Anabelle's POV
"Since we legally got married too, You'd hear from my lawyer soon" Lucas concluded walking away, holding Nicole's hand. "Baby let's go on a vacation...." Nicole suggested as they walked away. Her voice faded at the distance with my heart fainting. Jeremy, the maids and the two Betas followed suit, leaving me standing frozen at a spot. I saw my entire life crash before my eyes. "Lucas rejected me...." I said with a faint voice, walking back to my chambers with tears in my eyes. All I did for the past six months was to hope and trust, believing Lucas would come back to his senses but that day obviously wasn't going to come after his declaration.
Then the craziest of thought creeped into my mind after crying my eyes out for hours in my room. "I've stayed loyal to Lucas all our lives as a couple, just to be betrayed over and over again, sex starved and abused. Getting divorced is my breaking point. And getting rejected threw me off the edge. I've got nothing to lose now. I'd give Lucas a taste of his own medicine, in the sweetest way possible". I dashed out of my room and barged into Logan's room. He jumped up, surprised at my entrance into his room.
"Anabelle, are you alright?" he asked as I approached him. I pushed him to the wall and kissed him deeply, disengaged from him and said, "Make love to me Logan, make me feel like a woman once again". He was still startled and in shock that he hesitated holding me. But I took the lead and pushed him down on the bed. I stripped off my clothes and was completely naked, leg spread apart on top of Logan. I felt his cock grew as I sat on him. "Ana...…" Logan tried speaking when I interrupted. "You want this as much as I do, SO BE A MAN, AND DEVOUR ME!". That was the go ahead Logan needed.
We made love passionately that night. He brought me alive with his touches, caresses and sweet words. I couldn't get enough of him so we went on and on until exhaustion. Logan and I slept in each other's arms like we were a married couple. Sadly I had to return back to my room before dawn when the maids would come to attend to me. Logan decided to drop me off at the entrance of his room, since I insisted he shouldn't escort me to my chambers.
"Can I kiss you?" Logan politely asked as I stood outside his door. Never in my life did I ever encounter a sexually reserved man like Logan. "Mmmmmm, I don't see why not," I replied with a smile. We kissed and said our goodbyes then Logan went into his room. Just when I turned around to leave, once again I coincidentally saw Jeremy standing far back in the walkway. This time I was certain he saw me.
I walked straight to him and said "You didn't see anything!". He respectfully bowed his head and replied, "Luna Anabelle, my cursed condition which married me to spectacles, refuses me to see far objects, my spectacles are back in my room. I truly couldn't have seen anything when I have myopia" I was relieved at the same time sorry he had such a condition. I quietly walked away from him without saying a word.
Logan and I met more frequently, sometimes in my room, at times at his. We became so emotionally attached to each other, sharing our pains and joy. I felt alive in his arms. With Lucas going on vacation with Nicole for a month, we both had the mansion to ourselves. Nevertheless, concealing our affair from the domestic staff.
Lucas had promised to invite the lawyer over once he gets back from his trip.
The news of their arrival a month later was like bad news to me. I wished they never came back. "Brother!" Logan and Lucas exchanged pleasantries.
As I watched the two brothers laugh together in the sitting room, I knew if Logan's secret affair was revealed it could somewhat break their bond.
The two brothers although were not always seen together, but they did love each dearly. One could do just about anything for the other. Just like tales had it that Logan relinquished the crown to Lucas for peace to reign, although their late father, Alpha Hermes blessed Logan as king before his death. Lucas even after being defeated in the Alpha contest, demonstrated intense displeasure to his brother winning almost all the obstacles. Logan, seeing it could cause a rift between them, requested Lucas be crowned Alpha instead of him. "Whether me or you on the throne, doesn't change a thing, you can have the crown" Logan said to his brother in the coronation.
"Ana, can you help me with the salt?" Logan requested I pass him salt while we had dinner together with Nicole and Lucas. Lucas stared at Logan for a while and said, "Since when do you address Anabelle as Ana?" Lucas read a meaning to it. I and Logan stared at each other for a while before he defended himself that we were only friends and I didn't have a problem with being addressed as Ana.
