69. Leave Me Alone!
~Alpha Callum's Mansion~
Beta Amir reported to Alpha Callum what had happened at the beachfront. "The guards reported to me that Viviana had a visitor today, and they talked for almost two hours, then the visitor went home," he said.
Alpha Callum raised a brow. "And who is the visitor?" he asked.
"The guard sent me her photo. It's no other than Aurelia, Alpha Bruce's wife of the Bloodhound Pack," Beta Amir replied.
The frown on Alpha Callum's forehead deepened. "Why did Aurelia visit Viviana? Are they friends?"
Beta Amir scratches his head. "As far as I know, they aren't..."
"So why did Aurelia visit Viviana? What is her purpose for the visit? And what are they talking about?" Alpha Callum asked in puzzlement.
"I have no idea, Alpha. The guard wasn't able to come close to the women to spy on their conversation," Beta Amir explained.
Alpha Callum fell silent for a moment, pondering what to do. What's the best thing to do?
Beta Amir cleared the lump in his throat. "Should we inform Luna Charice about Aurelia and Viviana's meeting on the beach?" Beta Amir asked.
Alpha Callum shook his head, his face serious. "No. I don't want my wife to feel stressed about it. I want her to live in peace and not be bothered by the two women. I will take care of this myself," he said, standing up.
"Are you going somewhere, Alpha? Do you want me to come with you?" Beta Amir asked.
Alpha Callum shook his head. "No. Just stay here. I'm going to confront Viviana about her involvement with Aurelia. I will put an end to their connection before they can form a deeper friendship. I'm not comfortable with their friendship at all. If my wife asks about me, just tell her that I'm going somewhere to take care of some important matters. I'll return in a few minutes," he said.
"Copy Alpha," Beta Amir said.
Alpha Callum vanished from the room in the blink of an eye, teleporting to Viviana's house.
He appeared outside Viviana's house where the guards were stationed.
The guards saw him. "Good day Alpha," they greeted him in unison.
He approached the guards. "Everything is okay here?" he asked.
"Yes, everything is fine here," the guards replied in chorus.
"Where is Viviana?" Alpha Callum asked.
"She is inside the house, Alpha," one of the guards replied.
"OK. Inform her that I'm here. I'll wait for her in front of the beach," Alpha Callum ordered.
"Copy, Alpha," the guard said, and walked to the house.
Alpha Callum settled on the sun lounger, facing the beach.
A few moments later, the guard returned and said, "Alpha, Viviana told me that she is not feeling well. You have to go to her room if you want to talk to her."
"OK." Alpha Callum stood up and entered the house. He climbed the stairs and went to Viviana's room.
When he entered the room she was lying on the bed, looking like she was suffering from morning sickness.
Viviana looked at her ex-husband with deep longing in her eyes. "Finally, you visited me and our baby. I thought you had already forgotten about us," she said, lamenting, while caressing her baby bump for him to see, poking at his conscience.
Alpha Callum ignored her, trying to downplay her guilt-tripping tactics. "My guards told me that you had a visitor today, and it's no other than Aurelia."
Viviana raised a brow. "So what? Am I no longer allowed to accept visitors in my own house?"
"You can accept anyone, just not Aurelia!" Alpha Callum said in a hard tone.
Viviana's forehead creased. Her suspicion grew by leaps and bounds. "And why can't I have Luna Aurelia in my house? Do you know her? Did she offend you in the past? Is she your enemy?"
Alpha Callum's face darkened. "I don't need to explain to you the reason why. Just stay away from Aurelia. She is not a good influence on you. My guards will no longer accept Aurelia. If she comes here, she will be turned away. She is not welcome here!"
Shocked, Viviana stared at her ex-husband's face in consternation, intense hatred flashing in her eyes. "We are no longer together, why are you still interfering with my life? You can't tell me what to do!" she said defiantly.
"My guards will obey my orders. Aurelia is banned from entering this property. Period!" Alpha Callum laid down his new rules for her to follow.
"I hate your guards. They are busybodies. Take them back! I will hire my own guards!" she demanded angrily.
"No you can't! You signed the contract between us. The guards are here to protect you and our baby. I will take the guards away if you give me the baby after you give birth. You can hire any guards you want as long as you give me full custody of our baby. If you don't agree, my guards will stay. Do you understand?" Alpha Callum's voice thundered around the room.
Tears of disdain filled Viviana's eyes. "Why are you bullying me?" Leave me alone! We are already divorced. Stop interfering with my life! Go back to your impostor wife!" she said, yelling at him at the top of her lungs, wanting the entire household to know that her ex-husband was bullying her.
Alpha Callum stepped closer to the bed. "I warned you. Stay away from Aurelia, she will corrupt your mind!"
She met his gaze bravely. "So you already know your wife's deepest secret?"
Alpha Cullum's brows snapped together. "What do you mean? What do you know?"
Viviana let out a shrill laugh. "I know Charice is Clarice. She was Alpha Bruce's ex-wife, who was presumed dead and vanished. Aurelia told me everything about Clarice's dirty secret. So stop bullying me or else the whole werewolf community will learn about Charice's secret!" she threatened him.
Alpha Callum's eyes turned into slits due to anger. "Spread the news, and you will end up dead while sleeping, bitch!" he hissed into her face, his look murderous.
"Try it!" Viviana laughed in amusement. "You can't kill me! I'm carrying your baby inside my womb, remember?"
Alpha Callum stood frozen after remembering Viviana was carrying his baby. He can't let his anger get the better of him, he might be the cause of the death of his own child.
Viviana glared at him icily. "Now leave my house! You are trespassing!"
Alpha Callum's mouth emits a menacing growl. "I warn you, Viviana, do not cultivate friendship with Aurelia! If you do, you will regret it!"
"Stop giving me orders! I'm no longer your wife! I'm no longer your Luna! Leave me alone! Get out of my house!" Viviana shouted indignantly, hurling the pillow in his face.
Annoyed, Alpha Callum picked up the pillow and put it back on the bed. "Don't push my bottom line! Avoid making stupid mistakes for your own good. Do you understand?"
Furious, Viviana spit saliva into his face. "That is for betraying me! For divorcing and abandoning me and my baby! Get out of my room! Get out of my house! I hate you so much!"
Alpha Callum stared at his ex-wife, seething in anger.
Viviana screamed at the top of her lungs, spitting venom into his face. "Leaveeee noooow!"
Alpha Callum walked to the door and exited the room, his jaw tight with anger.
After giving instructions to the guards that Aurelia is banned from Viviana's property, Alpha Callum teleports back to the mansion just in time to join Clarice and their son in the pool for family bonding.
He pretended nothing had happened and smiled brightly for his family to see.
Clarice had no idea that her husband and Viviana had a huge fight in the beach house because of Aurelia.
