Eric was driving on the road but his mind was on Maya. He felt really bad because of how she treated him and though he understood her plight, he still felt pained about it.
She was in anguish and he wished she could allow him to at least hold her but even in her pain, there remained some disdain for him.
Eric continued driving sadly, almost losing concentration on the road. He slowly brought the car to a halt at the side of the road and then sighed.
"Fuck, I want to go back and talk to her. She's sad, why does she love acting so tough." Eric frowned and hit his hand on the steering wheel. "I made her like that, I'm so messed up. Shit!"
He banged his hand on the steering wheel again before restarting his car and driving off. As he drove off, he noticed through his car's rear mirror that someone was following him.
At first, he presumed it to be his imagination but then, the black Ferrari kept following him. If his car went to the right side of the road, the car would follow.
Any movement his car made was repeated by the person tailing him.
"What the fuck is this? Who is that?" Eric asked himself before stepping on the accelerator causing his car's pace to fasten.
The moment he started speeding, the person in the Black Ferrari started speeding as well. He was chasing after Eric's car.
" All have been doing since I got back is cursing, why is everything going wrong for me?" Eric looked behind his window and gasped.
He focused more on escaping and started going in between cars, beeping his horn for the cars to leave his way.
The car was speeding at close to 120 meters but the person didn't give up.
"You don't seem like an amateur, you're not even scared to drive at such a speed rate. Okay, we shall see." A smirk appeared on Eric's lips.
He swayed his car roughly to the right and then to the left, he stepped harder on the accelerator and made an instant curve to a street that he saw.
It took time for the black Ferrari to follow him.
Eric saw the open parking lot of a mall, and he saw a space there. Once more, he turned his steering wheel to the left and curved into the space. His car was among other cars and there was also another car similar to his.
Eric turned back and saw the black Ferrari race past the parking lot.
A sigh of relief escaped his lips but he was startled when someone knocked on his car window. He pressed a button causing his car window to slide down.
"Yes," Eric answered, almost glaring at the woman in front of him.
"You're going to prevent my car from coming out or moving backward, can please take your car out for a second? While I drive mine away from here." She complained but received a blank stare from Eric.
"Ok, I'll explain better. My car and someone's car have narrowed yours, meaning that I won't be able to take my car out of here because yours is a hindrance." She explained further, pointing her index finger to demonstrate to him.
Eric exhaled and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.
"Okay, I'm sorry for the obstruction." He apologized and started his car.
"It's okay, can I get your number?" She asked with a flirty smile.
"No, You have a ring on your finger, and even without it. You're not my type." a frown came on Eric's lips before he drove out of there.

Eric returned to his hotel and was stunned to see his father waiting in the hotel lobby. He knew that Fred wouldn't keep his mouth shut.
Alpha Damien saw his son and walked to him with a smile on his lips.
"Son."Alpha Damien grinned and patted his shoulder as he reached him.
"Father, why are you here?" Eric asked, displeased with his presence. "You're supposed to be at the house not here. I told you to leave me alone."
"Can you stop being rude? Remember that I'm still your Alpha and you should show me the respect that I truly deserve." Alpha Damien glared darkly at him. "I came to tell you that our sales here have been skyrocketing since that rejected girl became the talk of the town."
"Father, she has a name and it's Maya. Quit calling her a rejected girl. It's insulting." Eric gasped and looked away from him.
Alpha Damien rubbed his chin and chuckled.
"Son, get over your sentiments for that wretched girl. No one is on her side anymore, she's so ruined. Different rumors are going on about her and I'm sure that they will last for a long time."
Eric sensed that his father's words had a hidden meaning. He thought that he orchestrated the accident to implicate Maya.
"The internet quickly forgets things or certain incidents like sex tapes, bullying except someone is triggering them to keep remembering the issue. So tell me, did you have anything to do with what happened?" asked Eric, squinting at his father.
Alpha Damien stiffly laughed and patted his son's shoulder.
"I would have loved to receive the honors for destroying her company but I had no hand in it. It's painful to me because I had expected you to have snapped out of the diabolic enchantment she had placed on you. I thought that you had done it."
"Why are you talking like you don't know me?"
"Son, you once rejected her for the Alpha title, so don't act like you've never been desperate before. The innocent and guilty act doesn't suit you at all." Alpha Damien spewed.
Eric removed his father's hand from his djoujdr and replied resentfully.
"I did it because the people needed me and you were going to make Maya suffer, I couldn't allow that. I couldn't allow her confidence to be broken and her heart to be constantly shattered by people who knew nothing about her!"
"You were never going to approve our marriage, were you?" Eric asked a question that he already knew the answer to.
"Eric. Just be happy. Our company is now at the top, we are the envy of all." Alpha Damien smirked sinisterly. "She must be moping in her room, crying her ugly eyes out that her little company is going down the drain."
Eric couldn't take his heartless remarks anymore. He walked away from there with a heavy heart. He made some calls to important media personnel to take down the news as much as they could even if it meant threatening people.

Maya's mansion.
It was late in the night, and Maya was on the couch sleeping, she had fallen asleep after so much thinking and crying.
It was restless for her till she suddenly felt a hand on my hair, stroking it gently.
The feeling was quite soothing, she was enjoying every bit of it. It made a smile appear on her lips, it made her feel less stressed even in her sleep.
Maya slowly awakened but kept her eyes closed. She thought it was Johnny but realized that Johnny didn't have such a soothing effect on her and the scent was different.
Maya slapped the hand away and sat up in fear. She looked back and her eyes widened to see a naked Eric at the back of her couch.
"Are you out of your mind?" Maya yelled and stood to her feet.
Eric had shifted and must have broken some things and flown over the fence to get inside.
"What's wrong with you? Why do you keep invading my privacy?" Maya pouted at him but her wolf wasn't angry at all, instead that petty wolf of hers was jubilating.
"I love invading your privacy and invading other things," Eric smirked mischievously and flew over the couch.
The agility, that wonderful scent, the dashing, and heaven-made body. That possessive smirk he had, everything about him, turned her on.
"..."
Despite her anger, pain, and everything and had been feeling, she couldn't help but be struck by this man's beauty, so masculine and overwhelming.
"You're so shameless, coming here naked in front of a woman. I'll call the cops on you." Maya finally found her voice and threatened.
Eric scoffed; "Oh really? What are you going to tell them? Are you going to say that your werewolf mate slash stalker has been harassing you? Remember that you haven't accepted my rejection."
"Why should I? I don't want you to get a second chance mate. You don't deserve any other woman, no one should share your pain with you. I want your wolf to be lonely and belong to no one, it's just my little revenge." Maya said and pouted again.
"Then don't ever push me away again," Eric smirked and rushed to her, grabbing her waist and pulling her to himself.
Maya's breath began shuddering.
"Get out, please."
"I love it when you beg me, it makes my cock harden." He winked at her.
Her main doorbell suddenly rang and Johnny spoke.
"Maya, did you change the password, this one isn't working."
Maya's eyes widened and she tried to pull herself from the naked werewolf she was stuck with but he refused to let her go.
"Eric…"
"It's high time that I have a one-on-one chat with your fiancee. I need to tell him to leave my woman alone." Eric grinned at her.
