THE ALPHA'S SECRET

FACTS

OCTAVIA POV

I flutter my eyes open to an annoying knock at my door.

" Come in" I say as I try to sit upright but am quickly confronted by a spitting headache.

My shoulder, neck and back hurts terribly.

' What happened?'- I wonder as I support my exploding head with my hands.

That's when my duvet falls off my chest exposing my naked breast.

' Why am I naked?'- I wonder in a panic as I look underneath the duvet 'Who brought me here?'

The deeds of last night are still a mystery to me. The Last thing I recall is having a fight with Eren in a garden.

' I must have passed out afterward from excessive alcohol consumption'- I conclude before realizing that there's something in between my legs, a viscous liquid.

' God please let it not be sperm'- I pray as I run my hand in between my thighs to take a closer look and it's exactly what I think it is, sperm.

' How?. Did I have s*x with Eren again?'- I ask myself confusing

" Luna, Luna" I hear Nadia call, pulling me out of my thoughts

" Yes, Nadia" I reply

" I have been calling. I asked if you require a first aid kit after the eventful night you had with the alpha" she says with a smile, confirming my suspicions.

That animal did take advantage of me again, but something is wrong. I am not mad for some reason.

Is it because I want to have a baby with him so bad, or probably because he apologized last night.

But ever way I am not revolted by the fact that he touched me last night, if anything it's Nadia's face that is ruining my morning.

" Why would I need a first aid kit Nadia?" I ask bored as I roll my eyes at her stupidity.

" Your neck Luna, it's still bleeding" She informs.

' What does she mean by my neck is still bleeding'- I wonder as my hand runs to my hurting neck on impulse and I see blood. Blood on one's neck after s*x could only mean one thing as a werewolf, a mating bite had taken place.

In a panic, I jump out of bed, running to my full body size mirror to take a look at the cause of the bleeding, lor and behold it's the mating bite, I feared.

His sharp werewolf teeth have been left engraved in my skin as a sign that I belong to no one else by him.

' How dare him do this. He stole my pride twice and now he stole my right to choose a mate for myself. This act wouldn't go unpunished. He will pay for this. I will kill him if I have to'- I think before storming out of my bedroom in nothing but my duvet.

" Luna what are you doing?" Nadia asks confused as she runs after me

" I am going to see my husband" I inform simply as I insist on my path

" Atleast put on something" She suggest.

I don't answer, instead I just proceed on my path, what's the point of being ashamed now when I have already been defamed.

I walk to my husband's room but I'm stopped by his gaurds.

" Step out of my way, I will like to see my husband" I command with an authoritative demeanor.

" I am afraid the alpha is predisposed at the moment, and won't want to be disturbed" He informs annoying the hell out of me.

" Get out of my way, immediately" I command as I try to force my way in but he wouldn't let me

" I am pretty sure the alpha wouldn't like seeing you touch his naked wife so casually. Who knows he might take your head for it, but it doesn't have to get to that point. Just let her in and we will keep this as our little secret" Nadia informs arrogantly.

The gaurd stares down at us with a frown as though thinking of the best manner of approach.

He then sighs before stepping out of the way and usher me in.

I walk into Eren's bedroom and it's deserted. It appears to have been abandoned for years.

The air is stuffy, the sheets dusty and the entire room is characterized by cobwebs.

' Wasn't this the room, I lost my pride in'- I doubt to myself

' If Eren doesn't sleep here, ehere does he sleep?'- I wonder before hearing a hellacious cry emanating from behind what I suspect should be his bathroom door.

" Stop it. I can't take it anymore" I hear Eren's voice echo in a teary manner

" Pin him down" I hear another man'ly voice echo equally in a panic.

Next thing, I hear is the cracking sound of a steel cage, followed by the sound of a whip on what I suspect should be human flesh.

Then came a loud cry, which sounds like the wining of a wounded animal, only this...wasn't a wounded animal, it was Eren. He was in pain.

Hearing him in pain, made me feel pained for some reason.

I don't know what I was thinking, it might be involuntary but I found myself being drawn to take a look at what might be going on in that room.

Without a second thought I dash off to open the door but just when I am about to turn the knob, someone helds me by the wrist from behind, consequently stopping me.

I turn and it's Luna Lora. She helds my hand tightly as she shoots angry glances at me.

" What are you doing here?" She ask fuming mad

" I want to see Eren. What are they doing to him?" I ask puzzled

" That's none of your business. Leave this room immediately" She commands as she sends my hand flying angrily.

" Please I want to see Eren. Come on mom, I need to know what is wrong with him. He is my husband for christ sake" I beseech her worried as the whip slashes become more frequent and his screams goes louder.

" Your husband?" She ask confused "You're claiming ownership on him now?. Do you love him now Octavia?" She ask and to that I have no answers.

I honestly have no idea why I am so worried but I am not proud of it.

" Oh, he marked you. How cute" She says mockingly with an annoying smirk "You think you love him now because he scrolled you good last night and even left his mark on you?"

" Listen darling" She says as she squeeze my cheeks such that our eyes meet "You and Eren are not supposed to fall in love with each other. You are just supposed to f**k and give me grand babies. You are not to meddling in my son's life. Do you understand Octavia?" She questions. as she digs her nails into my skin.

" Yes mom" I reply bowing my head down, not because I can't answer her but because she is right, as per our agreement I am not expecting to share any emotional connections with Eren. That way, it would be easier for him to let me go.

" Good, just stick to opening your legs wide" She says before she releases my cheeks "Get out of my sight. You sting"

I don't say a word, instead I compose myself and dash off to my room.

I take a bath, put one some clean clothes, before leaving for the hospital to see my mom.

My head is a mess. I think this family is planning to do something horrible for me.

I am scared and I need someone to talk to.

" I must confess marriage does suit you my darling" Mom compliments with a contempted smile.

How I wish that was the case.

" Yeah, it's the fancy clothes" I inform nonchalantly, as my mind drifts off to the scene from earlier.

" What is wrong sweetheart?. Is something bothering you?" She ask concerned as she takes a seat next to me.

" Nothing mom" I lie, the last thing I want to do is worry her with my problems. Looks like coming here was a bad idea

" Are you and Eren having problems?" She questions and I can't respond because I don't know what to say.

" You know you should be more understanding with your husband, he had a pretty rough childhood" Mom tries to defend, and I lose it.

For as long as I can remember mom always makes excuses and praise Eren for no good reason and I am sick of it.

" How rough could he childhood be. He is alpha, he had everything. If anything, he life was a bed of roses" I inform acrimoniously.

" That's what he wants everyone to think, but the truth is he had a traumatic childhood and I think that might still be affecting him till now" She informs, pulling my attention.

" What do you mean mom?" I ask intrigued

" Eren was almost killed by his father twice when he was 10 years old" She says stunning me

"I know he wouldn't tell you this, but he killed his own father" She adds and I can feel my hair stand on ends.
