Chapter 10
Trent's POV
Somehow, I could not help but feel the emptiness of the house after she left. I did not know why I thought that somehow I would be happier now, without having her lie to my face and cheat behind my back.
The thought of her betrayal stung me again, instantly replacing the loneliness I felt in my heart.
" Babe. You woke up so early this morning and I was trying to reach you" the new love of my life, Candice said.
When she had moved into the pack house I did not think much of it, after all she was my mate's best friend. But in the long run, I had to thank her, for opening my eyes to the cheating of the woman I loved.
I turned around, planting a kiss on her lips, savouring her moans before I pulled away.
" I have a lot of work to do today. and I also have to entertain alpha harden later. Perhaps you should look for something to do in the kitchen, I heard the staff need an extra hand up cooking dinner this night" I said to her.
She pursed her lips as though I had just insulted her.
" What is that supposed to mean? You want me to demean myself to the level of cooking with mere servants?" She asked.
I inwardly sighed.
" Of course not babe. It's not a problem if you can't do it, but as the Luna and my wife I just thought you would be more in charge of cooking my meals" I said to her.
She scoffed, a loud uncomfortable hiss following the scoff as she looked at me.
" You don't love me, that is the only reason I can think of that would make you think I would slave away in the kitchen to make your meals when we have experienced chefs" she said.
I pulled her into my lap to comfort her quickly.
" Okay, I'm sorry okay? It was a bad suggestion. If you are bored you can watch a movie or something" I said to her, burying my lips into her neck and inhaling her intoxicating scent.
" No, I want to go shopping for that new bag you promised me" she said, a slight pout on her lips.
I sighed, knowing this was where it would all lead to at the end.
She giggled a little as she picked up my black card, giving me a small kiss on my forehead before walking out.
Did I make the wrong decision celebrating her as my Luna?
I could not continue with my thoughts as alpha harden walked in, the man I had known for a long time, grew up with him and saw him as a brother.
" Your new Luna is a very pretty one huh. I'm so glad you got rid of that no good cheat. I always knew something about how she acted kindly to you was not right" he said, taking his seat.
I did not want to talk about Veronica, not while my heart still longed for her, wishing she was somewhere near so I could appraise the lines on her body just like I always did.
But it was obvious that was the only thing harden wanted to talk about.
" We should get started on the new contract now. What do you think about a modern building?" I was saying, trying to steer the conversation away from her but he was not buying it.
" You know who my wife said she saw in a hotel yesterday?" He asked, his eyes glinting mischievously just as they always did whenever he was about to say something big.
I was curious now, my heart pounding as I asked the question..." Who did she see?"
He grinned, as though he had been waiting all his life for that question.
" She saw your former Luna. And the alpha of gold crest pack, alpha Lloyd. In a hotel together" he said.
It took a brief second for me to register the information, but when I finally did, I was livid with anger and disgust.
How did I not realize from the beginning that she was such a disgusting slut? She did not even wait for after leaving my house, instead she jumped right straight into another man's arms.
" I never knew she was such a slut" I said underneath my breath, the dull ache still sounding in my chest.
" It's a good thing candice told you about her wayward behavior, imagine if she already had a child for you." He said and I sighed.
Thank goodness there was no child in the picture.
Throughout the rest of the day, even though I tried to focus, somehow I could not shake off her image out of my head.
I groaned in frustration as I got up, half of my work still undone, the night fall already coating the sky like a blanket.
I headed to my room, my steps nimble, walking almost soundlessly on the floor. I was nearly near my room door when I heard a low voice at the other end of the hallway talking to someone.
I listened with my werewolf senses and I knew instantly that the voice belonged to Candice.
This realization called to my attention the fact that I had not seen her since she left my office this morning.
So I walked slowly, steps as light as a feather as I drew closer to where she stood.
I could make out the silhouette of her shape as she stood by the window, talking into her phone.
" It is all going according to plan so be rest assured." She said and my suspicion grew. Who was she talking to?
" I love you too" she said and that was it for me.
I revealed myself quickly, watching the phone fall out of her hands as she looked at me.
" Who were you talking to just now?" I asked her, my eyes furrowed into slits.
