Chapter 1

Lily's POV

I knew exactly what Adriel wanted, he wanted for me to disappear, to leave the pack house and never come back. But I refused to let them have their way. I was determined to make them pay, to leave a mark that would remind them of my presence. I wouldn't let them think they'd won, that they had broken me without a fight.

Here's a rewritten version with more emotional intensity and betrayal:

My heart filled with a burning desire for revenge as I reflected on the way Adriel had simply discarded me just because he wanted to. The revelation that he had been cheating on me with my own sister was a huge blow. How could I have been expected to carry a child when our relationship was already tainted by his infidelity? The wolf aura that once bound us was now tinted, making it impossible for me to bear a child. For so long, I had blamed myself, wondering if I was weak or cursed. But now, I realized that Adriel was the root of all my problems, and yet, he had the audacity to blame me for our misfortunes.

I wandered in the garden, lost in my thoughts. My mind filled with thoughts of revenge against Adriel and Carly. The garden, it had borne witness to countless tears, and I felt an overwhelming sense of sorrow wash over me as I stood there.

My gaze fell upon the lily flower section, its delicate white petals moving gently in the breeze near the soft gurgle of the water fountain. I felt a pang in my heart as I gazed at the flowers, their elegance and purity a stark contrast to the ugliness that had destroyed my marriage. I couldn't help but think that I had once hoped my union with Adriel would be as beautiful and unblemished just as these lilies.

He had and I'm pretty sure Adriel revealed his new Luna, he no longer wanted me. I can't stay here wanting him to be with me, but I'll pretend as though I can't leave him and use this chance to make sure I see them in tears. If the people I'd loved and gave all my hearts to turned out to cause me such pain, then I wouldn't pity them.

I'll do the needful, I beat my chest several times!

I became really angry at why he would waste my time and blame me for being a weak Luna when actually he's the cause of this?

“I will make them pay for this!” I turned towards the pack estate which stood some meters away and gazed at it with fiery anger, balling my fist and gnashing my teeth. My heart was burning with revenge as a series of things played in my mind.

I turned around, my heart racing in anticipation. But nothing could have prepared me for what I saw. My eyes widened in shock, my jaw dropping as I struggled to process the unexpected scene that was unfolding before me.

“What?” My voice came out before I got the time to process what I was actually thinking.

“Auntie? You look like my mom.”

I was still in shock. This was a little boy, about three years old, who looked so much like Alpha Adriel. Their faces looking so identical made it obvious that I didn't need a DNA test to know that this is his son but I needed to confirm.

“ Little boy, come closer.” I said with a serious tone. He walked towards me. “Who did you come here with?”

“I came with my mom, your sister, and told me that my aunt lives here and she's coming back to take her rightful place from you. I hate you!” He shrugged his shoulders. “You kept dad from coming over to stay with us.”

“Huh?” I raised my face to scan my surroundings, eventually rubbing my eyes to make sure that this was real and not a dream I was having.

“What did you just say?” I asked. I needed to because if true, Alpha Adriel would be the most wicked soul on earth.

"She told me Dad was staying here with you, which is why he couldn't live with us. But he promised to visit us every time.”

"That's not what I was told," I said, my brow furrowing in confusion. "I thought your mom was a student abroad and had just graduated. What's going on?”

Here's a rewritten version with more emotional intensity and surprise:

The little boy's face scrunched up in a pout. "What do you mean? Mom's never been a student! She owns a huge mini-mall in Germany!"

“Are you sure of–”

“Lily.” Adriel called out from behind me, I turned immediately, disgust filled my whole being when I saw it was Adriel but I managed to compose myself. I didn't want to be forced out of the estate before I achieved my goal. Within me, the hate for him tripled due to him wasting my time while had a family behind my back and the worst part of it was him torturing me with his words, bad treatment and causing the senior pack members to follow suit just to veil the evil he's doing, so no one knows the truth.

“Dad!” The little boy ran towards him and embraced him.

"Luiz, return to the house. What are you doing out here?" Adriel's voice was firm, but was filled with a hint of warning. Luiz nodded obediently and rushed towards the house, leaving Adriel alone with me.

As soon as Luiz left, Adriel turned to face me. Our gaze met, and I could feel the air thickening with tension. My teeth gnashed together in anger, my fists clenched at my sides. The rage bubbling inside me threatened to boil over, but I managed to hold it in.

“What are you still doing here?” He asked me with an evil grin, my face became even tighter. “You've heard many secrets from Luiz, I suppose and I'm pretty sure you're planning a coup–” He leaned towards my direction and I shivered, wondering how come he knew what I was planning inside of me. He spoke with a really cold voice and at the same time had a sinister smirk before our attention was distracted.

“Alpha–” The chief of his guards whom he'd asked to update the guests on the party was here and he was really panting. Something must be wrong!

He bowed when he turned to him.

