Luna: Betrayed But Second Chance With The Alpha

MICHELLE's  POV.

With trembling hands, I collect the paper from the doctor and continue to stare back at it. I was not expecting what he said a few minutes ago. How can I be pregnant? Was this some kind of joke? He said I couldn't get pregnant right? I have been trying for two years now and my efforts yielded superfluous dejections so this is why the result in my hand has me trembling.

Three years of being the Luna of my pack has got me trying to produce an heir to the legendary pack of the shadow warriors but I could not.

My husband, Alpha Nicholas would be so happy to hear this news. After all, we have been trying together.

When I was just sixteen years old; my mate manifested himself.

I worked at the pack kitchen with my aunt after my father and my mother died from a pack war when trying to save Nicholas and since then, aunt decided to just make meals for the pack house.

On that fateful day, I found out that Nicholas was my mate and I was damn too excited, he was the talk of many. What made me more excited was the fact that he also showed interest in me and during my eighteen years birthday, we had our mark and mate ceremony. For three years, Nicholas has made me feel like the best woman on earth, he was the most loving husband and I can not wait to share this good news with him.

"Are you sure of what you are saying, doctor?" I want to be sure I heard him correctly even with the papers in my hands.

"Of course Luna" he answers, "you are three weeks pregnant, congratulations"

My lips curl into a bright smile, of course I am pregnant. Finally, I can see a much bigger smile on Nicholas's face.

"Thank you so much, doctor Mandy" I say after a while, "I will take my leave now"

"I will send you a diet so you can focus on that, it will be good for the development of the baby"

"Thank you so much"

As I walk out of the office, the smile on my face grew wider, I am of course the happiest Luna on earth now. The moon goddess has finally decided to smile on me, I can not contain my excitement.

I take out my phone to call him but decide against it, he could be in a meeting or he could be busy. Maybe it is best I tell him this myself. I can already feel the jitters, this is definitely the best day of my life.

As I get to the car, my driver opens the door gently and bows while I enter the car and in no time, he zooms off.

"Are we on our way home, Luna?" He asks from the driver's seat.

"Let us go grocery shopping" I tell him, "I want to make all of Nick's favorite meals today"

His forehead creases into a slight frown, "but the master has said not to enter the kitchen Luna"

"Don't worry, Ben" I let out a light chuckle, "it is for a good cause"

With this, I close my eyes and place my head on the headrest. I can not wait to share this news with Nicholas, he will definitely be the happiest man alive. My heart is pounding fast, I am way too excited to even hide it.

The moment we get home, I have a quick shower and make my way to the kitchen. It is a few minutes past four and I know Nicholas will be back soon, he might stop by the pack house to check out a few things. The pack house was just a few blocks away from our mansion. One of the most exquisite buildings I have ever seen in my life, Nick put his whole life into designing it and it is simply the best. One could call this...heaven.

"Good evening Luna" the cooks greet me as I saunter  into the kitchen.

"I will make  Nicholas's dinner tonight" I tell them, "you can retire of the day"

"But the master has warned us not to let you touch anything Luna" one of them chips in, "remember what happened the last time? You cut your finger and he almost had our heads on a platter"

I chuckle at her statement, I know why she is so scared. Nicholas is the most ruthless and gruesome person on earth so I know why they are all scared of him. The only person who he smiles and laughs with is me, the others get his stoic personality.

"Not to worry, I will be careful this time around"

As soon as I send them out, I start  to make dinner with all excitement. I can not wait for Nick to finally come home, the news is too hard for me to keep now.

It is a few minutes past five when I hear the front door unlock and his scent whiff into my nose and my face breaks into a smile when I hear his heavy strides making towards the kitchen.

There he is, the man I married. Nicholas has a scowl on his face when he sees me covered in dough and he balls his hand into a fist while scrunching up his forehead.

"I told you not to cook right?" He asks me, his face is devoid of any kind of emotions, "why don't you ever listen?"

"Will you scold me?" A pout appears on my lips, "I was trying hard to make dinner for you"

"I told you to let the cooks do their work" he scolds and for a moment, I am taken aback. I finally noticed he didn't look like he is in a good mood.

"Are you okay?" I finally ask him, he looks a bit uneasy and upset, what could be the reason? Maybe a deal didn't work out?

"Let the cook do their work, Michelle" he retorts and I stop right in my tracks. This is the first time in three years that he is calling me by my name. What exactly is going on with him?

"What...." The words hang in my throat when I hear the clicking of heels on our marble floor and before I can say anything, she appears behind him. His fucking ex girlfriend is standing right behind him, it feels like my whole world had come to a standstill, how can he even bring her here now?

"What is going on here?" I can't help but ask him, "why is she here?"

"Hey, Mish" a coy smile is gracing her lips and how I want to smack it off, how dare she come into my home without my permission?

"Nicholas?" I ignore her and return my attention to my husband, "what is going on here?

"It has been a while, Mish" she continues to talk to me again but I also continue to ignore her with my attention on my husband.

"I asked a question, Nick"

"She will be staying here for a while" he answers and before I can even say anything again, he turns around and walks away leaving the two of us to stare back at each other.

"I can see you are making dinner"  Natalia says after a while and I roll my eyes at her before going after Nicholas. I am aware he is the leader of the pack and can do as he pleases but he can not bring a total stranger into our home without giving me a proper explanation for that.

The moment I enter the room, he was removing his shirt from his body and he did not even bother to spare me another glance. For the three years we have been together, Nicholas always made sure to give me a welcome kiss and allowed me to help me remove his clothes but today, he is acting very different from the man I know and it is kind of worrisome for me, he was never like this.

