Worshipped By The Alphas

Daciana's POV My eyes kept moving up to the wall clock no matter how I tried to stop it. For five minutes, I had looked at the wall clock more than eighty times. That's because Eden wasn't home yet and it's our anniversary today. I had prepared his favorite, I can't wait for his arrival. Dressed in a black mixed-with-cream design gown, I waited patiently. When I heard the sound of the doorknob, I quickly made my way to the door and pushed it open, "Eden, happy—" I paused when I saw who was with him. My jaws clenched along with my fingers as I tried to act nonchalant. "Nikini," I smiled and she sneered, "Hello, dearest sister…" I forced out a smile as we both exchanged pleasantries. I moved to the side when I noticed that Eden was trying to get inside with Nikini beside him. I walked behind them as I said, "Welcome home Eden, I prepared your favorite. It's our—" he cut me off by saying, "Send it to my room. I will be really busy tonight so I don't think I need to be disturbed for the rest of the day" "Huh, okay but today is—" "Tomorrow is the gala. Tomorrow is more important than whatever today is" Eden said as he turned to face me. My heart broke because, to me, our anniversary was more important than any gala whatsoever. We've been married for three years now and what I expected was for him to remember our anniversary and celebrate it like our wedding but this time, with me alone. I watched him take off his shoes, then his coat which he passed to me. I held his coat as I watched him take off his wristwatch and pass it to me. All these while, Nikini with folded hands stared at me with a small smirk on her lips. "Hope you are ready for tomorrow? As the Luna, your presence is needed. You know that, right?" My heart skipped a bit when he said that to me and I wondered why. I have been the Luna of the pack for three years now but I still haven't gotten used to the position. Why? Because I don't feel I am. Eden never treats me like one, neither do my sister or the servants in the pack house. Eden made them see me like an ordinary girl, more of a servant than a Luna. "But Eden, it's our anniversary today. Don't you—" "And so?" He spat angrily, making me take a step backward. I wanted to tell him that my anniversary with him was more important than any gala whatsoever but I shut my mouth. "Daciana, I really do not want to shout this evening. All I need is rest. To serve the food you prepared and bring it to my room, okay?" I nodded, at least he was going to eat my food. I was going up to his room to drop his coat and wristwatch when Nikini stopped me, "Daciana," I turned to her, and she walked over to me and took the coat and wristwatch from me. I raised my brows at her, she said, "Why don't you go get the food while I help you drop this in Eden's room instead? It will only make your work easier," I know others would thank her and feel relieved that was helping but not me. And definitely not Nikini. We were sisters but of different blood, as she never acknowledged me as her sister so I stopped seeing her as mine as well "You don't have to worry. I can take my husband's things to his room, myself" I rolled my eyes at her. "She said husband," she murmured with a chuckle loud enough for me to hear. Squinting my eyes, I asked, "And what's that supposed to mean?" "That's enough, Daciana. Hand the things over to Nikini and get me some food. She is only trying to help" Eden instructed "But—" "Now Daciana!" His voice was so authoritative that I gulped before handing the things to Nikini. She collected them with a smirk on her face. I was about to leave in anger when she said, "While serving his food, add mine to it. I'd like to eat with my brother in law" Although it was a smile that was on her face, I could only see a devilish grin plastered on that ugly face of hers. I almost let out a chuckle. Who would do that? Instead, I would serve myself and my husband only and we are going to be eating together today. It was our anniversary after all. Making my way to the kitchen, I dished the food before heading to Eden's room. From the stairs, I could hear laughter coming from the room. I rolled my eyes before knocking on the door. It took a while before Nikini came to open the door. I was about to go in but she stopped me, "What is this?" I asked her and she shrugged taking the food from me. "Thank you," she replied. She was about to close the door but I blocked it with my hands. With force, I pushed the door open and stepped in "What is the meaning of this?" Eden asked. I didn't know how to react because stepping into the room, Eden was shirtless. Why would he be shirtless in front of my sister? He didn't even allow me to stay around when he was dressing up. "I…I… brought our… food," I tried to ignore the fact that he was shirtless when Nikini was in the room. "Our food? Or I and Nikini's food?" He asked and I looked up at him. "Eden, it's our anniversary!" I tried not to scream but I couldn't beat the pain I was feeling. Was he planning to eat with Nikini and not me, his wife? "Oh shut up! You should have known by now that I don't give a f**k about that anniversary of a thing. I will advise you to get yourself busy by preparing for tomorrow's gala. The lycan king will be coming. I want all the dishes prepared by you! At least that's something you can do very well, cook. So go make yourself useful!"