Once again the dining table was quiet and only the sound heard was that of the cutleries. Logan decided to ask Lucas a sensitive question, "And isn't she your soon to be ex-wife?. I mean brother you've rejected her before the moon goddess, just legal formalities to be done... .but you shouldn't be bothered on how she's addressed yeah" his statement got Nicole's attention that she dropped her cutlery on the plate and stared at Lucas. Lucas defenselessly rubs her hand to ease her discomfort from Logan's statement. The air around the table was so tense but uncle Richardson kept everywhere alive with his funny jokes.
Two days later, Lucas sent for his lawyer, Christian Anderson. I expected seeing an old Elite with white grey hair, wrinkled face and a briefcase in his hands. But to my surprise, I walked into the sitting room to see a young man in his early thirties, handsome and well trimmed. Upon exchange of pleasantries between Lucas and Christian, there was truly an old elite who handled the Alpha's fortune and that was Christian's late father Anderson. After his demise Christian took over the firm.
The two men seemed close as they stood conversing happily for a while. "Christian please, have a seat" Lucas politely said as we three sat down. "Anabelle, would you like to say anything before we proceed?" Lucas suddenly asked me.
I kept a confused look staring at him before replying to him. "Let's get on with it Lucas" he was puzzled for seconds, staring at me. "Right...…. right, let's proceed". I smirked seeing the look of disappointment on his face. He expected as before I'd kneel and beg him to change his mind but I was already fed up of pleading for my place, I wanted out. Especially now my heart found someone else.
The lawyer took us through minutes of pep talks before handing over the papers first to me. I didn't hesitate in sealing my signature on the divorce papers, leaving Lucas dazed. Just before Lucas signed his we three heard, "Oh Darling, is it over already?!" it was Nicole, she walked into the sitting room with her heavy baby bump and a glass of juice in her hands.
Surprisingly she gasped in shock, and the glass of juice fell to the ground shattering to pieces. "Babe, is everything okay?" Lucas hurried to her, but her frozen body made no gesticulations. I traced her eyes to Christian who too gazed at Nicole. "You!" Christian said, pointing to Nicole. "Do you two know each other?" Lucas asked out of curiosity seeing how they both stared at each other. "Oh baby…... .I really gotta go" Nicole said, holding her belly like she had some discomfort.
"You're not going anywhere Nicole, hold it right there!" Christian ordered, as she halted to a stop. Lucas became agitated, "Can someone tell me what exactly is going on?" he asked. "My love, do you know this man?" Lucas inquired further, but Nicole was uneasy and said nothing. "No love, I don't know him" Nicole replied after seconds of silence. "Nicole, you're denying me?"
Christian asked Nicole whose face was buried to the ground.
"Explain clearly Nicole who this man is to you!" Lucas became furious. Nicole couldn't say a word as she stood like a statue, burying her head down. "She doesn't have anything to say to Lucas, she's defenseless. Nicole here worked in Dad's firm as his secretary back in New Orleans, we had several sexual encounters that made us lovers. Due to my extravagant lifestyle all because of her, dad threatened cutting me off his inheritance promising to relinquish them to my kid sister. And when Dad finally did execute his threats after his demise with the will read, Nicole dumped me" Christian said showing an image of him and Nicole on his wallet.
As much as It all came as a surprise to me, It was expected. "Luckily for me, my kid sister who's so kind, took her part of the inheritance and left my intended assets to me since she was the sole proprietor of everything. This woman is nothing but a gold digger!" Christian concluded with a furious tone. Lucas was disappointed, he kept staring at her but ..couldn't say a word. Christian walked up to Nicole and said to her,"And how's my child Nicole?". "What child" silent Lucas once again became agitated.
"I'm the father of her baby, Lucas" Christian words came like a piercing arrow to Lucas's heart who staggered a bit. "Is what he's saying true?" Lucas held onto her arms, holding her tightly like he wanted to rip the answer off her. Nicole began shedding tears."Even after I begged her to stay back, she left saying she wouldn't want a failed man like me to father her child, that she had someone better" the more the words proceeded out of the mouth of Christian's lips the more tears Nicole shed and the more furious Lucas became.
"Lucas, I love you" Nicole said with tears in her eyes. "Answer the goddamn question, is what he's saying true Nicole?" Lucas asked further and this time his arms began transforming to his wolf arms. Nicole became scared and nodded in confirmation. "Yes…... .yes, please don't kill me, it's true" Nicole admitted to it begging for Lucas to spare her life but Lucas transformed completely to his wolf form. Then he said angrily, "I'm not gonna spare you, I'd rip you apart!"
