After My Husband Chose His First Love Over Me

After My Groom Chose His Pregnant Mistress Over Me

Chapter 1 of After My Husband Chose His First Love Over Me

The next day, Arturo's call came late. As soon as I answered, a sweet, delicate voice greeted me:

"Sorry, Zendaya, I wasn't feeling well yesterday, and I didn't expect Arturo to miss the wedding because he was worried about me."

"I told him off for your sake."

"And about that Facebook post, I've already asked him to delete it. Don't dwell on it."

After a pause, her teasing voice continued:

"Arturo, you're all grown up now, yet you still act like a foolish child when things go wrong."

"Back in college, you did whatever I asked. After all these years, nothing's changed."

"The way you behaved yesterday, how do you think Zendaya would feel?"

"Listen up, take some time and reschedule the ceremony. I can handle things here."

Her tone was accusatory, yet sugary enough to make my stomach turn. I suppressed the nausea, ready to speak when Arturo's voice interrupted:

"Lie down and rest, don’t be impatient now that you're starting to feel better."

"If you don’t take it easy, I won't be able to take care of you anymore."

His gentle tone, like a dagger piercing my heart.

"Arturo, since you're occupied, I won't keep you. I'll send over the divorce papers in a couple of days. Don’t forget to sign them."

I cut off their sickly sweet conversation.

"Zendaya, are you done yet? You're almost thirty and still playing these divorce threats?"

"Luciana explained everything to you just now."

"I'm already dealing with enough, don’t add to my troubles."

His voice rose in frustration. I smirked.

"Don’t add to my troubles."

Arturo said this often. My care and concern were seen as nuisances. These words had become his mantra when dealing with me. Previously, when he'd say this with a furrowed brow, I'd immediately apologize, reflecting on my actions. I sought his forgiveness, promising not to repeat it. Even when I couldn't pinpoint what I'd done wrong, I was the one bowing down.

"Arturo, I'm not making threats, just stating a fact."

This time, I'm done. Exhausted.

Realizing the shift in my attitude, Arturo hesitated, his tone softened noticeably:

"Zendaya, do you have to hold onto this? Luciana suddenly fell ill yesterday, and I had to calm her down."

"A wedding is just a ceremony; it can happen any day."

"As for the Facebook post, it’s just words and photos. Compared to a life, what really matters?"

"Zendaya, weren't you always the most understanding? Why have you changed?"

"You've become such a disappointment."

Luciana, Arturo's patient. His first love, and the elusive longing in his heart. Her tearful voice came through the line:

"Zendaya, it's all my fault, don’t blame Arturo. If you’re really angry, I'll kneel and apologize."

Pathetic.

I let out a cold laugh:

"If you're truly sorry, don’t just say it."

"I'm home now, come over and kneel, apologize to me."

Silence. They hadn't expected me to genuinely demand Luciana kneel. Her sobs grew more anguished, while Arturo comforted her sweetly and unleashed his fury on me:

"Zendaya, how dare you be so petty? What did Luciana do wrong to apologize to you!"

"I haven't made you apologize yet! Yesterday at the hospital, your calls nearly ruined Luciana's chances of treatment."

"I was blind to want to marry you. You want a divorce? Fine! Don’t regret it!"

Before I could respond, the call ended abruptly.

Seven years. Seven long years since I'd last set foot in New York City. The skyline stretched before me, a glittering canvas of ambition and betrayal. I stood on the balcony of our Manhattan penthouse, the cool evening air caressing my skin. My fingers absently traced the platinum band on my left hand—a habit I'd developed whenever the past threatened to overwhelm me. "You're thinking about them, aren't you?" I didn't need to turn to know Leonardo had joined me. His presence was like a physical force, powerful and reassuring. The mate bond between us hummed with his concern. "They're just ghosts, Violet," he said, his arms encircling me from behind. His chin rested on my shoulder, his breath warm against my neck.

Alpha's Affair, Luna's Wrath

I tapped my pencil against the edge of my sketchpad, staring at the half-finished design for the ceremonial necklace I planned to surprise Marcus with for our fifth anniversary. The silver and moonstone piece would symbolize our enduring bond—five perfect years as Alpha and Luna of the Silverstone Pack. "What do you think, Lyra?" I whispered to my wolf, who purred contentedly in my mind. *Beautiful, like all your creations, Victoria.* My inner wolf had always been my greatest supporter, even before Marcus. I smiled, setting down my pencil and stretching my arms above my head. The afternoon sun streamed through the windows of our shared study, casting a warm glow over the polished oak desk. Marcus had left his tablet behind this morning in his rush to handle what he'd called an "urgent pack matter." I reached for it, thinking I could review some of the anniversary celebration plans we'd been discussing. We'd granted each other access to our devices years ago—a symbol of trust between mates. The screen lit up at my touch, revealing a messaging app I rarely used. A notification blinked insistently in the corner—from Amber Rodriguez, our new pack coordinator.

Betrayed by My Alpha Mate

The bass from the karaoke bar pulsed through my chest like a second heartbeat, each thump making my temples throb. I watched Lucca laughing with his pack brothers, his arm slung casually over Delta Marcus's shoulder as they belted out some terrible rendition of an old pack anthem. The crowd was a sea of familiar faces from Silvermoon, all here to celebrate our territory's founding anniversary. I'd been smiling for two hours straight, playing the perfect Luna-to-be, but the noise was finally winning. 'I need some air,' I murmured to Mira, who nodded with understanding before turning back to her own conversation. The cool night air hit my face like a blessing as I slipped through the bar's side door. Silvermoon territory at night was beautiful—the trees rustled gently, and moonlight painted everything in silver and shadow. I took a deep breath, letting Selene, my wolf, stretch contentedly within me. For just a moment, I could pretend I was alone with the night sky. Then I heard Lucca's voice.

Betrayed Luna Finds True Love

I woke up with that familiar churning in my stomach, the third morning in a row. My inner wolf, Lily, stirred restlessly as I bolted to the bathroom, barely making it before emptying what little remained in my stomach from last night's dinner. '*This has to be it*,' I thought, pressing my palm against my still-flat abdomen. After three years as Ryan's Luna, the Moon Goddess had finally blessed us. I splashed cold water on my face and brushed my teeth, studying my reflection. My skin glowed despite the nausea, and my wolf seemed unusually protective, urging me to rest more, eat better. All the signs were there. "We need to be sure before we tell him," I whispered to Lily, who hummed in agreement. I padded back to our bedroom, noticing Ryan had left his laptop open on his desk. He'd rushed out before dawn for an emergency meeting with neighboring packs—at least that's what he'd said.

Betrayed Mate: Choosing True Love Path

My hands trembled as I stood at the edge of the ceremonial circle, watching the other seniors of our pack take their turns. The Coming of Age Ceremony was everything in werewolf society—the moment when our abilities would be fully tested, our ranks determined, our futures set. The scent of pine needles and burning sage filled the night air, and the full moon hung heavy above us, its silver light bathing the clearing in an ethereal glow. Ryan stood across the circle, his dark hair gleaming under the moonlight, those green eyes finding mine with the same reassurance they'd offered since we were pups. My heart fluttered as it always did when he looked at me. We'd been raised with the understanding that we were destined mates—our families had planned it, the pack expected it, and I had built my entire future around it. "Sophia Williams," Elder Marcus called, his Alpha voice resonating through the clearing. I stepped forward, my white ceremonial dress billowing around my ankles. Inside me, my wolf—Sarah—stirred anxiously. *We should show our full strength*, she whispered in my mind.
