Chapter 2 Chapter 2

The door to their bedroom was pushed open and Erika walked in.

She saw Alex sitting my the window with some papers which she assumed were the pack projects. It didn't matter to her though.

Alex looked up from the papers in his hand and tilted his head with a grin on his face.

"She forgave you?" He asked, but Erika clenched her fist and responded, "Alex, I want a divorce"

Alex's hand froze mid air as he tried to take a sip of whatever he was drinking.

Did he hear her right?

The smile on his face had disappeared without a trace.

He smirked and finally took a sip of the coffee.

"You want a divorce?" He asked as if she hadn't said it the first time.

She nodded and met his gaze, "Yes" she answered, her voice firm and resolute.

He chuckled lightly and stood up to his full height.

"So you rather chose a divorce than apologize to Seren?"

The pet names he always called Serenity was the most painful for her.

She could clearly count in her head how many times he had even addressed her - Erika, by her name.

That is, two times only.

"When did you change this much?" Alex asked as he made his way to where she stood. "You used to be very obedient. But now you can't even give a common apology. You suddenly have an ego"

Erika looked into his mocking eyes and retorted, "Alex, I'm innocent! I did nothing wrong to Sere_"

Alex used a finger to silence her.

"Keep your mouth shut. Do you have evidence to prove your innocence?"

He removed his finger from her lips to let her answer. Her answer was an unexpected one.

"My words are enough"

Alex rolled his eyes at the dumb woman.

How could she be so stupid?

"Erika, if you think that you could just do whatever you want and go scot-free, then you have to wake up"

He said and Erika looked at him in confusion.

She didn't expect the next thing that followed.

Alex dragged her by the arm roughly, out of their room and straight downstairs.

Their were maids in the living room, doing some cleaning.

Some Elders and Guards were also present in the living room when Alex dragged Erika pass them and straight outside of the pack.

Just as they appeared outside, they both ran into Gage, Alexander's Beta as he was bringing in the one and only bitch who was responsible for this whole thing.

Serenity looked very pitiful, with bandages on her head as she limped her way into the pack house.

Seeing the way Alex dragged his mate, Gage walked forward to stop him immediately.

"What's going on, man? Where are you taking your mate?"

He asked as he saw the bruise Alex had given Erika on her pale skin.

It was very evident as Erika was extremely fair.

Alex on seeing Serenity, left Erika and rushed over to her immediately.

He pulled her softly into his arms in front of everyone and this gesture made Erika's wolf, Cindy, growl in anger.

"How could he care for someone else more than his mate?!" Cindy barked in anger.

"Are you alright?" Alex asked the pitiful looking Serenity, "Come and take a sit over here" he pulled her towards the sofa in the living room and made her sit on it.

The entire pack members who were present, watched as their Alpha treated another woman better than his mate.

They couldn't blame the Alpha for his showing his affection towards Serenity.

The Luna's Actions had greatly displeased the entire pack members and they all looked at her in disdain.

"Why is the Alpha treating that woman like his mate?" Someone whisper asked, to the hearing of Erika who was close to them.

"The Luna pushed that woman down the stairs, I guess it was because she was jealous"

"Yes, the Alpha treats that woman better than his mate"

"But I've known Luna Erika to be a nice lady. Who would have thought she was this heartless and evil?"

Erika heard all their words clearly as tears fell from her eyes.

How could the pack members be this despicable?

They clearly said she wasn't someone to do such, but they believed she did it.

It hurt her that no one believed her in the pack, especially her own mate.

Alex was supposed to be the first person to ask what exactly happened and not make the decision like a coward.

"He is a coward!" Cindy agreed.

Alex looked at Serenity's pale face and touched the bandage on her head a bit.

The bitch who should have gotten a good award for her acting, winced in response and squeezed out a tear.

"It hurts, Alex" she whined and Alex rubbed her back soothingly.

He then turned and glared at Erika who stood there with her hands holding her clothes tightly.

Alex moved, he appeared before her, towering over her as he demanded, "Erika, go over there and apologize to Serenity"

Erika gritted her teeth.

"I said I would never apologize for something I didn't do"

"Stop acting stubborn and go there now!" Alex raised his voice this time, almost raising his hand as well.

Erika was such an annoying woman.

Erika raised her eyes to meet his. She dared not cower before him like a puppy.

"Alex, I did nothing wrong and I will never apologize"

Alex laughed and shook his head.

"And why is that? Why won't you apologize?"

"Because I didn't do anything to her!"

"Erika that's enough!" Alex gripped her chin and she winced at the pain his grip brought.

Gage tried to intervene, but one warning look from Alex made him froze in his steps.

"Erika, you will go over there and apologize to Serenity Or else, don't blame me for my next actions"

Cindy whimpered as their mate mistreated she and Erika.

Erika had already declared that she would never apologize for what she didn't do, so she stood her ground.

"I said, I won't apologize. Besides you gave me an option to choose from and I chose divorce over apologizing!"

Alex shook his head and brought her face closer to his.

"I'm sorry to tell you, but the conditions have changed now. You are going to apologize and divorce at the same time"
