NADIA
As the owner of Verizon Deliveries, I had a special VIP order which I was expected to deliver myself at an exquisite hotel. It was a luxury lavish flower bouquet to the esteemed Alpha Lodge, a luxurious enclave where high-ranking werewolves and Alphas booked.
The lodge was known for its exclusivity, located at the outskirts of the pack where privacy was assured.
I didn't bother checking the name on the bouquet, which simply read "Olga.” The name sounded familiar, my childhood best friend, studying abroad and has been promising to come visit me whenever she returns back to Detroit Pack.
I proceeded directly to the address. It was the main thing. Upon arrival, I knocked on the door, but there was no response. I rang the doorbell, but still, no one answered. The silence was unnerving. “They could be having some sweet moments together,” I thought to myself.
This took my mind back to my husband and my mate, Alpha Adams. I can't wait for him to return back from work in the evening so we do this.
I cleared my throat, flashing off the steamy thoughts which were developing in my head. I glanced at my watch, realizing I was running behind schedule.
“Why is this lady not responding? She can't be lodging here alone?” I thought to myself.
I tried the door handle, but it was locked. Leaving the bouquet by the door wasn't an option, as it would be unprofessional. I decided to take a closer look around the apartment. Peering through the window, I scanned the interior, hoping to catch a glimpse of Olga or anyone who might be inside, so I would get their attention.
As I checked the first, the second and the third, I was so surprised to see someone looking so familiar, I looked deeper.
“Urgh?” My lips sprout forth.
I couldn't believe my eyes.
My Alpha, Alpha Adams. I strained my eyes much more and what I saw next shocked me. It was the Olga I knew, Olga Stanley, my most trusted friend and confidante. He was pushing his cock into her from behind. Her lips kept moving, I could imagine her moaning to the pleasure of it.
“Oh my God!”
The bouquet dropped from my hand, my heart began to beat so hard that I had to grab my chest. Adams had told me he's going to work and I believed he was in his office. See what he's doing, he even ordered an expensive romantic bouquet for my bestie, something he has never given me before.
Tears strolled from my eyes, anger beeped so hard against my chest.
My frustration boiled over, and as I stepped back, hands covering my shocked mouth, I lost my balance. I stumbled and fell to the ground, the fall echoing through the quiet apartment.
The noise seemed to jolt them into action. They'd sighted me. Before I could stand, Alpha Adams appeared outside, his expression a mix of mockery and guilt. I couldn't just stand it, he even had the guts to order from my company under a VIP order where I would have to deliver it myself.
It's so intentional.
"Who's there?" Alpha Adams’ voice boomed, laced with anger and suspicion. He strode into the hallway upon quickly dressing into his trousers, his eyes looking at me. For a moment, shock registered on his face, his eyes darting between me and the apartment. But quickly, his expression turned icy, his features hardening into a cold mask. He looked at me with disdain, as if I was the intruder, not him.
"His eyes narrowed, voice dripping with anger. "What the hell are you doing here?"
I narrowed my eyes.
“Didn't you place a VIP order?” I imagined asking him but no words came off from my mouth. My eyes went to Olga, she held a totally different attitude, a smirk with arms folded across her chest while still naked, she didn't even bother to cover up.
I had been prepared to confront him, but he struck first. My mind raced, trying to get what to say to him. I was blinded with confusion here. Why will he do this to me? Cheating to my knowledge? Something fishy was going on, I guessed deeper than I thought.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Alpha Adams snarled.
His piercing gaze locked onto mine, eyes blazing with unapologetic pride and arrogance. His expression radiated a cold, unrepentant confidence, making it clear he felt no remorse for his actions. The Alpha's demeanor was unyielding, daring me to challenge him further.
“Are you insane?” I smacked his cheek so hard, tears coming down from my eyes. “Who gave you such audacity to cheat on me, still got to ask me questions?”
“You ordered from my company and even requested I deliver it personally so I'll come see this?”
It hit me hard it wasn't solely Olga, this must be his act to hurt with the way he's bold and without remorse. Adrenaline whipped me badly and I was shaking. “Tell me what I've done to you to deserve this?”
“Nothing but as the Alpha, I have the right to fuck any girl I wish. I'm not limited to you.”
“What?” I stepped back in shock at his words. “Was that what we agreed on when we got married?”
“Have you forgotten that you haven't borne any child for me in our three years of being together in marriage and I haven't said a word about it? Do you think I'm a fool?”
My legs vibrated. “Oh God!” My face fell. “You have never mentioned having kids, besides you once said after we're stable as a couple, you'll make sure I'll resume my studies and become a great woman. So all those were lies?”
