Felicity
*I returned to the mating ball because of the responsibilities of the Luna of the pack. Even though these are the last few days of this role from now on, I wouldn’t abandon it.I checked the time before texting our family lawyer’s number to meet me at the packhouse for the preparation of the divorce agreement tomorrow. I knew he would keep this to himself, so I wasn’t worried about this news traveling like fire in the forest.I personally congratulated those pack members who found their mates while cheering for those who couldn’t find their mates tonight.Soon, Massimo joined me, and we acted like a perfect couple to avoid any gossip.*"You know that I can sense your feelings even though you’re good at faking your smile," He said while dancing. Since we were doing the Waltz, we had to come close to each other every few seconds, and his closeness was affecting me. It was breaking the tough face that I had maintained."Your point?"He hissed before speaking, "You started showing your true color after learning about my fated mate.""So what were you expecting? I will cry and beg in front of you?" I asked him with a scoff. "I won’t give you the satisfaction of seeing my tears, Alpha Massimo De Luca.""Seeing this side of yours, I feel like I never knew you," He commented."As if you spent time getting to know me. Tell me, what’s my favorite color or favorite food?" I smiled sadly when he had no answer to my question. "I’m leaving. Tell everyone that I was sick," I said when the dance was about to come to an end."Sick? Are you pregnant?" He questioned."No. That’s an excuse for others." I tried my best to lie perfectly. A part of me wasn’t okay with that. I shouldn’t be lying to a father about his pup, but another part of me wanted to know whether he wanted his pup or not."I still want you to visit the hospital tomorrow and get a check-up. The last thing I want to receive is any unwanted surprise or you raising my heir alone after leaving here," I controlled myself from slapping right at his cheek in front of everyone.He asked me to become his chosen mate.He asked me to start a family.He asked me to leave.Now he was asking me this."Well, after knowing what an asshole you are, I will get rid of your little thing instead of raising him or her," I said, gritting my teeth. Immediately, his hazel eyes flashed blue, and he left my hand that he had been holding for dance.‘Leave before I end up embarrassing you in front of everyone in anger,’ He said in a very pissed tone. I didn’t stay a second there to calm down his anger.After all, he wasn’t mine anymore.*I screamed in pain, and hot tears rolled out of my eyes. I didn’t know how long I would cry thinking about everything. This should have been the happiest day of my life, but it turned into a nightmare.The pain of heartbreak was already enough for me, but what I wasn’t expecting was the pain of betrayal. I didn’t know what exactly was going on between them, but I was going crazy thinking about everything that could have happened if two fated mates were left alone in a room.I recalled how I met Massimo for the first time, and since then I have wanted him as my mate.I was six years old when my parents sent me to summer camp, but unfortunately, rogues attacked our camp, kidnapping almost all the Alpha pups.I wiped my tears, recalling how he took the hit that was supposed to be for me because I didn’t stop crying even when they ordered me to.That incident had printed itself into my mind like a trauma because I had watched them hit Massimo because he didn’t want anyone to touch me.I didn’t know what was exactly happening at that moment because I was busy crying, but later I learned from Dad that they were planning to sell a female Alpha heir. In fact, they were also successful in selling most of them.The only reason I was left behind was that those rogues were busy torturing Massimo by holding me captive. At the same time, they wanted to check to what extent a male Alpha heir could handle the pain.The boy who had saved me from enormous pain at that moment had given me this extreme pain.I wished he wouldn’t have saved me that night. Then I wouldn’t have saved his life.I wish I had dropped the idea of finding him again.I wish I would have listened to My dad when he told me to focus on myself instead of running behind him.*"Luna!" I heard a soft knock at my door. "Michael Smith is here." I heard Isla, the head omega voice, from the other side of the door. Michael Smith was none other than the lawyer whom I had asked to visit me tomorrow.Why did he come so early?I looked at the clock, and I realised that it was five in the evening.Fuck! My pup would have been hungry. That was the first thought that came to mind. I couldn’t risk my pup's life because of my stupidity.