Saved by Alpha Bastian

Part 3

Margareth Pov

Being picked up by Beta Blake, the moment the stranger prevented Xavier from slapping me appeared in my mind. It felt like a movie scene that dramatically played on repeat. When I recalled the memory, I stroked a tiny miserably smile. It was not because I was happy to be saved by a stranger. My lips curved downwards since I felt pitiful towards myself.

My thought of Xavier never making me suffer was switched by the fact that he was willing to hurt me. Following the situation, I saw with my eyes that a stranger I barely knew intended to protect me. It was truly insane, but the bitter fact convinced me to realize who Xavier was in this two-year marriage.

As my brain was drowning with the recent shocking moment, Emma opened the connection and uttered in my mind, “No need to be sad, Margie. You have to compose yourself more. Don’t be desperate towards the useless Alpha you have married.”

“It is easier to say than do, Em,” I complained as I sighed lightly.

“You can consider my words as useless solutions. Nonetheless, at the same time, I feel that our fated mate will come soon.” Emma claimed.

I furrowed my brows and uttered, “Our fated mate?? Aren’t you insane? I’m already married to Xavier, Emma.”

“I know, Margie, but that’s possible for us. Xavier is just your chosen mate, let me remind you for your good sake.” Emma confirmed.

“Stop pulling your legs. It would be such rubbish for me if I met my fated mate. Even, had I tried to find him, he would have appeared a long time ago.” I insisted.

“Well, I have nothing to say once you have that kind of perception.” Emma gave up as she closed the mental connection with me.

Around four minutes later, I reached the castle and continued the delayed task of organizing the yearly party. Although my heart was heavy, I kept myself concentrating on each business lingering since I needed to interact with some pack members, including Beta Blake and Gamma Draco. Fortunately, they listened and obeyed every suggestion that I made even though that kind of thing must be resolved by their Alpha.

Day after day, following with each hour passed, the important day that certainly exposed my pack’s reputation arrived. With the cream long dress that showed my slim figure in the mirror, I put on some makeup for a moment. At that moment, Ashley my best friend commented, “You look stunning as always, Margie. No need to overdo the make-up.”

I stared at her reflection in the mirror and replied, “Just like what I told you last night, I need to take care of myself better due to the cheating done by Xavier. He easily thinks that he can have mistresses without rejecting me as his chosen mate.”

Ashley sighed with her intense gaze towards my back. She was the only friend with strong moral values even though she had not met her fated mate. Nonetheless, she was intolerant of some kinds of bad things, such as cheating. Then, she said, “I think you need to follow his game. Were he cheating, you would do so.”

Feeling surprised by her utterance, I closed my compact powder, tilted my head, and said, “It will not make him realize his wrongdoings. Instead, he will blame me for being a cheap whore.”

“Trust me, he could never see you in another man’s arm. Don’t you forget that Xavier is my old friend in senior high school? He easily gets jealous and possessive, especially when somebody touches or snatches his things.” Ashley confidently assured.

With the doubts running in my mind, I put on my black blazer and recited, “Let me consider it for a while. Anyway, thanks for the suggestion.”

Smiling gently, she patted my right shoulder and said, “Don’t mention it. I’m always willing to help. Don’t hesitate to lean on me, Margie.”

Subsequently, I got out of my room and walked side to side with Ashley. By the time I saw the guests on the first floor, my eyes caught Xavier joking with Selena as they sipped their drinks. Along with the resentful moment, he also introduced her to the betas and other Alphas. Ashley noticing the situation calmed me down, “Keep yourself serene. It is nonsense if you confront him in front of the guests.”

Immediately, I sighed and whispered, “I’ll try although it’s not easy.”

Just when my heels touched the floor, I greeted and smiled at the guests warmly. However, it didn’t mean that I was unruffled. My blood was still steamy whenever my eyes lay on Xavier claiming his mistress as his wife in front of the other alphas. It seriously humiliated me in the first place as the Luna of this pack. As I clenched my fists, I approached him and cleared my throat.

“Oh, hello, Margie. What takes you so long? Our guests have been waiting for you.” Xavier innocently greeted me while his left grabbed Selena’s waist. He did it as if I was not his wife. Furthermore, maybe, he never considered me as his Luna. What a shameful truth!

“Why should you wait for me when you have Selena around? Be proud of having her as your wife instead!” I sneered with a mocking smile.

Listening to my words, other guests started to put their eyes on me and Xavier. I also could hear that most of them could not believe that Xavier had a mistress since he and I always looked good in public. At that point, I saw he clenched his jaw, released his hand from Selena, and furiously said, “How dare you say those things to me! I’m your Alpha, Margie.”

I then chuckled at his utterance. He demanded me to respect him as the ruler of the pack. Nevertheless, he didn’t honor me as his Luna and wife. Furthermore, he might not notice how disappointed I was towards his behavior. In consequence, I urged, “Didn’t you realize before you humiliated me?? I’m your Luna, but you still invite her here!”

As I scolded him, I pointed Selena madly. Recognizing my action, he grabbed my hand roughly and warned, “I know you are mad at me, but I can kick you off from here whenever you humiliate Selena.”

Through the warning he mentioned, tears welled off in my eyes. Thus, I forcefully released my hand and dared, “Do it! You can also reject me tonight after the party ends!”

End of pov.
