Chapter 45 What If He Doesn\u2019t Want Me?<\/p>\n
Deanna\u2019s POV:<\/p>\n
The bathroom door slammed open.<\/p>\n
Jake stumbled out, looking nothing like the proud, powerful Alpha from a moment ago.<\/p>\n

Lily and the assistants outside heard the commotion. They peeked in and froze when they saw me, soaking wet, my ceremonial gown wrinkled and clinging to me.<\/p>\n
My expression wasn\u2019t hardened because Jake had stormed out.<\/p>\n
It was because my hand still ached where he had gripped it too hard.<\/p>\n
Jake is a total brute!<\/p>\n
I never knew he had this side to him.<\/p>\n
In the past, his anger was always cold, heavy with that Alpha pressure, but never out of control like today.<\/p>\n
The last time I witnessed him lose control was three years ago.<\/p>\n
Back then, I had just started at Mistbane Group. No one knew I was the Alpha\u2019s daughter. The employees at Mistbane Group all believed I was just an ordinary worker.<\/p>\n
One night, I went with my manager to meet clients. After a few drinks, one of them tried to get handsy.<\/p>\n
My manager, desperate for a deal, shoved me toward him, then slipped away. He left me alone with those clients in that room.<\/p>\n
By the end of the night, one of them tried to touch my leg.<\/p>\n
Furious, I dumped my drink on him.<\/p>\n
The bar owner was Jake\u2019s friend. He heard the commotion and came rushing over.<\/p>\n
Jake showed up not long after. His rage was terrifying. He smashed a bottle over the client\u2019s head and swore he\u2019d cut his hand off if he tried it again.<\/p>\n
Back then, I was moved. I thought he was protecting me out of care. Later, I learned it wasn\u2019t about me at all. It was his alpha instinct\u2013his need to claim and control.<\/p>\n
I knew it too well. The moment he saw those marks on my neck, the moment he realized I wasn\u2019t his \u201cfirst,\u201d it would drive him<\/p>\n
mad.<\/p>\n
His pride as a werewolf was crushed underfoot.<\/p>\n
That was precisely my revenge.<\/p>\n
But I never thought he\u2019d throw water on me.<\/p>\n
That awful jerk!<\/p>\n

I twisted my sore wrist and bent down, looking for my phone.<\/p>\n
It had been tossed to the floor, now soaked by the bathroom water.<\/p>\n
Lily picked it up for me and handed it over.<\/p>\n
\u201cMs. Wiley, maybe you should change your clothes. We\u2019ll clean up here.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright.\u201d<\/p>\n
I glanced down at the drenched gown clinging to me.<\/p>\n
It was couture, ruined beyond repair.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe cost for the gown,\u201d I said coldly, \u201cJake can pay for it. He\u2019s the one who ruined it, not me.\u201d<\/p>\n
I changed out of the gown in the fitting room, and walked out of the studio.<\/p>\n

Flagging down a cab, I thought about going straight home. But the idea of sitting alone in that empty house made me hesitate.<\/p>\n
My personal phone was broken, so I couldn\u2019t reach anyone. I told the driver to head toward the nearest mall. I figured my priority was getting the phone fixed.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s when the other phone in my bag\u2013the work one\u2013rang.<\/p>\n
I pulled it out and checked the screen.<\/p>\n
It was Philip.<\/p>\n
He probably couldn\u2019t get through to my personal phone, so he called this one.<\/p>\n
I swiped to answer. Philip\u2019s voice came through right away. \u201cDeanna, how was the gown fitting? Your mom heard about it and said you should bring Jake home for dinner tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n
I curled my lips into a half\u2013smile. \u201cJake probably doesn\u2019t have much of an appetite right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat did you do this time? Don\u2019t forget our deal. If you want those shares, you\u2019d better settle down and get married.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDad, if you\u2019re so curious about what I did, why don\u2019t you ask Jake yourself? And are you sure you would rather not hand me that<\/p>\n
30% now?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course not. As long as you become the Luna of the Olsendreich Pack, I\u2019ll transfer the shares to your name\u2013along with one of our malls. How\u2019s that?\u201d<\/p>\n
Philip really would do anything to push me into this alliance.<\/p>\n
I let out a soft laugh and rolled my wrist, still sore from earlier.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd what if Jake doesn\u2019t want to go through with the ceremony?\u201d<\/p>\n