‘Ask him to wait for me in the garden,’ I responded through the mind link because she wouldn’t be able to hear my voice as the room was soundproof. One could hear what was going on outside, but this rule didn’t apply to the person if he or she tried to hear the conversation going on inside the room from outside.I stood up on my feet and felt a little dizzy because of the weakness, whether it was because of a lack of food or sleep or because my body used all its power to build a shield around my heart to handle the pain of betrayal.I looked at my miserable state in the mirror. My beautiful chocolate-brown hair looked no less than the nest of a bird. It was hard to believe that this was the same beautiful hair that was perfectly done by the beautician.All my makeup had been ruined, and I looked more like a scary witch than a beautiful Luna.I laughed at the woman in the mirror because no one but herself was the reason behind this state. I walked into the bathroom to freshen up.The natural glow had disappeared from my face, so I had to use makeup to look normal. I used goggles to cover my red eyes.I smiled, looking at my reflection, and she smiled back at me. I wore a yellow pencil skirt that reached my knees, matching it with a white and black baggy top. I chose white stiletto heels to match my top and goggles with a yellow lens to match my skirt.Perfect.I walked out of the room like nothing had happened last night. I smiled when Omegas bowed their heads. I knew that I smile a lot in all situations.That was because of the trauma that I had in childhood. I was crying a lot after getting kidnapped and also when they were hitting Massimo. That was when I learned that crying would solve anything; in fact, a lot of people enjoyed watching you cry."I’m sorry for making you wait for this long, Uncle Michael," I said, grabbing the seat in front of him. He smiled sadly. Something told me that he already knew everything in detail, so I called him. I didn’t know I was this hungry until I saw the snacks on the table. "Please don’t mind me. I’m just a little hungry," I said, smiling sheepishly."Who can say that you are the same woman who cried the whole night because of the pain of the heartbreak?" He commented, making me arch my brow, "I couldn’t help myself from thinking about whose divorce agreement you were talking about last night, so I called Massimo in the morning to know the whole thing because your number was switched off."I stayed quiet when he was speaking, enjoying my snacks."If his parents would have been alive, then they would have been very upset with all this incident." Uncle Michael spoke, taking out the file from his bag. I knew Massimo’s father was fond of me from day one. I had never met his mother, but his father always used to say that his mate would have loved me more than him.I picked up the file, taking a pause from eating, to see what it was.‘Divorce Agreement’I looked at him for an explanation. If I didn’t tell him the points that I needed in the agreement, then why did he already prepare the agreement without discussing it with me?"As I told you, I talked with Massimo in the morning. That was when he learned about the divorce agreement, and he asked me to prepare the agreement based on his terms and conditions." Uncle Michael spoke, and my jaw tightened.Couldn’t he handle the fact that I was the one who was planning to prepare for a divorce agreement, not him?But never mind; the agreement was already in my hand, and my stomach churned observing his signature on it. He could have made it less painful for me by not signing it first.Was he that eager to get rid of me?"He also told me that after signing this agreement, you won’t be allowed to stay in the packhouse anymore," Uncle Michael said, to which I nodded my head and read the agreement. "He knows your dream of becoming a lawyer. That’s why he has been very generous about the alimony." He added when he realized the page I was reading.As per the contract, Massimo was offering me ten billion, a penthouse, a car, and all other expenses until I was fully independent.I wanted to ask why they offered me so much money. Was this the cost of taking my virginity by giving me false hope?"Becoming a lawyer?" I chuckled, and he looked at me in confusion. "I’m a medical student, Uncle.""Oh, my bad!’ He apologized, saying, "I’m sure he knows about it. The change in the profession is my mistake," He explained."It’s okay, I won’t mind," I smiled politely before starting to sign the first paper."You do know that you need to leave the packhouse immediately if you sign it now," He reminded me again. I smiled and signed all the papers. I handed it over to him once it was signed."I’m leaving right now, Uncle Michael. Take care," I said, standing on my feet. I had barely taken a few steps when I saw Isla coming towards me with my purse and the car key. I thanked her before walking towards the red Ferrari 488 in the parking lot.Throwing my purse in the passenger seat, I grabbed the driver’s seat and wasted no time leaving there.*#TBCFelicity*After the three-hour drive, I finally reached Massimo’s Grandpa’s cottage, where he was spending the last couple of years of his life in memory of Grandma.Others would learn about all this divorce and rejection sooner or later. I wanted him to learn about this from me because Massimo didn’t know how to talk with his Grandpa because they never got along, especially after Massimo chose me as his chosen mate.Grandpa wanted him to choose anyone but me."If you’re here to say Goodbye for the last time, then say it and leave." I heard his voice from the kitchen as I walked inside his small and beautiful cottage. I wasn’t eyeing his homely cottage, but I loved the place where it was built between a field of colorful flowers, along with the way it was maintained by the one and only Grandpa. "If you’re planning to ask for this cottage as alimony, then remember that this belongs to me, not Simo." Finally, he came out of the kitchen with a spatula in his hand."Don’t worry, Grandpa.
