The Ruthless Alpha And His Secret Twin Babies

Roxanne's POV

The rain was unending, falling as if the moon goddess was angry and had sent it to show her displeasure. I stood outside in the cold, shivering as water droplets soaked through my night dress, clinging to my body.

Remembering the reason I was outside, my chest tightened and tears slid down my eyes, mixing with the rain.

"Why did this have to happen to me? Do I not deserve to be loved?"

I had lost count of how many times I had been sent out., each punishment harsher than the last. Iwas always punished for such minor things that it stunned me my mate could treat me this way.

For some reasons, I should have gotten used to it by now but somehow, each one still hurt the same. Maybe it was because each time, I found myself clinging to some impossible hope that this would be the last.

I wrapped my hands around myself, feeling the ache in my shoulders where bruises were still healing.

Phillip had beaten me just before he ordered the guards to throw me out, but even that was preferable to the words he'd spoken earlier.

"You're not worthy of the title Luna. At least Elena knows her place,"

I was merely an omega,the weakest of the weak. It didn't help that when everyone else got their wolves, I was wolf-less.

Phillip always talked about just how much he hated that I was his mate, and like the perfect Luna I was, I endured all he said.

I even endured him bringing in another woman and marking her, That day was the worst day of my life.

"Elena" The name left a bitter taste in my mouth.

She was the pack's celebrated favorite, the perfect, graceful beauty who knew exactly how to manipulate my mate's affections.

While Elena was the perfect one, the person who does whatever is needed, I was scorned and mocked by everyone.

With her charming smile, Elena had wormed her way into every corner of the pack's heart and turned them against me in the process.

They no longer looked at me with respect. Instead, they stared with barely concealed disdain, as if I was an intruder in my own home.

And tonight was no different. I was told not to come back until three days from now. I couldn't believe that Phillip had thrown me out of the pack house in the middle of the night while it rained heavily.

And it was all because of what Elena had told him.

He hadn't bothered to find out if I had done what I was being accused of.

A bitter laugh slipped past my lips as I sat down on the stone steps, curling her knees to my chest. "Was this all happening because I am a weak Luna?" I asked myself.

I was Luna, but it seemed everyone had forgotten, and if they didn't, they ignored it.

I was supposed to be strong, someone the pack could depend on. But right now, all they could think of was Elena.

I closed my eyes, trying to ignore the chill I felt. If this kept up with me being outside, I was going to fall sick. But I didn't have a choice.

I couldn't help but recall all that had happened to lead me here, the fact I was being punished for something I didn't do.

Elena had pushed herself down from the staircase and blamed me. To everyone else, I was the jealous Luna who wanted to get rid of competition, and so they believed.

The pack members had all stared at me with hatred, even Phillip wanted me pushed down from the staircase so I would feel the same she felt.

But Elena, being the white lotus that she was, begged them to change my punishment. Now, they all think of her as kind hearted, not seeing the kind of person she is truly.

And so here I was.The door creaked behind me, and I glanced back, hoping maybe-just maybe-someone would show me mercy.

Maybe Phillip decided to have pity on me, considering how heavily it rained."

My lips parted, curving downward when I saw who was standing there. It was Elena who stepped out, her face smug. She had a mocking smile on her face as she took in my appearance.

"Still here, are you? How pitiful." Elena's voice dripped with mock concern.

She tutted as she shook her head, and I clenched my fists in anger.

"What does she want now, Isn't it enough to have me go through the pain that I did?" I mumbled.

"Honestly, it's embarrassing seeing you out here. The pack deserves better, don't you think?" Elena said, resting against the door frame.

I clenched my jaw, biting back any response. I didn't want to give Elena the satisfaction of knowing that her words affected me.

"Oh, and don't think anyone's going to help you," she continued, stepping closer.

"They've all seen how weak you are, how unworthy you are of him," She leaned down, her voice lowering to a whisper.

"If I were you, I'd think about leaving. It would make things so much easier for everyone." With that, she turned and left, her laughter fading into the night, leaving me alone in the dark.

"Maybe I should leave." The thought was tempting, a form of escape. But I knew it wasn't that simple.

No matter how much I wanted to break free, to walk away from the humiliation, my heart-my loyalty to the pack and my role as Luna, wouldn't let me.

I belonged here, no matter how much they scorned me .

The night slowly passed and I didn't know how long I stayed there, was two hours? Or maybe more..

And the rain never stopped. I couldn't think of a better shelter to stay in to hide away from the rain. Also, I didn't want to go far in case Phillip decided to have pity on me who was his mate.

Hereby, I endured.

My whole body shook and my teeth clattered. I could barely keep myself up as I leaned against the wall.

