Chapter 2
AUBREY
“Answer me, Roland!!!”
He walked up to me with the coldest eyes I’ve ever seen him wear for me. Unlike me who was already a train wreck he maintained his calmness as if he and his devilish mate hadn’t just dropped the greatest bombshell of my Life!
I already knew his answer even
newer even without h
spilling it yet a part of me foolishly cling to hope..
“It’s true,” he simply answered and like a gentle river, tears streamed out of my eyes.
“No, it isn’t, I cried whilst wriggling my head
He inhaled deeply. “It is. Aubrey.”
“How could you, Roland Three years! Three years, Roland. I’ve loved you, cared for you, stood by you, I’ve always tried to do my best as Luna of the Pack and this is what I get in return?!”
“Melissa is my mate!”
“And I am your wife!!” I gripped the collar of his suit jacket. His eyes mirrored the deadly shade of golden yellow beaming in my eyes. My claws had ripped through his fabric as well.
“How long? How long have you been cheating on me, Roland!”
“I met her three years ago,” he replied and I gasped while another round of tears streamed down my cheeks. With every word that flowed out of his mouth, it shredded my heart.
“After our marriage. my voice broke.
Five months before we got married. Our circumstances wouldn’t let us be together back then. While I went on to marry you, Melissa spent most of her time in the human world to chase a career in medicine but we didn’t lose contact over the years. And now, it’s only proper that I make things right. She’s my woman and she should be by my side, not you”
My eyes twitched in disbelief. “Yer you went ahead and got married to me. How could
you, Roland!!
“Oh please. Aubrey,” he snapped my hands off his jacket in a blink. “Don’t pretend like you don’t know the context of our marriage. Our marriage was contractual! Your family had the resources I needed to keep my Alpha title and in return, I made you Luna. If it wasn’t for your father’s influence you think you can even get the luxury of sharing the same breathing space with me?” He scoffed while my breaths failed me yet again.
“You’re delusional. Aubrey. Hell! You didn’t even honor the most important part of our contract. An heir!“
“Is it my fault we don’t have a child yet? You know better than anyone how much we tried hard-
“Blame your fate for being an epitome of bad luck!” He cut me off abruptly and I lost my chords while pain raged in my chest like brimstone fire. My vision has already become hazy from tears. I couldn’t help but entertain our memories together and wondered how much of it was a lie,
“If I wasn’t in a fix three years ago, I wouldn’t have married you, Aubrey. Your powerful family I married you for have now lost their influence and power. Frankly, you are not useful to me anymore.“
My palms clenched while my teeth gritted as a sharp migraine ruled my head like a storm. For the first time in my life, I wished the ground would swallow me and never spit me out.
“Our marriage our moments.” I mumbled. “Everything was a lie.”
He scoffed. “You were just a means to an end, Aubrey.”
“I loved you, Roland” I sobbed but the iciness in his eyes didn’t falter in the slightest. All those warmth of his I was accustomed to were all a facade. He hated ine all along.
“I want a divorce,” he said and I lost the will to draw my next breath
“What?”
“Simon, call the Park Chiefs. I want them gathered here as soon as
soon as possible,” he casually said.
I turned to Simon whose eyes were filled with guilt and sadness intertwined. My eyes then drifted to Mrs. Robertson
“Mother,” I called, hoping she would come to my rescue but there she was playing with Jeremy in her arms.

“Finally! It’s about time you got rid of this barren woman!” She said while reviewing me like I was a disgusting piece worth no love showing.
I turned to Melissa wearing an empathic look but I was no fool. I knew she was thoroughly enjoying the show and would love nothing more than for me to be kicked out of this family.
our new Luna.
“Roland. Now that we have finally have a successor with us, it would be best to make Melissa our
“Mother!” Melissa gasped. “This is too much! I don’t deserve thist”
“Nonsense! You are Roland’s mate, you bore his child, and let’s not forget that you are one of the most famous doctors in the country. You have every qualification to be our Luna. It is your right!”
Melissa donned a tiny smile before gazing at me as if she was subtly rubbing it in my face.
let me give my future daughter–in–law and my grandson a tour around the mansion.” Mrs. Robertson chirped before pulling Melissa up
“Come on.
the stairs with her.
As she threaded past me. I instinctively knew it was over. My time and reign here as Luna was over. Did I hate Melissa for being a homewrecker? Probably not. Roland was her mate after all. But then again, did I deserve this torture!
“What are you waiting for, Simon, call the Pack Chiefs Roland ordered and Simon heaved a deep sigh before leaving with Rose. Only Roland and I were left in the room and neither of us agreed to leave each other’s gaze.
“Do you
know why I married you in the first place?” My voice trailed a whispery path.
“Isn’t it obvious! You wanted to be Luna”
I wriggled my head. “It’s because I liked you from the very moment, Roland. Not because you were Alpha, not because you were a Robertson but because you were simply yourself. You were loving, you would go to great lengths just to ensure the safety of your Pack members. More than anyone you were hardworking and even when the burden of the Pack was the heaviest you would still assure us with a smile and be our ray of hope.
I guess I was a fool entranced by the Alpha’s charms.”
His eyes twitched for a moment but then he looked away from me yet he didn’t walk away.
“You could have done this on another day, Roland. At least I would still have one last ounce of respect for you.” I wiped my tears off and took rounds of deep breaths before letting the heavy words roll out.
“I reject you as my husband, Roland Robertson. Let’s divorce.”
