OCTAVIA POV The next morning, I wake up early, feeling anxious and hopeful. The doctor arrives soon after, and I accompany him to Eren's room.I watch him as the doctor examines Eren.Checking each vital with great precision.After a few minutes, he turns to me with a rather unreadable expression."What's his condition?" I ask, my voice barely above a whisper "Do you think he is getting better with his temporal recovery last night" The look he is giving me scares me silly.I had called him last night, informing him about Eren's current predicament, so I am really looking forward to hearing what he has to say.The doctor's expression turns somber. " The alpha simply had an episode last night. It's not uncommon for people with his condition to experience these episodes."He rules.His words though few, manages to snatch my smile away For a moment I feel a glimmer of disappointment.My heart feels heavy and an unsettling frown creeps out ward."Does this mean he's getting better?" I
OCTAVIA POV With Nick out of the way it was finally time to put this in order and get Eren's employees back in shape.Two hours down the line and I feel a sense of excitement and accomplishment. I've taken the first step in taking back control of Eren's company, and I'm eager to dive in and make more changes.I make my way home, my mind racing with ideas and plans. I'm so caught up in my thoughts that I don't even notice the front door is open until I'm already inside.Upon entering the living room, I'm surprised to see Eren standing in front of the TV, covered in a thick layer of flour.He looks like a ghost, and for a moment, I'm taken aback.I am stunned wordless."Eren, what...?" I start asking, but he just looks at me with a sheepish expression.Just then the two middle aged women I ordered to watch over my darling husband run in, panic etched on their faces." Eren what have you done?" One of the two incompetent women ask with wide eyes.Her question alone sends an angry chill
OCTAVIA POV " Get out of my sight, slut" Nick thunders at me, as he pulls me out of the ALPHA'S mansion in nothing but a blood stained bedsheet, the only sign that is left of my pride as a woman." Don't ever come back here. You are now free to continue with your prostitution" He yells as he throws me out of his mansion, causing me to fall to roughly on the rocky ground infront of all the servants." Nick you have to listen to me. I assure you I didn't willingly sleep with your brother, I was raped" I beseech him on my knees in tears. " Oh please Octavia. Enough with your lies. You were in his room, I heard your moans. You weren't forced, you were enjoying it" He says with a voice that accentuates his disappointment, and hate for me." I assure you babe. I wasn't enjoying itHe forced himself on me. Think about it, I have kept myself for you for all this years, why would I hand my pride over to your brother just like that...." I explain sincerely but he cuts me off" Because he is y
OCTAVIA POV " What are you suggesting. I can't marry my fiancee's brother" I thunder acrimoniously at her" Think about it Octavia. You need to pay your mother's medical bills. Nick wouldn't help you and Eren doesn't mind marrying you" Mom Lora explains " Could you hear yourself speak mother. Eren wants to marry me. How can you suggest that. Have you forgotten that I am engaged to be married to you second, and together is supposed to be our wedding date" I remind bitterly " And have you forgotten that he caught you with his brother in bed, and he has rejected you?" She questions " Listen Octavia. I see you like my own child. Believe it or not your mother and I were good friends growing up. The Last thing I want for you is to be humiliated and ridiculed. Marrying Eren would be good for you, he would take care of you. Provide for you, you will never lack anything" She tries to convince me." But I can't. I don't love him" I confess in tears " Love is just a word. You don't need is
OCTAVIA POV As the church doors open up, I take in a deep breath, preparing myself for the task ahead as mom leads me down the isle.I have longed dreamt of this day, walking down the isle in a fabulous dress, being lead by my mom to my prince charming, but this wasn't what I had envisioned. I was getting married to the most beautiful man ever but deep down I knew I was offering myself to the beast.I look to my left and there Nick is seated with a hideous frown on his face. Why he bothered coming is still a mystery to me.I walk down to the altar and mom hands me over to him with the words " Protect her" before returning to her seat. Eren takes my hands in his and with a contempted smile he whispers the words "You make the most beautiful bride muse" ' Muse'I have heard him time without number refer to a woman as muse but I had assumed she was his girlfriend, but now I am having my doubts. Could this marriage thing have been a long time cour to get me entangled in this sharade.
