Do you know how it feels to be a spectator in a theatre, watching a movie but having absolutely no control over what is happening? That was exactly what was unfolding in the villa as I turned around from where Clara had fallen to the ground to see Conrad looking at us with wide eyes from where he was standing at the entrance.Like something out of a movie, Conrad rushed towards us, pushing me aside as he helped Clara who was pretending to be really hurt as she wiped tears from her face, to her feet.Touching her cheeks gently, he looked into her eyes with panic and love. Love that was missing anytime he looked at me and from the way he touched her body with familiarity, I had no doubt that they were seeing each other in secret, a truth that made me feel like a knife was being squeezed into my heart."Are you alright? Did she hurt you?" Conrad asked her and when Clara shrugged, still wiping at her eyes, he patted her hair gently and helped her to dust her clothes."I don't know what I did to her that made her push me." Clara lied, her sniffles becoming even more atrocious because I knew she was pretending.Conrad looked at me, his eyes blazing hot with anger and Nina, my wolf tried to calm me down but when she saw that I was going to be the one yet again on the receiving end of hate because of another woman, she felt depressed.She told me that Conrad misunderstood the situation and I answered my innocent loyal wolf that it was not the first time. It was not the first time that Conrad was choosing someone else over her. He always chose everyone else but her. He never took her side. It was heartbreaking to watch.Holding Clara's hand, he frowned at me."Apologize to her right now, Katherine." He yelled, his tone vicious and yet it moved nothing in me. I could not believe that at one point, I would be shaken when Conrad yelled at me and would cry for hours. Now I was as hard as ice.I just stood there in silence, the exact same way I had been standing since Clara played this game with me. And when I realized that I could not take this display of solidarity and support that my husband was busy displaying for his lover, I turned around to leave."Stop right there." Conrad roared with his Alpha's voice.The voice was a very potent instrument that made wolves bend to do their Alpha's bidding.But the only thing that happened when he screamed at me was the scoff that came from my mouth as I turned back to look at him."You really still think you're my Alpha, don't you?" How about this? Since we are already divorced, you are no longer my Alpha. Does that make sense to you and your tramp?"Clara's eyes widened as she looked taken aback by my words and I didn't care one bit as her crocodile tears ran down her face. On the other hand, I realized that there was nothing else that I had to lose and crossing the distance between us, I slapped Clara hard across the face.Her mouth fell open in a gasp and Conrad's eyes darkened as he pushed me to the ground."How dare you?" He roared as he bent to look at me and I finally snapped. All that control that I kept in place. That I kept an iron clad hand on finally snapped into pieces.Bringing my phone out from my pocket, I shoved it in to his hand, ready to damn the consequences of whatever was going to happen after I revealed the truth because whether or not he believed me, I was done with the marriage and I knew that there was nothing that could save this marriage anymore."I would like you to check that phone and see for yourself who it was that drugged you last night." I yelled and when his brows furrowed in confusion and doubt, I laughed even though it was bitter and lacked any trait of joy.Clearing my throat, I rose to my feet and dusted my body, ready to continue."After the quarrel in the morning, I mind linked one of the warriors to investigate the source of your being drugged and do you know what? It turns out that it is your beloved angel, your lover Clara that you met last night before you even met with me. And she was the one that put something inside your glass. She then asked your driver to send you to the pack hotel instead of home to me but what she did not know, what she had no idea about was that the driver was loyal to me. So he brought you back home instead of to the pack hotel. Read everything there. Everything is written right now." I screamed, panting when I was done but feeling relieved that I had said my truth.Clara on the other hand looked so pale, like all the blood had been drained from her face and she glared at me."You're a motherfucking bloody liar!" She screamed, her hands shaking at her side as she walked towards where Conrad was now standing and took his hand."Don't mind her. She's lying." She cried and shook like a leaf but Conrad looked speechless. He opened his mouth to say something but could not as his eyes finally landed on mine.Grabbing my phone from his hand, I dusted my clothes and growled at Clara, which shut her up immediately because at the end of the day, I had the blood of an Alpha running through my veins."I don't care if you believe me or your little lover. But this is my parting gift to you, Conrad. Do with the information whatever you wish."Turning around, I headed upstairs to the bedroom to pack my things but as I climbed the first step, I looked back to see the two of them watching me.Conrad looked like he had no idea what to say to me while Clara looked like she wanted the ground to swallow her.Good.She would finally understand how everyone of them in this pack made me feel.My wolf praised me for doing a good job and I sighed, fighting back tears because she supported my decision even though it was the most difficult thing to ever do. Because I had never thought in my wildest dreams that I would give up on my mate.My face was cold as I locked eyes with Conrad again and my hands tightened into fists."This will probably be the last time you see me as your wife. The next time we will meet, even though I would rather eat broken glass than see you, it will be as strangers. You don't deserve me. Not your pack. Not your family and certainly not you, most of all. I hope that you find whatever you are looking for."And I walked away.Related chapters

