MY CRUEL HUSBAND
BLURB:
“I love you, Micheal.” My voice echoes through the living room begging him to accept me with the unborn child, hoping my husband who has recently become cold toward me will consider my condition.
He stood there with his face, cold and tinged with contempt, fixing his gaze to the screen.
He said, “I never wanted a child with you. Raise it alone—or don’t.”
My heart skipped a beat. Tears began to well down my cheeks.

Chapter: CHAPTER 40
FROM COLLAPSE TO CONNECTION Anne's POV The ambulance finally arrived, its piercing siren slicing through the air and faintly reaching my dull, fading ears. I could barely make out the commotion around me—the hurried footsteps, the scrape of the stretcher wheels, and the anxious voices calling out instructions. “Handle her carefully,” I heard one of those people approaching me to place me on the stretcher. My body felt weightless, my vision blurry, and all I could see were flashes of red and white lights flickering above me as I drifted in and out of consciousness.When they lifted me into the ambulance, the world around me felt distant and strange — a blur of motion, sound, and fading color. I could hear muffled voices shouting commands, the hum of the engine, and the rhythmic beeping of a machine beside me. My body felt cold, my limbs heavy and unresponsive. Every breath I took was a struggle, and the edges of my vision dimmed like a curtain slowly closing.“Stay with us, miss! W

Chapter: CHAPTER 40
A SUDDEN COLLAPSEAnne's POVThe next morning, after a long night of little sleep, I made a decision that I was going to get myself busy with work, not having in mind any relationship from any man.I stood before the small mirror in Eva’s guest room, brushing my hair and staring at the face that looked back — pale, tired, but resolute. I had lost love, trust, and peace, but not myself. Not entirely.That afternoon, I set out to find work.The sun was bright but not kind; its heat clung to my skin as I walked from one street to another. My shoes gathered dust, and my body ached, but I refused to give up. I entered a few stores, asked politely, waited for replies — mostly rejections.Then, at the corner of Maple Street, I saw a small restaurant with a handwritten sign that read “Now hiring-waitress.”I paused, staring at it for a long moment.Taking a deep breath, I stepped inside. The air smelled of freshly cooked food — warm, homely, alive. Behind the counter, a woman in her forties w

Chapter: CHAPTER 38I LEFT THEM Anne's POV “I am done!” I yelled, my voice breaking with sorrow but quite strong as I advanced toward the road to take a taxi. Eleanor who had been lamenting and sobbing profusely kept calling and begging me. “You can't just leave me alone like that, Anne.” I will not change my mind to walk out on falsehood friends and ex-boyfriend who I was about to give another chance for love but turned out to be deceiving me. I can't do that anymore. “No!” I finally said, as I sank into the leather chair inside the commercial car. The driver sped off. I have said no to her, and her belongings and not just the apartment, but the version of me that still believed in second chances. I reminded myself that I might not believe in love again as I was staring at the rearview mirror, tears streaming down my cheeks. Within a few minutes, I had been soaked and wracked with tears. I don't know where I am even heading to. I just boarded the vehicles and told him to drive straight o

Chapter: CHAPTER 37WALK OUT AGAIN. Anne's POV After days of uncertainty, of replaying his words and my hesitation, I had finally decided to stop fighting what I felt. Maybe he really means it this time, I told myself. Maybe he’s truly changed. The corners of my lips lifted slightly as I imagined his reaction when I’d tell him yes. I could already hear Eleanor teasing me when I got home, could see her smile when I’d admit that I’d finally agreed to give Crystal a chance. Everything was going to make sense now. Everything would fall into place. Or so I thought. The moment I reached his door, I hesitated — something in the air felt… strange. I could hear faint movement, muffled voices, and a soft laugh. I frowned. My fingers hovered over the doorknob. Maybe I should knock. The sound became clearer to me each second. I could hear the moaning of a lady. I grew nervous, and pushed the door open. My eyes widened with shock when I saw them having sexual intercourse on the bed. Crystal was serious

ANOTHER BETRAYAL.Eleanor POV The surprise came unexpectedly to her. Her mouth opened unintentionally, and within a few seconds she lost appetite to eat the remaining portion of her food. A heavy silence followed her sudden outburst. “You’ll leave me alone in this house tonight?” She asked me, her voice trembling under the weight of her fright.Her hands flew to cover her mouth. I'm very sure the short minutes seem like a dream to her, the one she hasn't woken up from all this while. I gave her a quick, calm and relaxed expression to calm her troubled soul. “It will only happen once, tonight only.” She shook her head, clearly displeased. “I’m not comfortable with that,” she said firmly, her tone edged with irritation. “But I’ll manage since it’s just for tonight. I hope this doesn’t happen again?”I shook my head firmly. “It won't happen again.” I whispered with assurance and confidence.I left when evening came and went straight to Crystal house. I met him at home. I slammed her

IMMINENT BETRAYAL.Eleanor POV.I burst into laughter barely a moment before the pain relieved me. I bent slightly as my laughter echoed through the kitchen. I stood there, half-angry, half-amused.“You think you’re funny?” I said, trying to hide my own smile.“Worked, didn’t it?” I faintly heard Anne's voice and chuckled. I wiped tears of laughter from my eyes.I shook my head, finally smiling. “You’ll still tell me about Crystal,” I said firmly, wagging my finger.I laughed again, but deep down, my words stirred something she was trying hard to hide.The pain finally declined and turned off the cooker. I initially followed her, dashed out of the kitchen to confront her tricks and the effects on my trembling fingers. “Anne!” I yelled, my voice thundering across the room, oozing urgency and confrontation. I quickly stepped forward, and I found her, turning her back to me, with the remote control on her hand flipping through multiple channels to watch movies.“Eleanor, I'm busy as you

