The Luna and Her Quadruplet Pups

Malia

"Congratulations, Luna Malia. You're eligible for your first round of Ivf."

I couldn't contain my excitement as I made my way home, eager to share the news with Jackson. The pack doctor had just confirmed that I was eligible for my first round of IVF. My mate, Jackson and Alpha of the Moonblood pack, and I had been trying to have children for what felt like forever, but each time, I suffered heartbreak as I lost the pregnancies. The idea of IVF had randomly come to me one day, and Jackson, being the supportive Alpha and the mate he is, agreed without hesitation.

As I approached our house it felt like I would explode with excitement. I had it in mind to call my best friend, Melissa, first, but I wanted to share the news with Jackson first. I parked my car in front of the house and rushed out of the car without even taking the key out of the ignition. I was that excited.

Trying to have a child has always been a big deal for Jackson and me. I've always had the fear of failing to give him an heir just like I've failed to be a complete Luna.

My gut churned with pain, but I pushed it down. Today is a day of happiness not to recount failures.

I walked inside hastily, not surprised to see Jackson downstairs. He must have finished the pack meeting early. I shake my head at the messy state of his shoes, he always does that, but I never had a problem cleaning or arranging after him. It's the least I could do he's my mate and Alpha, and I love him. I'll arrange the shoes after I tell him.

I have too much excitement to try and contain.

As I neared our room, I noticed a strange noise coming from inside. Confused, but still smiling and excited, I push open the door, only to be met with a sight that shattered my heart into a million pieces.

"Oh, fuck yes!" The moan erupts throughout the room. There, in our bed, was Jackson, my mate and husband, entangled with another woman. Their moans filled the room, drowning out my own heartbeat.

Shock and disbelief washed over me as I stood frozen in the doorway. How could he do this to me? How could he betray our love and everything we had built together? Tears welled up in my eyes, blurring my vision as I tried to comprehend the scene before me. My excitement was buried and long forgotten.

Jackson's movements halt and he stops as he realizes I have caught him in the act. He groans and rolls off the woman slowly, his face had nothing like guilt and regret written on it "Are you incapable of knocking?" he asked roughly, "We were in the middle of something." Jackson uttered without any care for my feelings. The pain in my chest was suffocating, and I couldn't find the strength to respond.

"Jackson... h-how could you? After everything we've been through?" I stuttered, I was in pain. It felt like my entire being had been ripped from the inside out.

My hand instinctively goes to my chest, It hurts so much. Why does it hurt like this? Is this what pain and betrayal feels like?

"How could I what? Cheat on you?" I've been doing it for so long now you were just too busy being a failure to notice." He sneers, delivering another intentional blow of hurt.
