Chapter 03

A FEW DAYS LATER.

If anyone had told me that the almost perfect life people believed I was living would come to an end one day, I would have laughed at their faces.

A week ago, I had handed Liam the seal of the blue mountain pack which finally completed the merging of the silver crest pack and the Blue mountain pack, but that was my regret.

Liam didn't keep to his word, and the pains didn't go away. They were getting worse, making me believe that Liam had always been with Aurora for two years. That was the reason for all my pains in the beginning.

Now that he was the Alpha of the two packs, I was left with nothing but the baby in me, and my husband,

    “When are you going to send her away, Liam. I've had enough of that bitch in this house. I can't stand that you have to attend some pack meetings alongside her and not me.” That was Aurora’s voice.

I guess she was now part of the pack because Liam had lifted her banishment. No one knows the endless pain and battle I had to go through every night when they were together and I always prayed that the pain wouldn't make me lose my baby 

There was nothing I could do than watch my marriage slowly crumble and my pack gone. My father would be so disappointed in me if he knew that I had sacrificed everything for the man I loved with all my heart.

    “Everything's going to be alright soon, love. I just need Kylie's help with one last thing, and it'll be over. She's handling a really huge project with Blood Moon Pack, and it's going to leave a huge impact on my pack. Trust me, she has no other choice than to help me.`` I heard Liam's voice and scoffed aloud,

He was right. I always ended up helping him. That was just how much I loved him.

When he kissed her, I groaned in pain. The pain I felt in my heart whenever my husband was making out with another woman,

Hearing me, they both cocked their head backward to stare at me, and Liam rose to his feet,

   “You're here.” He said and I nodded my head,

    “Luke told me you wanted to see me?” I responded trying not to make my pain so evident,

For hell sake I was carrying his child and yet he was treating me like I had no worth. Why do this to his baby too? Why put us in so much unbearable pain when this child could give him so much?

What was wrong? What was I not doing right?

   “There's a pack party tomorrow, and Aurora’s going to be escorting me as my Luna.”

    “What? What about me?”

    “You're going to be there too, and you'd be coming with Luke. There's going to be a very important guest, Alpha Damon Donovan, and we have to give a good impression if I want a good corporation in the future.” 

My father always told me about Alpha Derek and his son Damon. Unfortunately, the Alpha had lost his wife to an unknown illness when his son was only five years old. No one deserves to lose their mother at that young age. I was talking because I knew what it felt like. I had lost my mother when I was five too, and I knew what her absence brought to my life. The amount of pain I had to go through at that age without my mother.

   “I won't go if I'm not going with you, Liam. You can't treat me this way. There's a clear difference between a Luna and a mistress.” I mustered up courage and yelled, but after this, we began to hear little sobs,

    “I know I'm just your mistress, Liam. Why don't you go with her? Kylie’s right, I'm only a mistress and nothing more.”

Hearing this, I scoffed out loud. It was obvious she was trying to get his pity and to my surprise Liam fell for it,

    “Call her that again and that would be the last time you ever get to use your tongue.” He fired back angrily at me. 

     “It's unfair how you treat me when you know that I'm carrying your child Liam, for goodness sake I'm the one carrying your child.” I yelled, leaving Aurora extremely shocked. That was what I wanted. I couldn't hold it back in anymore. I couldn't hold back the fact that I desperately wanted to let her know I was carrying his child so she had to back off. 

What I didn't expect in return was Liam's violence as he raised his hand and landed a slap across my face leaving me extremely shocked,

The next thing, Aurora took off running and whimpering,

   “If this gets out of your mouth again, I swear with the moon goddess, I'm going to kill that bastard in your womb.” I gasped aloud and watched as he ran after Aurora, leaving me extremely shocked with tears rolling down uncontrollably. What did I do to deserve all of this?

Was loving him a sin?

Was this my punishment for forcing myself on a man who didn't want me three years ago? 

I gently began to rub my stomach, apologizing to my child for everything. I felt so sorry that he or she would grow up without the love of a father. Things were really out of my control and I couldn't do anything to keep it under my control. At this point, I didn't want to admit that I had lost my husband, my marriage and my pack for good.

It was obvious that Liam loved Aurora way too much and I would never be a match to her in his heart. It was so obvious that I had lost completely so I had to focus on one thing, getting my pack back before leaving this marriage.

I had to get back the one thing my father left to my care before he died,

   “Luna.” Luke's voice snapped me out of my trance and I cocked my head left where he was standing,

I rubbed the tears hanging on my lashes and sniffled,

    “What's wrong?”

    “The last part of the contract has been signed with the Blood Moon Pack. Alpha Damon wishes to meet you at the pack's party tomorrow in order to inquire about some information. He sent this along with the message.”

I couldn't believe it. What I had worked so hard for was finally becoming a reality, but the sad thing was that I was no longer Alpha of my pack. Liam was, and if everything goes as planned, Liam would be the one benefitting instead. I had to meet up with Alpha Damon if that meant me going to the pack's party too. 

I collected the envelope from Luke and forced on a smile,

    “Would you like to be my date at the party, and Luke?”
