Taking Pills

"Luna and Emily are coming to this side" Max informed me the same thing Dominic did. I sighed and looked at Irene's side.

"She has a right to know the truth," Irene muttered.

"Neither want to hide anything from her" I mumbled. She nodded her head and smiled. "Continue Irene," I said, knowing Sana and Emily are standing at the door.

"I was saying that there is a chance that Richard has someone else in his life… Maybe his mate. Nobody knew anything about her but I'm sure she is the one about whom Richard always talks while doing any crime" she said. I look at the door side from the corner of my eye. Sana's hand was in the air. Maybe she was about to knock on the door but stopped when she heard Irene. I took a deep breath to hold myself not going to her and took her in my arms. I sighed and continued my conversation with everyone.

"For a second let's assume that he had someone else in his life then why he didn't introduce that woman as his wife," I asked.

"We also thought about it but didn't get any reason," Irene said. I sighed upon hearing that.

"Because maybe he wants something from Sana," Sam said. I look at her confusingly "Something that his wife couldn't give him and he choose Sana for that"

"An Alpha heir," Irene said. I look at them, widening my eyes.

"You all are gone mad. That couldn't be possible" I said as that was the last thing I wanted to hear

"Maybe she is right" My eyes widened hearing Sana's words. I look at the door side. Sana was standing there along with Emily... They both came inside and stood in front of me.

"After hearing her, I started thinking about everything and I realised she is right. There was someone else in his life" Sana mumbled. I look at her carefully. she had no expression on her face like now she is tired of everything

"Richard never treated me as his wife." She chuckled. "he used to call me slave and I was so dumb that I didn't even realise he was insulting me. He treats me like his slave only. the difference is I never do household work but serve him on his bed." I clenched the side table angrily. if it was made of glass then it would have broken till now.

"He told me that I was his chosen mate. He didn't mark me despite my asking him many times. He always gives me an excuse to mark me when I will turn 18 and when I step in 18, he does nothing but make me lay on the bed and start his abuses." a tear rolled from her eyes.

"That day I realised he doesn't love me and like as usual I ignore my feelings. He used to come home late at night after that he asked me whether I had dinner or not and then" she clamped up and wiped her tears from the corner of her eyes.

"Many times he talked about his mate but then he used to change the topic or lie to me that he was talking about his old nanny who never showed up in front of me. Once Maya told me that he was lying, however, I ignored her because before I and Maya were not on good terms. you all can be right but"

"But?" Irene asked.

"He was giving me some kind of pills each morning after we had" She clamped up and looked at me. I blink my eyes, telling her to continue.

"I don't know the name of that pill. I took them because he told me that they are painkillers. Every night I spend with him is terrible and painful for me that's why I take those pills without any question. Now, I'm thinking about those pills. Then I realised that I didn't conceive till I'm taking those pills but once I missed it and then I became pregnant with his child. If he wants a child from me then why would he give me those pills" Sana replied. Before I could say that the theory about the baby was wrong Emily interrupted the conversation.

"Did you visit any doctor for any kind of checkup before you become pregnant?" Emily asked.

"Yes… Every month Richard took me to the pack doctor for a regular checkup."

"Then Irene was right, Alex... He wants his heir from Sana. You know how badly I wanted to conceive one year ago but because of my health issues, Max didn't let me. I was weak and at that time, the doctor told us that if I conceive then my child would be born unhealthy or with some diseases. Max took care of me and we used to visit the doctor every month for a regular checkup to know my health status."

"According to you, Sana's case is also the same as yours. Her health was not good, that's why Richard was giving her pills."

"Maybe"

"Now, I understand why Richard said that she will be happy after hearing my pregnancy news and when I asked him, who will be happy then that bastard lied to me." She mumbled and touched her stomach.

"He was planning to snatch my baby away from me," Sana said while looking into my eyes. I could feel how painful this thought was for her. Emily hugged Sana to console her but I know at this point of time Sana only needs me. She broke the hug and looked at me when I called her.

"Sano, come here. " I said. She nodded and then stood beside me. I held her hand and pulled her into my lap. She didn't say anything and rested her head on my chest. Irene stood up to go but I showed her my hand.

"Irene sits back and Emily you also sit on the chair beside her... it is not good for your health to stay standing for long. Where were you going, Irene? Our conversation is not over... I want to reach the end of this conversation" I said. They both settled down on the chair.

