The Taste of the Scorned Luna's Revenge

Five

Faye's POV

"I came as early as I could," my best friend Zoe said as she rushed into my room looking very worried. I had sent her a text to come to my house early that morning.

I raised my head to her and the look on her face quickly dissolved into anger. She walked in briskly and sat beside me on the couch then pulled me into her hands. I didn't hold back as I allowed the tears to flow freely. She was my best friend and I didn't mind her seeing me at my worst.

"What happened Fay?" Zoe asked using her version of my name when I had stopped crying.

"Rex," I said quietly.

"I know it is Rex. He always happens but what happened this time?" Zoe asked rolling her eyes.

"Rex had s*x with me with Veda on his mind," I said.

"What? I don't understand. How did you find out?" Zoe asked so I went on to explain everything to her.

"I feel so dirty Zoe. I have never been so humiliated. I hid in the bathroom till I was sure that he had left my room," I concluded.

"Left to me, you should have walked out of this marriage the moment he turned cold," Zoe said.

"I am going to disappoint a lot of people, my parents, his parents, and I will also be leaving the pack without a Luna. That is purely irresponsible," I said then stood up and started pacing.

Zoe allowed me to pace for a while then spoke again with the seriousness of an old woman.

"Be truthful to yourself Fay. Are the reasons you have listed the reasons you haven't walked out of this dead marriage?" Zoe asked and I sighed.

What I had said were the excuses that I kept giving myself to stay in a marriage that was over before it could even start but Zoe knew me too well. We have been best friends since we were eight years old.

"I love him, Zoe. I have loved him since I was a child. I can't even bring myself to unlove him," I said sadly.

"If you threaten the peace he thinks he has maybe he will want to change," Zoe said thoughtfully.

"What do you mean?" I asked frowning at her.

"Tell him you want a divorce," Zoe said and my eyes widened in surprise at her words.

"Are you mad? I am sure that he would gladly hand me the divorce papers himself," I hissed.

"Males do not like to be threatened with divorce. Especially when they like the female a little. Besides, their ego can't take the rejection," Zoe explained.

"No. I do not want that and I will not look Rex in the eyes and tell him that I want a divorce. That is not the solution," I said angrily.

"What is the solution then? Please tell me," Zoe said in mild annoyance.

"I need to do something that will make him notice me and pick me over Veda. I need to make him fall in love with me," I said and Zoe grew as if she was in pain then covered her face with her hands.

"You sound ridiculous. You sound desperate. You sound like you do not know your self-worth. You have been married to Rex for three years now and counting and he is yet to love you and you think there is something you can do now that will make him love you?" Zoe said incredulously.

"Maybe I should get pregnant," I said and Zoe's eyes widened.

"What? You want to bring a child into this coldness you call a marriage just because you want to see if it will get your mate's attention to you. Are you that selfish?" Zoe asked glaring at me.

"I am out of options Zoe. I am desperate here," I said then slumped on the bed in a loud thud.

Zoe was silent for a while then she said "You know what? I think you should unwind. I believe with a clear mind, you will reason properly."

"What do you want us to do?" I asked raising my head slightly to look at her.

"Nothing much. Pick a few things and come with me," Zoe said. I knew better than to argue with her. So I picked a few things and told the maid that I was going out with my friend.

Zoe drove us straight to her house and we were there till late in the evening when she decided that we were going to the club.

"Zoe, I didn't tell the maid that I wouldn't be coming back home. Rex will be pissed," I said and Zoe rolled her eyes.

"Rex is less concerned about what you do and you know that," Zoe said and I kept quiet because she was right. Rex doesn't question anything. It was as if he didn't give a damn what I did with myself.

"Still, I should not be seen doing what nots. I am the Luna of this pack Zoe," I said quietly.

"Fine. I promise to get you back to your house before midnight. I just need you to unwind a little. Getting married to Rex robbed you of youthful fun. You are just twenty-one or twenty-two. Live a little Fay," Zoe said.

I nodded and sat there while she prepared me for the club. She gave me a dress that I wouldn't wear if I were given the option but for peace's sake, I wore it and we went to the club.

I just sat down at the dimly lit club and nursed a drink while Zoe danced with anyone she wanted. She wanted me to dance but I refused. She soon came to sit down accompanied by a young handsome male. They kept talking while I just sat there quietly.

I excused myself to use the bathroom. I looked at myself in the bathroom mirror after I was done and sighed. I was beautiful but Rex seemed blind to that fact.

I took a deep breath and stepped out of the bathroom only to be pulled against the wall and a hard chest pinning me to the wall.

"How can you be this beautiful? I have watched you all night. You keep calling out to my wolf, why?" The male pinning me to the wall asked looking intensely into my eyes.

His gaze was dark, unreadable. He was handsome but in a dangerous kind of way and his breath made me shiver. I wanted to stand there and just relish his closeness but I quickly got to my senses and pushed him away from me.

I ran away from him expecting him to chase after me but he didn't. He just stood there with the dark, unreadable look in his eyes.

I ran to where Zoe was seated chatting with the male she had brought back and pulled her up telling her that it was time we left.

Zoe kept asking me what the problem was but I couldn't answer her as the brooding dark eyes kept flashing in my head. Who was he and why was my heart beating so fast at the thought of him?
