Mia:
In the darkness of the night, I walked aimlessly in the cold.
Lately, my emotions had been all over the place and I could hardly control it.
Lukas was right. Even if I knew about the ball, there was nothing I could do.
Somehow, I ended up on a silent road with not a soul present. I tugged my hands under my arms, grinding my teeth as I shivered from the cold.
I mentally scolded myself for leaving the pack house without thinking. Now I didn't even know the way back.
My back had begun to hurt from walking such a long distance.
A car drove down the road, its headlights almost blinding me.
The car pulled up beside me and the driver wound down the window.
I squinted my eyes to see who was in there.
It was the pretty doctor from the hospital.
“What is our Luna doing out here by this time? You look like you need help. Get in”
She was putting on a really tight and skimpy dress that exposed a small part of her cleavage. Her lips were blood red and she looked like she was coming from a night club.
She looked nothing like the doctor that I had seen at the hospital.
“You shouldn't be out here in the cold. It's detrimental to you and your baby. What the f**k is that prick, Lukas doing letting you come out here alone?”
I subconsciously covered my belly, not wanting my baby to hear those curse words.
“Actually, I left”
“You ran away”
I nodded, looking down.
“I understand. Living with Lukas can be quite stifling. I'm surprised someone like you ended up with Lukas”
“What do you mean someone like me?”
“You're like the little, docile lamb and he's the big bad wolf, literally”
I chuckled, loosening up a bit. “You sound like you know him well”
“We all grew up together. Me, Lukas and Michael”
“Michael? The kind Beta?”
“Kind?” She scoffed. “I see he has you fooled”
She stopped in front of the pack house and stretched her hand out to me.
“Your phone”
I handed it to her and watched her save her number.
“Next time, don't run away and end up getting hurt. If Lukas ever makes you feel like s**t, just give me a call”
“Okay” I alighted from the car.
She waited till I was in before driving off.
I turned to see several pairs of worried eyes staring back at me.
“Where did you go? Lukas almost went berserk looking for you” Michael asked.
“Well, I…..”
I peered at Lukas who looked extremely calm. It made me wonder what was going on in his head.
Was he angry?
“Escort the Luna back to her room” Lukas ordered one of the maids before leaving in the direction of his study.
“Is he angry?” I whispered to Michael.
He offered a reassuring smile.
I tossed and turned in bed unable to get Lukas' face out of my mind.
I groaned and sat up. No matter how much I tried, I could not sleep.
Taking a walk around the pack house, I ended up in front of Lukas' study. His door was ajar. The room was dark except from the faint lights emanating from his laptop,
His hands worked deftly on the keyboard. The first few buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned adding to his mesmerizing looks. I was so lost in his charms that I didn't realize he was staring back at me.
He just caught me openly gawking!
Flustered, my face turned red and I hiccupped.
He silently shut his laptop and stood up.
“What do you want?” he asked, tearing his gaze away from mine.
“I could not sleep so I decided to walk around for a bit” I paused when I saw him put on his jacket. Was he leaving again?
“I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left the way I did” I apologized, full of remorse. However, all I got was a faint ”hm”.
He shut the door behind him.
“You're leaving again?”
He ignored me and kept on walking.
“Is this because of that woman?” I desperately yelled at him.
He finally stopped. His gaze was so dangerously cold that it sent chills running down my spine.
“What woman?”
“Your mistress, Rina. Isn't that her name? We have been married for months but not once have we slept on the same bed. You even spent the night at her place on our wedding night. Do you detest me that much? Then why didn't you just reject me? Why do I……..” My voice trailed off as I swallowed the lumps that were beginning to form in my throat, fighting back tears.”Why do I have to go through hell again?” I thought marriage would save me, however I was wrong. I sniffled.
“Fine. You can be with her all you want. I won't bug you anymore” I turned to leave and had only walked two steps when a big, warm body covered me from behind, wrapping his hands around my shoulders, his manly scent invading my nostrils.
He pulled me gently and slowly turned me around to face him, our eyes locking.
He captured my lips in a deep, heated kiss, carefully avoiding my bulging belly.
He cupped my face, his thumb brushing over my skin. I pulled back slightly to catch my breath.
He placed his forehead on mine before planting a kiss on it.
“Go and get some rest. I'll join you soon”
I didn't know what to make of his actions. He neither accepted nor refuted my claim about Ri
na being his mistress which left a sour taste in my mouth.
However, I nodded and went back to the bedroom.
