Chapter 6 Meeting Her Nightmare

Shirley's POV

It was successful. Oh, the panic and worries I had to go through. It seems after that night, Larry had been ghosting me.

I should have gone a while ago, not until after my attempt to save the alpha, the next day, he declares me as Larry's true Luna.

How I hated that moment. Evelyn must think I snitched on her. To worsen it, I haven't gotten a chance to speak to Larry because he keeps flaunting his mistresses.

It becomes obvious, he was a wolf after all. I shouldn't have trusted him, he was like them.

Just the way he avoided me, I also tried not to get in contact with Evelyn. She'd be mad at me, but it wasn't really my fault.

I'll keep to the promise. I don't like Larry, and in my next life, I don't think I will.

It breaks my heart though, but I believe he didn't steal my heart. It's a week now, and it felt as though I'd been stranded in this palace walls.

No means to escape, but I'd leave anyway. I struck my legs lazily, wondering how I would have died if I had never crossed paths with Larry.

However, I pulled my steps when I found him, right there opposite me with a sided smile.

For a moment, I lost my breath, he felt like an illusion and I had to flutter my eyes to take a lucid picture.

What was he doing here?

My wolf howls, glaring at him and vibrating inside me. If I'd let her, she'd morph out and shred him into pieces.

He was with the alpha, side by side and smiling more broadly, that I felt hurt in my heart.

I stared at him as tears brewed up in my eyes. My world stopped for a moment. Our eyes locked on each other, and I was glued.

"It's so good to see you again, my son" the alpha's voice eluded my thoughts.

He looked humble and innocent, like he wasn't the man I'd spent my precious years with.

"So who's she? I don't see anyone except..." The alpha paused and then scanned me.

Who were they talking about? They were just a distance from me and seemed serious.

Did he really come back for me?

My heart was flustered, my lips were shaky and all I could feel was sadness hovering around me.

I felt like running to embrace him right there, to have him cuddle me again, to hear him out, to weep in his arms, but then, the past event with him lurks in my head.

"Shirley" he whispered and when I shifted my gaze, I found Larry beside me, locking fingers with me and I inhaled.

My body shook as he heaved a sigh. Where did Larry come from?

His eyes peered into mine, they gave me an assurance, never to turn back and just focus on what's in the present.

Now I could see him after he had ghosted me for a while. I tried to break out of his hold, to draw closer to Greg, but then it might seem awkward because the alpha was there.

I wasn't ready to answer questions that I couldn't fathom.

"Meet my Luna Greg", Larry declared, and I widened my eyes. I almost forgot I belong to someone else now.

However, not forever, he'd let me go because Greg was back for me and I just didn't know how to feel.

Greg narrowed his brows at me and then scoffed. I swallowed hard, finding it difficult to roll out a word.

"Is it true, Shirley?"

I shuddered, fear engulfed me and I recall that question when I was still his wife.

Whenever he asked that question, he'd have rage in his eyes, look drained and threatening.

"I...I.."

My legs were moving backward, as I could see he was holding a golf stick, swinging it to and fro.

His body was covered in blood and I closed my ears, stepping backward.

"How did you know her name?" Larry questioned with a frown at Greg. Nothing makes any sense to me.

Greg ignored that question and every other voice was gradually fading away except Greg, who took a calculative step forward.

I just didn't want to expose the fact that I know this man.

"Please don't come closer" I panicked, my sober eyes avoiding his gaze as Greg kept coming closer.

I almost passed out as my breath was a hassle, the thought of Greg taking control of my head.

His voice, his fragrance, his steps and all I could hear was he asking if I was alright.

He was fast, wanting to hold me, like he cared. The alpha beckoned to him that he had a lot to show him, and he should preserve the introduction for some other day.

But it seemed we were both in our world.

I couldn't tell what was real, I just wanted to run away and...

Larry again, he had enveloped me and I couldn't see Greg anymore but him. His hands were on my shoulders.

He stepped in between Greg and me. I could hear retreating footsteps, it was certainly the alpha and Greg.

I didn't know if they were worried, but his eyes bore grief and panic as he searched mine.

"Hey, Shirley, what's wrong?" Larry asked, but I was speechless, trying to regain my breath.

I felt trapped, trying to push Larry away, but then he embraced me. My body felt weak as he cuddled me in his arms.

I buried my face on his shoulder as I trembled in his hold.

Everything faded away, and my brain wouldn't focus.

"It's okay, I'm here now" he assured, in a low tone stroking my back.

I lost everything, my composure and ended up weeping in his arms.

I still loved Greg despite the abuse. A part of me wants him and the other part wants to push him away.

I shut my eyes and threw my hands around Larry, my body absorbed the feel of him.
