Chapter 1

Elena

I stepped into the pack’s mansion with a freshly baked cake in my hands which I'd just bought at the mall in order to celebrate the birthday of my husband, Alpha Henry. He's been away for about a month on a business trip and would arrive today being his birthday.

I already organized a dinner surprise in order to celebrate him , we just needed him to be present here. As I stepped into the mansion, my handmaiden appeared beside me offering to take the cake and put it in place. “Is everything ready?” I asked her, knowing fully well what the answer was. And as usual, she responded. “Yes, Luna”

I was excited and overwhelmed, I wasn't only planning to surprise him with the birthday party, I also wanted to spend time with him. It's been months since we last touched each other, I know it must be hard for him. I missed him so much.

As I headed back to my bedroom, the first thing I did was to change my outfit into the one I had brought specifically for the occasion. I put on light makeup. Henry has never liked me putting on make-up since we married, he'd always compliment how beautiful I looked naturally.

I stepped out looking elegant and ready to receive him, and as soon as I arrived at the dining room, I realized that it was empty. Earlier, I'd heard noises and I thought that he was back. Only to find out that it wasn't him but the people I'd invited to celebrate with us.

I looked around, searching for my handmaiden who in no time got to meet me. “Isn't he back yet?” I questioned her, she shook her head immediately. “Luna, I do not think that the alpha might come tonight” she whispered to my ears, I turned to gaze at her. “Why do you say that?” I asked her,

“I heard the guards saying it earlier,” she explained to me.

“Where?’

“Over there” she pointed, and I stormed off to meet and interrogate them. As soon as I stepped right there. The two guards were Busy sipping the wines I'd bought with my own money in order to plan the surprise. They didn't even wait for the celebration to start before entertaining themselves.

I was angry, but I held it back in so I could deal with them. “L.. Luna” they quickly stopped their actions and bowed as soon as they saw me. I stared at them in disdain. “Where is the alpha?” I immediately questioned them, they didn't want to respond as they quivered fearfully.

“I will not repeat myself” i said

“A… at the hotel, ma'am” they responded, I turned away immediately heading out of the hall, I reached outside for my car and I drove straight to the city hotel. I knew he was there, that was his most favorite hotel in the city. Whenever we had dates, celebrated our anniversary, he'd always take me there to spend time.

I couldn't understand why he'd prefer to be at the hotel today of all days. Today when I was planning to confess my undying love for him. I drove speedily on the highway, disregarding the red lights coming from my car indicating my speed

I was so enraged and all I wanted was to see my husband and question his actions. I really hope that it isn't what I'm thinking.

As I arrived at the hotel, I approached the receptionist who already knew my identity. I told her that Henry was here and he's booked a room for us to celebrate his birthday as usual. She gave me the keys to his suite in no time and I left to find out why he was here.

The elevator was slow today, or I guess I was the impatient one. I couldn't wait for it to release me so I could see Henry.

As soon as I got out, I took the hallway to his suit. The place wasn't as quiet as I'd expected it to be, it was noisy and filled with a woman's giggles and moans.

She moaned so loudly, as if she'd noticed my presence and wanted me to feel inferior. My chest aches and my heart sank immediately. I took a step and I paused, they seemed to be done as the noise reduced. “I love you so much Brianna, you're my best ever choice” Henry professed his love for his mistress.

I clenched my chest tightly trying to get a hold of the pain I felt. It's been three good years of bliss, how could Henry cheat on me?

As I moved closer to the door, their conversations became clearer to me.

“It's been six months, Henry. And I'm two months pregnant for you, isn't it time to introduce me to your pack yet and take me as your Luna? Don't I deserve it?” Brianna asked in a meek tone, sounding pitiful.

“Of course you do my love, I promise you, very soon, I will divorce that barren woman and make you the Luna of my pack. And also, rank you high as the mother of my hair. Please give me time” Henry responded to her, he leaned and gave her a kiss, I could hear it clearly.

I couldn't control my rage at this point, I used the keys to open the door and I went inside. “You lying cheating bastards!” I yelled out loudly, Henry flinched, he obviously wasn't expecting me.

I moved towards the woman at once, wanting to fight her. To my greatest surprise, she was the complete opposite of Henry's kind of woman. Her hair was dark, her lips were red , she even had makeup on. Henry lied to me, he told me he didn't like these kinds of women and that I was perfect for him.

His grip tightened around my waist and I pushed him off immediately. “Let go of me you bastard!”

“What the hell are you doing here, Lena?”
