Chapter Four - Infertility

Daisy's POV

Just like that, a small marriage happens between me and Dickson. We move in together. Tonight is our wedding night, I look forward to sharing a memorable night with Dickson.

As I step into the room after a quick shower, I stagger backward in shock as my eyes settle on Rosa and Dickson, they are fully engrossed in a serious make out between the both of them that they do not notice my presence.

Without wasting anymore time, I rush to fetch Luna, she is in the chamber room having a zerious conversation with some pack advisors. "Luna! Please come, hurry." I cry out.

Luna hastily scurries towards me and questions "What is it? What has gone wrong? You are supoosed to be in the room with your husband while enjoying your wedding night." Luna says.

"Rosa, sh-e..." I stutter but I think Luna gets the hint, she tells me to lead her to the room which I hastily do. Luna catches Rosa and Dickson kissing passionately. She slams the door loudly, startling the both of them and gaining their attention.

"How dare you Rosa?" I yell at her, even before Luna can do so. Rosa does not look remorseful. She adjusts the hems of her dress and speaks nonchalantly. "She stole my husband first!" Rosa points at me and yells in a defensive tone.

"Stole? If there is one person who stole Dickson from me, it is you! You are the one who ruined our four year relationship!" I snap back at her. How dare she throw blame at me?

"Shut up! Dickson chose me! He chose me over you. You are just a selfish and salty bitch who can not come to terms with that." Rosa spits at me bitterly. I attempt to reply to her but Luna yells "Silence!" The both of us go quiet, although Rosa cusses under her breath at me.

"You." Luna points at Dickson. "I told you to pick a side! You can not keep playing both sisters around just because you are the alpha of the pack. Focus on your marriage and move on!" Luna orders. Dickson nods his head at her, a sad expression flashes over his face as he stares at me.

Why does Dickson keep hurting me? No matter how much I think we are beginning to grow close with each other again, he does something to hurt me.

"As for you Rosa, you leave me no choice but to disown you! I let you hang around the pack house because I felt pity for you but that does not mean you should ruin a marriage that has already been registered and approved by the elders of the pack. That is disrespect and disregard for me, your sister, the elders of the pack and even the moon goddess!" Luna yells.

Rosa looks taken aback, she clenches her fist tight and throws a tantrum. "Mother! How could you do this to me? I am still the victim here. My husband got snatched and that is all thanks to a certain someone!" Rosa points at me with tears rushing down her cheeks. I know this is just one of her pretences so I am not moved by it at all, not even in the slightest way.

"Rosa! Leave this moment!" Luna pulls her by the wrist and drags her out of the room, leaving me with Dickson.

An awkward silence falls between us and the atmosphere suddenly becomes tense. I run a hand through my hair and bite my lower lip to hold back the tears as I stare at Dickson. I feel this sudden sadness, just by staring at him.

Throughout these years, Dickson has done nothing but cause me distress and sorrow.

"Daisy, I owe you an apology. I am sorry for playing both you and Rosa. You must hate me so much." Dickson mumbles to himself. I sigh heavily and settle down on the bed beside him. I turn to face him with a serious look plastered on my face.

"Please Dickson, for the sake of our marriage." I say. Dickson nods his head.

"I am too tired to talk, goodnight Daisy." Dickson says to me. He lays on the bed with his back turned against me.

Two years pass by and Even after Luna's warning, Rosa does not stop visiting the house, she continues to cause trouble and does her best to ruin my marriage. Although I am no longer bothered by that but by a bigger issue.

Even after two years of marriage, I am unable to bear a child for Dickson. The whole pressure from Luna and the pack elders make things a lot worse for me.

Dickson is impatient too, he keeps fixing the blame on me and as much as I try to explain to him that nothing is wrong with him, he pushes further that I am the cause of our misfortunate.

Each day and night, I cry my eyes out to the Moon Goddess for a child but it seems like she has turned a deaf ear to me. Maybe I am paying my punishment for snatching Dickson from Rosa. Who knows? Maybe Rosa and Dickson were actually meant to be but because of the horrible mistake I made that night by having sex with Dickson, I have ruined everything and now I am paying for my sins.

Sooner or later, I know that the elders of the pack are going to hold a meeting on my behalf. What if they eventually push me to leave the pack house because of my infertility? Where will I go? What will I do?

I sluggishly drag my feet towards the room, with so much on my mind. I halt in my steps and attempt to push the room door open when I suddenly hear shuffling noises. I lean close to the door to eavesdrop.

"You should divorce her, Dickson. You have to do it for your own good. I do not know if Daisy has told you but she has reached early menopause. She can not bear you a child."

Menopause? Why would Rosa go as far as fabricating such to Dickson?
