2024-10-29 19:42:56Raven's POV
I looked at him, then at her.
“Hi, sister—” Lila, my sister, interrupted my thoughts and rushed to hug me. “It's been two years. You don't know how much I missed you.”
She let go of me while I just stared at her. She was seriously sick years ago, shouldn't she be recuperating at a human hospital now?
She was well-dressed with a full face of make-up. I, on the other hand, had a simple shirt and jeans, and nothing else.
I had stopped applying make-up, ever since I got pregnant.
Suddenly I felt very uncomfortable.
“Why are you here?” Rune's voice interrupted my thoughts again. I looked up to see him with his hand on Lila's shoulder.
Was he kidding?
“Why are you here?” I shot back instantly.
“Isn't it obvious?” he asked, then looked at Lila, who smiled up at him.
I hated the thought of me that they really looked like a cute couple.
“Lila was transferred from the human hospital to the Pack's hospital three weeks ago, Raven.
I only came to pick her up and take her home.”
I scoffed. Of course.
How silly of me to think he actually came to see me.
He has been prioritizing Lila a whole lot since she was sick, after all, she was his first love.
“Your father sent for me, in case you don't know,” he added, not surprising me.
“He asked me to take her home.”
I nodded, unsure of what to say. It was Father.
Always him caring more about Lila than me. It
was evident in everything he did.
Lila attended the best high school and university in the country, while I was stuck in the local schools.
She was catered to and babied, while I was ignored for most of my life.
“It's always been about you, Lila,” I muttered with a sarcastic smile. “Father loves you more than me, doesn't he?”
Suddenly, a blinding slap hit me across the face. I staggered back in shock, staring at Rune.
I watched him take his hand away from my face, with a smirk on his face.
“How dare you be harsh on your sister, Raven?" He snarled. "She just got back from the hospital.”
“And where did I get back from?!” I shouted, not caring if anyone saw us.
“You should be here with me. I did not impregnate myself, did I?”
I glared at Lila, who was still shielded by him, then back at Rune, who looked indifferent.
“I don't care Raven!” he shouted, his voice harsher than mine. “Lila's not feeling well!
You've got Aella with you and you've always been healthy. Nothing's gonna happen to you and the babies!"
“Oh, really? is that what you think?" I snapped back.
"Why are you always so irrational?" Rune retorted.
"And why are you always so heartless?"
Rune let go of her shoulder, aiming for me again. There was rage on his face, and fire in his eyes.
Suddenly, someone coughed from behind. He stopped and turned around to see Lila, her hand on her head.
“I don't feel good, Rune. I want to go home,” she cried, coughing again.
She reached for Rune, who let her lean on his shoulder.
Rune looked at me with anger in his eyes.
"We shall continue this conversation at home," he uttered, then walked off with my sister.
*********
I stood in the kitchen a few hours later, chopping cabbage with a knife as if I was trying to tear it apart.
I tried hard to forget what happened at the Pack's hospital earlier.
How had I married a man who was so obviously in love with my sister?
What came over me?
Why did I believe we would get better with time?
I continued to chop the cabbage, holding back my rage. How could he do this to me?
Why can't he see how much I love him? Why can't he let go of the love he has for my sister and focus on me, his mate?
I sighed, letting go of the cabbage and sinking into a nearby chair.
Marrying Rune without being certain of his love was a mistake.
But I believed the feelings would grow, especially since we were mated by the moon goddess.
Why does he still love Lila? Two years with me was enough to get over her!
These thoughts swirled in my head as I got up and left the kitchen.
My phone rang as I walked into my room. Lazily, I picked the call and placed the device to my ear.
It was the doctor who had checked me earlier.
"Hello, doctor," I greeted.
“Lady Raven,” he started.
“I forgot to tell you this before you left. The test showed that your blood pressure level is dangerously high.
You think and worry too much, which is bad for the kids.
Once they are lost, it will be hard to have twins again, and even if not, it will take long before you can conceive.”
"Th... thank you for this information," I murmured.
"Yes. Take care." The call ended, and I placed the phone on the bed.
I waited for Rune to come back in the night.
Hours later, at 11 p.m., the door opened, and Rune staggered into the house.
From where I sat on the bed, I could smell the alcohol on him, heavy as a mist.
“We need to talk, Rune." I started.
"I have made a decision.”
He stopped suddenly, standing in front of me.
“I—” I started, but he grabbed me. “We need to talk, Rune—”
His lips on mine cut me off. I didn't want this. Not now. I don't love him.
Not anymore. Especially since I've made up my mind on what to do.
The kiss was so passionate that I felt myself giving in to him. My hands went up and slid into his hair, holding on.
Then, he tore off my clothes and slid inside me. It was violent, and I feared for the children inside me, hoping they would be unharmed.
When it was over, Rune collapsed on the bed, and I glanced down at myself. Tears slipped from my eyes, seeing the bruises he had left on my body.
As if slapping me wasn't enough, he had to treat me like trash. I glared at Rune with rage and hate.
And once again, I had failed to tell him my decision about the divorce.

