Chapter 1: Chapter 1

Chapter 1 Wrong Mate

As soon as Bella got home, she heard the sound of running water, so she went to the kitchen and turned off the faucet.

She must have forgotten to check everything after cooking in the morning. She made such a silly mistake!

Bella lay on the table and buried her face in her arms, feeling annoyed and bitter.

A week ago, the doctor told her she had a miscarriage.

She was weak all day long. Her face in the mirror was pale and haggard, and she looked like a ghost.

She had been proud because she was good at housework, but recently she always made mistakes due to low spirits.

She had lost the chance to be a mother. Her ability and existence seemed to be meaningless.

The scene of arguing with her husband David a week ago came to her mind.

"It's all your fault! You have no wolf! You're born to be a jinx, so you killed my child. The one who died should be you, not my child! You vicious woman who has killed my child! You should go to hell!" David's face and neck flushed with anger.

Bella couldn't believe what she had heard.

David was partially right that she was born wolf-less, but she had never heard of a werewolf without a wolf being infertile. Not to mention that she and David were mates, and mates were blessed by the moon goddess in every way, including fertility. Five years ago, when David claimed to be her mate and asked for her hand, Bella had never thought he would curse her like that later.

She looked at his hostile and cruel eyes with great difficulty, "I've never concealed the fact that I was born without a wolf. There's no evidence to prove that a woman without a wolf can't have her child. I don't accept your groundless accusation. Please apologize to me if you're still the man I love."

But David slammed the door shut and hadn't come back for a week.

Belle's depression didn't last long, and she soon cheered up.

In the morning, David sent her a message, saying he would come back that day. David should have calmed down after a week, so she would take the chance to talk to him. Maybe they should go to the hospital for a thorough examination.

Thinking about how proud David was, Bella felt it might be difficult to persuade him to go to the hospital.

She took out the flowers from the bag. Dewdrops were glistening on the petals. The fragrance made Bella relax a lot.

Suddenly, the fragrance of flowers was replaced by the smell of perfume. Unlike the strong perfume, Bella liked the faint and elegant smell of perfume. The gust of strong perfume reminded her of many unhappy memories.

Bella frowned at the unexpected guest in front of her.

"Lanny." This woman was her elder sister.

Lanny stretched out her arms, threw herself around, and showed off her dress, "Is it nice?"

If Lanny wasn't wearing her pajamas, Bella would say a few words to praise her politely, "If you have no clothes to wear, I can buy you some. Now please take off my clothes."

"Buy me clothes with David's money?" Lanny suddenly approached her and narrowed her malicious eyes.

Bella put down the flowers and looked at her in doubt.

She knew Lanny was a selfish, arrogant, and crazy woman. It seemed that Lanny was going to make a fuss again. She had a nasty feeling.

Although Bella's face was haggard because of the miscarriage, she was still gorgeous. Even the beautiful flowers appeared very poor in comparison.

The sunshine came in through the window, and Bella was like an angel surrounded by halos.

Lanny was so jealous that she wanted to ruin Bella. She stretched out her fingernails which were painted red, snatched the flowers, and threw them on the wall with great strength.

"This is my house! Get out and don't make a scene here!" Bella couldn't stand her rude behavior and asked her to leave.

Bella's anger pleased Lanny. However, Bella wasn't respectful to her, which made her annoyed.

"Now David is the director of the company. An inferior woman like you is no longer qualified to be his wife. You should have left him long ago. You don't deserve to be with him. I've told you this many times." Lanny said these embarrassing words in a good mood.

Bella did not want to hear her absurd lecture, "If you are idle, you should spend more time with Edward rather than meddle in my life with David."

Lanny's proud face immediately darkened.

Edward was her husband.

When Edward said she was his mate, Lanny was shocked, and she knew there must be something wrong. Her mate was David, but back then David was too poor to be her mate, so she rejected him.

Poor David proposed to Bella to get closer to Lanny, and Bella was so overwhelmed with happiness that she didn't even know that her husband was not her true mate. How could Bella have a mate since she had no wolf, but that was just the past.

If Lanny married Edward, she could get two billion dollars. More importantly, Bella's husband David was Edward's subordinate, so she could be superior to Bella forever.

However, Edward became disabled now, and he needed to live off her, while David became the director.

Bella's husband was more capable than her husband, which was something Lanny couldn't accept.

Crack!

A stack of photos was thrown on the table. Bella's heart was broken when she saw the naked bodies in the photos.

With her hands trembling, Bella picked up the photos and looked at them one by one. Those were photos of Lanny and her husband David who hadn't come home for a week.

"Your husband stayed in my bed for the last week. Do you want to know what he says about you? You're a cursed woman who has killed his child. He wants you to go to hell!" Lanny laughed arrogantly, "He regrets that I wasn't the one he married. He's willing to die for me."

Bella's lips went deathly pale in an instant. She couldn't even speak.

Lanny's voice became sharper and sharper, "This is the retribution for your greed! You shouldn't have been with David. Let's correct everything now. David wasn’t your mate. He and I were meant to be together. He lied to you, and I lied to Edward. Now let's get back on track. From today on, I'll be David's wife. You and that disabled man go to hell!"

Lanny didn't even want to mention Edward's name. Anyway, she never loved him.

"Where's David?" Bella lowered her head and asked briefly.

Lanny smiled seductively, "My husband is in the bedroom. Before you came back, we were having sex, and he put on the pajamas for me."

Bella wanted to vomit. Five years ago, when she met David, she felt the whole world become brighter, she had a mate, and that was the first time she realized that she could love and be loved like other werewolves, even though she had no wolf and couldn't feel the mate bond.

But today this beautiful dream was shattered into pieces, and all the happiness and dreams she was pursuing were just lies wrapped up in fine candy paper.

After receiving David's message, she changed the sheets on purpose.

How could they do such a disgusting thing on her bed?

"Shameless!" Bella shouted at the top of her lung, "You two are so shameless!"

"Shut up!" David scolded loudly. He walked out of the room while putting on his pajamas. He glanced at Bella with contempt. "Watch your manner, woman, don’t act rude."

Seeing David, Lanny immediately trotted over and held his arm.

Seeing that they were wearing the same pajamas, Bella felt her fingernails sink into the table. The pain told her it was real, and it was not her fantasy.

Her husband hugged her elder sister and they looked at her with disgusted eyes.

Bella straightened her back, "David, now please tell me. Do you want a divorce?"

"Tell her." Lanny drew a circle on David's chest with her fingers.

David took Lanny's hand and kissed it without looking at Bella, "Yes, so what?"

His tone was full of indifference. Bella knew she didn't have to say anything else.

Her heart ached. However, to salvage her pride, she forced herself not to question them.

"You're just a housewife. Unlike me and Lanny, you have no important work to do, so you'd better not pester me and waste our precious time!"

"No, I won't do that, you can't force me!" Bella screamed at the top of her lungs.

"That's not up to you." Lanny pushed Bella to the ground. Bella, who had just experienced a miscarriage, was too weak to fight back. She fell to the ground with a sharp pain coming from her abdomen. She covered her belly and gritted her teeth, refusing to beg for mercy from them.

David came towards her, his body towering over her like a high wall.
