Pregnant With His Twins, Cast Away For His Lover

Chapter 5

Later that evening, Zane is driving back from the mall with Courtney beside him when his phone chimes once and he ignores it, glancing at Courtney with a smile, feeling glad that he finally found her.

For thirteen years he had been searching for the girl who saved him from the rogues in the woods, not knowing that the whole time she lived under his nose and had been yearning for his attention but he constantly ignored her.

Yesterday, by a stroke of luck, he finally found out she was the girl in the woods and in three days, after he officially rejects Astrid to sever the mate bond between them, he will marry her and make her his forever.

His phone suddenly starts blasting with a flurry of notifications just as Courtney yelps at something on her phone, clasping her hand against her mouth as she looks at Zane sharply.

“What is it?” Zane asks, taking his legs off the throttle.

“You may want to park the car first,” Courtney says in a cautious tone and Zane’s brow furrows, pulling the car to the side of the road.

The chimes from his phone continue, becoming even more rapid and he mutters a curse word, picking up his phone just as Courtney holds up the screen of her phone to his face.

Zane’s brow immediately furrows in anger at what he sees, a deep growl tears from his throat and the rage of his wolf collides with his anger, realising why his phone has been blasting with notifications.

How dare she? It has barely been a few hours since they got divorced and she is already in bed with another man.

His eyes turn bloodshot as he clenches his phone in his fist, seeing the picture of a naked Astrid in bed with an unknown man whose face is blurred out in the picture.

“I’ll f*****g kill her,” he growls, dropping his phone and clenching the steering wheel as he restarts the car and drives straight back to the packhouse.

“This is such a disgrace,” Courtney says, a mischievous look in her eyes, “you may have divorced her but until the rejection, she is officially still your Luna, this is a slap on your face. I wonder how long she has had this lover.”

The words that spill out of Courtney’s lips fill Zane with more rage. Has she always been cheating on him? Has she always had another man f*****g her?

No wonder she never complains that he only comes to her once in a while. She is his Luna, his f*****g Luna and she let another man have a taste of what he is?

He boils in rage as his fist clenched tighter around the steering wheel, flattening his foot on the throttle.

Astrid feels a throbbing pain in her head as she opens her eyes, massaging her temple. She jerks back on the bed, her heart pounding hard at the strange room she finds herself in.

Where is she? What is she doing here? The last thing she remembers was being offered a bottle of water from the nice lady and then…..

And then what? She cannot remember anything after that. Did the nice lady bring her here? Why is she naked? What is this pain tearing at her head?

She winces from the pain, slowly rolling out of the bed when the door to the room flies open and her heart jumps in fear, pounding erratically at the sight of a menacing looking Zane, looking like he is ready to murder someone.

She grabs the sheets off the bed to cover herself as two other pack warriors step in behind Zane.

“Alpha,” she says, fear and confusion striking her heart at the cold and deadly look in Zane’s eyes.

“Goddess curse your tongue, you slut,” Zane growls at her, closing the distance between them.

A slut? Zane may not love her and he may not be overly affectionate towards her but he is kind to her and has never called her names.

Why is he so angry? What has she done this time?

“Alpha, why are you calling me names? Can you ask your men to step out so I can get dressed?” She says cautiously, backing away from him.

“Why?” Zane grabs the sheet she is covering herself with, “maybe I should let them have you since that is what you do behind me, sleep with other men.”

Shock fills Astrid’s eyes and pain grips her heart as she looks straight into Zane’s cold and murderous eyes with tears coating her eyes.

What is he talking about?

Only one man has ever touched her in her life and that man is him.

“I– I don’t understand, what are you talking about?” Astrid mutters, her heart thudding erratically as Zane’s grip on the sheet wrapped around her tightens.

“Don’t you f*****g act clueless with me, woman,” Zane snarls at her. “Where is he?”

“Where is who? What are you talking about? What is going on?” Astrid questions frantically, a trepidatious feeling seizing her heart and sinking it into her gut.

“I don’t have time for your stupid games,” Zane replies, dipping his hands into his pocket and taking out his phone, shoving it in her face. “Does this jog your memory?”

Astrid’s eyes fly wide open, her heart stops beating for a second as she shifts her gaze from the phone to Zane’s callous eyes and back to the phone in quick succession, utterly confused.

Who is that man? Why is she naked in bed with him?

Realisation slowly hits her and she slowly glances around the room, realising it is the same room in the picture but before she can even utter a word in her defence, Zane yanks the sheet off her, exposing her nakedness to him and his warriors.

“Zane no, please… I don’t know that man, I have been set up,” Astrid cries out, crouching to cover her naked body, fear gripping her heart.

Zane scoffs coldly. “You have disgraced me and my pack and you will be punished accordingly,” he turns back to his warriors. “Take her, she must walk the walk of shame.”
