Falling for the Lycan King

chapter 3

Lizzy

It was my fault, anyway for waking up late like this. I didn't want him to wait for me and then rushed to get ready. I looked through my wardrobe not like I had so much, but the only suitable thing that I could wear for the occasion was a green worn out that I had already patched in some places because of how long I had worn it.

There was nothing as embarrassing as having a husband who would openly buy designer dresses for my sister while I practically wore rags however, I couldn't miss this occasion and I knew that Liam would practically bury me alive if I said that I didn't come because there was nothing suitable for me to wear so I just did my little makeup and put on the dress.

I gazed longingly at the mirror.

Was I really as ugly as he said? I was far from the person I once was. My cheeks were sunken, my eyes looked almost dead…

What did I have to do for him to look at me the way he looked at my sister, to desire me as much as you desired her even more?

Suddenly, I laughed silently at myself, I couldn't even get him to stay in the same space as me and talk less. of him actually liking me. He had been treating me like this ever since we got married. What would change it?

I soon realized that I had allowed myself to dream for a little too long and had been lost in my thoughts when I was already late for the gala.

But by the time I stepped out my husband was already gone. I didn't even know why I was surprised of course he was gone. I knew that somebody had to go and attend to the guest but it still hurt.

But what hurts even more was that the moment I stepped into the gallery nobody even acted as if I existed.

It was almost as if I was less significant than the glasses of wine that were being held by the waiters that were moving around.

I spotted my husband and saw him talking to the other Alphas. He was delicately holding a glass of wine in one hand and gesturing with the other a smile on his face and the suit that he was wearing fitted him so much.

He was handsome.

Ever since we were just kids, I always thought that he was the most handsome man whenever he was in any room, just looking at him was a good sight for sore eyes, especially whenever he smiled.

I just wish that he would smile at me the way he smiled at strangers and guests that he probably wouldn't see for several more months until another occasion called for it.

Seeing him like that told me that I wasn't supposed to be sulking around, I was still Luna and I needed to act like it so I found a group and decided to interact with them.

The moment I joined in the conversation with three other women that were Luna's they all looked at me as if they had been shocked that I was capable of speaking or something like that because all of them were immediately rendered speechless.

Then finally the one that was in the middle spoke.

"Did you order any drinks because I didn't…"

It was then that I realized that they had confused me for a waitress and of course why wouldn't they even though I was wearing an expensive looking gown they could obviously see the patches on it that totally degraded it and made it look like a rag.

"Actually, I came to greet you as the owner of the Blood diamond pack…"

To say that all of their jaws instantly fell to the floor was a huge understatement.

"But honestly we thought that she was Luna…" one of the ladies said pointing in the direction that my eyes followed. At the moment my eyes landed on the imposter the orbs almost turned red in their sockets and my blood immediately began to simmer as well.

"I believe that you are a little confused that is not the Luna you see she is my sister,"

I explained, smiling through gritted teeth.

"Well, you'll have to forgive our confusion. After all she walked in here with the Alpha, and she's just well better dressed than you…so it's only natural that we thought that she was the Luna."

I couldn't believe that my sister had been posing as me, and then he had even walked in with her?

There was only so much shame that a woman could take and I excused myself saying that I wanted to talk with my husband.

But before I could even see him, somebody stood in my path and when I looked up it was my sister.

“I don't want to talk to you right now," I said to her but she wasn't even listening to me as she was busy laughing her butt off.

"Oh my gosh what are you wearing? So rustic, you look like a slave!"

“Shut up” My fingers curled into fists. "You can mock me as much as you want but that doesn't change the fact that I am still the Luna, no matter how beautiful you are,"

Those words really hit her and she retaliated by saying that if it wasn't for her parents adopting me I would have probably died in a ditch.

"I wouldn't!" I hissed at her and then suddenly I saw her hand raised to slap me and I blocked it grabbing her wrist and because I have the worst luck ever this was the very moment that Liam looked at the both of us and I saw how worried he looked…for my sister.

I backed away from her and then she immediately fell into his arms when he came. He looked at me, his eyes burning like a freshly lit fire.

"Honey, I'm so happy you came, she was telling me that I had to change or she was going to strip me naked in front of everyone!"

Without even asking for my side of the story my husband immediately declared in his heart that my sister must definitely be telling the truth and began to scold me in front of everyone like I was some foolish petulant child.

He didn't even care that important guest were looking at us, the only thing that he cared about was that wicked sister of mine and as he was yelling at me like a lunatic, my sister was smiling from ear-to-ear and then I pointed my finger at her starving is like a sword telling him that she was smiling and totally fine.

But then he probably thought I wanted to hit her and shoved me away, but instead of my body colliding with the floor, somebody called me and I heard somebody else say.

"It's Him"
