Chapter 1
Jacqueline's POV
I walked into the pack house; I just got back from the pack doctor's house. With the news I got, I was happy and completely oblivious to what was going on. The beta and his mate were looking at me in shock, guilt and pity. Ok what the hell? "Jacqueline, what are you doing home so early?" Rachel, the beta female asked.
"Well one, I live here. Two, I have some news for Alexander." I said. What is up with them? I didn't have time to worry about that right now. I have news to tell Alexander. Then we have to decide when to tell the pack. "By the way, where is he?"
"Um...he had an uh...um...an alpha meeting." She stuttered. That's not like her. She is normally always calm and collected, now she is just plain nervous.
"Rachel, why are you so nervous? It's like you're hiding something from me." I said. It was really out of character for her, and annoying to me.
"I can't say." She says looking guilty. I look to her and her mate, Bill, to see him looking the same way.
"Ok. Well, when you want to tell me you know where to find me. Anyways, when Alexander gets here, tell him I need to speak to him. I'll be in our room." I said as I walked away.
I walked upstairs towards our room. Our room was on the second floor, it was one of 2 rooms on the second floor. The other room was the beta's rooms. Once I am standing outside our room, I hear moaning. WTH??? Who is in our room? I listen closer, I know the woman's voice, I also know the man's voice. What the hell are Alexander and Monica doing in our room? And why are they moaning? I then open our door to see...MY mate in bed with my 'best friend'?
"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE?" I shout letting my alpha and Luna tone out. Alexander looks up guilty. And guess what Monica is doing... Come on guess... Wanna know?? She's fucking smirking at me! This bitch has some nerve, I thought to myself. My wolf just growled. 'I told you'. My wolf said. 'Told me what?' I asked. 'You'll find out soon enough.' She replied.
"Baby, it's not what you think! I slipped!" Alexander said. Really, that's the best he can come up with? He slipped? Ha, it must have been a hell of a fall. And they just happened to be naked when he 'slipped'? I doubt that.
"Cut the bullshit. You slipped? While naked? And what her vagina miraculously caught you? Did it cushion your fall too? Do I look like an idiot? How long has this been going on?" I asked. I was seeing red, I was so mad. But I didn't want to lash out, yet. I was trying to stay calm and collected so I could hear everything they said. Like my wolf was. 'Why are you so calm?' I asked my wolf. 'Because, I feel nothing for him. Well, maybe for his wolf, but his wolf is a part of him and I can't forgive them. I'll tell you why after everything is over.' She said. Then she turned around and told me, 'Think happy thoughts to calm down so you don't fight.' The only happy thought I could think about was what the doctor told me not even 30 minutes ago.
"It's not bullshit. No you don't look like an idiot, well to be honest, you kind of do, but that's beside the point. And it's been going on since the day I found out you were my mate." He said.
"Two years? Two fucking years? This is why you wouldn't mark me? Why Alexander? Why did you do it?" I asked. Now I was pissed. He has been cheating on me for 2 years? Yet, he still had the audacity to sleep with me after sleeping with that whore?
"Yes. Two years. And yes, this is why I wouldn't mark you. You see, I love you but I'm not in love with you. My wolf is in love with you. Other than that, I feel nothing for you. And, besides, I did it for the thrill. What thrill? The thrill of not being caught. And because I'm in love with her." He said. She looked kind of smug at me. Well, he admitted that part, too bad he couldn't tell me that 2 years ago. I mean really? Boy played me like a fool.
"Is there anything else you want to tell me?" I snarl. He better think carefully before he speaks. I am ready to kill them both. 'You can't do that. Remember what the doctor said?' My wolf said. Yeah, yeah, the doctor just notified me of some surprising news, so I can't fight. Well there goes that thought. But I can make them regret ever doing this.
"She's pregnant." He said. He then started smiling. He's happy that this whore is pregnant. I wonder if it's his or someone else's.
"Congratufuckinglations!" I said sarcastically. What else was I supposed to say? It's not like he would believe me if I told him what I know about Monica. But, he will find out on his own, one day. Hopefully she doesn't ruin this pack. "Is it yours or someone else's?"
"It's his, you're just jealous because he loves me and not you." Monica, aka the whore said. She really thinks I'm jealous? I'm not jealous, I'm hurt but not jealous. He betrayed me, if he didn't want to be with me all he had to do was say so. But no, he has to cheat on me.
