The meeting at the neighboring pack had run quite longer than I expected and when the front door closed behind me, I was relieved. It had been an impromptu gathering and even though I loved being Luna, I loved being home with my husband more. With a tired sigh, I made my way past the guards and servants littered around the house to my room, shaking my head in response to their greetings. All I want now is a long soak in the bathtub, maybe a massage and then some much needed rest. I could hear some strange noise coming from outside, I hate noise so much and I keep telling the maids about it but they seem to be very disobedient. My husband, Alpha Jackson wouldn't be home by this time being the busy Alpha that he is so there was no way those noises were coming from the room. At least that's what I tried to tell myself but then I realized the noise wasn't actually coming from outside, instead it grew closer as I walked closer to the room. “What is going on?” I asked myself when I could recognize the noise wasn't a normal one, it’s the sound of a lady moaning In my matrimonial room. I placed my shaky hand on the doorknob and turned it, dreading what I might find. Even though the sounds had gotten clearer, I still hoped I was mistaking about what it sounds like, I opened the door immediately and just as I thought, I wasn't wrong about the noise, my husband in bed with another woman. Tears clouded my vision as I watched the man I thought was in love with me drive deeper into another woman's body, not just any other woman but my sister! One by one the tears rolled down my cheeks until I was full-on crying. “Jackson, why would you do this to me?” I asked in a soft voice. I didn't expect them to hear but Lyra let out a surprised cry and jumped sending Jackson flying off her. “Why did you stop? We were having so much fun.” Jackson hissed as he turned it look at me, he sat up but didn't make any attempt to apologise to me. He didn't look sober, rather, he seemed irritated like I had disturbed them. I looked at my step sister, Lyra Nikolai, the only family I had left and pursued my lips. “Why did you do it Lyra?” I asked for lack of other things to say. She avoided my gaze and didn't reply. I scoffed and wiped my face, tossing my bag on the bed. “How dare you do this to me Jackson? After everything we've been through together?!” I screamed, suddenly incapable of sitting still. “And you, you call yourself my sister but you still chose to hurt me this way?!” Lyra sighed and got up from the bed, wrapping the covers over her breasts. “Kay, I know that I don't have any excuse as to why I am in bed with your husband, but I want you to know that this is all it would ever be between both of us, we're just satisfying each other. I'm not taking your husband from you.” She replied reluctantly. I blinked in shock at her words wondering if I had misheard her. “You don't have to lie about us.” Jackson said to her with a loving eyes. “Well, since it has come to this, I have to tell you the truth. Lyra and I have been in love but we didn't want to hurt you which is why we kept it a secret.” He continued speaking, rendering me speechless with each word that came out of Jackson's mouth. “Why would you say it to her now? Can't you see she's still in shock?” Lyra said tapping him seductively, she acted a little guilty for a second before she sent him a fond smile. “You want us to continue?” Jackson asked and kisses her, she tried stopping him but he was too strong to be stopped. “My sister is still here.” She yelled at him and then looked away but refused to meet my eyes. I couldn't believe my eyes, the people I trust the most are the ones that betrayed me, this is my worst nightmare. I still couldn’t believe both of them would do such a thing to me. “This is too much,” i said as I walked up to them. I thought of pulling Lyra by her hairs, but I chose to ask myself first if its worth it. “How can you be this shameless Jackson?! I can't believe you're going to throw everything we've shared away, just because of a few minutes of pleasure. “Maybe if you were doing your job properly I wouldn't be here.” Lyra said. “Don't you ever speak to me on such manner!” I slapped her angrily. Jackson met me halfway and slapped me across the face. “That's for slapping my woman.” he whispered and I stood there gasping in shock. “Did you just hit me? Jackson you've never hit me before and now you're hitting me because of her?” I wanted to leave but I needed to teach the whore a lesson so I tried pulling her hairs but Jackson was fast enough to push me away without minding where I land. I hit my leg against the bed frame and fell to the ground on my stomach. “What is wrong with you Kayla? Can't you see that no one wants you here, it's clear enough for you to understand!” He pulled Lyra close to him when she tried to reach for me and I watched with blurry vision as she held back tears. I could tell it wasn't entirely her intention but I can't forgive her for hurting