Sienna was surfing through her phone when the news of her mate getting wedded to her little orphaned stepsis whom she had always taken care of from childhood. She has served them for many years at the pack estate as her lady-in-wait, an exalted position especially for a Luna. Meanwhile Alpha Gray, her mate, told her that he was out of the pack for a diplomatic meeting at a foreign pack.
A week ago, her Omega little stepsis had left them for her hometown. She was going to meet her surviving relatives after a long time of not seeing them. Little did she know that it was a tactic by her husband to fly her abroad for their luxury wedding. A lot had been going on behind her but she wasn't aware. The latest secret was that Dera was Gray's fated mate.
Alpha Gray told his wife he was heading for an International Alphas' Diplomatic Meeting, held in Boston Pack. It was a triannual event and spanned across a week but the final event was always the most important. His wedding was set before this final day.
Sienna lay on the bed, stretching her arms and legs, gazing at her husband's picture. She missed him so much and couldn't wait to have him back.
Alpha Gray who was the Alpha of the Harlow Pack was her best friend right from childhood. She had always dreamt of marrying him one day and that dream came true. Even though they weren't fated mates, the love that bonded both of them was so strong that nothing could break it.
Not until Dera came into their lives.
She was Sienna's little stepsis, whom she brought to live with them. Life was pretty hard where she lived, as a considerate sis, she couldn't watch seeing her suffer while she was here in the city enjoying luxury with her husband.
Little did she know she was selling away her position as her husband's favorite and the Luna of Harlow Pack, her two greatest dreams-come-true. She thought she was just helping a little step sister since their parents were murdered. Sienna is a Lycan, the only surviving one in the world but she dared not show or tell it, lest she'd be killed. During the time her family were being murdered by the ruling werewolf warriors who outnumbered them, she was adopted by Dera's parents. They saw her by the rubbish dump, abandoned and hungry. Taking in Dera upon her parents' death prior to an auto crash was her own way of paying back for the good they did for her.
After glancing through her husband's pictures, she moved directly to checking messages on her Instagram. It was where she received official messages.
The first message that hit her was a video.
She narrowed her eyes in horror as she looked deeply into the cover picture of the video, there was a man who looked so much like her husband kissing another girl who wasn't her. At this moment, nothing mattered other than getting to confirm this. She quickly tapped on the video.
"Oh my goodness!" Tears fell from her eyes, her heart was beating so hard. Her hands were raised to her head as she became so confused.
"What's going on here?" It was here she thought of looking at the name of the person who sent her the video.
"I must confirm if this is true or a photoshopped video." She tapped on the sender's username, it was her husband's media manager. Roberts was always with her husband, he was the Alpha's assistant.
"Then this must be true!"
It was truly her husband getting married to Dera, her little stepsis who said she was going to see her surviving relatives.
"I've been tricked!"
She let out a scream which attracted a lot of people, who came running towards her room.
Her husband of three years was tying the knot with her little stepsis in a live wedding ceremony. Without Roberts sending her the link to the video, she wouldn't be able to see it.
"Imagine, he even made it private!" Sienna gasped. Her head was turning, she felt so dizzy that she dropped her phone on the bed, rolling on the floor. Tears flooded her eyes, blinding her. She could be heard groaning from outside, the knocks were getting the door banging so hard but despite this, she refused to open.
She picked up her phone again to check if this was true, but it hit her deeply.
"My only heart beat, my real mate, fated by the goddess!" Alpha Gray tagged Dera in a recent comment on his wedding.
Sienna flinched the phone hard against the wall, it came crashing on the floor. She didn't mind if it was damaged or not. She was in too much pain to be concerned about this. Nothing mattered to her again, not even her life.
"How could these two have a deep relationship? I didn't just know, they could have been having sex a lot of times." She shut her eyes tight. Alpha Gray always loved spending time with Dera, taking her out. To her, she thought it was a reward of diligence. Dera was the most hardworking girl they had in the estate. She wasn't initially brought in to work as a maid, but after seeing the care and luxury her sis gave to her, she voluntarily decided to serve her in gratitude.
Sienna didn't see anything wrong here as it was her self-will.
"Now I've seen I was a fool!" She cried.
As soon as the wedding was finished and everyone was heading for the reception, she called Gray immediately. Seeing her call, he thought it was her calling to check up on him as usual, so he picked up, not knowing what she was up to.
"Hello," She called out with a cracked voice immediately the caller timer came up. Gray was listening, hearing her voice, he arched his brows, he suspected something was wrong.
"Who's that?" Dera asked as she was standing with her new husband. Sienna gasped.