"I wasn't talking to you, whore. And you forget Monica, I got more shit on you than you think. If I were you, I would shut the fuck up. You used to tell me everything, especially when we first met. So I know all your secrets, even the ones you don't want anyone knowing about. Now, Alexander, is the child yours or not?" I asked, but then I couldn't bring myself to care, so instead I said, "You know what? I don't care. I wish you both the best. And thanks for my gift too. Now, I, Jacqueline Stevens, ex Luna of the Morning Star pack reject you, Alpha Alexander Hamilton. I reject all bonds and ties to you and this pack." I said.
"You can't do that! You're the Luna!" Alexander shouted at me. Looks like his wolf is fighting for control. Oh, now he worries for the pack? He is going to be the reason this pack crumbles. But, I won't be here to see it, so I don't have to worry about it. But, my consciousness was telling me, you'll always worry about this pack. That may be true, but it's out of my hands now.
"You should've thought about that before you cheated on me." I said, angrily. What am I gonna do? I know I'm going to leave, but where will I go? I could always go to dad's, but that would be too obvious, that would also be the first place Alexander looks when he finds out I'm gone. So where can I go? Oh, I got it. I'll go to the place where dad took me, my brother and mom for vacation. After figuring it all out, I looked around and Alexander, along with Monica, were gone. So, I got a suitcase and I packed some clothes and stuff I would need for my move. I packed 5 outfits, bras, panties, shoes, credit/bank cards, electronics and some money. Then I drove to the airport and caught a last minute flight to Paris.
Chapter 2
Sitting on the plane, I thought back over the past 2 years. I can't believe I was that blind. I should have been able to see the signs. Like how late at night, Alexander would just disappear from bed. How I always felt a burning in my chest, but I just put it off as heartburn. How my wolf slowly slipped away and started becoming angry with Alexander. Then there was today, when I found him cheating, my wolf didn't howl in pain or anything. Why didn't I know about it?
As I finished that thought, my wolf spoke, 'You didn't know because I tried to keep all the pain from you. I knew how devastated we would be if you found out the same time I did. So I just slowly broke my bond with him. That's why you stopped feeling the sparks between you and him.' I couldn't help but remember the last time I felt the sparks with him. It was a year ago. I just thought it was in my head. Then I remembered how happy she was when we found Alexander.
Flashback
It's my 16th birthday. Finally, the day I get to meet my mate. I was hoping it was my best friend's brother, but sadly it wasn't. My dad, Alpha Kendrick of the Night Star pack was meeting with the Morning Star alpha to sign a treaty. As soon as we got to the Morning Star pack house, my dad knocked. The door was answered by a devilishly handsome guy, about my age. At the time I wouldn't look in his eyes because I was too shy, even with being an Alpha's daughter. So I just kept my head down.
"Dad, alpha Kendrick is here." He shouted. His voice sent shivers down my spine, in a good way. But, even then, I was still too shy to look into his eyes.
"Show him to the office." The alpha yelled back.
The guy moved to the side to let my father and me in. As I was walking past him, my arm brushed his. I felt tingles spread through my whole body.
'Mate!' My wolf shouted. "Mate." I whispered.
He grabbed me and started kissing me. "You're mine." He said. My wolf and I both liked his possessiveness.
"I'm yours." I said back. My wolf and I was so happy. We were on cloud nine. We talked until my dad was done with his alpha meeting, then he asked something I never expected him to. But, at the same time, I wanted him to ask me.
"Will you move in with me? I mean, live here in this pack house with me." He said. At first I was shocked. I didn't know how to answer, but my wolf was yelling 'Yes!' in my mind. So I said what she was thinking.
"Yes, I will move in with you." I told him. The next day I was moved in with him.
End flashback.
It's funny how he kept me in the dark for 2 years. He slept with me then turned around and slept with Monica. I hope he's happy with her and their child, but what about mine? That's where I was before I got home. I had just found out I was pregnant right before I caught him cheating.
"Alexander, I'll be back in a couple of hours. I'm gonna go visit some friends." I told him, even though I hate lying to him. But I need to figure out what's wrong with me. He's been oblivious to it. Lately he's been oblivious to everything that has been going on with me.
