Hana’s POV

I was just lodging around, watching short videos online to pass time when I suddenly had a nagging feeling. I tried several times to shake it off but it was useless. I did know what exactly was bothering me so I decided to tell Calvin about it, so nice I felt like it had to do with him.

On getting to our room, Calvin wasn't there nor was he in his office. I searched around the pack house but couldn't find him, I started panicking, I tried calling him but he wasn't answering my calls. I feared that something may have happened to him since he never informed me that he was going out.

“Luna, what is the problem?” The maid asked when she saw me frantically running around the apartment.

“Have you seen Alpha Calvin? I can't find him anywhere.”

“Alpha left a while ago. I heard him mention something about checking his health up. I didn't really hear what he was talking about since he was far from me and it was against work ethics to eavesdrop on people's conversations.” She answered as she also tried to explain that she did not intentionally listen in on Calvin' call. I was glad she heard him as it had provided me with all the information I needed.”

“Thank you.” I said as I rushed to grab my things and left. I went straight to the pack's clinic where he often went for his check up to look for him, just to make sure he’s okay, then I would be at ease. The moment I got to the clinic, I went straight to the pack doctor's office. Dr. Maribel was our pack doctor, a special family doctor and we all came to her for treatment.

“He would definitely be in her office.” I thought inside of me.

The moment I opened the door, my eyes shot straight into the office, only to meet with what I never expected. My phone slipped off my hand, crashing to the floor, my legs shook. I was on the verge of collapsing.

“What the fuck?” I screamed. Maribel stood half-naked in only a bikini, twirling all over Calvin while he groped and spank her ass.

“No way this could be happening!” The moment they heard my voice, they turned. Their eyes popped out wide to see me here at this time.

“What do you guys think you're doing?” I challenged them, storming towards them.

“Dr. Maribel, did you leave your medical job to seduce my mate?” I scolded her, my heart rippled with so much anger that I felt like hitting her so deep on the head.

“Why would you do such a thing to me?” I turned to Calvin, my eyes all teary. “Have you forgotten the promise you made to me on our wedding day? To be faithful to me?”

Out of anger, I descended on them but they dodged. I couldn't come here and not show them what I've got. Within a few seconds, the office was a total mess as I scattered and crashed the furniture, books and system.

“You both will certainly pay for this. I will only compensate you for the damage if you can prove yourself not to be a cheater.”

“I'll let everyone know.” I threatened. Taking a picture of them, I stormed out.

I returned back to the pack house where I ended up crying terribly in my room.

My mind got swallowed by the deep tempest I was in. Just as I was lost in my thoughts, my phone buzzed. Calvin was calling.

I reluctantly tapped on the green button, picking the call to throw further threats on him but suddenly, his voice came up.

"You should know your place Hana, you better keep this to yourself as it would bring you more harm if it is exposed. I'm doing this for our own benefit, this wouldn't have happened if you had given me a child. I'm trying to guard my position as the Alpha.”

“Maribel is gonna bear my heir since you can't. If you don't want me to go out to another woman, why don't you fulfill your responsibility as my Luna and give me an heir?”

The tears dropped even more. Hearing the mate I love so much saying this broke my heart. I felt like I was guilty for not being able to bear him a pup, at the same time there was nothing I could do.

“No need for you to panic, it's not a long term thing, I planned on letting her go after she has the baby and we could raise it as our own. Everything would go back as they were between us.”

While he spoke I could dictate an unmistakable mockery in his voice not that he tried to hide it. “I believe you've lost your mind, Calvin! Do you take me for a fool?” I lashed out at him, my fists were clenched, my fingers dug deep into my palm and I started bleeding but I was numb to the pain.

“Never in my wildest dream would I have thought you would do this to me. Are you trying to replace me? Is that why you're having an affair with her?”

“It doesn't matter, all this would have been avoided had it been you bore me an heir. You have no right to be angry at me, instead you should reflect on yourself instead.” He returned the mockery to me.

“You keep saying that I can't bear you a child, where do you so much believe this? Why can't you wait till we're done with our therapy and treatment? Why have you been so impatient?” I yelled, stamping my foot on the ground with so much tears in my eyes.

“It doesn't matter now,” he sighed. “I took some tests and discovered that there was nothing wrong with me, so in the end it is still your fault we don't have kids.”