Raven's POVI opened my eyes and stretched out my hand. Rune was not on the bed beside me.Where was he?His side of the bed was rumpled. Oh so he had left.Why should I care where he went? I sat up with a sigh. Glancing down, I saw that I was still very naked. My clothes lay in a pile on the ground.My thoughts drifted to Lila again. Maybe he took her with him to my parents' pack.Where else could they be?I jumped to my feet and wore some clothes. I was headed to the door when my eyes caught a picture on the dresser. A picture of myself and Lila with our parents. We were thirteen years old.I stared at the picture, at the smiles that brightened our faces then. Where had it all gone wrong?How did things get this bad?Was it wrong to take in an orphan as my sister? Tears fell from my eyes as I wondered.Why was I thinking about this?Lila used to be an orphan, pitied and given much attention. I cared for her a lot, and sometimes overlooked the things she did. Maybe that was why

Raven's POVI turned to look at the confused maid. I rushed to the drawer, opened it, and found something even more shocking.Not only had Lila taken Rune from me, but she had also copied my lifestyle. The clothes in the wardrobe were the same as mine, and even the makeup brands were identical.How was this even possible?What was she thinking?What the hell did she plan to do?“My lady, are you okay?” the new maid asked.I didn’t respond, turning back to the closet before me. My breath shook with the effort to hold back tears.Why do I feel so insecure? Lila and I used to wear similar dresses to make people believe we were twins for fun. She used to borrow my things, because we were sisters. And now that we are grown-ups. I didn't expect her to still do this. It was as if she was trying to be me!Leaning against the wall, I wondered how I'd allowed all of this to happen. Why would she do this? Why did she want the man I loved so bad? Why would she do this to me?I stared at the

RAVEN POVThat night, my wolf demanded that I calm down and rethink my decisions. I laid on the bed in the guest room, my heart filled with thoughts and questions.“Did you not force me to speak those words yesterday?" I asked, a sigh escaping my lips. "We both know I didn’t mean them."“I know,” my wolf replied calmly. “But I think you should take some time to think before making a decision. Rune is our mate, after all."What did I want exactly? Did I want a divorce or not? I asked myself this over and over. I stood up from the bed and looked at myself in the mirror, staring at the shadow of myself.Rune had reduced me to a mere figment of what I once was. But he had been my first love. My first everything!After much thought, I decided to speak with Luna, Rune’s mother. She might help me make up my mind and tell me what to do. She was the only woman who cared for me more than even my mother. And above all, I knew she would not convince me to make a decision that would harm me. No

Raven's POV“Raven, you need to calm down,” Rune said. His voice was desperate, but he had his temper and tone under check.Like he always did. He looked at me and I saw the indecisiveness in his eyes. The pain had started to creep into his eyes slowly. “You're not sure you want to do this…”Now I let out a chuckle. “What do you think, Rune? That I am not an Alpha also? In case you don't know, I could be an Alpha in my Father's pack, especially when I am the only biological child.”I folded my arms across my chest as I watched his face contort with discomfort.“So yes,” I said this time more fiercely, “I reject you at this moment as my mate. I will not have anything to do with you starting from this moment!”Without waiting to hear what he will say next, I turned and walked towards the door. I heard him try to say something, but stopped talking. Tears sprang to my eyes and my heart ached. But I couldn't let my agony show. “There is no need to stay any longer. I'll pack my things
Alpha's Regret: Chasing My Forsaken Luna Chapter 7
RUNE’S POVRaven had left me. It was still difficult to make peace with. The first few days had been terrible. The pains that had left my body weak had been unbelievable.The pain of rejection hit differently…more strongly.I could not transform into my wolf form without intense pains and the feeling of loneliness gnawed at me all day and night. A few times, I'd come to the point of breaking down from the pain, but the moon goddess had been merciful and had seen me through the torment of rejection. Now I could only wonder what I must have done wrong to get Raven out of my life. I didn't want her gone. I didn't want to only have memories of her and not her presence. But she was gone. I stopped pacing and relaxed on the bed. My thoughts were drifting already. Did she really mean it when she had said the babies were lost? I thought about it, automatically sitting up on the bed. What was going on? I was on my feet and pacing the space, thoughts of the fact that I may have lost two babi

