***LUCY'S POINT OF VIEW*** I lost count of how many times I rolled my eyes as the maid helped me with my dress. Attending someone's coronation was always boring, and I would rather spend my time with my friends, but my father made me! I was furious, but I couldn't say no to an official order from the Alpha. I was his heir, and I was obligated to obey when it came to official business. “Beautiful!” I turned around to check my overall appearance after the maid exclaimed after assisting me with my outfit. "There's something on my hair," I grumbled, noticing a few stray strands. I wanted to look perfect at all times when it came to my appearance! "Lucy, you look like a goddess in that gown!" I turned around to see my sister Lily in her stunning gown. We almost looked alike because we were twins, but I knew I was more beautiful than her. Lily, fortunately, was the best sister anyone could have! She was not a jealous person, and she adored me as much as our father did! "Are you certain?
***LUCY’S POINT OF VIEW*** In everyone's eyes, I've just become his Luna. After the ceremony, the people who had witnessed our wedding gathered outside the church, and everyone was excited to enjoy the festivities and food at the pack. "Where are we going?" I inquired as he gripped my wrist tightly. "To inform your family that the feast at my place is far superior," he explained. “W-what? Are you sure? Everything is prepared at home, and they are expecting us!" When I realized what was going on inside my head, I complained. I didn't want to argue with him on our wedding day, but taking me away right after the ceremony would be unjust to both me and our community! "Serious as fuck," he replied coldly, and I was taken aback by the shift in his tone. He had never been cold or indifferent before, and I didn't expect him to change so quickly after the wedding. I had narrowed my eyes and tried to analyze the man before, but his expressions were so guarded, and at that moment, I realize
***LUCY’S POINT OF VIEW*** He became indifferent and cold to me over the next few days. He was just acting nice and kind to make me think he was such a gentleman. He was, however, not a nice guy. He was a cunning man, a ruthless tyrant who only wanted to expand his power by marrying me. Alpha Jacob probably assumed I wouldn't know everything, or that I was stupid. The sense of betrayal harmed my self-esteem and negatively damage my emotional health. Yes, I was a spoiled brat, but that didn't give him the right to use me for his own benefit! How dare he even consider it! I wished I wasn't so head over heels in love with him, and that I hadn't succumbed to his charms. I used to be a seductress, but he beat me to it! "Lucy, I can feel your piercing gaze. Come here now and assist me," he said. "No, it's not really convenient to face you in that state," I admitted, trying to shift my focus elsewhere. When he failed to fulfill his husbandly duties on our wedding night, I resolved to be w
****BETHANY’s POV****When tears began streaming down his face, I was overcome with emotion. “I can't live without you, please give me another chance,” Jacob pleaded nonstop but I really sensed that something was wrong. I just couldn’t pinpoint what it was. “One month. Let’s stay together for one month,” I told him.Jacob was overcome with joy. When I got out of bed and followed him to the kitchen, I sighed deeply. When I arrived, he was in the middle of making my favorite dish, and he smiled when he saw me.“I don't think we can make this work,” I voiced out my opinion because he was really trying so hard. He didn’t have to! “Yes, of course! It's possible,” he said. “We used to love each other very much,” he reasoned out, and by all means, he was correct.I used to adore him so much but I just realized that something was not right with Jacob Summers. I could feel it in my heart that he was hiding something from me. Maybe, I failed to notice it before because of my affection to him,
****Bethany’s POV***Slowly, I sauntered back inside. In order not to alert Jacob, I tiptoed as I opened the door, only to be welcomed with a sound slap that almost cracked my jaw. I was too stunned to speak at the moment and just looked at him.“How could you?” I confronted him for slapping me. The fact that he didn’t raise a hand on me before made it more disappointing. I was aware he was a rogue, but I didn’t expect him to be a bastard! Jacob didn’t say anything and just drag me to the nearest couch. I prayed he wouldn’t physically hurt me again, but it seemed he would by the fierce look in his eyes.“Stay away from him,” he commanded.To my surprise, he spoke as though was making a request rather than issuing an order. However, once again, he slapped me, and this time it was harder! “Stop it!” I complained while trying to shield my face from him but he was enraged with jealousy. “Please stop…,” I begged him, and the third one didn’t happen. Jacob clenched his teeth and tried to co
***Jacob’s POV***Gardening and cleaning up the front yard took up most of her time while I made sure to prepare something delicious for Bethany. Regret and remorse bothered me a lot after slapping the woman out of jealousy. I couldn’t forgive myself after doing that but the moment I saw her talking with Stefan, rage filled my heart. I couldn’t breathe properly while trying to decide whether to approach them or not. I trusted Bethany, but I couldn’t trust my brother, or anyone for that matter, except for Dale.Before meeting Bethany, my father constantly bothered me about taking a wife, or I would lose my title. The title didn’t mean a lot to me. What I cared was just about my happiness and I couldn’t be bothered about taking care of the pack or leading them.However, I learned about my father’s harsh treatment of women in the lower class. When I learned about it, I was too stunned to speak. How could he treat women so low? Then, the realization hit me. While I was having fun with my
***Bethany’s POV***Jacob and I were looking forward to a day at the beach three days later. It had been a long time since we had formed a strong bond as a couple. Jacob recommended that I buy some swimwear at the resort's souvenir shop, which also carried a variety of swimwear.He went to the shop to get something for me because he was the one who talked to the receptionist about our room reservation. “You're going to love it!” He exclaimed as he handed the package to me.My jaw dropped when I saw the swimsuit he had picked out for me when we got back to our room to change. For my personal taste, it was extremely revealing and sexy! “I don't like to wear this one. I'll just go to the store and buy some more,” I informed him but Jacob stopped me and glared at me.“I think you look great in it, sweetheart,” he complimented my attire, but I responded by shaking my head. However, he didn’t give me the chance to get another swimwear attire, and at that moment, I thought it was odd for him
***Bethany’s POV***When I asked Jacob to make love to me, he just laughed before he ventured outside. The next thing I heard was the sound of his vehicle leaving the property. I took a deep breath while trying to compose myself because I was greatly embarrassed earlier. I forgot about my pride when I asked him to do that to me. Initially, I thought it would clear my mind, or it would reassure me that he didn’t have another woman. He failed to give me an assurance!Suddenly, I heard a loud thud outside, so I ran outside to check what was going on. The sound came from the doorway and I furrowed my brows while strolling toward the door. It couldn’t be Jacob because I didn’t hear his car coming back. Who was it? Should I ask the person outside the door? What if it was a bad man and he would do something evil to me?“It’s me, Bethany,” he said when he probably heard the sound of my breathing or the way I gasped earlier.I couldn’t be mistaken. It was Stefan, and I wondered what he was doi
