Elena's POVHow come Michael never mentioned it? Not even once. I instantly berated myself for just rushing down here without a solid plan.If they were cousins, that meant Alpha Horace might not even believe what I really came here to reveal.He spoke again."Seems like you didn't tell your wife that you and the Alpha were second generation cousins.""Yeah, well. I didn't think she needed to know that the late Luna was my mom's cousin." Michael said tersely."But you thought your mistress needed to know that my son has liver cancer?"There was no missing the edge to Alpha Horace's voice and it made me wonder if he really had a good relationship with Michael.On the other side, a muscle twitched on Elena's forehead in obvious anger at Alpha Horace's words."You seem acquainted with my wife which is a surprise." Michael broke the tension."Well, that's because she's my girlfriend." Alpha Horace's reply came too quickly.The silence that followed was almost deafening. Michael and Elena

Elena's POVThe shock that played across Michael's face was priceless. Not to mention his parents and Ashanti.They had their my jaws almost dropping to the ground.Sure, they hadn't seen that coming. They had expected me to act like the calm and weak housewife I've always been and accept every shit they threw my way.Something icy and new flickered in Michael's gaze."What the hell did you just say?" He rasped as he approached me.I stood my ground, refusing to buckle or show any signs of the fear that ran through me."You heard me correctly. I'm done with this hellhole you call marriage!" I spat."You've got to be kidding me, Elena!" His face was tomato red when he reached me."This isn't an issue of divorce. I've always wanted kids and you know it. This isn't going to change anything between us. It's only a temporary arrangement.""We could have an open marriage for two years so I can spend some time with Ashanti because of the baby, of course. Then, everything could go back to nor

Elena's POVI didn't even answer him as I quickly turned on my heels and bolted out of the living room.I was too disoriented to drive so I trekked down to the road, crossing the intersection without a second thought.I didn't even see the car speeding towards me until it was too late. And just when I thought it would crush me to the road, I felt a strong pair of arms on my waist.The next thing I knew was that I was floating in air, pressed tightly against a rockhard wall of chest.The man's sandalwood scent intoxicated my senses mercilessly, momentarily numbing the pain in my stomach."Are you okay?" His rich baritone voice drifted into my ears, his breath searing my skin.I lifted my head to look at his face before answering but that moment, the pain in my stomach returned and I let out a shrill cry as I felt my world crumble.The next time I came to again, it was morning and I was in the pack's hospital ward. My head ached so bad as I sat up on the bed.The details of everything t

Elena's POV"What the hell do you mean by Ashanti is moving in?"My voice trembled as I stared in horror at my husband, Michael, and his supposed best friend, Ashanti, busy setting the dining table with different dishes.I had just come back from antenatal check-up at the pack's hospital, and the last thing I had expected to see was Ashanti running in and out of my house like she owned the place."Elena, calm down. Will you?" Michael's voice broke into my head.His voice was so calm, so smooth, so not like someone who had left his pregnant wife for five days without so much as a "bye," only to come back home with another woman.Now, clearly I could tell he'd been spending all that time with Ashanti. How could he be so cruel?I started to speak, but his voice rose over mine."You shouldn't act this way when you've not even seen Ashanti in like two years. She's been battling cancer all this while and just came back to the pack to recover completely.""Can't you be a bit nicer?" he finis
