CHAPTER 14: HURT

MONICA'S POV

I woke up in my bed and yawned. It was a very long night and I had a very nice dream which greatly satisfied me. I felt at ease and a smile appeared on my face, I blushed as I remembered the hot kiss I shared with Alpha Brimstone in the dream. It was my first time having such a long passionate kiss and his touch on my body was something else.

Thinking about it, I felt like it happened for real as my body felt special somehow and for some reason, I missed him more. But why did he have to end it that way? We should have... gone further. It was a bit saddening that we didn't do the real deed but I was still happy and I stood up from the bed. I entered the bathroom, where I had a bath and that was when I noticed something funny in me... My panties were wet somehow. What's going on? "Edna, I'm confused. What's going on?" I asked Edna as I had no idea what was going on. It was strange to me and I couldn't fathom what was happening. Why would my panties be wet? All I had was a dream ~

Edna was quiet for a while. "If you think all that was a dream, how dumber can you be?" She scolded me and my eyes widened. I was shocked. What was she talking about? "Are you telling me that my dream is not a dream but a reality? Alpha Brimstone returned last night and we did all that together? He... he touched me that way?" I asked with disbelief in my voice and my heart was racing as I waited for Edna to reply to me. Every part of me wanted her to tell me it was reality and I desperately hope it was. Thinking that he touched me that way made me feel special and I was very happy about it.

"Of course! You grabbed him the moment you saw him and pulled him to bed. I thought he was going to push you away but he grabbed you back and started kissing you passionately. It was a hot night for you two. I even thought you were going to deliver a pub but too bad, he stopped earlier than I imagined." Edna explained and I could feel underlying mockery in her voice which irked me a little but I still smiled. It was nice to know that he touched me for real and it wasn't a dream. I took my bath quickly and returned to the room where I put on a short and a big top that belonged to Alpha Brimstone. I sat in the bed reminiscing about the erotic night when I remembered something and I furrowed my brows. "Edna, do you know why he did that?" I asked with confusion in my voice. "Did what?" Edna asked. "Will you be more specific, please?" She added and I rolled my eyes. "Other wolf reads minds but you are completely different. All you do is tease me, scold me, and act like a nagging mother at all times." I responded to her but she only growled "Tell me your question before I stop replying to you." She threatened and I bit my lower lip. I shouldn't scold her any longer. She is just too stubborn! Heck!

"Why do you think Alpha Brimstone left in the middle of that... last night? He suddenly made me sleep out of nowhere." I lamented and while I was waiting for Edna's reply, I started feeling uncomfortable. My heart was racing and my head was aching... I was in pain. What's this? What's going on? Am I dying already? "I heard it's after every two years and it's not two years yet. So, rule that out. I'm also feeling very uncomfortable here. I feel like I'm on fire!" Edna complained and I could feel the pain in her voice too. I stood up from the bed and ran into the bathroom where I was in the shower on my bed and stood under it but the pain only increased.

"What's going on, Edna? Do you have an idea?" I asked as she was the only one I could talk to at the moment. This had never happened to me before and I had no idea why it was happening. Edna was quiet for a while but I knew she wasn't comfortable either. She was restless. "I'm not sure but I think it has to do with your Mate. Alpha Brimstone seems to be doing something wrong." She explained and I frowned. What could he be doing wrong and why was it affecting me instead of the offender? I was about to ask about what it was when I felt a sharp pain in my chest and I screamed, slumping on the wet ground.

The bathroom door opened and two maids ran in. "My Lady!" They cried as they rushed over to me and helped me up. They helped me to the bathtub and helped me into it before they started putting off my clothes. Different thoughts were running through my mind as my body already went numb. I was no longer feeling any pain but my heart was bleeding and tears were threatening to fall but I held myself back as I'd been told that Lunas don't cry. Especially, in front of others. The bath took longer than I expected and I was helped out of the bathroom.

I sat down like a doll while I was taken care of and they helped me back to the bed where I was laid and covered with the duvet. I guess the maids already knew something was wrong too as they didn't say a single word throughout their service and only stood to the side after helping me to the bed. "The breakfast is ready, My Lady. Will you mind eating now?" One of them asked and I frowned. "I'm not eating now. I will come downstairs later. You can leave now." I responded and they bowed before leaving the room.

"Alpha Brimstone is touching another woman. They are intimate!" Even though Edna refused to tell me what was going on, I already knew it the moment the pain increased. Tears roll down my face and I clenched my heart as I sat up in bed. I shouldn't be feeling so much pain because of a man, what was going on? Have I fallen so much in love with him? My heart ached so much and I continued crying. I cried for hours before I stood up from the bed, entered the bathroom, and washed my face.

"You need to be strong... Monica." Edna said to me and I nodded. I should be strong.

I went back to the room and sat down in my bed as I waited for him to return. Soon, I felt his presence in the room and my heart sank. I turned toward him and seeing him, my eyes sting with unshed tears. "You left me," I mumbled and I saw his eyes twitch. He moved toward me and revealed a smile. "You're awake?" He asked but before I could reply, a tear ran down my face. "You wanted me to keep sleeping while you have fun with another woman, right?" I asked and he was shocked. He looked at me with a big frown on his face and he seemed a bit confused. "How did you know that?" His question pierced through my heart and broke it into pieces. I couldn't believe he didn't deny it.

Anger surged through me and I gritted my teeth. "I'm your Mate, remember?" I said coldly and he sneered. "So what? Does that mean I can't have a life of my own again? Why are you even questioning me like this?" He questioned and my eyes widened. His tone was different from his usual self and he was colder than he used to be. He looked at me as if I was nothing but one of his maids and my heart started racing. Will he kill me now? Whatever! I feel more scared of my heart right now than death anyway! "Because I'm your Mate! If you don't want me flirting around with other men and spending a night in their place. Then you don't have the right to do that either!" I yelled at him and he furrowed his brows. He squinted his eyes as he looked at me and before I knew it, he appeared in front of me and grabbed my neck.

"If you dare raise your voice at me again, I will make sure you don't live to see the next seconds!" He warned as he threw me away from the bed and I hit the ground harshly!

"Monica!" Edna screamed but I didn't feel any pain. I looked at him with tears in my eyes without saying a word and I watched him leave the room with anger on his face. Was I too harsh on him? The thought of him getting angry with me Overwhelmed me and I forgot about my earlier anger... I had lost my mind.
