When the Wolfless Howled

AMIRA'S POV.

My body trembled on seeing Augustine and Constance kissing in the bedroom. I tried to hold back the tears streaming down my cheek, but I couldn't.

My heart was too heavy to hold on anymore.

I heard Augustine and Constance laughing so loud, as though they had won the lottery, as Constance yelled out 'yes' to Augustine.

“I'll marry you my love. I am very much ready to be your mate.” She accepted his proposal, wrapping her arms around his neck, with her lips devouring his in split seconds.

It was our first anniversary after our wedding. I have been looking forward to this day to give Augustine a gift that would brighten not just our marriage, but also his love for me, because he had never truly loved me. And that gift was right in my hand in the form of a hospital report.

“I am pregnant with my Alpha's first child and heir,” I muttered.

Ever since I was made his Luna by his father,  he had never looked at me with love. Augustine always finds fault in everything I do, both little and big, and would end up leaving me in tears.  But the only night I felt wanted was the first time he took me in and I felt like a woman.

And I have come with that result hoping that the love I've been craving for years would be given to me when he finally learns that I am expecting his child.

But I was really kidding because it never happened.

Constance, the daughter of Alpha Alex of Jordan Pack and a Supermodel in the city had always been his first love. She was and has always been the apple of his eye before I even came into the picture. She was always in Augustine's heart, and today, being our first anniversary, he got her to finally say yes to him.

“I belong to you alone, Constance. You're my true mate. Augustine confessed, grabbing her by the waist with his lips trailing down her neck.

Constance moaned out in pleasure, burying herself in his grip.

The sight of this shattered me deeply.

I drew back, meeting the wall next to the room, with my whole body shaking. I felt my lips trembling. My heart was literally racing and out of its position. The tears that I tried holding back were streaming down my face.

“Whom did I offend, Moon Goddess, that I should be going through this?” I sniveled trying not to burst because I've had it up to my throat.

All of a sudden, I heard something:

“What are you doing here?” A voice questioning caused my heart to skip.

I turned to the door and saw Augustine and Constance standing there, staring at me.

“Were you spying on us, you shameless and useless woman? Constance growled, stepping forward to hit me. I drew back to avoid her attack, but Augustine pulled her into his arms, calming her down with a stroke on her head.

“Honey, I thought you were going to get rid of her? What is she still doing in our home?”

“Calm down my love. You don't have to worry yourself about her. She is a nobody.”

He said caressing his lover's face in my presence. With his words striking my broken heart, I lowered my head to hide the tears streaming out.

“Are you stupid?” I thought I told you not to come anywhere near my room?” He questioned harshly, causing my body to tremble. I was afraid to tell him the one reason why I was here but my heart pushed me to speak up. I reminded Augustine about our wedding anniversary being, and that got both of them laughing hysterically.

“Wedding anniversary, it seems this idiot is still blind to the truth. Tell her my love.” Constance bragged, lifting her finger to show me the ring Augustine had placed on her. Augustine boldly shared his proposal to Constance and how he's going to make her his Luna.

“You were only a wolfless fool and burden with no future. You and your father tricked my poor father into pitying you and making you my Luna. But this time I am going to make things right.

Placing Constance aside, Augustine stood forward and said:

“I, Alpha Augustine of Gregory Pack, reject you, Amira.”

The moment he said that, I felt a sharp pain in my heart causing my legs to tremble. I placed my hands on my chest, trying to ease the pain. Augustine didn't care, he began laughing with Constance. I watched them playing with each other lovingly and ignoring my presence.

My tears came flowing as I began to cry before them, slowly hiding the report behind my back.

“Oh! She's crying. “ Constance mocked.

“Augustine was never yours. He belongs to me….What is that?” I heard Constance question with my eyes turning to see what she was talking about, only for me to look directly at the hand I hid behind my back. That got my hand pounding.

“It's nothing.” I lied trying to hide the report from them.

Constance, who was more curious than ever, rushed up to me and forcefully pulled the report out of my hand.

“No,” I tried to take it from her, but Augustine stood in my way, shimmering his eyes at me. My heart began pounding in fear, looking at Constance.

Her face came all laced with shock, dragging Augustine's back for him to see.

“What is it?” Augustine asked beside her. His eyes grew large taking the report from Constance.

I could feel my hands shaking with heat all over my whole body. I drew back, staring at their stunned faces.

“Positive? Are you pregnant? Augustine uttered, dropping his gaze on me. The look in their eyes troubled my racing heart. I couldn't tell if Augustine's surprise was that of joy or the opposite. He just stared at me.

“You were going to hide this from me?” He questioned stepping forward.

His tone and temper were all calm, slowly taking away my fear. I watched as he drew away from shocked Constance approaching me. I didn't have the confidence to give him an answer. I just took my steps back feeling scared.

But when his hand came caressing my face, my heart glowed. There was a peaceful look in Augustine's eyes that left me staring at him.

Could this be a sign that he was happy about the pregnancy?

Has the Moon Goddess finally heard my prayers?

I was still reminiscing on all these when, to my greatest surprise, Augustine pulled my hair roughly, grabbing my throat. I choked out grabbing his hand to break free from his clutches.

“There's no way I'm going to allow you bear that thing.” He groaned, squeezing my neck tighter.

With a few struggles, I managed to pull myself from Augustine's hand running away from him.

They both came after me trying to catch up. I kept running praying to get away from them. I've studied Augustine for a year now and know when the evil spirit of anger rests upon him. At that point, he can kill, even if it means regretting it later, what happens at that moment matters a lot.

I finally got to the staircase, about to race down when someone pushed me forcefully from behind, sending me tumbling down hard.

My body crashed hard to the floor, unable to move.

I slowly lifted my gaze up the stairs and saw Augustine and Constance staring at me, having no remorse over their action.

“Someone help, she's bleeding.” A maid screamed in terror as my eyes shut.