If I had a wolf, I might have turned into my wolf form to help with the cold, But I didn't.

I felt so weak and my head spun, like I might pass out any moment.

Roxanne's POV

"Oh God, please," I banged my fist softly against the doors, begging for someone to come help me, but no one came.

Who would go against the alpha to help me out?

Just when I thought I couldn't take it anymore, someone, a member of my pack, appeared.I had seen him around occasionally around the pack.

He looked at me, pity in his eyes and I hated it, The look in his eyes. I hated having someone I should be above staring down at me with such a gaze, reminding me of my situation.

"Do you need help, Luna?" he asked, as if he wasn't already seeing the situation.

"Was he just here to mock my situation? "I turned to him, searching his face for mockery. He seemed to be genuinely worried about me and I didn't know what to feel about that.

What if I leave and Phillip comes out to take me in, then I would be in big trouble.

"You'll freeze if you stay out here in those wet clothes," the man said, snapping me out of my thoughts.

He was right, I could barely feel my arm. Standing here wouldn't do me any good, And so I followed.

Wrapping his arms around my shoulders, he pulled me under an umbrella and walked me to his car.

"I'm sorry, I can't take you to my house, but you could go to a motel and stay there for as long as you like," He suggested, and I thought about it.

Phillip had told me not to return for three days, I could do exactly as this man had suggested.

The drive to the motel was silent, and I wrapped my arms around myself to shield myself from the cold.

I felt bad for getting his car seat wet, and I tried to shrink myself as much as I could. Thirty minutes later we got to the motel. I ignored the stares I was getting from people as water dripped from my clothes to the floors, making them wet.

I wanted to apologize to the staff for the mess, but shame kept my head down, following behind the man silently.

"A room please," he said to the attendant.

After we were given a key, the attendant led us to a room on the top floor. "You'll be warmer here. I'll head down and pay for a few days" he said.

I mumbled a thank you, grateful beyond words, and he gave me a quick nod before leaving. instantly, I walked to the bathroom, peeling off the wet clothes from my body.

I started a warm bath and I gently climbed into it, letting the heat seep into my body. I was so close to dying from the cold.

Not wasting time in there, I washed my body quickly, drying it with a towel in the bathroom. There was a robe hanging in the wardrobe, and I put that on after keeping my clothes dry.

Outside, I heard voices-low, serious whispers that made me curious. I shouldn't listen, but I couldn't help it.

I quickly tiptoed to the door, placing my ears against it.

"...just slip the drug into his drink," one voice said, urging someone. "He won't even know."

"Slip a drug?" I froze, my heart beating faster. They were talking about drugging someone.

"Are you certain he won't find out Luna? He would have our heads if he did," The other voice whispered back.

"Luna? There was a Luna here who planned on drugging someone."

I had no idea who they're talking about, was, but it didn't sound like any of my business. I had enough trouble of my own.

She was a Luna and I was a fake one, with no wolf or strength. Getting into another person's business would only lead to death.

I sighed, feeling the weight of my situation as I lay down on the bed. Closing my eyes, I tried to escape the storm in my mind.

My thoughts raced as I lay there, different things running through me at the same time. Phillip had thrown me out because of a lie that was said, Now the main thing I thought of was how can I make the alpha forgive me.

I didn't even do what he thinks I did, but explaining that seemed hopeless. Everything is hopeless.

"As long as that woman said I did it, then I did it."

It didn't take long before I drifted off to sleep, the darkness welcoming me. The next three days passed by in a flash and soon, I was on my way running to the pack house.

"Did Phillip search for me? Did he notice that I was away from the pack house all this while?" All these questions ran through my mind as I raced.

I was desperately holding on to our mate bond, hoping something would happen, sparking it back to life. It didn't take long before the pack house came into view and I picked up my pace.

I didn't tell Phillip where I was going. I didn't tell him where I'd be staying, he must have been worried. I stopped in my tracks when I got to the entrance; Phillip and Elena were standing at the entrance.

Phillip glared at me, his eyes blazing with fury.

"What happened? What did I do?" I wondered as I stared between them.

"Phillip..." I started but he was quick to cut me off.

" I told you my name should never come out of that mouth of yours," He growled, making me take a step back in fear.

He had used his Alpha's voice and I immediately got to my knees, baring my neck to him in submission. I tried to fight the hold it had on me, but it was no use.

"I told you, she was shameless enough to come back here, after all she did," Elena's lips pulled into a smirk, and I stared at her, confused.

"What...what do you mean? You told me to come back after three days." I stuttered in confusion, looking between them both.

Phillip's eyes blazed with fury as he towered over me.

Roxanne's POV

"Do you think I'm stupid, Roxanne? Do you think I can't see through your lies?" His voice was cold, cutting through me like a blade.

