Getting Jailed And Divorce

I scrunched my brows. "What are you talking about, mother? What is..going on here?"

"You can continue with the pretence the moment you are out of this pack, you shameless thief." Claire continued.

I was still so confused. How did they come to the conclusion that I did that? Just how?

The only claim was that I had been to the pack earlier that afternoon when Arthur summoned me and Claire, even though she was not there she said I must have taken the opportunity to reach her room and stole her jewelry. On top of that, I was accused of leaving the pack house immediately after stealing the items. 

What a story! It was all perfectly made up and I could not even defend myself. I looked at Adrien who was sitting on a sofa in the living room. We had an unsettled issue but I had to swallow my pride and ask him for help, communicating with non-verbal cues.

My husband looked away, leaving me surprised. He was supposed to be the only person who could vouch for me over anything, being the closest.

Being tagged a thief in the Seventh Heritage Pack was literal death. A big torture. It was a thing of shame too, and I was even Adrien's wife.

There were no camera within the main building that would help me prove my innocent so I was a suspect till whenever. 

It was not a joke, never being a joke and it would never be a joke that a woman was wrongly accused of being a thief by her inlaws.

I was powerless and could not do anything. 

Claire called the pack police on me instead of having me punished according to the pack's laws. I would be losing my head, if not.

 "I need to talk to my husband." I said to one of the pack police as my hands were being cuffed.

 "Adrien." I reached out but he wasn't willing to pay attention to me.. A smirk printed on my face as I followed the police quietly to the station where my statement was taken.

I really needed to talk to Adrien but it seemed this was how things would go. All in a day, I got betrayed, disappointed, cheated on and now in jail? What a rollercoaster!

I never stole her jewelry, but somehow, I still ended up with a sentence. I didn't even get to face the pack's court; instead, I was stuck in jail, suffering for something I didn’t do.

Every day, I felt myself slipping. My mental health took a huge hit — one moment, I’d be fine, and the next, I was losing it. Everything that happened over the past month was too much to handle.

The memories and images kept messing with my mind. It was bad enough being in jail, but Adrien didn’t even check up on me, not even once!

That was when reality hit me. If I kept going down this path, my life was headed for disaster.

***

Four months had passed already. I lived in this damned prison for four whole months, sleeping on the cold, bare tattered floor and feeding on non-nutritious foods.

I had even forgotten about what Adrien did to me. I just wanted to leave here and return to him because I had forgiven him already.

Atleast I still have feelings for him. I wouldn't blame him for my childlessness, it was all my fault I haven't gotten my wolf yet. Of course, I'm to blame especially when am mated to an alpha and I can't shift and stay strong beside him while he rules the pack.

To think of it, I was not even in the place to hold any grudge over him for something like that. Who was I to be angry? 

The day of my release came and I waited if he would come pick me up but my hope was dented when he didn't show up. He was no where to be found.

Luckily, I knew my way around and so I put my heels to work, trekked to the Seventh heritage Pack's estate and yes, It took me hours before I got back to the pack, all drenched in sweat because of the scorching.

But the treatment I got from the securities was one I didn't expect. 

 "We have been given orders not to let you in, my lady." One of them said, yet politely. 

 "Why?" I furrowed my brows.

"That was the order, ma'am."

I couldn't believe my ears. I requested for the head security because we had more rapport and I wanted to hear from him directly. After throwing quite the tantrum, he showed up at the gate.

"Ken, what is going on? What is this your men are saying?"

He bowed his head. "This was a special order from Alpha Adrien himself." Ken replied to me. Was I supposed to be surprised though?

Even at the news, I was still yearning to see Adrien badly, after four months of being locked up in jail. There was this pain I felt in my heart and I believed that seeing him would help me heal faster.

I remained at the gate, bleeding internally, expressing a cry of the heart. 

I was there till evening. It was not until then before Adrien arrived. The horn of his Lambo woke me up from my slumber at where I had snuggle behind a broken penthouse.

My eyes beamed with hope the moment I realized it was him.

 "Adrien." I muttered as I struggled to stand up. My knees and legs hurt and trembled weakly that I almost lost my balance but I quickly leaned against the wall to hold my weight.

He alighted from the car and his eyes widened with surprise when he saw me.

 "Mira?" He furrowed his brows.

"It's me, Adrien." I replied to him, almost tearing up.

"What are you doing here?" He inquired and I was taken aback.

 "What do you mean what I am doing here? Of course I just got released from jail and I'm back.This is our home isn't it? I'm back now." 

Adrien looked away and then turned to Ken who was already outside the huge, black gate.

 "Let her in." He ordered and then while he drove in, I walked in right behind his car. I walked my ass down the long driveway to our building and just as I was about to enter, the guards blocked me from going in all over again.

They did not even mutter a word but their behavior spoke a lot already and before any thing happened, some pack maid that I haven't met before approached with my stuff outside, in two traveling suitcases.

"W what are you doing?"

Madison walked out just in time. "My Lady." She squealed upon seeing me but then had to comport herself because of the people around watching.

Then she moved closer. "I missed you, my lady."

"Me too." I smiled faintly. Then she frowned, looking sad. "I am sorry this is happening but the Alpha said to bring your things out to you."

I was mute for a while. "It's fine, Maddie. I understand you perfectly. You can go back in, I understand."

It took a lot of coaxing before she went back in. I could see through her. She really loved me and felt so bad for me, but what could she do?

It was then I heard Adrien's voice from the balcony on the second floor. 

"Take your things and leave, Mira. I never want to see you ever again. Ken will bring the divorce papers so sign it, I already signed my own part so do yours before you take your leave."
