Chapter 4
Lia's POV It's been three days since I was discharged from the hospital. The man who helped me three days ago brought me to his mansion after he learned I had nowhere to go. I found out his name was Johnny. I was hesitant about coming here at first but slowly caved in when he offered because I didn't know where to go. I couldn't go back to Levi's pack. It was obvious that I wasn't welcomed there. But also, I didn't know Johnny well. I made up my mind to only stay here for a few days until I figure things out. I hadn't seen Johnny since he brought me here and asked his workers to help me settle in. The maids told me he was on a business trip. I decided to wait patiently till he was back before I left. But aside from his absence, everything else was nice. The food was nice, the people were very welcoming, and I was treated very well. A bit more than when I was a Luna. Despite all these, I couldn't stop wondering about the last words Johnny said to me at the hospital. I had asked him what he meant by that during our ride here, but he simply dodged the question. I made sure to be persistent in getting the answer, but he simply told me the time wasn't right. I dragged my gaze across the room. Everything in here screamed luxury. I wasn't exactly moved by it. It was almost like Levi's manor except this one is full of solid colors. It was the same as Levi's manor before we got married. I had improvised and moved some things around after we got married. I even added some flowers. Levi didn't like it but he never complained. It was one of the reasons I fell for him. I shut my eyes tight. I wasn't going to think about that cheating, lying bastard. I made up my mind to forget about him and move on with my life. He had done the same. I wouldn't hold myself down still wallowing in the past. I wanted to distract myself from any thought of Levi. I strolled to the window and stared outside. I was mesmerized by the beautiful garden scenery so I decided to go downstairs and see the flowers up close. I stepped out of my room and descended the stairs. The maids would stop once I came across them and give me a slight bow. I didn't complain but it was slightly uncomfortable. Back when I was the Luna, I made sure no maids ever bowed for me. But here, I was just a guest so there is not much I can do about it. I finally got to the garden and it was more beautiful than when I was staring at it from the window. I relished the soft breeze that blew on my face and the strong smell of flowers. I strolled further into the garden, admiring the flowers with a big smile on my face. “You love flowers?” A deep voice said behind me. I turned to see Johnny strolling towards me with both his hands behind his back. “I'm a big lover of nature.” I smiled. “I was just coming in and I saw you heading to the garden. Hi.” He stretched his hand out for a handshake. He was holding a file in the other hand. “Hey!” I accepted his outstretched hand and I withdrew it after a few seconds. “I'm sorry I couldn't see you since you got here. I've just been so busy with work. I'm the worst host.” He said and chuckled. “It's okay. You've been a wonderful host. I had a great time.” “I'm glad.” He smiled. “Do you want to sit?” he gestured to a bench a few meters away from us. “Sure, let's sit.” We strolled to the bench together. We sat in silence for a few minutes, neither of us wanting to break the silence first. It was quite obvious that he wanted to say something. I also wanted to talk to him. I wanted to tell him I would be leaving soon. “I…” we both said in unison. I chuckled. “You first,” I said. “Lia, if you want, you can continue to stay here even after you give birth to your child. I would make sure to protect you and your child and provide everything you need.” I cocked an eyebrow. Hold up a second! It sounded too good to be true. “Why will you do that? You don't even know me. I could be a serial killer!” he let out a slight chuckle at my last words. I studied his expression and he seems genuine with his words. But I still couldn't trust him. He sighed, “You are right, I do need something from you.” “What do you want?” I swallowed past the lump in my throat as I anticipated his reply. I felt like I wasn't going to like his condition. “I want you to be my Luna for a year.” He said. "Your Luna?" My voice was barely audible. My heart was beating so fast in my chest. I couldn't bring myself to enter that commitment again after I just got out of one. I wasn't ready for another. And I don't even think I ever will be. "Yes, for just a year." He knelt down on one knee before me and dropped the file he was holding beside me on the bench. “I'm going to do everything I said and more. I'm going to be the father of your child. I will make sure he doesn't lack anything and I will always keep you safe. You don't have to be with me physically. We can stay in separate rooms. I just want you to be my Luna for a year. Once you sign these papers, we're good.” He said, his eyes pleading with me as he spoke.Chapter fiveLevi's POVA smile tilted at the corner of my lips as I admired my reflection in the mirror. I ran my fingers through my hair. I felt different now that Lia and I were no longer together. I was happier with Kira. I grabbed my phone from the nightstand and stepped out of my room. Everything was going well for me at the moment, except for the fact that the pack didn't have a Luna. I knew it was only a matter of time before the news of my divorce with Lia spread through the pack. I needed to act fast and make Kira my new Luna. But first, I needed to get her in with the pack elders. “Hey, handsome.” Kira walked up to me in the hallway. I flashed her a smile. My gaze swept through her body as I took in her appearance. She wore the dress I got for her. It was a red dress with a thigh-high slit. She looked stunning in it. “You look so beautiful,” I whispered into her ears. Her cheeks turned red as she blushed hard. She linked her arm with mine and we descended the stairs to
Chapter oneLia's POV I rub my hands together as I wait impatiently for the pack doctor. I stomped my feet to the ground while staring at the door. It's been fifty minutes since I have been waiting for my faith. I have been sick for a while now. At first, I thought it was just a fever, but it struck me that my period was three weeks late. I can't get pregnant. Levi would never accept it. He may be my husband but I know better than to expect anything good from him. "Luna," The pack doctor called and I jerked up."Yes," I answer, taking a deep breath. I clasped my hands together to calm my nerves."Congratulations, Luna, you are two weeks pregnant. I'm so happy__I tuned him out, not hearing a single word he was saying. The words he just said rang in my ears. I'm two weeks pregnant with Levi's baby. I staggered a bit and fell back on the chair. "Luna," The pack doctor rushed to my side. "Are you okay?" He asked, his voice laced with concern. "I'm fine, I was just a bit start
Chapter 2 Lia's POV"You want a divorce?" My brows knitted in confusion. “Why do you want to divorce me, Levi? I haven't done anything wrong." voice quivering as I spoke. "How many times do I have to repeat to you that I want a divorce, is that how dumb you are?" He shouted in my face.I gasped, his words hit me like a bullet. I knew our marriage was doomed to end one day but I didn't expect it to be this soon. Not now. That I had a baby on the way. I must reconcile with him for my baby. Tightening my fists, I fell to my knees without thinking much of It. Tears stung at the corner of my eyes but I blinked them away. I grabbed a hold of his leg. "What the hell are you doing?" He screams in my face as he tries to yank his leg from me, but I hold on tight. "Lia." He groans.Tears fell from my face as I lifted my head."Levi, please don't do this. Please. I'll stop bothering you, I promise. I'll do whatever you want me to do. Just please don't leave me. I can't live without you
Chapter 3 Lia's POVI broke into a run as I stepped out of the pack house. I ran deep into the woods, my vision blurry with tears. My whole life had turned upside down in just a few minutes. I got divorced and betrayed by someone I loved so much. Now, I was going to be a single mother with no one to care for me and my child. Kira's words stung each time I remembered it. I wanted to scream to her at the moment that I wasn't barren. I wanted to tell her that I was carrying Levi's heir at the moment and watch the colors drain from her eyes. But I couldn't. I couldn't even bring myself to talk. No one would believe me anyway. I couldn't get pregnant earlier in my marriage because of the accident I had. The entire pack expected an heir and were slowly losing faith in me. I had prayed to the moon goddess for a child. I finally got pregnant, only for my husband to divorce me and shove his mistress in my face.Levi and Kira's make-out scene flashed across my mind, and I almost threw
