Pregnant With His Twins, Cast Away For His Lover

“Have you instructed all the omegas to leave early?” Astrid asks Belle, placing a tray of neatly diced watermelons on the dining table, her brow covered in sweat. “You really shouldn’t have to do all the preparation yourself,” Belle replies, “You are the Luna but sometimes I think you forget.” “I’ve been Luna for three years, old woman, how can I forget?” Astrid smiles at Belle, walking back towards the kitchen. Belle looks at Astrid and smiles bitterly as Astrid disappears into the kitchen, a sombre look covering her eyes. Astrid may be the Luna but she is like a daughter to Belle who is the head omega. Astrid’s father died before she was born and her mother died during childbirth, leaving Belle to become responsible for her as Astrid’s mother was an omega. “Forgive me Astrid but you’ve had this same routine for three years whenever it’s your anniversary but the Alpha never shows up, Why do you still do it?” Belle asks in a sullen and concerned tone as Astrid walks back into the dinning area with another tray of sweet smelling cupcakes. The calm smile on Astrid’s face morphs into a sombre gaze and she halts, staring down at the tray in her hand blankly like Belle’s question snapped her out of her fantasy. The Alpha of the Moonstone pack, Alpha Zane Luther is her fated mate and husband but he is not a man affected by the whims of petty stuff like romance, dates or silly affection, he is a headstrong Alpha with only one thing driving him, duty. Or that is the excuse Astrid likes to give to others for him; she knows the real reason he is not so affectionate towards her. “This year will be different, I told him ahead of time that I would love to have dinner with him tonight,” Astrid replies, plastering a fake smile on her lips, placing the tray down. Belle holds her hand against it, looking straight into Astrid’s emerald eyes with pity, her voice low yet rigid. “You deserve better child, you deserve better than a husband who would rather spend the cold night in his office than in the warmth of his wife’s arms in bed. You’ve been married to Zane for three years and I can count the number of times he has returned to this house at night and those nights are filled with your salacious screams and his lustful grunts, you are more than a pleasure hole to any man.” Astrid’s brow furrows at Belle, her calm emerald eyes hiding a storm of annoyance behind them and she gently takes Belle’s hands off hers and places it on the table, looking pointedly at the woman she sees like a mother “What are you saying Belle? Zane is my Alpha, my lord and master. It is I who does not deserve to be his wife. An omega like me, chosen by the goddess to be the fated mate of a strong Alpha and he did not reject me, he honoured me and made me his Luna. Truly, I am unworthy and even if the Alpha sees it fit to only enjoy the warmth of my bed once a year, I will gladly be of service to him.” Astrid replies in a calm yet curt tone, her eyes holding a stoic gaze but her heart slices with pain as she says those words because deep down, she knows Belle is right and that she truly desires more from her husband but this is her lot in life and she knows what she agreed to when they got married. “But you are not an omega Astrid…you may have been raised as one but you are–” “That’s enough,” Astrid cuts Belle off sharply, her Luna aura rolling off her midly and her tone full of authority. “I will speak of this matter no further.” Belle heaves a deep sigh and shakes her head in pity, her eyes looking sullen as she stands up and bares her neck to Astrid, not uttering another word and she leaves. Astrid stares at the array of food and dessert that she has prepared for tonight and tears well up in her eyes, her heart thudding slowly in trepidation because she knows it might all be for nothing but she has to have faith, Alpha Zane promised her that he will have dinner with her tonight, he is a man of his words. He might think it is a casual dinner, he might not even remember what day today is but Astrid has hope that tonight will change everything. She found out yesterday that she is three weeks pregnant for him and she plans to break the news to him tonight. Maybe their child can change the dynamic of their relationship, what would he even think about it? Would he want the child? They have never discussed it before and she has always been careful not to get pregnant but obviously not careful enough. Minutes bleed into hours and after sending everyone away for the night, Astrid slips into a hot figure gripping red dinner gown that salaciously displays her seductive curves with red hot lipstick to accentuate her small, pout and pretty lips. She hears the door bell ring and with a pounding heart and trembling feet, she saunters to the living room and opens the door and there he stands, tall and gallant, beautiful and strong, the desire of every single woman in the pack, her husband and her Alpha, Zane Luther. “Welcome honey,” She says with a smile that could compete with the sun for brightness but a dark shadow covers her bright smile when Zane steps into the house ignoring her greeting, a cold look on his face and a woman who Astrid knows all too well steps in behind him with a mean scowl on her face. “I guess you know Courtney,” Zane says in a nonchalant tone, gazing around his own house like a stranger before he settles his cold blue eyes on Astrid again. “Courtney and I are getting married, I’m divorcing you.”
