VICTORIA
Getting married to the man I loved the most was the best thing that was going to happen in my life.
I gazed at myself in the mirror in my room and smiled.
Alpha Mike, my husband-to-be, was an alpha of a great pack in New York called the Moon Crescent Pack.
He was one of the sweetest men that ever lived, and even though he spoke rudely to me at times, I smiled and knew my man was going to change someday.
He is going to fulfill the promise he made to me to become his luna, and my alpha won't fail me.
I was dressed in a sparkling white wedding gown and a crown with my name inscribed on it—Victoria.
I am Victoria Luza, the daughter of the alpha of a powerful but a non-famous pack called the Ringscent Pack.
I was looking at my nice self in the mirror when I heard the door open.
"Hey sis," I said with a smile to Tiffany, my best friend, as she hugged me.
I called her my sister because she was there for me. Anytime I needed her, she was my best friend right from childhood.
"I hope the baby is happy for you," Tiff said, smiling as she bent down and rubbed her hands on my tummy. Of course, I am three months pregnant for my Alpha. She stood up and hugged me.
"The elders and family are waiting for you." I nodded, and then one question I have been wanting to ask suddenly came across my mind.
"Tiff, have you found your mate?"
"You will know him when the time is right," she smiled and left.
I was happy she finally saw her mate; she won't be the only one still single. She was really longing for a mate, and now she finds him, but then she sounds as if she found him long ago.
How secretive of her!
I sat looking at the people who came—the elders of my dad's pack and some of the wolves in my pack. I was really delighted to see them, even my parents.
We waited for Alpha Mike, but he didn't show up.
"The groom is nowhere to be found!" This statement pierced my heart deeply. There is no way this is impossible on this important day of our lives. My alpha can't be missing; this is supposed to be the happiest day of my life, and now my alpha can't be found?
What the hell is going on?
"We have been waiting for four hours now; where is Alpha Mike?"
Oh no! It seems my dad is getting angry. What should I do?
"Rina Should I be patient? What should I do?" I asked my wolf, Rina, as I was confused on what to do.
"This is getting embarrassing, Victoria," she said. "I think you should take to your heels and go look for him."
"Should I do that?"
"I think so; after all, I never liked him a bit," Rina rolled her eyes. I knew she never liked Alpha Mike, but that won't change the love I have for him.
I started tracking his number on my phone to locate where he was, and I got it.
I drove my car to the house and was so surprised that it was the one he promised that we would move into once I become his wife.
Gosh, thinking about it made me blush, but still, I wondered what he would be doing there.
Or is he preparing something nice for the wedding? Another thing crossed my mind—what an evil thought!
My alpha can't be murdered; oh, no, what am I even thinking? This thought raised my heart rate.
I started hearing voices from a room, and luckily for me, it was not locked.
I smiled and knew my alpha was in there; I opened it and saw what I saw.
"No, no, it can't be." My voice began to shake, and my eyes began to stiffen as tears flowed down my face.
Alpha Mike and Tiffany were kissing so passionately—someone I called my best friend?
Oh no, tell me what I am seeing is a lie; they were so into it as Tiff was half naked.
Tears flowed down as I fell to the floor. My body became weak due to the shock of what I was seeing, and I screamed so loudly as they jerked themselves up.
"Oh no, what's this fool doing here?" This statement came from someone I called my sister. My red eyes reached for her, and I began shedding painful tears. Is she, whom I called a best friend, still there? Someone I trusted with everything broke my whole heart into pieces.
Someone I called my sister was in the hands of the man I called my alpha, and he promised that I would be his Luna.
Not knowing I'd end up being betrayed by my best friend and lover,
"Alpha Mike, how could you do this to me?! What have I done to deserve this from you?!" I yelled with mixed emotions. He scoffed at my outburst like it meant nothing to him and the tears continued flowing from my eyes.
"Come on, useless, she is my mate, and you don't expect me to reject her because of a fool like you," he grabbed Tiff as they continued kissing. This pain of betrayal was so heavy for me to carry.
He promised me everything; he told me I was his one and only Luna. The pain I felt was so deep that I felt like dying.
I looked at my tummy, at my unborn child. I regretted the day I gave my body to him. I was so foolish to fall for his words. I took Tiffany's advice and slept with him, thinking he would thoroughly keep to his words.
