Blood

Ember POV

I watched in disappointment as he left, banging the door after him.

Fear was beginning to slowly fill me up as I could see our marriage crumbling underneath me and I was definitely the one that was going to lose out on everything.

Although I had told him to but I didn’t expect that he would but rather try to convince me that my doubts were nothing but mere doubts.

Thew betrayal, deceit and now this? How much more was I going to bear to protect the name Luna November McCray.

The dark enveloped as well as dark thoughts of what my marriage was turning out to be…no matter how he apologized, I still couldn’t help but blame him for exposing this family.

I was angrier at myself for letting them get to me so easily, it was obvious that this was what Ellie and her scheming dad wanted all along.

Xander choose to be too blind to see it and if by any chance I was to mention this to hearing, it would flip the tables around and make my position here threatened, giving Ellie the upper hand.

I was certain that I didn’t miss the smirk on Ellie’s face as she sighted that we were putting on the same dress I had on.

It made me wonder if this was Xander's plan to test how I would react or if somehow Ellie an her found out Xander was getting me this dress and thought it was best to taunt.

What I was more curious to know was what exactly they wanted from this family or me to be exact.

“Isn't it obvious or you just proving to be stupid?”

 I heard someone say making me jump in fright before relaxing as the figure in the room became clearer.

“Ellie? “I asked in confusion as I wondering when she entered here and how long she had been standing there watching me.

It didn’t sit well with me at me.

“Yes, Ember or should I say co-wife?” she said with a smirk plastered over her face, causing me to scoff at the different personality I was seeing.

“I knew it, I knew that face you were putting on in front was a facade and there was…”

“What exactly do you think you really know huh?!” She jeered, causing more frustration to travel through my bones and judging from her look, it seemed like that was exactly what she wanted.

I let out a sigh and breathed out, “The truth”

“Our affair started long before this pregnancy and even right under your nose” she began causing me to burst into laughter.

“What exactly is your endgame here? I care little of when and why my husband met you slut!”

“You wish, Ember…trust me when I say you wish” She jeered before letting out a laugh that told me she knew a little more than she was letting out.

Although I badly wanted to ask her to spill but I wasn’t planning her game according to her terms but rather according to my terms.

She still was going to spill anyways.

“We toyed about and sometimes I came around” she continued making me wonder if she was saying this to taunt me and all or she really meant this.

Was this the happily married life I was reminiscing about? And to think that he had convinced me to let his mistress stay in our home!

I suddenly laughed interrupting her from saying whatever she wanted to spit out and after she had watched me laugh away my stupidity, she continued.

It was almost as though we were having a laughing competition.

“Laugh all you want but it seems to me like you have forgotten who carried the child of the Alpha” She cut in causing me to wince as reality hit me…

“You calling your bastard and illegitimate child, the heir is surprising, wait till he finds out his mother was a fucking slut” I spat and for some reasons it cracked her up and this was definitely not the kind of expression I was expecting.

She came prepared and I wasn’t…I was an emotionally wreck, whatever she had in mind while coming here was working and her final blow scared me.

“Your husband didn’t tell you something very important though” she said, pulling me out of my thoughts once more.

“Lies, if you think…”

“I, Ellie Abrams is mated to Xander and it’s no wonder why he wanted me to bare his child”

I felt my whole world come crashing down on me, I knew Xander was hiding something when he had finally spilled the beans but never did, I expect something like this…this was a very heavy blow.

“Mate…” I found myself saying with my cracked voice causing her to life once more like a fucking maniac.

“Yes mate”

“Mate but you are without his mark?”

“Why are so difficult huh?” She suddenly barked seeing I wasn’t giving in like she had expected.

Even if I knew Xander and I were done for, I wasn’t just going to let her win.

“What part of we want you out don’t you understand, dummy!” She added, “He spent nights telling me how much he regrets your union.

“What?!” I exclaimed as I felt her words prick me.

“He wanted to stay over a few times but to avoid answering your queries and nags, he reluctantly ends up leaving my bed”

“I don’t believe that” I found myself yelling.

“You can’t believe that he is tired of your dry pussy!”

Unable to stop myself anymore, I walked towards her and slapped her so hard that she let out a gasp.

“The truth dearest Luna is bitter; you are just jealous that I am carrying his heir and you are just barren!”

I moved to give her another slap when she suddenly slipped and let out a loud scream that had me perplexed in confusion.

Her screams had me terrified and fright, I moved to touch her only to feel something liquid, “Blood!”
