The Cursed Alpha & His Forced Luna novel Chapter 2

~Kate~

A woman’s loud moans reached Kate’s room, alarming the maid and medical staff attending to her. Xander and his fated, Delilah, were doing it in the other room without bothering to be discreet!

While lying in bed, Kate felt the pain surge in her body. Tears rolled down her cheeks, but she clenched her jaws not to show any weakness, her hands balled into fists.

“Hurry!” Kate’s maid, Adriana, urged the doctor and nurse. She also cried with Kate. “Hurry, can’t you see she is in pain?”

The needle pricked Kate’s arm, and the morphine slowly did its magic, tricking her brain to feel no pain.

Delilah moved into the packhouse four months ago, and everything turned from bad to worse for Kate.

Delilah, Alpha Denzel’s daughter, was no innocent woman. She frequently created drama in the packhouse. Often, she would turn Kate into a villain by acting like a white lotus.

On the first day, Delilah joined them for breakfast. She gave an apologetic look and said, “I’m sorry, Luna Kate. This is not what I had wanted for myself. I did not mean to get in between your marriage -”

At that time, Kate was still resentful and directly retorted, “Really? Then why did you spread your legs for a married man?”

“That’s enough, Kate!” Xander scolded her. “Can’t you see how Delilah meant no harm? Show respect because she is also my mate, my destined.”

Kate did not know how it happened, but Delilah earned points that day. She started gaining sympathy from a few of the packhouse’s workers and selected warriors, especially from Xander.

Moving to the room next to the master’s bedroom was also Delilah’s assertion. Kate’s bed had long turned cold, and she knew Delilah wanted to shove it up in her face by moaning like a whale each time Xander touched her. It wasn’t enough for Delilah that Kate was battered each time it happened.

The most notable occurrence, however, was how Delilah slipped on the floor on purpose after walking past Kate. Back then, Delilah cried, “Xander, I might have lost our baby! Kate walked past me too fast by accident!”

First of all, Kate was shocked that Delilah was pregnant. After a year of trying to get pregnant herself, Kate and Xander were never blessed with a pup, while Delilah got pregnant in just two months! Second, Kate did nothing to Delilah. She was simply walking!

Although Delilah did not lose the baby, that incident completely changed how Xander treated Kate. He hit her for the first time and sent Kate to the dungeons for five days. Kate officially became the evildoer in Xander’s eyes.

Kate could go on and on and make a book of Delilah’s schemes. However, no matter how she tried to expose Delilah, Xander could not see through her lies. He was utterly blinded by the true mate’s bond.

And as for Xander’s solution of making things work for Kate? He decided that the pack’s doctor would give Kate painkillers whenever he wanted to bed his mistress. This was also why the doctor and nurse were already living in the packhouse, so they could attend to Kate whenever possible.

It started with simple painkillers, but as each week passed, Xander and Delilah’s appetite for intimacy grew stronger, and giving Kate a tranquilizer became necessary.

Unfortunately, the medications could only stop the pain, but they did nothing to prevent the damage to Kate’s body. Each time, Kate would be covered in bruises, taking a week at most for Kate’s body to heal.

The moans fired up again in the other room, suggesting Xander and Delilah were up for another round. The doctors regretably gave Kate a tranquilizer this time around.

“This cannot go on. How much more can Luna Kate take if Alpha Xander cannot help himself? He should just reject Luna Kate,” the nurse said faintly.

“But he is our alpha,” the doctor reminded the nurse. “If you want to live, keep your opinions to yourself.”

When Xander finally addressed all his desires in the other room, the doctor and nurse left Kate’s quarters. Kate’s maid remained inside, crying for her. She held Kate’s hand and said, “This isn’t right. My dearest Luna. We must leave here soon.”

Kate was still awake. She wept again, not for her, but how Adriana felt sorry for her. She gripped Adriana’s hand and ordered, “We must find Glinda.”

Adriana nodded. She replied, “I am trying my best, my Luna. Soon, I will find Glinda for you.”

Because of her current state, Kate was determined to leave, but Xander had warriors guarding the pack, and worst, his alpha command was above her. Defying him meant facing a greater deal of torture.

Time and time again, Xander had refused Kate’s request to be rejected. If Kate wanted to be free from her husband, Kate’s only hope was Glinda, the witch who did her a favor, a favor which turned out to be a disadvantage to her now.
