Reborn As My Ex-husband Stepmum

HEATHER "I, Alpha Raymond King of the Wild Hallow pack, reject you, Heather Nathan, as my mate and Luna," I gasp, as pain consumes my heart but I still keep my head up, refusing to show any sign of weakness. Raymond is watching me with joy in his heart, he wishes he could humiliate me more. 'She wouldn't dare to stand this, she is so much in love with me that she almost burns herself to cook for me' He thinks, a smirk appearing on his mouth. "Come in," He ordered and a silhouette appears by the door. As the figure walked in, her face became visible. "Jessica!" I mutter under my breath, I hold my chest, trying to withstand the pain. "I, Heather Nathan, former Luna of Wild Hallow Pack, accept your rejection," I said with pain. 'No Heather, don't let these tears drop, hold back as you always do, don't let them feel powerful by showing them your pain and tears' I said within me. "Huh," Raymond scoff in disbelief. He expects me to fall to the ground in tears or confront him as I usually do whenever Jessica is around. I didn't shed a tear, I remove my crown, throw it to the floor, and run out of the hall. Outside, Rain is pouring heavily with thunder and lightning. I run as fast as my legs can carry me, having nowhere to go. I stop by the middle of the road, on the bridge, and fall to the ground in tears. Why does life have to be unfair to me? I have nothing and have just lost the only thing that gives me power- my crown as Luna, now my sister is here to take that. I scream, hitting my stiff chest with my fist. My parents have always treated me differently from their other children, giving me little or the worst of things with no support, while my sister gets the best. According to the tradition of Wild Hallow pack, the Beta firstborn will be mated to the next Alpha king, so I was mated to Raymond since I was a kid and I moved to his place when I turned eighteen. I cleans my tears, stands up, and staggers in the road, my eyes swollen with tears. Just then, I hear a horn behind me, I turn back but see nothing due of the rain. Bam! A truck hit me across the bridge and I fell into the river. I feel weak, and helpless, fighting for my life in the river. I held her stomach. 'I hope I make it, if not for anything, for my unborn babies in my belly’ I say and breathe my last. *** {TWO MONTHS AGO} In the house of Alpha Raymond, a young woman is washing plates. "After washing these dishes, I will cook a delicious meal for my husband" I smiled, dipping a plate into the basin. "Heather? Heather? where is that fool ?" Madame Janet calls from the sitting room. "Heather!" She screams. "Yes, I'm coming. '' I rinsed my hands and hurried off to answer my mother-in-law's call. I have to hurry before Janet gets mad at me. While running down the stairs, my hand mistakenly hit a flower vase and it went crashing on the floor. Madame Janet hears the crashing sound and decides to check what is happening. "You are good for nothing. Why did you break that flower vase?" She yells at me. I was scared, shaking. "It was a mistake while running, I..." The next thing I receive is a hot slap from my mother-in-law. "Why were you running, you i***t, huh? Do you know how expensive that vase is? Can you afford it? " She hit me again. "I'm sorry Mum, " I apologized, my head facing the tiled floor. "Don't you dare call me mum because I will never accept you as my daughter-in-law, ever!" Janet raises her voice in irritation. "Why, but I'm married to your son, the Alpha king," I defended myself. Madame Janet burst out in laughter "You fool, wait till I kick you out of this house, nonsense." She turned to the broken vase. "Now what are you going to do about this expensive vase?" She crossed her hands, staring at me. "I'm sorry" I said, looking miserable and downcast. I had no money to buy that type of vase, so apologizing is the right thing, though sorry solves nothing. Madame Janet scoffs "Of course you can't afford it " She rolls her eyes. "Since you can't replace it, go clean the toilet, then you do the laundry" "Toilet and laundry?, but there are servants in the house, they can do that." I complained. "Are you asking me? If you can't do that, then buy another vase just like this" She charges, pointing fingers at the vase then stops because of the look on my face. "Oh right, you can't," she says, laughing. "You fool, cleaning the toilet and laundry won't be enough to fix this, you will clean for a week ". She frowned. "A week ?" I ask, my eyes full of worries. " Yes, Any problem?" "What about the maids and servants? What's their job if they can't do it? Why are they being paid?" "Listen, if you find it uncomfortable, then stop destroying things you can't afford in this house " "It wasn't deliberate!" I yell. "I don't care! And for the servants, after all, I pay them, not you. So it's not a bad idea to work to atone For your sins and don't you ever yell at me again" Madame Janet hissed and walked away. I sigh looking at the broken vase. "This is more difficult than I thought.” I take a broom from the kitchen to clean up the broken pieces, while sweeping the broken pieces, a piece cuts my index finger "Ouch" I groan in pain. A car drove into the compound and horn. "I'm coming," a deep voice says from one of the rooms. Just in, Alpha King Raymond comes into the sitting room adjusting his dress. Alpha Raymond married me because of the park tradition, Which states that the Beta's first daughter will be the mate to the Alpha's first son. with a black jacket on his dress, his black long hair is packed into a ponytail - yeah, my doings. I can not help but drool over my husband's beauty, the most handsome man in the Wild Hallow pack. I feel grateful for marrying him. A knock is heard on the door. "Mum please check,” Alpha Raymond tells his mum, going to the kitchen. Madame Janette opens the door, revealing Jessica, a wealthy young girl who is Raymond's classmate. Madame Janet smiles, seeing Jessica "Come in dear," She says, ushering her inside. "Have your seat. He will be here soon." "Thank you, Ma or should I say Mum to be" Jessica whispers to her ears and Madame Janet giggled at what she said. Yes, having the beauty queen Jessica as her daughter-in-law will be a jackpot. Jessica is pretty, rich, classy, influential