Chapter 6

• Mildred's POV
• I walked out on him, hoping and praying that he'd follow me, but to my disappointment he stayed back watching me leave. I could feel how hurting my words were to him.
• I tried to forget about it and move on, but I kept seeing his pleading face. I went home, prepared and was on my way to my job at the gym when I saw someone standing at the front of my door.
• Mr. Martin!
• "Go.. goo.. good morning sir." I stuttered, trying my best not to show fear for the person standing in front of me.
• It was my boss from the newspaper company. He looked like he came for war and was ready to detach my head from my body.
• "I.." I swallowed hard. "I woke up sick, and decided to go and get drugs. I didn't go with my phone, I was so weak that I forgot it, but I think I'm better now." I explained, but he was looking at me all the while like he lost his hearing abilities.
• The truth is, Mr. Martin had been making advances at me, doing everything within his reach to get me in his bed, but I kept turning him down.
• "Mildred Paige, you've got nerve." He said emphatically.
• "It's not..." I started to say, but he cut in.
• "Shut up, I'm still talking bitch!" He screamed at my face and I froze. "You forgot how you came begging me for the job? What do you think you are to keep me waiting?" He barked.
• "I'm sorry sir, but you have no right to come to my house and start shouting at me. I'm not indebted to you, I'm only a casual worker in an organization where you are the manager and as of now, I quit." I declared and made to walk past him, but he pushed me back, making me stagger till I almost fell.
• "You shouldn't be aggressive, Mill, someone called to tell me that you went to a hotel with a man, a total stranger, last night to do what I have been begging you for." He started calmly, but ended up raising his voice. "You gave him in a platter of gold! What did he say to entice you.. Hun?"
• "I have to go, Mr. Martin, I'm running late for work." I said, but he wouldn't budge. "Do you know I can arrest you for trespassing?" I shouted out of frustration
• "Then call the police let's see who goes to jail." He dared me and I knew he was up to no good.
• Just as I wanted to bring out my phone to call Aya, it started ringing. Checking to see who the caller was, it was my boss at the gym. I was about to pick up when he hit my hand and the phone fell off.
• "What do you think you are?" He asked and grabbed me by my shoulders. He pushed me and I staggered and hit my back on my door.
• I attempted to get back up, but he slapped me hard on my face. I raised my head to see someone coming towards us, and threw his wallet and phone at me.
• "You bloody whore." He kicked me. "You cheap thief." He spat at me, this time, he started drawing attention and crowd started gathering.
• "What happened? What did she do?" I heard from the crowd, I wanted to reply, but he started before me.
• "I thought she was drunk last night, because I was drunk as well, when I took her to the hotel room I logged, to help her, because she was begging me though. She tried to seduce me and I couldn't help it since I was drunk, I fell for her. I woke up this morning, but she was no longer on the bed and my phone and wallet were missing, luckily for me I caught her running through the gate and followed her here." He explained with an expression that even I would have fell for it, if I wasn't the victim.
• "It's not true." I protested, but no one listened to me, as he looked influential and they saw the wallet and phone with me.
• Two police officers suddenly came, curfew my hands behind and dragged me to their vehicle, without asking me any question. They drove off and I was detained at the police station.
• I was unable to get back my phone when it fell off, so I couldn't make a call. The officers got tired of hearing I heard no one to call except Aya and I didn't have her number off head.
• They asked where they could find her and I told them our office address. They went to look for her while I sat there helplessly.
• This wasn't the first time something like this was happening to me, I was supposed to have gotten used to it, but it as easy as it seemed. I remembered all three times I had similar experiences.
• I regretted leaving the strange man with whom I spent the night. If I were with him, all these wouldn't have happened. I wouldn't be here and people won't think I was a cheap thief and whore.
• The officers that went in search of Aya came back to tell me that she denied knowing me. I laughed at them, claiming they didn't go to her, but they showed me a video of her saying things about me that my made my boss refuse to follow them.
• "I know Mildred Paige, but she isn't my friend as she claims. I mean who will try to seduce her best friend's boyfriend." She said looking betrayed. I'm sorry officers, but I can't help her, besides we were together last night when she followed the stranger home or whatever place they claimed to have gone..." I was still seeing the video when I saw the stranger I actually spent the night with and tried to make them pause the video but they won't listen.
• "Mildred Paige!" I heard and raised to see Mr. Martin smiling mischievously at me while the two officers that were with me walked away. "I don't have the mind of hurting anyone, so what do you say about my request?" He smirked.
• I was so mad that I slapped him from where I was and the officers rushed to us. While we were still at it, I saw Mr. Arnold McLean walking towards us.
• "Who is the bastard that did that to my woman?" He growled. I started crying as I heard his voice, making him angrier.
• "I saw the video you bastard." He said, grabbing Mr. Martin by the collar of his shirt and throwing him away like a piece of trash. He hit my cell gate and fell like a log of wood to that amazement of everyone around, except me who was amused.
• He rushed to him again and started throwing punches at his face. All the officers that tried to stop him, got a punch or two sending them sprawling on the floor, then it was no longer funny to me.
• "What are you doing?" I screamed and he stopped abruptly.
• "I'm sorry, Luna, I don't know how you do it here, but where I came from, no one dares touch the Luna. You are an Alpha's mate." He said getting up on his own accord.
• "Now, you should explain what happened between you and Mr. Martin to the officers, so he will be dealt with by the law." I ordered and he went to help the officers who were still struggling to get to their feet up.
• "I'm sorry for what I just did, I couldn't bear the thought that you allowed this imbecile do that to an innocent woman." He pointed at me" and instead of making him pay, you're arresting an innocent person?
• "Sorry sir." The officers chorused.
• He showed them the CCTV footage from the hotel we went to last night and Mr. Martin was thrown in jail, while I came out.
• The officers listened to my explanation and apologized to me.
• "I'm sorry Mildred, it was your friend's boyfriend that told me you were with a man last night at a hotel, he said a lot of things, but I'm sorry.
• "Mildred, you have suffered a lot in the human realm, come with me to my pack and be my luna, so that no one will be able to intimidate or oppress you any longer.
• I remembered all he had been saying last night and this morning, then a flash of what happened between him and almost all the men here a while ago came flashing through my mind and the big question came to mind again..
• "Mr. Arnold McLean, who exactly are you? No, what are you?" I asked, hoping to get answers from him.
