Selena’s POV.

“Thank the goddess, finally an heir for my son.” Brinny cried out excitedly as she rushed over to the girl beside Lucian without even trying to confirm who she was and how she got pregnant.

“You’ve done well Son,” she caressed Lucian softly before she turned to the girl and held her stomach, “this child is the future of this pack so from now on, everyone must accord you and this child with the respect you deserve.”

“A true Luna indeed, unlike some barren ones that sit with their head so high up in the cloud that they can no longer get pregnant again,” she shot back at me.

I remained rooted to my spot, staring right at Lucian without moving. Every single, hurtful word the Luna said didn’t get past me, and when I tried to move, I staggered and almost fell flat on my butt if I had not managed to stop myself on time.

No matter how hard I tried to speak, the words just wouldn’t come so when Lucian ordered the maids to escort the pregnant woman into the mansion to rest and the rest of us to gather for a meeting, I had no choice than to go along with it.

I needed to know what was going on, too. I needed to hear him explain because that burning sensation in my throat and the ache in my chest was choking me so bad that I could barely breathe.

“Lucian…” I whispered his name softly as soon as I was seated. Every single eye was now on me, I could tell they were all expecting a reaction from me while Brinny fawned over her son.

“Selena, I think it’s time you stepped down. I have found my true mate, and she needs to take the title of Luna.” Lucian said coldly, and a gasp slid from me.

All these years and the first thing he would say to me after returning home was something like that. Year after year of dedicating myself to his pack and I didn’t even get a warm regard. I have yearned for this day for as long as I can remember, but not this way.

“Yes,”Brinny’s sharp voice cut into my thoughts, “as you can see, a more suitable Luna has arrived, someone that really deserves to sit on the throne because she just successfully accomplished what you could never do in your entire life.

“Mom!” Katherine exclaimed, “this is not the time to do this.”

Ignoring everyone else that was in the hall, my eyes remained on Lucian, but what hurt me the most was that he was staring right into my eyes, and there was no emotion whatsoever, visible.

His eyes were cold and dark.

“Lucian…I…we….” I stammered heavily, so I had to pause, take a deep breath before I continued, “what is going on, Lucian? You’ve been gone for a while, and you just show up with her without an explanation or a …”

“And who are you to request for an explanation.” Brinny shot back, “last I checked, my son is the Alpha, you see, that’s the reason why you’ve never been able to get pregnant, you don’t think about the things that matter, it’s always about the ones that don’t.”

It felt like a knife was being twisted deep into my heart, my throat ached like someone had reached into it and ripped out my lungs, tears pricked at the corners of my eyes but I fought so hard and blinked several times to keep them back.

At least, I would ensure I didn’t cry in front of Brinny. That was what she had always wanted to see, and I wasn’t going to give her that privilege.

“I think it’s time for a divorce, Selena. we were never mates. We never had that kind of connection. What use is a marriage that can not bear anything out of it?” His expression was cold, and his eyes held no warmth at all.

“Anything? Really Lucian?” I asked, struggling to keep myself from breaking down even though my voice was already forsaking me.

“Like I said, Selena, there was no connection between us. How was I supposed to touch a woman that I wasn’t attracted to. You always paid too much attention to the pack rather than…”

“And that’s my fault?” I yelled, tears now sliding down my cheek as my heart began to beat wildly against my chest, “have you thought about the fact that maybe if you had stayed at home and carried out your duties as an Alpha rather than leaving everything to me, just maybe I could have been able to carry out mine as a Luna.”

“You never would have been able to carry out your duties regardless of my presence, you know why? Because you are barren Selena, and I am certain it is the curse of the moon goddess on me because you and I are not mates.” He spat with such venom in his voice and a glare in his eyes that I had never seen before.

I knew our relationship had its own flaws, but he was never this cold to me. He never looked at me with such hatred in his eyes before.

Holding on tightly to the necklace around my neck and wondering what had gone wrong, why he had changed?

“Lucian, we can work things out, remember this necklace,” I held it up for him to see, “you gave it to me to remind me of our…”

“I have never seen that necklace before Selena, so don’t bother, just drop everything and leave. The papers will be sent to you tonight, sign them without a fuss, please do it while I am still asking nicely Selena.” He added.

My chest felt heavy, like something had been placed on it, and it made it so difficult for me to breathe. How could Lucian do that to me? Years and years of hope and dedication, I dreamt of the day he would return home and show his affection, and this was what I got in return.

I gripped my chest tightly as I struggled to breathe. My vision was now blurred by my tears, and just when I thought nothing else could rival the pain and humiliation.

Taking deep breaths and shoving down the bitterness in my heart, I opened my mouth and forced myself to speak,

“If I agree to sign the divorce and leave, then I’ll walk away with half of the pack’s fortune.”
