Isabella’s pov

I opened my eyes and I was well tucked in my bed in the clothes I wore last night with no memories of how I got home.

All my life I had always pictured myself as a heavy drinker but that’s wrong, I had my first drink yesterday and I blackout after one glass.  So many questions popped into my mind but who could I possibly ask? 

Ah, Connor.  The chances of meeting him are so slim besides we agreed to stay as strangers. I am a married woman, I should not be messing around with another man even if my husband was fooling, I wouldn't use my body to get back at him.

‘What if you fall in love with someone else, would you leave your husband for him?’ My wolf asked.

‘Falling in love with another man after Zayn?’ Connor’s face falsed in my head. ‘Nahh, I must be out of my mind then.’

It was way past my breakfast time, I hopped out of my bed feeling better than I did yesterday. I thought the alcohol was going to give me a serious hangover, surprisingly I’m good.

I freshened up and made my way straight to the office so I could finish my work from yesterday.   As I got into the main hallway, my ears were filled with loud moaning from Zayn’s room. His and his mistress must have it easy since they had me busting my ass building the pack’s wealth so my husband can have a lot of time for them.

My mood went from a 100 to a 0, what a way to ruin my morning. I hurried into the office, thankfully, I couldn’t hear them from there.

I revised a few of the paperwork the Beta had done in my place and focused on the one he couldn’t handle. 

Zayn strode in freely like he had no worries in the world, his smile was big and hearty while I was sitting here rotting with heartache.

“Where did you go yesterday?” He demanded which made me laugh to myself.

“I didn’t know you’d have time to notice my absence. I see that your baby making mission only started this morning.” I mocked him. “You should work overtime to make very healthy pups for yours and keep your focus on that, not me.”

“Do not take your anger and jealousy out on me and Gina. I’m still your husband and your Alpha. Mind the way you speak to me.”

“It is not my fault you went about eavesdropping on me and Gina this morning. If you were in your place, you wouldn’t have been disturbed by us.

I scoffed, “Eavesdropping? I’d rather engage myself in watching forbidden movies than to do that.” His face fell into a frown and that satisfied me to an extent.

I just wished he channeled the energy he expended on getting me mad and attempting to break me, into the pack’s work.

“I want to have pups of my own, My Alpha.” I said out of nowhere.

Joan!

My wolf synced that up with my head,  i know she is trying to prove a point, i better keep up with it.

“I’m sorry I would not be able to give them to you. Gina’s children with me do not need to go through sibling rivalry as I will not be able to love your pups at all.”

“Your response is just as I thought my Alpha. I don’t mind your inability to give me pups. I just want to let you know that I will be stepping out to seek a means of getting my own pups.”

He flared up, “you intend to cheat on me?”

Now, I’m the cheat.

“Do you intend on making me the laughing stock of the pack!”

“Laughing stock? You probably misunderstood my words, I am merely looking to make my own babies with another man. Is there a problem with that, my Alpha?”

“I forbid you from doing that. You dare not.”

“I’m afraid I will have to file a divorce, My Alpha. According to our pack’s guidelines, I’m allowed to divorce you.”

“But it’s not possible, the Alpha’s wife cannot divorce him.”

“That is if she is the Luna of the pack. Today, I am grateful that you have not given me that title. I will send a word to my father about the divorce and we shall start the proceedings.”

“The pack members will have better things to laugh about now.” I added, to rile him up.

Seeing him walk through the door and still try to play on my face made me resolve that I need to play as dirty as this man.

“8if you divorce me, who will handle of the pack’s businesses? Who? The Beta?”

“It is your duty, My Alpha. It has nothing to do with the beta.”

“Aren’tr your being selfish here? You are acting up all back. I do not wish to have a baby with you but you are not thinking about the members of the pack.”

“The members of the pack do not have a luna and  they are aware of that, you have Gina, she can run the pack now, afterall she is a capable Alpha female,” 

He ran his hand through his hair, “You may take a lover if you want, it is not that I even care.  Act like the whore you are.”

Before I was given the response that came straight to my head, a knock came onto the door and the Bat walked in, “The Alpha of the Neon Moon Pack has arrived sir.”

    The moment Gina left my office, Jeremy closed the door behind her. The forced smile instantly disappeared from my face."So you saw it too?"Jeremy nodded immediately. "The panic."I leaned back in my chair, interlacing my fingers. For a split second, Gina had looked absolutely terrified. Not surprised, not confused—terrified. It was the look of someone who knew exactly what we had discovered.Unfortunately, suspicion wasn't proof. If there was one person we needed to convince before moving forward, it was Zayn. I already knew how difficult that would be, but I had to try. For the pack, for the business, and for the future that was slowly slipping through our fingers."Arrange a meeting with the Alpha," I ordered.Jeremy hesitated, his hand lingering on the door handle. "Are you sure?""No." I gathered the files into a neat stack. "But we're doing it anyway."An hour later, I found Zayn exactly where I expected him. He wasn't in his office, nor was he reviewing reports or attending to

