Second Chance: Done with My Cheating Husband

"Sign this contract. Be my Luna for a year. I'll help you get back at your ex and his mistress." he smiled, looking at me in a way that made my bottom wet. "I know you want them to suffer."

--Evelyn tried to be the perfect Luna, managing the pack and raising her husband Tristan's bastard child as her own. Yet all her efforts were betrayed when Tristan brought the bastard child's birth mom back and asked to divorce Evelyn. Evelyn even learnt the dark truth that her own child from 3 years ago didn't die in a miscarriage as she thought--it was brutally killed by her husband and mistress. At this lowest point of her life, Evelyn received a proposal from Alpha Ahser, who happened to be the one person her ex-husband wanted to impress. Be his contract Luna, he would help her win. Now with the strongest ally, Evelyn came back for her revenge. Soon she would discover that the partnership between her and Asher had turned into something else...Love.

Evelyn’s POV

“I’m so glad you are here tonight, Leah. I love you.” Tristan said.

My husband, the Alpha of Blazewood Pack, held the beautiful blonde in his arm, planting a soft kiss on her forehead.

I froze on my spot after seeing this. All the guests in the banquet hall were stealing glances at me, whispering and jeering.

“Is that Leah Middleton?” My maid Mandy gasped, “What’s she doing here?!”

My husband brought her here, obviously.

Tonight was the Full Moon festival. We should attend as Alpha and Luna. But instead, Tristan brought her, not giving a damn about how humiliating this was to me.

Leah Middleton was Tristan’s high school sweetheart, Ironclaw Pack’s Alpha’s daughter. She and Tristan were the perfect couple until Leah broke up with him. Rumors said that she cheated on him with another man.

Tristan met me a year later at a party. We found out that we were mates and instantly fell in love. Nobody in my family was thrilled about our relationship. But I still ran away from home and married into Blazewood Pack.

We were mates, blessed by the Moon Goddess. How bad could it be?

But I was wrong. So wrong.

The first bump in our marriage was my miscarriage. I lost my child during a business meeting. Tristan blamed me for it. He thought I was too careless.

To fix the trauma, we adopted a sweet little boy called Roman. But a child still couldn’t fix our marriage. Tristan started to grow cold to me.

And now, Leah was back, my husband’s first love.

Was she here to take him away from me?

Suppressing the panic, I strode up to them.

“Leah, you should leave.” I tried to say this with as much dignity as possible. “And stay away from my husband.”

Leah rounded her big, innocent eyes and looked over to Tristan.

“Love, shall we tell her?” she asked softly.

I started to get a bad feeling. “Tell me what?”

Tristan gave me an indifferent look, “Leah will stay here from now on.”

I couldn’t believe what I just heard. “Stay here? As what? Are you out of your mind?!”

Tears quickly welled up in Leah's eyes, “I know you hate me, Evelyn. It's all my fault. But Tristan didn’t do anything wrong so please don’t yell at him.”

“Do you mind? I’m talking to my husband!” I snapped.

“Be nice to her!” Tristan growled.

“I won’t threaten your position. I promise.” Leah blinked innocently, “You can still be Luna. All I want is to stay with Tristan…and my child.”

The ground was slipping away underneath my feet. My legs went soft, and I couldn’t stand straight.

“Child? What child?” I asked through clenched teeth.

They had a child together? How come I didn't know about this??

They exchanged a look. And then finally, Tristan spoke up, “It’s probably time to tell you the truth…Roman is Leah and my kid.”

I couldn’t breathe, “But you said…you adopted Roman from an orphanage! He doesn’t have any parents!”

“If I hadn’t said that, would you have accepted Roman and raised him as your own?” Tristan said with a frown. “Leah couldn’t raise Roman when the kid was born. So I brought him back here. It’s just a little harmless white lie.”

A harmless white lie?

I poured my heart out and raised the child of the woman who fucked my husband.

And now she swooped in and tried to take my child and husband away.

What am I? A free nanny to them?

“No, Tristan…I don’t want her here.” I gritted, trying hard not to let my tears fall. “This is unacceptable. Send her away please…I am asking as your wife and Luna!”

“She stays. End of discussion!” Tristan growled.

“If she stays…I’m afraid that you are driving me away,” I said, trembling.

My heart was in my throat. Because even I couldn’t be sure whom he would choose.

Tristan looked frustrated. Yet before he spoke up, Leah burst out crying.

“Don’t push him! This is all my fault…I never want to be the third woman in your marriage…I—I should go!” she sobbed and turned away, running out of the banquet hall.

Tristan snapped his head towards me and glared, “Now are you happy?”

With that, he stormed out as well to chase her. They were gone within seconds.

I swayed on my feet, pain and humiliation washing over me. Tristan had just made his decision--between me and Leah, he chose the latter.

All the guests were watching with jeers. Nobody came forward to comfort me. Tristan’s members all thought I was a country girl from a small Northern pack. And I didn't deserve their great Alpha.

They were probably thrilled to have Leah here to replace me, since she was an Alpha’s daughter.

“Luna Evelyn, are you OK?” my maid Mandy asked, worried.

“I…I need to lie down…”

I escaped the banquet hall, staggering, away from those gloating eyes.

But I couldn’t sleep.

How could I sleep knowing that my husband was being with another woman?

After crying in my room alone for a few hours, I steeled myself up and went to find Tristan in his room.

We should talk.

We could make this work.

Yet the soldiers outside of Tristan’s room stopped me. They told me that the Alpha was busy right now.

“Busy with what? He doesn't have time for his wife?” I asked in disbelief.

“This is Alpha's order,” the soldier replied coldly.

I was angry. Just as I wanted to keep arguing, a sharp pain coursed through my body. I bent over, groaning out.

This pain was caused by betrayal. In the werewolf world, when your mate cheats on you, you feel the unbearable pain and get the image of them having sex.

Those images were in my head at this very moment.

Just across this door, they were naked on our wedding bed. Leah’s legs were wrapped around Tristan’s waist, and he was fucking her like a wild beast.

“Oh…oh my god, harder, harder!” she shrieked.

He grabbed her bouncing boob and growled, “You are amazing…fuck…I love you.”

A sick feeling surged up in me.

I struggled a few steps forward and threw up.
