The woman finished making my sandwich and handed it to me. I offered to pay for the sandwich, and she refused.
“I can’t collect money from you, Luna; I am from the Orlov pack.” She said, smiling at me and looking at my bump.
“For our future Alpha,” she said, and I smiled at her and thanked her.
She also gave me Iced Tea to go with it, and I decided to sit by her stall and help myself.
Call me selfish, but I knew Kara might want to have a bite, and I wasn’t in the mood to share.
I did tell Kara to walk me down to the stall, and she refused, so I would eat it alone.
I was eating when a familiar scent caught my nostrils.
I looked in the direction it came from, and the bastard Cruz was approaching me. Usually, my heart would start racing, but I was calm. He was on my turf.
I composed myself to hear what he had to say. I had heard of their request, and I wondered what he wanted with me after they told him no.
I rubbed my bump gently and sipped my iced tea with the straw. I wanted him to see it.
He walked to where I was sitting and cleared his throat.
“Eloise..” he said, and I looked away from him.
“Eloise, please, I want to talk to you,” he said, and I could not imagine his
nerve.
“Please, Eloise, look at me,” he said, and I felt movement, so I looked at him and saw he was on his knees.
“Please tell Orlov to send you home. I will take care of the baby as if it were mine. I will love you with all my heart. I will send Samanta and her children away. I want you to come home. I was a fool and did not know what I had until I lost you,” he said, and I shook my head.
“I am happy where I am, Cruz, why should I follow you? Can’t you see that I have upgraded? You once called me a whore, and you know whores always go for the best,” I said, and he shook his head.
“I am sorry. I am sorry. You are not a whore. I am the whore. For doing what I did to you. I need you to come back to me, Eloise.
Since you left, my life has been in shambles. I did not know how I felt about you until I lost you.
Please, Eloise. I promise to be a better version of myself,” he said, and I remained calm.
Not because I wanted to but because of my baby. I did not want to get upset and cause complications for myself.
“Let us not drag this, Cruz. Get off your knees and leave. I am not coming back to you. I am happy. I have a man that loves me, a real man, Cruz. One that adores me. You said I was a whore and worthless, but Theo treats me as his prized possession. His gem. I have liberty and freedom. I can do and say whatever I like, and I don’t even want to get into the love- making part.
I did not know I was a virgin until Theo happened to me. I can’t leave all

that for a known hell,” I said, seeing that my words affected him, especially the virgin part. I was just telling him the truth.

“Look, you better leave this place because Raphael won’t treat you nicely if he catches you here with me. Go patch things up with Rebbeca and her three bastards and move on with your life. At least no one is there to try to poison them again.” I said, reminding him of the wicked accusation laid against me.
“I am sorry I let her set you up. I am sorry,” Cruz said, and before I could reply, Theo arrived and grabbed him.
I wonder how he got there so fast, and the woman in the stall came out and was nodding.
“He was troubling Luna, Alpha,” she said, and Raphael had rage in his
eyes.
How did he get here so quickly?
I heard Darius calling, and I realised they might have been nearby.
Raphael knelt over Cruz and beat the shit out of him. He did not talk. He just kept punching him against the ground.
I did not know what to do. I knew it would be best to stop Theo, but I didn’t want to. Cruz deserved it. He deserved every punch and every blow. He was lucky I was pregnant, or I could have joined in.
The audacity he had to come and ask me to come back. What the fuck was he thinking? Only a fool would go back to a psycho like him.
People were gathered, and Raphael did not stop until Darius pulled him off him.
“Stay away from my wife!” he told him, and Cruz managed to get up and wipe his bloody nose.

“I do not see a mark on her neck,” he said, and that was it for me.

I walked to where Cruz was and punched him with all my might with the help of Arya, my wolf.
He fell to the ground. The crack sound that accompanied the punch was satisfying.
“I am not your property, Cruz, so fuck off, you sick fuck. And do not think I will let you get away with all you did. I won’t,” I said and spat on him.
I went to meet Theo, and he held me.
I felt so much satisfaction, and I believed Cruz needed more punishment.
“I want you to go for his pack and his title,” I linked Raphael, and he held
- me.
“All you had to do was say the word, darling,” he linked me back and began to kiss me with his hand on my baby bump. I felt my anger dissipate as Theo filled me with love and joy. His kiss was possessive, and I welcomed it.
“Stay the fuck away from her,” Darius warned Cruz with his command.
“The next time you overstep, I will sanction your arrest. Remember your place, Cruz. I will take this up with Casey for not putting you in check,” Darius said, and I hoped Darius talked to Casey to tell Cruz to stay away from me. I was done with the clown, and I hoped he got the message now
