A Blast From The Past

Wesley's POV

The files never seemed to go down no matter how hard I worked. It wasn't a big deal for me as at the end of the day, I was sure to spend the night beside my mate. She was truly something. A beautiful woman with a good heart. Let's not talk about her sexy slim waist and long legs. I thought to myself and chuckled.

"How was it ever going to be worth it for me to miss out on this feeling of being with my mate because of that Cheat?" I muttered and shook my head.

The time they say heal all wounds and I was ready to be healed but the anger of what happened that day made me not ever speak about it. I only told my beta about it when it felt like my heart was going to slam through my bones and he also did not mention it to anyone. Not even Anita knew about it until she pissed me off by disrespecting Elena.

A knock sounded on my door and Matthew walked in. I had been expecting him as what he was to handle shouldn't have taken so much time.

"Alpha." He greeted me calmly before we locked eyes and burst into laughter. This was the routine, he would usually act like he had any iota of respect for me before laughing like a fool for being unable to stay in character.

"Brother!" He said and we hugged, slapping each other's backs.

"Took you so long to take care of such a little problem, I wonder what happens when it is something serious. Or did you stop by Riverdale to see your little mistress?" I teased him and he held his sides as he laughed.

"Don't be like that. I only went to do your duties since you were obviously too busy getting off and finding your mate." He said and I sighed.

"Yes, she told me. As soon as you brought her in, she texted me." He added, seeing that I already knew my mother had told him about me finding my mate.

"My mom won't ever let me tell you about my news first. I'm sure she would have yelled it in the air if there were no phones." I said and we walked to the sitting area of my office.

I went to my mini-bar and got a bottle of cognac, ice, and some cups. We always do this after a successful intervention. Matthew and I grew up together, we were besties as his father was the beta to mine. Both families didn't treat us as friends, they treated us as brothers and sometimes, I think my mom prefers him to me because he indulges all of her excesses.

"Man, it was damp out there. People are really hungry. I had to stay back to oversee the fair distribution of the food you sent. Do you think we could build more shelters and have some of them moved here? It's getting pretty crowded and the children fall sick all the time from insect bites." Matthew suggested and I nodded my head.

"Take care of them the best way you feel they need. Let me know whatever you need to make sure that happens." I said and he nodded his head also in agreement. He poured us the drink and just as we relaxed to talk about what we had missed, my door was thrown open and Anita walked in. Her scent immediately infuriated my wolf and he started to growl.

She didn't understand that being in front of someone who knew about what had happened between us made me feel unhinged. If I decide to snap her little bitchy neck, no one would question me when I mention the previous crime that she has committed.

"What the bloody hell?" Matthew cursed.

"A new Luna? It's barely been six months! Were you cheating on me with her? I guess it was one big elaborate plan to sate me with marriage while you get the love from her?" Anita said and I heaved sadly.

She really did not understand what I was willing to put on the line for her sake. It saddened my heart that she would do this.

"Look, Anita, I think Wesley has tolerated your bullshit long enough. You had his ring on your finger and a wedding dress on, when you bent over at the back of the house you would have lived and ruled in for the driver to fuck you. If I were you, I would take the escape he is giving and never show my ugly and unwanted face here again." Matthew snapped at her. He has never liked the fact that I chose to call off the wedding and let everything go.

My mother had been hurt but she knew that I was doing the right thing as she never really liked Anita for being rude and mannerless to the staff and everyone under her.

"Just go, Anita. Elena is my mate and I will be getting married to her soon. Do well for yourself and make sure that you are scarce. I would not want to repeat this statement a second time." I threatened and she backed out slowly.

She knew there was no coming back from this now and she shamefully ran out of my office, slamming the door really hard.

"I'll have to instruct the guards not to give her free passage into the palace anymore. She is constituting a nuisance. The audacity she has to still come here and fight over another woman knowing fully well what she has done is the height of it. I never really liked her, she has always been too scheming for me. I wonder what you ever saw in her." Matthew scoffed and I chuckled.

"Anita used to be a wonderful woman. I don't know what changed but I really wished she had chosen better." I said and shook my head.