Calvin' words hurt me so deeply, I slumped on the couch with tears streaming down my eyes. It hurts even more as his words were likely true, maybe I was the reason he doesn't have an heir.

“Calvin! Don't give up on me. Give me time to prove that I can bear your child, it's been just less than a year we got together, it's still too early for you to conclude that I can't bear a pup.” I said, trying my best to convince him.

“Well too bad, it's already late for that now. Maribel got pregnant after just one night, only the woman who bears my child can become my Luna soon.”

“So it turns out that you were lying about things returning to normal, were you just–”

He ended the call before I even got the chance to finish what I had to say. I was devastated, I sat on the couch staring at the ceiling as tears blurred my eyes, not knowing what to do next. My world was crashing down and I had no idea how to save it, all I could do was cry.

I started thinking about the time we've spent together, no matter how I thought about it I never saw any signs of betrayal and it was still a shock to me.

“Please! Let all this just be an awful nightmare and when I wake up everything will be back to normal. Goddess please bring him back to me.” I kept praying repeatedly to the moon goddess until I fell asleep on the couch.

I thought my prayers were answered. At around 10:30 PM that night, the doorbell rang and I sprang up to go answer. I knew it was Calvin because this tune rang differently from others visiting.

I was expecting the usual kiss he usually gave me each time he's back.

“Hun–” I called out to Calvin excitedly as I walked in front of him but my excitement vanished when I looked beside him to see Maribel caressing her tummy. She came home with Calvin.

So this is really serious?

“Oh no-ooo!” I screamed in shock.

Calvin placed his hand over Maribel’s waist, and she gave him a charming smile. “By the way, go and clean the guest room, you will be staying there from now on, she will be staying with me in the master bedroom, she has a child and needs more space.” He said and rudely pushed me aside as he walked into the apartment with Maribel in his arms, leaving me in shock.

Hana's POV

“Why must you bring your mistress home? Why do I have to give up the master bedroom because of her and your affair baby? There's no way I'm doing that.” As I spoke they had already settled down on the couch and Maribel was on his lap nestling in his arms. I stepped forward, grabbed her arms and tried to pull her off him.

“Unfortunately for you it's not up to you to decide where you stay. This is my house and my word is final. Does it look like I was asking for your opinion? I was just informing you so that you will get your things out of the room.”

“What do you mean by your house? The moment you became my mate this became our house and I have every right to it as you do.” I lashed back at him.

“For God's sake, I'm your Luna. No one can replace me.”

“Keep joking,” he smirked.

“You now have the guts to talk back to me, right?” Before I could reply to him, he raised his hand, without warning he struck me with a fatal blow. My head went numb, I became dizzy and stumbled before crashing on the floor.

As I tried to process what just happened I had someone giggling. I looked up to see Maribel happily watching the show.

“You're really pathetic! I thought you would save yourself some dignity.”

“When I mentioned to you previously that she would never give up, you thought I was joking. Now you see what I meant, see how clingy and desperate she is.” Hearing him mock me like this, I was hurt. if someone had told me that there would be a day Calvin would say such words to me I would never believe it.

“By the way, get up from there and prepare some delicious food for us! You'd be better off as a maid, than a Luna after all the only thing you're good at is cooking.” he brushed me aside with his leg as he pulled Maribel into the room.

I watched them enter the room which used to be our love nest, I couldn't bear the pain anymore. I started bawling my eyes out, I could feel a snort flowing down my nose but I was not in the state of mind to care.

When I woke up, I found my phone beside me and decided to grab it but a notification came in. I tapped on it. Another surprise greeted me.

While I was unconscious, Calvin had already posted on the Internet that his new Luna was pregnant. In the picture, Maribel wore my favorite pink maternity dress which I got as a gift on my wedding day for the day I'll get pregnant and will have to wear it for a photoshoot.

“What makes things more difficult now is that Calvin has declared Maribel as his fated mate and that she's pregnant for him. With his influence, everyone believes this.” My wolf whispered to me.

“That's right, I would only end up putting myself in a more difficult position.” I moaned, reluctantly accepting the truth.

“What if I come out to defend myself and tell the world how we were undergoing fertility treatment with Maribel?” I asked my wolf, my heart was pounding as I looked for solutions. My wolf was about to reply when I heard the doorbell ring. I was startled from my thoughts when the doorbell rang.