"Ok. See you when you get back. Love you." He said then kissed my forehead.
I walked out of the house and straight to the pack doctor. She had a few patients ahead of me so I let her treat them first and then had her check me out. "Dr. Rosia, I need you to see what's wrong with me, if anything." I said.
"Ok. What are your symptoms?" She asked.
"Nausea, fatigue, eating more, stomach pains, and mood swings." I answered.
"Before anything else, I need to take some blood. And I want you to take this pregnancy test too." She said.
"Ok." I went and took the pregnancy test. While waiting for the results, she took my blood. She tested the blood while I checked the pregnancy test. Positive. OMG! I'm pregnant! How will Alexander react? Will he be happy? Mad? Surprised? Shocked? All of the above?
"Luna?" The Dr. said. She was looking at me questioningly.
"Yes." I replied.
"You are about 5 weeks pregnant." She said. Well more like squealed. She was always excited about a pack member having pups.
"Ok. Thanks. I need to go see Alexander." I said excited. I can't believe that I'm pregnant. But, seeing how there haven't been any rogue or hunter attacks, now would be the best time to be pregnant. Now hopefully there will be no attacks until after the baby is born, which should be in another 5 months. Seeing as I have alpha blood in me and he is an alpha.
End flashback
I left the pack doctor's house. I was in a happy mood. One that nothing could destroy. Well, that's what I thought until I got home and caught him cheating on me. So now that I am out of the pack, and away from my mate or rather ex-mate, how am I going to raise the pup(s) on my own? I will undoubtedly need a werewolf doctor.
The thing is, I don't know any in Paris. I can search for the closest pack, or werewolf hospital. Every country has one, so France isn't any different. That was my last thought before falling into a peaceful slumber.
Alexander's POV
I decided that Jacqueline needed some time to think, so Monica and I left the room. I came down and noticed my beta's sitting there looking heartbroken and miserable.
After 2 hours, I figured that she's had ample amount of time to calm down, now we can talk rationally. I get upstairs to see her gone. I checked for her electronics, extra money that I knew she saved and the bank cards in her dads name. They were for emergencies, and they were gone.
Where could she be? Then when I looked on her dresser I found a note, wanting to know what it said, I opened it and read it.
Alexander,You have cheated on me for 2 years. You have betrayed me and destroyed my trust. But that's ok. I will overcome this. I will become stronger. But I just wanted to let you know that I am gone.
I can't stay where I am not respected. You actually had the nerve to alpha command the beta's and whoever else knew, not to tell me you were cheating. Well, it didn't work, cause I still found out. Don't try calling me or anything, I already changed my number. Don't try looking for me either.
Be with your whore and your 'child'. Hell, the baby probably ain't even yours. But, that is not my concern. My concern is to tell you, that I loathe you. And I hope my daddy kicks your ass. Even though, I know he won't. He is too mature to do that. But I can bet he has a plan for you, once he finds out anyways. And I will be sitting back laughing my ass off. I hope you have fun watching this pack fall apart, with you ruling it, there's no doubt in my mind that it will.
So bye and I hope I never see you again. If I do, I will make sure you rue the day you met me and every time you cheated on me.
With absolutely no love at all, Jacqueline
So that's it? She's gone? I can't believe she left me. My mate. She is what keeps me sane. But she finds out I cheated, and I got my mistress pregnant. And she fucking leaves? Isn't a mate supposed to forgive and forget??
I keep thinking back to our final conversation. I admitted to everything. The cheating for 2 years. The pregnancy. And all she can say is she rejects me? That she rejects any ties to this pack? That she resigns as the Luna? And what the hell does she mean by 'Thanks for the gift'?
I need to find her. I don't care what the note says, I have got to find her. The only way to do that is a search party. So I need to call a pack meeting. *Pack meeting in 10 minutes.* I say through the pack mind link.
~At pack meeting~
"I have called this meeting so we can set up a search party to find your Luna, Jacqueline. Jacqueline left this pack. She rejected all ties to it." I say. I watch as the pack goes from looking shocked to pure outrage. This is not good. Not good at all.
"Why did she leave?" A little boy of about 5 asked. How do I answer that? Do I tell him the truth, that I cheated on her and she found out? Or, do I tell him a partial truth? I can't tell him everything I would tell the adults, so I got to tell him something suitable for a child to hear.
