Worshipped By The Alphas

7

Daciana's pov.

“Took you long enough,” Eden said to me with gritted teeth, as I got to his side.

“Sorry, I lost track of time while in the bathroom,” I said under my breath, very aware of the fact that we were being watched by everyone in the conference hall.

“Or you were making a w***e of yourself with one of your conquests in the bathroom, or where you claimed to be,” Eden said, raising his voice a tad bit, causing all attention to move fully on them.

“I had to get the wound the heel caused all cleaned up and got a new pair of shoes.” She explained, lifting her long gown to show evidence of her claim.

“Oh, he even helped get you cleaned up after f*****g you in the bathroom!” Eden growled out, fully gaining the attention of everyone in the room.

The ladies watching the show with glee, as a distraction so juicy, had emerged from the so boring conference meeting already, while the men watched with keen interest, to see what would become of it, no one stepping in to intervene.

“You even got so carried away in the kiss, you got your lipstick smeared!” Eden snarled out, as he wiped off a smeared lipstick that I had skipped while wiping my face in the bathroom.

“No, no. It's not what you think Eden.” I said, with fear deeply laced in my voice, as I tried defending myself.

“I tried washing my face in the bathroom, I must have smeared it by mistake.” I defended, moving back a bit, as he closed in slowly on me, totally forgetting the pain on my feet as I moved back.

He grabbed my wrist and yanked me forward, then landed a forceful slap on my face.

“w***e!” He yelled out, as I fell back on the floor, holding onto my face which had the angry red imprints of his fingers on my face, while tears fell freely from my face.

The women in the audience burst into hysterical shrieks, as though they cared about my well-being.

Meanwhile, I could see the delight in their eyes, especially that of my adopted sister, on seeing my humiliation.

I wanted to hide behind my hands, but he held me firmly in place, and then pulled me towards him again, as he slapped me for the second time.

“Who is he!” Eden growled out, as he held me up by my neck, while I struggled to breathe, using both my hands to try to pull off his large hand from my neck he had it wrapped in.

“Please… Eden… you’re hurting me,” I gasped out, struggling to free myself from his tight grip, “Let go. Please.” I pleaded with him as my heart raced a mile a minute with fear.

My eyes darted around the table, as I scanned for an ally.

My eyes met those of the cold Lycan king, Arnou, who stood from his seat at the end of the table and walked towards us.

A flicker of hope swelled in me, as I believed he moved closer to save me from Eden’s clutches.

“This drama is unnecessary, don't you think, Alpha Eden.” Alpha Arnou said in an extremely disinterested voice, as though he'd rather be anywhere than here.

“Some of us have more important things to attend to, rather than witnessing your family brawl. Do not waste our time.” Alpha Arnou said in an authoritative voice.

So much for me hoping he came to save me. Either way, he still did save me indirectly.

Eden suddenly shoved me down onto the hard floor, knocking my back against a chair.

I winced at the pain as I lay there gasping for air, trying to gain my breathing back under the onslaught that was my husband.

I looked over at Arnou, trying to plead with my eyes. Arnou looked at me like he wanted nothing to do with this situation.

“You wouldn't want to save this w***e, if you know all the atrocities she has done my Alpha,” Eden said with labored breaths.

“It’s not what you think.” I choked out, trying to explain further but it seemed like it was going to be futile.

“Then please enlighten us!” Eden yelled out. “Do tell. Enlighten me.”

I tried sitting up, and I stared at the man who I had known as my husband, who looked more like a beast before me, as he shot deathly glares at me.

His eyes bore holes through my body as if to drill right through my brain and make it spill out onto the floor. My skin crawled as if ants were crawling through the pores of my body. I felt like screaming but didn't dare let that happen.

“You're just a worthless slut, who has her legs wide open to any man who cares to look your way,” Eden said with malice deeply laced in his voice, as he stared at me in disgust.

“I have never slept with any man, asides from you!” I managed to yell out, defending myself. “You and my sister,” I raised an accusing finger towards Nikini who seemed to be enjoying the show with a wide smile playing on her lips. “are the ones who are- Ouch!” I yelled out in pain, as his hand came across my face yet again, shutting me up.

I could taste the metallic taste of blood on my tongue, as the slap made my teeth graze painfully on my tongue, drawing blood.

Nikini glared up at me with venomous eyes filled with hate.

“And why should we believe your lies, slut?” Eden said with a frantic shake of his head.

“And to top it all, you did not just sleep with those men alone.” Eden began, staring back at the whole crowd, who obviously was enjoying the drama. The only thing missing were bags of popcorns while they got themselves a good show.

“You got to abort the pregnancies you had for them all!” Eden said in a rage, looking over at me in disgust.

“What!” I screamed out, trying to sound offended as I sat up on the floor, but it seemed pointless when the entire audience were all on his side, and anything from me seemed pointless.

“That is why you have brought forth no child in this sham called marriage. And I am tired and over with this.” Eden yelled out.

“So.” He started, turning back to face me.

“I, Alpha Eden, from this day, reject you, from being my mate and Luna!”

I stared at him bewildered, begging the ground to open up and swallow me up

that moment.