“Who could it be at this time of the night?” I was afraid that someone would see me like this, tattered and unkept. As a Luna it was a disgrace for me to appear before anyone unkempt or slightly out of place. I hesitated to open the door as I looked shabby and didn't want to attend to anyone looking like this.

“What are you standing there for, can't you check out who is at the door?” Calvin growled from the master bedroom. His voice was fierce, forcing me to get up and scurry to the door.

When I looked through the peephole, I was shocked to see it was. “What are they doing here at this time?” I muttered, I turned around to Calvin looking at me with so much disgust. I quickly wiped my snort and tried to make myself more presentable before his parents would notice me.

“Quickly get out of my sight!” He pushed me away from the door, I stumbled and I fell against the wall.

“Do you have to be so mean?” Tears fell down my eyes again, seeing the person I loved treating me like shit. I was going from his beloved Luna to nothing. He opened the door for them and they walked in. His face beamed with smiles.

“Welcome mom and dad. If I may ask, why are you guys here at this hour?” With so much respect, he demanded to know.

“Well we saw the news that you were expecting a child with your new Luna, so we came to congratulate you.” His mom said while looking around.

“It's good that you have an heir, now everything is settled and you can be the Alpha of the pack.” Calvin showed a genuine smile.

“By the way, where's your Luna? ” They looked around and their gaze happened to fall on me. I had tried my best to minimize my presence but they still ended up noticing me from behind the door where I hid.

“Who is that?”

It was dark, they couldn't see my face.

“Is that your old Luna?” His mom mocked upon pointing the flashlight of her phone at me. “Why are her eyes puffy and red, has she been crying?” They questioned Calvin but this didn't seem like a genuine question.

“You’re mistaken, she's not my Luna. I'd thought she's my fated mate, not until I met Maribel. We are mates.” Calvin lied boldly.

“What?” I gasped in shock.

“Luna?” He called out, I was about to answer when Maribel answered before me, taking me by surprise.

“No way, this can't be happening.” I muttered under my breath as my heart raced. “Why are you calling her by my name?” I'd just forgotten what he just said.

“I'm coming!” Maribel gently made her way to the living room, she had changed out of her previous outfit and was now wearing one of my other gowns. I went speechless. Shock rocked my chest, I felt a sharp pang.

“Mom, dad, you're all welcome.” She curtsied. “It must be tiring for you to make your way here just to congratulate us, we are really grateful. You shouldn't have come, we planned on coming to see you guys in the morning.” She spoke so gently, sounding like a very good wife. Calvin’ parents beamed with satisfactory smiles, nodding their heads.

“Hana has a health issue which makes her permanently unable to have a child, so I can't be with her.”

My legs went weak on the spot, I would never have believed Calvin could lie so effortlessly, it was obvious he had practiced it. He looked so sincere, had it not been I was involved and already knew the truth I would have believed him. The doctor never said this.

His parents looked towards me in disgust, if looks could kill, I would have certainly died.

“Calvin, how could you say such a thing?”

“It's a lie, they're both lying. He humiliated me just because I kicked against him bringing his mistress into my house. I just found out that he got his mistress pregnant and is now trying to replace me. Maribel is the pack doctor that has been taking us on fertility treatment, little did I know she would jump on him.”

His parents glared at me with doubtful eyes.

“Since you guys are treating me this way, I'll make sure Maribel and the pup never come true.”

The air in the room thickened, Calvin’ eyes darkened, he was looking with dread, Maribel turned to him with fear while his parents whispered among themselves.

“I thought I could still keep you but now you're proving so dangerous. I certainly have to do away with you.” He gave off his threat, getting me anxious.

What is he up to?

Hana's POV

“You can't do anything to me, I'm the real Luna,” I cried out in panic, the more I panicked the crazier I looked.

“There's no way you're the luna. How can the Luna of our pack look like this? You should be composed and decent at all times just like her.” His mom compared me to Maribel who smiled, curtseying at them.

“Hypocrite,” I growled at her, blinking furiously.

“I'm grateful for your kind words mom, Hana had gone crazy a while ago and tried to attack me had it not been for the Alpha, I would have been harmed by her.”

“Shut the fuck up, you liar!” I shouted. It was really puzzling seeing them lie this effortlessly and Calvin’ parents totally believing it.

“Why don't you get this unruly, useless bitch out of here. She deserves to be locked up, so you get pretty safe!” Calvin’ dad demanded. My jaw dropped. His son’s face instantly became furious.

