My Mate My Dilemma

5.

Caught

The pocket of Eluan

My spouse saw me in a compromising situation with another man, and although it was not anything like that, I felt completely guilty about it.

"Please Nadia, do not get me wrong. I was about to fall, and suddenly he..."

"My wife has been behaving badly, and I apologise for it. My husband said as soon as I finished speaking, and I wondered why he was even saying sorry. I am sure she found a way to come bother you, because that is just the kind of person she is; she enjoys attention from men. I could not believe what I was hearing right now. Even though this man had treated me like garbage for the previous three years, I had remained fiercely devoted to him, and now he was portraying me before the Lycan King as some sort of attention-seeking w***e!

When I leaped out of his clutches, Eric merely stared at him, expressionless as before, and he continued speaking in his monotonous tone.

"Alpha Nadia, it seems to me that you ought to be the one to apologise."

My spouse appeared as though he wanted to find the closest hole, dig even further, and burrow himself inside.

"I apologise for what you did."

"I witnessed everyone ignoring your wife at the conference—almost as if she did not exist at all—and that is your responsibility. She is a rotan attention-seeking lady." My spouse's eyes got bigger.

I have never seen him look so shocked in his whole life. I guess he assumed the Lycan King would stand by him, and to be honest, I had the same idea.

"Take a look at her attire; as her spouse, you ought to have made sure she had access to nicer clothing.

A heel on her old shoe collapsed, almost causing her to fall."

I would have been really ashamed if I had not known that he was standing up for me at that very moment.

We had only met early today, and already he had treated me better than my husband had in the last three years, so I could not believe that he, of all people, was sticking up for me in this way.

My spouse answered, "I see, your majesty." God, even a deaf man could hear the resentment in his voice.

"You realise that leading a pack can demand a lot of a man, even though it seems like I have ignored her a little bit. Instead of making small excuses, though.." Putting a touch on what must have seemed like a weight in the wind, Eric remarked that my husband's shoulder bent right away.

"Why can not you treat her properly?"

Then, realising that he was taller than my husband, he bent over and whispered, speaking low enough for me to hear from where I was standing.

I can assure you that there is someone else who will if you don't

An individual resembling a waiter appeared out of nowhere and informed Armou that he was required inside the conference.

He sent me one more, lingering look that still revealed more emotion than anything else, and then he turned away, leaving my husband stiffly standing like a statue. When I got close enough, he abruptly raised his hand and gave me a smack that would have put someone in a coma. I approached him warily, sensing the rage that was seeping through his pores and dominating his entire existence.

In an instant, I whirled around and lost my balance.

"Nadia!" I let out a high-pitched cry, relieved that he had finally stopped sticking his tongue out at me. I was shocked that he had touched me in such a way.

He was hovering over me, and my heart was thumping with panic.

"You little w***e, you spread your legs for a man as soon as he shows you a little attention!"

With a palm on my cheek and my mouth hanging open, I looked at him, wondering if he was the one accusing me of being unfaithful when in fact he had slept with my sister on the same floor as me and had even assured her that she would sleep in MY bed!

He had the gall to remain there and accuse me of breaking our pledge even after realising that!

"I shall get up on my own," I answered, without spreading my legs for him.

I just needed a breath of fresh air because I was tired of you staring at my sister as if you were married to her and not me. He just caught me when I was about to fall again as I was coming out.

Caught in the whirlwind of accusations and embarrassment, I found myself once again in the grasp of my enraged husband, Alpha Eden. His violent words echoed through the air, accusing me of unfaithfulness and painting me as a promiscuous figure. I struggled to comprehend how he, who had betrayed our vows with my own sister, had the audacity to hurl such accusations at me.

As I stood there, his harsh slap still reverberating, I couldn't fathom the hypocrisy of his actions. He continued his tirade, demeaning me with every word. My mind raced with frustration, and I desperately wanted to break free from this suffocating cycle of mistreatment.

Despite the pain and humiliation, a newfound strength surged within me. No longer willing to endure his baseless accusations, I decided to stand up for myself. "I shall get up on my own," I declared, determined to reclaim my dignity.

As I attempted to rise, a wave of dizziness overwhelmed me, threatening to send me back to the ground. But just in time, a supportive hand reached out, steadying me. It was the Lycan King, Arnou, appearing like a guardian amidst the chaos.

He intervened with a calm authority, creating a stark contrast to Eden's irrational rage. "Alpha Nadia, let me help you," he offered, his voice carrying a sense of genuine concern. Grateful for his assistance, I accepted his support, rising from the ground with newfound composure.
