I looked up from the floor when I saw someone walk inside the dark room. As they turned on the light, I quickly closed my eyes before gradually opening them again once they had adjusted to the brightness. "Luna, you haven't eaten anything from yesterday. Alpha Romano wants you downstairs." the maid said before she rushed out of the room.
Looks like it's been an entire twenty-fourth since I officially got married to Gael and became the Luna of the Blood Moon pack. I looked down at my attire to see that the golden dress I wore for the wedding was crinkled, my bones were stiff after sitting on this hard wooden floor all day long.
After those harsh words from Gael, a maid immediately came to the living room and led me to the guest room, where I had spent my entire day. "We should at least show him we are not worthless, and maybe we could prove that we did not kill Lorena," Rose said, and I nodded my head.
You are right.
"How did you change your mind so fast?" I asked her.
"I finally figured out there is no way to escape this bond," Rose said in a mocking tone before she shut me out.
I got up from my place and made my way into the washroom, after taking a shower, I changed into my pajamas and walked downstairs. As I reached the landing, I saw a maid taking the food into the dining room. Taking a deep breath, I made my way into the dining room. "Gael!" I heard a woman moan, which made me stop in my tracks.
What is going on in there?
When I walked inside, I felt like my heart broke all over again. Gael was seated on the head table, and there was a blonde bimbo on his lap while she was practically fucking him right in front of everyone. My eyes immediately looked around when I realized that even the maids saw what was happening, but they chose to ignore it.
"Alpha Romano," I called out his name, but he ignored it and kissed her deeper. "Alpha Romano," I called out a little louder, which got their attention.
"Oh, the new Luna." the blonde exclaimed with a sarcastic smile on her face while she still continued to sit on his lap.
"What do you want?" Gael asked me a little too harshly.
"I...I want to talk to you." I replied, and this made the blonde raise an eyebrow at me. "Alone," I emphasized.
"I will call you again." was all he told the woman, who nodded her head as she climbed out of his lap and walked towards me, just before leaving the dining room, she gave me a fake smile before walking out.
"What do you want now?" Gael asked me in an annoyed tone as he moved closer to the table and began eating his food as if nothing happened.
"Why did you marry me if you wanted to go around and sleep with all the women you see?" I asked him, and this made his fork stop midway as he turned around to face me.
"I have already told you. I don't like you, and it was you who wanted to become the Luna, isn't it?"
"I never said that. And if you want to continue behaving this way, then just let me go." I said as I saw his eyes narrow. He roughly placed his fork on the table and abruptly got up from there.
"I am your fucking Alpha, and you have no right to disrespect me!" he yelled as he walked towards me.
"You are only making the pack members lose their trust in you by sleeping around, Alpha Romano," I said in a low tone, and for a couple of minutes, he didn't utter a word when a sinister smirk appeared on his face.
"I see where this is going," he mumbled as he started walking closer to me while I took a slow step behind me till my back hit the wall. "You want to sleep with me, don't you?" he asked me, and this nearly made my heart stop.
How could he think like that?
"No, I…" Before I could complete my sentence, he grabbed my neck and pulled me towards him as he roughly kissed me. I tried to struggle out of his embrace, but he was too strong. My heart rate started to increase as I tried to push him away, but he held my hands and pressed his body against mine. Tears streamed down my cheeks as he roughly bit my lips before he pulled back.
There was a glint in his eyes that scared me. "This is just the beginning, Isabella," he said but I would not let him treat me like this. I slapped him hard across the face.
For a couple of seconds, he stood there frozen before I roughly pushed him away. "Don't you dare touch me again?" I threatened him. He stared at me for a couple of minutes before he stormed out of there.
I thought he would only abuse me with his words, but this, I don't think I can accept.
I hugged my legs against my chest and cried till I ran out of tears. Gael was always this sweet person, but seeing him behave like this today broke my heart. I wiped the remaining tears, got up from the floor, and made my way back to my room.
After making sure that the door was locked, I lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
Bang! Bang!
I was startled awake when I turned towards my bedroom door to see it vibrating. "Isabella! Get the fuck up, right now!" I heard Gael yell, which made me quickly get up from the bed and rush to open the door. As I pulled it open, I saw a furious Gael standing there. "I want you in my office in ten minutes," he said before he walked out of there.
Why does he want me to come to his office?
"We should just go before he gets angry again, Bella," Rose said. I walked inside the room quickly took a shower and changed my clothes before I ran out of his house towards the pack house.
As I walked inside the pack house, I walked straight to his office. When I reached the closed doors, I lightly knocked on the door as I waited for him to call me in.