me this way. “I can't believe you're this shameless.” He hissed, ignoring the fact that I was still lying on the ground. “Why can't you read between the lines? We're over“ he yelled. I grunted and tried to sit up but a sharp pain assaulted my senses, sending me doubling over. “Let’s continue from where we stopped.” He said to her while kissing her neck. “I don't feel comfortable staying here anymore, she's…” Lyra covered her mouth in shock pointing at me. “She's bleeding!” Lyra panicked, placing her hands gently on my body. Jackson looked at me reluctantly clearly stating from the way he looked that he doesn't care if I die there. “Didn't you hear what I said? Let's get the ambulance.” She yelled back at Jackson and I watched with tears blurring my vision. Jackson had never listened to me in that way before. He had never cared about my opinion but he was ready to jump because Lyra said so? How could I have been so blind? I laid there in pain, shedding silent tears with Lyra fussing over me and whispering reassuring words in my ears. I fought the urge to push her away, but I was in too much shock right now, I was just too weak to say a word so I couldn’t stop her from helping, even though she was doing it genuinely I still don't want her help. While I was being rushed to the hospital I kept reminiscing on the things Jackson said it me then I realized I have obviously been standing in their way for quite some time. “I'm so stupid.” I whispered to myself but she heard me and both eyes met. “I'm sorry Kay.” I heard her whisper to me as she stopped following, I was moved into the ambulance vehicle, my sight was blurry but I could see Jackson walking out of the house without regret. The fact that I was bleeding wasn't a good sign and I knew if I didn't get to the hospital soon, I would regret it. “Can you hear me?” The nurse asked me several times and I kept nodding, she was preventing me from falling asleep. While the vehicle was taking me to the hospital I had a lot on my mind, for a moment I thought of giving up, because what's left of me? I was embarrassed by my husband in the presence of my younger sister. The same man I have loved all my life, I did everything to get us this far even if it went against my principles I still did it to make him happy, that's how much I loved him. I know that if Susan was here this wouldn't be happening. Fresh tears began rolling down my cheeks. How could I have been so blind???! How could I have missed the signs because there was no way this all started today. Gosh! how could Jackson do this to me? “Are you feeling pains?” The nurse asked again as she was helping me wipe my tears. I nodded my head as the pain Is worse than she could ever imagine. This was the last thing I heard before I passed out with tears rolling down my cheeks. **** “How are you feeling?” I heard as I opened my eyes again. I blinked a couple of times, adjusting to the brightness of the lights in the room. “How are you feeling?” I finally focused my attention on the source of the voice. “Water,” I croaked as I found my voice. The woman wearing the white coat immediately poured me a glass from the pitcher sitting on the bedside table. I drank it all in one gulp, and tried to sit up in bed. I can't believe I woke up, for a moment there I wished I had died, why on earth did I not die? She studied me for a while before asking me, “What happened to you?” I thought about it for a while before replying. “I fell that’s all I could remember. She sighed. “You were pregnant Luna, weren't you aware?” I took this piece of information in, shock and surprises weakening my senses then I placed my hand on my belly. “I understand it's normal for some pregnant women not to know until their second trimester but didn't you see the signs?” Hearing the question made me remember how Jackson asked if I wasn't seeing the sign of our marriage ending. I suddenly remembered the baby then I placed my hand on my belly again. “What about the baby? Doctor is my baby?..” I whispered, stumbling over my words.Kayla povThe way Callan stood on the same spot without saying anything to me made me realize that something must have happened to my baby and if anything really happened to my child, I will make sure that Jackson doesn't see the last of it, I will make sure I make his life completely miserable. “Kayla, calm down. Why are you so worried? The truth is, that day you collapsed, you slipped into a coma and you had to be operated on to bring out the baby so your baby is perfectly okay.” While he was talking Drevan walked into the ward carrying my baby.I laid back on the bed feeling relieved when I saw him holding my baby. I can't believe they made me worry for nothing. “Why didn't you say anything? If you had said something immediately I wouldn't have been so worried.” Callan smiled. “I was just very happy to see you awake which is why I forgot to tell you about the baby first.” Drevan handed the baby to me and it was the best feeling of my life, carrying my baby in my own hands and s
