"Moon goddess, help me." I whispered, my voice strained in between gasps for air. My mind was getting foggy from all the pain and my heart thumped and twitched uncontrollably. I bit my lip, holding back a scream that threatened to escape my throat as the throbbing pain in my chest persisted.
I held on to my chest and crawled slowly out of bed. I was drenched in my own sweat from trying to cover the distance between my bed and the window. Every step felt like a marathon.
"Nel...Jacob." I cried out, my voice desperate and pleading. "Please.."
Where was he when I needed him the most? He was out again, with the rest of his friends, partying, or attending to pack business like he claims.
I stumbled, my legs trembling as I made my way to the window. It was a full moon, a bittersweet reminder of the night I bonded with Nel. I leaned against the windowsill and sighed in relief, tears dripping down my eyes in torrents as I absorbed the moonlight. It was the only thing that could temporarily alleviate this curse from me.
Ever since my marriage to my mate and Alpha, Jacob, this pain had been a companion. It started on the night after the consummation of my wedding with Jacob. It was abrupt, a sharp stabbing pain that tore through my very being.
Jacob had rushed in minutes after the pain had subsided, tears in his eyes, apologizing profusely. But he never explained what was happening to me, or why. All I knew was that his presence seemed to calm the pain, and the moonlight was my only solace when he was away.
At the minutes ticked by, the pain slowly receded leaving behind a deep sadness.
I had always been told I was a weakling, learning to live with the feeling of inadequacy, but I held on to the hope that everything would be fine when I met my mate.
I had always imagined what it would be like to finally meet my mate, I would spend hours fantasizing about how in love we would be and how many pups we would give birth to. But the reality seemed different, my bond with Jacob only seemed to be growing distant by the day.
I remembered our first night together like it was yesterday. It was filled with love and passion as he marked me, his teeth sinking into my skin. It was the one time he looked at me as though I was his. Now, he barely looked at me or simply treated me like a stranger.
With tears pricking at the corner of my eyes, I cried myself to sleep, alone in the darkness.
I woke up to the sound of Jacob's footsteps, his presence a stark contrast to the emptiness I'd felt the night before. I got up from the bed feeling like a bag of bones and made my way to the dining room, where he was already seated, a cup of coffee in hand.
He spared me a passive glance before returning to piercing a piece of bacon with a fork and bringing it to his lips.
"Good morning." I greeted, my voice hoarse from all the crying last night.
"Morning." He merely responded. I waited, expecting him to ask how I managed through the night or if I had slept well. But he kept on munching on his food, leaving me standing there awkwardly.
I walked off silently, to clean up. I came downstairs excited that he had returned, forgetting to do my morning routine.
When I returned downstairs, a breakfast table was set with a spread of pastries, eggs, and bacon.
He was done eating and just sat there waiting for me to finish. I ate in awkward silence, not knowing what to say to him, the only sound was the clinking of utensils on plates.
After a long stretch of silence, Jacob finally cleared his throat, filling his glass cup with water. "I have another pack meeting to attend," he said, his voice formal. "The neighboring alphas are gathering to discuss trade agreements."
I sighed, feeling a familiar sense of disappointment. Another meeting, another day and night to be alone. I could not stop him from going, so instead I decided to make a request.