“Do you think I'll marry a non-graduate like you?”
These words swung into my heart like a two-edged sword. He really waited for the time he should have kept his promise to say this.
Tears rolled down my eyes as I said this. Every memory of the past came rushing in.
“Is this how you choose to reward me after forgoing my dream of going to medical school to be with you?” I sniffed.
He said nothing but his cold eyes ran over me.
“Adams, why did you change all of a sudden? Who made you become like this?”
Olga stepped up, pulling her hand over Adams’ shoulder. “What did you expect after he sent me to study abroad? He has to marry me, he has always had an interest in me, not you.”
Whatttttt???
NADIA
I can't imagine what I'm hearing to be true, so Adams has been the one sponsoring my best friend to study abroad and I never knew? I abandoned my dream of being a medical doctor to become his Luna because I loved him so much and wanted to help him become the Alpha of this pack.
Three years ago, his dad got diagnosed with cancer and had only a couple of months to live. He had two sons, Adams and his elder brother. As custom demands, his elder brother was supposed to become the next Alpha but he led a gangster life, indulging in drugs and womanizing. No matter how hard his dad talked, he would never listen. Adams on the other hand was calm and responsible, the perfect candidate for the Alpha status.
“I can't see Davis becoming the Alpha due to his reckless life, he will run the pack and all I've taken years to build.” I can remember the old Alpha saying to Adams. We were together being my best friend. At that time I was just nineteen and freshly graduated from high school while he was already in his final year in college. He was twenty-four.
“But–”
There was a condition.
“You have to get married and show me your Luna, the only criteria to take this position, otherwise I'll have no choice than to leave the position with him.”
There was no better option for Adams than myself as he confessed. I was the only girl he was close to but then I wasn't ready for marriage. My dad even before his death due to pneumonia dreamt of me becoming a doctor but since he couldn't live to see me become this, I promised him I would. This, before his last breath.
“I'll never leave or cheat on you if you marry me. I promise to send you to medical school after three years of our marriage. We will be focused on stabilizing the pack, not even on bearing kids yet till you're done with school,” he had promised while petting me.
I blushed, it sounded so good to be true. Who does marry without wanting kids until about seven to ten years later? Since it was my best friend and confidante saying it, I believed it with all my heart and agreed to forgo my dreams and marry him, his promise sticking to my head.
Little did I know that he would change his mind and break his promise at the exact year he's supposed to keep them.
During these three years, I became a most capable wife and Luna, supporting him in his work and business goals. Within these three years, he established himself in real estate and the fashion industry, building his net worth from thirty thousand dollars which his dad left for him to a multi-millionaire.
I thought I'll sit to enjoy this but all my hope seems to crumble forever. Now, the pain was so unbearable. I turned and fled, sprinting away from the hallway of the hotel, desperate to escape the pain. My feet carried me home, to the pack estate, where I collapsed, consumed by sorrow and heartache.
My wolf's voice echoed within me, firm and resolute. "It's time to break free from this cheater. He must have been in this affair for quite a while, who knows?”
“You deserve better. He didn't even care to hide it.” She said.
When I arrived at the pack estate, I took a deep breath and typed a message that would change my life forever. I posted on our family's group chat: "My marriage with Alpha Adams just ended. I'll cease to be his Luna and yours as of today.” I posted but not saying what he did.
The moment I made this announcement, my phone erupted with a flurry of messages.
Texts and calls flooded in from friends, acquaintances, and even Alpha Adams's inner circle. The most surprising was Alpha Adams himself, who had never initiated contact with me before when off for work as he always claimed. But the most persistent was my mom, whose calls kept coming in.
I decided to pick it.
"Nadia, I didn't raise you to be a fool. You're an omega, the lowest of the low. Being chosen by an Alpha is a privilege, not a right, better than being a doctor. Even though you both were childhood best friends, you didn't qualify to marry him. His dad loved you and Adams chose you. See how you're willing to throw this great privilege away because of your own selfishness and pride.”
“Mom, when he cheated on me, sponsored my best friend to school instead of me?” She didn't even let me air my mind when she cut me up immediately.
“Don't make this mistake, or I'll make sure you regret it. I won't hesitate to teach you a lesson myself.”
“Where will you get the money to send me monthly?”
I sighed at her selfish thoughts. She wasn't even considering me and how hurt I was from this but herself alone. I got pissed and ended the call.
Since my father's passing, my mom has been so controlling, not regarding the promise I made to dad about being a doctor. When Adams proposed marriage and I told her, she snappily asked me to accept.