and humble. She hates the fact that her son has to marry Jessica's elder sister, me because of some stupid tradition. Most people did not know that I and Jessica are sisters. We are the complete opposite of each other. Jessica is a beauty queen, slim with curves and long legs, weighing 43 kg while I'm chubby weighing 78 kg. Jessica is the last born of the Nathan family brought up by a silver spoon. She is rich, having lots of properties under her while I, the eldest daughter, have nothing. I am so poor that I depend on my in-laws. The day they don't give me anything, I will be with nothing. Their parents treat Jessica with care but fat me receives no parental love from them. Raymond came out from the kitchen. "Mum, no food?" He asks, frowning. Raymond has a sweet voice that can melt anyone's heart. Madame Janet glared at me "Hey, why didn't you cook? " She asked me. "I was cooking when you called?" I answered. "Yet you broke a vase?" Madame Janet placed her hand on her head. "Can't you get things right for once!" She yells and turns to her son. "What will he eat? "She raises her voice but controls herself because of Jessica. "I'm sorry" I apologized. "As usual," Madame Janet scoff. Alpha Raymond sighs "I'm so hungry and because of you I won't be eating before leaving," He says sadly in his light melodious voice. That hit me hard. My husband will starve at school because of my foolishness. "I'm sorry dear " I apologized, holding his hands. Raymond shifts away from me. "I don't want you staining me or me smelling weirdly in school. " "Oh," My face dropped, and I kept my distance. "I will be going," Raymond says as he grabs his bag from the sofa. "Raymond, why don't we go to a restaurant to get you something to eat? What do you say?" Jessica suggests as she stands up. "That won't be necessary, I will bring you...'' I say but is interrupted by Raymond. "That will be great Jessy, I'm starving. I could eat an elephant", He jokes. "You two have a good time," Madame Janet says, smiling. "Okay mum, Heather bye "Raymond waves his hands. "Help him take his bag to the car, " Madame Janet shouts at me. I sluggishly collect the bag but Jessica takes it from me. "Don't worry," Jessica says, she stands by the door to leave but turns back like she forgot something. "Before I forget, this is for you," She gave Madame Janet a wrap box. "A gift for me? You shouldn't have, but thank you” Madame Janet smiles, opening the gift. "A golden butterfly necklace? This is beautiful. Thank you " "Don't mention it, ma, We will be on our way. " They left. "That's a good woman, a typical daughter-in-law” Madame Janet smiles to herself. I am annoyed to see another woman following my husband to school. We are studying at Hillcity Universal School. "Have you ever given me a gift? Just look at this golden necklace," Madame Janet says to me. She leaves her admiring her gift. I quickly finished my chores and took my bath so she could join them in school. Hillcity universal school Immediately their car stops at the school gate, students gather to admire them. "There comes the king and queen of Hillcity Universal School," A student says. Alpha Raymond gets down first with Jessica after him. With his bag hanging at his back, they catwalked into the school. The students pave the way as they walk in, Jessica puts on a crop top on jeans, revealing her skinny and tiny waist. Girls are jealous and wish they had Jessica waist while boys want to have Jessica the hottest girl in school. They get to their classroom and sit down beside each other. Jessica applied more lipstick as the food they ate earlier had cleaned the one she put from her house. As usual students were around them. "Queen Jessica, you look so pretty," Angel says. "Huh, what do you mean? The queen is always pretty," Emily, another student, corrects Angel. "Please tell us your secret, which product do you use? What about this perfect waist? What are you using?" They plead. Jessica smiles, she is enjoying the attention and praise, she brings out a perfume from her bag and sprays it. "Omg! Do you use this brand? Everyone comes and see" Emily calls everyone's attention and soon, people rush in taking pictures of the perfume so they can buy theirs. The teacher walks in and coughs, causing everyone to go to their seats. The teacher writes on the board and introduces today's topic. He was halfway through his lecture when I walked in. All eyes are on me immediately I enter the class, there are hisses and murmurs. "Look at her, eww!" Angel whispers into Emily's ear. I am dressed in a big floral gown with a sweater on it. "You, why are you coming by this time!" The teacher yells at me, Pointing his marker at me. "I'm sorry" I apologized, my face looking at the floor. "Sorry?, do you realize you just distracted the class, and if the class was to have a distraction it's not someone like you," he says and the whole class burst into laughter. "Now, go to your seat" He orders. "Thank you, sir" I slightly bowed my head in appreciation, then I went to my seat. The chair was too close to the desk and with my weight, I could not sit on it. I had to beg the person behind me to shift his chair so there would be enough space for me to sit. Thankfully, the person did. There was enough space now, as I wanted to sit, Emily pulled back my chair, causing me to fall on the ground. The students laughed, the food I packed was on the floor, some poured onto my books and dress. "Can't you be careful !" The teacher shouted at me. "I'm …I'm sorry sir," I said with tears, As I was about to stand up, I lost balance and fell again. This time the laughter was louder. I picked the pickable food particles and dusted my dress. I feel an intense pain while I get up, I hold my back and look at the class laughing at me. “She is such a slug,” I heard Angel said, pointing fingers at me. “And a pig, eww look at those big legs of hers, it reminds me of something” Emily jested. “What?” Angel asked with keen interest. “The orange tree in the school garden,” Emily said amidst laughter. “Or like the pillar in the school cafeteria, her leg is twenty times bigger than mine- gross” Angel added. "Stop!" A voice said and everyone became quiet. He slammed his hand hard on the desk to show how angry he is. Then he stands up and…
