OCTAVIA POV
The darkness is cool, calm, sovering, and for a moment it feels like all my problems has disappeared, then all of a sudden there is a loud bang on my door and I open my eyes to my white ceiling.
Last night was a disaster, Eren went full ballistic on me.
The bruises he left on my neck are still pretty fresh.
My body hurts and my head aches with unimaginable pain.
Everything still seems fresh in my mind. I remember as my life flashed through my eyes, while I was being suffocated.
The way he dug his nails into my tender fresh with reckless abandon, unbothered by my feelings.
I begged him, crying my eyes out but he wouldn't release his strangle hold on me,
I thought I was going to die but then at the last second he let go of me and ran out in horror.
I remember being frozen in fear through out the night and I ended on sleeping on the floor.
Eren really is a devil, and I don't think I can continue this marriage, he might just kill me one of these days.
" Octavia open the door " I hear Luna Lora voice command from the other side of the door.
Without hesitation I rise to my feet, dusting myself up and rushing to open, only to get the shock of my life.
" Good morning mother" I greet abasely as I open the door, only for her to land me a solid slap across my face.
" What is good about the morning?" She ask with gigantic frown, confusing the hell out of me.
We didn't have any problems last night so her strange behavior scares the hell out of me.
" Did I do something wrong?" I question as I rub my bruised cheek in disbelief.
" What haven't you done wrong?. How dare you deprive your husband from his marital rights" She thunders acrimoniously at me, consequently shunning me.
" How did you know?" I ask nonplussed
" I know everything Octavia" She informs arrogantly.
I can't believe Eren discussed our s*x life with his mom. He really isn't man enough. Which right thinking man would discuss what happens between him and his spouse behind closed doors with his mom.
The more I get to know about this Eren guy the more I am reposted by him.
" He told you, didn't he?" I ask disgusted to which she has no answers
" Unbelievable. You two had no right to discuss my s*x life" I grumble bitterly
" That is not the point Octavia. We didn't marry you, for you to sit around and look pretty. We need you to procreate" She says with a frown
" Procreate!!!" I exclaim confused " Hold on, that wasn't our agreement. We didn't say anything about having children. Need I remind you I only married your son, Eren to cover the shame he brought upon me and this entire pack with your help"
" Well, plans change. I want grandchildren, and you are going to help me with that" She says arrogantly, making me laugh.
" I am not going to do any such thing. I refuse to have anything to do with your son, apart from this fake marriage" I inform looking her dead in the eyes. I have had enough of this woman.
" And I say you would do as I wish if you want your mom to life. I mean it would be a shame if a little accident were to happen at the hospital which could lead to her untimely demise" She threatens with a serious demeanor.
" Is that a threat?" I ask as my eyes start to water.
" It's a warning. Don't cross me Octavia. I am not nice" She reminds as she takes a seat on my couch
This woman really is a monster, I can't believe she will willingly hurt her own childhood bestfriend.
" Aren't you tire of blackmailing me aunt?. What did I ever do to you?" I ask in tears
" Oh Octavia, quit the innocent girl act, it doesn't suit you" She says mockingly as she rolls her eyes "Tell you what?. Since I am so nice, I am willing to give you an escape route out of this marriage. All you have to do is bore Eren an heir. A strong son that would continue his legacy as the first ever lycan/ vampire alpha" She says and I am starting to see why she chose me for her son in the first place. It's because I am a hybrid vampire, she must have anticipated that the seed of a lycan and half vampire would ensure her supremacy for all time.
" And in exchange I will fund your mother's kidney transplant. I will equally ask Eren to divorce you and I will give you the sum of $2,000,000, so you could start your life over somewhere far" She adds, plaguing my interest. Indeed her offer is tempting, I would love nothing more than leaving this place and life behind.
How ever for an offer that is too good to be true like this one, there are normally so many down sides.
For one, there is no assurance that she would keep her promise, considering the snake that she is, and even if she did keep her promise, there is no assurance to I can mother a child for Eren.
Vampires are Known to be undead, reproduction for us is almost impossible, but luckily my wolf side compliments for that, then there's Eren, a lycan. Lycans are known to be the highest species that don't copulate with other species.
Which means that even if we have s*x 10 times per day, 365 days a year, for 10 years, the chances of him fertilizing one of my eggs are 0.99%.
Those odds aren't good but I don't think I have any better options.
" What are you thinking of Octavia?" I hear her ask, consequently pulling me out of my thoughts.
" I am just wondering if I can trust you" I confess, nothing this woman says move me. She is a lieing snake and deserves to be treated as such.
" Why?. Do you need a contract to verify the authenticity of words" She doubts
" Yes" I inform nonchalantly.
She looks at me with an impressed smile as she walks towards me.
" I will send you a copy of our contract before nightfall" She says "Oh in the meantime, try to avoid Eren. He's in a fowl mood, it wouldn't end well for you"
She warns before walking out, and I let out a breathe of relief.
••���������•••••••••••••••••••••
Throughout the day I don't see Eren, not once. He doesn't come down for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Not that that bothers me I will most likely prefer to never see that stupid face again.
But I am puzzled by something, I have been working for years in this mansion but not once have I ever seen Eren eat in public, I wonder why.
It might be due to some superiority complex. You know, alpha's always pretending to be perfect.
Well enough of that, being Luna isn't easy at all, who knew there is a correct way to smile, blush and laugh.
Training isn't easy at all, imagine having to smile for 30 minutes straight, with barely any spare time.
Well, atleast when night came, I finally had some spare time, so I go to the roof top for some fresh air, only to bump into Nick.
" Sorry I didn't know you would be here. I will just leave " He says in a bit to avoid me, as he tries to walk out but I stand in his path.
" Can we please talk?" I beseech him. Just seeing him inform of me makes my heart bleeds, he looks so unhealthy like he hasn't slept in days.
I know he is hurt, and I will love nothing more than making him better.
" What about?" He ask nonchalantly
" I am sorry Nick. I know I have hurt you. I betrayed your trust but you have to believe me I was set up" I beseech him in tears but he cuts in.
" I am not interested in whatever you have to say, Octavia. You call this a setup, but you're married to him, explain that" He yells acrimoniously at me
" It's complex. This is a scheme concocted by your mom and brother to defame me" I explain still crying
" Don't you dare drag my mom into this, she wasn't the one who opened your legs for my brother" He yells angrily as his eyes enlarge with rage consequently taking me aback.
" Nick you have to believe me. You are the only man I love. I didn't cheat on you, this is all part of some crazy scheme to separate us" I explain desperately holding his hands in mine
" I am sorry but I don't believe you" He says as he tries to walk out but I stop him with a hug from behind.
" Don't leave, babe, Please" I beseech him on impulse, desperately clinging to his chest, as closing my eyes.
I have missed him so much, having him in my arms always makes all my problems go away. I don't want to lose this moment for any reason.
" Octavia" I hear an angry, hoarse deep voice echo from behind me and I know only too well who it is, Eren. My supposed husband.
My husband just catch me in the arms of my ex, worst of all I just called him babe.
The scene from Last night replays in my mind as I stand here dumbfounded. He is definitely going to finish the job tonight.
" What are you doing?" He ask with an angry stare that sends shock waves down my spine.
