"Simply say you are jealous because you do not have a mate." I stared at my husband with hatred; yes, I had not found my mate, but we married by contract because my late father and his father were close friends.
"You know you are just a hopeless case." I shook my head and walked away. I met Linda on the stairs, who gave me a devious smile with another meaning. When I got to my room and opened the door, I slumped on the bed and groaned. I picked up my phone and dialed my cousin's number; she was in charge of my old pack, and I might have to move in because the torture was too much.
"Hello, Danielle," I said as she giggled.
"Hello Ariana," Danielle said, her voice soft and soothing as I remembered.
"Hey, how is the pack going? And how are you?" I asked as she sighed.
"The pack is doing well, but it is a little stressful, and I am fine thankfully," she said, as I smiled.
"I might be coming over soon," I said, and she burst out laughing.
"Stop joking, Ari; you are mated with that dude, and he marked you, so just give up," she said as I sighed.
"he found his mate and he brought her to live in our goddamn home, and the worst part is she is an omega," I said as Danielle coughed.
"That is absurd; why are you still there, if I may ask?" As I reflected, she asked why I was still here; aside from Clara, I had no reason to be here.
"I might come over sooner than I expected," I explained.
"Okay, I have something to do now; I will call you later," she said before hanging up. I stood up, feeling a little hungry, and went downstairs to the dining room. The maids were still setting the table, so I went to the wine cellar, where I met Linda, who was sitting comfortably as she sipped the wine in her glass.
"Nice of you to join me, Luna," Linda said, her voice as calm as a lake. I ignored her, grabbing a cup and pouring myself a drink from a completely different wine bottle.
"I do not understand why you are ignoring me; I do not seem harmful, do I?" Linda scoffed as I sat next to her.
"I do not talk to home wreckers," I said, and it was true that she was slowly destroying my home.
"Homewrecker?" That was brutal; I was just taking what was rightfully mine." I was trying not to snap at this girl, so I smiled and regained my composure.
"He has never been yours; where were you when his clan was falling apart? Huh?, I raised this clan from the ashes with him by my side; I am also an alpha, but what are you, a measly omega?" I asked as she turned to face me. I noticed her eyes flash green, which was unusual for an omega, but I brushed it off.
"I might be an omega, but do not judge a book by its cover, and I can make him reject you in the blink of an eye," she said, as I stared at her, knowing there was nothing she could do.
"Go ahead and show me what you have got," I sneered at her as she smirked. She pushed the wine bottle to the floor and grabbed a piece of the broken bottle, slicing her two wrists as she screamed, Martin walked in as he rushed to her.
"Are you okay, Linda?" You did this didn't you, you conniving bitch" Martin said as I sighed, it hurt me watching my husband protecting another lady all in the name of a mate.
"Ask your lunatic mate here," I scoffed, as Linda's sobbing grew louder as maids and a few guards entered to witness the scene.
"Martin, I did not mean to upset her; I guess she was too angry; please do not blame her," Linda sobbed as Martin wrapped his arms around her while she cried.
"Why do you always have to be so cruel? Being a Luna and Alpha does not make you special; why do you feel proud, or should I say selfish, that you willingly hurt people? This is not the woman I married...at all." Martin shook his head, disdainful that I had ever known this man.
"It makes me feel special, I married you because my father wanted it, you marked me and the damn mark is fading, you found your new mate yet you claim it is all for your wolf, I hear you, no, I see you knocking her up in our matrimonial bed yet you call me cruel or proud, and yes, this is not the woman you married to," I said as I gave them a twirl. I know I probably sounded proud, but I do not mind right now.
"I am a fucking Queen Martin, a bad bitch for life, and this your mate here might surprise you all; she smashed the bottle, cutting her skin, and if she was a werewolf, would not she be healing by now?" I scoffed as they turned to her hand, which she instinctively hid.
"Omega heals slower, and you are just trying to shift blame," Martin said as I shook my head, so smart but so naive.
"Okay, so what if I do it? What will happen? You can not banish or kill me," I threatened him, unaware that he had a huge surprise for me.
"Who says I can not do that? I fucking own you, Ariana, and I can get you out of my pack right now," he said as I stared at him, my eyes widened like saucers. I looked at Linda, who smirked and smiled sadly.
"You found your mate; now I am a toy for you," I said as he looked at me grimly.
"I, Alpha Williams, hereby reject you, Luna Carl, and banish you from the Star Blood's pack," Martin said to me as I felt my soul leave my body.
