Caro’s POV
I should have expected that but I felt the rage boiling in my guts topple over limit. The fact that they were so engrossed in their disgusting acts that they didn't even notice me got me angrier.
I trained my gaze on the lady's face and a name came to mind.
Eliza, the pack's most senior doctor's daughter. We went to the same high school but she had been a very popular cheerleader whom every guy wanted, so we never really spoke then.
How dare she covet my husband? How dare they discuss my death like a trivial thing. Fury burned in my guts and bittered my throat as a dangerous glint shone in my eyes.
"Brandon! You bastard!" I yelled angrily
They noticed me immediately, their faces contorted in extreme surprise and confusion. Eliza straddled him on the chair, his member half buried in her.
"What are you doing here?” He demanded angrily as he withdrew his shaft from her.
I searched their faces for a while, looking to see guilt or remorse. But their faces showed none of that. Just anger that I barged in on them.
I blinked a few times, unsure of whatever he was really asking me that question. My eyes were glistening with tears and everything looked blurry in front of me.
I opened my mouth to speak but no words were coming forth. There was a sinister smile on Eliza’s face as watched me cry.
"You? How could you!?” My voice was coming out too fast to be steady. "How could you f*****g cheat on me!?"
"Shut the f**k up!" He retorted, walking towards me
Before I could grasp a hold on what he was about to do, he had grabbed my chin, pushing me backwards so that my back slammed against the wall violently.
"If this gets out! I'll f*****g deal with you!" He gritted out. I slapped his hands off my face and pushed him. "How dare you threaten me? Two years of our marriage and our mate bond is a joke to you? You're only concerned about this getting out? Why did you agree to the marriage then, you f*****g monster!?'
He smirked sinisterly. "I married you because you had a terminal disease and I could get a massive trust fund at your death. I'm your only family you know?
I clenched my fist tightly as I felt my face go up in flames. "How could I have gotten pregnant for a monster like you!" I blurted
His facial expression darkened. "You're pregnant?"
Eliza thought it well to speak up now. "Pregnant?" She snickered. "She's only lying to save her ass. She's been barren for two years, she can't possibly be pregnant now. She's only trying to sway you. You have to kick her out!'
He c****d his head towards me again. "Yeah, I almost forgot you were barren. And even if you were really pregnant, you and the f*****g bastard can go and rot in hell. I, Brandon , reject you, Caroline as my mate and Luna!"
My heart was pumping ember hot anger through my body as I channeled my rage into my hands and smacked his hard across the face.
The slap was so harsh that the sound reverberated across the room. My head was shaking uncontrollably as bile rose to my throat and I knew I had to leave. I had to get fresh air into my system or I could do something unimaginable.
I shoved past him, wrenched the door open and ran up the stairs to the rooftop to clear my head. Once at the rooftop, the gust of fresh air helped my nausea disappear as I calmed my chest with my hands.
Suddenly, I heard footsteps behind me and before I knew what was happening, a hand fisted my hair tightly.
I looked up to find Eliza staring at me with raw disgust, “You are a lowly daughter of an omega maid. How dare you slap the alpha of your pack!? Do you think you deserve to be kept alive?"
I pushed her, tried to run away but slammed right into Brandon as he blocked my way. I sighed not ready for another drama with the both of them, I was too heartbroken for anything more right now.
I tried to push him but he grabbed me roughly then whispered down my ears. “Don't take this to mind, Carol. You have an incurable disease in your blood. You may not know now but you're going to die very soon, so I'm only helping you. If anything, you should be grateful. You have to die for me to get my hands on the trust funds."
I was starting to panic as he spoke, and I could feel it rising in my stomach and snaking its way up to my chest. My head pounded and my hands were sweating.
"What are you two doing?" I screamed. My heart was thumping against each other, I was so scared of whatever they both are trying to do.
"Don't scream. I dismissed everyone from work. Do it for me okay?"
Without warning, he pushed me off the rooftop and I was too shocked to struggle for survival or grab onto something.
The last thing I saw before consciousness snapped out of my body was the condescending and satisfied smirk on the face of my husband. And his lover.
Using my last breath, I desperately begged the moon goddess for another chance at life. A chance to correct my mistakes, but it never came as I stumbled into a bottomless pit of rural darkness.
I might have been a low omega but I know it’ll be all worth it because I can’t just die for nothing. Suddenly, a pool of water snapped me back to consciousness and I blinked repeatedly as I tried to wipe the water off my face. My clothes were drenched as I struggled to stand up.
Was I in some kind of crazy dream or was this after life in the moon goddess palace? What the hell was happening? I had definitely died and now I suddenly woke up? Was it all a nightmare--- the killing? Brandon and Eliza’s betrayal? No! It couldn't be.
I looked around me and realized that the place was familiar. It was the daytime lake, close to the pack. What was I doing here? I pinched my arms to check if this was all real. The pain shot to my head and I winced, confirming that I wasn't dreaming.
Yes, it couldn't have been a dream. My heart was still sore from the betrayal. I hastily ran back to the pack and saw a few maids doing their morning chores.
"Please, what date is it today?" I asked one of them shocked. She was still staring at me so I asked her again to let her know I was really asking.
After giving me a weird look, she answered. "3rd October, 2021."
A low gasp involuntarily tore out of my throat as my hands clamped down over my mouth. 2021? What the heck just happened?
Did I just travel back in time to two years ago?
My mouth hanging in shock with my hand on it as I turned around staring at it.
