[ Adonis’ pov ]

I stared at the blue sky. The night was slowly creeping, painting the sky in dark purple. I felt a void in my heart. The dull ache, the howling of my wolf makes me yearn all the time. I couldn’t focus on my work, my private life but everything feels like a burden. The harsh slap of betrayal from my mate always reminded me of the fool I was to ever trust a traitor’s daughter.

“Alpha, you have to see this report.”

My beta, Alex’s voice forced me to come back into the present and I tore my gaze from the sky to glance at him.

“What kind of report is this?” I asked turning to face him.

“The reports on the last three months’ expenditure on the pack. I think we need to cut the budget or you have to adjust from your own money.” He said showing me the statics.

I glanced at the balance sheet and my headache grew. Since last week, I wasn’t able to handle my work on my own. Gemma used to do most of the work, it was her job and I must say that I didn’t have to worry about the finances and the internal administration for last three years.

“We never had this problem before then what happened now?” I asked him with a frown.

He lowered his head.

“We don’t know. For last three years Luna Gemma had been handling the finances with meagre income and also managed to save for the emergency. The new accountants are struggling to divide the expanses and the same situation is of other things as well.” He answered.

I rubbed my forehead.

Again Gemma.

“Alight, I will check it tonight and see what we can do and fire those useless people who can’t manage the budget.” I yelled in frustration.

“But they are not wrong…” He tried to say but I glared him.

“Send your father here. I need to have a word with him.” I ordered him.

“I am sorry, Alpha but he isn’t available at the pack currently. He has gone for some work. He didn’t tell me anything about it.” He replied.

It made me frown. Why everything was slipping from my hands? I am losing control over my pack and my people.

“Whenever he returns, tell him to meet me and also send more men to other packs. We need to earn support from most of the packs against Yellow Mist Pack. Alpha Axel is a vile man and I am sure he is up to something.” I instructed him.

“Okay, Alpha.” He said. I saw hesitation on his face.

“We checked the woods again and also talked to the nearby packs. There’s no news on her. Luna’s body was also not found. Either’s it’s eaten by the wild animals or she might have fled very far but in her condition, the first possibility is stronger.” He said.

My heart clenched inside my chest. No matter how much I claim to hate her and disgust her for her betrayal. She was carrying another man’s child. I had given her the title of my Luna. The God had cursed me by giving me a traitor’s blood as a mate but I accepted her and stayed loyal in our relationship but she stabbed my trust brutally.

I didn’t kill her when she deserved it because she had contributed a lot in the growth of our pack. I can’t ignore it but I wish she was an ideal mate. Her child died in her womb as former beta told me but it pained me for no reason.

Her own mother confirmed her crimes.

“Stop the search. I don’t want to do anything with her. She is a closed chapter of my life. You may take your leave now.” I ignored the uneasiness of my wolf.

He nodded and left my office. Loneliness again started haunting me. I lived my life in closed shell. I keep my life private and closed ever since my father died. It was a huge blow for me and my mother. We never recovered from the loss. Those bastards of Yellow Mist Pack killed him.

The house smells like her. Every single corner has her memories. We hardly used to talk, mostly on pack related matters. I used to get intimate with her just for my wolf who needed his mate. It was purely physical needs but the bed feels cold without her.

I don’t recall sleeping in my bedroom ever since the incident happened. I spent most of my time in my office.

There was another knock on the door. I didn’t want to see anyone but I smelled my mother’s scent. A moment later, she walked into the room.

“Why are you punishing yourself like this, Adonis? Ever since that bitch has gone, you are not yourself anymore and it makes me worried.” She said with so much hatred for Gemma.

My mother never liked her. Gemma’s family is the reason of my father’s death. Her father sold his loyalty to the enemies and tricked my father to face those wolves alone. It resulted in his death, right in front of my eyes.

“Mom, I am busy in my work. Trust me, she isn’t in my mind.” I tried to assure her but I guess she could catch my lies.

“Then why are you searching her everywhere? She is dead for god’s sake.” She sneered and my wolf, growled in annoyance.

“It is necessary to find her if she is alive, Mom. You know that she is still my mate. I haven’t rejected her and she still holds the position of my Luna.” I gave her a logical reason and she scoffed.

