Hayley

I wished that I could say Annie was terribly hideous to look at or that there was something physically wrong with her but I would be lying.

“Luna.” She greeted “Can we talk? I promise that it will be brief.” She said simply and I noted that her hand unconsciously rubbed her still very flat tummy. Envy filled my heart but I played it cool and nodded and when she moved to enter my bedroom, I shook my head.

There was no way I wanted her inside my haven. Plus Damon was here and the last thing I wanted was to be in the same room with the two of them at the same time.

“I’ll meet you in the music room.”

I said and she nodded with a smile, turning around and walking away on her heels.

Veering around, I saw Damon looking even more dejected, having heard who was at the door and I walked past him to wash and prepare my face. The last thing I needed was to look like a mess while talking to my husband’s mistress because it didn’t matter what he said. He had slept with her and she was carrying his child which made her his mistress.

“Hayley” he started as I headed out of the room and I raised my hand to stop him.

“I’ve heard what you have to say, Damon. Now, let’s hear what your mistress wants to say to me.” I didn’t mean for my voice to come out so bitter but I didn’t wait for his reply before I walked out of the room and headed to the music room.

In the dimly lit room, Annie stood tall and confident, her blonde hair cascading in waves down her shoulders. Her striking green eyes were like emeralds, gleaming with a mix of mystery and allure, drawing people in like a captivating spell. With every glance, she looked like someone who could make hearts skip a beat and ignite a spark of curiosity in those around her.

Annie's face was adorned with delicate features, a perfectly shaped nose, and full lips that always seemed to hold a hint of a secretive smile. She possessed an air of confidence that exuded from her, making her presence impossible to ignore. Her slender neck gracefully led down to her collarbone, hinting at the elegance beneath.

I couldn't help but notice her figure and her curves seemed to demand attention. Annie's ample bosom emphasized her femininity, a captivating allure that left many entranced. Her hourglass shape flowed seamlessly into a well-defined waist, and her hips gently swayed with every step she took, leaving an unforgettable impression on anyone who caught a glimpse of her.

As she rose from the chair at my entrance, I realized that she had a way of moving that was both graceful and seductive, drawing eyes without even trying. Annie's choice of attire accentuated her assets, showing just enough to leave one intrigued yet leaving much to the imagination. Her style seemed to echo her personality – confident and daring, yet always leaving a hint of mystery.

She looked like the daughter of an alpha truly and her head inclined in a small bow as I entered the room.

“Luna” she greeted again and when I nodded, we both sat across from each other.

I couldn't believe I was sitting here, face to face with Annie, the woman who had hurt me in the worst possible way. My heart was pounding in my chest, and anger and hurt churned inside me. But I wanted answers, closure, and maybe even a hint of remorse.

Annie fidgeted nervously in her chair, avoiding eye contact, but I held her gaze firmly. "Why did you do it, Annie? Why did you sleep with my husband?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.

She took a deep breath, her voice trembling as she spoke. "I'm so sorry, Luna. I never meant for any of this to happen. Damon and I had a moment of weakness, and it was a terrible mistake."

Well, it didn’t change that the mistake made me feel like I was drowning right now.

"A mistake that resulted in a pregnancy," I voiced out, my voice laced with bitterness. "How convenient."

Annie looked down at her hands, tears forming in her eyes. "I know, and I'm sorry. I never wanted to hurt anyone, especially not you."

"Do you even realize the pain you've caused? The lives you've turned upside down?" I snapped, unable to hold back my anger even though I had come here intending to remain calm. I guessed that was what happened when your world was pulled from under your feet.

She nodded, wiping away a tear. "I know, and that's why I've made a decision. I'm going to leave town after the baby is born. I don't want to cause any more pain or disrupt your life any further."

I was taken aback by her words, but at the same time, a small sense of doubt washed over me. "You're leaving? Just like that?"

Would that even solve anything? Would it bring me the peace that I so much desired after having my entire life destroyed days ago by this news?

"I don't want to be a constant reminder of the pain I've caused," Annie said softly. "I want to give you and Damon a chance to heal and move on without my presence hanging over you."

Part of me wanted to lash out at her, to tell her that leaving wouldn't undo the damage she had done. But another part of me understood her desire to take responsibility for her actions, to try and minimize the damage she had caused.

"I don’t have any answers to give to you right now," I said, my voice still tinged with anger. "But all I can ask of you right now is this. Take care of that child. They didn't ask for any of this."

Annie nodded earnestly. "I will. I promise I'll do everything I can to keep the child in good health. This child is going to be an Alpha, after all."

I had to bite my lip to keep myself from screaming at what I knew should always be a reminder of my husband’s infidelity.

"Good," I said, feeling a mix of emotions swirling inside me.

She stood up, tears streaming down her cheeks. "I'm truly sorry, Hayley. I never wanted any of this to happen."

I didn't reply. Watching her walk away, a part of me wanted to feel satisfaction in her departure, but all I felt was the weight of the pain she had caused.

What was going to even happen now? Was I supposed to forgive them? And if I chose not to, would that make me such a terrible person? Annie was saying exactly what anyone else would want to hear in this situation but I could not even feel remotely better that it was a mistake like they both claimed. Would I be able to live here knowing that my husband would be fathering a child with another woman who would have to be living with us as well until the baby was born?

