Betrayed Luna's Second Chance Alpha

“Lucian, who is she?!” I asked my husband, my eyes fixed on the pregnant woman beside him.

“She is a surrogate?!” He replied casually.

“What?! Surrogate?! You mean she is carrying your child?!” I confirmed.

“Yeah, since you failed to give me, something needs to be done.”

“And you went ahead with this… Without discussing it with me?!”

“I’m Alpha, Selene. I don’t need anyone’s permission.”

He wrapped his arm around the surrogate’s shoulder and led her inside the house.

“I gave you five years to provide an heir to the crystal blood moon pack, but you failed.”

“Failed?!” I stared at him in disbelief. “Is that how you see me now?!”

He made the surrogate sit on the couch and poured a glass of water from the dining table.

“Not only me, but the entire pack sees you that way. You failed everyone.”

He walked back to the surrogate and handed over the glass to her.

“Thank you so much,” The surrogate said, giving him a tender smile.

“I don’t care about others, Lucian. I care about what you think?”

“Then I already gave you the answer, Selene.” He replied with furrowed eyes.

“Anyways, have you baked the cake? I could smell.” He sniffed, closing his eyes.

“Please, get a piece for Astra. She has been craving cakes and ice-creams lately.” He loosened his tie and settled down in front of the TV.

“Are you fucking serious?! Here, you are tearing me apart, and all you care about are her cravings? I yelled in rage.

“Because he loves his child and he wants to do everything to keep the mother of his child happy.” The surrogate intervened, gazing at Lucian.

“See, this is the level of understanding I expected from you, Selene, but anyways–” Lucian remarked.

Lucian locked his eyes with the surrogate, and they shared a warm smile.

Suspicion crept within me, and I alternated my eyes between them.

“Is this really just a surrogacy, Lucian or something more than that? Did you fuck her?”

He rolled his eyes and turned his gaze to you, which is now icy.

“It doesn’t matter how the child comes. What matters is that I’ll finally have an heir.”

“That didn’t answer my question, Lucian?” I snapped. “Did you fuck her or not?! Yes or No!

“Don’t test my patience, Selene. I already said it doesn’t matter.”

“By the way, Astra is a kindergarten teacher—she loves children.” He averted his gaze back to the surrogate with an affection in his eyes.

“That’s why she agreed to this. You should be thanking her instead of making a fuss about it.”

“Wow, my husband is bringing a woman with his child in her, and you call it a fuss?

I stared at him, my anger surging at the speed of a rocket. I grabbed the cake and smashed it onto Lucian’s face.

“Then here I go, Mr Lucian!” I shouted. “Making a bigger fuss.”

“What the fuck, you bitch?!” Lucian roared, standing up off the sofa.

“What the fuck, Lucian. You think I'm a servant and that I would serve her cake.” I retorted.

“If she craves cake, take your ass to the market and buy it yourself!”

He cleared the frosting from his face and, without warning, grabbed my neck before shoving me against the wall.

“Stop this drama,” he growled.

I tried to push him only to feel his grip getting tighter.

“Lucian, please, no. Leave her and give her time to understand your decision.” Astra butted in.

“Do you see the difference, Selene?”

“You should be grateful I haven’t stripped you of your title as a Luna. Otherwise, you’re nothing to me now, Selene—You are useless. So fucking stay in your limit.”

He loosened the grip around my neck and walked away.

“Come on, Astra.” He ordered.

I coughed while tears trickled down my face.

Useless?! Was that all I was to him now? A child-bearing tool that had failed its purpose, and so should be discarded.

I watched him with pain while the surrogate looked at you with a smug smile.

“Good night, Selene. It was nice meeting you.” She said in a honeyed tone.

“I hope you will understand your husband.”

She followed Lucian up the stairs, and I had no option but to watch them helplessly.

Soon, they disappeared into the room and closed the door behind them.

Now, he is even gonna sleep with her?

My anger shot up again, and I couldn’t help but follow them and bang hard on the door.

“Lucian, open the door!!” I barked. “We are not done yet!”

“If she is just a surrogate then what the hell are you doing in her room?”

When he didn’t open, I banged on the door harder.

A moment later, the door creaked open, and Lucian appeared, infuriated.

“What the hell is wrong with you? Have you forgotten all your manners?” He snapped.

“Manners? You want to talk about my manners? Seriously?!” I shot back.

“What about your ethics, Lucian? What about the vows you took with me? Have you forgotten those?”

“Selene,” he barked, his jaw convulsed, his tone a warning.

“I’m your Alpha. Mind your tone, the consequences would not be nice.”