Kayla pov Walking into the sitting room with Drevan and seeing so many people there made the atmosphere a little awkward. We should have just stayed in my room instead of taking this little walk with Drevan.I couldn't even raise my head when I walked in and saw the way all of them turned to look at both of us, “This is so awkward.” I said a little above a whisper. The reason why we decided to come back into the house is because I was feeling a little nausea, so Drevan decided to bring me back to the house. I placed my hand on my head because my head was suddenly hurting. I decided to go back to my room but before I could even make the decision Callan was already by my side helping me to avoid me from falling. Both friends held me like I meant the world to them which made everything even worse than it was. Nyx and Leon were looking at both of us, I couldn't even look at her face when I noticed the way she was looking at us. I know that what just happened is not supposed to happen
Writer's povNyx pretended to be okay with his presence. She doesn't want Callan to think about it the wrong way and she doesn't want him to know that Leon has been trying to ask her out for a long time now.“I thought you weren't going to be home, I have been trying to…”“Are you here to see the Alpha concerning the war we're preparing for?” Nyx cuts in immediately.She was trying to prevent Leon from saying anything that would complicate their relationship which is already shaking.“I heard you would be leaving in a few days.” Nyx's face turned sour the moment she heard what Leon said because her biggest fear right now is going for the war even though it used to be her biggest achievement as she always returns victorious.“Yes, Callan is preparing the warriors to go with me and Drevan is also prepared so you have nothing to worry about.” Leon nodded his head with a smile on his face when he heard everything that she said to him, he noticed that she was tense and he enjoyed teasing h
Nyx povI felt like I was losing my mind while I was listening to him talk to me like he doesn't care at all, he treats me as if I don't have the right to feel the way I am feeling. And now he expects me to tell my father the truth about our relationship and how he cannot get married to me just because he doesn't love me. Both of us know very well the kind of person my father is. He is not one to take no for an answer, he's the only one that knows from the pack that Callan is still alive.“Callan, I know that you are still confused, maybe it's because I'm coming up too strong and it's making you feel like you don't really love me, why don't we take a break? that way you might start missing me and then you realize you actually love me.” Callan looked shocked to hear my suggestion.“You don't mean what you just said right?” He asked, looking at me in disbelief, at this point I don't know what you want anymore. I have tried everything possible to make both of us be together but he seems
Kayla povHe returned with a glass of water and a bright smile on his face. “Your food is on its way here.” He said to me while looking at my face. It was so awkward to have him look at me like that, I was wondering why he's looking at me that way, I mean there is nothing on my face. “You look better now.” He said with a faint smile on his face, I was speechless, I could not say anything when I heard what he said. My head was completely blank, I couldn't think of the reply to give him because I know that I shouldn't be excited about anything that concerns him, he has someone that he's betrothed to so I shouldn't dream of having something that'll never be mine.“Thanks for taking good care of me and my baby, I don't know how to show appreciation right now, but once I give birth I'll make sure to help in the house however I can.” I assured him. I felt I had been on the receiving end ever since I got here, maybe I should also try to help the little way I can.“What are you saying? Kayla
Kayla povAt first I thought Drevan's closeness with me was with an ulterior motive but as time went on, I realized he was being genuine with me. He made me feel good about this place by taking me around to see places that I have never come across since I started staying here.After the doctor was done attending to me I noticed that both men seem to be in a little argument so I was wondering what you could be arguing about, I just hope they are not blaming themselves because of what happened to me.I struggled to stand up from the bed and stepped out of the room. I needed to go stop both of them in case they are still having any arguments again.“Where are you going?” Leila asked me, looking worried. She came with Ella and both of them stopped me from leaving the room. I wanted to defend myself but I couldn't even talk well because I was in too much pain.I was taken back to the bed and sat down there looking at both girls trying to make me feel comfortable.“I'm sorry for not doing m