Felicity*"I’m pregnant, Grandpa," I mumbled, answering the question that he had asked before."I figured that out already by realizing the amount of perfume you’ve used." He paused before continuing, "Don’t stress over the fact that he will find out about pregnancy because he won’t, not until I want him to find out about my great-grandchild. I might have retired from all the work, but everyone still listened to me before him."I knew what I was doing was wrong for my pup’s father as well as my pup, but the choice that Massimo had given me was also cruel."Join me in the kitchen now. I want to eat my favorite dessert tonight." He changed the topic.After half an hour, we settled on the table for dinner."Why are you helping me instead of your Grandson?" I couldn’t help but ask."I’m just protecting my great-grandchild's mother’s mental health in the early phase of the pregnancy because watching them together won’t be easy for you and stress might lead to miscarriage." I smiled weakly
Felicity*On the way to his office, I thought to tell him the truth about fake Amelia. I really hoped that he would trust me. One way to make him believe what I was saying was true was by asking Dad to send my childhood picture. But those proofs were for others, not for the person who knew me for a decade. At the same time, I wondered why Massimo would have called me."Come in," Hearing these two words, I walked inside his cabin and saw him reading a file. I headed towards him and sat on the chair next to him. I didn’t miss him taking a deep breath as if he were inhaling my scent to find out about his pup."So, what’s the matter?" I asked, coming directly to the point. His eyes thinned, and he kept the file aside."How can you not be pregnant?""Did you receive the results of the tests already? I questioned him, ignoring his question."Yes!! And that’s why I’m asking, How is this possible? How can you not be pregnant? Did you take pills to avoid pregnancy?""No," I responded. I could
Massimo*She accepted it.She accepted the rejection.Tears rolled out of my eyes, even though they were closed. I didn’t know whether it was because of the pain of rejection or the pain of losing her as a perfect partner.I wouldn’t lie, but I wasn’t really expecting any of these. I wasn’t expecting her to hurt my fated mate out of jealousy. I wasn’t expecting her to plan to make a divorce agreement. I wasn’t expecting her not to be pregnant. I wasn’t expecting her to accept the rejection. I wasn’t expecting her to be that strong.Sighing, I recalled how my relationship with her went from good to bad in two days. We could have split like a mature couple without fighting and arguing like adults, but everything went downhill when she attacked Amelia.To be honest, I wouldn’t have trusted her if Felicity’s scent hadn't lingered on her skin.And for the first time, I did something that I had never done before. I raised my voice at her in front of others.But then, she too did something
Massimo*I kept getting updates on Felicity from Isla throughout the day. I was positive that in the situation in which she was, she wouldn’t sign the divorce agreement and would need at least some time. Still, I added some stupid terms like she had to leave the packhouse after signing the agreement and no monetary help from my end until the divorce would be finalized to hold her back. After all, she was an orphan and had nowhere to go.Oh boy! She proved to me how wrong I was when I learned that she had not just signed the paper but also left the packhouse with nothing but a purse and her car that I had gifted her on her 20th birthday.I couldn’t just go from being an asshole to a jerk by asking her to return that car or anything that I bought for her.I would have been worried sick for her if there hadn't been a tracker installed in her car for safety reasons. I knew where she was heading, so I already informed Grandpa and requested that he not kick her out as usual, but he disconn
Massimo*I stayed in my office, sitting on the couch, not knowing what to do next after changing my password and removing her fingerprint from my phone.This was what I always wanted in my life, but now that I had it, I wasn’t feeling it right. One of the reasons behind this feeling was that I felt guilty for hurting Felicity.Grabbing my phone, I thought to call and check on her because her situation would be worse than mine; after all, she wasn’t an Alpha blood.What if she ended up losing Venus?I hope that won’t be the case. I tried to mind-link Venus, but I couldn’t. Fear crept into my heart as I thought about the worst. I quickly dialed her number, but after one single phone ring, your call was diverted to her voicemail.[How are you feeling, Amee? I’m sorry for the pain. I know my apologies won’t heal you, but I hope you will have the heart to forgive me and we can be back to being friends just like we were before.] I sent her a text and waited for her response, but I didn’t re
Felicity*I groaned and opened my eyes lazily. I smiled when I heard the beautiful voice of birds."Imo, wake up. You need to hear this beautiful sound," I chirped and looked at the other side of the bed to wake up Massimo, who wasn’t an early bird. I always had to kick him out of bed forcefully so that he could attend the training.My smile immediately fell when I saw the empty side of the bed. Not just that it wasn’t our bed or our room. I should correct ‘our’ to ‘his’ because I own nothing if he wasn’t mine.Tears pooled in my eyes when I realized where I was and why.I ran my hand on my stomach to check on my pup. ‘Venus, is our pup all right?’ I asked.‘Yeah. We might have lost him if I hadn't handled most of the pain.‘Him?’‘I have got a feeling that it’s a boy. In 95% of cases, the firstborn is always a boy who is born to lead the pack and become a leader.’ I didn’t comment on that part because, out of all my seven relatives, only one family was blessed with a female pup as t
Felicity*"Felicity… Fuck… Do you know how worried I was?" Teressa shouted from the other side. "Your number was switched off, and I couldn’t mind link you. I thought Venus couldn’t make it because of rejection." I heard Venus scoffing like background music.I had always kept my aura hidden, and no one had ever seen her because I acted like I couldn’t shift because of the weak wolf but could feel and hear her. So, I knew from where this was coming."Don’t worry. I’m in good hands.""I know that part. I couldn't help but wonder whether Grandpa is on weeds? I mean he never talked with you softly and now he is letting you stay with him and is taking care of you like you are his own granddaughter." I chuckled at her choice of words. "And that’s the only reason I didn’t focus my mind on the work that you assigned me. And guess what? I have positive news for you." A smile appeared on my lips at that part."Her name is Amelia Edla Glint. She is the daughter of former Alpha Stephan and forme
