Anniversary
Eluan's pov
It is unbelievable that he overlooked our anniversary.
It is been three years since my mate Nadia, the Alpha of the blood diamond pack, and I exchanged vows and went down the aisle.
Despite the fact that we were married and partners, we slept in different rooms, so I had sprung out of my room to meet him at his door.
Good morning, Grey. How was your sleep? I said hello to him.
He gave a reluctant response, added that he would remain out a little later, and then slammed the door in my face.
My legs are stuck to the floor as I watch him slam the door, and all that is going through my head is, did he really forget?
I had acquired some lovely pyjamas as a wedding gift, but I was never too embarrassed to wear them, so today I was ready for him.
Perhaps if he saw me like this, he would desire me just as much as I did.
It pains me that the only occasion he has ever desired to go out with me was when it was required, aside from the fact that tomorrow was our pack's annual gala and I had to accompany him as his Luna.
He had turned completely cold towards me as soon as I was married, acting as though we were just strangers who had been coerced into an arranged union.
After three years, it felt like things were growing worse every day.
But I really wanted our relationship to work because I love him so much.
Now, when this pinkish, smooth, translucent cloth slid over my underwear, my skin shivered and I shifted on my bed, feeling the chilly night breeze caress my cheeks, turning them as red as roses.
If he stayed any longer, I was going to put on my robe and go to bed since my eyes kept drifting to the wall clock and the anxiety group that was pressing against my neck like steel fingers, making it difficult for me to breathe at all.
For a stupid moment, I briefly entertained the idea that perhaps he was purchasing me a really nice anniversary present.
Abruptly, I hear his voice emerging from the chasm where my heart sprang with happiness.
I panicked and bolted, opening the door as soon as I reached it.
My mouth dropped open at what I saw right away, and for a few stupid seconds I just gaped in shock.
My sister's shrieking laugh, as loud and satisfying as nails on a chalkboard, snapped me out of my disbelief.
With her hand on my husband's shoulder, supporting him, she murmured, "Oh, Eluan, I did not realise that you were here," as though she had exchanged vows with him rather than me.
I was so excited that I had not even bothered to cover up before running out, but then I noticed that he was glaring at me and that the anger in his face seemed to be conflicted with annoyance and disgust. I wrapped my arms around my body, but it did not really hide anything, especially not shame.
He appeared as like he was going to pass out, and I wanted to dig a hole and bury him there!
"What are you wearing?" I bit my lower lip, certain that nothing could possibly make this situation any more awkward. However, my sister Sparsit approached and attempted to remove my hands.
"Eddy." She addressed him by the moniker she had given him.
She clearly wore this kind of attire for you! Come on, Sis, prove yourself to him!
I shoved her aside because I was so upset with her behaviour. Almost instantly, one of my friends came forward to take her by the waist, and he gave me another evil look.
He was too disgusted to even try to hide it.
"I hope you do not wear something like this tomorrow and end up embarrassing me."
I was sobbing so hard that I could not even dare look at him right now without crying, and then he walked by me holding my sister.
I mustered the bravery to ask them what they intended to do.
Sparsit turned to face my husband, a smile that nearly slipped through her lips as she chuckled.
"So, Eddie, will not you tell her what we are going to do?
With a grunt, he spoke without even turning around.
"Please do not interrupt us as we are going to be reviewing the security measures for tomorrow's yearly," From the way they were walking, it appeared that they were still going towards his study. Hastily, I made my way back to my room to avoid any more people passing by and noticing that I was wearing only my pants.
I fell into tears and let out cries that shook my whole body as soon as I closed the door behind me.
When I was at last able to get up, I went to my closet and changed into my go-to baggy pyjamas, which covered my entire body like a sack.
It was completely nonsensical.w
Why was he even talking to my sister about that kind of thing?
When most of the arrangements had already been completed, why did she need to accompany him in secret to his study? What security knowledge did she possess?
Fearful ideas occasionally cross my head, but I quickly push them to the back of my mind.
Nadia would never harm me in that manner.l
He mentioned that they were just having a conversation.
If they were going beyond what they were doing, would I be too shocked? Since I was actually the adoptive daughter of the moon crystal pack's leader, my sister never truly gave a damn about how I felt.
My dear sister would abuse me every day and make sure that I ended every night with tears on my pillow, all the while reminding me that I did not belong in their family and maybe not even in the pack. Saying that I detested her with all of my being would be a vast understatement.
I simply wish she would not associate with my spouse now.
