"Thomas! Alisa!" I screamed and both heads snapped to me.
He rolled his eyes and pulled out of her, while she adjusted her skirt.
I couldn't believe my eyes. My sister was sleeping with my husband!
"Why are you yelling? You didn't react this way when your ex sent you that letter," he huffed and I stared at him in disbelief and fury.
"Are you kidding me?! It was just a letter! A harmless birthday wish! It has nothing to do with you cheating with my sister!" I yelled.
My chest was hurting. It felt like my lungs were closing up on me. I was angry, heartbroken, and betrayed. I looked at Alisa who was actively avoiding my gaze.
"How could you do this to me?" The tears rolled down my cheeks.
"Well, it's no one's fault you can't keep your man. He just happened to be attracted to me, and as two consenting adults, we went after what we wanted," she shrugged, and I felt my head spinning.
This wasn't happening. It just can't be happening to me!
"I can't take this..." my voice was breaking. "I won't take this... not after everything I've been through! Because of you, I was forced to abandon the one I love. I couldn't have the life I always wanted for myself.. because of you, I swallowed everything that was thrown my way just to be a good wife to you, and this is how you repay me?"
"Cut the sob story, Isabel. What exactly are you expecting? You want the Alpha to go down on his knees and beg you?" Alisa retorted.
I couldn't believe she was the one saying this. Out of everyone, I always thought she was the one who truly had my best interest at heart.
But I was wrong.
It was all a front so I wouldn't discover her true nature.
I was angry and bitter.
"He doesn't need to beg me. I don't need your apologies but be well aware that the Elders and everyone else in the pack will hear about this!"
With that, I stormed out of the room to my room. Tears poured down my cheeks as I clutched tightly to my pillow.
How could they do this to me on my birthday? Couldn't they respect me for just today?
Even if the day was going a little rough, it was still my birthday!"
EARLIER THAT DAY
Baby clothes.
Baby shoes.
Baby bags.
Baby cot.
Baby closet.
My eyes watered. My birthday gifts were all baby items. Nothing for me. Not even a birthday card.
Everyone was more concerned about the pregnancy than they were about me.
"Just wait until you deliver, Isa. The ceremony will be the talk of the town. People from far and near will come and your child will be flooded with many more gifts," my father said.
That was all I ever heard.
Baby! Baby! Baby!
If it wasn't the baby then it was about my husband, Alpha Thomas. No one cared about my feelings or ever considered it.
They were more concerned about what they would gain from the union and the baby's arrival. They somehow managed to make my birthday centrentrethese two people, just like the rest of my life.
One of the maids walked in with a gift.
"This was delivered for you, Luna," she bowed. I took it from her with a nod, ignoring the curious gazes from my family.
The gift was rather flat and I tried to imagine which baby items it was as I opened it.
Surprisingly, it was an envelope.
I opened it curiously and my heart skipped the moment I saw the handwriting.
It was one I would never forget.
The cursive letters were the writing of the one man who had my heart. One, which, unfortunately, I couldn't marry because my father set his eyes on Thomas' wealth and affluence.
Damian, the rogue king.
"Happy birthday, Fireball. I know we've been apart for a year but I hope you are having the best life. I hope this birthday is a memorable one for you and hope you like my gift. Safe delivery, princess. Love, Damon."
My eyes watered as I read it over and over again. If only he were here...
If only things worked out between us.
I checked the contents of the envelope and found a customized infinity necklace.
My insides were overwhelmed with emotions. This was the first real gift I've received today. And to think it was from my ex.
"What is that?" Thomas asked out of the blue, and my heart skipped. The man had a rotten temper and this was certainly going to anger him.
"Are you deaf?" He snapped and I gulped.
"It's just a letter," I tried to keep my voice steady.
"If it's just a little then read it out and stop stalling!" He fired. My hands trembled around it.
There was nothing bad in it but I knew he would flip the minute he heard who it came from.
I read out the letter to avoid angering him but intentionally left out the part where it showed it was from Damian.
"Fireball?" He spat the name with distaste. "Whose fireball are you?"
My throat went dry. I couldn't come up with any explanation because it seemed like he already knew the answer and I wasn't wrong.
"It's from Damian, isn't it? As far as I know, he's the only one who addresses you by such a ridiculous name," he demanded.
I couldn't deny it.
"You are still communicating with your ex while you are married to me?" He growled snatching the letter from me.
I watched in horror as he tore it to shreds.
"You think he's better than me? I provide you with everything you could possibly ask for and this is how you pay me back?"
"You need to calm down, Thomas. It was just a letter. You are blowing things out of proportion!" I tried to explain, but a slap met me across the face, igniting gasps from all present.
"Are you stupid? How dare you address me in that tone, you lying bitch!" He barked and I flinched.
I didn't say a word as he stormed away.
A tear slipped down my cheeks. How did I end up like this?
"Look what you've done, Isabelle! What were you thinking?" My father, of course, took his side.
"What do you mean by that, father? You just saw him hit me!" My pitch rose in annoyance.
"He only did that because he was angry, which he had every right to be! Why would you be gushing over a gift from your ex?" He scolded.
"Well, this ex would never be violent towards me! Especially when I'm pregnant!" I fired, angry tears pouring down my cheeks.
He was just going to ignore the fact that Thomas hit me all because he didn't want to get on his wrong side.
I had never seen a more shameless asslicker.
"Everyone, calm down please!" Alisa, my sister said suddenly. She placed a hand on my shoulder. "It's okay, Isa. Calm down, alright. I'll go talk to him and see if I can calm him down, okay?"
I nodded tearily and she walked away.
"Just look at you. You were the one who offended him yet you are sending in your sister to apologize on your behalf," he hissed.
I didn't understand why the man always had a problem with me. Nothing I did was ever right in his eyes.
In fact, this marriage was the only value he saw in me. He told me that multiple times after forcing me to leave Damian.
He didn't care if I was happy or not. As long as I married Thomas.
After thirty minutes of glaring and silence, he snapped, "Why are you still here? Go and apologize to your husband!"
I didn't want to argue with him so I went upstairs. As I got closer to his room, I could hear the faint moans.
My chest tightened as I thought of many possibilities and just as I pushed open the slightly opened door, my worst fear came true.
There was my supposedly angry husband, buried deeply inside my sister.