"Hey, you can go abort that baby that you are carrying; it's a useless child since it doesn't have a father." Tiff growled and laughed as they continued in deep kissing and fell on the bed. Soon he began fucking her.
How dare she call my child a bastard? What type of life is this? This betrayal is worse than death.
I couldn't take this anymore; the pain I am feeling right now is too deep.
"Fuck you bastard! I trusted you with all my heart; I gave my everything to you—myself, pride, and dignity—a precious thing a lady would be proud of, yet you chose to dump me like this? You choose to betray me with someone whom I called my sister, my best friend, the one person I know as a confidant. How could you do this to me?! This isn't fair!" I yelled my frustrations out as they continued having fun with themselves, moaning and didn't even give a damn of what I said.
This pierced a deep hole in my heart.
"When you are done blabbering, you can leave! Me and my baby are having some fun," he continued, banging her. Looking at them made me too weak, so I ran out of there crying in deep pain. I got to my car, entered into it and dashed out of the house, speeding furiously along the streets of New York.
"Arrrghh!!!! Argh!" I shouted and wept as I banged the steering wheel of the car continuously.
All of a sudden, I felt a sharp pain in my stomach as I threw my gaze down and saw blood flowing in between my legs...
"Who's that?" That voice was really coming from John, immediately I made the pole stand and walked hastily downstairs.I succeeded in coming out of the room but he had come out of his room already, I ran my hands in my hair and entered my room then began to dress for work. At Least no one would suspect me, I would use this style and pretend that I'm going to work.I looked at myself in the mirror after I had dressed up with my suit and a ponytail styled hair. I came out of the room and took my breakfast then strolled towards my car, goodness I wondered why I felt so tired. Maybe it's the symptoms of pregnancy, I would be getting tired really often.After I reached the company I came down from the car and walked into the main building.Everyone bowed as I walked past them and also greeted them, I just gave a wide smile and that's all. When I reached my office, all of the colleagues present in the department stood up on their feet and bowed their heads.I was surprised by this warm
She rolled her eyes at me, as I could tell that she was already angry with what I just said and I didn't give a damn."And what makes you think you are special? You are no better than me dear, don't think I betrayed you, I mean it's not my fault that Mike was my mate and you caught us having sex, isn't that what mates should do?" I do really understand what she is trying to do, make me annoyed and trigger my dreadful past, and she succeeded.Remembering my past is like hitting my chest on a wooden table, it's something I do really wish never to recall.I shook my head of the thoughts, it's very wrong of me trying to bring the past to a clean present and a bright future. I mean that is stupid of me, even my pup won't like it, thank goodness i met my real mate, I wonder what kind of mess I will be now. "Your betrayal thought me a fatal lesson Tiff, and thanks for that, it changes me and opened my eyes, I wish you happy life in your marriage with my ex husband or sorry, ex husband to
"Moses, are you alright?" I asked with concern laced in my voice as he was taken back and checked his eyes on the transparent window.Then he shook his head as he opened his eyes again then he turned to me, it was gone already, back to his normal eyes. This shit is scary."I'm okay though, my eyes change every time, but not frequently" he said as I nodded my head."Victoria, you should.take rest" he paused and continued. "And you" referring to the maid. "Make sure you go buy fruits, we are expecting an heir" he said as he bowed her head then he left, I didn't know why that made me smile. An heir? Without a loving father? "Ma'am" she came closer to me and tapped my shoulders."You shouldn't worry about Brendon at all, and focus on your child, I'm sure he is going to feel it and come back home...""It still baffles me, he doesn't pick my calls and he doesn't...""No, Victoria don't let that way you down, be happy you have a little one inside of you, a little Victoria in there, the r
John's pov "Listen to me, I'll be back okay?" He said with hastiness in his voice as she nodded her head. He ran out of the apartment As he entered his car and zoomed off. He began to call Brendon but he wasn't picking up his call, he got angry as she slammed his hand on the steering wheel. When he reached the hospital he came down and rushed inside the building as soon as he sighted Moses he ran to his place."How is she now, what even happened?" I asked as he ran his hands into his hair, he then sighed before he responded"She is pregnant" He released the bombshell as I opened my eyes widely.I really couldn't believe it and how was I going to tell Brendon about this news? "She fainted, so I took her to the hospital and this was the news I heard" "How do you think Brendon will take the news?" "What do you mean by that? Victoria is not a wore, and I'm definitely sure Brendon would accept it but though it's too soon" "So where is she now?" I asked as he pointed at the room o
