Ivy's pov.
The day was getting dark, and I was terribly hungry. After ignoring the aggressive knock on my door hours ago, I hadn't heard another knock, a voice, or even a footstep.
I sat in my room all day perfecting my skills and mastering their techniques.
I miss home already, I wonder if I will ever see my mom and sister and Aiden again.
I began unpacking my bags and arranging the few faded clothes I brought with me. I was done with arranging the clothes.
I lay my back to rest when I heard a gentle know on my door.
I spied through the peephole, and I saw a harmless-looking lady holding a tray of food.
"Thank you, moon goodness," I whispered.
I opened the door gently, with my demeanor in check, even though my stomach was growling from hunger.
The girl barged in immediately I opened the door without waiting for me to invite her in.
Don't these people have no respect for privacy?
"Here is your food, Luna," she said, placing the tray of food on the table.
"Thank you, but don't call me Luna, I'm nobody's Luna," I replied gently.
She smiled, and then chuckled.
"Good for you, I thought you already felt like the Luna of this pack," she snapped.
"Look," she said, raising my chin with her left hand.
"There is no place for you in this pack, you are just a tool to be used and thrown away when we have no more use of you," she said, with hate and disgust in her voice.
"The Alpha has a Luna, and he is just using you, so don't get comfortable, you will soon be thrown out,"
She picked up a bottle of water from the tray, opened it, and poured it on me.
"Inform the Alpha of what happened today and watch how miserable I will make your life," she warned.
With that last sentence, she walked out of the room.
I locked the door immediately I was sure she was gone.
I was too hungry to be bothered about a maidservant that I could single-handedly deal with.
I sniffed the food to check if it was poisoned, thankfully, it wasn't. I sat on the chair and began devouring the food. It was Chinese rice and grilled chicken.
I soon slept off and drifted to the dreamland.
"You whore!" he cursed angrily.
"I loved you, I cared for you, I fucked you good, why the hell did you choose to disgrace me in this manner? " He asked, glaring at me.
I sat on the chair where I was chained, staring at him apologetically.
"I'm sorry, Alpha," I said, my voice barely above a whisper.
"Did you just say you are sorry?" he asked, looking at me with disgust in his eyes.
"Well, I will make you feel truly sorry," He said, unlocking my chains.
Ease rested in my heart when he finished unlocking them, only for it to be replaced with panic when I felt his palm hit my face with a heavy force.
I held my face in my palm crying, hot tears rolled down my cheeks.
He raised my face again, to give me another resounding slap when a masculine hand held his hand from behind.
"Don't you dare hit my Luna," the strange man said, his voice firm and full of authority.
The chirping sound of birds startled me from my nightmare.
Knowing fully how my dreams always manifest in reality, I muttered a short prayer to the moon goddess, "May this dream never come true."
The anger in the Alpha's eyes in the dream was dreadful, the rageful experience I had with him in the car was nothing compared to his countenance in the dream. And who was the other man that held his hand?
Shoving the thought of the dream out of my mind, I put on my nightgown and headed downstairs to take a night walk around the pack.
Walking around the pack made me realize how rich the Alpha was.
The decor, the furniture, the statues, everything radiated wealth and glory.
I continued to wander until I got to a place that looked like a bush, but its grasses and trees were well taken care of, it was a garden.
The atmosphere was cold and welcoming, I sat on a big stone to relax when I heard a voice.
"Let's go," the masculine voice said.
I quickly went to hide behind a big tree as I watched them walk out of the garden.
Even though it was dark, I saw their faces. It was the Alpha's driver and the maidservant who served my dinner.
Are they lovers?
I sat under the trees casting and retrieving spells when I felt a sharp pain in my chest.
It was the pain you feel whenever your mate is sleeping with another person, I yelped as the pain got severe.
"Who is there?" I heard the Alpha's voice.
Sleeping with another woman didn't bother me, it was the fact that he didn't even respect the fact that our union isn't even up to twenty-four hours.
I cried even harder.
"What the fuck are you doing here?" his voice asked behind me.
I could feel the heat of his anger. His lover glued to him, and his hand rested on her ass.
"Babe, leave her to me, let me handle her," she began.
"The Alpha doesn't and will never love you, you were chosen because his father wanted you, so don't even think for a second that you have a place in his heart or in this pack, is that clear?" she snapped.
"Yes," I nodded.
I moved my gaze to the Alpha, and he stared at me blankly with no hint of remorse or shame.
Was this how he was going to pay me for saving his life?
Anger and jealousy engulfed me, my eyes darkened as I watched them kiss and cuddle in each other's arms.
Without thinking, I walked to where they were standing and grabbed his lover by the neck and strangled her.
Afraid of what I have done, I took to my heels and began to run as fast as my legs could carry me.
