Story: Moonlight Betrayal
After three years of marriage, my Alpha chose to spend time with his first love at a festival designed for fated lovers. He left me alone at home while I was still holding his puppy.
“I’m taking Alina to the Moonlight Forest this Moonlight Festival. Be mature about it. She’s alone here with no one to depend on but me. You’re not going to get jealous about something like this, right?” Daxton said as he adjusted the new tie Alina had bought for him without even looking at me.
“I know you’re with pup right now, so I won’t take her home. Otherwise, you’ll have another meltdown again when you see her and use the pup as an excuse. It’s good enough if I take her out and out of your sight.”
The Moon Goddess had blessed the Moonlight Forest as a sacred place. She would bestow her blessings on those in love who made a vow there.
According to legend, mates who made a pledge to each other during the Moonlight Festival would never be separated for life.
It was the place I’d always wanted to go with Daxton.
However, due to our numerous responsibilities to the pack during our three years of marriage, we did not attend the Moonlight Festival. However, the first year his first love returned was enough to convince him to leave me at home and accompany her to receive the Moon Goddess’ blessing.
When I looked up at the man who mocked me, the woman nestled against his shoulders, her eyes welling up with tears, sobbing.
She choked on her words: “It’s fine. If Luna disagrees, then let it be. I’m just an orphan whom no one loves. I’m used to being alone. Don’t ruin your happiness with Luna just because of me.”
Daxton held the woman in his arms and said softly, “You’re always so understanding.”
Then he gave me a brutal glare. “If you ever dare aggrieve Alina, I’ll make you pay.”
Alina buried her face in Daxton’s chest, pretending to sob while staring at me. Her eyes glowed with smugness.
When Daxton began to scold me, I was still unable to make sense of the situation.
“Vera, when can you be as kind and compassionate as Alina? She lost her parents when she was little and hasn’t been to the Moonlight Forest. I’m just fulfilling my responsibilities like an older brother to a little sister. Can you not scrutinise me every moment? When will you stop being so petty? It’s not like I’m cheating.”
I stared at what was going on in front of me in a daze. I finally realised that I had been reborn.
I returned on the day Daxton wanted to take Alina to the Moonlight Forest.
I refused to let Daxton verbally hurt me again and replied coldly, “Sure. I’ll pack for you two right now.”
Daxton froze. I used to freak out whenever I heard he was with another woman outside of our home.
I once held a knife to my stomach when Daxton wanted to pick up Alina from the airport, threatening him with the life of our puppy.
But today, I did nothing and even prepared to pack his belongings for him when he decided to take Alina to the Moonlight Forest during the Moonlight Festival.
Perhaps he had lingering feelings for me. My indifferent demeanour made his heart ache slightly.
However, Alina’s tears quickly drew him back.
“That’s better. You should learn to behave for the sake of the pup in your womb, even if you care little about yourself. You’re the pack’s Luna, so you should be graceful and stop being so jealous all the time. And stop comparing yourself to Alina. Unlike you, she’s kind and innocent.”
Alina lightly punched Daxton on the chest and said, “I’m not that nice.”
