Carena:
"Ah!!! Yass! Ahhhh!"
I heard my husband's moans echo from the bedroom, and my heart sank in my chest. As I opened the door, I caught sight of him, with his phone in one hand and his dick in the other, stroking it up and down.
It was a shocking sight for me, especially at this early hour of the morning, considering he had explicitly stated that he hadn't felt aroused by anything in the previous days.
"Jack!" I murmured quietly, feeling utterly humiliated. Just last night, he had even pushed me away when I tried to cuddle with him in our marital bed.
And now here he was, masturbating alone in our bed? He had become distant from me over the past few months, hardly even sleeping in the same room. I assumed it was because I couldn't give him a child. But now things should have been different.
“Carena! Why are you home so early?” he almost tumbled out of the bed when struggling to do something on his phone while also covering his dick as if I had never seen him naked before.
We tied the knot when I turned eighteen, and since then, we've been inseparable. Our bond wasn't just a mere twist of fate; we genuinely loved each other and understood one another deeply. He, an alpha king of The Red Raven pack and all the packs of the south, was my mate through thick and thin.
As the years passed, I turned 24, and finally, after years of trying, I became pregnant.
"My appointment was over so I rushed home to prepare breakfast. Were you on FaceTime with someone?" I questioned him.
"What? Are you crazy?" he snapped, gripping his cellphone tightly. "No! Of course not. Who would I be on FaceTime with?" he scoffed, shaking his head angrily at me.
My heart raced with confusion. "Then—what were you doing with your phone and…" I trailed off, silenced by his harsh glare.
I couldn't fathom what was happening. He seemed annoyed with me, even after I shared the joyous news of my pregnancy with him. His reaction was rather peculiar.
"I was watching porn, is that a crime too now?" he retorted, kicking his clothes aside as he headed for the bathroom. "I'm the Alpha of the pack, I'm not accountable to you."
I felt bad for riling him up so I decided to change his mood with good news.
"The doctor confirmed my pregnancy," I announced, waiting outside the bathroom until I heard the door click open again.
"Oh, I know," he cleared his throat, his hazel eyes devoid of emotion.
"You knew?" I asked, a smile forming on my lips.
"Yeah, she called me first yesterday. So, are you going to keep it?" he joked, his tone dead serious.
"Jack! Don't say stuff like that. I am so happy; we are finally having a baby."
I gave him a closed-lip smile and scooted closer to hug him, but he pulled back.
"I need to take a shower first," he excused himself, avoiding the topic of the pregnancy altogether.
"But are you happy? You haven't said anything," I hated feeling neglected even after sharing such big news with him.
"Carena! It's not the end of the world for me. I have other worries on my mind regarding my pack and its safety. You're lucky you don't have to worry about any of it," he scoffed.
“And please don't run around announcing the pregnancy to the world. It is very gauche when she-wolves act like that,” he hissed as he walked back into the bathroom.
But before he could close the door, I suppose he realized how harsh he had been so he suddenly called my name.
"Carena!"
"Yes?" I tried to hide my smile, hoping he would say something sweet to make up for his rude behavior.
"Prepare breakfast and clean the mansion. Don't give my mother any excuse to be unhappy with you again," he commanded before slamming the door shut. I stood outside with a broken smile and teary eyes.
Carena: I was wandering around tidying up the mansion all on my own. His mother lived with us, and she was quite hard to please, being a demanding sort, unlike myself, a wolfless omega.Back when I tied the knot with my mate, I was on the brink of losing my birth pack and going rogue along with my siblings: 13-year-old Tabitha and 6-year-old twins, Riona and Markiel.After my marriage, alpha Jack took my siblings under his wing, taking their responsibilities. That didn't sit well with my mother-in-law. She made sure I do all the chores of my siblings and everyone to change my mind and send my siblings away. Her high heels clacked on the floor as she made her way to the breakfast nook, adorned with all-white couches and tables.My muscles tensed as Lady Paula Bradshaw, my mother-in-law, joined me, accompanied by her personal omega maid. She looked stunning in her golden dress, matching earrings, and necklace, exuding an air of royalty. Meanwhile, there I stood, the luna queen of the
Carena:"What?" I stared at my sister's face, trying to grasp if she was just pulling my leg. "I didn't want to bring this up earlier, but I caught sight of him with a much younger girl yesterday. I didn't want to stir up trouble, so I kept quiet. But now, with the way they're treating you and then finding out you're pregnant, I just can't keep this truth to myself anymore," she said, gripping my hands tightly as she delivered all the shocking news in one breath. My heart was pounding in my chest."Maybe it was just some beta or a gamma? or maybe you misunderstood," I stammered nervously."Carena, open your eyes. He's cheating on you. Why would an alpha be taking a beta or gamma to a private hotel room? I'd suggest you confront him, but don't mention me. I still have my college fees to pay, and if he gets upset with me, he might not pay for Markiel and Riona's fees either.""Don't worry, I won't tell him that it was you who told me about that girl," I replied, feeling overwhelmed wit