“Does it really matter now? She betrayed you by sleeping with another man and got pregnant for her lover. You still think that she still deserves to be called your Luna? Get over her and find a fated mate. We need an heir, your son for the pack’s future.” She said in a dominating tone.

I don’t care for her continuous demand for an heir. I have a lot on my platter ever since Gemma had been banished.

“I am not ready for this, Mom. My wolf needs a closure.” I said in a decisive tone.

“Adonis, forget her and start a new life with someone who deserves to be called your Luna.” She said.

“She was the best warrior and had the sharpest mind in the pack, Mom.” I reminded her.

“Not above Seline. She is more beautiful, smart, young and have the beta blood. I think she can be the perfect Luna for you.” She said with a shine in her eyes.

 I was shocked to hear this from her because this thought would never occur to me.

    [ Adonis ]“Adonis, do you have any idea how Alpha Garrick and his family would feel, especially Hailey? You left the party abruptly.” My mother ran after me as soon as I returned to my pack with a restless mind.Gemma’s tears, her words and her revelations torn me. Why was I too blind to see it earlier? The truth might be in front of me but I failed to see it because my ego and anger blinded me.“Adonis, I am asking you a question. For God’s sake answer me.” My mother shouted behind me.I halted in my tracks and clenched my fists. I had an increasing headache and she was only adding to it.“Mom, I want to be alone for some time. Please, allow me to go back to my room.” I said calmly.She stood in front of me and crossed her arms with a pointed look.“Adonis, I received a call from Alpha Garrick and I learnt some disturbing news from him.” I said.My mind got alarmed. Was she referring to Gemma?I should have sensed it coming.“What are you talking about, Mom?” I pretended to be cluel

    [ Gemma ]“I, Gemma Pristley, rejec-”I was done with this despicable man standing in front of me and about to reject him for good but he placed his palm over my mouth to prevent me from rejecting him.“Don’t even try, Gemma. I am not going to accept your rejection and you know how badly it can affect us. We’re Alpha and Luna, it’d nearly kill us since our bond is the strongest than others.” He said.His scent mixed in his expensive perfume invaded my senses. After the ages, we were standing this close to each other and it was affecting me in a sinner way.It didn’t feel right yet it wasn’t wrong.“Back off!”I flinched back as soon as I remembered what I was about to do and he stopped me because it could make him weak.“I am sorry, Gemma. I didn’t mean to invade your personal space but what you were about to do, it wasn’t right. We have to end this bond mutually.” He said in a low voice.I laughed dryly on his words.“Do you even hear your own words, Adonis?” I shook my head and laug

I really wanted this birthday to be special and here you are.” Hailey, Alpha Garrick’s daughter didn’t stop speaking for a second since I arrived at the party.My headache was growing.

    [ Gemma ]“Rowan, this is not fair. I don’t think we can live like this. We haven’t talked to each other properly in last two days. You didn’t talk to me actually.” I said as my patience ran thin with Rowan.“We’re talking.” He responded flatly and I sighed in frustration.He shut me like this for last two days.He had been giving me cold shoulder ever since I agreed to attend the party at Crystal Pack. I had my reasons.He was walking beside me with a blank face. We had reached at the Crystal Pack. I had thought about it a lot and realized that Micheala was right. Danger will follow me everywhere, my whole life would be spent running and hiding.I’d not wish this life for my baby. I wanted him be born in a normal atmosphere and as long as I had Rowan’s back, hoped that he’d shield me until I will be ready to fight my own battles.I took a deep breath as my palms got sweaty due to nervousness. For the world, I died a traitor’s death but tonight, I was going to face all of them again.

    [ Gemma ]“How is our little boy doing?” Micheala asked me placing her hand on my belly but I quickly removed her hand.“Shh, we’re surrounded by many people. What if they saw you?” I eyed her looking around in the library where I was working.I took a desk job intentionally as physical training might harm my baby. Rowan was the one to request Alpha Axel to allow me to do the job which I did better which was a lie.I was trained in combat and also war skills.To prove myself a worthy mate and luna for Adonis, I did everything, learnt everything to please him and make him proud of me but it was an oblivious world for me.He never wanted me in the first place.“Are you thinking about him again, Gem?” Micheala, who took her seat in front me, raised her brow at me.“No, I am not. Why would I think about him?” I looked away from her and lied.“Come on, you suck at lying. I know you think about him all the time. Does he worth it? He must be living his best life since you are no longer his m