"So this is true?" Sienna yelled. "You lied to me about going to a diplomatic meeting only to secretly fly out my stepsister and get married to her. You both are demons."
"I should have blamed myself first of all for deciding to do good to her. Now the good has turned to bad."
"Are you insane, what are you talking about?" Sienna felt like pulling over a rod and hitting him so hard in the head for pretending as though he didn't get what she was saying.
"Are you calling me crazy now?" She asked.
"Yes, because I don't know what's wrong with you. I'm getting married to my fated mate, the love of my life. So that's not your fucking business. Remain the wife which you are," he sneered.
"What wife?" Dera scolded.
"I'm sorry baby," Gray pleaded. Sienna gnashed her teeth, folding her fingers into a ball. She was vibrating inside of her. She even heard both of them kissing, they were doing this to hurt her, she knew well.
"I'll make sure both of you pay for this crime you've committed!"
"Wait, madam mistress....." Dera said with a chuckle. "I hope you know I'm in control now. I'm his Luna. Stop living in illusion!" She barked.
"You can do nothing! He's mine!" With this, she hung up, leaving Sienna gazing into space in horror as she slowly lowered the phone from her ears.
"I can't believe this is true!"
"I can't believe this is happening!!"
She was drained of tears and sweat, still sitting on the floor. Slowly she stood up from the floor and walked to the bed, sitting on the side. All the knocks on the door seemed like a trance, a mere imagination to her.
She couldn't still buy the fact that she had lost her husband, her chosen mate who was more than a fated mate to another girl. Worst was, it was a girl she knew and loved, a girl who always called her 'ma' am.'
She quickly resorted to messaging.
"Gray," She replied. The message popped up on Gray's screen. He was still online.
"We have been together for three years and during these three years, I abandoned my work to be a full-time housewife so I can cater for your needs when you're back from your office as the Alpha."
"Aren't you satisfied, what did you want again from me? If anything, why didn't you tell me? Wouldn't I do it for you?" She was almost moved to tears again. She dropped a teary emoji.
"Can you tell me exactly what you want that I haven't given you, is it sex, food, attention, respect? I even get to kneel willingly for you without you compelling me, I'm pretty sure not all wives do that for their husbands."
She paused to swallow some saliva as she was choking. Gray was reading all this but he gave no single answer.
"Why would you still go secretly to take that petit, little brat as your wife?" She attached yelling stickers, as she was fuming up seeing him read through her messages but not saying anything.
"She's my mate and I love her more than you. I had to go for my heart, she gives me calm and makes my wolf strong!" Gray replied, at last, hurting Sienna so much.
This response wounded her more.
Sienna froze. It was as though someone slit her throat.
"But..... Mmm," she was confused and didn't know what to say.
"You're my chosen mate! She's my fated mate." Alpha Gray typed.
"I'm sorry, I know how you would be feeling now but there's nothing you can do. I had to do this!" His message seemed sympathetic, but in actual sense, he was grinning hard with Dera.
"Leave that fool! She's nothing more than a fool." They both burst out laughing.
"Sometimes, the truth is the hardest to hear." She told herself that Sienna was getting to believe this reality. She smirked.
"They will surely pay for it!"
Alpha Gray spent a three-week honeymoon with Dera, his new mate before returning to the Harlow Pack.
His wife met him with a deadly gaze.
Without saying a word, Alpha Gray knew what was in his wife's mind.
"My little mate, I promise won't stop you from the position which you are, as the Luna."
"I'm not after that, but you. Why would you dare do such a thing after you stood before you made a blood covenant with me, promising me in the name of the moon goddess that you will never get a second wife?"
"Why did you give me hope that you would never look for another girl, no matter if she was your fated mate?"
All these, Alpha Gray did only to end up going against his promise. This is what hurt Sienna the most. She had great hope for him.
"No woman wants to share her husband with any other woman, and no responsible man would get into an affair with a young adult behind his wife's back!" She barked at him in the face.
"So you call me a fool now for choosing to be with my mate?" He gave her a hard slap before everyone who was gathered on the estate's ground floor to welcome him back.
"What?" Sienna yelled in horror. "How dare you do this to me?"
"Because you've forgotten how to talk to your Alpha with respect!"
"Let's go in!" He uttered to Dera as he grabbed her by the wrist.
Sienna was still standing there, without motion. Everyone had a look of horror, they never thought their Alpha could act this way. Alpha Gray was always the gentle, loving, and caring husband to Luna Sienna. Even other married women and single girls were jealous of her and wished they had such a man.
"Hey baby," Carla, Sienna's cousin, emerged from the crowd running to meet with her cousin. She didn't mind the crowd, she called her Luna by the fond name she gave her.
