She Is The Luna

CHAPTER TWO.

AVERY’s POV.

“You can’t possibly mean this, Zach” I tell him as I start walking towards him again, “we have come a long way and you are going to let her take you away from me”

“She is carrying my child” he says again, “something you haven’t been able to do since we mated”

Zach throws the papers on the table, “look, I am willing to let you walk out of here with your dignity. So sign the f*****g papers and leave. I am willing to give you any amount you need”

I look at him and I can’t believe that he is the same man who claimed he was head over heels for me. When Zach and I met, he showered me with a lot of love and affection. He treated me like I was the only woman he had ever seen in his whole life. Now this man standing in front of me looked different, very different like I have never seen him before. When did it all go wrong? Why didn’t I notice that my mate was cheating on me with someone else? I should have felt the pain, my wolf should have felt it. What happened? Why didn’t I? I have a lot of questions going on in my head as I continue to stare back at the papers on the table.

“And if you must know” Karen starts to talk again, “I am already a month pregnant, so let’s just say we didn’t start seeing each other recently” a mocking smirk is lingering on her lips and I can’t help but want to rip her into a million pieces.

How can Zach do this to me? I am everything he wants in a woman so how come he just cheat on me and that too with my step sister”

“So sign the f*****g papers already and get lost, Avery”

“Don’t you dare..

“And don’t you dare speak to her in that tone” Zach counters and my heart breaks into a million pieces. I thought he loved me, I thought I was the only woman he ever loved and ever wanted.

“Sign these documents, Avery” Zach cajoles again, “you and I know you don’t want to be with a cheating man, yeah?”

His statement makes me laugh, of course he knows himself. This is a man that I have given years of my life too. A man that I had to pretend to be a helpless woman just to make him feel the best about himself.

A wolf born with the powers of the moon goddess, what makes him think that he can treat me this way? I f*****g gave up everything for him.

Well, it’s not like he is aware of my powers but it hurts, it hurts so much that I feel like dying. I love him, I love him so much so how can he do this to me? How can he look me in the face and ask me to sign divorce papers after getting my sister pregnant?

“I am not going to sign those papers” I yell In anger, “and I am not going to accept your rejection. You are mine, Zachary and I am not going to let this good for nothing sister of mine have you” frustration is written all over my face.

Not waiting for his response, I turn around and walk out of the office. Tears well up in my eyes, how can he betray me like this? I came to tell him about my pregnancy but I was the one who was shocked instead.

Pain surges through me as I hurry towards the elevator, I am hurt, so hurt that it feels like I am going to crash to the ground. For how long have they been seeing each other? For how long has he been cheating on me with Karen? The more I think about it, the more my pain intensifies.

As soon as the elevator door closes, I slump on the floor as hard bitter tears pour from my eyes.

I love him, I love him so much so how can he do this to me? How can he….

The tears continue to flow even as I step out of the elevator, I don’t bother wiping them off as I hurry out of the building.

As soon as the chauffeur sees me, he opens the car door for me and I slip in

“Take me home,” I tell him.

“Yes Luna”

Am I even fit to be called a Luna anymore? My mate wants someone else, he rejected me.

“Call me Avery” I tell him, I am not sure why I gave him that order but I will rather be called anything than Luna right now.

I don’t say anything again as the car makes its way home, all I want to do now is climb into my bed and maybe when I wake up, this will all be a dream. Maybe Zach will be beside me, telling me how much he loves me and kissing away my fears.

I press my head against the headrest trying to shove out any other negativity. I know Zach is going to come back and I am going to tell him about my pregnancy.

******

I force my eyes open and sit up, the side of the bed looks untouched. I guess he didn’t return last night. Thinking about it, all kinds of emotions run through my veins, he is truly choosing over me, our love and our child.

Sniffing back a tear, I pull my body out of bed and that’s when the door opens up and his face comes into view. My anger immediately disappears when I see him and my face crease into a smile.

“I knew you were going to come back” I rush into his embrace and bury my face on his chest, “I knew it was all a prank and you…

“Are you just dumb or stupid?” His voice Jolts me out of my thoughts and I immediately disengage from him.

“What the heck do you mean?”

“You look and sound so desperate and it disgusts me, Avery”

“But Zach, you love me”

“To hell with that love!!” He yells and I I flinch, unknowingly holding onto my tummy.

