Nadine Smith paced back and forth in front of the door. The Alpha of White Pride was inside but she couldn’t bring herself to knock on the door. She didn’t have the courage to do it after their heated argument earlier. However, she couldn’t delay it any longer. She had to have a heart-to-heart talk with her husband!
She bit her bottom lip as she slowly pushed the door after knocking three times. The creaking sound of the door added to her nervousness but she really had to do it!
However, the room was dark when she entered, and her hands fumbled as she searched for the switch. After switching on the light, her eyes widened in surprise upon seeing Marcus Caldwell on his oversized chair. He looked so down and his expressions were grim.
“Marcus, what’s wrong with you?” Nadine asked him but he just glared at her. So, as a dutiful Luna, she walked closer to him, but he dismissed her with a single wave of his hand.
“Will you please stop acting like you really cared about me, Nadine?”
She was taken aback at his outburst of anger, which was communicated through a voice that rumbled like thunder! In fact, Nadine was shocked by his manner of speech. Why did he feel such rage? As an Alpha of White Pride, it was unbecoming of him to just slouch over his oversized chair with a bottle of whiskey in front of him.
“Can you tell me what’s bothering you, Marcus?” Nadine asked.
“Please, just leave, Nadine. We will resume this conversation tomorrow,” he spoke without looking at her.
“Are you sure? It makes me nervous that-”
“I told you to stop acting as if you cared for me!” He shouted at her.
Once again, Nadine was perplexed by his outburst and decided to just leave him alone for a moment. The man was right. It would be better if they would just continue with their discussion the next day.
Feeling defeated for not being able to state her sentiments, Nadine returned to their bedroom. Then, she decided to kill her boredom by organizing her closet. Lately, her relationship with the Alpha has become challenging. Every day, she struggled with another variable but Alpha Marcus guarded his heart very well. He changed overnight, and she had no idea how to convince him that he’s the only man she loved!
While she was organizing her closet, she couldn't help but think about the changes that have taken place in her romantic relationship with Alpha Marcus. This was not something she had prayed for. Her life, however, has taken on a more vibrant hue as of late. She was lost in her thoughts that she completely missed the entrance of her husband into the room.
“Are you absolutely sure that you want to part ways with me?” Marcus inquired.
When she heard his voice, she was taken aback and startled. “Honey, I'm sorry we have to end up this way, but you have changed a lot. You are no longer happy with me, and I think, this is the best way for both of us,” she explained for the nth time why she had to leave.
“If only you didn’t have an affair with someone else!”
His tone was so harsh that it hurt her ears, and he was staring at her with such malice in his eyes. Nadine got to her feet and made her way over to him. “I told you it isn’t true, Marcus! How many times should I explain myself? I didn’t have an affair with another man!” She raised her voice as she explained her side but Marcus suddenly raised his hand, and the next thing she felt, was his fist on her stomach!
She was rendered incapable because of pain! Her frail body was hunched over in discomfort, and tears began to flow uncontrollably from her eyes. She had eventually had to get down on the floor and crouch because the pain was too much for her to bear. She yelled for help but Marcus just ignored her.
“Help me, Marcus,” she raised her other hand to hold him but he declined to assist her. Then, he stormed outside, leaving her while suffering in pain.
She continued to feel a stinging sensation on her abdomen, which prevented her from standing up even after he had left the room. Nadine made an effort to pull herself up by holding on to the door handle, and when she finally succeeded, she let out a terrified scream.
It looked like she had blood streaming down her legs! The burning sensation that she had felt earlier didn't go away, and if anything, it got even worse as time went on.
When she finally understood what was happening to her body, she broke down and sobbed.
When compared to the physical pain she endured as a result of his assault, the anguish she felt at the prospect of losing her child was one hundred times more excruciating. She was unable to move, so all she could do was cling to the door handle for support.
After a few moments had passed, Marcus came back, he was shocked to see that she was severely bleeding. He went through a period of panic. When he finally realized what had caused the bleeding, however, he became consumed with rage once more.
“Are you pregnant?” Marcus asked in disbelief.
The woman had provoked him, and as a result, he was unable to control his anger and struck Nadine with his fist. He didn’t want to hit her but he was furious. Of all people who could betray him, he didn’t expect Nadine to do it. He didn’t expect that she could sleep with another man while claiming she loved him!He should not have resorted to the level of violence that he did, but by the time he realized his mistake, it was too late.“I asked you a question, Nadine. Are you pregnant?”Nadine nodded and replied, “Yes, I am pregnant with your child, Alpha Marcus.”Marcus laughed at the woman’s response and grabbed her wrist. “Pregnant with my child? Do you think you can fool me?” He screamed at her and his voice reverberated in the entire room. “I can forgive you for sleeping with him, Nadine, but I can’t let his bastard to live!” He shouted at her again. He was infuriated. He was enraged! While looking at his Luna, he felt the urge to throttle her beautiful neck and to snap the life ou
Kate Fox smiled triumphantly after Alpha Marcus ordered her to deal with his Luna, Nadine Smith. She worked too hard during the previous years to attain her ultimate goal of replacing her best friend as White Pride’s Luna.She had Gabby McBride to thank for! The witch who had nothing but hatred against Alpha Marcus’ family has helped her to bewitch the man who could elevate her status as the Luna of White Pride.Kate connived with Gabby to attain their goal, and once she would become the Luna, she should allow Gabby McBride to exact her vengeance against Marcus. For Kate Fox, it was a fair deal, and she immediately agreed to it. She had always believed that the means would justify the ends!Gabby cast a spell to confuse Marcus, and because of the spell, he believed that his Luna has cheated on him. Moreover, he believed that the baby inside Luna Nadine’s womb belonged to another man. Kate couldn’t ask for more! She was so happy at the turn of events!“Did you hit her?” Kate asked Marc
For a moment, Nadine was disoriented by her surroundings. Then, she stared at Kate Fox! She was confused. She wanted to ask Kate but she was livid with anger at the woman. She wanted to scratch both of Kate’s eyes after betraying her trust, and bribing the doctors to kill her on the operating table!Yes! We are reborn! This is our second life, Nadine!Nadine frowned upon hearing those words. The voice was similar to hers but it wasn’t her voice. Then, her eyes widened when the realization hit her that it was her wolf’s voice! If she wasn’t mistaken, her wolf wasn’t awakened even when she was dying!Just call me, Étienne. I got a nice name for myself, right Nadine?Etienne? Hmmm, she really has a cute name! Regardless if her name was cute or not, Nadine was flabbergasted about why Etienne decided to be awakened on her second life, instead of the first!You should be happy that the Moon Goddess took pity on your life and gave you a second chance. Let’s not waste this opportunity, Nadine
Frederick Smith discovered her in a compromising situation and Nadine had no idea how to explain it to her father. When Marcus offered to save her name from ruination, she declined the offer. Although she was aware that Marcus was his mate, he didn’t express his true feelings to her. She didn’t want to be with him just because they were mates!“What’s wrong, Nadine?” Marcus asked as soon as he noticed that her expression was gloomy.“I don’t want to force you into this union, Marcus. Just tell my father that you have another mate, and it’s not me!”“Silly girl. You are my mate. You have always been my mate, Nadine. I just didn’t want to compromise our friendship because I know you so much,” Marcus said, smilingly.Nadine accepted her fate; to become the future Luna of White Pride. On her eighteenth birthday, before everyone would go home, Frederick Smith announced her engagement to the future Alpha of White Pride, Marcus Caldwell. Everyone blessed them…except for her best friend!Week