“We're just informed that the three Alphas of the west have come for a surprise visit. They said they are here to get the pay for the debt our pack has been owing Western Union Pack. If you can't pay in cash, you could pay another way. They have run out of patience.”

I heard his gasp.

“The money is thirty million dollars!” He muttered to himself.

The moment this was mentioned, I gasped. Such a huge amount!

Western Union Pack Alphas were dreaded demons, ruthless monsters and the most powerful Alphas on earth. There's nothing to fear about Adriel should he be compared with the three Alphas. They were the worst beasts in the whole world, strict, merciless and gruesome.

Vincenzo was their leader, being the eldest, the most gruesome. Alessandro, the second and the playboy among them while the youngest, Marco, was the most serious. All of them were very handsome and ruthless, nonetheless.

In fact they were the real definition of the devil occupied in three bodies itself.

My gaze locked onto Adriel, and I rejoiced at the sight of him shaking with rage. His face was turned from red to pale, evidence of the fear brewing inside him. I couldn't help but grin, enjoying the sweet taste of his distress.

The thought of adding more fuel to the fire, of pushing Adriel even further to the edge, was satisfying. And it was all thanks to the three Alphas, the only ones who could reduce my cheating husband, a strong and ruthless Alpha in his, to a quivering mess. It was a truly wonderful sight, and one that I would never get tired of.

“How can I let this chance pass me? No way” I muttered to myself. “I might never have another chance again.”

“They requested to see both of you, Luna!” The servant said and I nodded with a tight grin. Adriel was shocked seeing me not shaking at all rather I was filled with so much confidence. I'm pretty sure he wanted to ask why, if he did, I would give him a response that would really touch him.

“What? But I wasn't part of the debt? You never included me in anything.” I would say with sarcasm.

Truly, he didn't involve me in any activity of the pack even though I was his Luna, little did I know that he kept another wife.

When we arrived upstairs where the Alphas were, I felt a strong aura in the room. My wolf jumped up with excitement and my jaw dropped. I tried to process what was going on, suddenly I saw three huge and muscular, charming young men, the most handsome I've ever seen. They had long, black hair falling over their shoulders, I shamelessly scanned my eyes down their body, gawking at their hot, muscular stature. My core clenched then I looked down and realized that I was just in a bathroom robe.

Lust overwhelmed me. I will be doing something crazy soon. I could sense the aura of lust hovering around between these Alphas and I, no girl could resist them. Merely seeing their faces, their glowing eyes and shivering lips, I knew what they had in mind. I turned to check out Adriel, he was standing right beside me without any motion, eyes switching between these Alphas and myself. I could sense jealousy but I winked my eyes, flinching my face back to the Alphas.

It was like a dream! I thought I was in heaven for a moment watching as my betrayer husband was getting the pains he deserved.

“Hey Adriel, is she your Luna?” One of the three asked him, looking at him with an intense gaze. I watched him to see what he was going to say. The door opened at this moment and Carly walked in. The way he looked at me, he wanted to accept that I'm his Luna but when Carly walked in, I grinned.

This is what I've been waiting for!

“Yes, she is–” he stammered, ignoring Carly’s presence.

I furrowed my brows. “No, not at all. Look at his Luna walking in.” I pointed to Carly. “We are mates, so I have nothing to do with him.” I shrugged my shoulders, rejecting him outrightly. His eyes poked out, he couldn't believe it.

“But you asked me to give you a chance as my Luna. You no longer want me?”

"Why would I ever want you?" I said my voice was steady and cold. "You've repeatedly cheated on me with my own sister, and treated me like dirt beneath your feet. And you have the audacity to think I'd still want you?"

I glared at Adriel, my eyes blazing with disgust, as I finally exposed his deceit before the Alphas he feared. My heart pounded in my chest, but I refused to back down, refusing to show even a hint of fear. I was done being intimidated, done being controlled. It was time for the truth to come to light.

“Wait! He did that to you?” The eldest of them, Vincenzo, sprang up storming towards Adrian. I could sense a disaster so I quickly blocked my ears but then I felt a firm grip over my waist. Another hand doubled from my right while I heard a hard spank. Slowly, I looked up. Alessandro and Marco were both by my sides, draping their hands over me while Vincenzo dealt with Adriel.

“How could you do that to our mate?” He barked at him.

“For that, you have to refund your debt right away or leave the ruling of your pack to us as a collateral till you're able to pay us.”

I immediately covered my widened mouth upon hearing this. My heart skipped with so much joy, I felt my hormones rocking inside of me, it couldn't be harder trying to compose myself than at this moment.

Carly rushed up to Adriel, grabbing his arms and shaking in fear.

“Please say something, sister, they are your mates, they will listen.” She begged.

The air was filled with suspense as I looked at her with an icy stare. My eyes bored into hers, willing her to recall the events of just a few minutes prior, when she had stood shoulder to shoulder with Adriel, ready to strike me down.
