His cruel verdict

VIRELLE'S POV

Slowly consciousness came to me in heavy waves. My eyes felt like they were glued together and when I tried opening them, a wave of pain shot through my body, as I twisted against the soft surface I laid on.

“Virelle” I hear someone call out to me softly and almost like a balm, the ache subsided slowly.

“Virelle” I hear my name again and this time I slowly peel my eyes open.

Right before me stood a white transparent wolf with glowing blue eyes. It seemed so beautiful and lovely almost like a spirit?

“What are you?” I found myself asking.

“I'm Nyzarelle, your wolf” My gaze furrowed as my head spun harshly.

Wolf?

So, I wasn't a pathetic wolfless werewolf, cursed by the moon? A broken mutt cursed by the moon goddess herself. And now she decides to show up?!

Like…now?! Five f*cking years later!?

“Why didn’t you come before? Where the hell were you when I needed you!?”

“I promise to explain, but… he’s coming. We’ll talk later.”

Then she just slams into my head, with no warning, and I jolt like my entire body got electrocuted. Pain shreds through me, and I’m shaking so hard my fingers clutch at the sheets like they’re the only thing holding me to earth.

“Easy… I got you.”

“Calm down…I'm here now” I hear a calm deep voice, and I feel the pain soothing as I peel my eyes open.

My eyes blink open again. And holy shit!.

Sitting right across me was a handsome Greek Lord. Like, unfairly.

His cheekbones could slice glass and his green eyes look like forest fire as he stares at me like I’m glass—like if he touches me wrong, I’ll shatter.

“Mate.”

That whisper from Nyzarelle echoes in my skull and my whole chest explodes.

He’s my mate?

But… he’s not the man who bought me at the auction.

No, no, no. This can’t be real.

“The moon goddess gave us two mates,” Nyzarelle answers, confirming my thought, like it's just some casual Tuesday news.

What the actual f*ck!?

Suddenly, I feel that pull again as the sweet smell hits my nostril. My eyes trail to the door on instinct, just right to see him walk in.

Handsome was an understatement for him, with his perfect pair of blue-green gaze that burns straight into my soul. His shirt unbuttoned just enough to flash his chest, and I swear I almost drool. His hands are in his pockets and his frown’s the sexiest damn thing I’ve ever seen.

I want to crawl into his arms. Or under him. I don’t even care.

“Mate…” slips outta my mouth before I can catch it and my cheek heats up as his gaze shifts to mine.

“You gotta be kidding me!” The first guy with green-eyes growl with his hand still on mine. His voice explodes across the room like thunder.

“Hi Ric..”

“Shut the hell up!” he roars, flipping his chair back like a man possessed.

Oh. Shit.

“The moon goddess is messing with me, right?! My mate…mine!...is yours too, Kai?! You always do this shit. Always crawling in and stealing what’s mine! Fuck you! Fuck your Alpha title!”

And Kai just… stands there with his cold stone-face, unbothered.

Wait. Kai's an Alpha!?

My brain can’t catch up.

Ric’s still losing it. “I won’t share her. I gave up enough, Kai, I accepted the Beta position too. You can’t take her too. I won't let go”

I’m mated to an Alpha and a Beta. Twins. And they’re gonna kill each other over me.

Just then, Kai snorts.

“You can keep her…I don't want her. My mate can't be some weak wolf. Definitely not a fucking used-up sex slave to a vampire.”

Every breath in me dies.

Did he just…just slam an insult into me?

My heart caves in as Nyzarelle lets out this gut-wrenching whimper. His words feel like fangs in my chest, twisting hard against my hopes.

Kai turns to Ric. “I’ll stick with Theseira. She's worth something. And no cause for alarm…I'd reject her if you want me to right now” He continues, his gaze fixating on me on the last part. And I felt my soul being torn apart from me.

Ric growls. “Say that again, you bastard. I dare you.”

“Is that how you talk to your Alpha?” Kai snaps back, his voice full of venom, and Ric bows, barely holding back the rage.

“The Alpha should stay the fuck away from my mate,” Ric mutters, fists clenched.

“I believe the Alpha uphold his rules and stay clear from my mate as he doesn't want her and also reject her soon”

For a fleeting second I saw Kai's jaw tightened before it loosened up, just as a lady walked in. Right in front of my eyes, Kai pulled her toward himself, his gaze fixated on me, as he slammed his lips against hers.

Something inside me cracks. Like, shatters. Nyzarelle screams in my mind, and my tears finally break loose. I’m gasping. Crying. Dying.

How on earth did I ever think he had accepted me, I was just a broken ragdoll of Roderick. A fucked up one.

“Fucking prick,” Ric spits, pulling me into his arms, trying to shield me from whatever Kai was doing, but I can’t unsee it.

Kai breaks the kiss, turns, and tosses one last grenade.

“Keep her. I don’t want her” He repeated before tearing his gaze away from mine.

“Make sure the pack’s in one piece when I get back, Ric.”

“Yes, Alpha,” Ric snarls.

And then Kai walked out alongside the lady.

I felt my whole world crashing down as I watched him leave, I wanted to rush over to him and explain myself, begging him to stop. But I just sat there, rooted in Ric’s hold.
