SURROGATE MOTHER TO THE ALPHA PUP

One

The house was quiet like a grave, at least at a graveyard you hear the slow swat or breeze or you hear the chirping of birds but in this case the house was just eerily quiet. 

Trent’s car was in the driveway which means he was at home, probably came by to do something in his study. I headed to my room and dropped my handbag. Just one stare around the house had me thinking. I used to remember when my laughter mixed with that of Trent’s would bounce off the walls. 

We weren’t able to keep our hands off each other, grinning like fools while we stared at each other in love……or rather while I stared at him in love. I didn’t believe someone who do the things he was doing to me to someone they loved. Our marriage had looked like a match made in heaven.

But then he had changed. It all happened exactly Candice came back. Candice was his ex lover and he had opened up to me and told me he had loved Candice very much and insisted that he was over her but I couldn’t help but think of this was all because of her.

I wasn’t one to apportion blames but it was getting a bit frustrating. Trent doesn’t look at me the same way he stared at me when we got married. Before it had been genuine care and adoration and his eyes were filled wouu to cold familiarity and even……disgust, like he couldn’t stand him.

I keep asking what or where I had gone wrong to make someone who I thought loved me to hate me this much. He had waved it off and said I did nothing and nothing was wrong but he was just busy.

Another issue was why hasn’t named me his Luna yet. He had almost did, but exactly two days to when Candice came back in time he just didn’t do it. He kept postponing till I got tired of asking. He wouldn’t even stay in the same room with me. I sighed and kicked off my shoes and lay back on the bed.

Life wasn’t fair, I wondered what would make a man who used to at least adore me so much to turn into a cold, uncaring person…..to me. He is even friendly with his business partners, even his rival beta. But his reaction to my presence was enough to make me cry.

Maybe I was overreacting, maybe I was doing too much, maybe he was right, maybe he was busy. I thought of all the possible “Maybes” until I started to hear the sounds coming from Trent’s bedroom.

Was that a woman’s moan?

I was on my feet on her instant, her heart pounded like crazy. Let this be a freaking dream please. I rushed to his room and paused at the door to listen. It was indeed a woman’s moan I heard and the tone of the voice sounded familiar. For a minute I was so stunned at how far Trent has gone with his “Hating-Veronica” thing. Tears stung my eyes and my heart felt like it was going to stop. I would have run away but I scowled and pushed open the door. I was expecting what I was thinking but nothing prepared me for this……..

There on what used to be our matrimonial bed, was Trent and on him almost undressed was…..Candice?

“Candice?” I called and she turned and even had the nerve to flash a smile. Trent looked pissed.

“What are you doing here?” he asked getting to his feet and righting his clothes. I stared at him in disbelief, what did he mean by that.

“I live here remember. You and I are MARRIED!!” I yell and his dark eyes suddenly looked a shade darker.

“Well, news flash I don’t want you anymore slut. Can’t you see it, aren’t you perceptive enough. You have a wolf can’t she even smell that I no longer want you” he roared and I stared at him in shock. Trent hasn’t even said this to me since he seemed aloof but here he was about to cheat on me and still talking like it was my fault. Why even hurt was the fact that it was my best friend.

“Trent, why are you doing this to me? What did I do wrong?” I asked and Candice grinned, she didn’t even bother checking herself, it was she was openly showing me that she was rolling in the sheets with my man and didn’t care.

“Isn’t it obvious by now, dear friend. He doesn’t love you anymore. We love each other. No one is loving a cheap whore like you” she hissed and I just stared at her, too stunned to utter a word. Here was someone I once thought was my only and best friend. Have she forgotten the moments we used to have together, all we have been through together.

“How could you Candice?” I said, tears pouring down my face. She did a mock imitation of my crying face before smiling.

“How could I what? Why don’t you like accepting reality. He was mine all along, I am his, not some trash like you. Have it in mind you ain’t getting nobody” she said and my heart shattered.

“Yes” Trent agreed. He folded his arms and gave me the most hateful stare that I have ever gotten in y life.

“I no longer want you in my life Veronica. You’re……..what should I call it……..”

“Her services are no longer needed” Candice interrupted, purring. Trent grinned at her before turning to me.

“Right, you heard her…..your services are no longer needed Veronica” he said. I stared at him in surprise.

“What do you mean?” I asked and he flashed a charming smile, ironically the smile that used to make me go head over heels now made my heart beat faster.

“I want a divorce” he said and the tiny pieces that remained of my heart exploded.

“Divorce?” I whimpered and he nodded.

“Yeah” he shoved a paper in my hands, “Time to say good bye Veronica”
