Hailey's POV
Everyone was in the ballroom, patiently waiting for Vickson. But no one was more anxious than I was. It had been two years since I had waited for him. I was there to toss him goodbye when he left for his Alpha training, now I'm here waiting for his arrival.
And today, a huge celebration was to be thrown for his welcome. It wouldn't just be the welcoming ceremony but also the day he would reveal his mate and future Luna to all those present.
The door was wide open, you could observe all that was happening outside through all the windows. It seemed as if the atmosphere changed when a white car pulled up right in front of the house. Now, everyone's gaze was directed to that white car.
I started arranging my hair to look beautiful.
I was so in love with this guy, and he loved me even more. He just needed to go for this training, and he promised to come back and get married to me. But there was one problem: was he my mate? What if the moon goddess decides to give me another mate? What will I do then?
My mouth widened at the sight of Vickson getting out of the car. It had been two years since we last spoke or saw each other and he looked more handsome than ever. His beauty took my breath away quite literally as I seemed to stop breathing for a moment.
My cheeks turned red when he started walking toward me.
"MATE!" howled my wolf within, and I felt our mate connection.
I bite my lower lip in anticipation of him coming closer to me. However, as soon as he walked past me and embraced my stepsister Ava, my heart sank to my stomach. Both of them hugged and kissed right in front of me as i stood there frozen wiping my tears. Had I imagined it all? He didn't even react as if he had seen me. It was as if I had turned invisible.
My heart was more than shattered; it wrestled with a lump in my throat.
"She's my mate!" He proclaimed it loudly for all to hear.
Why was he lying to everyone?
Tears swirled in my eyes as i hid my face in shame and ran upstairs to my room.
I left the room, slamming the door behind me, and started to create chaos all over. I picked up a flower vase and hurled it towards the mirror spilling over my dresser in the process.
How could he do this to me? He assured me that I was the only one in his life and with my step-sister too, what have I done to him? I don't deserve this.
Tears streamed down my face and I fell to the floor in sobs weeping bitterly.
I turned around to see someone opening my door.
"Get out! Leave me alone, you traitor." I struck Vickson, hitting him on the chest with my fragile hands.
'Do not do that' he said holding my wrist tightly to stop me.
"How could you do this to me, of all the women in the world, you had to pick my step-sister Ava? Why were you so cruel?" I asked him as tears streamed down my cheeks.
After locking the door behind us he walked up to me and pushed me against the door.
"Did you think I'd marry you instead of her? Get real, you're just an orphan with no unknown's [sic] where you come from.
You don't even have a powerful wolf as compensation. You are weak and will prove to be a burden on me."
You should be grateful, maybe even stand-offish; I dated you in the first place. His words were a dagger, piercing my heart deeply.
I surrendered all of my strength and curled up on the ground like a piece of ice.
Yet even this didn't let me crash to the ground in peace, as he held my wrist, preventing it from touching the floor.
"Still, to be honest, I did enjoy our dating; I loved the food you cooked for me and much more. But you are not good enough to be my Luna,' he went on to hurt me even more."
"Then why the hell did you give me false hope in the first place? You should never have promised me marriage," I shouted back.
"I didn't give you any false hope. You just kept forcing yourself on me," he said, stroking my face.
His filthy hands off me, I said pushing his hand away from me.
"Always wanted to know what you taste like, mate!" He bit his lower lip and brought his lips close to my neck.
"Don't touch me; you are a monster," I scolded him trying to get even closer to me.
I pushed his hand away but the strength he had was more than mine.
He pulled me on the bed and got on me.
"You can't do this, Vickson." I tried to protest, but he had already pinned my legs and hands down.
"Shhh! Don't fight it; I know you want it as much as I do. You can't be this person with just the two of us in one room." He whispered intensely in my ear, and if not for his betrayal,
Then, I would have found it romantic.
But despite everything, this is the man I was still madly in love with.
I found it very hard to resist him, especially since he made me feel that way. My buddy did not even want to release him; she just kept shouting and begging for him.
He laid me on the bed silently, coming on me. He caressed my face as his lips moved gently against mine.
I kept my eyes shut slowly and watched him exploit me.
I allowed his hands full freedom, and his kisses were as arousing as always. It was just the way I had imagined my wedding night would be; th ambiance was perfect, though it was the worst timing and the worst person.
My wolf wouldn't be tamed, though. She wanted him more than she wanted me, and she was running my body like a pro.
