CHAPTER-6: My cunning wife

“You fucking bastard! How dare you touch her? I will kill you!” Gideon clutched Jordan’s neck in a vice grip and flung his body against the wall.

Jordan’s wolf let out a wail before he composed himself and craned his neck in submission. "I am so sorry, Alpha. But I don’t remember that night. It’s not my fault, I didn’t know Angela liked me. I always maintained my distance with her. She is just a little girl who didn’t know her boundaries…” before he could say another word Gideon growled in warning before smacking him hard in the face.

“SHE IS MY WIFE! MINE!” He hit his face, shedding blood out of mouth. Fear caught Jordan’s body as he saw how Gideon was still concerned about her.

‘Fuck, I should be more careful.’ he cursed under his breath.

Jordan fell on his knee and apologised again. “I know, Alpha. That’s why I rejected her proposal months ago. I didn't betray you, please. I am speaking the truth. Even if you want to kill me, I will still say that I am innocent. I have no more clarification than that, I could never go against you or hurt you in any way. You are not only my Alpha but my big brother.” Jordan’s wolf whimpered in fear and respect as he surrendered himself before his Alpha but terror had his heart gripped in its palm. He just prayed to the moon goddess that Gideon would believe his words. Otherwise everything will be destroyed, his whole family.

Gideon sucked a deep angry breath, his wolf wanted to kill him but He knew He couldn’t. Because Gideon sensed that Jordan was not lying. He wouldn’t go against him, let alone touching his wife.

Dash stepped forward and said calmly. “I think he is telling the truth, Alpha. Maybe someone spiked his drink. We need to investigate more!”

“Get out of my sight before I kill you! You are fired from your gamma position!” Gideon seethed and Jordan’s eyes widened. But still he managed to get out of the office room as soon as possible.

Gideon cleaned his hands and slouched on his chair banging the table hard. He was controlling his fury but his mind was in destruction. Dash seeing his Alpha cum best friend in distress said, “Gideon, you need to calm down, okay. Give it time. The elders are already talking about Luna and Jordan's relationship. We have to delay the council meeting before you decide what you want to do!”

Gideon snarled. “I will see how long she pretends and hides the truth from me!”

Dash shook his head and sighed, taking a seat around the table in front of Gideon.

“Angela’s health is deteriorating, Gideon. She had been unconscious for hours with high fever. Dr Zamini said her body will take time to heal. She is human afteral. You need to stop tormenting her!”

As Nora told, Angela played well and pretended to faint and the guards in fear informed Alpha who ordered them to take her into the pack clinic. He didn’t want her dead.

Gideon poured the liquor into the glass and gulped it in one go. The scene of his wife kissing Jordan was flashing in his mind like a movie. His wolf was on brink to shed blood. Blood of his cousin and wife.

“I know you still care for Angela, Gideon. Do you really think Angela did this? She is incapable of going against the werewolf, against the Alpha king to be precise. She wouldn’t dare betray you! Maybe she was just drunk and..”

Gideon’s eyes flashed with dangerous glint.

“So you think Jordan is lying? You yourself watched the video, didn’t you? She fucking cheated on me. She is not less than that Whore who killed my mother. All fucking women are same, Dash!” Gideon gritted, interrupting him in the middle. Dash sighed and nodded.

He knew his painful childhood. He hates the women with the core of his heart after what happened to his mother. But Angela, that human girl was the first one to break the walls He created around his heart, only to break his heart along with them in the end.

“I know but we have seen Angela since her childhood, Gideon. And also Jordan is your cousin. He respects you more than anything and wouldn’t dare to look at Angela in the wrong way. What Angela did is unforgivable but maybe she was only drunk and played a little. She is just seventeen. And a human being tends to make mistakes at this age. Jordan also told he don’t remember that night. Even though you rejected Angela but she is still your wife. You can’t kill her. As your friend I would suggest you to decide wisely, Gideon. You are more intelligent than me!” Dash nodded at him seriously.

“What would you do if you were in my place? Would you see your wife or mate tangling in sheets with another man naked and decide to forgive her? Would you accept her fucking another man?” Gideon’s eyes sharpened from the corner as He stared at his friend challengingly.

Dash growled. “I would kill him!” Surely no mate could accept it.

“Exactly! I know what I need to do regarding my wife, Dash.” Gideon grunted dismissing the topic. Dash sighed. “Right! It’s your decision at the end of the day!”

“How is my father?” Gideon asked him.

“Still in coma. Doctors said the wolfbane was stronger than a regular one. Isn’t it just fishy, Angela made that drink for your father who drank on the dining table in front of everyone knowing she would be caught later. What would she get by doing all of this when she is already your wife! So it doesn’t count that she wanted to be your Luna!” Dash shook his head, not deciphering the situation.

Gideon was not a fool to not think about it already. He closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair. How can a human girl play all of them or someone from his pack was helping her?

He pondered over it many times but her cheating with Jordan hurt him the most. He can’t forgive her for that. He knew her father imposed that marriage on her. He had known she liked his cousin for years.

But How dare she think she would get away with this while marrying him. The Alpha king!

“She must face the consequences for it, Dash! And I will make sure she remembers well whom she messed with!”

“Don’t worry, Angela. Your baby is perfectly fine!” Dr Zamini said Angela while bandaging her wounds on her hips.

Angela smiled in gratitude. “Thank you so much, Dr Zamini. I don’t know what I would do without you and Nora!” She said with a sad sigh.

“You are a strong girl, dear. Trust me. Everything will be fine! Just try to stay calm tonight, okay!” Dr Zamini nodded while squeezing her hand with a silent hint.

Angela nodded and was about to ask for her help with some money when a cold voice startled them.

“Leave us alone, Dr Zamini!” Gideon ordered before stepping inside the clinic room. Dr Zamini squeezed Angela’s shoulder before walking out.

Angela fisted the sheet under her hands in fear when He walked near her. She didn’t want him to know about her pregnancy. He looked at her from up to bottom before setting his gaze on her face.

“I didn’t know you could act this well, my cunning wife!” He snarled with a mocking smile. “You wanted to get out of the dungeon by performing a stunt of fainting. Didn’t you!” He stated, pinning her under his hard gaze.

Angela swallowed in panic. Did He see through her pretence?

Gideon stepped ahead, clutched her shoulders and yanked her body upwards from the bed, “Tell me Angela, Did you fuck him? Did he satisfy you?” His tone held utmost fury that made Angela’s blood freeze.

Her eyes widened as she attempted to get herself free. “Gideon, leave me. You are hurting me!” She moaned in pain as his grip was too tight.

“Tell me, did he fuck you like I used to do, Angela?” He asked again with a wicked smirk while looking down at her body.

A cold shiver ran through Angela’s spine as she glared at him hard at his disgusting question. “You have gone mad? Just leave me alone!” She yelled. Gideon chuckled before his eyes flashed in raw fury. He gripped her jaws and got on her face.

“Do you love him so much that you put your life at stake? Tell me the truth before I make you open your mouth in my way, Angela. Tell me how long have you been cheating on me, how many times you fucked him?” He growled but this time Angela felt sick to her stomach hearing his words.

“You are sick bastard, Gideon! I can’t believe I fell for you. I can't believe I imagined making a family with a monster like you. You don’t deserve anyone. You don’t deserve me, my love and the heir from me, Gideon Woodbead!”

Something flashed in his eyes hearing her words. The past memory!

You don’t deserve anyone?
