“W-What did you say?” Jessica went pale for a moment and the noise in the background was hushed.

I looked at her helplessly, hoping that at least now she would be merciful and call Killian to clear up this misunderstanding but the very next moment her malicious laughter echoed throughout the surroundings.

“You are Bella Stone? Our previous Luna who saved the pack and fought alone with the rogues?”

She laughed in contempt, clutching her stomach as if she had heard a big joke.

“My mother-in-law who could kill so many rogues, was defeated by a group of females? How far would you go and lie slut!

You are nothing but a wench who crawled from the lowest level of brothels holding onto Killian like a blood sucking leech!”

“My wolf w-was wounded in that fight-“ I was able to barely stutter out some words in such excruciating pain.

"Making up new stories again?” Jessica stepped onto my wound making me wither in agony before she smirked.

"You wanted to snatch my husband earlier so what happened now? Do you think Killian will come to rescue you bitch, you are just a toy for him to play with and get rid of.

Let’s see how long you last after I am done with you!”

Jessica growled before taking out her cellphone, sneering at me as her lips twisted with sadistic pleasure.

“Come and get her.” She told someone and the look in her eyes made chills run down my spine.

I could not believe how insensitive the pack members present in here were; to protect their lives I sacrificed myself and trained my son like anything and they repaid me by smiling and taking pictures of me when I was bloody and naked.

"How disgraceful. She dares to lie about being the previous Luna.”

“She must have wanted to get a chance to run away to the Alpha and cry that Miss Jessica bullied her. Serves her right.”

“She is a homewrecker, why must Miss Jessica show any mercy?” Jessica stood haughtily and looked down at me like I was a pest as none of the werewolves standing in the boutique took my side and even gossiped.

“What if she gives birth to Alpha’s child. Will an illegitimate child be born before a legitimate one?” Jessica’s eyes shone dangerously as she heard the people.

“Don’t tell me she is already pregnant, why else would the Alpha personally receive her at the airport?”

The words were nothing but knives that made my condition even more miserable.

“She is naked already, why don’t we check her vagina to know if she is a virgin or not?” My eyes widened as Jessica’s friend suggested it.

“She is a slut; she can’t be a virgin.”

“But the Alpha would not have her if she is used goods. It means that if she is not a virgin, she must have had sex with the Alpha and might carry his child.” Another chimed in making my scalp numb.

“If this bitch dares then we must quickly take her to a hospital and check. If there is a child then we will force her to abort it and later operate her uterus to make her sterile forever.” Jessica smiled at me when she said that.

“You should be thankful to me, your infertility will help you sleep around without any fear.”

It was like experiencing hell on earth when the men standing aside on the beck and call of Jessica holding me up had their hands roam my body infront of so many people.

I tried to break free only for them to twist my arm behind my back producing a crack sound making me howl in pain.

“Wait…Hey Jess, um should we give a background check first. What if she really is-“ A young woman who was also involved in torturing me came forward and whispered to Jessica.

Looking at me trying to fend off the goons Jessica instead smirked.

"Do you even listen to yourself?

My mother-in-law is high profile and is followed around by bodyguards all the time.

Furthermore, she is busy but promised Killian to spare an hour for our wedding today.

Do you think she will be roaming here and there in the airport clutching onto my future husband swaying her hips for paparazzi to madly take her pictures and even put up a front headline.

Only this lowly wench can resort to such dirty tricks!"

Now I understand why Killian called me at midnight.

Jessica fought at him over a picture of us together when Killian picked me up from the airport.

I was the mistress that Jessica wanted to kill.

During all this time she was planning to maul me to death, I was happily preparing for the wedding gifts, foolishly thinking I was gaining a daughter I always wanted but could never have.

“Boys, come on, check her vagina. See if she is a virgin.

If she is a virgin then all of you can take turns with her but if she isn’t-“ Jessica’s eyes flared up as she chose to not complete the sentence, glaring at me furiously.

I fought off with all the strength I could muster but three men held my arm and one of them violated my privates in the presence of hundreds.

Hell

I wished to stop existing at this moment.

He was so rough that I bled down whimpering as my body was broken.

If my husband was alive, he would have caused a massacre even if someone tried touching me inappropriately.

I fell into a pool of blood, almost dying.

“Miss Jessica she is not a virgin.” Silence covered the arena as a horrific smile graced Jessica’s features and I could see she was worse than the rogues I was hunting all these years.

“So, you did sleep with Killian huh? You dare covet what is mine.”

After finishing her words, Jessica motioned the stinking men.

“Bind her hands and gag her mouth tightly before parading her outside. Let the world see what happens when a mistress crosses the legal wife.

Do not let her run, throw her in the car after that and take her to the wedding venue. I have to let Killian see his whore sleeping around.” Jessica sneered at me before turning around with her girlfriends.