Holding my head between my hands, I fought the urge to scream in agony because these next couple of days, weeks, and months were going to happen whether I wanted to or not and I was the one that had a choice to make now. A choice that would determine the trajectory of the future that Damon and I would share moving forward.

    Epilogue It had been a week since Hayley passed out, the exact time the war came to an end. In a rage, Damon had strangled Gazel, going as much as killing by snapping off his head. From the onset, it was not part of his plan to kill Gazel even as he had agreed to a duel. He was hoping that Gazel could be imprisoned at least, and given some time to amend his ways. But after seeing what Hayley had to go through, he could not bear it. The wolf that had shot at Hayley was also caught by Alex, and he and all of Gazel’s other warriors were imprisoned. “Is she up yet, Daddy?” Adriel who had just met Damon coming out of Hayley’s room asked, and disappointed, he shook his head. “Not yet.”Adriella who was walking some distance away from Adriel heard their conversation, and sad, she ran to her room. She had been trying her best to be calm about everything for the past week. But it was killing to know that her mother was still unconscious from the attack. The best doctors had attended to

    HayleyAfter further investigation, we discovered that the message hadn't been about Gazel and Damon, but between Alpha Mathews and Gazel. Since I had reported about the coup d'état and not the war, the council had responded to the coup. I felt bad for what Alpha Mathews was going through, but all I could do was sympathize with him. There was nothing we could do from now onwards, and only a duel between Alpha Mathews and Gazel could settle the conflict. The winner would become the alpha, and the loser would be tossed in the dungeon. The council would have punished Gazel for the coup d'état, but because Alpha Mathews had made a public announcement denouncing his claim to the leadership of the pack, the council could no longer do anything about the coup. It might have been forced at the beginning, but Alpha Mathews' speech and handover had covered up for Gazel's crime. Gazel was a trickster, and that much was known. He was a man who thought ahead, and that was exactly what made him ve

    Damon I steadied my footing, and with a powerful swipe of my claw decapitated three opponents at once. These men were weak, a lot more weaker than I had anticipated, but they were definitely larger in numbers. I was yet to spot Gazel, and not seeing in front of the army made my fears return once more. I knew Gazel was a cunning man, but I hadn't expected him to be a hypocrite as well. Leaping to the side, I let out a loud howl before chowing down on a smaller Wolf's head. It let out a stifled cry before I tossed it into the body of its comrades. I had been taking things easy at first because I wanted to believe that they were under mind control. But that mistake had cost me during the earlier stages of the war. Now, I was going on full throttle, and I was willing to take down any opponent that crossed my path with full force. If pitied, these men were going to destroy the entirety of my kingdom, and that was not a sacrifice I was willing to make. I tackled a young wolf and slammed

    Hayley"The walls have been breached!" A guard yelled out and my heart immediately sank to the stomach. It was just as Damon had predicted, Gazel had sent some of his men to attack the pack. "Archers fire!" Another order was yelled and soon flaming arrows were being rained on the invading enemies. "You shouldn't be out here, my lady. It's best to remain underground where it's safe. Damon would never forgive me if I let anything happen to you." Liam urged while doing his best to make me follow him into the underground chambers that had been prepared in case of this situation. "No, I'm the Luna, and I will not cower in fear in the face of my enemies. If they think Damon is the only person they should be afraid of, then they are heavily mistaken. I am a mother and a leader, and I'll do anything to make sure that no harm comes to my children and subjects." I made it clear to Liam. He watched me in awe, and I was sure the idea of me being a weakling disappeared from his thoughts. "What

    Damon "I won't stay back Damon! I'm marching to the war front with you!" Liam opposed. I had just ordered that he remained at the pack to take care of things while we were at war. I had barely finished when he began to yell out his own opinion. It was the first time Liam was speaking to me without any sense of formality in his voice and character. It was obvious he wasn't going to let me go, not while he wasn't part of my troops. "You have to be here, you're the only one I can trust with Hayley and the children's lives. Alex will be with you, please do this for me." I pleaded rather than order. At this point it was obvious Liam wasn't speaking to me as my beta, but as a friend who wanted to support their friend at all cost. He wouldn't obey orders even if I gave him one, the only way I could possibly get to him was by exploiting his kind heart. "You need me by your side, in stronger than all of them—" "And that's exactly why I want you here. If Gazel has men ambushing the pack, I

    Damon"We've managed to camp a few kilometers from Wolfsbane field. The soldiers can begin their march now." Liam informed me. I stared at him for a while before giving him a reassuring smile. I could see the fear and concern in his eyes, and even though he fought hard to hide it, it was as bright as day. "There's no need to hide your fear, Liam. I feel the same way, and I'm sure everybody else does. It would be foolish to be happy and unbothered during the times of war." I said before giving him a pat on the back. "You've done well with preparing everybody, you should take some time to rest. I'll handle everything from here onwards." Liam shook his head fervently in disagreement. "I can't rest, not when there's much to do. Gazel is marching here with an army by his side. We need all the help we can get. I'm not exhausted yet, I'll continue to help in any way I can." He argued. "If you exhaust all your energy now, then you'd be useless when the need comes. I know you want to do mor
