Chapter 41
Megan screamed in shock as she saw what had just happened,
while Trey curled up into a ball as he winced in pain on the
floor. People who had been watching the whole drama from
afar soon began to come closer.
“Oh my goodness, are you okay?” Megan asked as she crouched
beside Trey who was bleeding from his nose and mouth.
“Ahhhhhh.” Trey kept screaming as he held his face in his hands.
Megan turned to look at Steve who was still glaring at Trey like
he still wanted to tear him apart.
“Steve, we need to take him to the hospital. He is bleeding so much.” Megan said, panicking, but he didn’t budge.
“You can take him to the hospital or anywhere, I don’t care
about this bastard. He got what he deserved.” Steve said and
angrily walked off into the house, leaving Megan and Trey
outside.
As Steve opened the door and entered the house, he shut it
behind him and rested his head on the door, facing it as he
thought for a moment but as he turned around and was about to
U
make his way into the room, he was shocked and he stopped
Chapter 41
right in his tracks.
He was met with Veronica who was standing right in front of him in the living room. With the look on her face, he was sure that she had either seen all that happened or heard it all, but he
wasn’t sure. He could only hope that she didn’t see or hear so
much.
“Wha…what are you doing here?” He stuttered, whispering, and
immediately locked the door with the key.
He was shocked to see her in the living room and not in the
room, because he didn’t expect that she was going to be there at
that moment. He was also shocked that she could now walk
without anyone’s help.
Veronica’s eyes travelled from his face and fell on his now
wounded hand. He had sustained a little injury when he
punched Trey in the face and it had started bleeding a little bit.
“What if I wasn’t the one who came in?” He asked again, still
whispering and pulled her by the hand back into the room.
Back outside, Megan was giving the wounded Trey an earful,
“I told you to stop, didn’t I? But what did you do? You just kept
on running your mouth. Now, look at you. You never listen.”
She complained and hissed.

She then signalled to some of the people who stood around, watching, to help her get him to the hospital.
“I don’t even know why I’m doing this, especially after what you did to me earlier. You’re such a crazy person.” She complained again and Trey grunted as they helped him up and got him into
Megan’s car.
She then drove off to the hospital to get him treated.
After a moment of silence between Steve and Veronica, she
asked,
“Why did you get into a fight with your friend?”
“He is no friend of mine. That bastard is NOT my friend!” He
snapped, and Veronica shook.
“I’m sorry.” She apologized calmly. “Let’s get your hand treated then.” She said and went to get the first aid box.
She then began to clean his hand and after she was sure it was
properly clean, she applied treatment and covered it up.
“Thank you.” He said to her, and she nodded in response and put
the first aid box away.
They then sat in silence. They both had something to say to each
other, but just didn’t know how to say it or how to start the
Chapter 41
conversation, so they resorted to silence.
Steve finally broke the silence, “Are you not going to ask me
what happened?” He asked.
“Well, I tried.” She answered, shrugging.
“Look, I’m sorry for snapping at you like that. I just wasn’t in the
best place and I didn’t suddenly get into a fight with him. He
started it. In fact, he asked for it and he got what was coming to
him.” He replied.
“He has a terrible attitude. He was overbearing and doing too
much, okay? I just did what I had to do to shut him up.” He said
in his defense and Veronica sighed.
“But you are not any different now, are you?” She said, not
looking at his face.
He turned to look at her, asking, “What do you mean by that?”
“He provoked you, you fell into his trap, and punched him in the
face. That, if you ask me, makes you the same. That’s if you
won’t be tagged as the bad one.” She replied, looking at him
briefly and looking away.
“You saw everything?” He asked her, a bit surprised.
“Yes, and I heard everything.” She confirmed and he squeezed
Chapter 41
his face, a bit disappointed in himself. “Well, maybe not
everything though.” She chipped in, “because I didn’t hear what
he whispered into your ear.” She added.
“Yes, he provoked you but I still feel you could have walked
away no matter how angry you were.” She said.
“It’s not as easy as it sounds, really. It’s deeper than you think.”
He muttered inaudibly, making sure she didn’t hear him clearly.
“At least, Megan tried to stop you. You should have just asked
away, honestly.” She told him.
“In any case, anyone would blame you because you were the
one who threw the punch instead of walking away like a
gentleman, not him.” She said and paused for a moment.
“Look, I don’t know what you both had going on in the past but I
don’t think this is really good. I’m afraid this whole thing might
get you into trouble too because he is the victim now.” She
continued.
He squinted his eyes and said with a slight smile, “Don’t tell me
you care about me now.”
“Can you stop joking? This is a serious matter.” She frowned, but
to Steve, she looked cute because this was another person, aside Megan who seemed like she cared so much about him. He didn’t
Chapter 41
have a lot of them in his life and so he was grateful.
“This can be a serious issue.” She continued, “What if you’re
summoned by your Alpha?” She asked and he cleared his throat
and stopped smiling at the sound of what she said.
“How would you defend yourself because as it is now, all odds
might be against you. Many people might not see or hear him
when he said something to provoke you but they definitely saw the punch and the aftermath. Who do you think they’ll defend if
they are asked?” She said and Steve could only sigh.
“Anyway, I guess I just have to keep my fingers crossed as I wait
and watch how this whole thing unfolds.” He said calmly.
Megan, on the other hand, arrived at the hospital and Trey was
immediately taken in for quick medical attention.
Seeing Trey’s bloody face, the doctor couldn’t help but ask,
“What happened?”
Megan hesitated for a while before answering, “He got in a
fight.”
“What? I didn’t do anything wrong. He just punched me in the
face.” Trey disagreed with Megan.
“It seems you’re not in much pain, seeing as you’re still running
your mouth.” Megan said with a sneer and he glared at her.
Chapter 41
He then turned to the doctor and asked him, “Is it really bad?”
“Yeah, it is.” The doctor replied, “your nose seems to be broken.”
“Oh no!” He lamented. “Can it be fixed? Can it be treated? Can it
go back to normal?” Trey kept asking anxiously.
“It depends on the severity but I can assure you that we’ll try our
best to fix it. But for now, we need to take you in and begin
treatment immediately.” The doctor replied.
“Megan! Tell him that he won’t get away with this. I’ll see to it that he gets what he deserves.” He shouted at her, despite the pain he was in. “This is not the end, this is definitely not.” He
cried out.
“Let’s take him in.” The doctor ordered the nurses and they prepared to wheel him into the hospital on a stretcher.
As soon as the doctor was done talking, Trey swiftly picked his
phone from his pocket and he immediately dialled a number
and started reporting the case to whoever the person was, as he
was being wheeled into the hospital, while Megan just watched
on as she bit her lip for fear of what was likely going to happen.
While Steve and Veronica were waiting in silence, they heard a
knock on the door and Veronica shook right where she was
sitting.
Chapter 41
“I guess this is it.” Steve said as he got up to go and open the door.
“No matter what happens, make sure you don’t leave this room.”
He warned and she nodded sadly as she watched him head for
the door.
“Who is there?” Veronica heard him ask as he approached the
door.
