MasukMiranda is lying on her back staring up at me with fear in her in her beady blue eyes.
" You stupid bitch! How dare you cheat on my father?! WITH MY HUSBAND AT THAT!" I say as I'm trying my hardest to get out of Ezra's hold. "I'm sorry, please don't hit me again!" Miranda pleads with me as she begins to stand. Ezra releases me and stands in front on Miranda. He looks at me with an unreadable expression which only pisses me and Sage off. "Don't worry baby my dear wife won't be telling him or anyone anything." Ezra says with a smug look on his face that makes me land a clean right hook against it. With Ezra being a powerful Alpha and all my hit barely causes him to react. He adjusts himself and looks me in my eyes. "Miranda is my second chance mate. And since you caused me to lose my first mate I will not be losing her." He says with spite intertwined with his words. My mouth drops and I shoot a glance at Miranda who is cowering behind Ezra. While I stand here and try to process what is happening I mindlink my father and his. No less than 5 mins comes in our former Alpha Desmond and my father. "What the hell is going on here?!" Alpha Desmond's says in a tone that almost makes me cower since he is using his Alpha command. "Your piece of a shit son is sleeping with Miranda. My father's Wife." I say calmly while the storm is brewing beneath my skin. "Babydoll I know you're angry but there's no way Miranda is the woman Ezra is sleeping with." My father says in a tone of disbelief. "Tell him now you worthless whore!" I scream at Miranda as I'm slowly starting to lose control to Sage. "You- You- You never marked me. Which I don't know why but is gave me the chance to find my second chance mate. Franklin I'm sorry but I couldn't fight the bond I love him." She says with a bit more confidence since she isn't speaking to me like the weak bitch she is. "Are you kidding me?! So because I never marked you it gave you the reason to sleep with my son- in- law?!" My dad said with a tone of disgust mixed with hatred. "No but he was sent to me by the moon goddess. How can I walk away from that?" She asked my father. Before he could respond Sage sends toward Miranda and I land another punch which causes her to hit the ground. Ezra rushes to her side and looks up to me. " I, Ezra Blackwood, the Alpha of the Blackwood Bay pack, reject you Adeline Simmons from the Blackwood Bay pack." He says coldly as I fall to my knees holding my chest. I can feel the bond break. My skin where his mark is begins to burn. Being rejected by a mate fated or not is a painful process. I stand as is mark starts fading along with the pain. "I, Adeline Simmons of the Blackwood Bay Pack, accept your rejection." I say firmly fighting back the tears in my eyes. Ezra turned to me and my father and said in his Alpha command. "You will both stay here in the pack until our divorces are finalized." "Great and then I will no longer be tied to a cunt like you. I'm going to keep my house in the pack until our divorce then I will be leaving. I won't stay in a pack that has a piece of shit for an Alpha. I storm out of the pack house and get in my car. Once I get to my house I submit to Sage and let her run until the sun starts to go down. Sage brings us home and I get in the shower. The water is running off my skin and I began to drown in my thoughts. Now that everything has come to light I'm actually relieved. I wanted to find my fated mate since Sage came forward and she has desperately wanted to same. She has never liked Ezra or his wolf so she has always had the blocked from feeling my feelings or being able to hear my thoughts. Sage doesn't see them as our mate to she says they don't deserve that access to us. Once I finish washing up I sit on the edge of my bed in the master bedroom of the house. I stayed in the master since this is my house and Ezra was hardly ever here anyway. I zone out for a few minutes until my phone dings with a notification from my calendar. I glance down and let out the deepest groan I could muster. CALENDAR: 25TH BIRTHDAY MASQUERADE BALL Shit how can I forget my own birthday I say to myself. " Kinda easy to forget thanks to that bastard Ezra." Sage says back to me trying to ease my nerves. Before I can respond to her my phone dings again. TEXT MESSAGE FROM EZRA: "We are still married and I have invited Alphas from different packs here for your ball and for us to discuss Alpha business. You will be there until this divorce is final and I can marry my mate and make her Luna!" That piece of shit! He will have to compensate me for suffering through anything that has to do with Luna or pack duties. I am only his wife because a divorce takes 30 days to finalize and we have already filed the papers. Helps that he is the Alpha and can have them filed expeditiously. "You will have to pay me 300,000 for every event or anything that relates to pack matters to receive my cooperation. Let me not remind you that you cheated on me and I owe you nothing!" I respond back to Ezra. My phone dings immediately after the texts sends. TEXT MESSAGE FROM EZRA: "Fine." Sage purrs in agreement. This will allow me to buy my way into another Alphas pack. I'm not hurting for money since I am the former Beta's daughter. But this does allow to get some revenge while setting me up for an easy transition.Alpha Aspen POV: "What is it?" Ezra asks curiously. "I will be taking Adeline with me when I leave to return home. She is my mate and her rightful place is next to me in Hawthorne Bay." I say firmly. I am not asking his permission to take my mate. I'm telling him. The other Alphas look around in confusion. They are aware that she is his wife and Luna, however, they aren't aware that Ezra cheated on and betrayed her with her own stepmother. "Why would I allow that? She is my wife and Luna." Ezra says with a smirk on his face that I want to smack clean off. If he thinks I don't know what truly transpired between him and my mate he's dangerously mistaken. "That's right. The other Alphas hadn't yet arrived for your little speech. You know, the one where you told your pack that Adeline and you were now divorced. Oh and that you found you mate within her stepmother." I say returning his smirk. I know that I've pissed him off now. If Ezra cares about anything, it's his reputation. "You