Carena: Hours had passed since the argument. His mother had finally left the room with him to calm him down while I had to calm myself down all by myself. It didn't matter what the doctor said. I was determined to make it work.But when Jack returned, I realized things were getting complicated now. He stood before me and then uttered, "Abort the baby!""Our baby!" I corrected him immediately, "You want me to abort our baby?" It was so difficult to even look him in the eye now."Don't look at me with those big teary eyes. I'm not asking you to abort the baby because I don't want this baby," he instantly turned to hold me by my arms and spoke softly."Then why? Why do you want me to abort your heir, Jack?" My words came out in a hopeless murmur."Carena! The doctor said there are complications," he uttered with a sad look on his face."What complications?" I couldn't stop my tears from spilling anymore. It was devastating news to me. This pregnancy gave me so much hope, and now I had
Carena:"What happened?" Dr. Kelly inquired, concern etched across her face."Nothing. Has my family arrived yet?"Feeling down after losing my baby, I hoped my family would cheer me up. Besides, her confession had really messed up my already messed up brain."Oh no! Nobody has come to visit you." Dr. Kelly offered a comforting smile as she ran her hand through my hair. "I'll see you in the morning," she assured me."I want to go home. Can you please discharge me?" I pleaded, no longer wishing to remain alone."Okay, but it's too late, and no one has come to pick you up." She sounded somewhat conflicted as she agreed to discharge me."It is alright. I will call Jack right now. Just please discharge me," I requested and she gave me a head nod.After she left the room, I grabbed my phone and called Jack. The empty walls of the room seemed to swallow me whole."Hey?" Jack's voice sounded distant at first, then he cleared his throat and asked, "Did you wake up?""I did. Jack! Can you plea
Carena:Seeing me standing in the doorway with tear-filled eyes made Tabitha snatch up a silk purple gown from the ground and quickly slip into it. I was in utter disbelief. My little sister was in my bedroom, wearing my silk gown and having an intimate session with my mate."How dare you!" Without wasting a single minute, I lunged at the bastard alpha who had no decency to lower his eyes after being caught in a situation like this. But before I could slap him, he grabbed my wrist and twisted my arm, kneeing me in the back and causing me to fall to the ground."Ahhhhhhh!" A loud cry escaped my lips as I hit the floor. My body felt utterly weak from the procedure. The doctor had even warned me not to walk too fast for now. I was supposed to be resting, not getting kicked in my back."How could you—" With a hand on my back and my head up, I asked Jack. He was trying to cover Tabitha behind him so she could change peacefully."I'm not the one she needs to be shielded from. How could you
Carena:I had nothing on me except my phone and some money in my bag. I traveled for hours on the bus and then hopped on a train to the largest pack up north-The North Comet Pack.After getting off the train, I wrapped my arms around myself while navigating through the rain as I made my way towards the pack's border. There stood a massive black door obstructing my view ahead.“I don't recall there being a gate,” I murmured, pondering why the security had been beefed up. It had been years, so many changes had occurred. The last time I left was when the alpha kings of North and South were not on good terms, and things only deteriorated after that.My ex always boasted about how he would have handled being an alpha king of the North as well. I didn't say it to his face back then, but I could definitely say he wasn't even doing a great job in the South.“Stop right there,” a guard's loud and commanding voice halted me in my tracks, causing me to quickly backtrack my steps.“Who are you?”
Carena:Lady Mary Jane departed with her guards, leaving me behind with a mind in disarray. I felt utterly clueless, as no one had bothered to fill me in. My father had actually stepped out to follow Lady Jane to inquire about the details, while Maanya hadn't uttered a word to me."What debt have you guys received?" I couldn't bear it any longer and followed her into the kitchen, where she was stowing away all the food they had prepared to serve the queen mother, who hadn't even bothered to taste a single thing.The power dynamics within our pack had deteriorated significantly. Imagine being in debt, yet wasting so much money without receiving any appreciation for it."Why the sudden return, Carena? Didn't you depart with your family to live a life of luxury with the enemy of our pack?" She tossed the sponge into the sink and turned to face me."Sis, I am no longer his mate," I responded, averting my gaze. I couldn't discern what angered my sister and father more: my decision not to p
Carena: I stood before the imposing black mansion, scanning my surroundings as the security guard phoned the lady inside to inform her of my arrival. He assessed me while conversing with her.“Feel free to enter,” he ended the call and gestured for me to step inside. I had chosen a simple white dress paired with old boots from my highschool days.Inside the pack, numerous changes had taken place. The atmosphere was different, charged with an air of mystery and uncertainty. Neighbors were not very keen on meeting each other anymore. Everybody kept to themselves but the gossips would circle the entire pack in seconds.I leisurely made my way into the foyer, greeted by an aura of darkness reminiscent of a haunted mansion. The foyer offered a gloomy welcome, with shadows dancing around the dimly lit space. The big chandelier hanging down the ceiling gave me ick. It was huge, making me wonder if it would fall on me.Guided by a maid, I followed her to a living room tucked away beside the
