In the face of heartbreak and betrayal, she made the courageous decision to dissolve her marriage, unaware of the arduous journey that awaited her as a divorced woman. With an initial display of resilience, she sought to rebuild her life, yet the bitter wrath of her parents and the callousness of her siblings gradually eroded her spirit, leading her down a path of deep despair. Each tear shed was a testament to her profound pain, her burdens multiplying as she chose to shoulder them in silence, refusing to open her heart to anyone else.
"I am exhausted from this marriage. I can no longer endure being with you," Zainaba expressed, her voice filled with a mixture of frustration and sadness. The weight of his infidelity had taken its toll on her, leaving deep wounds in her heart. She couldn't believe he had brought another woman into their home, their sacred sanctuary. The anger within her rose, and for a brief moment, she entertained the thought of striking him.
Usman, however, seemed unfazed by her outburst, barely acknowledging her words. He appeared distant, as if her exhaustion held no significance to him. This only fueled Zainaba's rage. She couldn't bear to live with an unfaithful spouse any longer, and she whispered her accusation, careful not to let her words escape beyond the walls of their home. The secret she carried had the power to destroy everything she had built.
"Did you just call me an adulterer?" Usman's voice thundered through the room, his anger mirroring hers.
Zainaba pressed her lips together, determined not to back down. "If you do not wish to be labeled as such, then why do you engage in extramarital relations?" Her words rang out, a challenge she knew would provoke him further.
Usman let out a dry, bitter laugh before taking a step back, creating distance between them. "Ah, but do you have any proof? I bet you only witnessed us holding hands, not engaging in adultery," he taunted, his eyes daring her to prove him wrong. He was a master of manipulation, his cunning nature revealing itself.
Defeated, Zainaba refused to give up so easily. With a smile that masked her trembling legs, she replied, "Then what should I call witnessing the two of you together, naked? Isn't that adultery?" She gracefully settled onto a cushion in the living room, though her every fiber quivered with anticipation.
For a few moments, Usman stared at her in silence, the weight of her words sinking in. It was the second time he found himself speechless, his façade slipping. "Whatever, I do not have time for this," he declared, his voice laced with annoyance, as he turned to leave.
"You may not have time for this, but you certainly have time for adultery," Zainaba retorted, unwilling to let him go so easily.
Her once-husband's patience had worn thin, and Zainaba feared that her own patience had run dry as well. "What?" Usman spun around, his anger pulsating through him. He had not expected such a strong response from her. "Let me remind you of something: just because I remain silent does not mean I cannot take action!" His voice reverberated in the room, the tension between them palpable.
As Zainaba rose from her seat, her heart fluttered with a glimmer of hope. His words held a promise, a potential answer to her deepest longing-a divorce. Summoning all her courage, she decided to try her luck.
"Alright, please, let us do it. Let's bring an end to everything once and for all. I need a divorce."
A mischievous grin played on Usman's lips as he echoed her words. "Did you just say divorce?"
"Yes, that is what I want. I am exhausted, I swear," she pleaded, her eyes brimming with earnestness.
"If that is your wish, then let us visit your parents tomorrow and discuss everything in their presence," he replied, before turning and exiting the room.
Zainaba sank back onto the cushion, her shoulders burdened and heavy. She eagerly awaited the darkness of night, yearning for sleep to claim her so that she could awaken to a new day. A day that held the promise of her long-desired divorce.
As dawn broke, Zainaba rose early, wasting no time in preparing herself for the day ahead. The thought of food made her stomach turn, the weight of anticipation overriding her appetite. All she desired was to face her parents alongside him. It seemed he understood her yearning, for he too rose promptly, completing his preparations in sync with her. She was in the living room when he emerged, his watch adorning his wrist, and a cologne that had once intoxicated her now held no sway. She greeted him with a simple "good morning," and he responded cheerfully, as though the events of the previous night had been erased from existence.
His smile was painted on his face, a facade that crumbled with her next words. "I am going to work," he announced, making his way towards the door.
"What do you mean you're going to work? Have you forgotten our agreement?" The joy on Zainaba's face dissipated, vanishing into thin air.
"What agreement are you talking about?" he feigned ignorance, a mask of innocence on his face. "The matter of divorce," she replied, her tone curt.
"Oh!" He grinned, his expression transforming. "Please, my dear, let us forgive and forget.
Let's put an end to this marriage. I am already in pain. My heart bleeds," she pleaded, her tears held back with great effort. As it became clear he had no intention of responding to her desires, Zainaba rose to her feet and stumbled towards him.
"When I said I want a divorce, I meant it. You know better than anyone that I always mean what I say," she declared, her voice unwavering.
He tilted his head back, considering her words. "Very well, if that is what you want, let us go to your parents' house." Zainaba was taken aback, a surge of hope filling her weary heart. Without another thought, she covered her head with a veil and followed him to where he had parked his car

For three years, I waited to become the perfect Luna for my pack, to give the Alpha an heir. Three years of lies, of being the outsider in someone else's love story. Three years of grieving the loss of my baby and plotting revenge against the man who disfigured my face and ruined my womb. I had two choices: die at the hands of my own pack or escape and survive. I chose to hide and live. The Lycan King, Fenrir Lycros-the most bloodthirsty, ruthless ruler to ever lead the werewolves with an iron fist-made me his personal maid. It was the most dangerous role I could have, where even the slightest mistake could cost me my life. But no one from my past would think to look for me here. "Always be submissive, don't speak unless spoken to, don't listen, don't see anything, don't disturb the Lycan or you will die," were the simple rules I followed. I thought I was doing well-until one day, the King made me an offer I couldn't refuse. "Do you want me to save those people? Then give yourself to me tonight. Be my woman. I desire you, and I know you feel the same. Just once, Raven, only once..." But it wasn't just once. Passion turned into something deeper, something neither of us could deny. That cold, untamable man had somehow conquered my heart as well. However, when the past returned to haunt me and the truth about my birth came to light, I faced another choice: run from the Lycan King or wait for his mercy. "I'm sorry, but this time, I won't lose my pups again-not even for you, Fenrir Lycros."
