Hailey's

POV

I stared at Alex in shock. What was he doing? I thought. He was supposed to be supporting me. Does he not care about his position as Alpha anymore? It seemed like I was not the only shocked one. Julian and Philip also looked surprised. "Alex? What is that supposed to mean? You lied to me? To us? You were not truly mates with Hailey? The shaman is right?" Mother asked multiple questions in shock. "The shaman is never wrong. She's a legend if you have not heard...,"

"Silence Evan! Don't cut me off," Mother said firmly. She must be really pissed speaking to a member of the council like that. I really hope Alex is not about to do what I think he is. Else, my life will be ruined. His support is what has brought me this far. I can't afford to lose it now.

"Alex, this is the limit. How dare you both do something like this? Have you lost your mind?" Father inquired quite angrily.

"Calm down everyone. I meant to say what Hailey said was right. We are truly mates. Trust me. If you will excuse me, I have a lot of work to tend to," he said before walking out of the room.

"Alex might need company since you all just accused him of something so serious that he did not do. Excuse us too," Julian said before heading out with Philip in the same direction as Alex.

"I believe in my sons. If they said it isn't true, then it's not," Mother said after they left. I let out a sigh of relief. That was really close. I was terrified for no reason. Alexander will never jeopardize what he has. He won't take such a risk and it has to stay that way for me to remain safe.

"I don't think this is such a good idea. We have to get to the bottom of this not just on the words of your son.."

"Who is also your Alpha? Thank the council on our behalf Elder Evan and tell them that we can handle our family matters perfectly on our own, they don't need to interfere. You may take your leave now," Mother said.

"I'm sorry for this sharlam but I believe my children without any doubt," Mother said to the shaman.

"Do you really?" Sharlam asked.

"Yes, I do. They've never lied to me before and they will never," Mother replied with confidence. I wanted to scoff but I held back. She would be shocked to replace out the truth.

"Motherhood is a beautiful thing and it's good that you have this unbreakable trust in your kids. You are all good people, I can tell when I felt the aura of you all and the warmth from your home but people are bound to make mistakes and your kids made a terrible one. I know what I'm talking about. I hope you all realize this soon," she said before standing up.

"What is that supposed to mean? What mistake?" Mother asked curiously.

"May goddess be with you all," was all she said before quietly taking her leave. We watched her in silence. She walked at such a fast pace for an old lady. I was glad she was finally gone. Her presence was making me so uncomfortable.

"This family's business is the council's business. The council won't be happy about this situation," Evan said.

"Leave," Father ordered. He stood up and left quite upset. We were finally all alone. Mother looked at me pleadingly. "Hailey...,"

"It's good that you believed what Alex said after I spent hours trying to explain the exact same thing. I thought we were a family but I was clearly wrong. I was the only one who thought of you both as parents. You've made it clear that I'm nothing but just your daughter-in-law," I said in a hurt tone, tears running down my cheeks before turning around and running away. They tried to call me back but I didn't listen or stop. Not that I was hurt, obviously not. I wiped the fake tears from my cheeks. I just wanted them to think I was and reflect on their actions. That way, they will never doubt me again.

I was walking into my room when I saw Sharlam. I thought she left. Why was she still in my house? I walked towards her.

"What are you still doing here? After you just tried to ruin my life with your lies," I said to her rudely.

"You have a very dark aura. I can feel the darkness coming from you. It hasn't completely swallowed you yet. Repent and ask for forgiveness for all you've done," she said. Her words sent chills running down my spine. It was like she was looking right through me. "W..what are you going on about? Hag," I stuttered before walking away from her. She made me feel very uncomfortable in my own house and I detested that feeling. I walked into my room and shut the door with a bang. Although Mother sent Sharlam and Evan away, I know this issue about an heir won't end here. It will go on until I conceive which has to happen. Mother and Father are starting to get suspicious and although they both loved their children, they were no fools. They will definitely try to get to the bottom of this.

I suddenly sniffed a scent I knew way too well. I was kind of expecting her. Time to channel my rage on someone that deserves it. I grabbed a vase, turned around abruptly, and threw it at her. She dodged the vase but the water splashed on her dress and the flower scattered across the room.

"What on earth? Why are you so angry? You could have cracked my head open if I didn't dodge the vase on time," Ari said in a surprised tone.

"That was the idea," I replied before angrily throwing another vase trying to catch her off guard but she dodged it again. The more she dodged, the angrier I became. Good thing I had lots of vases in my room. I continued to throw while she dodged. Soon enough, I ran out of vases to throw.

"Can you stop and tell me what I did to warrant this anger? I don't get it," she pleaded nervously. I walked towards her at a fast pace as my eyes changed color. I wanted to unleash my wolf on her. She made me humiliate myself in front of that cheap low girl. "Calm down Hailey and tell me what I did wrong. I'm honestly lost here. I came to ask you how the party went and if you achieved all you wanted. I even brought your favorite snacks," she said with a small smile.

Hearing her say the word party fueled my anger. "Do you think I want any snacks after what you did?" I asked angrily, my claws lengthening.

"What did I do? If you kill me right now, you will never be able to get away with it. So, just keep your wolf tucked away," she said, backing away from me.

"I can get away with anything. I'm Luna," I sneered.

"Yes you are, no one is arguing with you about that fact but what will your mother and father-in-law think of you?" she asked.

"I couldn't care less. You told me the dress was a limited edition. You said only I was going to be the only one wearing it at the party but it was raining a blue sparkly dress that day," I replied furiously. I might have exaggerated a bit but I felt really angry that I had to wear the same dress as her. It was degrading.

She gasped. "You don't say. I had that dress flown in from another country. It costs a fortune. Who else could have afforded that dress? They must be filthy rich. Do I know them?" she asked curiously.

"You don't need to know, just know that you let me down big time," I responded. I wasn't about to tell her it was Emma. No one could know she was alive.

"I'm so sorry, actually, I came here to help make you feel better. Let me make up for what I caused," she pleaded.

"I doubt you can change my murderous intentions toward you right now," I retorted.

"I heard about what happened and I think I might be able to help. I know a very good gynecologist who can treat you and make you conceive. She won gynecologist of the year twice in a row. A friend of mine visited her after being childless for eight years and she's currently having her second child," Ari explained.

A gynecologist? I never thought about that and if she's good as Ari said, it's going to be the solution to all my problems. I am going to give this pack an heir to solidify my position and also to prove everyone who ever doubted me wrong. I am Alexander's mate and I will prove that to everyone.
