Take my Fate

Chapter 2

I hope Luna Isabella won't be home. I just wanted to have a conversation with my husband, hoping he would listen to me. The drive home was refreshing, I felt alive again. It was the first time in a long time my wolf felt free and relaxed. The air was crisp and felt soft on my skin.

When I got to the door of the mansion where I lived for 8 years, I smiled sadly. It was here that my misery started, it was here that my life began to turn upside down.

8 years ago, I was a young woman with so much potential, I lived the life I wanted, not until I met Alpha Lucas. We fell in love or so I believed. It was beautiful and for me alone, because my parents were never in support of my relationship with him.

I didn't listen to anyone, but my instinct and my sister who trusted my judgment. When my family turned against me, she was always the one who would stand for me and say kind words to me. I didn't know what to think anymore, but she was my shield.

My mother in-law, Luna Isabella never liked me even when her son was so in love with me. She discouraged him from getting married to me, but he didn't listen to her. He disobeyed his mother for me and that ignited the hatred she had for me.

On our wedding day, it was all fake smiles. No one in my husband's family liked me, not even his sisters. For 8 years, I was maltreated and looked down upon.

Alpha Lucas who once loved me turned against me, and never cared to know how I fared. It was because of their negligence and wickedness that I got cancer.

All these memories went through my mind as I kept wondering what if I had married someone else, would my life have turned out better? If I hadn't married Alpha Lucas, wouldn't I be living a better life and not battling with cancer?

“Slowly..”

I stopped as I tried to climb the stairs and it wasn't because I felt a sharp pain in my heart, but because I heard my husband's voice.

Yes, he was usually home at this time but never with someone. This was his quiet time at home so why was I hearing someone's voice. He was probably listening to the radio.

I tried to carry myself even though I found it difficult. The doctor had said that I had 6 months left to live. One year, if treated well. I took that chance to live, to mend all the wrongs in my life and turn them to right.

“That was wonderful. You brought your A game tonight.”

“As usual, you mean.”

I had reached the top of the stairs and I could now hear clearly that my husband was speaking to a woman, because his room was so close. I didn't know what they were talking about, but he sounded happy and satisfied. How could he sound like that when I was at the hospital?

“What about Karla?” The woman asked again.

I was going to knock but I stopped when the voice of the woman sounded so familiar. Who was she? And why was she asking about me?

“That b***h doesn't want to die. I think I'll have to kill her myself.”

I listened to know if it was my husband's voice I heard, or if it was someone else's. I couldn't figure why he would speak about me in that manner.

I was now facing the door and could hear them clearly. They were very loud, maybe because they weren't expecting anyone.

“Come to bed, come on.” The woman urged him.

“Okay, baby. I'll just light this cigarette.”

He must have lit the cigarette because I could now perceive the smell from where I stood. I noticed that the door was slightly opened so I decided to go in. At this point, I knew that Alpha Lucas was cheating on me. I have been married to Alpha Lucas, and I never for once thought that he was cheating.

Was I really that dumb?”

“Maybe I should push her down from a story building.” The woman said again and this time I was shocked. Why would the woman Alpha Lucas was cheating on me with, want to kill me so badly.

They laughed.

“Don't stress yourself, baby.”

“Her hospital bills are piling up and they would have to stop giving her treatment soon enough. Maybe then she'll realize that no one wants her, and just die.”

I couldn't believe it. Someone truly and genuinely wished me death. It was true that the hospital bills.. Hospital bills? How did she know that my hospital bills were piled up?

No! It's not what I was thinking.

I walked in, slowly, praying that it wasn't what I was thinking. They were laughing so hard, they didn't hear the door make sounds when I entered.

There, on the bed, layed my two most trusted persons. My husband was sleeping with my younger sister, Amy. She was placed perfectly in his arms as they shared laughter. They still didn't know I was in the same room since the bed was directly adjacent to where I stood.

“I'm so tired of waiting.” She argued, squeezing her face. “I can't wait any longer.

Waiting for my death? I wondered. She was the same person that had come to see me at the hospital. She was the one that stood by me, she was the one that hugged me, she was there for me when others abandoned me.

Maybe she was forced by Alpha Lucas, after all he was a manipulator.

“You know I love you.”

“I loved you even before you got married to Karla. It was heartbreaking that you chose her over me. I couldn't understand why you did that, but now I do.”

“Of course, the money.”

I couldn't bear watching it again. As much as I didn't want to believe that I could see my husband and only sister in bed, it was right there in my presence.
