I was taken aback in my step as his words cut a deep wound through my heart and I could barely breathe. The word resounded in my head until my brain drummed into a headache.  

A cold flint of emotions rushed through my body even to my bones. The smiles these days whenever he came to work, the green light that I thought he had were flashing in my direction.They were all because of Silva.

  The last thread that was holding my emotions broke. The emotional pain  reflected even in my facial expression.   However, he didn't care or he didn't even notice. 

"Get ready and finish your work in the pack house. Same day next month, we will be getting a divorce and I will be doing what I should have done a long time ago!" 

  I understood exactly what those words meant. He was going to be breaking our mate bond. I collapsed on the bed, my heart now in shreds. Not bothering to even spare a glance at me, he was already walking away from the room, with his face still connoted with irritation.

  My eyes paired at the empty void of the ceiling. Strand after strands of tears escaped from my eyes. I was sure that I had begun this war, I had known Alpha Luke long before even his fame at high school.

   My emotions all gathered in my heart was twitching. I had fought a war for his heart for over Twenty years of my life and still lost.  

"Hey! I don't want to pile up your bad news but we are still one! If you die I will die so you have to get your crap together!" My wolf's yelling mind link almost blocked out my ear drums.  

I smiled in pain. The words unlike her other sassy statements jolted a little bit of sense into my head. 

  There was no way that I was going to continue crying over a man forever. I had already wasted a lot of my life trying to win him over, maybe it was time for me to move on and find a life outside this love. 

  I was not going to be pained by this sudden declaration. I should have already known that it was going to happen sooner or later. 

  "Thanks, Rose!" I muttered standing from the bed and walking off from the room while someone was also trying to walk in.

  "This should be the master bedroom! It's so big. But obviously not for three" The familiarity of this voice broke all the resolutions that I had made just a few moments ago.  

SILVA. The ever evil seeking witch but with a facial outlook that was innocent to a fault. If I didn't know the kind of person that she was, I could have easily fallen for it too. 

  My face connoted into a deep frown. Looking at her only heightened the feeling that I needed to punk.

   However, the most important question in my mind was her agenda here. Luke had not mentioned anything about her being here, talkless of my matrimonial bedroom. 

"What are you doing here!" My frown deepened.

"Just taking back what's mine, lonely loser!" She replied with a smack that only seemed to make my blood boil over and from the looks on her face, she loved it. 

"I'm sorry darling! Is there a problem? You know, I could easily ask Alpha Luke to fix it and he would be running to do my bidding." 

  My hands were clenched. I was holding every single cell in my body to prevent myself from throwing a solid slap to ruin that face. 

"You always get what you want, Silva. Why did you have to lie?"  

"About what exactly?" Her face was ever so Innocent. 

  "Oh? About Yesterday? When I drugged Luke in his office? Too bad he went back home before the drug could even kick in! Or the runaway and threatening part?" She smacked.

  I boiling over with rage in the inside. So hot that every part of my body was dripping with sweat. 

"I was the one made for Alpha Luke Ariel, Not you. I saved his life and not you. You are a woofless nobody even with your background. You don't deserve Alpha Luke and never will, no matter how hard you try. So you better start packing up your things to leave. And before I leave, you are the Luna right, and I am hungry. So for you last duty to the pack, I need you to prepare a meal for the soonest to be Luna, which would be me of course."   

The grip on my hands was so tight that nails dug into my hands bringing the scent of my blood that was nothing compared to the heartache that I was feeling.  

What could I do other than to let her go? That didn't mean I would step out of the way for her. Or maybe my legs were purposely placed across the floor making her trip a little. 

  I should have known the person that she was already but I was beyond stunned when she tripped herself over and she began to cry out loud, enough for everyone in the pack house to hear.

  "What's going on here!" The swiftness was beyond anything that anyone could imagine. Alpha Luke was already there, rushing towards his love so passionately. It was certainly one epic love.  

Tears streamed easily down those cute and evil-looking eyes of hers. 

  "She pushed me. Saying that I can't be here. She's threatening me again Luke." she sobbed more.

"How dare you, Ariel! How dare you touch her!" He yelled at me, the vines on his neck already popping out.

  "Slap!" The pain first surged throughout my face before it eventually vibrated through my body.  

I looked at Luke in utter astonishment. The smile on Silva's face avoidable.

His loveless eyes peirced through my body.  This was something that I thought he was never capable of doing. Luke never needed my explanation in anything. He always believed Silva without any form of doubt.  "I think it's time that we end it!" I walked away. 

  *****

   It's a few weeks now since Silva arrived in the pack house and two days before I would finally be out of the pack.

   I didn't care anymore. My mind had already been made up and I would be off from their pack for good.   

The workers at the pack already enjoying her skillful hands of torture while I continued with my final paperwork. 

As the day went by, I stayed overnight working on them, barely able to chunk food in my mouth. 

  I had to move to the guest room even though we had not officially been divorced. Their moans defied even the noise control that I had gotten for myself.

It hurt that someone was getting everything that I had to work so hard for and never got with so much ease, but I was determined to be strong.  

Or maybe it was just my excuse for finding a way to avoid thinking about Alpha Luke and his Love.

  'Tap!' The sound of the door interrupted my work.   "Come in!" I announced. 

"Your neck's going to shrink if you go on with this!" A muscular voice came from behind.

   It was Henry, the Beta of the pack, and also my close friend. Even with his duties as the Alpha of the pack, he has always supported me but there was so much that he could do. 

My nose was caught with a fresh scent that made me pause almost instantly. Food. I had been longing for a while but...

   He came over to me, shoving my paperwork aside a little bit and dropping the tray.

"No chef, no assistant, I made this myself!" He smiled and I smiled back weakly at him. 

"That means I can guess what it would taste like already!" 

"And what's that!" He was genuinely intrigued. 

"Puke!" I responded with a laugh that I had not gotten in quite a while and from the looks on his face, he liked it.

  "Good to see you laugh again. You don't know how magical it used to be." His voice dripping over with concern.

  "And I will be proud to prove you wrong... This time." He responded, snapping out from his sudden daze and gesturing to the meal.  

"I should leave with your meal now!" He ended up already walking away when I stopped him.  "Is there a problem Luna Ariel?" He inquired.  

"I just wanted to say thank you!" My words were truly heartfelt.  

He nodded with no intention to speak. I picked up the cutlery to start eating when my vision suddenly began to blur.

  I didn't know what was wrong with me but I could hear yells, Henry's voice being part of them and eventually, I snapped out of consciousness.   

My eyes paired through the room that I was in. With the beeping machine by my side, I was certainly in the hospital. 

The door was opened and a doctor walked right into the room. Hopefully, I had been taken to the hospital of my best friend, Jenna and I had not seen her in quite a while.

"A month pregnant and you never noticed?" Her eyes were puzzled and my heart froze.
