Chapter 9

Valen’s POV

Like every cheating escapade and like every friend that wants to expose her best friend, it started small. Gina would mention things randomly. Perhaps she was scared of dumping the whole information on me, so she started small.

"I saw Veyra talking to Matt today," she'd say casually. "They seemed pretty close. He even hugged her."

Matt was one of the stronger wolves in high school training. I always felt insecure around him. He was strong, good looking, built like a warrior. Sometimes father even praises him for being so strong and it’s always got. I was so jealous of him, simple. At first, when Gina told me about Matt and Veyra, I did not take it seriously. Veyra was friendly with everyone. But then Gina started bringing it up more often.

"She was laughing at something he said. She seemed so happy with him. She even dropped her head on his shoulders. He fed her chips. She just kept laughing. I've never seen her laugh like that with you."

"They were sitting pretty close during the pack meeting. There was even a point where he said something, she just placed her head on him laughing. Even when everybody had stopped laughing, she just threw her head back and kept laughing. When they sat down, hand was touching his leg. She was rubbing her body on him.”

"I think I saw them sharing food at lunch. She didn’t even consider you when she went to share lunch with another boy. She knows that you are insecure about Matt and yet she went to share lunch with him? Isn't that kind of intimate?"

I was ignoring Gina until I started considering what she always said. I started making observations, I started watching Veyra more closely. And the more I watched, the more I noticed things. Gina was right. And the worst part was that it was not only Matt

I started noticing the way she smiled at other males. The way she winked at them. The way she laughed at their jokes. How she'd touch their arms when she laughed and when she saw me, she would withdraw her hands as if nothing happened. I noticed the way her eyes would light up when certain wolves approached her. She made me question myself. She made me hate myself. She always hung out with wolves stronger than me, so I actually never approach them or confront them

And when I confronted her, she waved it off- she said she had nothing to do with them and they were just friends. What was I thinking she would do? Admitted to the fact that she was cheating on me?

I became restless in school. I was classes ahead of Veyra so I never knew what she was doing in her class. I became an anxious person. I was always watching her, always checking up on her in her class always asking Gina- who shares the same class with her- for new update

“She was always a flirt,” Dada reminds me. “We didn’t know at first that she was a whore.”

But Gina helped me see. She was always there, pointing out things I missed. Gina what is the one that gave me solid reasons why I should not marry Veyra and make her my Luna

"Did you notice how she dressed for the new moon festival?” Gina had said to me one night after Veyra had stepped out of the room to pee. “That dress was so tight. It was exposing her whole body. The dress just hugged her curves. So low cut. I am very sure she is trying to attract those lustful men to herself. She was practically advertising herself to every male there. If I had a boyfriend that was as strong and great as you, I wouldn’t even do anything like that. Does she not know that you can lose you because of that kind of dressing? If you were my boyfriend, I would not even dress like that. I would always cover myself off. Nobody will see me half naked, only you,” she locked eyes with me

It was at that moment that I considered Gina. She seemed so modest, so supportive, she seemed like the perfect girlfriend. She saw me as a God. Nothing I did was wrong to her. She supported my every move. She thought the way I thought. It was a tough moment that I saw that Veyra was deserving of being my Luna

"I heard some of the warriors talking about her. Can you imagine? They just kept talking about how good she looked. How available she seemed. Even the mere warriors wants to fuck her. Very soon there will be passing your girlfriend around"

"She danced with three different males that night. Three, Valen. Are you not seeing how she humiliated you? Why are you even still with her? Did you not notice that she barely danced with you? And her brother, Alex, he keeps facilitating her bad behavior. I wonder why he would not talk to her?"

What I started feeling grew from just mere doubts to suspicions. And the suspicion grew into anger. How could I have been so blind? I remembered the night of the full moon, I had asked Veyra to dance with me and no sooner had the dance started had she ran to a man that came into the square. When I confronted her about it, she told me he was an old friend she had not seen in ten years

Meanwhile, she was secretly fucking behind me. Gina told me that Veyra fucked him that night. She had offered to take me to the room where Veyra was fucking the guy, but as we got close and I started hearing moaning sounds, I just run back like a chicken. I could not stand it.

That night, Veyra came back to me looking so scattered and with the scent of another man on her body
