"So you never loved me?," I swallowed hard struggling to keep a firm expression.
Kieran scoffed, his lips curling into a frown. "Love you? Don't make me laugh. The only reason I even agreed to marry you was because of your dying mother's pathetic pleas."
All this time, he had never truly cared for me. I had been nothing more than a way for him to appease my mother and maintain his image as the perfect Alpha.
As the Lunar pack's Alpha and CEO of Lunar Enterprises, Kieran was accustomed to power and control.
And I, a lowly omega, had somehow managed to capture his attention. At first, I couldn't believe my luck. Kieran was everything I had ever dreamed of – handsome, wealthy, and powerful.
I had foolishly fallen for him the moment we first met in college.
I had been cornered by a group of bullies, and Kieran had swooped in to rescue me, his powerful presence instantly captivating me.
For five long years, I devoted myself to him, loving him unconditionally, doing everything in my power to please him while I lived under his roof. Yes, I had to move away from my mother’s house immediately we started dating because he told me it would be best we got to know each other better since we were mates and also in a relationship. I never knew that it was a way he could control my every move. My mother had warned me not to move into his house since he had not married me yet but I didn’t listen. Of course my mother wanted me to be happy so she let me go.
He chose my clothes, ensuring I dressed 'modestly'. I cut my long, luscious hair short because he preferred it that way. My makeup was always natural and never bold.
He had access to all of my social media accounts. He said some of my family members and friends were poisoning our relationship so I cut them off.
My days were scheduled around all his needs. Finances were strictly controlled and I had to ask permission for every purchase.
But when Nina came into the picture, I saw that he reserved all his gentleness for her. The spoiled brat could do whatever she wanted. She used his credit card freely, wasting his money on extravagant stuff, held his hand, and hugged him in public without a care. I, on the other hand, dared not attempt any form of PDA.
I had to be the perfect, obedient mate, and it was maddening, the way Kieran seemed to favor her over me.