"Nick.." I call out to him from the door.

"I had a hectic day at the office, Mish" he retorts, "I am not in the mood to talk to anyone right now"

"I think I deserve an explanation for what is going on here, Nick" I walk up to him, now the news of my pregnancy was somewhere in my head. I want to share it with him but with the way he is behaving, I decide to hold myself for a while. I wanted to share it when the two of us were alone.

"What is wrong with you, Nicholas? What are you so upset about? I mean, I am your Luna, isn't it right that you discussed this matter with me before bringing your ex--girlfriend to the house? This isn't some charity organization and...

"Cut it out, Michelle" he cut me shot, his eyes staring back at me, "I am in no mood for this"

I open my mouth to talk again when my eyes travel to the paper peeking out of his suit pocket. My curiosity sky rocket, why is there a single piece of paper in his pocket? Nick was a thorough man.

"Nick, I still think you should...

"Michelle!!!!" He thunders and I flinch, holding onto my stomach in the process. Unknowingly, I am afraid of hurting the baby inside of me.

"Didn't he tell you?" Natalia's voice filter into my ear as she appears by the door, "we wanted to keep this a secret but you have become so inquisitive since the last time I saw you, Mish"

A scowl appears on my forehead as I purse my lips, what exactly is this mad girl talking about now?

"Natalia" Nicholas calls out to her, "I will talk to her myself"

"But it seems you can not do it, alpha" she replies and I get more confused the more. What exactly is going on between the two of them and what secret conversations are they holding?

"And i said I will talk to her myself" Nick retorts, "take some rest"

"Of course"

With one last glance, Natalia walks away while I return my focus to Nick who is now sitting on the bed.

"Here" he pulls out the paper from his suit.

I didn't hesitate to collect it and when I open it, my heart sink to my knees. It is boldly written, "divorce agreement" and Nick's signature is already stamped boldly on it.

"What is this?" I am too stunned to even complete my statement, "what....." my voice trails off as tears well up in my eyes, what rubbish is this?

"Let's get a divorce, Michelle" Nicholas drops the bombshell and i almost collapse to the ground but because of the little life growing inside of me, I hold myself. Wasn't I excited about telling him we had a baby coming on the way? How did the table turn so fast, why?....

"Nicholas, you"

He cut me short, "I have already signed and I have spoken to my lawyers. You will get as much alimony as you may possibly want, that is not an issue. Just sign the papers so we can proceed"

"Are you being serious right now?" I can't help but ask him, "we have been together for three years and now you just want to divorce me? I have been your Luna for three years Nick, we..."

"A Luna I never loved" he flares up as he shoots out of bed, "I have had my fair share of torture with you, Mish. I no longer want you in my life. This is the end for you now"

Despite the pain, I can't help but scoff. I am aware of how ruthless Nick was but I didn't know I would ever see that side of him. He treats me like I am the most fragile  human on earth and now..

"Nicholas" I walk up to him and gently grab his arm, "you know we can talk about this right? Whatever is going on in your mind, we can discuss it. Did I do something wrong?

Did I..."

"Just sign the papers, Mish" he growls, "I am not in the mood to exchange words with you"

After he is done, he walks out of the room again.

I follow him out of the bedroom and I come to a sudden halt when my eyes catch the lady standing in front of him just outside our door.

By now Natalia is clad in a pair of see through nightwear and I can see her underwear clearly. What exactly is she doing? How can she.. I rake my fingers through my hair, this sister of mine has always been shameless.

Yes, Natalia is my sister. Infact, my elder sister.  I can't deny the fact that she and Nicholas had a thing before I manifested as his mate but she was not the best person in the world. Even before I became acquainted with him, Natalia and I had never been in a good relationship. She hated the fact that I was born with the powers of my parents combined. Mother was a powerful priestess of her wolf clan while father was the strongest beta after the then alpha. I inherited my mother's powers, I could heal wounds, I could commune with the moon goddess, I could spot an enemy right on while I got the strength of my father. I didn't entirely rely on Nicholas to save me, I was capable of saving myself but this was only known to me, not even Nick knew.  Only Natalia knew and we both swore an oath never to tell anyone, whoever did will die.

This oath was as strong as a wolf bond and mother oversaw it herself and that made Natalia angry, the fact that she couldn't tell my husband. I was wise enough not to tell her the oath became invalid when mother died.

After I manifested myself as Nicholas's mate, I had a huge fight with Natalia and she left after the whole clan accepted me, even his immediate family. None of them liked her anyways and they didn't see her as a Luna for him, I was more close to his family,his sister to be precise. He had only one sister whom he adored.

And now, Natalia is  back in our lives again and truthfully, things are not looking good.

"Baby!" Her voice jolts me out of my reverie of thoughts, "can I sleep on your bed tonight? I missed it and I won't be able to fall asleep without you by my side anyways" her lips are curled into a smirk.

What nonsense is she talking about now? How dare she?

"Of course, princess" Nicholas answers much to my amazement and I open my eyes wide, what did he call her?

"Nick...."

"I am back to collect what is mine, Michelle" Natalia says as she grabs onto his arm, "rest assured"

"Nicholas.." I try to touch him but he shoves me off, luckily I did not fall.

"My lawyers will be here tomorrow morning, make sure to sign the papers"

Under my gaze, she leads him towards her room and they both shut the door so loud that I flinch and held onto my tummy for protection.