I sat frozen for a moment, my mind racing with questions. Who was this person? What were their intentions?But I couldn't stop now, not when I was so close to uncovering the truth.I knew I had to tell Anita, the secretary and confidante. But as soon as I mentioned the news, she shook her head vigorously, her eyes wide with disbelief. "No, that can't be possible! No one can change the rules, but is there a problem?" she exclaimed, her voice tinged with panic.I tried to calm her down, to explain the situation in detail. But the more I spoke, the more anxious she became. I could see the worry etched on her face, the way her hands shook as she reached for a pen to take notes.But then I had a sudden realization. What if telling Anita was a mistake? What if I was putting her in danger? I needed to protect her, even if it meant keeping the truth from her."I think it's best if I leave now," I said softly, standing up from my chair. "If anyone asks about our conversation, maybe Moses can
As I looked at her, I could see the shock written all over her face. Her eyes widened, and her mouth formed a small "o" as if she had just seen a ghost. I felt a surge of anger rising within me. I wanted to send her out of my office right away, but I knew it would make me look childish. Instead, I decided to use her as a scapegoat.She had the audacity to challenge Victoria Luza in the hallway, as if she had any power in this company. I could hear her voice echoing through the corridor, threatening to make my life a living hell. I couldn't believe the nerve of this woman.But now the tables had turned. I was the one in charge, and I would make sure she regretted ever crossing me. I smiled to myself as I thought of the ways I could make her suffer.As I watched her standing there, so clueless and ignorant, I couldn't help but feel a sense of disgust. People like her, with such low intelligence and lack of decorum, deserved to be put in their place."You can take your leave now, Anita,"
I rushed to her place and threw a punch at the man, he tried to punch me back but I used my wolf powers to fling him to the floor. He groaned in pain as I breathed heavily and grabbed her hands, leading her quickly to the car. She sat down, already scared. "Are you okay?" I asked. She nodded silently. I opened the door and she climbed in. I wanted to ask her who the man was but I held back, knowing it might remind her of her past. Her tears told me there was no need to disturb her further with questions. I started the car and drove back to the apartment, sighing as I climbed out. I opened her door and helped her step out, then led her inside. Once we were safely in the apartment, I spoke gently.As she reached for the groceries bag, I instinctively held on tight. "No, it's fine sir," she insisted. But I couldn't let her carry the heavy load alone. Without a word, I took the bag and walked her to her doorstep. Opening the door for her, I followed her inside and headed straight to
"What?" she exclaimed loudly, her voice cracking as tears streamed down her face. She grabbed my collar and slammed me against the wall, her fingers digging into my flesh. I tensed up, ready to defend myself, but I knew I couldn't hurt Brendon."Where the fuck is he?" she spat with malice, her eyes blazing with anger. She tightened her grip on my collar, pulling me closer to her face. I could feel her hot breath on my skin.I sighed sadly, my shoulders slumping. I knew I couldn't tell her where Brendon was. He was at a hotel, but I didn't want to risk angering my sister and ruining our relationship."I don't know, sis I'm telling you the truth " I said, my voice barely above a whisper. I could feel her rage building, her body trembling with fury. She pushed me away from her, sending me sprawling on the ground."Who the fuck is your sister?" she snapped, towering over me. "A quick reminder, little boy: I am your queen. Don't fuck with me. How can you not know where he is?" She turned t
"This can't be happening. Am I dreaming?" I muttered under my breath, trying to make sense of what was unfolding before me.Out of nowhere, my sister Josephine threw a handful of sand at my face and took off running into the nearby woods. The shock of the attack left me weak and I stumbled, falling to the ground as I tried to clear the sand from my eyes."Josephine?" I screamed as I let out a cry of despair. This wasn't the life I wanted for her. How had she become an assassin? She was supposed to be in Germany with her abusive husband, and I had promised to save her before I was forced to flee to New York. Why was life so unfair to us?As I watched Josephine's swift movements, I couldn't help but notice how she moved with the precision of a trained killer. Who had turned her into this? What was their endgame? I shuddered at the thought.Suddenly, I remembered a conversation I had with Ralph, and a sense of dread washed over me. He had known Josephine's true purpose all along and had
