Chapter Two
Bethany's pov
It was already late at night when I finally stopped at a popularly well known club at the pack. I had been roaming the streets for what seemed like hours after Joel had ruthlessly rejected me.
The last cash I had on me, I had used it to ride the cab which took me to Joel's house so after been thrown out, I really had no where to go.
I don't know what demon pushed me, but the next second, I found myself walking into the club. It was packed with so many people dancing and partying hard under the bright disco lights hung over our heads.
As I pushed towards the crowd, I found smell sweat, different ranges of perfume from cheap to choking to expensive and the smell of sex wasted people.
By the time I got to the bathroom, I was already feeling nauseous. I quickly placed my purse down Infront of me and upon meeting my reflection, I thought back to Joel's words. I reached to touch the sunken flesh around my cheeks and the hallowness in my eyes. I had really lost weight over the past few months. Most of my blonde hair began falling out due to stress so it usually up in a bun. The spark of joy and happiness in my eyes have died over the years and now the woman staring back at me had a hallow expression on her face.
Suddenly, some women came out of the bathroom stalls and headed for the mirror. I noticed there dressing; how exposed they were, leaving nothing to the imagination. There make up was heavy but they still applied more foundation and lipstick, coating their faces with pouting lips.
I felt awkward just standing there while most of them were glaming up, so I just grabbed my purse and intended to leave.
“Are you really not planning on doing anything to gain Alpha Damien's attention?” A woman beside me asked. She had long false lashes and her lip was blood red.
“Alpha Damien?” I had a brow up in confusion, wondering at the name. It sounded familiar but hearing it from someone else for the first time, I had no clue as to where I knew the name. “Who is that?”
Most of the women were looking at me strangely, like I had said something forbidden.
“You're joking right?”
I was so embarrassed. I knew Alpha Geeoge but for six months, due to my sister's illness, I was unaware of the hierarchy change over the months.
“Alpha Damien is Alpha George's son. He took over four months ago and usually comes to this club every Friday to find one woman to take home for the night.”
I was disappointed. This was the consequences of letting someone as young and immature take on the affairs of the pack. I had no interest in whatever they had to say next so I was prepared to leave.
“Would you believe what I would do with 500,000$. That's an insane amount of money to just spend a night with him.” The words of the first woman I had spoken to caused me to freeze in my steps.
“He's a multi billionaire and also get his revenue share as Alpha of the biggest pack in the country. 500,000$ is nothing.”
I didn't want to ask any further questions seeing as the womeb were already giving me side eyes. It was like a silent competition between them for who to get chosen by the Alpha. I caught my reflection in the mirror once again and even I was disappointed with what I saw, what more a highly esteemed Alpha who has seen better looking women.
And my virginity was on the line. It was my honor, literally the only priceless thing I had with me. I would be giving my innocence away in exchange of money like a prostitute. But my sister was the only person I had in the world right now. I couldn't afford to loose her so I couldn’t care less.
Right there Infront of the women, I took down my head and with careful strokes of my hand left my curls dancing behind my back. I ripped the side of my gown till it was short against my thighs and tossed the other pieces out.
Most of them were looking at me now but I didn't even bother meeting their eyes. I had tossed my shame out the window and didn't care anymore. I reached out for a stray lipstick on the table and leaning over the mirror, I applied it before heading out.
“One shot of your strongest alcohol please.” On reaching the bar, I ordered the Barman who arrived with my order in a few minutes. I took gulp and gulp after that till I was so drunk It felt like the room was spinning.
“You know what, I shouldn't just sit around waiting for prince charming to arrive and swoop me into his bed. I should be on the face floor enjoying myself.” At the thought, I grabbed my last shot of tequila, drank it and headed foe the dance floor.
I let loose, letting the rhythm of the loud music blaring from the loud speakers resonate with my wild body movements. I threw my head around, whined my body and danced my heart out.
Wasted after dancing for so many hours, I finally sat back down and ordered for another drink. I had already given hope of waiting, Gavin heard no news of Alpha Damien arriving after a while.
Suddenly someone sat next to me and as I turned, I was taken aback at how green his eyes were. They were enchanting and held mine for a while, a knowing smirk crawling up his face when he noticed me staring for long.
“I noticed you dancing for a while. I wanted to come up to ask for a dance with you but you looked like you were enjoying yourself.”
I blushed but I still made sure to look around, my eyes fidgeting.
“Are you looking for someone?” I missed the glint in his eyes as I turned to him.
“I’m waiting for Alpha Damien.”
“Ah. He left just as quickly as he came. You must have missed him.”
As he got up, I couldn't be able to hide the disappointment in my eyes. Was there really no hope? Was every thing I did have to summount to nothing?
“Would you like to spend the night with me?”
I wanted to deny him, to leave and never leave back, to burst into tears and cry my heart out but I suddenly placed my hands in his and answered without hesitation.
“Yes. Take me out of here please.”
In the hotel room, we were relieved of our clothes quickly after which he made love to me. I had only gone as far as kissing with Joel, but doing something so raw and intimate with another man, especially this stranger I had just met a few minutes ago was electric. His touch on me, his cock riding hard and mercilessly inside me, everything sent surges of pleasure travelling through my body.
The night wore long as we went a few more rounds. I didn't even know when I fell asleep.
The next morning, I woke up to the man already standing in front of the bed, dressed and ready to leave.
Sitting there, with a few recollection of what had happened last night and a searing pain between my legs, I drew the sheets up my body, watching him.
His back was broad and the clothes hugged his toned body firmly. The watch on his wrist was expensive and when he turned, those green of his hemf mine in captive. But they were cold now and filled with anger.
“You let me take you to bed well aware that you were a virgin?” His voice was harsh and I flinched underneath the tone.
I didn't know what else to say.
“You women will always find disgusting ways to get yourself in my bed just for money, well, If that's what you want, here…” he tore a check from a check book he was holding, and flung it over me.
I shamelessly caught it. His words had hurt me but I just didn't care.
“Get yourself some pills and ensure this mess is sorted out. You were a virgin, but you were smart enough to get into my bed, you can be able to handle this yourself.”
He turned away and left without a word and I barely acknowledged him leaving. That was because I was looking at a whooping sum of $1000000.
And the man's name was no other than Alpha Damien Hugo.
