I sat on the side couch of the party hall, looking at my Alpha mate Nathan talking to other packs’ Alphas.
Nathan was so confident, so handsome, all the packs looked up to Dark Moon Pack as the best ally and business partner.
And I was his useless Luna.
Nobody even wanted to talk to me because Nathan didn’t like me.
I took a sip of a cocktail, and suddenly heard wine glass breaking behind me.
I saw a beautiful maid apologizing to the man in panic, it was Zoe.
Her watery eyes were innocent, and her long hair spread on her back.
This is the type that most men like.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I really didn’t mean it, please forgive me.”
Zoe kept bowing to the man.
The man’s white shirt was stained with red wine.
“You spilled the wine on me, then drink mine.”
The man is Alpha Isaac from Cold Fang Pack, who is famous for screwing around.
He held a big full glass of Vodka, waiting for Zoe to take it.
“She is going to suffer,” I heard a lady behind me gossiping.
That lady’s wrong.
She’s not.
Someone will help her out.
The next second, I saw my husband Nathan walking towards Zoe from a distance.
He pulled Zoe behind his tall figure, blocking Isaac’s gaze on the maid.
Even among the crowd, he is still the most dazzling presence.
“Zoe is too young to drink,” Nathan said.
I lost interest and was going out to get some air.
But Nathan called me.
“Diana, come here and drink it.”
Not a question, not a request, but a cold order.
I let out a breath to calm down, turned around, and looked at him.
Zoe, who was hiding behind Nathan’s black suit, pulled his sleeves and whispered, “It’s all my fault, so I’d better drink.”
“It’s okay, Diana is good at it.” Nathan said to Zoe gently, “You are different.”
I suppressed the bitterness in my heart.
Zoe is twenty-one and I am only twenty-two.
What’s making her ‘too young’ while I am not?
People around me gave me sympathetic looks.
I think they are also confused——
Why is Nathan, defending other women and even asking his Luna to drink?
But in fact, I have long been accustomed to this kind of life.
Nathan and I lived together for two years because of our mate bond.
But he never loved me.
He didn’t even remember that yesterday was our 2 years anniversary. I was the only one sitting in the villa with cold steaks and lukewarm champagne.
I was too tired to resist him, so I walked over took the vodka from Isaac’s hand, and drank it in one gulp.
The spicy drink made my stomach burn instantly.
It hurts, but I can bear it.
“I didn’t expect Dark Moon Pack’s Luna to drink so well, why not have another?”
Isaac poured another full glass of vodka.
He did it on purpose.
Isaac didn’t dare to offend Nathan for saving Zoe, so he came to make things difficult for me.
One full glass is my limit.
I’ll die of stomachache.
I was about to refuse when Nathan’s cold voice sounded in my ears.
“Diana, didn’t you see Alpha Isaac toasting you? Hurry up and take it.”
I looked at Nathan, begging with my eyes. I can’t drink more.
His eyes seemed to be so cold, that he didn’t care about what I felt at all.
I heard footsteps coming closer, Nathan picked up with a lazy voice, “What do you want?”
They probably just had s*x, and I passed out and missed the mate bond pain.
Good for me, I told myself.
“I’m in the hospital, could you send someone to pay for the bill for me?”
Zoe’s voice is close too, I can’t help imagining Nathan hugging Zoe on the bed when talking to me, “Is it urgent? You can go help Diana first.”
“I’m not leaving you. Nothing is more urgent than you.”
After Nathan coaxed Zoe, he seemed to have finally remembered my existence, “If you need money, just call Packhouse. You are Luna, and no one will make things difficult for you.”
He hung up.
I should have expected this outcome and called Packhouse again.
“You want money? No! Do you really think of yourself as Luna? Let me tell you, I won’t give you money without Alpha’s personal approval!”
The nurse was completely impatient.
“I’m telling you, we can’t keep you here without money.”
She tore off the needle from my hand and said coldly, “Get out of here please.”
I was kicked out of the ward and could only sit by the side of the road with my thin, short dress.
It was cold and I was in pain, but it won’t be more painful than my heart.
Nathan did leave me for Zoe, and he didn’t mind the public knowing what he did.
Now I can’t even take a taxi because I have no money.
I tried calling Nathan again, but expectedly, no one answered.
After being disappointed again and again, I slowly calmed down to realize how ridiculous I was for two whole years with Nathan.
I tried my best to be a good Luna, to be a mate who does whatever Nathan wanted me to, but all were just no better than a maid.
I finally made up my mind to call another number.
A deep male voice picked up quickly.
“Are you finally willing to call me? I thought you had forgotten me as your family.”
My eldest brother, the Alpha of Blade Moon Pack, is also the only person who can match Nathan’s strength.
I never told Nathan that I was Alpha bloodline, hoping for him to love me for who I was. But I was wrong.
“Marc…” My teeth were chattering, “I want to go home.”
