I was a people pleaser. I love to make people happy and most times it happens at my own detriment. But then, the smile on their faces after sacrificing for them makes it more worthwhile.Perhaps, that was why I mated Tyler. Tyler was the alpha of Moriarty pack, I became his Luna to help him handle his pack better. Even though we met on a business basis, I eventually cared about him too with time and I tried to be a good wife as well. That's why I was in my room trying to find something sexy to wear for tonight when he comes back home. Maybe tonight he will finally see me as his mate and finally consummate our bond after 3 years of being together. I checked the time and it read 9:58pm. Tyler will be home soon. I was sure he would come home tonight because the Annual Gala was tomorrow. We were supposed to leave together at the venue to show we were happily married even though we weren't, to some extent. I adjusted the lingerie I had on as I faced the mirror. It was a black lacy bikini
I groaned as light from the window pierced through my eyes, I knew it was morning but I felt no motivation to stand up. Yesterday's discovery at the study still tormented me and deprived me of sleep throughout the night. I unconsciously pricked my ears to hear them even after I laid down on the bed, I heard them leave the study, shower in Tyler's room and Nabita leaving. It was painful to listen to but I didn't stop, maybe it would hurt me enough to make me fall into a very deep sleep that I would not wake up from. But it did the exact opposite, now I was awake with bloodshot eyes, an aching heart and no motivation to get up.Heavy knocking from the door jolted me from my thoughts, before I could ask who was that, the door swung open with aggression and Tyler entered fuming.“Why are you not dressed, Uriah? The annual gala is starting in a few minutes, how would it look if the host comes late? What is wrong with you?” he asked angrily.I stood up slowly with a blank face and faced Tyl
His eyes had a coldness to it that somehow pulled me in as I stared at it. He had sharp jawlines complimented by a pointed nose and thin lips. His black hair was gelled back and it was clear that he never skipped a workout because of the bulging muscles contained in a blue tuxedo.I finally realized my situation and hurriedly stood up. “Thank you” I said as I tried to regain my composure. He didn't say a word and only nodded, his face was still expressionless as he turned to Tyler and asked, “Are you going to start the party or do you want to settle your family issues first?”Tyler cleared his throat and replied, “Yeah sure, I'll start now” he then turned to Nabita and whispered in her ear, “Don't worry Love, I will help you vent your anger out later. I promise” She nodded and walked away while Tyler turned to me and said irritatedly, “Let's go”I nodded and walked behind him to the raised platform in the hall. As I walked I heard some conversations from people about Xavier and prick
I moved away from the lycan king immediately when Tyler's voice thundered behind us. I pricked on my clothes nervously not that I've done anything wrong but the thought of the lycan king been around me still lingered in my mind.I postured myself quickly as I came face to face with a bloodshot eyes of Tyler, if only looks could kill I should be six feet under by now cause his gaze is killing."What the hell is going on here?" He asked fuming out aggressively. Judging by his composure and attitude one could say he actually still had an iota of likeness towards me if not love.The thought alone gladdens my heart. I chuckled lightly seeing his reaction."So the mighty alpha who always acted cold towards can act jealous or is he putting up an act here?" I thought inwardly still confused on his sudden behaviour."I think am talking to people over here right?" He thundered again jolting me out of my thought."Uhm… you see there's really nothing you know…." I was cut short by Nabita who bur
"Don't tell me you're deaf now?" He smirked at me.All my life, I have lived it to serve him to my fullest. Yeah! I know I'm a people pleaser but at least I also deserve to be happy in life.My dreaded nightmare has finally come to pass…. Me becoming a rogue is far more better than the life I'm living now."Is it a crime of me not knowing who birthed me?" I asked myself while tears flowed like a river.By now my face is a mess but I cared less….. the pain in my chest is like a pang being struck deeply in my heart.I crutched down slowly holding my knees tightly to my chest while choking on my tears.I've never been humiliated like this in life. It feels as if the ground should open and swallow me up."Well its a crime darling and moreover you actually tricked me in marking you but now I'm going to the one my heart choose" he lashed out at me before storming out with Nabita strolling behind him.People started trooping out of the hall in three and two while whispering to each other, s
"But that's not a proper rejection," she said with eyes wide open while trying her best not to raise her voice."I know it's not but what can I do….. I can't possibly stop him which you know" I said trying so hard to act strong in her presence. One thing I hate to show to people is my weakness…. I was trained to be a man of myself though sometimes a little care and love isn't too much to ask for."Are you really sure you can handle this?" She asked me with eyes full of pity and care."At least it is far better than the insult I get every day from him"."Okay fine but you know if you need a shoulder to cry mine is always padded to absorb your tears" she added while we hugged each other.I waved her bye while shutting the door behind me. Yes I know I might have acted nonchalantly about the issue of him rejecting me publicly but can I really cope?....... I'm used to his insult already and I believe one day he will grow to love me for who I am."Well that day isn't coming" my wolf chipped
"Okay milady" she responded with a bow.I chuckled lightly at her gesture….. Well Tyler might not feel a thing for me but he trusted me with his meal which is more of an honor to me.I smiled gently at the thought, it seems I still have an upper hand than Nabita though I know I've lost my position already but am not ready to let go.I walked over to the hall where the banquet is to be held….. after each gala night celebration, the host alpha and Luna will hold a meal banquet in appreciation to the alphas and luna's that attended.Though ours was a mess and all thanks Tyler and his side chick who messed things up for him.Speaking of Tyler I haven't set my eyes on him since he left the gala night….. I guess that should be the least of my worries.I opened the door leading to the hall to see the worst scene of my life.I tried picturing it together but it did not work out, I had to hold on to the steel door for support so as not to fall flat on my face."Am I dreaming or I entered the wr
I sighed tiredly while I grabbed a seat to lay my lazy ass on…. This looks so beautiful."Have you set up the projector?" I asked the guy who was called to set up the electronic gadgets."Yes Luna, I'm done with everything" he said with a smile."I'll drop the system on my way out, to give you access to the projector," he quickly added.I wave him off…… I used my hand to help raise my chin as I am feeling somehow dizzy."Maybe I should go rest in my room, I still have three more hours left for the dinner to start" I mutter to myself.I tried standing straight but my legs felt too weak to stand on their own…. I had to hold the table so as not to fall."What's happening to me?" I asked myself slowly while holding on to the table for support."Or am I pregnant?" I chuckled at the thought.If I was I would have been the happiest wolf on earth but it's just a thought that can't come true while I'm still with Tyler or maybe it can in the future which I really doubt.After some minutes of try