OCTAVIA POV The darkness is cool, calm, sovering, and for a moment it feels like all my problems has disappeared, then all of a sudden there is a loud bang on my door and I open my eyes to my white ceiling. Last night was a disaster, Eren went full ballistic on me. The bruises he left on my neck are still pretty fresh. My body hurts and my head aches with unimaginable pain. Everything still seems fresh in my mind. I remember as my life flashed through my eyes, while I was being suffocated.The way he dug his nails into my tender fresh with reckless abandon, unbothered by my feelings. I begged him, crying my eyes out but he wouldn't release his strangle hold on me,I thought I was going to die but then at the last second he let go of me and ran out in horror.I remember being frozen in fear through out the night and I ended on sleeping on the floor.Eren really is a devil, and I don't think I can continue this marriage, he might just kill me one of these days. " Octavia open the
EREN POVOctavia, why?That's the question I keep asking myself.I do everything for her, give her everything she needs and what does she do. She runs off into my brother's arms with every slightest opportunity she gets.I have done everything to show her that I love her but she doesn't see me. Is it because I am not sane, she must be reposed by me. That must be it. But it's not supposed to be like this. Mom assured me that if I had sex with her, she would love me.She promised that if I took her, and wifed her. She would love me. Mom said she wanted me to make her feel like a woman, that's why I took her.Mom said, woman love it when they are being forced. That's what I did twice but why doesn't she still love me. ' Did mom lie to me?'- I wonder as I wait patiently in the living room for my beautiful wife. Tonight happens to be the annual alpha gathering and I have been invited as the guest of honor.At first, I thought of boycotting the event and just staying in my cage but a
OCTAVIA POV I flutter my eyes open to an annoying knock at my door." Come in" I say as I try to sit upright but am quickly confronted by a spitting headache. My shoulder, neck and back hurts terribly. ' What happened?'- I wonder as I support my exploding head with my hands.That's when my duvet falls off my chest exposing my naked breast.' Why am I naked?'- I wonder in a panic as I look underneath the duvet 'Who brought me here?'The deeds of last night are still a mystery to me. The Last thing I recall is having a fight with Eren in a garden.' I must have passed out afterward from excessive alcohol consumption'- I conclude before realizing that there's something in between my legs, a viscous liquid.' God please let it not be sperm'- I pray as I run my hand in between my thighs to take a closer look and it's exactly what I think it is, sperm. ' How?. Did I have sex with Eren again?'- I ask myself confusing " Luna, Luna" I hear Nadia call, pulling me out of my thoughts " Yes,

OCTAVIA POV I freeze, my eyes fixed on the horrific scene unfolding before me. Eren, my loving husband, on his knees, tears streaming down his face as the caregiver, I hired to take care of him raises a cane to strike him again.My heart shatters into a million pieces. How could I have trusted this monster to care for my vulnerable husband?Without thinking, I rush towards them, my voice screaming in rage. "STOP! GET AWAY FROM HIM!"The caregiver spins around, his eyes widening in shock as I charge towards him. I can see the fear in his eyes, as his limbs terrible uncontrollably but it only fuels my anger.I grab the cane from his hand, flinging it across the room .My hands shaking with fury. " Luna it's not what it looks like......" The traitor begins to spur out his vile lies but I cut in furious, unable to put up with his stupid camouflage."How dare you!" I spit, my voice venomous.