"Cause I made some wrong choices. And she caught me." I answer.
"Well, personally, I think you deserved it. Wait until her dad finds out. He'll declare war on you. And I say 'on you' because I reject all ties with this pack." Rachel, the beta female said.
"As do I, you commanded us not to tell her. You're a man whore and deserve the worst punishment ever. I hope that the moon goddess punishes you severely, or at least her father does. You sicken me." Bill, my beta/friend said. Well I guess he's not my beta/friend anymore. But before this happened, we used to be really close.
As soon as he said that about 20 other pack members stood up and cut their ties to the pack. They then walked out to go pack their stuff. Since they rejected any ties to the pack, they now become rogue and would be seen as a threat by the pack.
"What did you command them not to tell her?" Missy the Omega asked.
"That I was cheating on her." I reply.
"With who?" Missy asked.
"Monica." I said.
"I would have run away too. You showed her the ultimate betrayal. Well, alpha, you have lost my respect, as well as my families. We also reject any ties to this pack." She said. Then her, her mate and their 3 kids walked out.
I looked up to see the rest of the pack, well what's left of it, looking at me in disgust. Then I heard my father say, "You just doomed us. This pack is going to crumble. You are a disgrace. I disown you as my son."
Then my mother stood up and slapped me across the face. "I raised you better than this. I have never been so disappointed in you. I'm sorry but until you fix this, I also disown you as my son." She said. I have never seen her so mad. But then again, I have never messed up to this extent before either.
"I don't know if I can fix this." I said. And, honestly, I don't think I can. She absolutely despises me. I don't know if she will ever forgive me for this.
"Why?" She asked. She was angry, she was shaking so bad that she was on the verge of shifting. I know I have to tell her the truth, but if I do, she might kill me. Well, here goes nothing.
"Because I got Monica pregnant." I replied. "I didn't mean to get her pregnant and I could have sworn that I used protection every time we did anything. But, she is pregnant and she says that it's mine. I'm so sorry."
"Well, then you've gotta lie in the bed you made. I hope Monica makes you happy. Because she's all you've got left." My mother said. Then she walked away with tears rolling down her face. I know this was hurting her. She looked at Jacqueline as a daughter and I just fucked it up. I looked up at my dad, he was seething with anger. I knew I was about to get taught a lesson or a very long speech. What I didn't expect was for my dad to start throwing punches while talking to me.
"You knocked another bitch up?" Punch. "You cheated on her the whole fucking time?" Kick.
"You brought shame to your parents for a whore? A thrill?" More punches.
"You doomed the future of this pack, the pack that my family line made, for a worthless damned woman that you wanted to have a good time with?" Kick to the stomach.
"Did you ever get Jacqueline pregnant?" Punch to the jaw.
"Did you even think about your fucking mate, you stupid bastard?" That's when he started punching and kicking.
It went on for about 30 more minutes with me dodging and him punching. Then finally his anger dwindled down, so I took my chance to explain to him why I did what I did.
"Yes, dad, I got another woman pregnant. Did I cheat on her the whole time? Yes I did. I didn't mean to bring shame onto the family, nor this pack. And, yes, honestly it was a thrill not being caught. There will be an heir born, if not from Jacqueline then from Monica. I fell in love with Monica. Will Jacqueline ever have my children? Probably not. But that doesn't mean that I can't have an heir. And Monica is not a whore. She has been faithful to me." I said.
"She has? Has she really Alexander? Do you not smell another scent on her when she comes back from her 'walks'? Have you not paid attention to the way she smells? I have. I know that she's been cheating on you. When are you going to open your eyes and see that?" He sneered.
"Dad, I'm sorry, ok? I'm sorry that I messed shit up with my mate. I'm sorry that I have brought shame upon you. But, Monica is the woman I love." I said.
"Then there is no sense in looking for Jacqueline. Why bring her back so that you can humiliate her?" He asked.
"Because my wolf is still in love with her. He's going crazy because he don't know where she is. And to be honest it's driving me insane." I replied. He just shook his head in disappointment.
"Alexander, you don't know what you have until it's gone. And, in your case, it's always going to be gone. She was a great girl. Made a wonderful luna. For her, I hope the moon goddess finds her another mate, because you don't deserve to have a mate." He said sadly. Then walked out of the office.