“I no longer want you” he says again, “you no longer mean anything to me and I hate to see your face. Karen is pregnant for me, she will be giving this pack its heir so you should be thankful to her and sign the f*****g papers already”

I clench my jaw together, trying to stop myself from crying. How can he hurt me like this?

He slams the papers on the bed and makes to walk out but he halts and turns to me again.

“And yes, I am going to make an announcement that Karen is the new Luna of the pack, so you had better leave before then if you don’t want any embarrassment” and like that he disappears out of the room. I continue to stare at the papers on the bed and my heart breaks more. How did a beautiful love story become like this? How did we end up in such a situation? He said he loved me, he said he wanted me and….

I slump back on the bed as bile rises in my throat.

Someone walks into the room and I raise my head to meet Karen, she has a smug look on her face. So Zach even dared to bring her to our matrimonial home.

“How does it feel now, dear sister?” She asks me mockingly, “to have the one you love the most taken away from you?” Well, technically Zach and I were an item even before you manifested as his mate and he begged me to endure for a moment since his father was still alive and what more, you had a lot of things he wanted and now that he has it.. there is no need for you anymore” she laughs again folding her hands across her chest,“You feel like you should die right?”

The sarcasm in her voice infuriates me the most, for someone’s whose mother seduced another’s mate, she sure has a loud mouth.

“That’s why you are just a weak wolf, Karen” I tell her and her countenance changed. Yes, she was born a weak wolf and once in a while, the power of the moonstones were used to infuse power into her wolf to keep it alive and here I am, a lot of powers at my disposal but neither does any of them know that I was born with the power of the moon goddess. Only mum and dad knew before they passed and now I am glad I didn’t tell anyone else and I have been masking it for years.

“Say that one more time” she grabs my neck, “for someone who lives behind Zach’s shadow, you sure talk a lot”

She shoves me off and dusts her hand like she has just touched something dirty.

“Sign the f*****g papers and get lost, you are no longer needed here”

With that she turns around and walks out of the room and I follow her, I won’t let Zach go without a fight but as soon as I step onto the hallway, I see the two of them kissing and Zach is practically about to f**k her on the hallway. His hands are all over her body while she presses into him, moaning with each kiss.

Anger wash over me, how dare he disrespect me like this?

As soon as I enter the room again, tears stream out of my eyes as I hold onto my stomach. How can he even look me in the face and do this to me? How can he….

A call comes through my phone and my forehead creases up when I see it is the driver.

“Hello” I say, trying to stop my tears.

“I am ready Luna” he tells me, “alpha Zach said to call you when I am ready for you”

“What does that even mean”

He goes silent for a while

“Talk to me..

“He said I should take you anywhere you want since you are about to get divorced”

My whole life shatters to the ground, has he announced it already? He couldn’t even wait for me to sign the papers?

“I will be out in a while” I finally tell him, pulling up my body. My anger intensifies as I storm out of the room into the hallway.

“Is this how fickle minded you are, Zachary Hills?” I half yell, sniffing back a tear, “announcing our divorce before I even sign the papers?”

“Have you signed?”

“What the f**k!!”

“She’s just wasting our time,” Karen tells him, pressing another kiss on his lips.

“To hell with you” I yell at the top of my voice, my wolf howls inside of me, “and I pray the universe punish you for the pain you are putting me through.

Then and then I make up my mind, I will not be embarrassed anymore.

Walking back into the room, I grab my pen and immediately scribble my signature on the papers.

As I look up, he is standing by the door and he looks really happy to see that I have signed the papers.

“That’s a good girl” he says, “just like I have always known. I knew you were going to sign it”

He yanks the paper away from me and caresses my cheek lightly, “this naïve stupid mate of mine. I have sent some money to your account. Think of it as my way of saying thank you for signing and like that, he turns around and walks out of the room.

By the time I come out of my room again, the two of them are having breakfast on our dining table, I can’t help but scoff. I have been a fool all along.

Walking past them, I make for the door but Karen’s voice stops me.

“Have a nice life, dear little sister”

I don’t bother to answer her as my eyes continue to linger on Zach who didn’t even spare me a glance. It didn’t even take him up to a day to fall out of love with me.

“And yes, Zach” I clench my jaw together, “I accept your rejection”

Sniffing back my tears, I walk out of the house and out of his life forever.

“Where to, Luna?” The driver asks me again and I glared at him.

“I am no longer your Luna” I tell him, “take me to anywhere, a place far away from here”

As the car zooms off, I can’t help but let the tears continue to flow, even my wolf doesn’t know how to console me anymore.
