Kendra stood by, watching her mate dance with her high-school sweetheart, Alexa. It didn't matter what he told her, she knew Alexa's presence would shake their marriage. Trapped in the hell of a marriage, she yearns to break from the shackles, by ending her life. But, her fate is different from her thoughts. She soon crosses paths with Alpha Lucifer, the most powerful and cruelest alpha in the whole of Europe. He offers her freedom and revenge against her mate and his mistress, in exchange for becoming his Luna for a year. Taken aback by his offer, she struggles to accept it, yet she finds herself being drawn to Him. Would she take the offer?
Kendra's pov
"You look amazing," my husband complimented.
Although he wasn't talking to me, but Alexa.
Everyone watched me through the corners of their eyes, as the atmosphere became uneasy. I could only see the shock on their faces.
"Are you alright, Luna Kendra?" Nicollete, handed me a glass of water
"Please," she offered.
How could I be alright? My heart was heavy, because my husband and mate, Alpha Ethan, was dancing with Alexa Gray, who was once his high school sweetheart.
Alexa giggled, as her eyes fell on me. A false smile crimped onto her face, as she pulled Ethan in for a tight hug, with her lips brushing against his neck.
It should be me, dancing with him. It was our three-year wedding anniversary, for heaven's sake?.
But, Alexa ruined everything by coming back to his life two weeks ago. My existence barely meant anything anymore to Ethan.
Alexa was his first love, and she had come back.
"Thanks Nicolette" I appreciated, holding my tears back.
When Ethan's father, Alpha Jude, urged him to find a wife, Alexa was obviously Ethan's first choice.
But, she bluntly refuses him, claiming to be in love with Alpha Greg from the Silver moon back. She broke up with Ethan and went to her lover.
I had concluded college at that time. A desperate and innocent twenty-three-year-old me, sensed Alpha Ethan as my mate at my graduation party.
Alpha Jude was overjoyed, and so was my dad.
I, Kendra Renor, heir of the Rainfall pack, married my mate, Ethan Blue, heir of the Revile pack, three years ago.
From the very first day, I stepped foot into his pack. I made sure to expand his business. After all, I majored in business back in college.
I corrected every error and loophole the Revile pack was facing, and their business has been blooming ever since.
A year after I got married, I lost my father to the cold hands of death, and both our packs were merged.
The moment, Ethan became the Alpha of the Revile pack, three months after his father's death.
Alexa came crawling back to him.
Ethan used to have unconditional love for me, until she returned.
Ethan's invitation for our three-year wedding anniversary, spread across to other Alphas, Beta and Lunas.
I strongly believed he held this party not in my favor, but to announce Alexa's arrival, giving her more value than me.
"Oh my! I have missed you alot, Ethan", Alexa said, as she jumped on him.
"I am here now, and I cannot even stay away from you anymore" she placed her head on his chest, while he enveloped her in a hug, patting her back.
She glanced over his shoulder and smiled at me again.
"I want to fix this too, just say what you want, Alexa". Ethan pressed his lips against each other.
My face turned red out of humiliation at his words.
What exactly is there to fix? I grinded my teeth as I got up from my seat.
If I didn't stop this now, my entire life, my whole marriage would be ruined.
I walked over to them, and forced a smile on my face.
I pulled Ethan away from her, and took my hand underneath his.
"I'm sure it would be difficult for you to accept it. But, Alpha Ethan is my mate and husband now. It's called husband and wife, not husband, wife and ex-lover. Understood Alexa?" I lifted an eyebrow.
"I think it's best if you resolve your issues with Alpha Greg, I'm I right, my love?" I turned to Ethan.
I refused to accept such a disgrace.
Alexa's eyes soon clouded with tears, letting out a loud cry, as she raced in between the crowds and ran away.
"Alexa!" Ethan yelled her name.
"My wolf, Inkit, kept kicking my head.
"I need to tear her apart, let me shift," she begged.
"Ethan" I whispered, suppressing Inkit.
"What you are doing isn't right" I said gently.
Ethan looked at me with deadly eyes, and stared blankly for a while.
He refused to speak to me throughout the party, but he still stayed till it was concluded.
Instead of him coming to our bedroom, he went straight to the guest room he had arranged for Alexa.
"Ethan". I went after him, he growled at me. I flinched, and he turned his back to me, going straight into her room.
The night became unnecessarily long, as I waited for him to come to our room.
I needed him, and so did Inkit. I found it difficult to sleep as I tried to suppress my urge for him.
I wanted to go to Alexa's room, but I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. I gasped while digging my fingers into my stomach. My eyes darted to different corners of the room, as I ran to the toilet, emptying everything I ate in the sink.
The pain reduced after a while, as I stared at my reflection, washing my face.
Tears had unknowingly run down my cheeks, my eyes had become red and my cheeks swollen.
I had this cold, lonely feeling within me, letting out a loud cry when realization dawned on me.
My pain wasn't caused by any sickness. Alpha Ethan had betrayed me, he had already slept with Alexa.
In the werewolf kingdom, the moment your Mate sleeps with someone else apart from you, after marking and claiming you, you encounter a sharp pain.
That was how the moon goddess punishes you.
I shouldn't be punished, the cheater should be punished instead. I am just a victim.
But, no one dared to question the ways of the goddess.
I wish Alpha Jude was still alive, he would have done something to make Alexa leave.
I felt betrayed and sad as I went to bed. I waited for Ethan to apologize the following morning, but he never even showed up, let alone apologize.
I couldn't let Alexa have the upper hand.
I thought of how to get Ethan back, as I had used a special scented soap for my bath, and wore a gamboge gown that appreciated my cleavage. It was Ethan's favorite color.
I let my long hair pour down, and combed out my long lashes, applying mascara to them.
Alexa was indeed stunning, but I was no less.
Even at that, I still found myself competing against her.
I walked through the dining hall, as I noticed the omegas staring at me with pity. I hurriedly had my breakfast and made my way to the guest room.
"I'm sorry Luna Kendra, you can't go inside" a guard blocked my path.
Two guards stood at the door, and they both lowered their heads in front of me.
"I am his wife, and your Luna. Let me in", I ordered.
He stuttered before raising his head again.
"My apologies, but the alpha ordered that we specifically can't let you in. He demands you make an appointment to meet him", the guard bowed.
"An appointment to meet my own husband?" I yelled.
I heard footsteps as I turned to find out where the sound was coming from. Beta Liam approached me.
"Beta Liam". I looked at him with hope.
"Tell them I need to see...." I was still talking when I heard Ethan's groans from inside. Fresh tears rolled down my cheeks.
My belly experienced another flow of ache, causing me to fall to the floor.
"Luna Kendra!" Beta Liam picked me up, taking me to my bedroom.
" I've sent for the doctor" he informed me before leaving my room.