She saw me and this opportunity as her ticket to a better life. Now barely three years later, Alpha Adams has set my world crumbling.
Back then, Adams was charming, gentle, and we quickly fell deeply in love. For a while, everything seemed perfect. Never in my worst thoughts would I imagine him cheating on me with the girl who supported our love and wished us the very best.
I wasted no time in packing my things, I was not going to let a day meet me in this estate. I wanted to go, I wanted to be free. But all from nowhere, this thought flew in.
“How can I just leave without taking revenge?” I gave a second thought, then shook my head. “I must get back all I'd invested in Adams’ life. He can't deceive me and go scot free.” I promised myself.
Millions of thoughts roamed through my mind on how to go about this before I ended up slumping to the bed, collapsed into a troubled sleep.
My mind traveled to three days coming, it dawned on me being our three years anniversary.
As I arrived home, I hurriedly set the table for our anniversary dinner. I wanted everything to be perfect. I wanted to have a special night with my lovely mate.
As I finished setting the table, I heard a knock at the door. It was Alpha Adams. Our anniversary tradition included lavish gifts - designer ball gowns, Birkin bags - and I couldn't help but anticipate another extravagant surprise. This time, though, my expectations were laced with uncertainty, given the situation on ground.
Alpha Adams stood before me, holding a pink gift bag. Inside was a stunning pink dress. My eyes widened with excitement.
"Oh my!" I exclaimed, throwing my arms around him. "I knew you'd get it for me!" I beamed, feeling a spark of joy despite the earlier conflict.
As I reached for the pink gift bag, Alpha Adams yanked it away. I arched my brows, puzzled by this act when I felt a kick on my foot and sprang up.
Oh, it looked so real. So it was actually a dream?
Before me stood Olga, hands clutched with Alpha Adams. They stood before me, watching me with mocking eyes.
Olga stepped forward, grinning. “I promised to see you when I return. But–” She paused and terror mixed with shock gripped me.
“Not as your best friend but as your Luna.”
My jaw dropped. This betrayal was brutal and uncalled for.
NADIA
"I thought you wanted to pack out, what are you still doing here?” Adams sneered.” Your time with me is up, you should be getting the fuck out of my life.”
My eyes burnt into a scorching gaze as I thought what best to do to him for disappointing and disgracing me this way.
“Well, I'll leave your house but not as you think. I'll make sure you pay dearly for what you have done to me.”
“So funny if you think I'll give you a dime when I have my new pregnant Luna to take care of!” He scoffed. I swallowed a lump, bigger than my throat should. My eyes spread so wide.
“What did you just say?”
“Well, we're marking our two years anniversary today.” Olga said, twisting her face and twirling with pride.
I was speechless.
“So you mean you have been having an affair with my husband behind my back and still pretended to be my best friend?” I challenged.
“What did you think made me become best friends with you first of all when you're an Omega and I'm the daughter of a Gamma. We aren't even in the same class. So you thought I was a fool?”
Same thing Adams said. Oh God!
Adams chuckled, walking Olga away. “Let's leave the clingy bitch. She really wants big things she can't ever get.” Olga scoffed.
“She has gotten exactly what she deserves. Now she knows her position.” She mocked.
Alpha Adams handed a classy red skimpy gown to her. Try the dress in my room, I can't wait to see you in this dress on this special day." He said and went downstairs leaving Olga standing there, while she was admiring the red gown given to her.
She took it excitedly and went straight to his room. I was still observing, revenge lurking in my mind.
I had so much to say, but nothing felt right at the moment. I didn't need to say many words, I needed to show actions, to teach them a lesson.
"Rate me!" Olga came down with a smile on her face as she put on the dress.
"You look extremely gorgeous, like a true Luna and my queen." Adams said to her with a grin on his face.
"I can't appreciate you less, my Alpha." Olga replied to him before turning to me with her deadly fake smile. "How do I look, Nadia?" She scoffed but I turned away, scoffing.
I was too pissed to even haul an insult, I just remained quiet until Adams snapped at once. "Common! I don't want to believe that you're envious and resentful already.” Adams mocked.
"Olga is the perfect candidate for the Luna position, she's a diplomat and my pack stands the chance of reaching a greater height with her being my Luna. Despite studying International Relations, she also has a diploma in medical science and can also assist as the pack doctor, our family doctor. What can you offer?”
My brows arched.
“But I'm not sending you away. You can step aside to become my second wife and her, the first.”
My consciousness sailed off, I stood there like a zombie wondering if this was all my mind playing games and movies with me.
