Rouge was true to his word about Rachel staying with us here in our house. He came home in the next morning, all smiles to his ears as he held Rachel’s waist softly, guiding her to walk.
A pain pinched my heart with that view, completely showing how he cheats on me with her. I caressed my belly then sighed heavily. I was about to approach them but one of our helpers went to me and stopped me. “I’m sorry, Luna Cassandra, but it is Alpha Rouge’s order to keep you away from Miss Rachel. If you want to talk with your husband, he advised me to inform you that you should stay inside your room and wait for him there.” My eyes fell on her hand holding my arm, and then I glared at her. Her eyes widened in horror, taking her hand off my arm. “I’m sorry if I offended you, my dear Luna,” She doesn’t need to be sorry; I was just shocked by Rouge’s order. This is our house, and I have the right to roam around if I want to. And here he is, limiting my moves inside my own house. “Don’t worry, it’s okay.” When I turned to look at them, they were gone already. They are probably inside of our guest room, and who knows what they are doing right now? “In what guest room does Rachel stay in here?” The helper hesitated first to give me the answer, but my glares helped me to convince her. I guess Luna’s glares are enough for her to tell me so. ””” Instead of going to Rachel’s room, I decided to just stay inside my room and prepare my clothes. Rouge is planning to divorce me anyway, as I heard in his conversation with Rachel, so I might as well take the honor to do it for him. Closing the zip of my luggage, my room’s door chimes, indicating that someone has entered. “What a pity view from the so-called Luna of our pack,” Rachel chuckles as she closes the door. I glared at her and stood properly with my chin up, never giving her the satisfaction of looking down on me. “What are you doing here, Rachel? I thought you were scared of me?” “Come on, Luna Cassandra. Don’t be a fool and stupid. We both know who really is the one Rouge truly loves, and we both know it’s not you.” “And you think it’s you? Tell me, Rachel. You’re just pretending that I poisoned you, aren’t you? What for, huh? So that you can have my husband’s pity and attention?” I said with gritted teeth, every word that comes out of my mouth speaks with conviction and power. Rachel’s laugh roared; her eyes burned with anger. “You’re such a fool and not Luna material, the reason why Rouge seeks love from other persons like me. Probably you’re also unaware of it, huh? It doesn’t shock me anyway, as we all know here in our pack that you are the most stupid luna to have ever existed!” My chest heaved, fisting my hands to stop myself from attacking her, controlling my wolf to calm down. I could feel my wolf’s anger, growling inside of me. “Why are you doing this to me, Rachel?! Putting all the blame on me for a crime I didn’t even do! Remember this, Rachel Aragon, you’re just my husband’s friend. I am still his wife and the Luna of this pack. I have all the rights and power, more than what you have!” She glared at me, then clawed her fingers. “You fucking bitch!” As she plans to attack me, I protect myself from her attacks by pushing her away, making her fall on the floor. I showed out my claws and turned my eyes into gold, ready to transform into my wolf form once she attacks again. She was about to stand for another attack, but the door opened, revealing Rouge with his widened eyes directed quickly to me. Rachel quickly hides her claws, then screams as if she is in pain, continuously screaming of how I pushed her on the floor. “What the fuck did you do, Cassandra?!” Rouge yelled at me as he immediately kneeled on the floor for Rachel. “Rouge, she hurts me! She pushes me here on the floor, and she wants to attack me! She wants me to die because of her jealousy! She thinks I’m taking you away from her!” Crying and holding Rouge’s arms, Rachel puts all the blame on me. “I came here because I want to fix our ties, but then she refuses to, and instead she goes to attacking me!” Rouge glared at me, gritting his teeth as if he would kill me. Breathing heavily, I shake my head. “That’s not true! You provoked me that’s why I pushed you! I just defended myself—” “Shut up! Shut the fuck up, Cassandra!” He yelled to cut me off. He helped Rachel stand up; two helpers came to her and guided her out of the room. I saw how Rouge caressed Rachel’s arms first and whispered that everything would be okay before she left us both inside. Rouge closed the door, then pushed me on the wall, gripping my arms tightly, cornering me. “Rouge—” “Shut up! I won’t allow you to speak lies again! I saw you pushing her, and you can’t get away from that, Cassandra! People are really right about you being not Luna material. Until now, I regret agreeing to our contract marriage! If I just had the courage to reject it beforr, Rachel should’ve been my Luna right now and not you!” Tears flow on my face like a continuous rainfall. His image becomes blurred in my eyes. I smiled bitterly then pushed him away. “Don’t worry, I’ll give you what you want, Alpha Rouge. But before that, I want to ask if you have ever loved me as your Luna and wife. ” He clenched his jaw, then looked away. “I only married you because of my father and because you’re my mate. Nothing more than that." Nodding my head, I accepted the ending of my fate as his Luna. With my shaky voice, full of betrayal and pain, I said. “I already signed the divorce agreement. Just sign it and process it yourself; after, you can marry Rachel and turn her to be your new Luna.” My heart is breaking into pieces as I spoke about the divorce. This is it. It really is happening. I wait until Rouge looks at me, and when our eyes meet, I say… “I, Cassandra Lopez, reject you, Rouge Anderson, as my Alpha and my mate.” An extreme pain takes my heart, and I have to hold my chest tightly for support. Rouge did as well as his eyes widened. Our eyes both mirrored the pain that we feel. “Is this what you want? I, Rouge Anderson…” Before he could even finish his acceptance of my rejection, I took my luggage and walked away, never turning back to the house that was once my safe haven.Rouge’s POVMy blood is boiling in a way I didn’t expect to. It is not because it makes me angry as I hear Cassandra’s son calling me ‘daddy.’ It’s more about feeling a connection with him; in some way I didn’t feel whenever I was with Rachel.Every time I would caress her tummy, I felt nothing.But here… with Hector calling me his dad, I felt extraordinary. Cassandra’s reaction didn’t help. She seems so afraid… like she’s hiding something.What is it, Cassandra? Why are you suddenly so frightened?My eyes were red as I stared at Cassandra, but when I looked at Hector behind her back, my eyes automatically softened.Fuck! Is he my son?Gritting my teeth, controlling the anger within me, I walk near him and then kneel in front of him. I heard Cassandra gasp, but she was not able to stop me.“Your name is Hector, right? ” I asked, wondering about all of him.He smiled and then nodded. “Yes, Alpha…”He changed it. From daddy to Alpha…I turned to look at Cassandra, and she immediately lo
Cassandra’s POVGulping the lump in my throat as I observe the lights in this secluded area, I have come to a realization if this is really a nice idea. Maybe I should’ve just borrowed money from my mother and Alpha Racken?However, the amount I have to pay Rouge is so huge I don’t think borrowing will ever be enough to close it out.This is my only chance, then—to work in a bar as a server girl... for a fucking year.This is a high-end bar, as Rouge describes while we’re on our way. But now that I’m seeing all these things, I may choose to oppose his idea of this.This does not look like a high-end bar. The customers are being so sloppy and dominant in a bad way—which makes me shiver every time their eyes are laid on me.Rouge walks in front of me as he holds my hand, making sure that I’m not going to back out and run for my life out of here—as he said.Well, he hasn’t realized yet that the moment I step my foot in here, I’ve already finalized that this will be my life for the rest o
Rouge’s POV“Racken isn’t with them. She’s living only with her son and her mother,” I say as I sit on the backseat of my car.Lester, on the other hand, looked at me. I lifted my hand, and he immediately started the engine of my car.“Is it possible then that they have no relationship with each other? I don’t think Racken would let Cassandra and their son live away from him.”I clenched my jaw after hearing ‘their son.’ I don’t like it. I can’t take that Cassandra had a bastard.What’s something in that fucking Racken that she let him fuck her, huh? She even let that fucking man get her pregnant. I can’t understand.I smirked irritably.“I don’t care about them anymore. I just want her to pay me for the damages she caused by leaving me years ago. If she’s being fucked by that Racken, then so be it. I don’t even fucking care about her.”I gritted my teeth and then shook my head. Imagining Cassandra and Racken kissing in the middle of the night, whispering sweet words with each other,
Cassandra’s POVRouge caressed my waist softly as he whispered those words in my ear.He demands payment because I breached the contract. But I did that also for him as he wanted to marry Rachel from the start, and the only thing stopping him from doing that was because he was married and mated to me.“Was that what you also wanted and planned? To divorce me so that you could marry your lovely Rachel?” I asked, my chin up, not letting him take control over me.His hand tightened on my waist.“You don’t know what you’re talking about, Cassandra.”“Believe me, Alpha. I know every single word I’m saying.” I had to retract one step when he closed our distance more, even when my back already hit the back of the door. “Does your wife even know you’re here, in the house of your ex-wife, holding her waist and pressing your body to her as you demand payment for something that already happened seven years ago? ”I could say that my words had him in his heart. I saw him clench his jaw, indicatin
Rouge’s POV She’s got a son, and his father is an Alpha. How stupid I am to even think that that child is my son. What we had in the past was nothing but for the contract we signed and agreed with. I clenched my jaw as I loosened my necktie and threw it on my swivel chair. I have just arrived in my office while Rachel and some of our guards went to the hospital to get her checked. She wanted me to join her, but I refused to. My mind is going elsewhere, and I’m still stuck with the idea that Cassandra has a child, a son whose father is not me. “Do you think Alpha Racken is the father of Cassandra’s son, Alpha?” Lester, my beta, asked as he followed me inside my office. I sat on the couch, closed my eyes, and massaged my neck. I groaned when I felt a little pain there. “I don’t care about his father’s identity, and I don’t need to know about it. It’s none of my business, and I’ll just waste my time thinking if that damn Racken is his father.” Irritation is visible in my tone
Rachel and Rouge were shocked by what they witnessed. Rouge then directed his now sharp eyes to me. “His eyes are red, meaning he’s got an Alpha power. Who’s his father, Cassandra? Why does he have that kind of power at such a young age? Only the Alpha bloodline may possess that power. So answer me, who's his father?” Rouge asked me, emphasizing each word. I touched Hector’s hand and forced it to close down, then put him behind my back. I shake my head on Rouge. “You—you don’t know him, Alpha Rouge. But…” “Do I care if I know that man? I just want to know what the name of his father is and why he has an Alpha power. ” “Because his father is an Alpha,” I said, which startled him; his eyes remained on me. Rachel chuckles nervously. “Liar! What are you trying to say, huh? That he’s Rouge’s son? You liar fucking bitch!” “Cassandra?” I wanted to deny Rachel’s accusations if only someone didn’t call my name. I turned around only to see Alpha Racken in his full black suit, remo
