Chapter 3 too short
Alisha’s POV
Fuck Archie!
I’m about to explode with this bastard’s answer. How could he be so heartless? I took a deep breath before answering his call, my anger simmering just below the surface.
"What the hell are you talking about, Archie?" I called him and asked angrily.
"I never agreed to give you half of my money," he replied curtly.
I couldn't believe his audacity. "I'm your wife as well as the Luna of the Golden Crest, Archie. I deserve a fair share of our assets."
"That's not going to happen, Alisha. We're not getting divorced."
I was taken aback. "What are you talking about? I told you this morning that I wanted a divorce. According to the werewolf rules, I was rejecting you and you didn't object."
"I will never allow it." Archie insisted, his voice stern.
I felt my blood boil. "You don't get to decide that! I'm done with this marriage, Archie. It's over."
Archie growled on the other end of the line. "We got married before the Moon Goddess, Alisha. All the pack members witnessed it. You can't just throw that away."
I rolled my eyes. "We can divorce before the Moon Goddess too."
"Stop talking nonsense, Alisha. You're my wife, and I won't let you go that easily," Archie snapped. "How dare you reject me!"
I felt a pang of fear. The alpha was the most powerful and noble existence in a pack, and none dared go against his will.
But maybe because of the lack of my wolf, I usually couldn’t feel his dangerous vibe. I just treated him as my husband, my lover, instead of a cold and strict ruler.
But now, I felt a little scared, for Archie in fact never said so sternly to me before.
Yeah, I wouldn’t be his wife in the future, so he needn’t pretend to be a gentle husband.
“Remember, Alisha, you are my wife! Don’t let me hear the word ‘divorce’ again! Otherwise, I…”
Before he finished his remarks, I hung up the phone.
Damn Archie! He must be very happy with the divorce news, but he wouldn’t like to spare half of his wealth!
Nova hurried to ask me, “How did he reply you? Does your husband agree with the division of property?”
I shook my head gloomily. “His attitude is too bad! I thought he wouldn’t agree.”
“Fuck him! He is the one who has an affair with that bitch Erma during your marriage, but now, he refuses to bear the consequence! A mean guy!”
I bit my lip hardly. At this time, Archie’s call came again. But I rejected it immediately.
Then my phone rang again and again and I kept rejecting it. I didn’t want to talk with that bastard now.
Nova said, “Well done, Alisha, you needn’t waste time on your shit husband. He has given so many resources to Erma and helped her to become a singer star in the human world, but he treats you so harshly!
I became more furious after hearing this. Nova was right. Erma was a normal she-wolf in the Golden Crest, but in the human world, she had another identity, a famous singer and Archie was her investor.
I had already known this, and I thought this was a way for Archie to compensate Erma. After all, they failed to get married because of me, but now, I realized that it was not only about compensation, but also the show of love.
My phone finally stopped ringing half an hour later. Before I took a sigh of relief that Archie was tired of this childish play, many messages flooded into my phone.
“Alisha, how dare you reject my phone!” Why daren’t I? I was happy to receive your call before and didn’t want to miss any of them, but now, your call just made me annoyed.
“Alisha, call me back right now!” No way! From the call that was picked up by Erma, you have lost the privilege to get my reply immediately. I have given it to you before, but you never value it.
“Get over yourself!” You’re an arrogant jerk, Archie!
“I give you 3 minutes. You must call me back!” You wouldn’t get my call even after 3 hours! I promised.
“I’m telling you for the last time!” Who cared? You are nothing to me now.
“Alisha! You just care about money! Do you think that I will give in to your little tricks?”
“I can’t believe your never!”
“Now that you refuse to talk with me, from today, you’re not allowed to use my money!”
“Divorce? You never work after graduation, so how can you earn your own living?”
As I read through Archie's messages, I felt a wave of anger wash over me. This was it. I had had enough.
"Nova," I said, turning to my best friend, "I need to find a job. I need to prove to myself that I can make it on my own." My voice was shaking with emotion. "I need to prove to myself that I can make it on my own."
Nova's eyes widened with surprise, but then she smiled warmly. "I'm with you all the way," she said. "You know you're talented in music. Remember what the professor said? He said you had what it takes to be a professional musician. You shouldn't have given up on your dreams when you got married."
Her words stung, but they were also true. I had let go of my dreams to be a supportive wife to Archie, but it had all been for nothing. I had to correct my mistakes and pursue my passions once again.
With my job writing songs at university, I finally had a chance to support myself and chase my dreams. "Thank you, Nova," I said, tears welling up in my eyes. "Your support means everything to me. I can't believe I'm doing this, but I'm finally going to pursue my dreams."
"I have no doubt that you'll succeed," Nova said, placing a reassuring hand on my shoulder. "You're the most gifted composer I've ever met. And tomorrow, I'll even introduce you to some professional composers who can help you achieve your goals."
As I picked up my phone to respond to Archie's message, I felt a newfound sense of determination. "I'm not trying to threaten you," I typed. "I just need to leave you. It's time for us to move on. My rejection is serious." And with those words, I knew that I was taking the first step towards a better life.
“Fuck! I have provide you with much money, big house and the noble identity as my wife, where are you unsatisfied with your life now?”
“You!”
“Are you out of your mind?”
“Your personality is too mean, your temper is too bad and the most important thing, your pennis is too short!” After sending this message out, I turned off my phone right away and then went to room to have a good sleep.
