Chapter 001

~Kaira~

I felt uneasy walking towards the packhouse’s ballroom.

It was Christmas Eve, and the Alpha of my pack, Dominic Coldstone, threw a party and invited more than half the Elite wolves in the region.

For some reason, my legs felt weak. 

Maybe it's because I haven't seen my boyfriend, Tyrone, all day.

He didn't answer my calls or return my texts. 

I am getting worried now.  I hope nothing bad happened to him.

I had mixed feelings coming to the party without him.

Tyrone had invited me to the party two days before.

We planned to attend the party as a couple in matching couple outfits.

I was wearing the dress we agreed on. The suit he was supposed to wear was in my hand.

I thought when I saw him, I'd give it to him to change into.

Tonight, Tyrone and I plan to tell everyone about our secret relationship at the Christmas party.

We thought it was the perfect time to tell them everything.

 There would be so much excitement and celebration. 

We've been dating since I was seventeen, and Tyrone suggested we’d get married when I turn nineteen.

Apart from my adopted parents, Tyrone was the only one who cared for me, and I know I could trust him.

 We got together at the high school dance, where he told me he had always had feelings for me, but he didn't know how I would react.

I loved him right back. I've always admired him from afar.

 Tyrone was the Alpha’s son—the only Alpha heir of our pack.

I didn't care what he was; I just loved him.

We love each other very much.

 Without Tyrone in my life, this pack would have made a better hell for me than whatever imaginary hell the goddess had prepared for sinners.

As an adopted pup, people my age would tease and taunt me.

Humiliating and reminding me of my place when they found out Tyrone and I were dating.

Although we didn't confirm anything, that didn't stop the other nosy she-wolves from poking their noses in our business.

 They said Tyrone deserved better, and I wasn't a good choice for him.

Maybe they are right. There are more powerful and deserving she-wolves than me.

But Tyrone chose to fall in love with me.

That's all that mattered now.

After waiting for two years plus, we were finally going to tell Tyrone’s father, the Alpha and the pack members about our relationship.

And the night is finally here.

I took a deep breath and walked into the ballroom.

It was packed with guests, happily chatting and socialising.

Laughter and music filled the room.  

“What are you doing here, Kaira?”  Samantha, one of my bullies, approached me with her minions.

She had a glass in her hand, and she twirled it.

“I'm here to attend the party, of course. Tyrone invited me two days ago. Besides, this is a pack affair, and I’m allowed to go here,” I replied. 

 Samantha looked at her minions, and they all laughed at me.

“You are so naive, Kaira. Tyrone never wanted you. Dont you get it?” Samantha mouthed, grinning.

“And who made you the judge of that?” I asked.

Despite my brave face, I could feel heat crawling up my chest.

I hate to deal with Samantha and her bullying without Tyrone by my side.

“Oops, sorry for running my mouth, sweetie”, Samantha chuckled. “Please go ahead and find Tyrone; he must be eager to see you”

 I glanced at Samantha and her minions for a second longer, then I turned and left.

I swallowed and walked upstairs to find Tyrone. 

We had a secret hideout in the pack.

 I always looked for him here when he was hiding from his father.

Why did he tell Samantha and the others about this place?

This was supposed to be our only secret place, just us.

I planned to scold him when I saw him later.

Samantha and the others watched me walk upstairs.

The room was at the end of the hallway, and I rushed-walked until I got to it.

Only then did I let out a soft breath and look back.

Suppose Tyrone doesn't want to see anyone. There was no use knocking; he wouldn't answer.

 If he sees me, he wouldn't mind.

So, I turned the knob, pushed the door open, and entered.

The first thing I hear when I walk in is a long moan from the small bed in the room.

I freeze when I see my boyfriend thrusting into a she-wolf I couldn't identify from the back.

My boyfriend, my supposed future mate.

He had her legs lifted while he thrust in.

They moaned out in unison, making me tremble in my spot.

I couldn't move; I tried.

I felt something twisted inside me, watching my boyfriend entangled in sheets with another girl.

I can feel tears blurring my eyes, and I dab them away, trying to act brave.

When Tyrone lifted his head and saw me, he looked at me like I was nothing more than a disruption.

