His Evil-Sweet Luna

Chapter 6

-Ashton-

My mate had woken up in a strange mood. She was all over the place, and it was annoying me. I knew Sienna loved her games, but this was ridiculous. But what was more confusing was that she had wanted to share her food earlier, and now that I smelled the air surrounding her, she still smelled like me. Had she not showered yet?

She always showered right after we had been together, those few times we actually were. I had promised her that as long as we shared her heats together, I would say nothing about the rest. About all her… visits to other people. I would let her have her freedom as she wanted. I knew it was all I could do.

I could not reject her. I loved her too much. She made me love her in a sick way. Also, my wolf was too attached. She had played me well, and as an Alpha, I grew much more attached than most. I couldn’t get out, and I feared even trying to. Breaking a true bond had very severe consequences, and I had a pack relying on me.

So, we had made an agreement. She would give me that heir, and I would say nothing about… her outings, yet the pain had pretty much turned my wolf into an animal. He thought as well that she would be the one when we met back when we were only 20 and 21, but we were mistaken.

I opened the door to my room, carrying some flowers. My mate had been drawing away from me more and more these last few months. I did not know why, and I tried hard to figure out why. Yet so far, I had not been able to get an answer from her. She was just shutting me out without warning.

However, I was determined to fix it, and so I walked into our room, expecting her there, but the sight I was met with was much worse than anything in the world. In our bed, she was on her hands and knees while some stranger f*cked her from behind.

I dropped the flowers. The sound caught her attention, and she opened her eyes and smiled before moaning louder. I could not move at first, and she did not seem to want to stop.

Do something! Kill him! my wolf growled.

I growled darkly, my instincts reacting, and the walls shook. It shocked them both, as they felt my power. I ran over there, grabbing the guy and pulling him away from her before throwing him to the ground. He was a coward, though, and did not want to fight me. He crawled away, but I was a possessive Alpha and ready to tear him apart.

“Ash!”

Sienna got in the way, sheets wrapped around her now, and she placed her hands on my chest. It helped me focus, and the guy grabbed his clothes and sped out of there. He was nothing but a low-ranking wolf, and while I wanted Sienna’s touch, all I could see now that I looked at her was her getting f*cked in our bed. I pushed her away, looking at her like I didn’t know her.

“What the f*ck?” I asked. “Who was that? Tell me he forced you!”

“No,” she responded, her smile unwavering.

“I invited him up here. I asked him to f*ck me,” she confessed with chilling nonchalance.

“Why?” I stammered, my voice betraying the fear and agony slicing through me, fracturing my heart.

“Because I wanted him to.”

“But we’re... Why would you do that?”

“Why wouldn’t I?” Her response cut through me like a knife.

Who was this person before me? It felt as if a stranger had usurped the body of my mate.

“Sienna, we’re mates,” I reminded her.

“And?” she asked.

“We love each other,” I pleaded.

“Not really.”

“What?” Disbelief laced my words.

“I wanted to be Luna. You wanted me. Easy fix. But I don’t love you. If I want some other wolf to f*ck me, he can.”

Her callousness stunned me. My mate had never spoken like this before. Each word pierced me like a dagger, leaving me feeling weaker than ever.

“Sienna...”

“I don’t love you, Ash, and I never have.” Her words shattered me, bringing me to my knees, unable to bear the weight of her betrayal. How could words inflict such pain?

“I... I don’t understand.”

“I wanted the title. Now I have it.”

I shook my head in denial, but the truth loomed over me like a specter, mocking my ignorance.

“How could you?” I whispered.

“Oh, please. Before me, a woman had never even touched you,” she sneered. “You should be grateful I took care of that little detail for you. Now, I want to have some fun.”

It was true. She was my first. Despite being a powerful Alpha, I sought what my parents had: a true bond.

“Sienna,” I whispered.

“Oh, don’t give me that look. You had your fun. Now it’s my turn,” she laughed, walking away to shower. I stood there, immobilized, feeling like a statue. Was this the sensation of a broken heart?

I gazed at Sienna, now 27, while I was 28. Time had passed since I first caught her, but her dalliances had only increased. I remained focused on my duties as Alpha as she vanished with her lovers or caroused with her shallow friends, all to elevate her status. Despite her façade, I knew her true nature, yet she remained my mate.

“What... game?” she asked, feigning ignorance.

Her ignorance grated on my nerves.

“Enough,” I said wearily.

“I...”

“I won’t discuss your affairs or the countless lovers.”

“The what?”

“No, I’m sure you know the number, but I’ve lost count,” I retorted sharply.

“Lost... How many...” she trailed off, averting her gaze momentarily. Then, with a hint of disgust, she shook her head and refocused on me. “We’re true mates, right?”

“Last time I checked.”

“But I have lovers?”

“Yes...” I sighed, reluctant to prolong the conversation.

“And you allow this?”

I huffed, noticing the shock on her face.

“Are you serious?” I asked, further surprising her.