OCTAVIA POV I stand frozen, my heart shattering into a million pieces as my mother's words hang in the air like a death sentence. "You're no longer my daughter."I feel like I've been punched in the gut, unable to breathe. How can she say that? How can she just disown me?Tears stream down my face, my heart feels scattered.My tommy hurts horribly but more than that I am disappointed, that my own mom would turn her back on me for a woman she knows nothing about." Are you ok Luna?" I hear a masculine voice behind me, followed a hand on my shoulder. I know it's Martin trying to comfort me, but even his touch can't ease the agony ripping through me." I am fine. Go attend to the alpha" I lie, wiping my tears in a bit to suppress my feelings.Looking vulnerable is not a good look on a Luna, plus I am worried about Eren.The way he cried earlier still bothers me." I can't Luna" He objects taking his hand off me." What do you mean Martin, are you disobeying your Luna?" I ask in anger,
OCTAVIA POV My cheek is burning. Mom's slap still resounding in my ear. The feeling of pain in my chest is so overwhelming. Mom has never slapped me before, for her to do that right now, it could only mean one thing......She's furious. I look up at her remorseless face. Her eyes speak voices.It's like they're saying they expected more from me, or I might I failed her.I look at Luna Lora and she has this rediculious smile on her face.Anger brews within me. My blood is boiling I want to hurt her but I refuse to do that I clench my jaw a failed attempt of preventing myself from spur out my venom. " You slapped me because of that woman. That selfish woman who only thinks about herself? " I question bitter. Tears escaping my eyes as my heart aches with anger. I honestly don't know if I should feel sorry for her, or be mad about the slap.If only she knew the type of monster that Lora truly is." You deserve it, Octavia," she retorts, her eyes blazing with anger. "You're be
OCTAVIA POV" What are you talking about mom. I assure you my husband isn't hurting me in anyway" I assure her in a bit to calm the foreseen storm." Don't patronize me with your lies Octavia. I know everything, I have been rightly informed by your mother in law" She says with a displeasing frown.Of course it had to be Lora, that witch wouldn't let me be happy with my husband. To think I ones considered her as my actual mom.My blood boils up.I cling my jaw bone in a bit to suppress my anger." Mom calm down" I beseech her but ones more she pays my words no yield" Don't you dare try to calm me down. I am taking you back and that's final" She informs firmly with a serious expression.Her eyes turn red with rage as she clenches my fist.Her body is now all tensed up and I think she might erupt any moment now.I look at the servants and they seem to be giving us questioning looks as they shameless murmur about us.My face quickly turns red from embarrassment.Is it not enough that eve
OCTAVIA POVI was back into my husband's room, only to find him playing childish with Martin and once more the depression kicks in.I can't bare this anymore.My husband has been reduced to a child.The mare thought of that brings tears to my eyes.I try preventing the out pour but to no avail. They just escape uncontrollable.Why is life so unfair, I struggle endlessly but still nothing.At this point I just feel like giving up.I mean what is the point, my husband is not coming back anytime soon, I know the doctor just doesn't want to admit it.I am hurt, more than that I am scared.Scared that I might raise my children as a single mother just like my mom did.'Why am I so unlucky?'_ I ask myself as I duck my head crying silently in pain, questioning God about my existence. " Octavia why are you crying?" I hear Eren ask in a rather soft tone.I look up and there he is standing just a few centimeters in front of me with a pitiful, tear like expression on his face." Are you crying b
OCTAVIA POVA hellacious laugh escape my lips as I happily sail into my bed room. " And what is making my Luna this happen?" Martin ask with a confused smile as he walks into my room" Nothing really, just the fact that I gave that witch and those miserable betas a run for their money " I say feeling proud. This is the best I have felt in years. " That's great Luna. I just wish I was there to support you " He says with a worisome frown on his face. " Don't say that. You have done enough for me. If you didn't convince me that night to come back to my husband, my marriage would have been ruined. You are the only reason why my kids still have a father, and for that I am sorry grateful" I gratify with genuine happiness, only him to burst into tears. " I am sorry mistress. I failed you " He says in tears" What do you mean?" I ask as my hair stands on straight ends. The look on his face is a worrisome one indeed. " It's about his highest, the alpha... " He starts but his voice gets d
LORA POV"I'm telling you, Nick, I've never been disrespected like this in my life," I say acrimoniously, pacing back and forth in my room. The disrespect I suffered at Octavia's hands still cuts deep. "You don't say," Nick responds simply, his uninterested frown infuriating me."Wait, why aren't you saying anything?" I ask, confused. Could he still have feelings for that woman?"What do you want me to say, Mom?" he asks nonchalantly."I don't know, maybe agree with me and propose a solution to this problem," I say bitterly."Unfortunately, Mom, I have nothing to say," he responds, still relaxed in his chair."Whatever, get out," I command, taking a seat in anger."Mom, don't be like that," he tries to pacify me, but I'm not having it."Just leave. I need to think," I say, bitter."Fine, Mom, if you say so," he says, walking out.I sit on my bed, meditating on what to do next, when the perfect idea strikes me. What if I put my former plan into action? I quickly dial Henry's number, my