But before the door closed I heard him tell my mom, "We should have kept one of the other boys."
Jasmine's POV (Alexander's mom)
"What do you mean other boys? I only had Alexander and his twin!" I snapped when we got to our room.
"Before I found you, I had gotten my girlfriend at the time pregnant. She had him a week before I found you. She told me that I could take him but I didn't want to put that on you seeing as you were a new Luna." Brandon explained.
"Why are you just telling me of this?" I demanded.
"Because Alexander has failed this pack. If one of the other boys were alpha of this pack, maybe this pack would have a fighting chance." He replied.
Chapter 3
Monica's POV
I sat back on the roof and secretly watched as his mom disowned him. I also watched as his dad beat him to a pulp and then finally ran out of energy.
Then I thought back over it all. His mate leaving, the pack falling apart, over 25 members leaving, his mom and dad disowning him, and finally his dad beating him up.
I couldn't help but feel satisfied.
This is what I've been working on for 2 years. See this is all part of my mate's plan. Have this pack destroyed so he can take over it.
With Jacqueline out of the picture, Alexander won't be strong enough to take him down.
Flashback
I was running through the forest. Today is my 16th birthday. I just found out my boyfriend, Alexander, who I've been dating for a year isn't my mate. I feel so heartbroken. I made it to a waterfall/pond that separates our land from the Dark Shadows pack. I heard a low growl.
Startled from my thoughts, I looked across the pond to see a huge black wolf. He shifted into his human form and jumped in the pond. Once he jumped in, he swam towards me.
"Shift." He commanded. My wolf easily submitted to his voice/command and shifted. I noticed he was naked, which bigger wolves do tend to shred their clothes if they shift in anger. So, I looked down suddenly finding the ground interesting.
"Look at me." He demanded. I looked up and met his eyes, they were a hypnotic royal blue. I ended up getting lost in them.
"Mate." He said. "What's your name? What pack are you from?" He asked.
"Monica. Morning Star pack. What about you?" I asked.
"You can call me Cai. I'm soon to be alpha of the Dark Shadows pack." He replied.
"So, I'm gonna be a Luna? Your Luna?" I asked excitedly. I always wanted to be the Luna. I am finally getting my wish.
"Yes. But before I can mark you, I need you to do something for me." He said, shocking me out of my thoughts.
"Like what?" I asked interested.
"I need you to bring down Alexander, when he becomes Alpha, of course. He should become alpha when he finds his mate. Wait... Has he found his mate yet?" He asked.
I shook my head no. "Ok. I need you to wait until he finds his mate. Then find a way to break her. Breaking her will break him. And the pack will crumble. Do whatever it takes. Then and only then can I mark you as mine." He told me.
"But that's my pack. My family lives there. The punishment for treason is death. And, you should know that going against the alpha or future Luna will be grounds for torture before death. They will drag the torture on and on if I get caught." I said.
"If you want to be my mate and the Luna of my pack, you'll do it. The Luna always does what's in the best interest of her pack." He said.
I couldn't help but wonder why he wanted me to break the pack's future Luna or make the pack crumble.
"Ok. Whatever it takes, I'll do it." I said. "But, if I get caught, you have to come save me."
"Good. You're my mate, do you think I would let anything happen to you?" He asked. I shook my head no. Then he started kissing me. It got heated pretty quickly. Before I knew it, we were doing even more heated things.
End flashback
We devised the plan to take down this pack, and now it is in motion. The pack is slowly coming apart. I wonder how many more members will leave. And, I couldn't believe that Alexander was gullible enough to believe me. What he fails to realize is almost every time we had sex, he used a condom.
So the question is, am I really pregnant? And if so, who's the father? I pulled out my phone and texted Cai.
Me: She left. About 25 pack members left too. Including the beta couple. His mom and dad disowned him. His dad beat him to a pulp and fussed him out.
Cai: Perfect. Now for the rest to crumble. Keep me updated. Before you know it you will be in my arms and marked. How's the baby?
Me: I will. And the baby is doing good. Why do you want to take over the pack?
Cai: So that I can finally go against the Night Star pack. They are the biggest and strongest pack in the world. I need to be able to beat that pack so that I can be known as the biggest and strongest pack.
Me: Ok. I will see you later. Love you.
Cai: See you later and love you too.
