When she returned, I didn’t think much of it
She was classy, elegant and definitely had the figure many women were dying to have but I didn’t let that bother.
I was equally beautiful with an amazing body physique
She was a popular name in the human world. A top model and one of the highest paid influencers,
Poppy Walsh was her name and her return to the Gray Moon Pack should have been an issue of concern to me. Not because of the beauty, or the fame, but because she was my mate’s first love. His childhood sweetheart.
Two years ago, just before we discovered we were mates, he proposed to her and she rejected him
And now she was back, she made everyone believed she was missing home and frankly speaking. I was one of the fools who believed her.
Until I saw the way they looked at each other. The secret meetings they had, the exchanges, the nights they spent together under the guise of catching up and today. I had just about enough!
I was sick of her stealing my husband’s attention. I was tired of the pretentious helplessness and fragility, just to get him by her side and goddess. help me, I was sick of the “bestie day outs.”
So I walked into her room, ready to relate my concerns to her since Collins, apparently, couldn’t see anything wrong with his action
“What are you doing in my room?” The sudden questioning startled me. When I came earlier, I knocked several times but there was no response so I decided to come in and wait for her.
I didn’t realise she was in here the entire time,
time, listening to me knock.
I plastered a warm smile on my face and faced her
“I came to see you. I knocked for almost five minutes but there was no response…” I was saying when she cut in
So you walked in? Who gave you the right to barge into my room without my consent?” Poppy snapped, I was taken aback by her hostility:
Wasn’t this the same wo
woman who acted like the meekest creature in the universe?
“I’m sorry,” I apologised, nonetheless,
“That’s not good enough. Go back to the door and knock.” She stated. My mouth went slightly agape in shock. “What are you waiting for? Go on!” Deciding there was really no point dragging it with her since it was just a door. I walked back to the door and knocked.
She stared at me without answering and I knocked again. My patience was wearing thin and I told myself if she made a fool of me one more time, would leave.
I knocked one last time
“Come in,” she rolled her eyes, walking to the couch. I swallowed my annoyance and followed her. “Have a seat?
I sat down, grateful she was polite enough to offer me a seat than have me beg for it.
“Tell me, why did you come here?” Her blue eyes pierced into mine, as if they were trying to read me.
Collins, went straight to the point. I am not comfortable with the way you make him spend the entire day with
you. I
n his mate and
I deserve his attention
“How is any of that my business?” She interrupted and I blinked. “He doesn’t give you attention, so what? How is that anyone’s fault? Collins is a grown and I believe he knows exactly what he wants and in this case, it just istri you*–
“What I couldn’t believe the audacity of this woman. I came here so we could talk like two mature adults and she was busy pushing my buttons, “Before you became his mate, I was his heart throb, so don’t blame me if he comes crawling at my feet, her arrogant response had me furning. “How dare you utter such nonsense about my mate before me? I didn’t care that I was raising my voice now. I couldn’t take any more insults from
her.
“Or what! You want to hit me? Report me to the Alpha May I remind you that you were the one who came here whining about not getting your

need to bear her up so badly. Crush that arrogant mouth of hers beneath my feet but I controlled my anger, refusing to let myself stoop to her level and returned to my room.
Her words echoed in my mind all day and every time, I cursed myself for not giving her a taste of the medicine she was brewing,
I picked a book, hoping to calm myself by diving into the fantasy world of fairytales and slowly, I lost myself into the book until my room door
ajar with a force that had it slamming multiple times against the wall.
I jumped to my feet, heart racing wildly against my chest from but I think what was more was
more was my husband’s next words.
“What kind of animal are you” He roared. The words made me shiver as I stepped back in fright, unsure of what to do or what the problem was
I don’t know what you’re talking about…
“Ikon you dare try to lie to me!” He barked. “How could you do that to that poor defenseless girl! Why? What did she ever do to you?”
eyes were red in anger and I could see his canines shooting out slowly. I was threading on dangerous ground and if I as much as said the wrong ed he would attach me.
Please calm down Collini Calm down and explain what you mean please…” I pleaded.
me to explaint. His tone was angrier now. “Explain that the girl you brutally attacked and bear is lying helplessly in the hospital ward? Poppy has been nothing but nice to you! Why would you do something so evil to her! You know she is from the lowest rank of omegas and doesn’t have rapid healing abilities like the rest of us, yet you went ahead to claw her in that manner?”
spy!” I looked at him in disbelief. I clawed Poppy? How?”
I swear to the Goddess if you deny one more time
“But I didn’t touch her I fired.
Jounner You’re testing me! You know how much I hate lies…” He growled.
- Believe 1, your Luna, is lying but Poppy isn’t?” I glared at him
“What are you even saying? Are you insinuating that she clawed herself all over just to accuse you? She has no reason to lie to me!” He hissed.
“And you think I do? You think I would just claw her and leave her to ramble off to you, simply because I want you to see me as the bad guy? Does that make any sense to you?” I retorted. “I didn’t touch so don’t come here calling me a liar when you know absolutely nothing!”
“June” He yelled.
Don’t yel
You’re the one who has no shame in choosing another woman over your
An over your wife!” I yelled back.
A slap sent me to the ground and I palmed my cheeks with a wince of pain and disbelief. Tears stung my eyes as I looked up at him.
“Did you just hit me because of another woman?”
