She looks like me

While butler was helping me to gather my things, I put off the eye lens. My natural eyes that I had been hiding since I was a kid finally got exposed in front of the butler.

A soft gasped echoed in the room. I turned towards Butler's direction when Butler approached me a bit closely.

" Miss. Are those your real eyes?" He sounded like he saw something unimaginable. His mouth was opened with mixed emotions.

My face turned pale. Usually I didn't let anyone see my eyes. They're the rarest. Usually Blue, Golden and Brown eyes are common here.

Alessandro's eye color was magical. When his color changed like the season. His eyes stayed brownish golden when he was calm. But when he got excited or angry, his eyes turned Golden like a Burning flame.

" Oh! Yeah. Are they weird? Sorry. I got it from my mother. A drop of blue in the center of silver eyes. I don't like them actually!" I chuckled while checking my eyes. Those eyes that made my life hell.

I put the dark brown lenses on my eyes before smiling... " I used to be bullied because of my eyes and me being a human. So I don't keep those eyes exposed!"

Butler's fingers shook when he slowly asked, " Does Master know about those eyes?" He asked, staring at my eyes profoundly.

" No. I am not allowed to put the blue eye lenses off in front of him. Though I think he will be rather disgusted by my eyes!"

" N-No! You may... I mean... You should show him-"

" It's not in the contract!" I cut him off. My voice was cold.

I forced a smile but my smile didn't reach my eyes, and it made him shut his mouth.

" And I would prefer if you keep it yourself instead of saying anything. My eyes shouldn't be anyone's concern, right?"

Carl's eyes widened. However there was a flicker of hesitation and some emotions that I couldn't identify. But it was sure that he was shaken by my eyes.

It was weird. Why would I tell Alessandro about my real eyes? Especially those eyes that never stopped bringing bad luck in my life.

I kept gathering a few things like my skincare products and a few clothes to scrape by. Butler seemed to have become eerily silently for a while.

Then,

" What will you do after the divorce?" Butler asked, his voice was gentler than usual. But there was hesitation in his tone. For some reason he looked anxious.

But his question felt like a knife twisting in my heart. We had finally arrived at the end of this contract marriage. And it felt like drowning in an ocean of ice water.

The marriage... Maybe Alessandro didn't hold any value for this relationship in his mind but it was my first marriage and first time falling in love. So the word Divorce felt like someone tearing my heart apart from my body.

" Well, Mr Alessandro has given me enough to scrape by for a while. Also I have been thinking about leaving the Packs and heading to the human world. Now I got money. So I want to live where I belong!"

" But you are truly not a human, are you? Your Wolf can appear anytime!" He asked in concern. But I was a human not even an Omega. That was a reason for everything, right?

" That's possible. But I am already 25 years old. I don't even consider myself a late boomer! Not even an Omega" I chuckled, grabbing the suitcase. " Also nothing would change even if my Wolf returns!"

He looked surprised but nodded with agreement. " You are strong enough to have a Beta Wolf, Miss. I don't think you will be an Omega!"

" Neither is suitable for me. Human is fine. I have embraced my life with my own identity!" I smiled assuringly.

At least Omegas can fight with their wolves. Humans don't even have a Wolf. Since I didn't even manifest after I turned 18, I was announced as Human. I wasn't allowed to meet the Moon Goddess who regularly appeared in every New Moon, brightening the dark sky. She would offer her blessing to everyone.

And she never came to me. Maybe I wasn't a favorite of her like her other children.

That was why maybe I didn't find my mate or my Wolf.

" I see. Anyway, Nova will attend as your personal servant and will accompany you to the penthouse for three weeks. Master may visit you. So please keep it in mind that the contract will be nullified the moment you sign the divorce papers. Till then, your job is to pretend as his wife and obey his words like usual!" His eyes filled with sadness as he announced like a broken radio.

I chuckled hearing his shaky words. " Don't be sad, Butler Uncle. The first thing you should concentrate on is your Master's happiness. Now I can leave the place and live a life as my own. Not someone else!"

" I am sorry, Madam!"

Madam? My eyes widened when he called me that. Alessandro had forbidden everyone to call me Madam. Only Evelyn, the truth wife had that right to be called Madam.

When I came here for the first time, they called me Madam and Alessandro got so angry that he punished them by cancelling their long weekend trip.

So they never called me anything.

" Thank you!" I muttered... " But I don't deserve such a heavy title." I grabbed my suitcase and walked towards the door. " Stay healthy. We might cross the road soon!"

I smiled, opening the door. Although it felt so heavy to move away from the house I spent three years, I knew that it was foreseeable the moment I signed my name on the contract.

But my eyes widened when I noticed Alessandro standing behind the door and holding his hand, Evelyn was staring at me with a smile.

Alessandro's face was dark as if he was hating himself standing before me. But Evelyn, she looked unbothered... No, kinda amused.

" So she is your wife, Alessandro! She looks like me!" Her voice was light as feathers but heavy with a condescending tone.

