Luna's Rejected Vengeful Mate
Luna’s Rejected Vengeful Mate Chapter 18

Natalia

I watched as Blake tried to replace the words to explain what the other woman was doing in his room at that hour. There was no need, of course; her purpose was obvious. She was only wearing lacy underwear. My dear husband probably hadn’t bothered to inform his mistress that I was coming home with him.

I insisted on asking him, glad that he felt uncomfortable. I lay on the bed and crossed my arms, waiting for his explanation. I wanted him to give me a good reason why that sl.ut was in his bed, and I had no intention of hiding it. That jerk didn’t mention his mistress when he forced me to sign his contract.

“Natalia, she wasn’t supposed to be in here, babe. She means nothing to me. We just had fun together, both single and unmated, nothing more. I didn’t get to inform my pack about our wedding and your arrival here today-I will deal with it, don’t worry.”

That was when the bathroom door opened, and the woman came out, dressed in her medical uniform, blushing and not looking at me. She stood awkwardly at the door, trying to figure out how to leave Blake’s room and save herself from further embarrassment.

“Well, it appears that this young lady is yet to be informed that you have a Luna now, darling,” I said sweetly, taking the lead and gesturing for Blake to come and sit by my side.

“By the way, Doctor, I am Natalia. Natalia White -Hunter, your Luna, as Alpha Blake has just informed you. It’s nice to meet you, although I do not appreciate how I found you lying in my husband’s bed. That’s a bad habit, my dear, entering single men’s rooms without them knowing. And your Alpha is no longer a single man, so take him off your list, will you?”

“Oh, and Blake, honey, let’s sleep in another room tonight and start renovating this room tomorrow, okay? I want everything to be new, including the bed.”

I turned my eyes from her face to Blake’s, and I didn’t miss the playfulness in his expression. Was that jerk having fun with me? I was only trying to make things clear to the Doctor in front of me.

“Yeah, right. And if you could, you would tear that beautiful face apart,” Leia joked, and I couldn’t agree more. My wolf’s opinion was accurate. I looked at the young Doctor; she was perfect in all ways; a tall, slim figure and a beautiful face.

“Blake?” I questioned, and he took me in his arms, kissing my forehead.

“Sure, sweetie, let’s do it,” he replied softly, turning to Emma. His Alpha voice, devoid of feeling, was stern and strictly professional.

“Call Timothy to come and check on your Luna. And next time, stay away from me and my bedroom, understood?”

“Yes, Alpha,” she whimpered at the tone of his voice and disappeared.

When she left the room, I pushed Blake back and stood up, crossing my arms and giving him a look that had frozen many males in court-my eyes were icy cold, and my plump lips formed a thin line that meant trouble for those who knew me well.

“Don’t you dare humiliate me like this again, mister-warn your mistresses about my existence, or so help me, Moon Goddess, I will forget about everything, and you can do whatever you want with that damn contract of yours, Blake Hunter,” I growled. “Now, take me to another room until the Doctor comes to check my head. I won’t stay in this bedroom another minute.”

Blake

I watched as Natalia left the room and mind-linked Timothy while I followed her.

“Timothy, you f**k.er! Why the hell did you send that b***h instead of coming yourself? I gave specific orders that you come to my room.”

“Hey, man! Jacob told me you were bringing another chick with you, and I thought it would be fun to tease you for once. You do that to me all the time,” my i***t friend replied, laughing his a.ss off.

“You f**k.ed up, man. Natalie is my wife and your f**k.ing Luna. I married her yesterday. Do you realise the tight spot you have put me in right now?”

“Blake, what are you talking about? All Jacob told me was that you are bringing a female with you, and he didn’t give me any details.”

“I instructed him to do so, Tim. I wanted to present her to all of you in the morning. And now I have to make excuses and renovate a whole room because of your stupid prank,” I scoffed. “Get your butt over to the guest room-I need you to check on her injury.”

Leading the way, I took Natalia to the guest room and helped her lie down despite her protests. I noticed her flushed face and realised that she wasn’t feeling well.

After knocking on the door and hearing me allowing him to enter, Timothy entered the room, his face flustered. He stood in the middle of the room, uncomfortable, looking at Natalia and me, waiting for my instructions.

“Timothy, this is my wife and your Luna, Natalia. Baby, this is our pack’s head doctor, Timothy. He might be an a*s.hole, but he is my friend,” I explained.

“Greetings, Luna,” was all that Tim said before I cut him off. I could not trust him, not now, at least.

“Check her head, Tim. She banged it on the windshield, and glass fragments pierced the skin on her forehead. Her wolf healed the wound, but I want to ensure she is all right.”