RAVEN POV Days passed, and life was never the same. Somehow, it looked like life in the pack of my husband's people was better, even though that was a lie. The only difference was the population and how I saw a member pass by the window of the room I shared with Rune. I had sent several application letters to the company I'd love to work with, away from my family's pack but I was yet to get a response.I'd checked my email several times and had not received any email yet. I checked once again during the day and sighed.“Help me, moon goddess. Make my burden less and grant me strength through this. Let me get this acceptance email,” I whispered softly.All that mattered to me at this point was working in one of my dream companies. I had applied at two of them since I was in the Illelth Pack, and it was as if I knew a day like this would eventually come. I was done with my moment at the screen of my laptop. My legs jumped on their feet and I observed my pregnancy routine, exercises
Alpha's Regret: Chasing My Forsaken Luna Chapter 9
RAVEN POV It was only a week since I left The Illeth Pack. As usual, Mother and Father put up the usual attitude and I did the same, not caring about them, but that of my future. How could they understand me when they focused mainly on the woman who isn't their daughter, talking more about being a relative? It was another morning. I concentrated on the screen of my laptop. It had been a month since I applied for a job in these companies, and there was nothing to show for it. Was I supposed to be here for the rest of my life? I wondered with a sigh that ran out of my mouth, picking up my phone and checking through my bank app. The money in it was still much, and I would rent an apartment when I was ready to move out. With a smile on my face, I got on my feet and grabbed a towel from the wardrobe before heading to the bathroom for my bath this morning. While at it, I could hear the sound of my phone beeping. The impact of everything was beginning to tell me too much. With the babi

RAVEN POV I came to an agreement with doctor Martin and then made my way out of the hospital. The sun was high in the sky and the heat made me eager to get back in the car. But then I caught a glimpse of someone. The man who had saved me and by extension, my babies, from getting hurt. “Ma'am Raven?” he called as I stood watching him. I snapped out of my thoughts, meeting the gaze of Aella who touched my shoulder. “Is everything okay?” She asked me and I nodded, giving a signal and asking her to wait for me in the car. “Hi, good to see you.”He was closer now. He had a smile on his face.“Good to see you too, my lady,” he said with genuine interest in his eyes as he took one fleeting look at me. “I hope you're doing good?”“I am very well, my lady,” he nodded and looked around. “You came to check on the babies, didn't you? I hope they're doing very well also. And how have you been? What did the doctor say?”Interested in my business, wasn't he? I didn't mind, after all. He was

RAVEN POV “Isn't it late at night to be here?” Opening the door, there was Aella in my apartment. “Come on in. I'm sure you're cold.” I mouthed as I opened the door even wider, watching her walk into the space with a smile that was evergreen on her face. “Good evening, my lady.” I shut the door. Turned around and caught up with the couch she was seated on. “Not so fast. Is everything okay over there at the pack? Why are you here? You keep scaring me so much and I don't think I like it.” “My lady,” she looked at me. “There is nothing wrong if you must know. I just came to spend some time with you. I haven't done that since the operation for all that I can recall. How are you doing?” Relieved, I heaved a sigh. And just then, her eyes reached my stomach. “My goodness. It's bigger than I thought it'd be!” Crying, she adjusted on the chair, dropping her purse on the floor. “You look good on it too. You are still as beautiful as always if you know what I mean.” “I don't feel bet

RUNE POVThe man by the gate hailed while I led my way into the compound - headed for the lot. After I parked, I hopped down and led my way straight to the living room, falling on the chair and heaving another tired sigh. It was a good thing to finally be home. Away from the wolves and one particular man who annoyed the hell out of me. What does he even want? Heaving a sigh, I snapped my fingers and a maid showed up. “My lord.” I looked at her face, realizing it was none other maid than Aella who smiled at me. “What can I offer you? Do you need water?” Bowing again, she looked at me while I sat up, thinking about words to say to the woman. What could she offer me? Like she didn't know what I wanted to be offered? But how could I spell it in block letters that I wanted my wife back in my life? “I want water,” after a while of thinking, I let out and offered back the smile she was offering. “Not so cold. Not so hot. You know what I mean, don't you?” “Yes, my lord.”I was left alone

RUNE POV I walked past the gate leading into the camp when my gaze caught someone's. It's been over two weeks of training the wolves and I had yet to say a word to a man I have tagged an enemy. What would he have me say to him? “Good morning, Mr. Rune.” It was a student who called.She had a smile on her face and my lips widened, the grimace leaving my countenance. “Good morning, dearest wolf. How are you doing today?” I walked and she was by my side, offering to take my bag but there was me who shook my head. “I can handle it, you have nothing at all to worry about.” In moments, she was out of my side and there was me who led my way past the space with many wolves in it. They offered more greetings while I just walked away, heading to the general office for trainers like myself who had arrived. “Good morning,” I greeted the man from two weeks ago. “I have arrived.” Sarcastically, I mouthed and kept walking. “Where are the others?” Stopping in my tracks, I turned to look at the