Alpha Aspen POV:Seeing my mate full of sadness and pain cause by a man who should have devoted himself to her makes my blood boil. It definitely does help that the man is my long time enemy. She's skeptical about me and becoming my Luna. The little that I've heard about her marriage to Ezra I can't say that I blame her"I will make that son of a bitch pay for hurting our mate." Blaze growls as he's pacing back and forth."We will. But for now we need this alliance to protect our mate and pack from the witches. Once we take care of that threat we will take care of Ezra." I say back to Blaze. "I'm sorry for pulling you from the party. I just never thought I'd find you." She says to me as she pulls down the driveway of the Blackwood Bay packhouse."You can take me from anywhere. Once this meeting is finished we will be leaving so please go home and pack your things." I tell her as I push a strand of her long beautiful hair behind her ear. She starts to blush but then it looks like real
I grab Alpha Aspen by his hand and start to run out of the ball. We get into my car and I speed off before anyone could notice us. "I see that we are heading into the woods. Why would Ezra allow his wife and Luna to live so far from the packhouse?" He asks me and this time I can tell he has many questions about my relationship with Ezra. "Our marriage was arranged by our father's. My dad was Alpha Desmond's beta. My mother never liked the packhouse and always said that a family deserves their own home. So my father bought her a house and when I was married I told Ezra the same. He bought this house for me as a gift, but sometimes I wonder if it actually a gift to both of us." I respond to him as I start to pull down my driveway. "Was he never home?" Aspen asks me with one of his brows raised. "No." I say firmly as I park the car. "Well we are here. I wanted my house in the woods because Sage loves to run. Do you want to run together? She's been dying to meet your wolf since
Adeline POV: Alpha Aspen has me pressed against the wall with his body holding mine in place. How close he is to me is taking my breath away. His scent is so intoxicating that it is making my core ache something that I have never experienced with Ezra. He smashes his lips against mine. This moment is so intense that I start to lose myself in him as he deepens the kiss. Before things could escalate I hear a growl. "Why the hell are you kissing my wife?!" Ezra yells in his Alpha command tone. "How is she your wife when she's my mate?" Aspen asks him as he glances at me. I couldn't tell if he was angry or curious. "Your Ex-wife you cunt!" I growl at Ezra. I can't let him convince my mate that I belong to someone else. "Well now that that's cleared up. Why are you upset when it clearly looks like you have someone new?" Alpha Aspen asks Ezra as he points at Miranda who is cowering behind Ezra like the weak bitch she is. "She's his mate. The one he cheated on me with and left
Alpha Aspen POV: I arrived at Alpha Ezra's packhouse right as the party was starting. Once inside one of his warriors tells me that his office is right up the stairs. I headed up the stairs when this scent that smelled like strawberries and crème with a hint of cinnamon. "MATE!" My wolf Blaze yells at me. I walked faster up the stairs and the scent gets stronger until I see a woman standing in front of me. She has on this mask that is covered in diamonds and rubies. Her bright green staring at me as I walk up to her. "Take your mask off I would like to see the face of my mate." I say to her in a demanding tone. I'm not trying to be agressive but I am trying my hardest to let Blaze take over. I wonder what's going through her mind because she doesn't say anything she just stands there looking kinda shocked. I push her against the wall my body flush against hers. Her scent hits me harder now that we are so close. "Well mate are you gonna take off this wonderfully designed ma
Adeline POV: It's my 25TH birthday and I'm only excited to be counting down the days to leave this goddess forsaken pack. Ezra has kept me busy doing a few pack obligated assignments. Just from him alone I've racked up 1.5 million. My party was supposed to be about me but with the increase in with attacks Ezra has called an emergency alpha meeting. So now my party will become all about the Alphas from every pack in the region coming to Blackwood Bay. I know that it should bother me but honestly I'm just excited that my divorce will be finalized tonight. My dad and I will be leaving the pack tomorrow. We talked the morning after the affair came to light. He apologized to me and said that he had no idea what was going on between the two of them. My dad explained why he never marked her. He said that he felt like marking her would be replacing the bond he had with my mother. Without the mark he wouldn't have felt the betrayal pains. Miranda always showered in the packhouse so she n
