Chapter Three

Hailey's POV

Hailey!" I heard Ava scream when Vickson and I kissed in one of the corners on her wedding night.

The Vickson standing right in front of me right now looks different from the one that I saw a month ago–it seems like he wanted me.

Everyone made their way out to check on us and to confirm if what they had seen was true. In no time, we've been surrounded.

"Vickson, what are you doing? It's our wedding night for crying out loud." Ava cried as she rushed towards us trying to separate us.

Before I could say a word, I received a slap from Ava almost immediately. She pushed me to the ground when I refused to fall.

"Do you think I will allow you to take Vickson away from me?" She asked me, and I stood there speechless. I didn't even know what to say to her.

"You may be his ex-girlfriend, but right now, I'm legally married to him. You will and can never be his mate, because he truly loves only me." She scoffed, shaking her head.

"And what title do you have? You may have his body, but his soul is mine!" I finally had a comeback for her.

"Woah!" the crowds murmured.

"He was never yours from the beginning!" I lashed.

I watched Vickson's eyes closed and everyone was waiting for his judgment. According to the rules that govern their pack, when a case like this happens, the Alpha needs to wed both women and that is exactly what everyone was waiting for because everyone including my stepmother who was fuming in anger knows this.

"I…Alpha Vickson accepts you, Hailey Baldwin as my second wife." Vickson spoke with confidence. Looking beside him, he ordered the guards to take care of the maid he had earlier hurt and left without apologizing or feeling bad.

"You bitch! I thought I told you to stay out of my life and that of my daughter but you refused!" Ava's stepmother slapped me so hard that my left eye got peeled instantly, causing me to crash to the floor.

Ava held my hair and raised my face to hers. "You just made the worst mistake of your life! You won't have it easy! Slut." she pushed me to the ground and ran after Vickson who had left the scene in anger.

Everyone looked at me like I was the devil who had shown up and destroyed my half-sister's wedding. But what they never knew was that I was just a victim of circumstance. Ava and my stepmother are the real devil in sheep's clothing.

After a few days, my entire story changed as I was no longer living in those lonely, dark, and godforsaken woods anymore. Even though I was labeled as Vickson's concubine, I still think of it as a good title so far I was able to see his face every day of my life and since the mate bond has not been broken, I felt drawn to him all night. Left to Ava, she never stopped threatening me and blackmailing me in front of Vickson who doesn't seem bothered.

When I noticed I couldn't pull through with Ava's wickedness, I stopped going outside and preferred remaining indoors. It's been a week now since I saw the rays of the sun or Vickson's face. I was lost in thought when a knock landed on my door–it was Vickson.

"I…do you need anything? I can get it…" My words were halted by Vickson's lips. He lifted me and closed the door behind me, locking it as well to prevent anyone from entering. I held the bedsheet tight and gently placed my hand on his chest, stopping him from going further.

"You shouldn't be here. I'm tired of everyone calling me a slut, Vick. Please." I tried to shove him off but he was way stronger than I am and his wolf seemed pretty determined to stay.

"If this is about Ava…" he started and gently pulled off his shirt while he sucked my earlobes and my wolf couldn't help it. "Yes…I…Vick…son…" I moaned sinking my fingernails into his bare back while he healed instantly–he's an Alpha after all.

"She went to visit her mother. Right now…Hail…" he took my lips in his and gently undressed me with his teeth pulling down my underwear.

"Right now?" I cringed as I watched him pull off his shorts, his dick all long and a bit huge— I can smell his arousal.

"I just want to have you." He pulled off the rest of his shorts and his fullness sent a shiver down my spine.

"Scared?" He picked me up and moved me upward on the bend, gently raising my hands above my head, he slid his dick inside me.

"Ah…Vick…I…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 begged and he did according to my bidden before finally whispering into my ears.

"I've always loved you, Hailey." his words, an ice to my soul.

He picked me up and dabbled me across the bed. This time around, the first sex we had at my stepmother's place didn't do justice. This one was on fire as I screamed the whole palace down while Vickson wouldn't stop thrusting in me harder.

"If you love me…awww…awww…why…why did you choose Ava?" I cried, tears streaming down my face from pleasure.

"I chose her because…because…" he didn't finish his words before knotting all of 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. I lived my life alone in this pack without anyone to talk to, not even Vickson who had avoided me like a plague for a good two years but only showed up whenever he wanted to have sex with me.

I know it must have been Ava at work. To be honest, I don't know what Ava and my stepmother have up sleeves against Vickson that made him pick 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 and quickly put on my makeup, adjusting my hair to look beautiful not until I opened the door and some piece of documents hit my face. By the time the papers all dropped, it was Vickson. With shaky hands, I picked up the papers and my lips trembled in fear.

"Was it true that you had an accident when you were five and you cannot give birth to children?"Vickson yelled and I almost lost my balance.

"I was going to tell you. Please, let's talk. Divorce is not the way. Did Ava put you up to this?" I reached out to him but he yanked his hands off.

"I can't believe you will keep that away from me all these while! Sign those divorce papers. I'm done, Hailey." Vickson left in anger.

Immediately after he left, I felt a bit dizzy and it got so severe that I had to drop the divorce papers first and make my way to the hospital.

"Congratulations, Mrs. Hailey. You are two weeks pregnant." the doctor handed over the result and I could not believe my eyes. How did it happen? I thought my womb had complications and I can't—

If Vickson hears of this, he won't allow me to 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?
