Zeta's POV"The Alpha says that he's no longer getting married to the Luna." Jen broke the news to me." What?" I asked in surprise. Out of everything that I expected Jen to say, I never thought that this could come out of her mouth."Tell me you're joking." I said." Unfortunately not. That's the news circulating in the pack right now. Everyone is talking about it. I decided to give you a heads up." She replied. There was no reason for her to lie about it."Why would he do that?" I asked."I don't know. Some people think he has a mistress that he wants to leave Luna for." She said that, and I shook my head.Annulment was a pretty big deal here, especially from a king to his wife. It was a big incident that deserved the headlines."Don't go out yet." She warned me, and I looked at her." Why?" "I overheard Tricia and Alicia saying that you are the one the Alpha wants to leave the Luna for, and they planned to beat you up.""That is shocking." Why would they think I am the one?" I que
Zeta's POVThe torment from the Queen and her co-wives caused me to fall sick lately. They sought every opportunity to make sure that I was downcast. I have become a recluse in my own home, at least what should be called my home.The painful part was that they behaved well when Darius was around, and when he turned his back, resumed their torments." Ma'am, please take heart. Why don't you report to the Alpha?" Jen inquired.It was a good suggestion but how long would it last? I have to get victory myself, he wouldn't always be around." Some battles are better won without help." I said, and she stared at me. I was sure that she had a lot on her mind but she decided not to say them. I was grateful for that.Not very long, I waltzed downstairs. I would not be treated like a slave in this house. Neither would I allow myself to be brow beaten." Make me some spaghetti." I told the head chef." Um..." He said, and I have him a commanding stare that shut whatever excuse he was about to gi
Zeta's POV" You're resuming your job on Monday." Damien informed me, on a Friday evening, when he returned from work.I sighed in relief. It was like seeing a cup of water in the desert.A great relief to my soul. An escape plan for me."Really?" I asked again. I couldn't believe my ears." Of course. As much as I don't like it, I want you to always be happy. If getting you a job will, then by all means, go on." He said, and I hugged him. How did I get so lucky with this man?" It's a construction company owned by one of my friends. You resume by 9am, and close by 4pm." He said, and I almost jumped for joy." The driver will take you to and fro. I won't have you jumping buses. If there's any delay, please call a cab." "Thank you." I replied, I was so grateful, and excited to begin a different life."You're so eager to leave the house, that says something." He said, and I tried to quell my excitement."Well, I've been bored out of my mind, and I need to earn a living for myself." "Th
Zeta's POV"Ouch!" I yelled when Jenny was massaging my body with a warm washcloth.I was aching all over from the pain inflicted on me last night. I couldn't walk properly. The servants watched as I was pummeled by three wicked women."Ma'am, I don't like seeing you like this." She said that, and I shook my head."Me too." I replied, yelping again, as she rubbed a soothing balm all over my body.The problem began when Damien finally served her divorce papers. She was very mad at me. Like I was the cause."I think you should report. It's getting out of hand." She said that, and I nodded.Last week I had to use foundation to conceal my black eye on my way to work.Last week, I also had food poisoning, no doubt due to their handiwork. I couldn't go to work. They made me miss work twice, which was bad for a new staff."I should. I don't want them to hurt my family." I confessed. "What do you mean? Alpha Damien will protect you from harm. Just tell him." She said."Okay, just go easy on
Zeta's POV.We boarded his private jet the next morning. Touchdown was at 12 p.m., and I was so excited to see a large expanse of land that I couldn't sleep.We were driven to a cabin. The weather wasn't cold. Jen assisted me in carrying the boxes into the cabin, where we were going to be staying.She and Adrien would be staying in one room, while Damien and I would be occupying separate rooms.We retired for a while before a housekeeper came in to make some food for us.Damien decided that we should visit the restaurant beside us since it was a warm Saturday."What would you like to have?" A waiter inquired."Any drink, non-alcoholic preferably.""Get me your finest whiskey." Damien and I chorused."Is there anything else you would like to have?" He asked"No." We chorused again, and we laughed. The patrons looked at us funny.I'm very sure. It was obvious that we weren't locals."Here you go, sir, and ma'am." He said."Are you ready to ride a horse?" He asked me."Yes," I replied, a
Chapter 11ConfrontationBelinda's POV"These are the divorce papers," Damien told me."Really, Damien?" I asked."Yes." "After standing by you, you decide to throw me to the curb for that, that tramp?""Don't speak about her that way!" He hollered. This was one of the rare times I saw him get very angry. Before Zeta's arrival, he would never have spoken to me in that manner."The earlier you come to terms with it, the better." He replied."I will never accept it." I said, "Then you leave me no choice but to send you out of the house." He said it, and I couldn't believe my ears. He was really serious about this issue."This is unacceptable; what happened to us being together forever? First you got multiple women pregnant at the same time, and now you want to leave me with nothing? You want to make me a laughing stock in the pack?" I said.If anyone had told me that a day like this would come, I would have laughed them to scorn."You are causing strife among the wives. You treat her
Damien's POV"What do you mean it's with Belinda?" I inquired."She borrowed it, but she'll soon return it." She said."Why did she borrow it?""Her phone is faulty, so she borrowed mine." She replied. I knew that she was lying; the question was, why?"I'll leave now." Jen said she stood for a minute as if she wanted to say something but decided against it.I made a mental note to call her later since Zeta had chosen not to speak the truth."Why weren't you at work today?" I asked, and she shrugged."I felt a bit feverish in the morning." She said."We are going to see a doctor first thing."tomorrow morning." I declared, and she whipped around to face me, holding the sheets tightly around her bosom."It's not necessary; I'm fine." She waved it off."Why don't you want to take care of yourself? I don't want to lose you.""You won't." She reassured me, rubbing my hands gently.******"Let me have your phone." I ordered Belinda. She looked like a deer caught in the headlights, and that
Zeta's POVWe spent a long time auditing and taking stock, as well as balancing the accounts of the pack.I was finally happy to put my knowledge to work since I was less busy. He wasn't able to travel the next day because of the weather.We spent time together; we took pictures together, which he posted, and this angered the minions.I was coming from the office when I saw Belinda's figure in front of my room. I didn't hear what she was telling Jen, but I knew it was something horrible."What is going on here?" I asked when I reached the room."Ask your whore for a maid. She spat."Don't call her that." I retorted, and she turned to give me a leveling stare."Like mistress, like maid." She said that and walked away.Jen was vibrating seriously when I entered the room."What happened, Jen?" I questioned."She saw me coming from the alpha's room, and she rushed to that conclusion." She explained, and it didn't make sense to me."How does coming out of his room equal promiscuity?" I inq