Chapter: Chapter 6RejectedLena’s POVTears gathered at the corners of my eyes as I watched the others around me find their mates, one after the other. The joy on their faces only deepened the ache in my chest.Why hasn’t anyone come to me?For a moment, I truly believed I was the only one left unchosen. Then it happened. A ripple of light shimmered from the blood-red moon, and an image formed on its glowing surface, his face.Kade. I gasped. It was real.The Mate Bond wasn’t just a fantasy. It wasn’t something I had imagined or desperately hoped into existence. The moon had spoken and it had spoken his name.Kade Marlowe was my destined mate.My heart surged in my chest as I frantically searched the crowd, expecting to see him coming toward me. Surely, he must have seen it too. He must have felt the same magnetic pull, the same overwhelming gravity I did.But he didn’t come. Instead, I saw him. Across the clearing, near the ceremonial stones, Kade stood beside a brown-furred wolf. He leaned down and n

Chapter: Chapter 5The Night of the Red MoonLena’s POVThis evening it was going to happen. The one night I had been waiting for as far back as anyone could remember.The Red Moon was heavy in the sky, a dull, and silvery moon, for now but I knew it wouldn’t stay that way. Soon it would glow crimson, and everything would change.Maybe… so would I.I looked up in the mirror teasing out the silk red material of my dress. All the she-wolves that are un-mated in our pack wear red to pay their honour to the goddess and offer themselves to fate. It was our way of saying: Here I am. I'm ready.And I was. I had never ever been more all set.I dressed my hair down with my natural being a waterfall around my shoulders. A bit of makeup, just enough to make my dark eyes and deep red lips shine. Not for attention. Not for the boys in the pack. I did it for me. And for him, whoever he was.At one time, I believed it would be Kade.But after the past few weeks… after that kiss with Camilla, after that cruel dare. I d

Chapter: Chapter 4The DareLena’s POVI did not know how to breathe for a moment.This was what Kade had said to me; and it rang in my ears like a bell in the empty house, “I love you.’ My heart didn’t know how to believe it. My body stood still, waiting for the truth to shift, waiting for the moment to break or bloom.“What… what are you saying, Kade?” I asked, blinking hard, afraid I had imagined it.He leaned closer. “Lena, please. Just tell me you love me too.”He even lowered his voice, as he did not want anyone to listen.My lips opened and I could not hold the words back, too much, too right. “Yes. Kade, I love you. I always have.”He smiled gently. We both nodded, like we were sealing a promise in silence. But inside, something didn’t feel right. It was strange. I’d waited so long for this moment, imagined it, begged the stars for it and now that it was here… it didn’t feel warm. It felt like standing in a dream with one foot sinking into cold water.Yes, I tried to set my doubts aside. I put o

Chapter: Chapter 3Bruised, Not BrokenLena’s POV“Well,” someone said, in the hall, as though they had seen a ghost appear, "Look who has come.”I kept my eyes forward. I’d learned not to respond not because I was weak, but because it gave them power. My silence was my shield. I hurried on faster, clutching my bag almost against my side, wishing I could turn invisible.In these halls, every day was the same. It is the same-you know, the same whispers, the same laughter behind my back. I was sick of faking being okay though faking it just allowed them to treat it like they could keep doing as they wish. So it was easier to cry behind the hall.“Little Luna, why are you rushing away?" Rigg Torres came between me and put himself in front of me. His conceited face smiled in scornful exultation.“What is it you want?” I said flatly, not bothering to fake patience.I could not stand his antics. I was already late to attend the class and the last thing I wanted was to go through another waste of time meeting

Chapter: Chapter 2The Missing HalfLena’s POV“Oh, hi Kade,” I said, my voice soft, my cheeks warm.He smiled. “I think someone’s thoughts got too heavy, and that’s why you tripped.”His voice always sounded kind. His tone made people feel calm, safe. He used to be the most considerate boy anybody ever knew.I convinced myself that the reason was only him being polite and he treated everybody in that manner but my heart would not. It fluttered the way it always did when he smiled like that, so open and gentle.“Umm no…I am okay? I replied, not sure to what I was replying at all. I understood that I was daydreaming again and it occurred too frequently being around him.We’d known each other since we were little. In kindergarten, we were inseparable. But as we grew up, he drifted away, busy with leadership training and pack duties, while I stayed where I was waiting.And still, I remembered everything.“When we grow up, Lena, we’ll be Mates,” he’d said once while building a sandcastle with me during rece

Chapter: Chapter 1A Life Full of ShadowsLena’s POV“Lena, get up!” A quick blast of cold water splashed in my face and I blinked and felt a shiver of the coldness going through my bones. My attention had caught who it was. I didn’t need to open my eyes to recognize that sharp voice. It was my mother. Again.I moaned, and intended to roll over, but the blanket had been torn already off of me. There was a cold breeze coming through the window in the kitchen and I cowered.“Up. Now. You mustn't make me say so again,” she snapped her steps screeching along the walk.This was my every morning. My name is Lena Maren Wilder, and I live in a house where I am invisible unless there’s work to be done.I wanted to sleep longer. Last night’s pack patrol had run until nearly 4 a.m., and I was still aching from the run through the mountain woods. But none of that mattered to my mom. She said it didn’t matter if I was a shifter or not, I was still a girl, and a girl should not sleep past eight. She said I’d brought
