The Betrayed Luna They Want

CHAPTER FOUR.

MICHELLE’s POV.

As soon as I lower myself on the bed, my mobile begins to beep. Seeing it was one of Nicholas’s lawyers, I let out a heavy sigh before clicking on the receive button.

“Hello”

“Madam, sir Nicholas sent over the divorce papers via email. I think we should meet and discuss how to settle this. He want to add more alimony for you”

“You can go ahead and process it. Mind you, I am not in need of the alimony, he can keep his money for all I care”

“Why don’t you tell me your location, I will come over”

“You don’t have to meet me, Mr Smith” I tell him, “just do as Nicolas has told you, I am not in the mood to meet anyone from his side.

I immediately end the call and I fling the phone on the bed as my mind drifts off to Nicholas again.

All my life, I thought I married the perfect gentleman and alpha. The man who was rude to others but gentle with me. I saw Nicholas as a god and this is what he does to me. The more I think about it, the more angry I get.

I gently hold onto my tummy and let out a small sigh, I have to do everything to make sure my baby lives. I can not lose this baby now.

My thoughts are interrupted again and I was thinking it was the lawyer but it was Nicholas’s sister. One of the best persons I have come across in my life. She treats me far better than her brother even if she was lower in rank than him and he also loved her a lot.

But right now I am not sure why she is calling me. I don’t know if she will actually take her brother’s side. I want to end the call but on impulse I stop myself before clicking on the receive button again.

“Luna” her voice reach my ears, “where are you, Michelle? I came over to the pack house and you are not here, you are not at the mansion either. Where the hell are you?”

“Are you that worried about me?” I can’t help but ask her, how I wish Nicholas is the one looking out for me like this, how I wish he is the one worried and not his sister.

“Of course” she snaps out, “i saw your sister though”

My heart skips a beat, I am not sure if Natalia has told her everything.

“You met her? What did she say?”

“Just tell me where you are, Mish. I will come to meet you, I will only feel better when I see you with my eyes.

I roll my eyes, I am actually not in the mood to see anyone right now but if I keep refusing her, she might actually suspect something.

“I am at the royal oaks hotel, I will text you my room number”

“You do that”

As I end the call and press my head against the pillow, tears well up in my eyes again. I can not stop crying, not after what Nicholas has done to me. How can he do something like that to me?

He allowed another woman to come between us and that is something I will not be able to forgive him for no matter what.

My thoughts are interrupted when my mobile begins to beep. Seeing it was Nicholas, I push myself to a sitting position before picking up the phone.

For a moment, I continue to stare back at the screen, unable to decide if I should pick the call or not. How dare he call me after what he has done?

“Won’t you answer?” My wolf asks me, “don’t you think this is an opportunity for you to tell him everything?”

“How sure are you?” I mutter under my breath and sniff back a tear.

Bracing myself, I click on the receive button and press the phone against my ear.

“Hello”

“I can see how shameless you are, Michelle” Natalia’s voice reaches my ears, “you think going around and telling Nicholas’s family will change a thing?”

“What rubbish are you talking about?” I ask her with a frown on my face.

“You must have sounded so pathetic I guess” she scoffs, “but let me tell you something, you can not get Nicholas anymore. No matter what you do, he belongs to me now. I will suggest you stay away from him and make sure to use the alimony well. I don’t want you coming back for more”

I don’t even bother to answer her before ending the call. Natalia would never change despite being the eldest.

I quickly send my room number to Nicholas’s sister before making my way into the washroom. I can not keep crying over the fact that I am already divorced. I have my baby to protect now and I am going to do that with the last drop of my blood.

*****

I am not sure how long I was in the shower but when I walk out of the bathroom, Lucy was already sitting on my bed. I guess I forgot to lock my door.

“You forgot to lock your door again, Luna” she says out loud, “how can you be so forgetful, Michelle? How do you even cope with such things?”

“Why are you here, Lucy?” I ask her while lowering myself on the couch opposite the bed, “you don’t have to be here”

“I came to check on you, Luna”

The name Luna suddenly cringes me out, this is a name I have loved to hear from the mouth of the pack members for years now, I suddenly hate it. How can things change so fast? How can everything become so different in just a day?

I let out a heavy sigh, the moon goddess sure knows how to make a mess of everything she created.

“Luna…

I immediately interrupt her, “don’t call me Luna, Lucy. I am sure you already know that I have already signed the divorce papers. I am no longer married to your brother and I am no longer the luna of the pack”

“You moved on so fast, Michelle”

“I did?” I scoff as I take my fingers through my hair, “shouldn’t you be telling this to your brother? The one who brought his ex-girlfriend into our matrimonial home?”

“You have known Nicholas for three years, mish” Lucy continues, “you know what kind of person he is, I think you should…

I cut her short again, “and Natalia has known him longer than that” I blurt in anger, “don’t you think you are being biased right now Lucy? Your brother is the one who brought her back into our lives. Our three years meant nothing to him. You should be reprimanding him and not me, it is my fault. The only thing I did was love him and be there for him these past few days. I never for once complained about how he handles the pack? I always supported him and this is how he pays me back?”

“You speak like you know Nicholas in and out”

“I am surprised you are taking his side this time, Lucy” I am getting more frustrated than I should be. She should be taking my side, why is she supporting her brother?

“Natalia is pregnant for him, Michele” she says, “even if I don’t like that b***h, I can not deny the fact that she is carrying the future alpha of our pack. Nicholas has wanted a child for years now, I am sure you understand why he did what he did”

“What?” I tug at my already disheveled hair, is she being serious right now?”

“I actually thought you were worried about me, I guess the baby on the way is what all of you care about”

“You know how much I adore you, mish. I think Nicholas is just being sensitive right now. I will talk to him and you both can…

“Get out!!” I am done listening to her speak so highly of her brother. I have always seen Lucy as the elder sister Natalia was and I learnt a lot from her as one of the strongest betas of our pack, I didn’t expect her to switch sides so soon.

“What?” Lucy looks suprised, “i should get out?”

“If you are going to keep singing Nicholas’s praises, I think you should get out” i half yell while glaring at her, she shouldn’t be doing this in the first place. I am the one who was wronged, how could she? I also have his baby growing inside of me don’t I?

“Leave Lucy, you deserve to be with Natalia and not me, I mean nothing to you after all”