"What lies? I wasn't lying about anything." I didn't even know what they were talking about.

I stared up at him, completely lost. "I don't understand. What are you talking about? I've done nothing wrong!"

Elena scoffed from beside him, crossing her arms with a smug expression. "Nothing wrong? Why don't you tell him why you came back after sleeping around with different men? You have no shame, do you?"

"What?"Her words hit me like a punch to the gut. I gasped, shaking my head desperately.

Where did the rumor that I have been sleeping around with different men come from?

"That's not true! I've done no such thing! You're lying!" My voice cracked as I pleaded with Phillip to believe me, but it seemed impossible for him to trust me.

My eyes flew to Elena only to find her staring at me with a smug look on her face. I knew this had to do with her, that was the only explanation.

Phillip's jaw clenched tighter, his nostrils flaring. "You expect me to believe that? I saw you leave with a man, Roxanne. With my own eyes. And now you dare to stand here and call me a liar?"

I froze, realizing what he was referring to. I was freezing out there in the rain, about to die. And the man had only helped me. And yet they saw it as me cheating?

"Yes, I left with him, but it wasn't like that!" I said, desperation creeping into my voice.

"He helped me because you threw me out in the rain! He drove me to a motel so I wouldn't die from the cold, but nothing happened between us. I swear it!"

"Why would a man help you for free, Roxanne? What did you offer him in return?" Elena added and Phillip's eyes shifted to her.

At this point, I knew Phillip wouldn't believe me. His laughter was dark and bitter."

"You think your words can undo what I saw? Do you think I'm blind to the truth? You disgust me," he spat, shaking his bead.

His words stung more than I could bear, but I couldn't stop the words that tumbled out next.

"And what about you, Phillip?" I hissed, my voice trembling. "You've been sleeping with Elena, haven't you? And yet-" Before I could finish, my face turned to the sides, my words cutting off.

The impact sent me staggering back, my vision blurring as I collapsed to the ground.I couldn't believe it, but it was right there.

My cheek burned from the slap, but the ache in my chest hurt far worse. Phillip had hit me. My mate, the man I trusted.

"You dare question me? You, who are nothing but a lying, deceitful woman" He sneered

I braced myself for the inevitable blow, my heart shattering as the words fell from his lips, a lone tear slipping down my face.

"I, Phillip Stone, Alpha of the Stonewood pack, reject you, Roxanne, as my mate. You are no Luna of mine

**A few weeks had passed since I was rejected, a week since I got thrown out of the pack I grew up in.I left the area entirely, going to a different region as I tried to make out something for myself.

I found a small town miles away from home and picked up a job as a barmaid. I had to go far because I didn't want anyone I knew to find me.

I wanted to be gone and away from the place that brought me pain.

The bar wasn't glamorous, but it kept me busy and helped me forget the ache that lingered since Phillip's rejection.

Here, I was just another face in the crowd, and that was fine by me. No one knew me or pitied me as the rejected Luna."

One night, the bar was packed as usual. Locals, travelers, and drifters gathered in clusters.It was like this most times, and I loved it.

I usually got busy, keeping my mind off things I shouldn't be thinking about. And it gave me more money.

I weaved between tables, taking orders and delivering drinks, thankful for the distraction.

"Hey, Roxanne, give me one of those cups," one of our regulars called out, a few drops away from getting drunk.

"I'd be right there," I called out, forcing out a laughter.

It takes a lot of alcohol for a werewolf to get drunk, a whole lot. You have to be either filthy rich or ready to go broke to want to get drunk.

I was already getting tired of walking around, ready to call it a night and then go home. But then a man walked in.

Not just a man, but someone who radiated danger and power. He didn't belong here, and yet, I couldn't look away.

I sucked in a breath, My heart thundered in my chest, each beat louder than the last. Everyone turned silent as they watched him silently, their eyes following his movement.

The man seemed like he belonged to a dangerous world, a world entirely different from mine, one I could never belong in. One I shouldn't even think of being in.

He screamed for power and dominance, commanding submission from everyone all around us. And oh, was I ready to submit.

His eyes were dark, filled with so much intensity, it sent a wave through me.

They scanned the room before settling on a seat at the far end of the bar. If he wanted to be mysterious, then he got it.

People gave him space without a word as if sensing he wasn't someone to mess with. I didn't know why, but something drew me toward him, an urge I couldn't ignore.

So, defying the stares of everyone else, I approached him, drink in hand, and slipped onto the stool beside him.

I was supposed to be home right now, in the comfort of my safe blankets, But here I was.

I needed something to help me forget Phillip, someone to take my mind off things, And this was him finally.