"After everything we discussed, we all came to a point that Richard had someone else in his life whom he called his wife and that women instigated him to do every crime," Stefan said and we all nodded our heads agreeing with him.

"Not only that she is the one who is behind Sana to kill her so that her identity remains hidden from everyone as each person wanted to kill Richard's wife. She is the one who sent those traitors who came here to kill Sana, including Alice." I said. They all look at me shockingly.

"Alice is working for that woman that's why she didn't accept you as her Alpha" Sam mumbled. I nod my head and look at my girl who was looking calm after coming into my arms. Maybe mate bond shows its magic.

"But those warriors took Andrew's name," Max pointed out.

"And we stupidly believed them. Andrew is a coward who hides somewhere. Even our warriors aren't able to find him. Do you think he will come out, just to kill my girl" I scoffed and looked at Max.

"He will never do such stupidity to send his warrior to kill my wife because as much as I know him, he was living his life in fear that I will chase and kill him." Max nodded his head understanding my point.

"We have to find Richard's mate who is involved with Richard in killing our parents' ' Irene said. Stefan kept his hand on her shoulder.

"Irene calm down, baby... stress is not good for your health" He mumbled and kissed her forehead. I smiled looking at them. Dad is always right that Stefan would be the right person for our princess, Irene.

"I can't believe this… How can someone stoop so low? How he could do something like this to an innocent soul like Sana." Emily frowned.

"The person who can sleep with another woman despite having a mate for an heir can do anything. Maybe that woman was influencing him but that doesn't make Richard innocent. He was a freaking asshole" I growled.

"That's true," Emily mumbled.

"We have to find that women on time also gather proof against her. if we want to prove Sana is innocent. If everyone came to know about Richard's real wife then it will bring Sana out of the allegation." Max said. I nodded my head, agreeing with him.

"Also the attacks which are happening on Luna will stop. Before she could do anything more dangerous, we have to catch her, Alpha" Sam said.

"And that is only possible if we caught her but the question is how we are going to find her? We had no clue about her. How did she look? What is her rank? Where she is leaving now, hiding from all of us, and how she is sending people to kill Luna. Is she running the pack after Richard?" Emily asked, looking towards Max.

"Believe me, I had no answer to any of your questions," Max said, earning a glare from her mate. He knows that Emily was saying all this in general, not asking anything but as usual he loved to tease her.

"Maybe Sana can give us any clue" Irene suggested. I turned my head and looked at my girl who was snoring lightly, sleeping in my arms. A smile came to my face.

"She slept?" Irene exclaimed.

"After you left the NGO, Alpha. I talked to that old lady about Luna's health. She told me strictly to stop Luna from taking Antidepressant tablets and also she said that it is not easy for a person to leave these high-dose tablets that's why she gave me the name of some medicine to give Luna. Last night Luna was about to take the tablet of Antidepressant as she was feeling uneasy and also she was having a terrible headache." Sam said. I look at her shockingly and then at Sana. She didn't share for once that she was in pain last night.

"Thankfully, I stopped her on time and told her what that old lady told me. I gave her the tablets which that lady gave me. Maybe medicine still has an effect on her" Sam muttered. Now, I realised why she was sleeping so long in the morning and now also, she is sleeping in my arms. I turned my head towards Sam.

"Thank you," I said. She smiled and nodded her head.

"It was my duty to protect Luna," she replied. I smiled and caressed my girl's hair.

"Now what?" Irene asked. I look at her and then at everyone.

"Now you all should go... My mate is sleeping and I don't want any disturbance in her sleep." They all look at me, widening their eyes. I shrugged my shoulders and started doing my favourite work, staring at my mate. Everyone nodded their heads and left the room one after another.

'She looks so cute while sleeping.' Dominic said like a lost puppy in love and I couldn't help myself but to agree with him. She indeed looks adorable while sleeping, not only while sleeping. She always looks cute.

'Don't know how she will react after waking up... Every day a new truth is revealed in front of her which is equally heartbreaking as the previous one. First, she realised how toxic her relationship with Richard was, then she came to know what that bastard did to her NGO, to her dream, and now this biggest truth that he had someone else in his life and was just using her for his heir... Please Moon Goddess help my girl to overcome all this pain." I prayed in my mind and embraced her tightly in my arms, kissed her forehead, then resumed my only work of adoring my lovable mate.