Conrad"This will probably be the last time you see me as your wife. The next time we will meet, even though I would rather eat broken glass than see you, it will be as strangers. You don't deserve me. Not your pack. Not your family and certainly not you, most of all. I hope that you find whatever you are looking for." Katherine said, her grey eyes cutting deep into me and for the very first time as she looked at me, I saw hatred. Intense hatred.Not once in three years even after everything I had done to her had her eyes ever looked this cold.But as her eyes looked like swirls of storm and as she turned her back on me, I knew that she would never beg me to love her again. That she was indeed done with the marriage.It stunned me into silence and I did not even realize that I had started moving towards the stairs after her until someone held my hand and when I tried to pull away, Clara sobbed.Angry, I dragged her out of the house towards where my car was as she kept crying."Stop it

KatherineExhausted from the long walk home, I dumped the contents of my bag on the kitchen counter. It had been two days since I left Conrad's house. I had rented a small apartment still in the Shadow pack.While I was still the Luna of Shadow pack, I was exempted from doing things like this, going to the mall, having a job, cooking, cleaning. My roles and duties were quite different but now I had to do everything myself. When I divorced Conrad, I had automatically given up all the perks and privileges of being a Luna.Though the black card, that my father's Beta handed to me made me rich overnight, I wanted to stay on the low for the time being. I had to be responsible for myself and make my own decisions. I was so tired and thirsty that I had to use the last ounce of energy in me to get cold water from the fridge which I hastily gulped down, then fell back on the kitchen stool.The kitchen had already become a mess with the way I dumped what I got from the grocery shop, but I plan

KatherineI stood in front of the mirror and looked at myself hours later. I was staring at a shadow of myself. Eyes red rimmed from crying, mascara stained cheek and that blank stare. They did this to me. Conrad, his mother, Clara and every last one of them, contributed to this. A wave of hate and anger coursed through me at the thought. I embraced it. Anger was good, better than the hurt I had felt.Thinking about Conrad, I sat down heavily on the bed, staring at the wall unseeingly. Why did I not hate him as much as I wanted to? Why was there a part of me that felt sad when the look of pain crossed his face and why did I feel that twinge of happiness when I saw him? My feelings were all messed up. Exhausted physically and emotionally, I stretched on my bed and drifted off to sleep.I woke with a start. It was pitch black outside, morning already. I felt restless . My wolf growled. She definitely needed some fresh air. Putting on my favorite joggers and a pair of sneakers, I grabb

KatherineWaking up in at the mansion, my former home, felt strange at first. I guessed it was because of the sense of ownership I now felt.As the owner of the house now, I stayed in the master bedroom, a place Conrad had occupied alone. The walls were still the same, a combination of blue and white that complimented the drapes. I had instructed the interior designer to make as little changes as possible. The king size bed, dressers and walk in closet were also not replaced.Propping myself up on my elbows, I turned to look at the empty space where Conrad had once occupied. Hoping to get a whiff of his scent, I sniffed the sheets but only got a whiff of the fragrance of fresh laundry.Sighing, I rearranged my robe, then walked over to the patio of the bedroom, slid the glass doors open and stepped out.The weather was bright, the sky a crisp, clear blue. I stared at the vast expanse of land below. The bedroom was in the south wing of the house surrounded by the woods I had enjoyed r

At that point, their words and laughter really meant nothing to me, nor did it affect me in the slightest way possible. It was already blatantly obvious that Conrad's mother had invited Clara over for the purpose of taunting me, however I had no intentions to succumb to their games. I wasn't the little girl who wept over such puerile commentaries and games, I had grown out of my juvenile mentality.I had taken solace in my room after the drama downstairs, I intended to ignore their existence as much as possible, and I was going to do just that. As a newly enacted manager of the red moon pack, I certainly had work to do, but the moving of houses had me occupied most of the time.I settled beside my study table and opened up my laptop. I had received prior notification from Aiden that some documents had been sent to my mail, and I had to verify them and send information back to him. It was exactly what I was going to do. Why would I ever waste my time worrying about bitter entities who

