"How did that wench glow up like that?" Zaria paced her room up and down, not able to get Cora off her mind. She saw the cars and escorts all just because she wanted to buy a building. What if she was actually going to an event? Zaria couldn't shake off the feeling of envy raging inside of her. She wanted everything Cora had. "I'm convinced that she slept her way up there. There's no other way she could have done it." She concluded maliciously. "And did you see the way he was looking at her? That man is definitely having something to do with that. I will show him that he can't use me and run back to his ex-wife that easily." She clicked her tongue. Her phone vibrated in her pocket. Without looking at the caller, she picked up. "What is it, Liam?" She questioned as she plonked to her bed. "Are you done staring so lovingly at your ex-wife? You know, sometimes I think you're cheating on me..." "Uhh... Sorry, I'm not Liam." The deep voice from the other end interrupted her. She imm
"Are you okay sweetie?" Cora asked as she gave her child a scrutinizing look. Lisa was crying as though she had gotten a major injury but it was just a slight brush on her elbow. Cora sighed in relief. She had thought something bad happened to her child. "Don't scare me like that baby." She cried her in her arms but she was crying seriously. "Are you hurt anywhere, baby?" "Daddy..." She mumbled, not sounding clear to Cora. "Candy? I could get that for you." She cooed and stroked her hair gently. "No, Daddy!" She exclaimed. "Daddy?" Cora hissed. She knew Lisa was referring to Dante. Lisa's cry intensified and she refused to calm down, despite all the efforts made to make her stop. The neighboring patients began to complain, forcing her to call Dante over. "You are going to pay for this, baby." She rolled her eyes, waiting for the hero of the day to arrive. It took him about twenty minutes to round up his work and rush to the hospital. All that while, Lisa didn't stop crying. Th
"What's the meaning of this?!" Liam thundered, making Zaria flinch. "Where did you go to last weekend?" His tone was calm but deadly. "You better start speaking up before I lose my cool!" He commanded, making her wolf submit. "How is it your business if I went out? Didn't I tell you I was going to visit a relative of mine who lived in the big city?" She questioned innocently. "If you were listening to me, you would have known. And why are you shouting at me?" She fired back more fiercely this time. "And you were having s*x with this relate of yours? Is that it?" He tilted his head, trying to cool his temper. He wanted nothing but to pounce on her and give her the beating of her life. "Where did I go wrong, Zaria? Where?" Pain struck his throat as he spoke. He stood up so he could have a clearer view of the cheater. "I did everything you asked of me. I gave you everything you wanted and this is how you repay me?" Zaria gulped hard. Did he find out she went to see someone else?
Cora "You don't know how much my blood boils whenever I oversee such a case. Did you know this guy has been hitting her for years and threatened to kill her if she ever mentioned it to anyone?" "Yes, you mentioned that earlier." Flora rolled her eyes she served me a bottle of cold water. I chugged down a large quantity and dropped the can roughly. "Careful, Cora. You might actually hurt the can." She snatched the can from me and kept it far away. "Whatever. I don't think you understand my point." I groaned and covered my face with my palms. "I understand you perfectly Cora. You hate cheating men and they irritate you. But then again, there's nothing you can actually do about it. That's the kind of world we live in. It will keep happening again and again." "Well, I'm fine with it as long as it doesn't happen to me." "Men are very unpredictable. I know that for a fact." She folded her hands and faced me with a deadpan expression. "What if your husband cheats on you?" She asked m
Cora Excitement coursed through my veins as I stared at the positive test result. Joy washed over me and for a moment, I forgot about my pain. I wanted to let Liam know that if he only had been patient, he would have gotten what he wanted. "Thank you, Doctor Carol. Thank you." I walked over and embraced her lightly. "You deserve this gift, Luna." She replied. After bidding her farewell, I took a cab back to the pack house. The few staff outside greeted me warmly and with joy in my heart, I replied to them kindly. I wanted to share the news with Flora. She had been the one who had always given me hope. She was like a source of light but somehow, I decided to hide it from everybody. I wanted to confirm it myself first before letting anybody know. I've had several miscarriages in my first year of marriage and I wanted to make sure this baby will survive before giving myself hope. I walked through the door only to meet the two people I didn't want to see. My mother-in-law and Zaria.
I cried myself to sleep that night. I didn't even eat. I had lost my every will to do anything. My body felt numb by the time I woke up. I stared at the sun rays sneaking into my room through the half opened window. My life was as shiny and blinding as the sun but now, an eclipse happened and I'm surrounded by total darkness. I didn't know where I want to go from here. I was more or less in a ditch. My right hand instinctively went to my stomach and gave it a small rub. A smile formed on my lips as the thought of carrying a tiny human being came to my mind. I was finally going to be a mother after five years. "I will protect you, my baby, from everybody that has hurt your mommy." I whispered as I gazed at my stomach. Since I wasn't the luna anymore, I wanted to just stay at home and have some 'me' time but I had to leave my toxic environment. It wasn't good for my health. I had a quick bath and rushed downstairs to prepare something to eat. I was starving to death. "What are you d
After that incident, I made sure to stay away from Zaria and her allies. I just wanted to be able to settle everything before I travel out of the country. I needed my child to never see her ugly face ever in his or her life. It's been three weeks but there wasn't any noticeable change in my body. Although frantically, I do go for scans to check if my baby is healthy. And it was always a positive result. My baby was here to stay. The baby represented a light in my dark world. I wouldn't allow anybody to quench that light. "Your dress looks so nice, luna Cora." Amy blushed as she stared at my perfectly shaped gown. I was there for my first fitting because of the upcoming Tengen Awards. It was a gathering of elites from different parts of the country where the best of the best are chosen and this year, I was invited. Well, Liam too was invited. Kill joy. But I was glad we weren't going there together. We were at the liberty of bringing someone to the party."You look stunning, my lady.
Cora I had never felt this hurt before. I knew it was only a matter of time before he would raise his hands on me but I didn't expect it to be sooner. The smile I saw on Zaria's face made me furious and I wanted to attack her but security came and dragged me outside. I felt humiliated. I let my guard down and let those idiots ruin my reputation. Now, I never want to show my face at the Tengen Awards again. "The alpha said you shouldn't be let into the house." The guards said the moment I approached the gates. "Are you okay? If you want to keep your jobs, let me through." I tried to force myself through but they blocked me. "I said, let me through!" In the process of struggling, one of them pushed me back so hard that I fell to the ground. I hissed in pain as I felt I had strained my waist. But that was the least of my problems. I just hoped my child was safe. My hands went to my small stomach immediately."I'm sorry, luna, but we have a duty to our alpha." He said with pleading ey
