“Ma, I am on my way to the office” Tessa cut through her statement.“Who told you are still needed in the company, you big bag of worthlessness!” Candice scolded.Tessa felt the strong urge to stretch her hands through her phone screen and slap Candice.She had never in her life felt insulted before. She compared her life in her pack as a Luna, and imagined what would have been done to Candice or anyone who could ever dare to insult her.Torture, would have become her second name.“I am on my way.” Tessa replied. It was all she could think of as a reply.Tessa took a deep breath, stared at the digits on her table, and was nearly tempted to pick it up and call Chris.“No” Tessa yelled at her self, and summoned up the courage to stand up from the couch.She held onto the wall to avoid from falling down and strolled to her room.Her room was surprisingly still in it’s messy state, the state it had been when she was jumping on her bed after receiving the acceptance mail.Tessa pulled out
"Congratulation, Luna. According to the test, you are three months pregnant." The pack doctor announced as she placed the test results on the table for Tessa to see.Tessa was stunned for a moment. She was unable to speak. But when she recovered from her initial shock, she picked up the result. However, she could not understand what the medical terms on the result meant.So, she looks up at the doctor. Her expression was full of disbelief as she pointed at herself and asked, "I'm pregnant?"The doctor, Susan nodded. Her face was full of smiles as she looked at Tessa. She knew this news was bound to make her delighted. After all, it was what she wished for the most. She had been trying to give birth to a child for the Alpha to no avail.Sure enough, after Tessa got the doctor's confirmation, she instantly sprang up from her seat. She seemed especially excited as she grabbed her handbag from the chair.Then, she beamed at Susan. "I got to go. I have to share the good news with Chris."T
Tessa turned the omelet in the pan again before placing it on a clean porcelain plate. Then, she grabbed the two plates of omelet and left the kitchen.As she stepped into the dining room, she could see two figures seated around the table. Chris was seated at the head of the table while her sister, Mona sat on the seat on his left.They were smiling as they chatted. Their voices were low in a whisper and Tessa couldn't hear their words clearly but she was sure they were flirting. Sure enough, Chris lifted his palm which was initially on the table and he reached for Mona's lap.Tessa's heart stung and a deep sense of anger arose within her. She felt stupid. They had been acting like that a long time back. The discreet touches and the flirty winks. But, how did she manage to miss those actions?It was the day before that Tessa found out about their affair and she left home in denial. But after a few hours of walking around the beach and crying to vent her anger, she eventually calmed do
Tessa's hand stilled. She looked up at him and her gaze darkened. He had stood up so he was now looking down at her. But regardless, she didn't lose out in any way. This was because she seemed extremely annoyed and aggravated.Indeed, Tessa already had enough. She had been enduring their actions since yesterday because she was trying to think of the next step for her and her unborn child. But, she couldn't keep up with it any longer.She sprang up from her seat and grabbed the plate. Then, she looked at him with a ridiculing gaze.She spat, "You can go hungry if you don't want to eat. So ungrateful. I woke up early to make you breakfast but all I get is you telling me I'm bad at cooking."She packed up the plates and sneered, "Since my cooking sucks that much, then don't it. I'll just consider it as though my good intentions were fed to a dog."Chris was stunned by her words. His expression was that of disbelief as she looked at her. She had called him a dog.She even dared to say it
Despite her expectations on his act, Tessa still felt a piercing pain in her heart. She knew he was not remorseful about cheating on her. Yet, she still felt a pang of pain upon hearing his words.The feeling of getting stabbed in the back like that was not a good feeling. It felt extremely terrible.She had expected his actions. But still, how could be not feel any ounce of connection or guilt for what he had done to her?‘’I don’t need you anymore.’’ Chris started as he stared intently into her hazel colored eye..Tessa did not want to look into his eyes, but she caught herself doing it. The eyes that once ran over her body and looked at her with love and care in them. Those same eyes that got her living the best life were now staring at her with utmost anger in them.She had never felt so betrayed in her life.Deep down, Tessa felt the urge to reveal to Chris that she was pregnant with his child and end the whole drama. But she managed to restrain herself from doing so.As she sta
‘’Yes, I do.’’ Tessa finally uttered with her eyes still fixed on the Elder who asked the question.The Elder turned to Chris and said to him, "You know what to do now Alpha."Chris nodded, showing his understanding. Then, he turned towards Tessa and announced, "I, Chris Donovan hereby reject you Tessa Williams as my mate and Luna from this moment onwards."Tessa stumbled back almost immediately. She felt a numbing pain assault her whole body. She screamed out from the pain and squatted in a corner.Everyone was watching her quietly. But, no one stepped out to console or ease her pain.Slowly, the assaulting pain began to lessen. Tessa heaved breathlessly feeling more lightweight. She felt as though something had been broken inside her.The elder officiating the ceremony walked toward her and stopped in front of her. He looked downwards at her and said, "It's your turn to reject the Alpha now."Tessa nodded, understanding his words. Then, she sat up and looked at Chris. Then, she mutt
Tessa had cuddled herself up on her bed. Her pillow and duvet was drenched with tears. Even though, she had not thrown a tantrum, she was unable to accept the situation yet. She was unable to process it that her husband was really cheating on her.And, that he was gone. He was gone from her side.Tessa did not realize that she had slept off with tears in her eyes. Until, she woke up to the slow moaning sounds coming from where seemed to be her marital bed room. Her bedroom was right beside the guestroom she was in so she could hear the sounds especially clear. Tessa felt another pain assault her. It was blinding and overwhelming. She was unable to breath for sometime and it felt as though something was being pulled out of her roughly.It was then she realized something. It seemed Chris and Mona had been having sex all these time that she occasionally felt pain from time to time. It seemed she was being fooled for a long time.She felt betrayed and used. Once again, the tears begun to
Luckily for Tessa, she found a taxi which was on a midnight journey to New York. She didn't have enough cash on her to take a plane.At first, she was full of vigor and had a plan to follow. But, she soon remembered that she had no one where she was going. She had no place to stay for the night.She contemplated for sometime and decided to stay in an hotel for the night. Then, she would think of what to do when morning came.By the time she arrived at New York, the time was already 6am. She breathed in the new tranquil scent as she stepped down from the cab and was welcomed by a ‘welcome to New York city’ sign board.Having no where to go, Tessa asked a random man at the reception of the bus top, on where she could go next.‘’Wow, we have a new arrival.’’ The old man who sat behind the desk smiled at her.Tessa smiled back at him. "Please I am new here, do you know where I can get an accommodation? Like an hotel or something? Tessa asked with a yawn, she was tired.The man smiled back
