Chapter 1

Katherine

They said having a partner makes everything beautiful and that marriage was a blessing, but it was not the case with mine.

My life only felt more empty and hollow as the days went by, now three years since I got married to Conrad.

He never did anything that made me feel like his wife, or showed any care to me. The three years that I had lived with him, the thing that was a constant in my life was sadness.

And it only got worse.

Bringing my mind back to reality with the burning smell of the curry sauce, I turned the cooker off.

Without wasting any more time, I cleaned up the kitchen and served the food on the dinning.

My husband Conrad was not back yet, though I wished he could walk right in and join me for dinner.

He never did.

I picked up my phone and tried calling him to know how soon he would be back. But paused on a second thought.

He had told me one time to not call him if there was nothing serious that I wanted to say, which was exactly why I did not go on.

Left with no other choice, I had to eat the spicy curry sauce, with it tasting bland in my mouth. Certainly, it was because my life felt that way.

"I know you are feeling really sad, I don't feel good either. I wonder what crime we ever commited that made the moon goddess to give us a mate as terrible as Conrad," Nina, my wolf said amidst whimpers.

"We just sit confined here everyday trying to please him, but still he doesn't notice our sacrifices. If we ever have a chance to come back to this life, I hope you learn to live for yourself. I really want you to be happy," Nina consoled.

Tear drops slipped from my eyes at the warmth she made me feel. Maybe it was not my luck to be happy in this lifetime.

Putting my problems aside, I cleared the dinning table and moved to the room.

It was barely ten minutes that I finished dressing up after bathing, that Conrad came into the house.

I was just about to sleep, when I noticed him come to where I was and began to mess with the open skin around my thighs.

I tried resisting his touch, but a large part of me was excited.

My wolf, Nina went wild in jubilation. Finally, Conrad was about to mark me.

Conrad held me closer to him and kissed me like he had never done. His touch on me caused chills and flutters in my belly, I wished that moment never ended.

"Conrad..." I released a moan as his lips finally arrived at my nipples. He was sucking it like a child struggling to get the last taste of sweetness from a jelly bag.

My hands wrapped around his head, pressing him to me as I kept on moaning from the pleasure Conrad caused me.

For the first time since the three years I got married to him, I finally felt like a woman.

And gradually, his fingers ran to the shorts I was putting on and he pulled it off me.

It went straight to my vagina and began pumping it vigorously, all along, his lips did not leave my nipples.

Conrad continued pumping so hard and fast that the only thing that filled the room was the sound of my moan and the action from his finger inside of my wet channel.

Conrad did not waste any more time when he ripped off the cloth that was left on my body, then pulled out his cock from his undershort briefs.

He was hard already, with his veins pumped out on every side of his cock.

If I did not want to enjoy the moment we were having, then I would have taken the whole of him inside of my mouth immediately.

His hard cock rolled along my crotch, before he finally went deep inside of me.

"Aaargh..." I could not hold myself from releasing a sound.

To my amazement, Conrad bent to the side of my ears and licked it before he muttered the words, "I promise to go easy on you."

At that moment, Nina's happiness knew no bounds. At last, our emotions did matter to Conrad.

I kept on staring straight into his ocean blue eyes as his hard cock slammed against my walls.

Like the way time flew so fast whenever good things were happening to me, he climaxed, releasing inside of me, before he fell back on the bed.

I still felt touchy and sweet, so I moved closer to where he lay on the bed and began to draw imaginary patterns on his chest.

"I love you so much, Conrad. You really don't know how excited I feel whenever you hold me close like you just did. You mean the whole world to me and I have never loved anyone as I have loved you." I voiced out, wiping off the tears that left my eyes.

My life was finally coming together to what I had imagined. I did not get any reply from him, and I understood that he was sleepy.

A large part of me still wanted to satisfy my curiosity, so I went on to ask him.

"Do you feel the same way for me? Do you love me as much as I do?" Waiting for his response, I raised his hands to my face and began to wipe my tears with it.

Instead of the reply I expected, I heard him mumble out another name. Clara.

At that moment, I felt like a sharp blade had been used to pierce my heart. I was literally broken and struggling to gather the shards of my heart. The one that Conrad did not allow a day go by without shattering.

It was always Clara. The one girl he loved before his father made him marry me as he found out that we are mates. It was always her, he was always thinking about her.

It was worse that Clara had sent me a message just the previous day. Saying that she was back to take her love, as Conrad loved only her.

I did not want to believe her from reading her text, but it was true. It was the obvious thing. Conrad loved only her and I meant nothing to him. There was no single place in his heart for me.

"Clara..." He stuttered again before finally drifting to sleep.

The tears could not hold back as they began to pour like a tap that had just been open and left to flow. I stood up from the bed and ran out of the room, moving without any destination in mind. The only thing that was on me was the loosed gown that I managed to put on before leaving, nothing mattered to me at that point. Not even my safety.

Morning came fast, with light rays that caused my eyes to open. It was then that I noticed that I had slept at the garden, as I tried running away from Conrad.

I raised myself up and wiped off the dirts on my gown before going back into the room.

Going back to become the slave of a wife that Conrad had made me to be. Going back to become the prisoner in my own matrimonial home as he did not allow me to step out to social gatherings or even act as his Luna.

Conrad was already awake when I got into the room, with his eyes glaring daggers at me.

I had no idea what I had done to make him look at me that way.

"Good morning," I said, moving to the closet to pick up a better cloth to wear, ignoring the daggers he threw at me with his eyes.

"And what is good about the morning? Oh yeah! It definitely feels good to you because you drugged me and made me to be with you, filthy thing, last night. Why won't your morning be good?"

"You think I don't know that you also tricked my father so you can get married to me? And now you are trying to trick me to have your way with me? When will you change and stop being the slut that you are?"

My mouth was apart, and I still struggled to let out words.

"Why are you talking like this to me, Conrad? Do I even mean anything to you? Do you even love me?"

"Answer me, Conrad! I want to know."

"No, I don't love you. Isn't it obvious? You should have known before you agreed to this marriage instead of this facade you put up everytime. I don't love you, Katherine. You are the reason that I am not with Clara, the woman I love. I will never feel anything for you. Get that into your brain!"

Nina was sobbing uncontrollably. I was too, but I did not want Conrad to see anymore of my weakness.

"Yes! You are right. It is my mistake. I should have known that I can't force things to work. I am sorry."

"You know what, Conrad? It is enough. Let us have a divorce."