"Don't worry about him, we will sort things out soon. We will do everything possible to make sure Dera doesn't stay in this estate and in Gray's life." Carla was fusing with anger inside of her, her eyes were bloodshot.
"Carla, I can't believe this is happening to me!" She sank to her knees.
Carla tried her best to raise Sienna. She led her into the house, to her apartment.
"We can't believe this is happening!" People started to comment. The Alpha didn't even give them a hint that he was going to take another Luna after Sienna had already been installed as their Luna.
Sienna was their most beloved Luna, she was cordial and merciful, and there was no reason for anyone to hate her with the type of life she lived.
Yes, this caused a great sense of worry to all but it couldn't be measured by the worry Sienna had. This disturbed Sienna more than she ever thought of. So she decided to spend her days inside her room, turning an introvert overnight.
Gray was becoming so violent in words and act each time they crossed each other, so she chose to avoid him.
Since Alpha Gray was a terror in appearance as well as in actions, no one dared to challenge him for his new treatment of their beloved Luna, Sienna. They kept quiet, not as though they didn't care but they were afraid. Aside from this, Gray wasn't the type that would listen to anyone. As for the Beta, he watched what was happening in silence.
Sienna continued to live in her misery, wishing for things to change but it came up to the point that Sienna couldn't keep quiet any longer, so she decided to act.
"I don't give a damn shit whether she's his fucking mate or whatever, I will drive her out of this estate!" She vowed as she left her room finally. She headed to her husband's apartment which he now shared with Dera.
As she approached, she saw Dera going into the room she once used to stay with her husband, it was their matrimonial room.
Dera held a tray of appetizers chopped into pieces which she and Gray were going to eat for the morning. She was going to make a fruit salad for Gray, it was obvious. This was her favorite delicacy while in bed with Gray. Then Dera used to prepare it.
It was so sad that she now had to be the one enjoying this with her husband while she had to stay alone and gloomy inside her room, gazing over at the window every day, dying of loneliness.
Sienna hastened up, pulling her by the shoulder so violently that the tray fell and all of the fruits fell on the ground.
"Hey girl, what are you up to?" She growled, snarling at her.
"I'm over there in my room, so sad and lonely and you think you can enjoy my husband. No!" She shook her head. "Not in this life."
"You, ugly bitch, I wonder why you should be so clingy. It's so disgusting!" Dera spat on her. "You don't even fit to be his Luna."
"Gray has shown many times he doesn't want you, still you persist. Don't you think you should pack your things and go out into the streets?"
"Go and die there with your bitterness!"
"I'm tired of seeing your ugly face in this house!" She spat on Sienna. Sienna couldn't believe that her little stepsis was talking to her this way just because she happened to become her husband's new Luna.
As she bent to pack the appetizer from the ground into the trash can since they couldn't be fed on again, Sienna jacked her by the hair. Jacking her face up, she gave her a hard slap which sent her crashing to the ground.
It was at this point Alpha Gray came out. He had a white towel wrapped over his waist. He had beads of water streaming down his chest. His hair was messy. His chest was hard with his eight-pack abs making him look all sexy and hot.
His face was strong, his eyes turned red seeing his little mate on the floor.
He didn't say a word but dashed at Sienna, giving her several slaps. Her cheeks turned red, her entire face got swollen. He kicked at her and she stumbled, falling to the ground. Sienna groaned in pain.
He then rushed over to Dera.
"What's going on sweetheart?" He was panting. "Hope you're not really hurt? I can't believe this clingy fool pushed you to the ground."
Sienna cried out. "I can't believe you would do this to me after all the love and earnest promises." She said in tears and a broken voice. "I still can't believe why you would do this, you came in and without knowing what happened between us, you descended on me." Her heart was pierced as she saw Gray petting Dera.
When he raised his head and shot her a glance, she shivered. He had so much hate in his eyes towards her.
"She said she's going to kill me if I don't leave this estate!" Dera lied after Gray raised her to her feet.
"What?" Gray gasped, about to descend on Sienna again but Dera held him.
"Don't worry, I'll deal with her myself."
Dera stormed towards Sienna, pushing her against the wall. Sienna's knees were weak. Gray's beating had rendered her weak physically and emotionally. Even with her weakness, there was a fire in their hearts.
She pushed Dera's hands off her.
"Get your filthy hands off me!" She barked at her, pushing her away from her.
With this, Dera still walked towards her, Sienna's eyes were filled with shock. She couldn't believe that her little stepsis she helped could take this stance against her. Her heart was still into when they were mistress and maid.
The anger infuriated her, making her shift into her big gray wolf. "I'm gonna show you that I'm still your superior, even when my husband is touching you!"