“Aside from this, Olga has been of great help to my companies, she has made my companies reach unimaginable heights. She deserves to become the Luna. Whatever I'm doing now, or whatever gifts I'm buying her, just know she deserves every single one of them." He added.
Without saying a word, I left the room straight to the garden where I picked up my phone to call my lawyer friend, one of the best divorce lawyers in Detroit Pack. Kia was my high school classmate and ever since we've been talking even though not so closely.
“Hi my Luna,” she teased as she picked my call.
“No Kia. I'm no longer the Luna.
“What happened?” She asked.
I gave a sigh. “Adams has brought home my best friend, Olga. She's even pregnant for him.” I felt the words so heavy as they came out from my mouth.
“In three days, we'll be having our anniversary and he chose to do this to me.” I burst into tears. I couldn't continue again. My entire body was weakened.
“Please find a way, come see me.” Kia said right away, looking like she had something to do about the case. I obeyed and managed to get up, not going back to the house to pick anything. I already had my phone and wallet with me.
When I arrived at our apartment, she rushed out to hug me. Seeing I was so downcast, she guided me to the couch, squatting before me. “You said three days is your anniversary with him, right?”
“Yes,” I nodded.
“Then you have to get someone better than him, someone to celebrate a new relationship with on that day. It would be the best revenge.”
I jerked back, wondering if she knew what she was talking about. “Well, I wanted his money, to take back all he has after divorce.”
“That's why I called you.”
“The court wouldn't rule against his favor, he's the Alpha, he pays the judges. What were you expecting?” She said this and my mind failed. I never reasoned this but it's reality. The film clouding my vengeful brain cleared and I now had to find some other way.
“We have a lot of elites, relatives of the Alpha Kings in the Regal Pack. How about attending one of their lavish night clubs? I heard even the unmated triplet kings frequent there.”
I shook my head, not wanting to rely on another false hope. “I don't think that will work. Even when they frequent there, I'm not their type.”
Kia however didn't give up, she continued to persuade me until I finally gave in. She took me shopping. “You need to look classy,” she said.
“But you're coming with me?”
“Sure?” She nodded.
Without haste, we took a fun trip to the Regal Pack which is a neighboring pack to our pack. It was a thirty minute journey, shorter than I'd thought. When we arrived, Kia took me to Milton Club. It was the most exquisite in town, a five-star club of which the Alpha kings were members.
At the gate, the bouncers stopped up, about to ask questions when Kia pulled out a golden card, I peered at it. It said “Membership Card” on top.
“She's my sister,” she told them and they let us.
“You never told me this isn't your first time here?” I shrugged my shoulders and she chuckled.
“If I wasn't a member, how would I know the Alpha kings came here?” She asked and I smiled lip-tight, looking ahead of us as she held my hand and walked in. It had over a thousand people and everyone I saw screamed luxury.
I turned to Kia. “Have you talked with them before?” She knew what I meant. For a while, she said nothing. Then she smiled.
“The third triplet who's an International Diplomat was my coursemate overseas. He even introduced me to the man I'm currently seeing here.”
My jaw dropped.
“But you never told me this?”
“I was afraid nervousness would make you decline. Actually, they asked me to link them up with some beautiful girl from my pack, saying Detroit has the most beautiful girls in the country just like me. Now that Adams has betrayed you, you're the best candidate.”
Both shock and amusement filled my veins. I stood there facing her, dazed and mute. My spirit left my body, though I guessed she hoped I might luckily land with the triplet kings, I didn't know she already had a direct arrangement with them.
How can I stand before these sexy, hot Alphas? I've been smitten with them in fashion journals and the media. How can I handle being with them in real life?
I was sinking deep in my thoughts when a deep, sexy tone brought me back. “Kia, you're here?” A deep, seductive scent overwhelmed me, it was a combination of different sweet-smelling wild flowers. I turned to look at who was talking only to find myself gasping, stumbling before a pair of firm hands gripped my waist.
It's the Alpha kings!
My eyes ran a quick scan over them. They were dressed in black trousers and white shirts hugging their muscular physique tightly. Their entire existence screamed luxury, the most handsome, charming men I've ever come across. With these alluring identical looks, I thought I was seeing angels. Then they smelled of exquisite cologne on top of this strong alluring natural scent.
“Nadia, meet Tristan, Mario and Zayne, your kings.”
They didn't mind her but pulled their noses closer to me, I was vibrating with the hands of two of them still on my waist. From me, they shifted their gazes to Kia, then back to me.
“Mate?” They uttered in unison. Goosebumps covered my body instantly.
The last thing I ever thought of.
