Chapter 001

Holding my breath for a minute as I calm myself down because of excitement, I take my phone out to call Alpha Rouge, the Alpha of our pack and the youngest billionaire in Pennsylvania, my husband. We have been married for almost five years, but the problem is I can’t bear a child, reason why our marriage is slowly crumbling down.

Some members of our pack looked down on Rouge for having a Luna who can’t give him his successor. But now, seeing the pregnancy test showed the two lines gave hope in my heart that I can still save our marriage.

“Cassandra, I’m in the hospital right now, taking care of Rachel. If you have something to say, spare it for later once I come home, and if you want anything, just tell the maids and they will give it to you.” His cold voice cut the little hope in my heart as he answered the phone.

He is with Rachel, his beloved childhood friend.

My fingers trembled as I kept a hold on my phone; keeping faith in him and his loyalty to me.

I chuckled nervously. “You’re with Rachel? What happened, Rouge? Is she okay? I would like you to—”

“Come on, Cass. Stop pretending like you don’t know what happened to her when, in fact, it is you who caused this to her!”

“What? I don’t know what you’re talking about, Rouge.”

He laughed with irritation in his tone.

“You know what? You sound so desperate. Telling me a lie just to save yourself from humiliation and blame? I never understood the moon goddess for choosing you as my mate and Luna! You’re not worthy to become my Luna, Cassandra. You’re so low!”

My heart sank in betrayal and pain, causing me to gasp for air as my world spun around. The other line went silent, indicating that Rouge has already ended our call.

His words were like deadly daggers continuously stabbing me in my heart, killing me second by second.

Clutching my chest for support, I wiped my tears off my face and hid the pregnancy test.

I want to visit Rachel and my husband in the hospital. I need to know why Rouge is blaming me for what happened to Rachel.

I caressed my belly as I smiled sadly to my baby.

‘Don’t worry, my love. I’ll take care of you always.’

With my eyes looking for a bit of hope, I went to the hospital.

“””””

“Rouge, don’t leave me, please. I’m afraid Cassandra will go at it here to threaten me again. I’m scared of her, Rouge. I’m afraid of what she could do just to get rid of me.”

I heard Rachel’s shaky voice inside the room. The door was slightly open, so I could hear their conversation inside.

“Don’t worry, Rachel. I’m always here for you. Cassandra can’t hurt you again, hmm? I’ll make sure of that.”

I gulped, my forehead creased, totally confused about it.

“Rouge, why can’t you just divorce her and make me your luna? She is totally not Luna material! She can’t give you a child! And the worst is, she will be your biggest downfall in the pack.”

“I’ll probably divorce her before this year ends. I’m just waiting for my dad’s approval before I make a move.”

I stayed outside the door as I listened to their conversation full of betrayal. The room turns into silence for a moment until I heard a sound of two lips kissing. Holding onto my sling bag for support, I bowed down a little and sneaked on the slightly opened door. My eyes widened in horror when I saw Rouge and Rachel kissing.

My throat ran dry and my knees wobbled. If not only for the wall beside me, I probably would have fallen on the floor already.

How could my loving husband do this to me? I have always been a good wife to him and a luna for the pack! I have never made a move that would embarrass him!

How could he cheat on me with his friend?

The sweet smile their lips formed after their kiss has buried my heart in pain. They looked so happy with each other, as if they did not care if there was someone who they were betraying with.

Rachel’s eyes turned to look in the door, right in my position. I saw her smirk for a second until she turned her face in horror and screamed.

“Rouge! Cassandra’s in the door! Rouge, she’s here to kill me!”

Rouge’s eyes looked in me quickly. I was shocked when our eyes met, making me stand instantly and walk away. But before I could take a step, Rouge was already holding my hand, and then he pushed me on the wall, cornering me side by side.

“What the fuck are you doing here?! I already told you to just stay inside our home! Look what you have done to her! You scared her! Damn you!” Rouge’s eyes are burning as he yelled at me.

I groaned in pain, trying to resist his hold. “Rouge, you’re hurting me! ”

“Stop with your damn fake cries, Cassandra! You make me feel so sick!” he then brutally let go of me.

I watched my five-year husband run quickly to Rachel. He caresses her cheeks as he tells her to calm down, showering her forehead with small kisses. I watched my husband take care of Rachel softly and do things he has never done to me, his wife.
