Get Out!

Ember’s POV

I didn’t know how to feel about going to meet my husband’s side woman but knowing I had Xander beside me and not her gave me a sense of comfort.

Upon arriving at the chamber where Ellie was waiting, she immediately falls on her knees.

“Luna, I am sorry, and accept the blame to be mine, Xand…Alpha Xander never intended to touch me but h just happened to be at the wrong place when I wasn’t in control of my body”

“I know my presence here isn’t ethical but Xand…Alpha Xander requested I stay until after the baby is born then I will be out of your lives for good”

I didn’t know if her apology as supposed to make me feel any better because it further more aggravated my anger, having both of them drag who takes the blame was comical.

If she wasn’t already nurturing the thought, I am certain that she would want to take her place after giving the Alpha an heir or daughter.

“I have nothing to say to you then you shouldn’t be kneeling in your condition” I said nonchalantly.

“Ember...” I heard Xander plea but it wasn’t like I was going to be forced to like her after a mere apology.

“The only purpose I feel you are here is to serve as a competition in my marriage” I said but immediately, Xander begged to differ.

“There is no competition as we all know our places…Ember baby, you are my Luna and no one is taking that position from you…not now, not ever”

“As a matter of fact, Ellie would be given a separate room to stay in the main house, while we stay here”

Despite his explanation and reassurance, it still didn't make sense to me, letting her in was trouble and I could already see it brewing.

Especially at the point where our marriage was already shaking, I didn't want any interference in my marriage.

“Do you have a mate?” I asked curiously and didn’t miss the exchange between them before she shook her head negatively.

“I do hope you know what you are doing and have thought of the dangers involved in this deal” I mind linked Xander, keeping Ellie under the scrutiny of my hot gaze.

“A possibility of people in the pack thinking he had a second wife and all sort of rumors that could be spread from it” I added.

“I have this all planned out” he mind linked back causing me to frown, to think that we were making this decision together when he already had laid out plans.

“The child in question would be yours to cater for as Ellie would no longer be with us after she had given birth to the child” he added.

I was still quite confused and was filled with so much doubt, judging from the looks of it…I had no choice but to accept.

The consequences would be dire and I wondered what fate had in store for me as deep down I knew that I had just accepted to share my husband with his other woman entirely.

Without saying anything, I left the room for both of them to clear my head, ignoring Xander calls.

As I laid on the bed wrapped with my thoughts, I felt Xander’s familiar arms sneak in around my waist causing me to still before gently removing his hands.

“This solves nothing!” I said, clearing him of any thoughts he was nurturing.

“Emb…”

“The thought of sharing you with another woman especially one carrying your first child is irritating and you have to understand me here”

“I do and I am so sorry for putting this on you…”, I interrupted him by saying, “Your apologies are just mere words Xander, prove to me how sorry you are”

“Tonight, the pack is holding a party to celebrate our newly signed deal, would you be my date?” he asked and for a brief moment I was reminded of the man I had married…the man that had charmed me effortlessly.

“Do I have a choice?” I said, lightly causing him to chuckle before adding, “I had a dress specially designed for you and I will leave you to prepare”

He placed a chaste kiss on my forehead and thoughts of a better future flashed; maybe, just maybe we were going to overcome this together.

Despite the rough patches our marriage was going through, I vowed within me not to allow it weigh me down.

Later that evening, several of the pack members, from within and outside other pack all troop in to grace the occasion.

“Are you ready?” I heard Xander caused, causing me to pause to stare at the handsome man I had married.

I was dressed in a green dress that complimented my eyes and as much I loved the dress, I didn’t flutter him by expressing that like to his hearing.

“Yes” I whispered, before tucking my hands in his.

Upon getting downstairs with him, I could feel eyes on us, some of the pack members were from Ellie's pack and they had accompanied the Alpha, her father.

Seating besides my husband at our designated seat, my eyes meet Ellie's and I couldn’t stop the gasp of surprise that escaped my lips.

She flashed me a smirk before turning to face her father who was saying things to his guests.

“I am certain that this was custom made for you, baby” I heard Xander mind linked as they walked towards us, it became obvious she was trying to gain more attention.

After exchanging pleasantries, they both began discussing while Ellie put on her innocent look once more and carefully watched everyone but me.

“You made the right choice Xander, I knew you would be a better Alpha than your late father of blessed memory was” I heard her father say.

“Ellie would be fit to make a perfect mother of his child” I heard him add, further infuriating me and hearing Xander say nothing to contest to that did it for me.

My emotions were suddenly in control and in other not to look weak, I needed to get to my privacy and seeing I was unable to hold myself anymore, I retired back upstairs, ignoring the watchful eyes and the attention I had drawn as Xander called after me.

Just as the tears began flowing uncontrollably, the door suddenly opened and Xander stepped in.

“What was that about? You literally had people’s tongue wagging by the way you left” I scoffed.

“This is all your fucking fault, if you had just controlled your fucking dick, these talks won’t be on anyone's lips”

“You heard him back there and choose to be fucking coward and keep silent...Really! Fit to be your Luna!” I yelled

He opened his mouth and let out a very shitty explanation that only did a good job in fueling my anger.

“I just want rest, please go back to your baby mama and father in-law” I yelled, tired of his useless apologies.

“Ember what are you saying?” he foolishly asked.

“GET OUT!”