  • Escaping From My Ruthless Husband   Forgive them

    Alessandro,Next afternoon, I stood at the front steps of the packhouse, blood still roaring in my ears, the sound of my own voice echoing in the hollow space of my chest. “She’s pregnant,” I had said. “She’s not just my mate—she’s the Luna of this territory. And if anyone lays a single finger on her, their entire bloodline will be banished. Do you hear me? Their children. Their siblings. Everyone.” That was how far I was willing to go. I needed that woman to spill everything out with the fear. It was late afternoon now, but I didn’t feel the sun or hear the birds. My thoughts were back in that cold, blinking screen where I saw Mauve—my Mauve—being carried away like she was nothing. Limp. Helpless. And I had done nothing. But when I went around the woods, why I couldn't feel it. What happened to her? I clenched my fists. I was going to bring her back. No matter what it cost. The guards were sweeping the forests in every direction. The scouts were circling the outskirts. Shadow

  • Escaping From My Ruthless Husband   I am sorry

    Mauve, My mouth was dry. The air in the small storage room felt tighter than before—like the walls were inching closer, swallowing the oxygen bit by bit. The thin blanket they had given me was soaked in sweat. My skin stuck to it, hot and clammy. I didn’t know if I was shaking from the Moon Wolf’s exhaustion or my body trying to keep up with the life growing inside me. “Here—try a sip.” A small, chipped cup touched my lips. I sipped, but it was just water. Warm. Flat. My stomach turned. “I’m sorry,” said the younger servant girl—Rea, I think her name was. “We couldn’t find anything else. They’ve closed all the shops. Guards are patrolling. Nobody’s allowed to buy in bulk without ID.” Her hands trembled as she pulled the cup back. “They know,” I whispered. Rea didn’t answer. She just looked down, guilt written all over her face. “I told you he’d come for me,” I said softly. “Alessandro’s probably tearing the earth open right now. Maybe we can just go home and take time. I prom

  • Escaping From My Ruthless Husband   She is everything

    Alessandro, Cosette wasn’t in her quarters. She wasn't even in the Packhouse. My guards went to Lunar oracle when she said she was blessed. She wasn’t in the infirmary. Not in the greenhouse, not with the other healers, and definitely not anywhere she was supposed to be. The moment I saw the last corridor clear, something inside me snapped. She had vanished the same day Mauve was taken. Coincidence? No. I didn’t believe in those anymore. Theo and two shadow guards trailed behind me as I stormed toward the south tower, where the guest chambers were rarely used unless I had foreign visitors or nobles too entitled to sleep in common rooms. Cosette had requested one weeks ago. Said she needed quiet to “regain her focus.” I should’ve looked closer. Should’ve interrogated her the moment we found the files and her involvement in dark magic. Mauve warned me about her. I should have listened to my woman. Pathetic! My boots struck the marble hard. The light above flickered as

  • Escaping From My Ruthless Husband   In the woods

    Mauve, The room was dim, but not cold. Someone had moved a few lanterns and candles closer, and the scent of herbs hung faintly in the air. My eyes fluttered open, and I winced at the dull ache that crept through my limbs. My body felt like it had been wrung dry. I turned my head and found the five women again. All dressed in simple servant clothes. Their faces were drawn with worry, but this time, a hint of relief broke through. “Don’t try to move too quickly,” said the oldest woman gently. Her hair was tied back, strands of gray peeking through. “You’ve been out for hours. I prepared some bread” I sat up slowly, nausea twisting in my gut. ” Where are we actually?” I looked around. Not even a single ray entering the place. “Old stable house,” one of them said without hiding the truth, glancing toward the boarded window. “We used to clean it every week. Nobody checks it anymore.” “You took me,” I said, my voice hoarse. Her baby made a soft sound, rooting toward her chest

  • Escaping From My Ruthless Husband   Find her at any cost

    Alessandro, The sun had begun its descent when I stepped out of the briefing room, the weight of a dozen silent decisions resting on my shoulders. My men—my shadow guards—had done their job well. They mapped out trails of dark magic laced through abandoned villages, intercepted two suspicious supply routes, and identified five individuals whose names were never meant to reach the surface. All connected to Evelyn. All breathing my air. I should’ve felt satisfied. Instead, I felt… an ache. Like I’d forgotten something important. I rubbed the back of my neck as I exited the building, my thoughts veering elsewhere. Mauve, I wondered how she was feeling right now. Each day she looked exhausted but determined. The meeting had run longer than expected, and I hadn’t seen her since the early morning. She’d been sleeping when I left—curled against the pillows with one hand resting protectively over her stomach. She always looked peaceful like that, but lately… she looked tired too. Draine

  • Escaping From My Ruthless Husband   Kidnapped

    Mauve, The last person I healed had been a child—barely twelve or thirteen. Her little body had trembled with fever, her eyes glassy and unfocused as her mother held her tight, begging through tears. I remembered kneeling on the floor, my hands pressed gently over the girl’s chest. My wolf, Neva, had risen at once. The familiar silver warmth bloomed through me like moonlight, flooding the child’s body. And when it was over—when the girl opened her eyes and reached for her mother’s face—I thought I could rest. Sometimes I got some vision from the patients but they weren't something harmful. Just a slightest warning could help them. However, the little girl was the last person who I could treat for the day. The highest I could help was four people. I couldn't deny my own needs and strength especially with my baby inside. Thankfully they weren't pushy. Everyone like doctor appointment presented themselves in the dungeon everyday. After returning home, I noticed the girls