It had been roughly two weeks since I was gifted a car by Conrad, and I thought my life was finally going to being normal. Lately I'd been feeling nauseous, and had a fluctuating migraine every now and then.I was stressed, and I could guess it was from the pile of work that I had waiting for me.I never expected being a Manager of a large company to be an easy work, but neither had I expected it to be so demanding and energy draining. Not only that, but it was time consuming too. I spent most of my days locked up in the study, typing away on my computer, or seated behind a desk and still typing away on my computer.It had been a long week, but I barely noticed that two weeks had gone by because the time I spent on work. I rarely noticed Lina's presence in the house, though every now and then Clara would pay her a visit for their normal gossip rounds. I could tell they were still mad about the car even though half a month had passed by, but I really didn't care. I flexed the car in fr

ConradSeeing her run out of the study in the manner she did instantly got me worried. I suspected that she will fall sick from overworking herself, but I didn't expect it to be so severe. In fact, that wasn't something that could happen from overworking.She was visibly unwell, and it was clearly something serious which required medical attention.I raced after her into the bathroom to make sure she was doing fine.And there, I found her crouched over the sink, and she was throwing up. My heart had skipped a beat at the sight, and I was immediately alarmed to see her in such condition. I tried to walk forward towards her, but the moment i attempted to enter the room, her voice stopped me in my tracks."Don't come in here, stay where you are" she protested against me coming in. I stood still for a moment, but later on I found the courage to oppose her words."What do you mean Katherine? You clearly need help," I returned, not willing to bend to her words this time around."I said that

Chapter 12ConradThe drive from the company to my residence was roughly an hour depending on traffic. I and Frank had successfully handled the issues with the breachers, and currently I was exhausted. I drove the car into the large compound of the mansion I occupied, and carelessly parked it by the side. There was no energy left to enter the garage.With the remaining strength in me, I pulled my almost limp and sluggish body towards the house. What I needed right now was a quick shower and a very good rest.I walked into the house and met the waiting figure of Clara lying on the couch."Welcome, I prepared dinner" She said to me with a smile. I flashed her a weak smile before proceeding to settle on the couch next to her. I was so exhausted that going upstairs without a little minute of rest might actually cause me to pass out."Thank you, but I'm not hungry at the moment" I told her while I unbuttoned my shirt halfway."What's the matter, you look stressed" Clara inquired."Trouble

KatherineIt was autumn, my best season of the year. I liked autumn because it signified transitions and new beginnings which was exactly what had happened to me.The mix of warm and cool colors and leaves on trees changing from green to vibrant shades of red, yellow, and orange, creating a picturesque landscape was just beautiful. These leaves eventually fall to the ground, creating a crisp, rustling sound as they brush against one another in the wind.The cool autumn air often accompanied by strong and gusty winds blows the leaves around. The air was always full of the smell of burning wood, cinnamon, and pumpkin spice emanating from households as families light up fires and bake delicious treats to warm up.It was all perfect as was my life now.I was sitted on the couch in my sitting room taking in the contents of the news that I could understand while reflecting on my life."Ricardo."I caught a glimpse of the name on the television screen and my mind wandered to all that happen

Conrad'"Keep them both detained," I barked at one of the warriors. I couldn't afford letting Andrea and Ricardo's girlfriend slip out of my grasp. Thankfully, my warriors had come on time to save me from getting shot by Andrea, but they might not always be available and it seemed to me that he was like a beast that could attack at anytime. They were chained but there was no telling what they could have up their sleeves.I turned back to tend to Ricardo's body lying half dead on the floor. He had been shot in the chest.Before we left the field where everything had happened, Katherine had somehow managed to notice that Ricardo was still breathing though it was with so much trouble. We managed to get him back to the pack mansion to see if there was a way that we could save him, and though I feared that the chances were slim, I could not just put it to Katherine like that. It was definitely going to hurt her so much. And just as I went on with my thought process, her voice interrupt

Katherine.It made no sense, all that Rachael was saying. I had just met her yesterday without a proper introduction even and suddenly, she had been planning on destroying my life and ruining my marriage.I turned to Riccardo, hoping that one of us would make sense of what Rachael was saying, but his eyes were on his girlfriend, obviously disappointed by her actions. I could feel the rage surging through his veins, and I reached for his hand and squeezed it lightly. I was disappointed and angry too, but I needed my child alive. “Quit the drama, Rachael, and hand my child over to me. It's obvious you don't know me, I can understand you are angry that Conrad and I are back together but, you don't know me, so please, hand me back my child. How can you all of a sudden be the one who has been trying to kill me when I don't know you.”“Argh!” She yelled out in frustration as she dumped my child into Ricardo's girlfriend's hands, “That right there is what you do that makes me mad, I attack y

