Chapter 12

Valen’s POV

I didn’t want to believe my ears, but I could not lie to myself

heard the sounds coming from behind the massive willow tree that stood at one very dark corner. We are the moonlight refusing to shine properly because of the other vegetation around. I knew what I had. It was two people making out, I felt some type of way when I heard them. They were breathing fast, whispering to each other. In as much as I dreaded it, I was a little bit relieved that finally that had to be it. I was just very sure that I had found the proof I needed. It was one thing to break up, it was another thing to break up, knowing that you had good reasons for the break up

“Calm down…” Dada whispers to me

“Just shut up and let me concentrate!” I snapped

“Today is the full moon festival. A whole lot of people were mated today. Mates would usually try and mark each other and in the process they could make love. It is a normal thing to see people hiding in any corner. It could be any duo. Maybe even new mates trying to mark each other as I said,”

I do not listen, I kept advancing to what the sound source

“Do not interrupt them,” Dada sighed tiredly.

I do not still listen to him

“Fine. Just listen first before you make any hasty decisions, it might not be her,” Dada tried again to talk some sense into my head

Yes. There was a bit of sense in what Dada was saying. The festival had been going on all night. A lot of young werewolves found their mates. Couples snuck away to hideouts for a fun time. There might even be hundreds more couples hiding in different dark corners just to make out and have sex. But that didn’t matter. I was very sure that I was giving very close to answers and I was not going to let Dada to mess it up for me

“You are more delusional than I thought!” I retorted. “ sure that you are scared of finding out the truth.”

I heard more frantic gasps and I rushed toward the sound, all that was in my head was to catch them red-handed. I wanted to see the look that would be on Veyra’s even though I knew that it would break my heart. I wanted to tell her to her face that she is such a cheat liar. I wanted her to know that I have got her red-handed. So I ran faster. I dreaded what I was going to see, but I needed closure. The sounds got clearer as I approached - I could hear the spit slimy sounds moving in the mouth

But as I got closer, I made a sudden choice to slow down. I made a seemingly reasonable decision in my head and I tried to be discreet. So I moved carefully. I tried to camouflage myself with the bushes. Any unavoidable noise I made- noises like leaf rustling or twigs breaking- I tried to make it sound as if it was an animal nearby- a rodent or any other small. I was trying not to make any suspicious noise.

I wanted to really cut them red-handed, take some pictures even. I didn’t want to be gaslighted after the whole thing. I didn’t want her to tell me that I didn’t see what I saw. The last thing I wanted was to alert them and have them run away before I could see who it was. I wanted to know everything

The movements of the shadows under the dim light of the moon escaping into the site in view showed me everything. I could not figure out the faces, but still, I was sure that it was Veyra. I held my breath as I shifted myself when I tried to get a better angle without being seen.

This is when I had something that took me off guard.

The male voice groaned out a name… "Veyra, you are so sweet."

That was it. That fucking whore!

All the rage, all the heartbreak, all my depression, all the sleepless nights they all came together to me at once. I felt a mixture of emotions. I don’t think I have ever felt that way in my life. I couldn't think or see well. I swing between disbelief, anger, and a whole lot of things I couldn’t place. But at the end, one emotion settled the most, and it was anger

"You bastard!" I screamed as I ran to the tree like a mad bull. He had already pulled his shorts down and she was raising her gown up already, her newly dyed red hair cascading over her shoulders sexily as if she was inviting the boy over.

I didn't care to know who the man was. I just saw a male figure on top of Veyra and I completely lost it. They are not even ashamed of themselves, of all places to make out it had to be inside a bush? She had hurt me deeply! And what was the embarrassment for? The boy could go and announce it to the whole pack that he had fucked my girl! Was that how low Veyra had stooped

Before I could even condition myself to think properly, I grabbed the guy by his collar and dragged him off the Veyra with all the strength I had. I couldn’t digest the fact that he was minutes away from stuffing his dickninto Veyra’s pussy and releasing into her like bread stuffed with too much mayonnaise

He was smaller than me. He felt like a teenager in my arms and that even made me more angry. Why would Veyra choose its teenager over me? I threw him off my hands and he went flying backwards into the grass.

"How dare you touch my girlfriend!" I shouted

The boy scrambled to his feet, obviously shocked, surprised and in fear. What the hell, man? What's wrong with you?"

But I wasn't listening. If I listen, then there might have been a possibility that I was going to change my mind and lessen my punishment on him. I was not ready to do that. I had already sworn that I was going to teach him a lesson. Of all the girls in this pack, it was only my girlfriend that he saw to make out with. I was already moving toward him, clenching my fist and ready to hit his stupid face till he died. All I could see was red. I was not even listening. Dada was equally angry, but he was trying to tell me something, and I was not listening too. All I could think about was that this stranger had been kissing Veyra, touching her, doing things with her! He probably already had sex with her! I was going to kill him

I grabbed him by the shirt, lifted him up and shook him hard. "Why are you making out with my girlfriend? How long has this been going on? Did you have sex with her!?"

Veyra who was behind us was screaming now. I knew she was screaming, telling me to stop like her word mattered to me anymore and saying a whole lot of things, but I was not even listening to her. We would not have been in this situation in the first place if she had kept her legs closed to the whole community. I decided in my heart that I was going to deal with her later, but first of all, I was going to kill the boy!

The boy was trying to push me away, but I was bigger and stronger than him, and I was already slapping him furiously

"Answer me!" I demanded, hitting him again

"She's not your girlfriend!" he screamed frantically, his in between my slaps. "The girl is not Veyra!”
