Chapter 42

Jenna's POV 

"You think a child through IVF is shameful? You don't deserve to be an Alpha if you think that way, Alpha Chris." He ground his molars. "I had a child through IVF. All my three children are through IVF because during a war, I was kidnapped and they tormented me brutally. They injected me with stuff that damaged my ability to have a child. Did I think it's over now? No. That's why there is IVF. Someone out there is willing to help donate their sperm so you can get your own baby."

"Alphas like you berate IVF procedure and don't want your wives getting pregnant through sperm donation. But when your wife is the one who can't bear a child, you proudly go to knock up an omega for surrogacy. Hypocrite much." A Luna pointed a finger at him. 

More and more objected to Chris and his actions. I folded my hands and basked in it. He was growing pale and impatient at passing time. When Chris saw me enjoying his humiliation, he seethed, "You're enjoying this a lot, aren't you?"

"More than you can imagine."

"You're just jealous, Jenna. You couldn't get my child but she did. That's why you did this and what you did to my doctor. You're a jealous bìtch." A loud thunderous roar rolled off the room. 

Before anyone could guess it, Jace was pinning Chris on the floor. 

"You've humiliated my Luna enough. One more word and I will shred you to pieces." Jace clawed his face before he added, "This is for raising your voice in front of me."

I pulled Jace back. My cheeks heated up because he complied. Turning to me, he gave me an aggravated look, "He's calling you jealous. Why don't you just pop his bubble of misconception?"

"Yeah, right." I kissed his jaw to calm him down. Then I glanced at Sasha, whose shoulders stiffened when she saw me looking at her. 

"Will you tell him the truth or I do?" Sasha mewled like a kitten as if I was oppressing her. "You know what, it's okay. I'll do it."

I rolled my eyes and faced everyone again, "What my ex-husband has been proudly bragging about is not true— he can't make a baby, period."

"But this woman here... She made him believe that he could. She was never ever in love with Chris. She only came back for his money."

"Stop slandering my Luna, Jenna. Your problem is with me." Chris hissed as he held a hand to his ruined face. His white shirt was crimson.

I sneered at his words, "Your Luna? Haha, she's not your Luna, Chris. She's a con artist. She and her real husband... They target wealthy men. Sasha gets close to them. She makes them believe they're the love of her life, and gains their trust, and then she slowly gets access to their wealth. And when there is nothing left to take, she disappears with her husband."

"Shut up. Don't lie. I know my woman. She loves me." Chris protested while Sasha stood there holding her belly.

"I guess I'll have to present a proof for you. Pluto, bring that man in." Pluto nodded and brought a battered man with no shine in his eyes.

Seeing him, Sasha's steps faltered, "P-paul?"

"Yes, me. Are you terrified to see me here?" Paul unleashed a smile that bordered on anger and agony.

"Paul tells everyone the truth." I said and he told everything he told me.

I ran into him in the NightShade Pack when I went with Chris to frame Henry. Paul was looking for me, the old Luna, to tell me the truth about Sasha. This is because he heard how I was accused of cheating and thrown out with my baby. So he wanted to help me claim my rights back and give my child the house and title he deserved.

I was perplexed because this was the biggest revelation. Sasha was playing with Chris for his money. Then a little more digging and I found out about her real husband, and the fact that she was carrying his child, not Chris.

She might have planned to marry Chris when she learned that he was not happy with my pregnancy. She played nice. But evil doesn't always win. Good prevails in spite of all the darkness.

"S-so you lied to me, Sasha?" Chris asked her, his voice tear-smothered.

"Hear the truth from her husband." Jace said as a soldier pushed a man on the floor in the middle of the room.

He was badly beaten. Sasha's silence crumbled as she gasped upon seeing him. 

"Paul, darling. Oh no, no. Ohhh, they beat you so much. Ohhh." She cried, going on her knees beside him to hug him. 

Paul got on his knees and joined his hands in front of me, "F-forgive us, Luna Queen. W-we were blinded by greed." 

"Confess." I glared at him. 

He wiped his eyes and nodded, "It's true. We... We truck wealthy men. I send my wife to them and we steal their wealth. Since Sasha sleeps with all of them, we use their pictures and sęx videos to threaten them. That's how we managed to get away all these years."

"A-arthur, the new bodyguard? He's your husband." Chris snapped enragedly. 

Sasha cried against Paul's shoulder as she bobbed her head fearfully, "Y-yes. Paul is my real husband. Since you believed I was pregnant with your child and married me, I thought we should stop here. I was to stay with you as your Luna, hence I called Paul to come live with us."

"That's why you suggested I make him your bodyguard so you will get to stay together?!"

"Y-yes. That way I could be with my husband and our child without you knowing while we enjoyed your wealth." Sasha bit her lips. 

An uneasy silence stretched into the room. Everyone was disconcerted. Only Jace and I were amazed and delighted. Chris was crying. He still bled because his emotions were jumbled, and his body couldn't heal itself. That didn't unsettle me either.

I felt a little bad, but the joy I was feeling was enough to shout for.

"That's the woman you rejected me for. The reason why you rejected my child, didn't you? Chris stumbled back at my tone. "When she told you she's pregnant, you were relieved and excited for your own child. You thought it's yours. You stopped caring about me even though I was pregnant first."

He avoided my gaze, causing me to gnash my teeth, "How does that make you feel now, hmm? Neither is the woman yours, nor the child. You got nothing."

I felt a lump in my throat. I was in that spot six months ago— no family, no emotional support, nothing. Just me with my pregnant belly.

'At least he doesn't have a pregnant belly.' Gianna snickered. 'He has a useless dïck.'

Her words made me snicker too. I turned to Jace, "I am done. I just wanted everyone to know the truth. Whatever you do with him.... It's your choice, Alpha King."

Jace nodded. He placed a kiss on my forehead. Then he told me to go to mom and dad, who were holding our son.

"You're very happy now, aren't you?" I tickled his waist.

"He was missing his dadda and grand-dadda, Jenna." Mom twisted her lips as Jared was playing with dad's hair.

"I can see. The devil was missing the men." I faked anger but deep within I admired how Jared was jumping and screaming joyfully in his grandfather's arms.

Their identical hair shimmered bright platinum in the lights. They both were odd ones out, including my husband. When I turned to him, I saw him holding Chris by the collar.
