Chapter 2
- Aurora's POV
- My heart sank seeing the position they were locked in, my husband Elijah and my sister Indigo were locked in an intimate embrace.
- Indigo was sitting on the desk, her legs wrapped around Elijah's waist and they were both naked.
- “I finally get to have you in the room alone,” It sounded like torture hearing Indigo moan out those words.
- “I have missed you,” I clenched my fist so hard.
- Indigo's eyes met mine or maybe it was just my imagination, she smiled, “I love you,” she kissed him on the lips.
- My personal bodyguard, Scott, also Elena's mate, closed the door, “Luna, I think it's time to welcome the guest.”
- “Are you aware of this?” I asked angrily and he ignored me, he knew. Scott knew about the affair of my husband with my sister. How could he not tell me?
- “Do you also think I'm a joke?” Tears rolled down my eyes.
- “I just wanted to protect you, I'm sorry,” Scott apologized, I didn't want to listen to anything so I ran away.
- “Just let her be,” I heard Elena say.
- I ran to the back of the house where I knew no one would be, I sat on the floor and buried my head in my hand.
- What wrong did I ever do? Where did I ever go wrong? I knew he didn't love me but my sister? They both went too far or maybe he manipulated her, Indigo isn't like that, she would never betray my trust.
- I shouldn't jump into conclusion like that, I should confront him, I must have seen wrong.
- I stood up and wiped my eyes, I was about to go inside when I heard an animal whimper, I looked around and saw an injured dog.
- I gently picked it up, “It must have been caught in a trap,” I said in my head after accessing the dog.
- Let's fix it, I touched the dog's leg and it began to heal. I let the dog go after I had healed his leg but I became a little weak.
- “Are you okay?” Someone asked and held me as I was about to fall. Did he see what I just did?
- I nodded my head because I couldn't answer. He looked familiar but I couldn't recall where I had seen him.
- The man was handsome, he was so tall and well built, he had beautiful emerald eyes, I got a little lost staring at his eyes.
- “What are you doing out here?” The man dropped his cigar on the floor and stepped on it.
- “Luna!!” Elena ran to where I was.
- I turned to her, feeling thankful that she came here, “Tell him, I'm okay and this is my house, also tell him, he should go inside and he isn't allowed in this area.”
- Elena turned to him, to my surprise, she smiled at him and bowed her head in respect, “Lycan King, I'm sorry, this is Alpha Elijah's Luna.”
- Oh my gosh, he is the Lycan King and I didn't even know, no wonder his presence had some type of Aura.
- “Oh I'm sorry, I didn't know who she was, I shouldn't have asked any questions,” The Lycan King waved at me and I smiled in response.
- “You are such a beautiful young woman and congratulations on your wedding anniversary,” I smiled at him.
- “Lycan, it's time to go inside,” one of the Lycan King's guards said. The Lycan King smiled at me before leaving with his guard.
- “Are you okay?” Elena asked and I forced a smile on my face.
- I wasn't okay, I was dying inside and I wished this would be over soon.
- “What did he say?” Elena asked, “He is so handsome, his wife would be so happy knowing she is bringing such a trophy home,” Elena fangirled over him.
- I hit her on the hand playfully, “He didn't say anything and what makes him special? I believe he is just like others.”
- “My lady, that's what you think,” Elena rolled her eyes and held my hand, “ Let's go inside, Alpha Elijah sent for you.”
- I nodded my head and followed her inside. I had mixed feelings about what I saw earlier but I just needed to pretend.
- “I hope you are treating my daughter well?” That was the question I met Father asking Elijah.
- With a smile on his face, he lied proudly, “Yes, she likes it here.”
- “Thank you for giving her the care, I couldn't give her,” Father smiled and left with stepmother and I saw Elijah roll his eyes.
- Elijah was about to leave when I held his hand, “Let's talk.”
- “What the fuck are you saying? Call an interpreter or something,” Elijah yelled in a whisper. I closed my eyes for a moment.
- “She wants to talk to you,” Scott said from behind me.
- “What does she want? The Lycan King is at this event and I want to go and greet him so make it snappy,” Elijah said impatiently.
- “Why did you do it? Why with my sister? Why in your room? Why did you get caught?” I asked angrily while trying to control my tears.
- “Luna Aurora wants to know why you were sleeping with her sister in your bedroom,” Scott said and Elijah burst into laughter making people's attention turn to us.
- “What gives her the right to ask me that question?” Elijah asked, “Didn't I try staying with dumb for the past five years?”
- “Were you doing me a favor? Did I ask you to marry me?” I asked angrily as the tears I was trying to hold fell off my eyes.
- “Did I force you to marry me? Does being dumb mean you should maltreat me?” Elena only interpreted one part and said whatever she liked.
- “You know what? I'm fucking tired of this madness, can't you see I don't love you? Can't you see marrying you was to secure my position as an Alpha, why do you keep whining?
- I secure my position as a powerful Alpha despite you being useless to me and you also got respect as the Luna, no one dares bully you, so what else do you want?” Alpha Elijah's words cut through my chest like a sharp blade.
- Elena looked at me and I shook my head, I couldn't even think of what to say, my head went blank as I stared in disbelief.
- Elena clenched her fist and said, “So you used me for your selfish means but at least you should have treated me right, not fuck my sister on our matrimonial bed!!”
- “What?
- Who is Alpha Elijah's mate?
- He was having an affair with his wife's sister?
- That's terrible, she was already dumb, I wonder what she will be going through?
- What did she think, that a man such as Alpha Elijah would stick with her for life?
- Will he denounce her as his mate?
- What will happen now?
- Did he mark the mute or the sister as his mate?”
- I began to feel anxious as those whispers were flying around the room. Please make it stop, please.
- “Look Aurora, you are weak, you are a useless mute, I don't love you and I don't think I can ever love you as I already love someone else so it's best I free you today,” Elijah said and I shook my head furiously.
- No, no, no, he can't do that.
- “Listen, I will pretend as if it didn't happen, I won't question you about it again, I will not Interfere,” I said. I waited for Elena or Scott to interpret it but they didn't.
- I touched Elena as tears rolled down my eyes, “Why aren't you saying anything?” I touched Scott, “Why aren't you telling Elijah what I said?”
- No one was listening to me, no one was and I felt helpless that I couldn't even help myself out.
- Elijah stared at me with indifference, he has never looked at me with love but today was worse than ever,
- “I, Alpha Elijah of the blood moon pack, declare before everyone here that I no longer recognize Aurora as my Luna, my mate and my wife, you are no longer my concern,” His every tone droppe
- d with poisonous Vernon and I could feel each drop burn me.
- I shut my eyes tight as a lone tear rolled down my face, I knew he didn't love me but now I finally got the message loud and clear.