Disrupting his private moment.

“Ty, how could you?” I ask, tears spewing frommy eyes. “Why?” 

 Before Tyrone replies, Samantha stands behind me, smirking.

“See?” she grins. “I told you, you shouldn't be here. Do you believe me now?”

 “Shut your tramp, bitch! I'm talking to my boyfriend,” I snap, breaking out of character.

Samantha looks at me with disbelief; she never expected me to snap like that.

“Boyfriend?” I hear a scoff and turn in that direction. “You really think you are worthy of being my girlfriend?” Tyrone asks, wrapping himself with a duvet.

When he stepped down from the she-wolf, I finally saw her face.

Morgana.

My adoptive sister.

She grinned and got out of bed as well. 

“Kaira, getting adopted into a Beta’s family doesn't make you a Beta blood. Did you forget?” Morgana asked.  

I was shocked. Morgana had never talked to me like that before.

In fact, she treated me like a sister all these years.

I even confided in her about my relationship with Tyrone, that we were going public today.

“Morgana?” I shakily muttered. “What are you doing here?” 

“What does it look like I'm doing?”  she retorts. “Getting f*cked, of course”

“By my boyfriend?” My mouth dropped. “Couldn't you find anyone else to sleep with?”

“Why? Isn't Tyrone fuckable?” she says, making Samantha chuckle. “And who says Tyrone is your boyfriend? Are you delusional?”

“You know he's my boyfriend, Morgana, I told you. My voice became sharper. “Did you do this to spite me? I thought we were sisters and best friends?”

“Spite you?” she chuckled. “Oh, please, you think too highly of yourself, Kaira”

She walked over and linked her hand around Tyrone’s own.

“Tyrone has never truly loved you; he was just playing around with you.” Grinning, she looked at him. “At my request”

“What?” I remarked. “No, that's not true”

 “Haha, what were you thinking?” Samantha chimes in. “That an adopted nobody like you is worthy of being the luna of our pack? Duh, even if you're the beta’s adopted daughter, you're still practically a nobody”

“Tyrone,” I push past Samantha. “Is this true? Were you playing around with me?”

“No, baby”, Tyrone says. “I can explain —”

“Oh, please, babe”, Morgana rolled her eyes. “There’s no need to butter her up anymore”  

“Seriously, babe? Let me toy with her one last time,” Tyrone joked. “It's so satisfying”

“What are…You did not…?” I stutter, I couldn't speak. 

They weren't joking. It looks like they really did know each other well.

Morgana pulled Tyrone close, kissed him passionately with her tongue twirling inside his mouth. 

She moaned into his mouth while he played with her ass.

“Baby, stop, haha”, Morgana giggled. “Dont you care for Kaira? She might slump right here”

My stomach twisted with pangs. I badly wanted to walk out of the room, but I couldn't.

I was in shock. 

Tyrone stopped giggling and grabbed Morgana’s breast, kissing it in front of me.

“Yyyyy-you said you loved me, Tyrone”, I stuttered to say. “Why are you doing this to me?”

 Tears streaked my face uncontrollably.

Tyrone let go of Morgana and turned to face me fully.

“Loved you?” Tyrone poked my head. “No, dummy. You were too dumb to see the truth. Morgana is the only one I love”

My chest ached. I couldn't wrap my sinking brain around what Tyrone just said.

How can that be?

“Why?” My nostrils flared, tears still streaming down my face. “Why did you choose to toy with me?”

Morgana looked annoyed when she walked up to me, grabbing my jaw tightly. 

“Fucking hell,” Morgana cussed. “You still don't get it, do you? I'm sure you are not that slow.”  She smirked. “Tyrone never wanted you; you were just a toy I asked him to play with”

She looked back at Tyrone; they exchanged a knowing glance.

“No!” I shook my head in denial. “Tyrone, say something. Tell her it's not true. You didn't toy with me, we truly loved each other, right?”

I sound like a pathetic whore begging for love right now, but I didn't care.

Tyrone looked at my pathetic state; he smirked.

“Morgana is right,” he let out a small laugh.“She wanted me to toy with you, and I did as she asked”

I felt dizzy, staggering to hold on to the walls.

No!
