Selena Pov

The bedroom door suddenly swung open, and Alpha Valdo walked in, a bit wet from the rain. He didn't pay any attention to me and went straight to the bathroom. I decided to get up and put on some clothes. I took out a pair of his pajamas and left it by the bathroom door. Then, I went to the balcony.

It was the rainy season, and the drizzle outside made everything seem calm. I could hear the raindrops hitting the ground softly. I turned around and saw Alpha Valdo coming out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist. His wet hair and muscular body made him look attractive.

He noticed me looking at him and gave me a slight frown. "Come here," he said, without any emotion in his voice.

I walked over and caught the towel he threw at me. He wanted me to dry his hair. I was used to his demanding ways, so I sat on the edge of the bed and kneeled behind him to dry his hair.

"Grandpa's funeral is tomorrow. We should go to the family home early," I reminded him. I wasn't trying to start a conversation, just making sure he remembered. His mind was often preoccupied with thoughts of Camilla.

"Okay," he grunted, not saying much else.

Knowing that he didn't want to talk, I stayed quiet and focused on drying his hair. After that, I went back to bed, ready to sleep.

Lately, I had been feeling tired all the time, probably because of my pregnancy. Usually, Alpha Valdo would go to his study after showering and stay there until midnight. So I was surprised when he got into bed after changing into his pajamas.

Suppressing my confusion, I didn't ask any questions. Suddenly, he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer, giving me a gentle kiss.

I looked at him, puzzled. "Alpha Valdo, I'm..."

"Reluctant?" he interrupted, his eyes showing a hint of desire.

I lowered my gaze. Yes, I was reluctant, but it wasn't up to me.

"Can you be more gentle?" I asked. The baby was only six weeks old, and there was a risk of miscarriage.

He frowned, but didn't say anything. Instead, he turned me over and began to be rough. I curled up in pain, trying to protect the baby as best as I could.

The rain outside started pouring heavily, matching his forceful movements. Lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the room with each thunderous boom. After a while, he got up and went back to the bathroom.

Feeling sweaty and in pain, I thought about getting up to take some painkillers. But I decided against it, thinking of the baby.

Suddenly, the phone on the bedside table rang. It was Alpha Valdo's phone. I looked at the clock and saw that it was already eleven o'clock.

It must be Camilla calling. She was the only one who would call him at this hour.

As Alpha Valdo came out the shower with a towel around him, he noticed that I was still naked in his bed. He asked me; "Why are you still here in my bed?!"

I appeared confused and said, "We're married, and I just gave myself to you!"

He scoffed and responded coldly, "It was a mistake. I slept with you because I was feeling aroused, nothing more. Now, please leave and go to your room."

He callously broke my heart without showing any remorse, treating me as if I were a cheap whore instead of his cherished partner, his luna.
