Chapter 3 Enlightenment Part 2

“Kosta, I asked you a question. What the hell is going on?” I said. “Like Khalis said, you were busy, so she came to do your job for you. If you spent more time catering to me, your mate, and less time working or whatever you are doing, Khalis wouldn’t have to step in and take care of my needs.” Kosta said. I and every pack member gasped. I could not believe he openly disrespected me like that after everything I have done for him and this pack. I did all of that for him. This ungrateful ass. “So now I’m working too much, making your pack financially secure? You were not complaining when the pack was bankrupted and I worked day and night just so you could feed the pack another day. Was I working too hard then? It’s only now that you think the pack is out of the woods that I am working too hard. Now that everyone is comfortable and not at risk of starving, you want to change. Ok, I see who you are now. So instead of appreciating the sacrifices I made for us and the pack, you are sitting here with your whore, enjoying the feast that my hard work made possible. I’m glad I finally understand where your priorities lie. Trust me, I will never make the same mistake twice.” I said a started to walk away. I need to get out of here before I wolf out and kill one of them. After tonight, Khalis can have him. He is not the male I thought he was. I refuse to fight for someone who can spit on all the effort I put into making him great. “Don’t walk away from me Zell,” Kosta yelled. “Why not? You don’t need me. You have Khalis here to take care of all your needs. She is welcome to you. I hope you all will be very happy together. As for me, I’m done. Good luck to you and this pack. I hope you can handle the fallout for you and your whore’s actions.” I said and kept walking. “Mind how you talk to me, Zell. I may be your mate, but I am still the alpha. As a matter of fact, as of right now, I am stripping you of all of your luna privileges.” Kosta yelled. “Alpha, what are you doing?” Beta James asked. “Mind your business Beta. This is my pack.” Kosta says. “Yes, and as your beta and friend, it is my job to tell you when you are making a mistake. Alpha, you are dangerously close to crossing the line of no return. Let’s all calm down and discuss this later.” Beta James said. “Beta, my word stands. Zell, until you learn to respect me as your alpha, you can forget about representing this pack in any aspect. I will be instructing the security team to restrict all of your access. You are no longer the COO of our businesses. As of now, you are just a regular pact member with no power.” Kosta said with a smirk. “First of all Alpha.” I spat. “Respect is earned. While you are trying to throw your weight around, you can have the luna title back. I no longer want it. As far as the business, have you forgotten that I own 51% of every business we have? I also provide 60% of the pack budget from my personal accounts. So while you can restrict my duties as Luna, you cannot touch the business, but I’ll do you a solid. You can buy me out of the business and I will withdraw all of my personal finances from the pack.” I said, smiling. I can see that he had forgotten how dependent his pack was on me, but oh well. He made his bed. Now he and his whore can lie in it. “Oh, and Alpha, if you try to strong-arm me, I will have to call in the full loan that I gave this pack when we mated. Remember, we signed a contract for the loan. You have only paid me a small portion of the loan and I have not pushed the issue because we were happily mated, but the contract is legal and binding. Don’t push me, Kosta. You, of all people, know how ruthless I can be if pushed.” I said calmly. I walked off again and made it as far as the stairs. I realized that I could not stay in my current room anymore. There is no way on this goddess-green earth that I want to be in a room with Kosta. Not that he has really shared it with me lately. Now I know why. Khalis has been feeding him and he has been eating it up. They both miscalculated. They thought I would be leaving here with nothing. The jokes on them. I may have been in love, but there is no love in business. I may have put my all into saving this pack and making it independently wealthy, but my parents did not raise a fool and I protected my finances. I invested millions in this company and pack. Did he really think I would protect my money? Does he not remember the prenup my father made him sign since I was a minor when he brought me to this pack? He never gained control over my finances. Khalis just showed her hand. After what I just saw, she has a right to be confident. Kosta has completely changed. He is not the man that I mated. He is not the boy that I followed around when I was younger. I don’t know what happened or when he changed. Maybe this is who he really is and, like with Khalis, I just never saw his true self. He must have hidden it from my father and brother as well. There is no way they would have let me come here when I was 17 if they knew this was how he would end up treating me. I can see now that it is over between Kosta and me. I need to start planning my exit. I pulled up my computer and moved all of my finances from the pack accounts. I closed all the joint accounts I had with Kosta. Most of them were financed with my money. I left the ones that he financed in his name. I don’t want anything from him at all. After I handle business, I call my brother. I will need his help to leave here safely. Now that Kosta knows that all the money is still tied up with me, I doubt he will let me leave easily. I’m sure he and the whore are plotting up something.
