Just Once

Three years of marriage brought nothing but a thorn to my heart. My child was critically ill and in need of treatment. My husband didn't care and even called me unfaithful. In my desperation, I sold my body and soul in exchange for the recovery of my child. His name was Benjamin. Dominating the underworld and influencing politics, he was like a poppy that impressed, captivated, broke, and disillusioned me. He said that different from the others who approached me only for sex, he wanted every part of me. He also said that I was his only one and that nothing in this world could compare with me. Then he told me that these were all lies. I told him that these were true to me.

I nodded and looked back at Matthew. "Wake me up if he wakes up too," I said. Alex nodded and I fell asleep again.

"Ema" Alex cooed and gently shook me. I groaned and covered my face with the blanket. "Ema... The pack house is a few minutes away," he informed me.

I slowly lifted my head up and rubbed my eyes. I turned around and saw Matthew still sleeping. "What time is it?" I asked while stretching my arms in front of me.

"7:30," Alex answered. I nodded and we fell into a relaxing silence, until Alex decided to open his mouth. "I told the pack that I'm introducing the Luna tonight," Alex blurted.

"You what?!" I exclaimed. Matthew mumbled and stirred in his sleep. "You what?!" I whisper-yelled.
