The Alpha’s Revenge

Chapter Four

Left with no choice, Amelia informed her mother about the pregnancy, and of course, Elizabeth threw a party to celebrate the beautiful moment. Of course, that was all she had always wanted; hence, she did not hesitate to celebrate it.

Even though her mind was not at rest. She decided to keep it going and not tell her mother the truth. Maxwell, on the other hand, was quiet throughout the event. Somehow, he was hurt about everything. He was hurt by the fact that she had deceived everyone.

After he returned home that night, they did not utter a word or say anything to each other until she left that very morning to return to her home. Her mother’s home.

Somehow, he felt he had made a mistake in taking her ex’s life. Perhaps he wasn’t responsible for the pregnancy? Although he acted like everything was fine and played along with her, he knew he could find out the truth from no one but her best friend, Emily, so after the event, he did not fail to set out for her and find out the truth.

Emily, who never wanted the duo to be together as she liked him as well, did not hesitate to tell him the truth about Alpha Pedro, the real father of the child. Amelia had trusted her so much and confided in her. As a matter of fact, Amelia had met him over and over again after she discovered his identity.

Of course, jealousy kicked in, and Maxwell was upset. Not only was he going to lose Amelia to another man, but her mother was definitely not going to give him a dime since he failed in his duty. Who would not want an alpha as his son-in-law as well?

Maxwell knew he had to do something to hurt them as well; hence, he connived with Emily, who was always readily available to be evil as long as it had to do with her friend, Amelia.

A couple of days later, a meeting was organized by, well, no one knew who. While some believed it was Elizabeth who arranged for the meeting, others thought it was Amelia who claimed to have a confession, thereby making them all confused.

“It could be Amelia, though. Perhaps she wants to tell everyone the truth about the father of her child. A certain maid started, drawing the attention of everyone to her. Of course, Maxwell and Emily were glad and excited for the drama that was about to unfold.

“What do you mean?” Amelia questioned, her brows furrowed. What on earth was the maid talking about?

“I saw Miss Amelia with another man—a mystery man—three months ago,” She answered.

“What are you saying? They could be friends,” Maxwell suggested, and everyone nodded. He knew exactly how to play his cards, and he was playing them just right. Being the villain and the savior both at the same time.

“Stop with the nonsense talks, okay? There are more important chores to do,” Elizabeth added, as she had already begun to get scared. That was the worst thing to do.

“Well, friends, do not kiss or stare at each other, or perhaps wrap their hands around each other like they were doing." She added arrogantly, releasing a gasp from everyone as they expected Amelia to defend herself, but she was quiet and looked on.

“You must have gotten the wrong person. Amelia could not do that.” He defended himself and turned to look at her. A devilish grin spread on his face, but it appeared just as soon as it came. “That wasn’t you, right? Amelia?” he questioned.

A tear fell from her eyes as she knew she would eventually put her mother to shame. Elixabeth leaned in closer to her daughter, her heart racing, and she hoped and wished it was a false accusation.

“She.....” Amelia sighed as she bent her head. “She is right,” Amelia confirmed, making them all gasp again. Her mother’s eyes were immediately filled with sadness as she wondered why Amelia would do that. She never pressured her, did she?

Maxwell smiled, and so did Emily. They finally got what they wanted.

“How could you, Amelia? What have you done to us?” He questioned her, faking a frown.

“But it was not my fault. It was a mistake!” She informed everyone else and looked up. Of course, she had the expression she had expected. Shame on her and disappointment

“So... tell us, then, who is the father of the child?” Maxwell questioned him, his hands crossed behind him. He enjoyed the mother and child’s facial expressions, as Elizabeth'shanged into one ofoneer.

“The father of the child is... She paused as she looked at everyone, including her mother. Their ears ached to hear the truth. “The father of my child is Alpha Pedro,” She clarified, making them all gasp again. It was good that it was an Alpha, and maybe she was quite lucky, but it still did not change the fact that she had done the wrong thing.

“I am sorry! It was a mistake! I was drunk!” She pleaded, hoping they would have mercy on her. Of course, she knew the punishment that followed what she had done, and she hoped they could pity her.

“Well, you know the rules." One of the elders informed her mother. “Do the right thing now,” He added. Almost immediately, everyone began to chant the infamous line each time something like that happened: “Banish her.”

Elizabeth watched in pain at how helpless her daughter was and how she had become an object of ridicule. She shut her eyelids tight as she tried to prevent tears from coming out of them. She opened it again and looked at her daughter. Justice had to be served.

“You are herby banished from this pack,” She announced softly before standing up to leave.
