Chapter 03

I stood at my spot, transfixed at what I had just seen. I could tell she was just as surprised as I was seeing someone who looked just exactly like her and bore the same marks as her.

I had always had to hide the mark on my shoulder because my parents made me believe it was an abomination, even though I was never told why I had such. I always thought I was the only one who had such a mark in the entire world, but today I was proved wrong. Again, I felt even more insulted and disgusted that Leo had cheated on me with a girl who looked like me.

Zoey, clearly furious, walked up to the stage and snatched the microphone from the DJ's in order to get the attention she needed. "Zillion club doesn't support cheaters, you over there, how dare you kiss someone else's mate?"

The entire venue immediately went silent, and murmurs from the crowds filled the air.

"Why is she here?", "Why do they look so much alike? Who's the real Selene here?"

Hearing people murmur things like this, I realized that no one knew I was Leo's Luna and wife. Zoey immediately revealed my identity, determined to embarrass the cheater who had kissed my husband, but I was more concerned about knowing the truth and why the hell I and the lady looked so much alike.

I thought Leo would have even a little human sympathy for cheating, but I was shocked when he ordered the DJ to continue playing, and ordered everyone to go back to dancing. Funny huh? I was furious, and I could feel smoke coming out of my head as I knew I deserved an explanation for what just happened. I could still hear the murmurs of people as they gossip about what had just happened.

In my state of anger, and anxiety, the lady walked to me and extended her hand for a handshake.

"Hi, you're Selene right?" She said.

I didn't give her a reply, or take her hand. I simply continued to stare at her, wondering what was going on in her mind. She must be happy Leo had kissed her earlier.

"It's all a silly misunderstanding here. Maybe your husband thought I was you, and he simply just rushed to me before I could say a word to him."

That was impossible. Leo knew that breaking the mate bond between us would leave me weak, and in pain throughout the night. He knew I wouldn't be able to move for a long time so how could he mistake another lady for me.. although we looked so much alike, but there was still a lot differentiating us apart from the marks and the facial resemblance, and that was the fact that I still bore Leo's mark on my neck.

The mark was expected to fade away three days after the mate bond had been broken.

"I hope you don't take this silly mistake and joke as a real thing."

Zoey came to my rescue and pushed the bitch away from me. "Get away from her you slut! How dare you foolishly lie to her face?"

"Fine, we're just best friends okay."

She scoffed aloud, "There's everything wrong in kissing your best friend. Are you that cheap of a slut?" Zoey yelled back. I could see rage in the lady's eyes, and I had to speak up before she could hit Zoey.

"That's enough. If anyone is to explain what happened here, then it should be my husband." I said.

"Excuse me ma'am, there's something wrong? Please come have a look." A waiter interrupted Zoey in the middle of our argument. Zoey wanted to shun him off, but I prevented her from doing so and asked her to leave.

"I'll handle things from here, thank you Zoey."

She held my hand, "You sure?" And I shook my head. Because Zoey was gone, I guess she saw it as a better chance to intimidate me more. She came close to me again.

"Like I said, Leo and I were childhood friends. But, I couldn't believe he married an Omega when he told me. Now that you're standing here with me, I guess I understand why he married you."

I was made to understand that the reason was because we looked alike. She kept one hand on her waist, and continued to stare at me. "You really need to do more than this if you wanna keep your husband to yourself, Selene. If you're a Luna, then you need to act like one yourself."

My anger was nearly at its peak as she spoke to me, and my fingers were itching so bad to slap her hard across the face. My eyes grew so cold with anger, and I watched her step backwards from me till she was close enough to Leo.

"You don't have to stare at me like you're gonna strangle me. I'm sorry if my words offended you, Selene."

For some reason, Leo didn't seem to detect her malice and to him, it seemed like I was bullying her. She hid behind him, but gave me a malicious smile in return.

"I told you before, Selene, I want a divorce. The papers will be ready today, and once it's signed, you should get the hell out of my life. Whatever I do with my life from now on is no longer any of your business. Remember, I already rejected you Selene."

I had always been meek and subservient.

"If you have any issues with a prenuptial, you can discuss it with me later and we'll come to a decision. A scheming malicious and despicable woman like you does not deserve to be my Luna."

The words were like barbed wire, tearing at my heart with every syllable as tears rolled down my eyes. I was publicly humiliated by my husband, and the only thing I could do was stand there hearing the crowds tell the real story that I was never aware of.

It appears that Leo and Scarlett grew up together as childhood friends. However when she reached adult age, she left him and married another powerful Alpha who was her mate. This left Leo heartbroken for days until he found me 3 years ago at a party, and because I was his mate, and I looked so much alike the lady he loved from his childhood, he married me immediately so he could forget about her.

I also got to understand that was the reason Leo was always reluctant to introduce me to anybody in the pack.

"Why? Why are you doing this to me, Leo? I've done absolutely nothing to deserve this. I've always been a good wife to you, Leo so why?"

"Because the real woman I love is back. Scarlett here is my mate, and she's the Luna I want."

Those words shattered my every soul. He held her hand tight making my stomach churn in irritation as I stared at both of them

My wolf Lena was so furious, that I almost rushed at her and yanked her hair.

"You bitch!! How dare you try to destroy my home!" I yelled so loud and rushed towards her, but the moment I yanked her hair, she fell on the floor and passed out immediately.

"Are you crazy!" I heard Leo's cold voice which made me scared. Leo squatted down and carried her in his arms staring at me with cold eyes. "Le…Leo, please I'm begging you, don't leave me, please."

I suddenly felt a sharp and unsettling pain in my stomach, and fell on the floor holding his left leg. "Please, don't leave me. Don't leave our baby." I was only an Omega who had lived a poor life and maybe everyone believed I was after his money.

One of Leo's friends came towards me and pushed me aside from him, and I groaned in pain. I watched him sneer sarcastically as he stared at me,

"Was our love ever a joke to you all these years?"

He hesitated for a moment, but then firmly responded, "Yes,yes it was, Selene. I must have been blind all these years to have seen you as Scarlett's substitute and to ever think that you could replace her in my life, especially as a poor and lowly Omega."

All Leo ever saw was an Omega, and not his wife? I couldn't believe how heartless he was.

"Fine, I'm worthless, but not your child. Not our baby, Leo, please. Stay for our child if you need a reason to stay with me."

"Don't you fucking use that thing inside of you as an excuse to tie me down, Selene. I fucking know that child isn't mine. What was I ever expecting from an Omega without a good family reputation. I never want to see your filthy face near my pack house else, I'll decide the fate of you and that bastard of a child."

He called our child a bastard!!!

He turned around and began to walk away from me, while I heard people murmur about how stupid and desperate I was because of my status. Tears rolled down my eyes in uncontrollable quantities, and in my anguish, I shut my eyes, and lost consciousness hoping I would wake up from this horrible dream.