“Lets us hurry quickly now, my mother in law will arrive soon and I want to look the best infront of her.”

must be the perfect daughter-in-law to gain my mother-in-law’s recognition.

Killian loves his mother and to completely conquer him, I first need to get in Bella Stone’s good books.”

Jessica waved her hand asking her girlfriends to leave me behind and hurry out of the boutique.

“B-But she…what if she dies Jess?” At that Jessica turned to look at me with disdain, smirking at my awful condition.

“The bitch better hurry up then. Drag her behind us.”

The boutique workers parted like the sea for Jessica and her party.

“Listen up everyone, I punished this whore but the people who are upright will be rewarded well too.

For taking up your time I will gift you all a free dress from the boutique and a bonus to all the workers from this shop. Sum up all the costs and bring it to the Alpha, he will reimburse the exact amount.

Mr Stylist, I hope you recognize that I am going to be the new luna so there is no need for any intervention by the warrior guards or the gamma.

This matter has ended and if anyone asks you about it, just say you didn’t see anything.”

The Stylist and managers smiled widely trying their best to impress Jessica and quickly nodded.

“We will righteously follow our Luna!”

Jessica was content with their flattering.

I have almost lost the feelings in my legs and was so humiliated and hurt that I could barely keep my eyes open when they dragged me away like a rag doll barely able to stay conscious.

As soon as the bystanders on the road looked at me they were quite disturbed with the blood marks on my entire naked body and some even looked at Jessica with disgust despite knowing her stature in the pack.

“She is a whore who seduced my husband! How dare you point your fingers at me?”

A young man gritted his teeth as he could not see the drama anymore and came in front of Jessica.

“She might be a mistress or a prostitute, but haven’t you done enough damage to her or are you now planning to kill her?”

“He is right, she is a woman like us ma’am, there is not a single cloth to cover her up.

To parade a woman naked on the streets is not humane.” Another young female came and tried to pacify Jessica, asking her to release me only for her to scoff.

“Ma’am let us take her to the doctor immediately, her condition is really bad. What you are doing is against the pack rules.”

"We will hand her over to the pack guards after treatment if that appeases you but for now-"

“Shut up! You all fucking shut the hell up!”

Jessica wouldn't listen at all.

She looked at the man who defended me with a vicious look.

“Ah, another one of the suitors of this whore. And those at the back defending her, are you prostitutes working with this bitch?

Do you know who I am?

I am you luna, your fucking superior who could make you disappear in a moment. Going against me is going against the pack.”

The people were too stunned to speak when they heard that such a woman was chosen to be the luna. Some eyed Jessica like she was a monster.

The man who defended me quickly dialed a number as I was taken away by Jessica’s goons and thrown in a car trunk.

Finally, Jessica and her close friends drove fast, purposefully bumping on the road to torture me who locked in the car trunk. As soon as the car stopped, I was again hauled by the men and taken inside, all the while being naked and bloody.

This was the wedding I dreamt of attending, hoping to bless my son and future daughter-in-law.

"Jessica, Jess who is this?" People looked horrified by my appearance.

“Mom, dad she is the bitch who made you both unable to fall asleep all night yesterday worrying if Killian was serious about the wedding or not.”

Jessica's parents stood up and looked at me with resentment on their faces.

“Can you believe this bitch was planning to attend my wedding and crash the entire event?”

Anna Matthew, Jessica’s mother heard her daughter and soon came rushing to give me a tight slap.

"You dare try to snatch our days of glory!

Killian can only marry my daughter, how dare you covet her man!”

One slap after another landed on me, making me vomit blood to which Anna raged and hit me even more.

I felt I was going to die today.

What had I done so horrible to invite such a horrendous death.

"Kill her!"

"Only my daughter can be the luna! Only I can enjoy such prestige!"

“This bitch is proud of her face, let me ruin it today!

I'll see how you seduce other men in the future."

Anna held a candle and walked up to me and my eyes widened in horror.

Everyone was looking at me when the candle burned my face until it was extinguished.

“Now even the rogues would not want you!”

I cried desperately, with gut wrenching screams leaving my lips.

The overwhelming pain made me lose consciousness.

...

At this time, Jessica's cell phone rang, and her voice changed from angry to spoiled as she put the phone on speaker and spoke gently like she was angry with Killian.

"Is my mom at the venue yet?" Unexpectedly before she could speak Killian already enquired about me

“Umm nope, I am eagerly waiting for mother to come.” Jessica pouted, calling me mother intimately to let Killian think that she was eager to meet me.

"Wait, why is the background so chaotic, is everything alright?"

“Yes, but that woman you had, your mistress, I am teaching her a lesson for seducing you. Its all her fault Killian!”

Killian was stunned.

"What the hell are you talking about?!

When did I ever have a mistress?!"
