Daciana's pov
I can't believe that he forgot our anniversary…
Three years have already passed since I walked down the aisle and exchanged vows with my mate Eden, the Alpha of the blood diamond pack.
I had leapdd out of my room to go and greet him at the door of his own since we both slept in separate rooms despite being married and mates.
"Good morning, Grey, did you sleep well?" I greeted him.
He responded grudgingly and then said that he was going to stay out a little late and then slammed the door in my face
Both of my legs remain glued to the floor watching him slam the door, with only one thought ringing in my mind like a bell; had he really forgotten?
So tonight I was ready for him, wearing some sexy *pajamas* which I had gotten as a wedding gift but I was always too embarrassed to put it on.
Maybe if he saw me in this he would want me as much as I wanted him.
And besides that tomorrow was our packs annual gala and I had to come with him as his Luna, it breaks my heart that is the only time he ever wanted to come out with me was when it was compulsory.
Immediately after we got married he had become so cold to me as if we were nothing more than strangers that had been forced into an arranged marriage.
Three years had passed and it seemed like things were getting worse everyday.
But I love him so much and I wanted our relationship to work.
Now my skin shivered, and I shifted on my bed, the cool night breeze caressed me, my cheeks were as red as roses as this pinkish,smooth transparent fabric slid on skin, over my lingerie.
My eyes crossed over to the wall clock and anxiety group to my neck like fingers of steel making it hard for me to even breathe if he spent any longer I was going to put on my robe and just sleep.
For a brief foolish moment I interchange the thoughts that maybe he was actually getting me a wonderful present for our anniversary.
Suddenly I hear his voice coming from the hole where my heart made up which leaped with joy.
I ran like I was being chased until I got to the door and flung it open.
What I saw immediately made my tongue dry for words, and I just gaped there for a couple of seconds like an idiot.
I was broken out of my state of shock by my sister's screeching laugh which was just as pleasant as hearing nails run across a chalkboard.
"Oh, Daciana, I didn't know that you were here,"
She said with her hand on my husband's shoulder holding him as if she was the one that had exchanged vows with him and not me.
But then I noticed that he was glaring at me and the anger in his face seemed to be conflicted with annoyance or disgust, that was when I realised that I had been so excited that I hadn't even bothered to cover up myself before rushing out.
I wrapped my arms around my body but it barely hid anything, especially my shame.
He looked like he was about to throw up and I wanted to dig a hole and bury myself inside.
"What are you wearing?"
I bit my bottom lip thinking that nothing could make this moment even more embarrassing but then my sister Nikini walked over and tried pulling my hands away.
"Eddy…" She called him by the nickname that she had coined for him.
"She obviously wore something like this for you! Come on, Sis, show him the goods!"
I was so angry with the way she was acting that I pushed her away and almost immediately my mates had reached forward to grab her by her waist and he glared at me again.
He couldn't even bother to veil his disgust at all.
"I hope you don't end up embarrassing me by wearing something like this tomorrow…"
My eyes were glued to the floor because I couldn't even dare look at him now without bursting into tears and then he walked past me with my sister.
I gathered up some courage and ask them what they were going to do.
Nikini laughed and then she turned to my husband with a smile that almost passed her ears.
"Well, aren't you going to tell her what we are going to do Eddy?"
He grunted and without even looking back he said.
"We are going to be looking at the details for the security for tomorrow's annual make sure that you don't disturb us,"
And then they just kept heading towards his study from the looks of their direction, I quickly crawled back into my room before somebody else would come down the hallway and see me in basically nothing but my underwear.
The moment I closed the door behind me I melted on the floor with tears and sobs that shook my entire body.
After a while I was finally able to pick myself up and I went to my wardrobe changing into my normal baggy pajamas that looked like a sack over my body.
It didn't make any sense at all.
Why was he even discussing anything like that with my sister?
What did she know about security that made it necessary for them to go to his study privately when most of the preparations had already been concluded?
Dreaded thoughts pass through my mind but I immediately buried it in the back of my thoughts.
There was no way that Eden would do that to me.
He said that they were going to talk they were just talking!
Would I be too surprised if they were doing something more? My sister never really cared about my feelings because the truth is that I was actually the adopted daughter of the alpha of the moon crystal pack.
My dear sister never failed to remind me that I didn't belong in their family and possibly not even in the pack either, she would bully me every single day and make sure that I ended every night with tears on my pillow.
To say that I hated her with every fabric of my being was a huge understatement.
Now I just wish that she would stay away from my husband.
