Hailey's POV
"Hailey!" I heard Ava scream as Vickson and I kissed in one of the corners on her wedding night.
The Vickson standing in front of me right now is different from the one I saw a month ago; this one seems to want me.
Everyone rushed out to see if we were okay and to verify what they had seen. Soon, we were surrounded.
"Vickson, what are you doing? This is our wedding night, for crying out loud!" Ava shouted, running towards us to pull us apart.
Before I could speak, Ava slapped me almost instantly. When I refused to fall, she pushed me to the ground.
"Do you think I would let you take Vickson away from me?" She questioned me. I stood there, unable to speak. I didn't have any answer for her.
"You might be his ex-girlfriend, but as it stands, I am his legal wife. You will never be his friend because he loves only me."
She laughed and shook her head.
"And what title do you have? You may body him, but his spirit is mine." I finally had a rejoinder for her.
"Woah!" the crowds murmured.
"He was never yours from the beginning!" I lashed.
I watched Vickson close his eyes and everyone awaited his decision. According to the rules that govern their pack, in a situation like this, the Alpha is required to mate with both women and that is exactly what everyone was waiting for because well, everyone including my stepmother who was furious knew it.
"I… Alpha Vickson accepts you, Hailey Baldwin, as my second wife." Vickson said it boldly. He was not even looking beside him; he ordered the guards to take care of the maid he had earlier beaten and left without a word of apology or remorse.
"You bitch! I thought I told you to stay out of my life and that of my daughter, but you wouldn't!" Ava's stepmother slapped me hard enough that my left eye peeled almost immediately, causing me to hit the ground.
Ava grabbed my hair and lifted my face to hers. "You just made the biggest mistake of your life!" You won't have it easy! Slut." She pushed me to the ground and ran after Vickson, who had stormed out in anger.
Everyone stared at me as if I had been the devil who come to terror and ruin my half-sister's wedding. What they couldn't know is that I was simply a victim of circumstance. Ava and my stepmother are the real devils in sheep's clothing.
My story changed completely after a few days because I was no longer living in those lonely, dark, and godforsaken woods.
Although I had been referred to as Vickson's concubine, I still considered it somewhat of a positive title as at least I got to see his face every day of my life and even though the mate bond has not been broken, I felt attracted to him all night long.
Left to Ava, she would never stop threatening and blackmailing me in front of Vickson who seems totally unmoved.
When I realized that I couldn't handle Ava's wickedness, I avoided going out and stayed indoors. It has been a week now since I saw the rays of the sun or Vickson's face. I was lost in my thoughts when a knock landed on my door—it was Vickson.
"I... do you need anything? I can get it..." Vickson's lips halting my words. He lifted me while closing the door behind me, locking it also to ensure no one could walk in. I tightly held the bedsheet and placidly placed my hand on his chest, preventing him from proceeding further.
"You shouldn't be here. I'm tired of everyone calling me a slut, Vick. Please." I pushed him away, but he was much stronger than me and his wolf seemed really determined to stay.
"Maybe this is about Ava…" he began, softly removing his shirt as he nibbled on my earlobes and my wolf couldn't resist.
"Yes…I…Vick…son…" I gasped, burying my nails into his while he healed instantly–he is an Alpha after all.
"She went to visit her mother. Right now…Hail…" he kissed my lips and softly undressed me with his teeth as he pulled my underwear down.
"Right now?" I cringed watching him pull down his shorts, his dick was all long and a bit huge- I could smell his arousal.
"I just want to have you." He removed the rest of his shorts, and his fullness gave me a shiver down my spine.
"Scared?" He lifted me and moved me up the curve, softly raising my hands above my head when he slid his dick inside me.
"Ah…Vick, why are you doing this…" I couldn't help but watch him ride me, my eyes locked on his and my mouth in an "o" shape.
"Why? Aww…I need you closer." I whispered, and he obliged my command before finally whispering in my ear.
"I have always loved you, Hailey." His words were an ice to my soul.
He picked me up and dabbled me across the bed. The first time we had sex at my stepmother's place was poorly done. This one was explosive as I filled the entire palace with my screams while Vickson kept thrusting harder inside me.
"If you love me…aww…aww…why…why did you choose Ava?" I asked, sobbing even harder as the tears ran down my face from relief.
"I chose her because…because…" he didn't finish his sentence, clutching all his juice inside of me, he collapsed in my bed and slept off.
By the time I woke up the next morning, he was gone. Alone, I lived my life inside this pack without even an ounce of company to speak to. Vickson had avoided me like the plague for a good two years, yet he only seemed to appear whenever he wanted to have sex with me.
I know it must have been Ava at work. Honestly, I don't have any idea what Ava and my stepmother have against Vickson that would make him choose her over me and avoid me. But today I made up my mind to stop being timid and stand up for not just myself but Vickson as well. I was about to swing into action when a knock landed on my door.
"Vickson?" I whispered, hurriedly applying my makeup and adjusting my hair to look presentable. It didn't help, though, when I opened the door and a piece of paper hit my face. All the documents fell around me. It was Vickson. My hands were shaking as I collected the papers, and my lips trembled with fear.
"Is it true that you had an accident at five that made it impossible for you to give birth?" Vickson shouted, and I almost lost my balance.
"I was about to tell you. Please, let's talk. Divorce is not the way. Did Ava send you to do this?" I touched him but he jerked his hands away from me.
"Can't believe you would keep that from me all this time! Sign the divorce papers. I'm out, Hailey." Dickson stormed off in a rage.
Immediately after he left, I felt a little dizzy and it got so heavy that I had to put the divorce papers down and trek to the hospital.
"Congratulations, Mrs. Hailey. You are pregnant for two weeks." The doctor handed the result to me, and I just couldn't believe what I was seeing. How could this happen? I thought there was something wrong with my uterus, that I couldn't.
If Vickson hears this, he will not let me sign the divorce papers. I think it's high time I left and left Ava alone. After all, no one wants me around.
How does a fresh start with my baby sound?
