His Regret, My Light

Layla’s POV

“My queen, are you alright?” Alpha Dante asked pulling me out of my trance, I didn't know my shock was evident.

“Yeah…I am fine, sorry” I said as I unboxed the gift, inside was the most beautiful neckpiece I have ever seen, it had a pendent that carried the sign of a moon.

“This is just a little token babe, I have a bigger surprise for you but that's a secret for now” he revealed

“Thank you so much, Dante, you've spoiled me too much,” I said as I hugged but quickly pulled away due to the unfamiliar scent, it just reminded me that my beloved husband might be cheating on me and the other box I saw was for his mistress.

Suddenly his phone rang, and he made an excuse to go pick it up which was odd, he doesn't hide anything from me or so I thought. I took a deep breath and went to the dining room to inspect the food that was being served for dinner.

I do this all the time because Alpha Dante is allergic to a lot of things, so I need to make sure nothing is going to harm him, that's another duty of a Luna.

After that, I headed to the room to inform Alpha Dante that dinner was ready but when I got there I stood at the door eavesdropping on his conversation with God knows who.

“I told you not to call me by this time” he sounded offended but his tone was soft and polite. “I am home with my wife” that's right, let that bitch know.

“I have to go, I will see you tomorrow, our usual spot” he continued. “You know I can't say that back to you” I wonder what he can't say back to her?

How am I sure it's his mistress? I thought to myself but who am I kidding, Alpha Dante has been so secretive and distant lately, yes he still spoils me with gifts but I can tell when my husband's attention is divided.

I took a deep breath masking my true emotion as I knocked on the door, he opened almost immediately. “Since when do you start knocking?” he asked with a sheepish smile on his face.

That's true, since when did I start knocking? “Since when do you start making calls in secret?” I shot back at him playfully and his demur changed immediately.

“I wasn't my queen, it was work and I didn't want to bore you” he sounded defensive but guilty.

“Dinner is ready,” I said not wanting to drag the issue further, he followed me downstairs quietly. I think my words might have gotten to him.

We both sat down and he started eating, I sat there and watched him, I wasn't hungry I just wanted to be there in case he needed anything.

I couldn't believe this man sitting in front of me was cheating on me, I could still remember the promise he made to me on our wedding night after I opened up a bit about my past.

Alpha Dante had held my hands and promised me he would never hurt me, he said he wasn't like my father and wouldn't abandon me the way he did my mother. I didn't believe him but I had hoped he was different. I still hope he is different.

Soon after eating Alpha Dante proposed we watch a movie since it's been a long we did so, I was very much excited because that was one of our traditions but his phone rang and he left to answer it, he came back later apologizing saying he has to leave. Something urgent came up.

I nod as he kisses me on the cheek and heads out. I went back to my room, picked up my phone, and made a call.

“My husband is on the move, I want to know where he is going”

Call me a helicopter wife but I won't tolerate being played for a fool.