“May I, Luna?” he took a step forward, and Natalia nodded, smiling politely and giving her approval; he neared the bed and sat next to my wife, gaining himself a growl from Aries.

“Alpha, can you please explain to your wolf that to examine Luna, I have to get close to her?” Timothy gave me a dirty look and turned all his attention to Natalie. After checking her eyes and forehead, he asked my wife a few questions and stood up.

“All that the Luna needs is some rest. Her wolf has done an excellent job of healing her, Alpha. There might be a mild concussion from the blow. I will stop by tomorrow afternoon to check up on her again. All I need you to do is let her sleep for now and check on her every two hours. Wake her up and see if she responds. If she does, there is nothing for you to worry about, Alpha. Otherwise, let me know, and I will come again.”

Winking at me and greeting Nat, Timothy left the room. “Oh man, you have a piece of art in your hands. Our Luna is stunning, but she seems a hard nut to crack. Good luck, buddy; I think you will need it,” Timothy mind-linked at me, laughing again.

“Fu.ck you, Tim. I will deal with you when you least expect it,” I replied, frustrated with his immature behaviour. But then again, that was Tim. never taking anything seriously-always enjoying life to the fullest, not even bothering to look for his mate.

I turned to my wife, who was half-asleep and needed to change into more comfortable clothes. I went to my room, found her suitcase and took a pair of PJs out. Returning to the guest room, I tried to wake Natalia, but she was deep asleep.

I decided to act spontaneously and took off her jeans carefully, my mouth dry and my breath uneven. Touching her soft tanned skin, I was confident that my wife had the most beautiful long slender muscled legs-I couldn’t help but eye her sensitive spot, covered by lacy white underwear that left little to my wild imagination.

Carefully, I placed her jeans on a chair, pulled the covers back, helped Natalia inside the sheets and lay next to her-I was so tired that I immediately drifted to sleep.

I woke up to loud crying and sobbing. It took me a while to realise where I was. Natalia was lying next to me, her eyes closed, and tears ran down her face.

“Stop, Blake, please. My dad is innocent-vent your anger on me-I will step into the fire instead of him. Just let my dad go, please, Blake.”

Fire? What fire? s**t! Was Natalia having a nightmare with me in it?

I took her in my arms gently and wiped her teary face. I tried to wake her up, whispering and trying not to startle her.

“Natalia? Hey, Nat, wake up.”

Natalia

I walked the same path, the scary route I took every time I was anxious and frustrated. Was I having another of those nights?

I wasn’t sure. I followed the path, my eyes trying to scan my surroundings. The dark sky and high-pitched wolf howls alerted my senses, and I could feel the danger approaching-I had to leave that place. But why were my feet taking me forward? I couldn’t turn away and leave. Voices whispered my name, calling me towards the darkness.

I walked on, trying to figure out what was happening. Someone was crying; it was a man’s voice, and he was begging someone else to release him in a hoarse tone, but I couldn’t hear the other person’s reply.

My heart thundered in my chest, and cold sweat ran down my spine-the feeling of losing someone close to me made my eyes narrow and gave me the strength to run, to try to stop the impending disaster. Who was in danger? And why did the goddamn path have no end?

Like a steaming hot pot, the air burned my insides, leaving deep painful scars and bleeding wounds. I was suffocating, drowning, and brought down to my knees. Crying like a baby, I tried hard to control myself and get back on my feet. I was getting closer to where the crying had come from a while ago.

I moved forward, my nails digging into my palms. Suddenly, red flames appeared, and acrid smoke choked me. I started coughing, my whole body shaking violently.

The noise I made gave my location away, and heartbeats later, I was surrounded by wolves, baring their canines, ready to shred me into tiny pieces. I tried to replace a way out, but a loud growl made my b***d freeze- a large dark-furred wolf appeared, blocking my way. He was double the size of the rest, his dark blue eyes so cold and hateful when he looked at me. It felt like a razor cut through my heart. Who was that wolf? Why was I feeling so pained by his appearance?

The wolf forced me to move on, and I faced my father handcuffed to a chair, two men pulling him towards the fire.

“No! What are you doing? Please stop. Dad, Daddy,” I screamed, running toward him.

The dark-furred wolf shifted back to his human form-Blake Hunter was standing in front of me-the same Blake Hunter of the night my sister rejected him.

“Throw the old man in the fire,” he instructed his men, his icy stare fixed on me. “He has to pay for his daughter’s betrayal. Do it now!” he growled, and the men pushed my father closer to the fire.