    I barely slept. Every time I closed my eyes, numbers flashed through my mind. Two point three million dollars gone, stolen right from under my nose. By sunrise, I was already seated in my office with three cups of coffee and enough files to fill an entire bookshelf.The knock came exactly at seven."Come in."Jeremy stepped inside carrying several thick boxes, dark circles hanging beneath his eyes. The poor man looked just as exhausted as I felt."These are the financial reports from the last three years," he said, dropping the boxes on the conference table. "Every report the accounting department submitted."I nodded. "Thank you."His eyes narrowed. "You really found something, didn't you?"Instead of answering, I pushed the calculator toward him. The final number remained displayed on the screen: $2,387,000.Jeremy's eyes widened. "What the hell?"That reaction made me feel slightly better; at least I wasn't the only one shocked."I stayed up all night reviewing the transactions," I

    Bella's POV"There is illegal trafficking happening through the batting cage." The words echoed in my head long after Connor stopped speaking.I stared at him. Then I laughed. Not because it was funny. Because it was ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous."You expect me to believe that?"Connor's expression remained calm. Too calm. As if he had expected this reaction. The scattered papers lay across the desk between us, but I couldn't bring myself to look at them again.The batting cage wasn't just another business. It was mine. My first successful project. The first thing I built after marrying Zayn. Every brick, every permit, every employee had passed through my hands.I knew that business. Or at least I thought I did."You're wrong," I said firmly.Connor folded his arms."Am I?""Yes."His eyebrow rose. "Based on what?""Based on the fact that I built it."The answer came too quickly. I knew it. And judging by the look in his eyes, so did he."You built it years ago, Isabella."The way

    "I feel a strong bond with her." Hectare's words echoed in my head as I watched Isabella disappear into the elevator.I clenched my jaw. "Stop it." My wolf growled softly."You felt it too."I ignored him and walked toward the reception desk.The doorman had already disappeared, leaving the lobby almost empty. I adjusted the collar of my polo shirt and approached the receptionist."Excuse me."The young woman looked up. "Good evening, sir.""I think I left something upstairs yesterday when I came here with a friend."But I needed access.The receptionist smiled politely. "Which floor?"I glanced at the elevator numbers. "The private floor."Her smile immediately vanished. "I'm sorry, sir. Only authorized personnel are allowed there."Of course. I expected that much. Before I could think of another excuse, the elevator doors opened again. A familiar manager stepped out. The same one who had escorted Isabella moments ago.His eyes lit up in recognition. "Sir! Welcome back."Perfect.I

    Connor.My mind drifted back to the batting cage as soon as my back hit my bed.I had taken a shower after my conversation with Henry with the plans of sleeping but now it’s impossible.Everything looked normal on the surface, the Alpha has little or no knowledge about the batting cage.I would say none because if he had looked deeply into the affairs of the cage, he would have known that selling it to me could risk a war, breaking the truce the trinity had signed.His wife, Isabella.Hectare growled at my thought of herShe seemed to be out of touch with the batting cage yet unwilling to let go.Someone had to be the mastermind of what’s happening in that cage.A conflicting feeling arose in me, I sprung up from my bed, changed into a casual pair of jeans and a polo shirt.“I'm heading out.” I announced to Henry as I grabbed the keys to the corvette c8.Thank the moon goddess I let Henry bring two cars as he suggested. The SUV had been perfect for the meeting but not what I am about

    Isabella.Two cars were waiting in front of the packhouse. Jeremy pulled the door of the Mercedes Benz open. Zayn whispered into Gina’s ear, she nodded in response to him then she walked towards the Benz.She glared at me before Jeremy shut the door after her then he opened the Audi.“We are riding together! Get in!” Zayn ordered.Being ordered around like a subordinate instead of a wife made her chest tighten. He was all respectful towards Gina when he asked her to ride separately that he whispered in her ear instead of yelling.“Is your mistress not going to create a fuss that you are riding with me?”“Gina knows not to mix business with personal life, unlike some certain someone.”That was rich coming from the Alpha who brought his mistress to a business meeting when she had nothing to contribute to it.“Go ride with her, I do not intend to curry another woman’s jealousy." I needed to sit through the ride home alone so I could think of ways to get the batting cage out of Alpha

    The meeting ended and we returned to our hotel.“What was that back there?” Henry demanded. I ignored him but I knew he would not let it go. “Did you sleep with her when you were out yesterday?”“Jesus Christ, Henry, where did that come from?”“I mean, it is you. You never take women seriously but

    I gazed at him with disbelief on my face, "I don't think I heard you right. Did you say this mistress you intend on taking is moving into this house?"“Yes, is anything wrong with that”“There is no way she is moving in with us, if you must take a mistress like you said, take her to the packhouse.
