The Miracle Luna He Wasted

Dahlia’s POV

“For the last time, I don’t want her to attend the gala. She's not needed there anyway.”

I looked down, afraid of hearing Theodore’s angry voice. He was scolding the guards for allowing me to get the gown I wanted to wear for tonight’s event.

Theodore swept over my direction and sighed, “You heard what I said?”

I nodded slowly. How couldn’t I hear it when he was speaking so loudly? Then again, this was a normal occurrence in this house. As soon as he became the Alpha of the Mooncrest Pack a year ago, he had always been moody. Nevertheless, I loved him so I didn’t say anything and just followed his words.

To me, it didn’t matter as long as we were married and bonded.

Theodore walked up to me. “You know I’m doing this for you, right? I don’t want other alphas looking at you with lustful gazes.”

My heart thumped at his possessiveness. “O-Of course…”

A part of me liked his protective nature knowing it was his way of showing he cared for me, but a small voice told me I wasn’t seeing the whole truth.

He reached my head and caressed my cheek before he kissed me on the lips. “Be a good wife and stay here.”

Before I could feel more of his warm touch, he pulled away and glanced at his wristwatch, “It’s almost time. I have to go. Don’t worry, I’ll be home before midnight.”

“Be careful,” I told him immediately. The last time he said the same words, he returned home around lunch time. That time, he said he encountered a rogue attack on his way home and even had to stop by the hospital to get his wounds treated. I never saw his wounds but I believed his words.

He was my husband and mate, after all.

Theodore patted my head, “I will be careful this time.”

My wolf stirred inside me. For some reason, it was telling me that my husband Theodore was lying.

No… He couldn’t be, right?

Theodore soon reached his car outside our pack house. His beta, Leo, and other guards he always took with him, joined him in.

I stood at the entrance and waved him goodbye. I could feel the servants gazing at my back, as though they also shared my worries inside.

I gave them a reassuring smile. “It’s okay, Alpha Theo is going to return home by midnight.”

Later, I proceeded to my room where I read my favorite books in geology and drew rock formations I was fond of. My parents died when I was still a pup but my aunt who raised me said they were both excellent hunters when they were still alive. I didn’t know why but ever since I came to learn they were hunters, I became naturally drawn to rocks. I took some geology courses before but when I married Theo, that had to be stopped. As he and his parents said, I had to focus on being his wife instead.

Although I stopped my studies, my fascination about geology didn’t falter. In contrary, it only increased as I started to gain more knowledge. Of course, none of it was known by Alpha Theo. But considering how busy he was as the Alpha, I doubt he would care if he knew.

I was about to flip another page of the book I was reading when suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

“Come in.”

One of the servants walked in and sped up to me, carrying an envelope, “Luna! Isn’t this Alpha Theo’s document?”

I stood up and took the brown document from her, reading its label. I gasped. It was indeed Theo’s and from what I remembered, it was the one thing he said he had to give to another pack’s Alpha for our upcoming allied charity program.

“Rey, can you drive me to the gala?” I asked the head guard to leave before I could think twice.

After trying to convince Rey, he finally agreed. He drove me to the gala and soon, I was already inside the grand building and looking for Theodore.

“He’s with the alpha princess of the Crimson Fall Pack,” one of the guests I knew said.

I said my thanks and headed to the direction they spoke of. I didn’t know why but I felt uncomfortable with the looks they were giving me. In addition, my wolf was moving inside me, prompting me to get faster for some strange reason.

“What’s wrong, Eya?” I asked my wolf.

Eya shivers deep inside my consciousness. It seemed to be groaning in pain.

Worried, I doubled my pace and finally reached the end of the hall where a room door stood. It was slightly opened and I slowly pushed it.

My heart felt as though it was caught up in my throat. Each step felt like an eternity as I walked further inside.

Then I stopped, my heart dropping as my eyes landed on the bed.

There, I saw Theodore pumping his member inside a naked woman’s intimate part. They were too consumed in lust that they failed to notice me.

My body went cold and trembled. The brown envelope slipped from my hands and fell to the floor. Although it was light as a feather, it managed to pull Theodore’s attention. He turned to me with wide eyes.

The naked woman quickly wrapped the blanket around her body. “Oh my gosh, who are you and why didn’t you knock?!”

It felt as though I was poured by a bucket of cold water as I realized who she was. Roxie Jones, the alpha princess of the Crimson Fall Pack.

“She’s my mate,” Theodore said abruptly, his voice deep and nonchalant.

Shock and disbelief painted my entire being while looking at him. “How is this possible… Alpha, I-I’m your wife and mate. We’re married and we–”

“Ugh, this again,” Theodore grunted. He looked incredibly pissed. “How can I accept a mate who hides things behind my back?”

I stared at him in confusion, “What are you saying? I’ve never lied—” I froze, realizing I had indeed kept something from him. Did he know I continued to study behind his back?

“You’ve kept it from me – you being cursed. Did you seriously think I won’t know?”

It was as though I was struck by lightning. “I don’t understand. What cursed? Who said—”

“Oh, come on, stop playing dumb already,” Roxie Jones, who stood next to him exclaimed in annoyance.

My blood boiled at her sight but the confusion in my head clouded my ability to comprehend what Theodore meant.

Cursed? Where did he get the idea that I was cursed?

“Don’t try to defend yourself, Dahlia. Your secret is out. You've been cursed since birth, it’s the reason why you have a very weak wolf and can’t hear my thoughts even when we’re bonded,” Theodore said and I felt my heart tremble.

When two mates bond, they form a special ability, and that is to hear each other’s voices without speaking directly.

It was something I was unable to do ever since Theodore and I bonded. Still, this wasn’t enough to prove I was cursed! My wolf, Eya, wasn’t weak.

“You are just going to bring bad luck to the pack,” Roxie said sternly as though to scold me. “You’re only going to make everyone suffer with your greed! Have some decency and don’t spread your disease here. Right, babe?”

Theodore hummed in agreement while she smiled in victory as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder.

Watching them flirt in front of me felt so suffocating. Tears fell down my cheeks and I stepped back, wanting to escape the nightmare I was in. But if their words and sickening display of affection before me weren’t enough, Theodore left the bed and slowly walked to me.

He stood tall and looked down at me. “Don’t make me repeat myself, Dahlia. You’re not fit to be my Luna. A cursed being like you don’t belong to my pack.”

His mistress snickered behind him. “You’re breaking her heart, babe. Come on, just reject her already.”

“Shut up,” he hissed. “I don’t need you telling me what to do.”

He then turned to me with deep coldness and hatred filling his eyes.

I trembled while staring at him in disbelief as I shook my head, “Please don’t do this, Theo… We’re married….”

He stared down at me sternly and let out a grunt. “Do you think I care about such things? In fact, marrying you is one of my biggest regrets.”

My heart throbbed at what he said but nothing could ever top the pain that shot me with his words that followed.

“I, Theodore Green, alpha of the Moon Crest Pack, reject you, Dahlia Snow as my mate and Luna.”

I felt myself gasping. In an instant, my knees weakened and my head spun, but before I could faint from the excruciating pain, I gathered all the strength I had and dashed to the door.

Because I saw them – rather, my wolf sensed them before I could.

There were guards outside, waiting for me – and Alpha Theo’s command.

“Don’t let her get away!” I heard Roxie shout from the room.

I shifted quickly, my feet finding their way out of the building through the exit.

“Get her!” Theodore ordered with his thundering deep voice.

My heart raced as my feet did, running through the woods as fast as I could.

They were all armed. I didn’t know how and why it had to come to this – but my husband and mate didn't only reject me.

He wished and planned to kill me.
