Valen’s POV
Then came the reports about Alpha Fidah’s son from the neighboring pack. He'd been visiting more frequently. She told me she got a contract from him for her pantry business, but that was a lie! Gina noticed things. "What was she acting all clingy around him? Did you notice how she was just jumping around him? How can she volunteer to serve him during the meeting? Why does she keep throwing herself at everybody? That is such a lowlife behavior" "I saw her bringing him special pastries from the bakery. Do you know how long I have asked her to give me that chocolate cake? Anytime I tell her to make one for me she always has an excuse on how difficult it is to make, and how she doesn’t have enough time to make it, and how people do not really order for it, and how she would run on a loss if she does it. She is such a pretender.” "They were walking in the garden yesterday. Alone. For over an hour." I feel a weight in my chest as I remember the rage I felt. The betrayal. Why? What did I do to her to deserve what she did to me? I tried my best to get her back, but she was far too gone. Why did she always find a way to always humiliate me? My mate, my chosen one, flirting with other males behind my back. I had talked to her several times. I have told her I don’t like her associating with other men. But she always has an excuse. She never saw the reason in my words. She just always had an excuse for every boy she talks to “She made us look like fools!” Dada growls. I got his anger rising with mine. “We looked like a weak, pathetic fool who couldn't even keep his woman satisfied. At a point, I started fucking her silly. I thought to myself that maybe I am not fucking her enough and that is why she is looking for dick somewhere else. I fucked her so good. Even when she would tell me to stop, I would not stop. I went to the Internet and I searched about various ways to please her. I told her up, did bdsm, even role played. But instead of how to be grateful, she started complaining about how the new sex though didn’t her. There was no satisfying Veyra, no. How could I have thought that I would satisfy a whore? A community property? The final straw came when Gina showed me the evidence. It was all in my face. "I need to show you something immediately,”she said that evening. I was very busy practicing for my training the next day, but she insisted and she said it was urgent. She looked at me with sadness in her eyes, pity even. "I know that this would hurt you, but I think you need to know about everything. You need to see for yourself “ She pulled out photos. They were pictures of Veyra and other men. She was laughing with them, touching them, eating with them, acting all lovey-dovey "I felt like you were not believing me enough, I have to start taking pictures. Where are you still with her? She keeps cheating on you.," Gina explained. "Look at how happy and fulfilled she looks when she is with these guys. I think you need to do something, Valen” The photos in my hands felt hot immediately- they were burning me like fire. I couldn’t take it anymore. I couldn’t look at them anymore, so I tore them up with a furiously She was cheating on me, I think bitterly. "You know, she told me that she is planning to leave you" Gina had said softly, looking at me in the eyes with more pity on her face. "She is considering another alpha son and she is just just waiting for the right opportunity. She told me that if she does not succeed in marrying another alpha, then she will settle for you. She said you are trash and you are too weak for her to settle down with. I think she is just weighing her options and looking for the right male to take her away from you” I decided I was going to dump Veyra, but my heart was still beating for her even after all the evidence that Gina was showing me. That day, I cried in Gina’s arms. I felt betrayed. The girl I loved was looking for somebody else, and she would soon dump me Of course. Everything is starting to make so much sense now. When I confronted her about the cheating, she still continued. I had to end things with her. She is not with me and my greatness. And after I ended things between us, she was so angry at me. The humiliation goes to her. That night of the party, I saw her cry. I almost felt pity for her, but now I understand. She cried because I had ruined her plans. So she decided to hurt me in the most vicious way possible. By seducing and sleeping with my father . Everything is making me understand more. Everything makes sense now. “Disgusting whore,” Dada spits painfully. “Using her body to get revenge. Using her body to get all those contracts in her pantry.” My anger grows stronger. She thinks she can humiliate me and walk away? She thinks she can destroy my reputation and suffer no consequences? I will deal with her “Gina tried to warn us,” he replies. “Gina is the one that supports you and cares about you. You made a good decision by sticking to her. She is the only one who's loyal. I see you becoming great with her by your side” Gina is unlike Veyra who was asking me stupid questions because I did not buy her a gown. Can you imagine? She has not seen me for days and the first thing she asked is why I bought a gown for Ghinna and did not buy for her too. How did I not notice that she had been using me? Gina never asked for anything in return. She just wanted to keep me from getting hurt. Gina is so sweet and faithful. She loves me for who I am and not what she can get from me. She has been trying to protect me from Veyra's betrayal for years. If not for her, I would not know the truth- I would not have caught Veyra in bed that night with another manValen’s POVHer lips touched my lips and I couldn’t move. I was very shocked. I knew I had lusted after her for a while, but I didn’t expect her to make a moveI had a whole lot of emotions going on in my head until one particular emotion settled in my chest. It was lust- the very emotion that’s made me hold her to the point where she kissed meI found myself kissing her back, wanting more of her. I could taste the mint chewing gum in her mouth. I liked the way her lips felt in mine.It felt good that somebody who will not lie to me wanted me and kissed me so passionatelyI didn’t realise until that point that I had been so lonely since everything happened with Veyra. Kissing? I had almost forgotten that that word existed. I didn’t even think of kissing anybody any longer. There was only one person I used to kiss and that one person betrayed me. I had forgotten about anything like affection. Maybe it was my brain trying to protect me from whatever was happening. I hadn’t even realis
Valen’s POVI couldn’t sleep well the previous night. I just kept going through my phone- all the pictures I had taken with Veyra, our texts, the voice recordings of her singing or just acting goofy, the videos of us together. They all broke my heartI even came across pictures of her with that man in bed, naked! I was so angry! I immediately deleted all of them. I didn’t want to ever come across those pictures in my lifeI decided to check the internet-social media- and see if the small crowd had actually listened to Gina. I first of all checked the hashtag that Gina had told them to create and I saw that people had actually created them.Under the hashtags were pictures of Veyra in her vulnerable moments and comments highlighting people’s opinion about the whole thingI decided to read the comments“Poor girl," someone had written . "Who knew she was an addict”"It's a shame that they have broken up. They used to be the power couple. True love indeed, lol”I felt my chest tighten.
