Chapter 04- Hardest Decision

TYLER:

I laid down on the couch thinking about Emily. What have I done? It was all a fucking mistake and I shouldn't have let it happen. I was worried about her.

I walked out of the house, waiting outside, but there was still no sign of her. Could she be in danger? How could I have let myself get used up?

I tried to mind-link her, but she kept stopping me from reaching her. I knew it was an intentional act, and it was making me mad at everything.

"Honey, why are you still up this late?" I turned back to stare at my mom when I heard her and immediately looked away. She caused all of this, she fucking caused it all.

"Not now mom, I need to go look for my wife," I said.

"Your wife? Which wife? The witch you kept in your house as a wife? Grow up Tyler and open your eyes before it's too late."

I shut my eyes tight and clutched my hands because I didn't want to lose my mind. "Don't call my wife a witch, mom. Don't disrespect her cause she's still my wife and Luna of my pack. She deserves your respect." 

"She bewitched you, son. You're feared, and strong but still yet you have no heir. What are your rivals saying out there, Tyler? You're being made fun of, and yet you sit back with her and do nothing? Grow up Tyler, grow up." She yelled before walking away.

I wanted to yell so loud because I could do nothing but watch my home slowly crumble into pieces. One thing I wasn't going to do was abandon Emily, not after all that we have been through together.

As I turned to walk back into the house, I felt her presence and immediately turned backward. There she was, still in her wolf form with her golden yellow eyes that always attracted me to her.

"Emily," I called softly and ran towards her.

Immediately I lowered myself to her level and touched her white furs, she changed back into her human form. I could see bruises all over her arms. She had hurt herself because she was hurt.

I took off my jacket and used it to cover her body since she was naked and lifted her in my arms. She didn't fight back but instead allowed me to carry her in my arms till I got to the room.

I placed her on the bed and gently kissed her forehead, then I lay next to her.

"Emily," I called softly, but she turned her back on me, using the duvet to cover herself properly on the bed. I could tell she was crying and it hurt me deeply. It was all my fault.

"If there's any way I can prove to you that I'm sorry, I'll do it. Please, forgive my mistake." I begged, but she still didn't bulge. Maybe giving her some time alone would be the best option.

I rose on my feet, and stared at her for some seconds before turning and walking out of the room.

***

Emily;

I could feel my heart burning. I hated what I was doing, but it was the only way to show Tyler that he hurt me. What about my little unborn pup? Tears rolled down my eyes till I found myself slowly falling into darkness.

I woke up the next morning with a sour body. My entire internal organs felt like they were being burnt. I felt so sick and weak. 

I managed to stand up on my feet after so much effort. When I looked at the left position of the bed, I suddenly recalled Tyler and heaved deeply. I could have called Anita for comfort, but she's pretty far away and is still healing after the rejection.

I sluggishly walked out of the room.

"Emily.." I heard Tyler's voice, but I ignored him and went straight to the fridge to get myself a glass of water. After gulping down half of it from the glass, I still wasn't feeling alright.

The door opened and Dale walked in. "Alpha, you have a message." He informed me.

Tyler wanted to dismiss him, but I told him to go ahead and say whatever message he had.

"Alpha Damon has requested your presence today." 

"Alpha Damon?" The name sounded familiar, but I still couldn't figure out who he was. When Dale walked out, I faced Tyler.

"Who's he?"

"He's nobody," Tyler replied, standing up on his feet. 

"You wanna start hiding things from me?"

He shut his eyes as he came closer to me. "Emily, can we forget the past and just move on? It was just a silly one-night stand and nothing more, I promise." He said, wrapping his arms around my waist.

Even after what he did to me, I was still finding it hard to stay away from him. This was enough evidence that I loved Tyler so much. He pulled me into an embrace, rubbing my hair gently. "Thank you, thank you for understanding Emily."

I didn't utter a word. His mother came down the stairs and when she saw us, she hissed loudly before walking away.

After all that happened, I decided to tell Tyler about my pregnancy. If that would keep our marriage and make his mother accept me, then I would break my promise to Anita and tell him.

"Tyler, I need to tell you something tonight," I said, and he immediately nodded.

"Why not now?"

"It's more of a surprise, so let's make it tonight okay." 

He touched my cheeks and kissed my forehead while I forced out a smile.

Tyler and I were getting prepared for a visit to the Silver Crest pack. He didn't want me to come, but I insisted on coming with him because I didn't want him to make another mistake again.

We finally arrived and we were taken to the alpha's home. He was quite familiar, but when I couldn't remember where I had seen him, I decided to forget about it.

Tyler greeted him before we both took our seats on the couch. "Go bring my daughter." He informed one of the omegas around.

Immediately Tyler and I saw her, Kathleen nearly went mad and out of control. She had a smile that portrayed she had finally won the battle. Tyler wanted to stand up on his feet, but I forced him to take his seat back.

She came towards him and touched his hand while he sneered angrily at her.

It was hard seeing her lay a finger on my husband, but I held in the pain and anger.

"My daughter's pregnant, and she says it's yours." Alpha Damon announced. I thought I didn't hear him right, no, I definitely didn't hear him right.

I stared at Tyler expecting him to say a word, but he was speechless. What the hell was I expecting? 

"If you're willing to reject her, then you'll also be rejecting the baby too. You know the right thing to do, Alpha Tyler. Come and take responsibility for your actions." He warned.

He rose on his feet afterward and walked out leaving just the three of us. I scoffed aloud, staring at the bitch sent by the devil.

"Tyler," I called his name, but he still didn't say a word. Who was I kidding, after he had heard that she was pregnant, of course,he would completely change.

Tears dampened the corners of my eyes as I stared at him. Was this the end? The end of my marriage? The end of our love? What was Tyler going to decide this time around?

I knew exactly what was running through his mind, but deep down I hoped he would fight it. Fight the temptation and choose me, choose our love and our marriage.