LILA POV I was seated on the veranda, sipping juice from a glass when a maid walked out of the house. She had an apron on and this could only mean that she was supposed to be on duty. So why was she outside? Looking to my left, I figured out that it was Aella. How long would she keep doing this? As a matter of fact, it wasn't the first time I would see her leave the house with her phone in hand. The unfortunate thing was me not being close to the spot when it was happening. Now, I wanted to know what was behind it. Jumping on my feet, I acted like I didn't care. Of course, I did. Deep down inside of me but what could I do? I needed to know what she was up to before making plans to send her away from the pack. It was something I wanted to do so badly. According to my thoughts, this woman led the man I love to see a woman he should never set his eyes on. What could she not do? I caught up with a block and tried to listen to what she said to whoever it was, over the phone. “My la

RAVEN POV Lunchtime. Taking out the food from the bag I came with, I knew I needed to take a break. There was more than a lot going through my head at this point, but what could I do? I simply relaxed my back on the chair and opened the plate of food. And it was at this moment that I noticed something strange happening to the meal. Not the meal, but the office in total. What was I thinking? A piece of paper fell off the plate packaging, catching my attention. What could I do or say? I looked at the floor, wanting to be certain that I wasn't imagining things. There was a piece of paper. Confirming this, I looked around as though it wasn't my office anymore. And now I bent low so that my hand could reach it, snatching it from the ground and meeting the gaze of whatever was in the piece. “I know I haven't done well for myself or even you, Raven. But I look forward to the day we get to spend time with each other again. And I promise I'll treat you right, and not the wrong way I

RAVEN POV With time, I recovered fully. My stomach on the other hand got bigger by the day, and I didn't think for a moment that it would stop because, from the look of things, there was more to come. Another Monday morning arrived. This was the point when I got out of bed so that I could take my bath and be ready for work. There was not much difference in my body and somehow, I seemed to like this more than the other. Despite the size.It was still Rune's fault, wasn't it? Why can't I leave him out of my thoughts? Anger was the right word for how I felt when I snatched the towel from the bed and walked into the bathroom for my bath. Soon enough, I was standing in front of a mirror - wondering what outfit exactly was good to use for the purpose of my work on this day. A smile came alive on my face when I figured it out. I didn't stop smiling for one moment, but caught up with the wardrobe, opened it, and caught sight of the outfit I needed to look for. How ready was I to be th

RUNE POV So why did Mother and Father give me that look? I wasn't done with my food but at this point, I was more than ready to abandon it and walk back to my room. With a smile I didn't know how it looked, plastered on my face, I looked at my parents once more. “Is there any problem?” They looked at each other before looking at me again. “Why do you ask, son? Did we say there was a problem?” He looked at his wife and back at me. “We were only looking at you. Does that make a problem exist?” A sigh. A scoff. What did these people want from me? This was the reason why I couldn't tell them about my love for Raven. How could I, when they warned me so much from the onset? “Alright,” I chewed on a chunk of meat and gave a nod. “I hear you, Mother and Father.” Mother cleared her throat. “We just hope you're not planning to bring another woman into this pack, Rune,” she said with a smile I considered fake. “I'm sure you know we've had enough of your saga with the other gender. I mig

LILA POV There was no way I'd let him do something like that to not just himself, but me also. How could he? It was another morning after the last morning since we saw each other. And Rune was yet to say a word to me. Not because he didn't have words to say, but because we didn't get to set eyes on each other. “Good morning, my lady.” The guards and maids who were not far from the door of my room, greeted me as soon as I walked in. “Shall I do something for you this morning, my lady?” One of them asked while there was me who shook my head. What could she possibly do? I didn't need the regular help as it stands. What I needed was help to get back the man I love for myself. And how could they help me with that too? I looked ahead of me after shaking my head a second time, catching up with the dining table where the Alpha was seated. So where was Luna Elizabeth? “Good morning, Father.” The old man looked up from the screen of his phone. At the sight of me, he smiled and I gave a

LILA POV My car was parked in the lot of The Illeth Pack in the morning. I reached for the entrance and ignored the greetings of the men by the door. “Is the young Alpha in? It's him I've come to see. Don't waste my time.” The men looked at themselves and one looked at me this time. “My young Alpha is in, my lady. But you can't disturb his sleep at this time of the morning. He came back very late last night and needs all the rest he can get before leaving again this morning.” What were they saying? Why should I care if the young Alpha was sleeping or not? I had come to stay in the pack just as Mother advised and maybe talk to him about his change. Didn't I wake up early this morning to prepare to be here? I looked at the men, pushed one aside, and walked to the door of my room. When I walked into the space, it was cleaned. In confusion, I turned around and looked at the door. Does it mean they've been expecting me long before now? With a smile on my face, I became more calm and