Valen’s POV“No, no, no, don’t cry,” Gina rushed to her to hold her. “I only meant that you are unstable , that is what the doctor said”"She's not thinking clearly because she's a liar. I mean her own boyfriend just said it!” someone in the crowd muttered."That's wrong,”" Gina suddenly faced them off with a stern look. "Who are you to judge her. Besides, like I said before, this is a private matter!”A few people nodded in agreement. Some walked away murmuring“My friend has just been through a lot lately,” Gina continued. "So she needs our compassion, not our criticism, judgements and side talks”I watched as Gina worked the crowd, and something about it felt off. She was defending Veyra, but somehow she was also making her look worse. She was making it sound as if Veyra is fragile, unstable, not to be trusted- which she actually is, but did she have to tell the public like that?I shrugged. It didn’t really concern me. This thing was between friends, and besides I figured out tha
Valen’s POV“Oh man, come over here and see this. I think his girlfriend is cheating on him with some other dude! I told you didn’t I? He busted my face for this shit man!”I look up to see the boy I beat up during the full moon ceremony calling his friends who were passing byI was so annoyed. This is what I have been reduced into? A laughing stock?“I can see you need more beating!?” I growled at him and his friends. I saw him clearly now. I recognized him- he was the boy with the strange accent. The boy whose rogue mother eloped with a human and pleaded her way back into the pack after ten years. He was lucky to be fully werewolf as human genetics are usually strong. If not for the mercy of the moon goddess, he would have been half human, half wolf and that could have made him an omega“You want me to burst your face the second time!?” I growl at him, taking a dangerous step towards him“No man, I’m aigh’t,” he chuckles alongside his friends. “ You embarrassed me in front of my mat
Valen’s POV"That's a good idea," I found myself saying after saying no to Dada. "You need to keep her drug abusing self in check”“Valen!” Veyra screamed in protest, pulling away from Gina slightly so she could get a proper look at me. If somebody has ever told me that a time will come when you reject me this way, I would not believe it. We have been together for so long- so so long, Valen- why is it so difficult for you to believe me? Have I ever lied to you?”“Yes you have!” I replied sharply. “You acted like the best thing to happen to me, meanwhile you have been whoring around and sniffing drugs. I never knew that you were about that life”"Valen, please. I don’t do drugs and the last thing I will do is to cheat on you. Just give me one more chance to explain.""You have said that over and over again. I have heard you." I said firmly. "Go home. Rest. You know what? We need time away from each other so we can heal and move on with our lives. It is over, Veyra. And I hope you get
Valen’s POVGina is such a beautiful soul. Even after everything that happened, she still open her arms for a hug for VeyraVeyta on the other hand started screaming. She didn’t even care to acknowledge that her friend wanted to hug her. "You set me up! What have I ever done to you!?" Veyra shouted, advancing at Gina as if to beat her up.Gina just froze for a second. She looked confused.“Don’t just stand there and act as if you are innocent! What have you been telling Valen?”“Veyra… are you alright? I can’t see that you just woke up and you might be confused.”“Shut up! You are so ungrateful! After all my parents did for you!? I took you as a sister. How would you go to Valen and lie about me cheating on him!?”“Veyra…” Gina was speaking, but Veyra cut her short“About the night of the full moon, what happened!? Was it you ghat set me up?” She cried“You weren't even supposed to remember… it was supposed to be a smooth operation, yet here you ate, alive!?” Gina flips suddenly, but
