“We are expecting a baby,” Logan told me grinning widely. I reached out to my stomach and clasped a hand around it.
But...
I wasn’t pregnant.
“Blair is pregnant.” His face was devoid of any emotions for me as if I wasn’t his mate. He was my fated mate, the love of my life, the man I’ve loved for the past five years ever since that night I found out he was my mate.
I devoted myself to him but this is what I got. He had gotten a girl pregnant, a girl that wasn’t me.
My wolf let out a painful howl at his words. I had given everything to Logan, I loved him so much, how could he do this to me?
He was telling me this without a glint of hurt in his eyes like I was nobody and not the Queen Luna of this pack and he fated me choosing me the Moon Goddess and because of me because the Alpha King.
“Why?” My voice croaked and my eyes were brimming with ears. I tried to touch him, but Logan crinkled his nose and took a step back from me.
“What do you mean why?” He tucked his hands in his pocket and scoffed in disbelief. “You couldn’t fulfill your duty as my mate and as the Luna of this pack. The pack needs an heir, I need a child and that’s something you’re incapable of.” He snarled and glared icily at me.
My knees faltered, his words felt as if I was being stabbed with a knife.
“It’s been five years, Seraphim.” He counted his fingers in front of me and drawled on the word again. “...five years.”
He scoffed and run his hands over his hair.
“Admit it, you’re cursed. Even the pack doctor said you can never have pups!” He growled and turned his back on me.
“Logan I...I...” I didn’t know what to say, and I didn’t want to break down in front of him.
He was using my weakness against me that I was unable to bear pups, I thought if I had one maybe it would at least change Logan's attitude towards me. After he heard the news from the pack doctor that I won’t be able to bear his pups he became cold and aggressive to me.
“You’re so pathetic, Sera. You should be happy, everyone is.”
Everyone?
Everyone in the pack house was aware that Logan has gotten another girl pregnant and they were happy about it. Someone that was not their Luna?
“I’ll be making Blair’s child my rightful heir, we are having a son. And the elders have agreed to it besides it’s the appropriate thing to do. Having an heir is important in the pack.” His back was still against me as if staring at me disgust him.
I could feel my wolf crush and my legs are starting to shake.
“Blair?” That was when the name rang a bell.
“Yes, Blair Breckinridge.” He spun around and his cold blue eyes stared at me.
My legs gave in, I couldn’t hold back anymore.
I wanted to scream at him, hit him, and claw his eyes out but I could not do any of that because of the mate bond we shared. It made me like him even now.
I knew Logan had a mistress and that he was seeing someone when he started acting out but I never thought it was Blair.
My step-sister.
How could Blair do this to me?
Wasn’t it enough that they snatched my mother away from me and stepped into the family?
Logan walked out of the room and he didn’t glance twice at me as he left, no apology, no sympathy nothing at all.
I crouched to the ground and hit my hand over my chest, the pain was suffocating. My wolf was howling painfully.
I decided to do what I do best at such times run away from it towards the woods and let my wolf breathe.
I was heading out of the house with a face cap over my head, I didn’t want anyone to see my red swollen eyes.
I stopped on my track when her scent immediately hit me. My wolf growled, and it made me crinkle my nose in disgust.
Blair.
I was the eldest daughter of the Alpha King, my father was the king of all werewolves and the leader of the Crystal Fall Pack and he died two years ago. His love drifted away from me when Vivian, Blair’s mother came into our lives with her little daughter, Blair who she claimed was my father’s.
My mother died afterward and my father never got to know the kind of person Blair and her mother was, he saw me as the one who hated them.
He suddenly fell sick two years ago and died I never reconciled with him because I blamed him for mom’s death and he likewise hated me.
And now they want to take the one thing I had left, my mate, and threaten my position as Queen Luna.
Blair is pregnant for my mate.
She stood a bit taller than my five feet four, her long black hair and soft hazel eyes. She was beautiful like a model, with her long legs. It was easy to seduce anyone with those beautiful features of hers.
But yet I see no reason why Logan would fall for her.
“Sera.” She called out to me with an innocent look. She was in the hallway towards the living room as if she was waiting for me, have I become that predictable?
I didn’t not want to talk to her, I chose to pretend that I didn’t hear her and made my way out of the house.
“Please wait.” She grasped my wrist and force me around to face her, I growled at her touch.
“I’m so sorry.” She looked as if she was about to cry.
“You’re my sister, I didn’t wish to hurt you. I do not want to be the one who tried to ruin your marriage with Luna. At first, I tried an abortion because I didn’t want it to be like this and then I become pregnant again...” Her eyes were brimming with tears. She was trying to pour salt into my wound saying all this to my face.
“He’s the Alpha King, how can I deny him when he wanted to keep the child, please do not hate me or my baby. He’ll be the heir.” She rested her hand on her belly, I couldn’t see the baby bump yet.
She was seeing it to my face as if I was nothing, and she was the victim and not me.
I was the one who had suffered for years with Logan with the pains of not being able to bear pups and watching Logan treat me coldly, I wonder if it was because of my infertility he hated me or if there was something else to it.
Even when she knew Logan was not her mate, she took him away from me!
I had held back for years but not today, I wanted to let my wolf out and lashed at her and shred her to pieces.
I pushed her roughly away from me and Blair fell, I never knew she was this despicable.
“You came to mock me, did you? That you have my mate wrapped between your finger because you’re pregnant for him!” I yelled at her.
“You want to ruin my life the way your mother did, didn’t you? Isn’t this how your mother came into my father’s life!” I screamed in her face controlling the urge not to pounce on her.
“You cheap whore!”
Blair began to cry and that was when I felt the eyes that was around me. I could hear their murmuring.
“...is this how the Luna should behave. She has no sympathy for a pregnant woman.”
“How could she treat her like that?”
I took a step away from her.
“Sera. I didn’t mean for this to happen.” She broke down in tears.
“Blair!” I heard the Beta Matthew shout and rushed to Blair’s side and comforted her. He helped her off the ground. His eyes went to me in hatred.
“She’s pregnant with the Alpha’s heir, she only wants to make amend with you, how could you treat her like this?” He snarled at me.
“Isn’t this too much Luna?” He asked angrily.
“I’m heading out, do not stop me.” I gritted my teeth and he bowed his head in submission.
I hurried out of the house only to be crushed by someone who was leaving the Packhouse as well.
My face cap fell from my head and the strong hand held me and pulled me into his chest, restraining me from falling.