Katherine.A feeling of nostalgia hit my stomach as we pulled up in front of Conrad’s house, a place that was once mine, too. I had only been away for a year, yet it felt as though it had been an eternity. Blowing out a rush of air, I turned to look at Conrad to meet his eyes on mine.“You are nervous,” he said with certainty in his voice and I nodded, “don’t be, please. You don’t have any reasons to.” I nodded again as he took my hand to give it a light squeeze.“Okay,” I said in response to the look he was giving me. Reaching for the back seat, he grabbed the baby carrier and stepped out of the car while hurrying to my side to help me out.I bit the inside of my cheek to keep my nerves down, yet my stomach churned as we stepped into the front porch. With the glass of wine left on the table there, I figured Conrad's mom was around, and those pair of critic's eyes were the first thing I met as we stepped into the house.“Katherine?” Her eyes were narrowed in surprise. She dropped the

ConradI was on the road like a maniac, according to Ricardo, Katherine was somewhat being held hostage at home and he wanted me to assist in breaking her out. I understood perfectly well what he meant, and I was rushing over there to carry out what was required of me. I wasn't doing this because of some sort of feelings attached, Katherine had saved me moments ago, it was only natural that I paid her back what I owed. My mother Lina was against my coming here, but there was no way I was letting someone who had saved me moments ago just get killed or harassed. She probably feared that me getting friendly with Katherine was going to trigger some sort of feelings in me, but after assuring her that my loyalty laid with Rachel, she allowed me to leave.The car came to a halt in front of the Patterson mansion, and without hesitation I stormed into into the place. On my way I had knocked down some few guards who dared to oppose me, but I did well not to kill them. In fact I was done with t

KatherineI stood in awe at the scene before me while trying to digest everything I had just witnessed. Frank was dead, and to be killed by Conrad? It was definitely a twist I hadn't expected. Nothing was ever as it seemed, I thought Clara was evil and all, but now I was convinced that monsters existed, and for some reason I felt like there was a greater evil lying in wait for the perfect time. I had no idea what to do at this point. Should I console Conrad or take my leave? Leaving when Conrad was at verge of breaking down emotionally was definitely a bad idea. He had just lost his best friend, there was no way I could just straight up leave without saying some words of comforts to him at least."I'm sorry things turned out this way. I never expected this to happen." "It's okay, you did the right thing, everything is my fault. Thank you for the help." Conrad replied. I was honestly surprised he was even able to speak in such a state, he was definitely stronger than I had imagined.

ConradI sat quietly before the council, and so did the other attendants of this meeting. Ever since Clara's murder I hadn't gotten a whiff of anything good. Things were spiraling out of control with every passing minute, and now here I was seated before the wolf council, waiting to be tried for a murder I didn't commit.Clara's father was present, as well as Lina and Rachel alongside Frank. The anxiety was clear on everybody's face, aside from Frank who has been awfully neutral about this entire case. "So tell me Mr Alaric, what evidence do you have to back up your claims of innocence? Do you have an alibi that can confirm your location at the time of Clara's kidnap and murder?"I didn't have anyone who I could say was my alibi, whoever that was framing me had done the job almost perfectly, I had no arguments to throw out as a claim of my innocence except saying it. "Do you really have to ask if that Monster did it?! The evidence is clear, he murdered my daughter and he should be pu

Katherine.The compound was bustling with people who were coming in to drop off the things that Dad, Andrea and Theresa had ordered for the wedding…my wedding and from my window with which I had been looking down from for the past few days, I admired the workers, at least, they were really working hard toward the wedding and not unenthusiastic as I was.My eyes followed the two men who had brought flowers as they walked back to their car and started the engines to leave. I was waiting for something to happen and just as I expected, the guards by the gate stopped then to thoroughly search their car. “Oh come on,” I groaned with a sigh as I backed away from the window. The security around the house had grown too tight since the first day Theresa came, and I wondered if Dad had read my thoughts and seen my desire to run away or if it was Andrea who was trying all he could to see I married him.Given the now tight security, my desire to run seemed near-impossible but, I needed to leave t

Conrad.The person staring back at me in the mirror was not me, he may look like me but, he certainly wasn't me, he was the shadow of my old self, but I did like him. I appreciate the way he mocked me, his eyes, they mocked me and I appreciate it, his mocking glare was the only thing that kept me sane. It was the only thing that reminded me that I was not supposed to break.'You are an Alpha, Conrad, you have a pack to lead,' that was what he said to me.The door to my room came open and from the corner of my eyes, I saw Rachael walk in, she was the other thing that kept me sane. Her reassuring words and her pleasant smiles had been of great help these past few days.“Leaving for work already?” She asked as she went to occupy the couch that was positioned next to the dressing table.Running my fingers through my hair, I turned my body to her before slowly tearing my eyes away from the mirror, "yeah, I think it's time I went back to the office, I have lots of things to do at the office