“Guards!” He called out right away. I shook, looking at him with shock.

“Is he calling for my arrest for real?” I wondered to myself.

“Do you really have to do this to me? Is what you're doing fair before the moon goddess and man?” I cried out, he tried to avoid my gaze. His lips shivered and he looked somewhat uneasy. He refused to meet my gaze no matter what.

“If I end up leaving this house and I'm locked up, you, Maribel, claiming to be your mate will meet with her ultimate fate. I repeat again.” My voice re-echoed in the room, sending so much authority I never thought I could command. “Whether I'm alive or dead, mark my words.”

“Maribel,” I turned to face her directly. “You will definitely suffer a miscarriage and even if you don't surface a miscarriage, you will surely die during childbirth.” I cursed her.

“What the hell are you staying?”

My eyes caught her jumping towards me, her lips wide open, gnashing her teeth and growling. She jumped on me immediately, pulling my hair. Her eyes turned yellow, she was going to shift.

“I'm going to deal with you. How dare you curse me and my child.”

We fought, rolling on the ground. My fists sailed towards her in hard punches, my legs kicked at her. I was so quick before getting picked, even before Calvin or his parents could come to separate us.

Three hefty men walked in, fierce looking with heavy chest. Their eyes descended on me. Goosebumps descended all over my body upon being arrested by the deadliest sect in the pack’s security.

“Lock her up right away!” She growled. Most painful thing. It wasn't even Calvin asking for my arrest right now but his mistress.

I turned to Calvin but he shrugged his shoulders. “I didn't plan this for you but you have grown too violent. There's nothing I can do. My Luna has spoken and her words stand.”

The men grabbed me tight, twisting my hands to my back and placed handcuffs on them. It was so tight that my veins twisted, I felt my skin tear open from the force.

“Move! You lunatic. You don't know what's good for you and you dare to attack the Luna.”

I watched helplessly as the name which was my mate’s mistress got labeled on me. I was framed and accused before his parents.

Calvin knew the truth, Maribel knew she was the imposter but just because she was pregnant with Calvin' child I was completely thrown aside and humiliated. I could only watch as the pack doctor replaced me and took over my position by Calvin' side.

I was thrown into the dungeon at the courtyard of the pack house. This dungeon was specially meant for traitors, those who planned to overthrow the Alpha or committed other severe crimes.

I fell to the cold stone floor as the guards pushed me, locking the cell from the outside.

I sat on the floor, burying my face between my knees as I sobbed. “Oh goddess! Please come to my aid. You're my only help.” I pleaded to the goddess as I did not know who else to turn to. I cried myself to sleep.

When I woke up, still in the same position I was before I fell asleep, I saw Maribel standing by the gate of my cell.

“What are you doing here?” My eyes suddenly turned black with hatred, they were arching from too much crying.

“Humm. You're still full of yourself. You should know that I can help you? You're at my mercy now. Why don't you submit and let me help you out of this suffering?”

“I don't need your help. Just get the hell out of here.” I lashed back at her. “I'll come out of here soon and I'll watch you crawl on your knees begging me to forgive you with tears in your eyes. When this time comes, even if you shed tears of blood, I still won't forgive you.”

I knew she wanted to step all over me, no matter what she does it won't change the fact that she can never be me no matter what.

I stayed in the cell for the next three days, surprisingly I wasn't given any food or water and I had to sleep on the cold stone floor. There wasn't even water to wash myself, the worst part is that I was seeing my monthly flow.

“I think I'd rather die than continue to live this kind of life.” I said to myself but just when it seemed all hope was lost and I was sinking in despair, I heard the key to my cell dangling. I raised my head to see the chief guard in charge of here.

“Get up and get cleaned. Water will be provided for you and a new change of clothes. The lycan king is here to see you.”

“And what business do I have with the Lycan king?” I murmured in confusion.

I was about to ask more questions from the chief guard when some women came in with their noses covered, they dragged me out of the cell and took me to the bathroom where they washed me thoroughly.

I felt fresh with a lovely scent from the bath and the new change of clothes, a radiant blue silk flowing gown and a pair of luxury slippers.

“He's in the guest room with the Alpha and his mate,” one of the ladies said.

“Is anything wrong?” I asked, feeling puzzled at the way she looked at me right after saying this, with witty eyes and lips curled into a tight grin. She just shook her head and gestured on me to go in.
