The Alpha’s Forgotten Mate

04: Gossips and Finding Out The Truth.

Rose’s POV

I had reluctantly accepted Harper’s baby despite the fact that it still hurt so much to think about the fact that my husband was having a child with someone else.

Accepting that fact was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do in my entire life and although everything seemed to be going well, I couldn’t help but feel like I was missing something.

A sixth sense kept whispering to me that something was terribly wrong somewhere, I tried to connect the dots but it just wasn’t connecting.

“Calm down, Rose,” I whispered to myself, trying as hard as I can to not think too much of the situation or be bothered by it.

“It’s fine, Harper will give birth to the child and she’ll leave and then you’ll go back to being happy with Xander.” I said to myself.

I’ve tried multiple times to console myself with the fact that I was going to feel the joy of raising a child but I couldn’t feel that excitement.

Something felt amiss and no matter how hard I tried to concentrate on the tons of responsibilities I have at hand, I couldn’t fill that void.

“Concentrate.” I repeated to myself like it was some sort of mantra and forced myself into concentrating on my work as the Luna so as not to bring up any unnecessary tension.

“How could she be so naive?” I heard one of the maids behind me whisper as soon as I walked past them and I was forced to stop in my tracks briefly.

“Tell me about it,” another said, “I don’t know how she could be so calm about it when it’s so clear that they’ll be a new Luna.” She added.

“She knows she’s going to be overthrown, she’s probably just pretending to still be Luna in public.” Another spoke up.

Turning to face them, they soon noticed my presence and I didn’t need to speak up before they all scampered out of the hallway.

Rushing as fast as they could, they ran until I couldn’t see them again and as much as I tried not to feel affected by them, I couldn’t help but wonder.

What are they talking about? There’s no way that there’s going to be a new Luna.

I’m the only Luna, they probably just don’t know what they’re talking about.

I had no idea how far and wide the rumors I’d heard this morning had spread around until I went to the market place for a few inspections.

The gazes on me were intense and I just couldn’t shake off the feeling of people whispering and talking about me.

I turned around to see them pointing fingers at me and it got so humiliating and unbearable that I couldn’t stand it anymore.

Walking as fast as I could, I regretted choosing my legs for a means of transportation because I had to deal with the constant whispers and finger pointing.

I need to talk to Xander about this because it’s just so embarrassing.

Finally getting home, I was breathless because I’d resorted to running back to the house and now my breath was caught in my throat.

The gazes in the house weren’t different either, they all looked like they knew something but were scared to say anything.

Making my way up the stairs in search of Xander, I stopped in my tracks when I heard funny noises coming from my room, the same room that I’ve always shared with Xander.

I listened carefully and there was no doubt about what I’d heard, there were the sounds of a feminine moan and a little creaking sound too.

I tried to ignore it, I tried not to think too much about it despite the fact that my heart wasn’t just racing but it also felt as though someone had dug a stake into my chest.

My stomach curled and as much as I tried to ignore the strange noises, my feet betrayed me and I soon found myself going in the direction of the room.

“Yes, f**k—“ the sound grew louder and the voices became clearer as I got closer, “your p***y is so f*****g tight.” I heard a familiar male voice say and my heart plummeted to my stomach.

There’s no way I’d heard right. There is no way it’s who and what I think it is.

“I know, daddy,” another familiar voice said, “your c**k is huge.” She declared as she moaned and not long after, I was standing by the door.

My hands shook and my knees were beginning to feel weak as I reached to turn the doorknob and I had no idea how much tears had welled up in my eyes until I stepped in the room.

There were clothes scattered all over the floor and on the bed was Xander, cupping Harper’s boobs as she rode his c**k like her life depended on it.

Their moans and groans grew louder and I didn’t need a soothsayer to tell me how immersed in their s****l act they were.

“f**k, I’m coming.” Xander groaned and I was going to turn around and walk away but I couldn’t do that because my feet were glued to the ground as I watched them satisfy each other.

“Wh—“ My voice shook, I was still trying to find it, “XANDER!” I yelled and they immediately stopped the free porno show they were putting up for me.

Neither of them knew when I walked in, they were both sweaty and shocked, “WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!” I asked with my eyes wide and the veins in my head feeling as though they were going to pop.

“What did you see?” Harper asked as she got out of bed, not minding her nakedness as she stood in front of me.

“What you saw is what is going on, Xander and I were having s*x,” she added and my eyes moved from her to Xander who didn’t even make an attempt to stop Harper from disrespecting me.

“Come on, don’t tell me you’re that naive,” Harper laughed, throwing her head back as she ran her fingers through her hair.

“You really think I came here to give you my baby?” She asked amidst laughter and my mouth opened but I found it difficult to let any words out.

“I came here to take your spot, Rose, and you should be cool with it considering how f*****g useless you are.” She went on and I stood there, taking the insults thrown at me.

“You can’t even give birth to Xander’s child, you’re incapable of giving this pack a heir. You’re Barren and Xander doesn’t deserve to be with an empty vessel like yourself.” She spat.

My heart tightened and I saw tiny flickers of light flashing right before my eyes. I felt like I was losing my mind, I was dead, I just hadn’t dropped to the ground yet.

“What is she talking about, Xander?” I asked as I turned my gaze to Xander. I had no idea why but I tried to take a step closer to him until I felt a hard pull on my hair.

“WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU’RE GOING?!” Harper bellowed, her grip around my hair tightening as she pulled me back.

“Get out of here and come back when we’ve had our orgasm!” She yelled, finally releasing her grip on my hair and pushing me so hard that I collided with the opened door.

The impact was so intense that I heard a loud ringing in my head and soon there was a rush. My eyes rolled, I felt dizzy and it didn’t take long for the blood to trickle down my face.

“Fuck.” I groaned as I touched my head and looked at my hand to see it covered in blood.

Looking back up, Harper’s smile widened but Xander looked mortified. I was losing blood and I knew it.

Swallowing, I turned around and made my way outside the house but stopped when I got to the doorpost and turned to look at them with a smile.

“You’re not going to get away with this,” the words grinded between my teeth as they came out, “you both are going to regret every single thing you’ve done.”
