Unraveling Avas Heart

"I'm very sorry to disturb you Alpha sir, but we just rushed the Luna to the hospital right now." I heard our chief maid-Lora tell my husband on the phone. She thought I was sleeping, but her speaker was loud and I could hear everything they were saying.

"Is she dead?" I heard Lincoln ask, as a woman's voice giggled in his background.

My maid gasped in horror. "No Sir! Why would you say such a thing-"

"Then why the hell are you calling me?!" Lincoln snapped back angrily and the woman in the background laughed louder. I knew that woman's voice. It was Alison, my husband's girlfriend. The one he was sleeping with.

"I don't have time for that useless woman's games, and I'm not interested in anything that has to do any daughter of a disgusting rogue, but if she dies, please let me know, so I can finally celebrate my freedom. Good bye!" Lincoln snapped before rudely cutting the call.

I pretended to wake up and turned to Lora. "Was that Lincoln? What did he say?" I asked.

Lora immediately put on a fake smile as she turned to me. "Alpha said that you should rest well and focus on healing. He can't wait for you to come home!" Lora lied.

"But what about the medical bill?" I asked. "You know I don't have the money-"

"Oh .. that, don't worry ma'am, Alpha said he will take care of it." Lora smiled uneasily.

Now I knew 100% that Lora was lying. My husband Alpha Lincoln was the wealthy heir to the largest pack in the region but he already made it absolutely clear that he would never ever waste a precious penny on me if it wasn't for my burial. But I still returned Lora's fake smile because there was nothing else I could do.

I knew what was going to happen now. Lora and the rest of my servants would scrape up their measly savings and pay for my hospital bills because they pitied me.

This had been happening for the last three years of my marriage, If an emergency came up, our poor staff always sacrificed themselves to care for me, because everyone knew that Alpha Lincoln couldn't care less what happened to me.

Actually, Lincoln hoped I would die so that he could finally be free from this marriage that our fated mate bond had forced him into. 3 years ago, Alpha Lincoln discovered that I was his fated mate, and since his girlfriend had just recently dumped him, his father encouraged him to marry me and he agreed.

But I had a secret no one knew. A shameful one.

The truth was that even though I had to marry Alpha Lincoln because we were fated mates.... I was already in love with him formany years before that. In fact, I had been foolishly and hopelessly, in love with Lincoln for every day of the last 11 years of my life.

From the day I saw him when I was just 12, I had dreamt of being with him forever. So when we discovered we were fated mates and Lincoln asked me to marry him, I had screamed yes!

But that was the worst mistake of my life, because whatever love Lincoln had for me, vanished the very second that his ex girlfriend Alison walked back into his life.

At first my marriage to Lincoln was beautiful, and Lincoln was everything I had imagined he would be.

I willingly surrendered everything to him. My life, my body my soul. I gave him everything.

But just one year into our marriage, everything turned into a nightmare.

Out of nowhere, Alison - his ex girlfriend who left him for a richer Alpha suddenly showed up to his office with an apology and a request to get back together with him.

I lost my husband that day, because the moment Lincoln set his eyes on her, he never looked away. And I had to watch as the only man I had ever loved, fell in love with another woman.

I was pregnant at that time, so I struggled to hold on to Lincoln, but then something tragic happened.

I lost our child... I lost Lincoln's child that I was carrying in my womb.

I don't know how it happened, but I somehow accidentally slipped down the stair and the fall was so bad that I lost our child.

I and Lincoln mourned our child, but Lincoln blamed me for our baby's death.
