Betrayal's Awakening

Chapter 1

Sharon’s POV

The report from the doctor wasn't what I was expecting. I thought I just had the flu, but it was more than that.

It's not something that must be said, given that I am not yet mated.

I shouldn't be bothered; we already promised each other that we'd be mates. No pregnant, unmated werewolf has ever been able to survive in Moontown Pack.

But I think I can survive because this baby belongs to the next-in-line Alpha.

The thought of becoming the next Luna is just so surreal, and any other female werewolf would kill to become one.

It made me so happy and fulfilled, like I had hit a milestone.

Who doesn't want to become the carrier of the Alpha's baby?

In my fear, covered with excitement, I went over to Killian's house to break the news to him.

This would bring so much joy to him, and I'm sure he would be so surprised to have an heir already. But the only problem was that this news must be kept between us.

If word gets out that I was pregnant without being marked or mated to my fated mate, lots of unthinkable things would befall me.

It is so aggravating that when a male and female come together and have a baby out of wedlock, the woman is punished for it.

A lot of unthinkable things would be done to the woman for getting pregnant without having a mate yet.

I was scared, but I am certain that Killian would not let that befall me. Our love is beyond the thoughts of man.

I am so sure that Killian would accept our baby and he would do the right thing by me to avoid being a laughingstock in town.

Being banished from the pack with an imprint on one's collarbone? Becoming a rogue? Losing all my powers? Not to talk of being a rogue that depreciates until he/she dies.

Ugh. It was terrifying. The thought of getting banished and being a depreciating rogue was something that I feared the most.

Killian won't let that happen to me... I was so sure. He'd told me countless times how much he loves me and how much he would love me to be the mother of his children. He'd even promised me that I would be his one and only Luna.

I trusted Killian, so with a smile on my face, I got to his place and threw a knock on his door.

I could already feel the bond between us; the closer I stepped, the stronger the bond felt.

My heart thumped wildly in my chest as I felt it. A very strong bond pulling me inside.

"Oh my goddess... This is happening!"

With excitement in my heart, I headed for his room. The door to his room was slightly open, and I could see the bed from where I was standing.

The bond became stronger than ever as I got closer. I could see him sit up from the bed through the little opening in the door. He hadn’t noticed I was in yet...

A smile grew on my face as I was about to open the door ajar but stopped in my tracks when I heard something…

“So what are you going to do now?”

A woman's voice, which clearly wasn't mine...

“It's about time to state your ground on this issue. I can't keep giving myself to you and not get any assurance at all.”

With a frown on my face, I pushed my head through the little opening to see who was talking…

My heart broke into pieces seeing the compromising position he was in with another lady, which clearly wasn't me…

I couldn't fathom the lady's face yet since her back was to him.

"You know I love you, right? It's either you or no one else. You're my number one, so stop all these things that you're saying… it's you I'm in love with. Not her…”

What?

"That's all that you say, but you publicly profess your love for her and not me. Everyone thinks you want her to be mates with you. No one even knows that I am in the picture.”

My heart thumped wildly. What exactly was happening right now?

I felt tears pouring from my eyes…

As the lady turned to face him, my heart beat increased, and my mouth fell open in shock.

I just couldn't believe it…

Wasn't that… Mirabel?

My best friend?

I rubbed my eyes vigorously to be sure that I was seeing well…

It's her…

It's Mirabel…

We've been friends since we've known each other, and our friendship has never been broken.

The bond between us was so strong that we knew everything about each other to the extent people in the pack usually call us twins…

What was she doing in Killian's place? My boyfriend’s place, naked and on his bed!

"Mirabel!" I screamed.

Both of them jumped in shock that they had been caught.

Mirabel's eyes opened wide as she saw me.

“What… what…. What are you doing here?” She stuttered, still shocked to be caught on my boyfriend's bed naked!

"What am I doing here?!" I screamed in anger, quite amazed at her absurd question.

Shouldn't I be the one asking her that?!

"What do you mean by that question?!” I rushed to her to land a dirty slap on her face but was shocked when Killian, my supposed boyfriend and mate, guarded her and pushed me aside, making me fall on the ground with a loud thud.

What exactly was happening?

Did Killian just push me away?

Before I could even fathom what was happening, I felt a heavy slap on my face.

And it was Killian! He had slapped me!

He stomped on me and kicked my head, making blood gush out of my forehead.

I just couldn't believe it. What have I done?

"What are you doing in my house unannounced?" was the next thing he blurted out with not even a care in the world that he had hurt me.

His mate!

His supposed fated mate!

My heart squeezed in pain because I could still feel the bond between us. It was still there, strong and painful…

I was carrying his child, and he was sleeping with my best friend!

So what then becomes of me?

What about the promises he had made to me?

"Kill...ian?" I stuttered in shock and confusion.

"Sharon, get the fuck out of my house now!"

"What? Killian... I am your mate. Can't... Can't you also feel it?"

"I don't care, Sharon. I don't give a damn because I will reject you. You can't be my mate. I never loved you; all I did was use you to get to your friend who I love so much."

"No Killian, don't do this to me. I love you. You're my life, I can't live without you, and also, I'm... I'm...  I'm... Pre—"

"Ugh, reject her fast. She's getting on my nerves!" Mirabel screamed.

"I, Killian, the next to be Alpha in line, reject you, Sharon, as my fated mate."

As he said those dreadful words, my knees went weak, and my vision blurred.
