Chapter 26

Jenna's POV 

"Nope. That's the whole point about why Liza didn't want to make it official with me and why she used strong perfumes after our make out to hide my scent on her." He paused. "She was aiming for the King fish in the ocean!" 

"Her parents died when she was young and she's been here all our lives. I always knew what she wanted and still believed I could have a Happily Ever After with her. I was the foolish one here." He looked embarrassed of his past. 

"So it doesn't hurt now? At all?" 

"Uh-huh, I'm so happy without her. In fact, I'm still considering submitting my sperm to an IVF center, hoping that they would make the beautiful mistake they made in Jace's case. Maybe I could also get lucky." Cracking up, I slapped him playfully. 

Our conversation became funny after that. Oakley shared his childhood with me, and some things from Jace's past— About his past and that my husband has been a huge playboy. Hearing his stories, I felt thrilled. I wonder how someone like him could be so loyal and honest to me! Men who are accustomed to enjoying adventure every night with a new woman don't settle for one person for the rest of their lives. 

They love the thrill. 

"BTW, I heard something about that Ex of yours." My thought was fragmented by Oakley's remark. 

"He got married to that wítch? It was long coming." It was my turn to shrug carelessly. 

"That happened, but something else happened too— she's pregnant."

"Woah, really? How, I wonder. Last I checked, his sperm count was extremely low. That is why I had to opt for IVF." 

He gave that sweet smile again before his face became serious, "Rumors have it that she's quite far along." 

I popped a chip in my mouth, "How far?" 

"They say she's about eight months."

"Eight months..." I went quiet as I silently began to count the time. 

My wolf growled as I counted. It's clear as water, right in front of us that he cheated! 

Jared was six months old right now. If she had conceived after me, she would be five months or something along. If she's eight months along, it means it happened when I was in my seventh month. 

"She was already pregnant while I was still married to him." I muttered as my hands clenched. "That's why he was so eager to make me look like the unfaithful one... So he could marry her and be the father of his legitimate heir after my exile."

"He didn't want me even if I was his mate because of that child. The one in my belly was another man's and he didn't want it in front of his own. That bastård. I will destroy him."

Oakley immediately touched my arm, "Don't let it get to you, Jenna. You're in a better place now, aren't you? Why bother thinking about him! He's not that important."

"He's not important, Oakley. But he accused me of carrying another man's child and ruined my reputation in that pack. He ruined my image all while he's the one who was cheating on me." I got up angrily. "I waited all this time because Jared was still very young and fragile. He's old enough to stay without me. I'll execute my revenge now."

"I think it's time he experienced what it feels like when you're humiliated publicly and ripped off your title, and thrown out." 

"You're scaring me, Jenna." Oakley blew out a breath. 

"Why are you so worried, Oakley? I'm not going to do anything that would bring problems for Jace or the kingdom." We departed to our respective rooms after that. 

Jared was with mom. He was playing with her. I left them alone and went to my study room. It's in the adjoining room having Jace's study. 

I opened my laptop and began to study Chris' pack. 

This time I'm certain. I'm not going to spare him and his doctor. A flood of humiliation is coming for them. And I'm the one who will establish it.

Jace's POV 

Evening, 

The charity event was boring. This is one of those times when I had to force myself to be present, though my mind was elsewhere. 

Nevertheless, I have done this for so long that I am used to it. I smiled at people and pretended to be listening to them. When I got a moment alone, I sighed and gritted my teeth. I didn't want to be here, but duties come above everything else. 

'It's going to be over in five minutes. Why are you so pissed!' Ranley nagged me. 

I'm pissed because this was the most oppressive event of all time— the last few minutes. I couldn't wait for it to end. 

Luckily, when it did, I hopped into my car and on my way home. I pulled out my phone to call my wife. The phone's piercing ringtone filled the air before I dialed her number. 

"Yes, Oakley." 

"Dude, your wife is finally thinking about revenge on her Ex."

My lips curled up in excitement, "Finally! I can't wait to see her kick his àss. Last time she was neither strong nor was I there to watch it. This time I'll take the front seat with a big bucket of popcorn."

"Are you for real, Jace!" My beta grunted. "She scared me, you know. The way she was talking about revenge when I told her about Chris' new wife being pregnant, it was frightening."

"That's what I love about her. She can be both— sweet and frightening."

"You're not serious, right. How can you be so cool about it? A woman executing revenge can lead to so many problems. Why don't you take care of him for her?" He made me frown. 

"Oak, buddy, I didn't wait all these months to do it myself. You know I've got all the homework done. But I never touched Chris because I want to see what my Luna will do to him. He offended her, so legally it's her right to make him pay."

Oakley seemed in a mood to argue, however I cut the call and set my phone down. At home, I found my wife and mom in the living room. Jared was trying to crawl, they were encouraging him. 

When he saw me, he let out an excited cry and rushed to come to me.

"My handsome baby!" I lifted him and swung him around. 

"Look at that little brat. We've been trying to make him come to us but he won't move." Mom eyed me enviously. 

"But he literally glided on the floor towards him." Jenna narrowed her eyes while she hmphed. 

"Don't be jealous, ladies. We have a close connection. You won't understand." They both rolled their eyeballs as my son jumped happily in my arms, making me chuckle. 

After dinner, I attended a quick nighttime meeting with Oakley and other officials. Then I retired to our room to find Jenna standing by the window alone. 

"Where is Jared?" She turned. As my eyes settled on her face, a hot flood of desires ran through my veins. 

"Out there in the gardens, taking a stroll." 

Tbc…