Suddenly I felt a pain in my lower belly and then rose up to my heart as if somebody had planted a fire inside of me that was burning me raw from the inside and then my wolf was growling, pensive and unhappy. There was only one thing that could be making it act out like this, and that was if my mate was having sex with others. But that was impossible, the only person that my mate was with right now is my sister Nikini, They couldn't be… The third rang in my mind and then I crept from my bed, opened my door and walked down the way till I got to the study, but I had already started hearing deep moans and heavy banging sounds against furniture beyond the door "Harder! HARDER!" I heard my sister screaming as if her life depended on it and then the grunts that came from my mate and my heart shattered into a million pieces but I couldn't move a single inch. I was far too frozen by shock to move, and I just stayed and listened until both of them sighed heavily and I could only he
Daciana's POV It was my fault anyways for waking up late like this, I didn't want to wait for me and then rushed to get ready, I looked through my wardrobe I saw that the only suitable things that I could wear for the occasion what's a silver gown that I had already patched in some places because of how long I had worn it. It really pained me, my husband will be openly buy designer dresses for my sister while I practically wore rags however I couldn't miss this occasion and I knew that you would practically bury me alive if I said that I didn't come because there was nothing suitable for me to wear so I just dey my little makeup and put on the dress. I gazed longingly at the mirror. Was I really as ugly as he said? What did I have to do for him to look at me the way he looked at my sister to desire me as much as you desired her even more? Suddenly I laughed silently at myself, I couldn't even get him to stand staying in the same space as me and talk less of him actually lik
I looked up to see the person that had evidently saved me from that embarrassing fall and then my eyes were blessed with one of the most handsome werewolves that I've ever seen in my entire life he looks so majestic. As if he have had walked out of a painting and was not even part of reality, he gently helped me off to my feet as I thanked him profusely but he didn't respond with anything more than a nod and his face was completely expressionless so much so that I could not tell if he was upset that I had fallen in his way and he had to grab me and I was suddenly feeling self-conscious about myself but still thankful then his eyes came over to my husband and said in a monotone voice that was low and deep and velvety. Yet filled with so much command. This was the Lycan King, I had heard so much about him but I've never really gotten the chance to see him in person and knowing that he has just saved me from such an embarrassing fall made me a little giddy. "Are we going to begin
Daciana's pov I felt drenched in guilt being caught in that kind of compromising position with another man by my husband but it wasn't anything like that. "Eden please don't misunderstand the situation, I was about to fall and then he…" "I apologize for my wife's behaviour," my husband immediately said before I was even done talking at all and I was wondering what he was even apologizing for in the first place. "... I'm sure that she found a way to pester you to come out here and has been bothering you that is just how she is she likes attention from men," I couldn't believe what I was hearing right now. I had been viciously loyal to this man even though he treated me like trash for the past three years and now he was painting me out to look like some kind of attention seeking whore In front of the Lycan King! Arnou was just looking at him, his face as blank as always, he did not even react when I jumped out of his hands and he spoke again in his usual monotone voice. "Alp
Daciana's povI winced in pain, as Eden kept pulling me through the hard floors of the hallway which lead to the conference room.“You’re hurting me, Eden.” I managed out in a whisper, as we got to the door of the conference hall, staring down at the little trail of blood from the injury at the hoof of my leg that was caused by the broken heel.“Does it look like I give two shits about you? Even if you should fall off a cliff right now, it’ll do both I and you a huge favor.” Eden said with gritted teeth, causing the hole in my chest to deepen more, as I felt a lump at the back of my throat, and tears behind my eyes, which threaten to fall out.“Can... can, I at least use the bathroom and clean up, before joining you in there?” I asked in a choke, hoping he'll at least consider my present state.Eden stared down at me with so much malice laced in his eyes, before letting my hand go in a huff, causing me to land on the floor like a ragdoll. I was more grateful that everyone had already
Daciana's pov.“Took you long enough,” Eden said to me with gritted teeth, as I got to his side.“Sorry, I lost track of time while in the bathroom,” I said under my breath, very aware of the fact that we were being watched by everyone in the conference hall.“Or you were making a whore of yourself with one of your conquests in the bathroom, or where you claimed to be,” Eden said, raising his voice a tad bit, causing all attention to move fully on them.“I had to get the wound the heel caused all cleaned up and got a new pair of shoes.” She explained, lifting her long gown to show evidence of her claim. “Oh, he even helped get you cleaned up after fucking you in the bathroom!” Eden growled out, fully gaining the attention of everyone in the room. The ladies watching the show with glee, as a distraction so juicy, had emerged from the so boring conference meeting already, while the men watched with keen interest, to see what would become of it, no one stepping in to intervene.“You ev
Daciana's pov.“I reject you as my mate and Luna!” His voice resounded in my head, as I felt my heart clench painfully due to the rejection from my mate. He said that without even a hint of remorse. His wolf was so cruel and cold. It made my insides twist and churn with anger and pain. But there wasn't any other choice. Even if I wanted to change his mind I couldn’t. It seemed long due already, for the past three years we were both in a lie of marriage. But it didn't stop it from being the most painful kind of pain I had ever felt. The rejection was worse than the pains I felt when he left my bed cold all three years long, or the emotional abuse he had caused me. It felt even worse than the pain I felt when I heard my sister moan my husband’s name in the study, worse than the pain of humiliation I felt, or the pain of the injury, the falls, and the slaps he landed on my face. The pain felt like a knife being plunged into my heart while my eyes burned. I held my chest in pain whi
Daciana's pov.“Mate?” Alpha Arnou's voice resounded in the hall, as gasps of shocks and low chattering were heard in the hall.I gazed back bewildered, wondering what sort of joke the moon goddess was playing with me, as I felt the strong mate bond towards the Alpha before me.I closed my eyes, awaiting the pain of rejection to suffice from the alpha, as I knew already, he wouldn't want a tramp like me.I let my eyes flutter open after some seconds of silence from the alpha and the whole hall. With my eyes still down, I tried to pull myself up from the ground, only to feel a firm hand on my shoulder stop me. My heart rate started speeding up with nerves and I opened my eyes to meet the stern gaze of the Alpha that the moon goddess had decided to use to make a complete mockery of me.His grey eyes bore into mine for a few seconds as he took in my state, before releasing his grip on my shoulder and pulling me upwards to my feet by my elbow. He then pulled me close to him, so that hi
