Jenna hastened her footsteps through the hotel’s hallway as she headed toward Damien’s room with anger evident on her face. Her head felt like it was going to explode as infuriation crawled up her body. “Who misses his fiancée’s dress fitting appointment?”
As she got closer to the door, her heart became filled with anxiety as the unmistakable sound of female moans filled her ears. Her breath caught up in her throat as each step she took got heavier than the last
As she reached the door, the sounds grew louder, and her worst fears were confirmed.
“You like it, don’t you,” came Damien’s raspy voice as the noise of bodies clapping filled her ears.
“Yes Daddy..” the woman moaned in response.
“Ohh f*ck!” Damien groaned, I can’t wait to make you mine!”
At those words, Jenna’s mind went blank as she blinked hard in confusion. She checked the room number again to be sure she wasn’t in the wrong room, “205 was boldly written on the door.” This was definitely Damien’s room and she was sure because she had personally selected it for him as family and friends were gathered to celebrate her father’s birthday in his hotel before their wedding day.
With shaky hands, she pushed the door knob and surprisingly it wasn’t locked. The grip on her purse loosened, letting it fall to the ground. For a second she thought she was hallucinating as she blinked repeatedly hoping for the scene in front of her to leave her head, but it didn’t!
Her jaw dropped in disbelief as she watched Damien and her stepsister, Coty, intertwine in each other’s arms, their faces filled with pleasure. Damien was kissing her with his hands wrapped around her waist, pulling her closer to him and digging deep into her as she moaned repeatedly with a firm grip on him, lost in their dark pleasure.
Jenna stood frozen as her mind was unable to process what was going on. She couldn’t understand the betrayal unfolding before her eyes and the fact that her stepsister would do this to her.
She clenched her fist as she tried to hold back the tears that threatened to fall.
She never wanted this marriage from the beginning but being the only legitimate daughter of the Alpha of the Crescent Moon Pack she was caught up in a marriage of alliance between her father and Damien’s father who was the former Beta of the Silvercrest Pack as they conspired to take the position of Alpha from his brother.
Her father, George Spears, was a prominent man who knew nothing about patience. His decisions were not to be thwarted for any reason.
He saw a chance to gain more power and elevate his influence in the society and didn't waste any time taking it by marrying her to a monster who had no regard for womanhood just to achieve his selfish desires.
She wasn’t allowed to choose her groom even if it was her mate but on the day she met Damien, he turned out to be her mate.
She was happy that she would at least be ending up with her mate but he betrayed her right before her eyes. He chose to humiliate her by having an affair with her stepsister. “Even though he had told her countless times how much he hated her, for the sake of the mate bond they shared she had expected better!”
“Damien!…” Catching her breath she managed to utter, her voice barely above a whisper.
She stood transfixed as none of them seemed to hear her.
They were both so engrossed in what they were doing that they couldn’t even hear her.
“Please stop… I beg of you… stop!..” she stuttered tears welling up.
He looked up, his eyes widened in shock. “Jenna this isn’t…”
“I didn’t expect you to be here,” her stepsister interrupted, her tone defiant with no remorse.
“Please leave us, we are not done yet, sister.” She added with a corked smile.
Jenna felt her heart rip out of her body for a second. What the f*ck was her snitch of a sister saying?
She turned to him hoping he would say something but instead, he had his arms wrapped around her body. She couldn’t believe what was happening even though she had always known Coty hated her; she didn’t believe she would betray her like this and jeopardize her marriage with Damien.
She let out the tears that threatened to fall from her eyes as she turned to him. “Damien tell me this is all a joke!”
Coty let out a loud chuckle. “Did you actually think he would get married to a selfish bitch like you?” “News flash, I’m having his baby!” She added with spite.
“That’s not true…” Jenna said, shaking her head in disbelief as she looked at him. “Tell me she is lying Damien, " she added with a cracked voice, clinging to a thread of hope, and her eyes filled with so many tears that were running down her cheeks freely.
Damien avoided her gaze with silence confirming her worst fears.
Jenna gave a nod in defeat and turned away. She could barely see clearly but struggled to maintain a normal pace because it felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
She made her way through the hallway down to her room trying to avoid as many people as possible.
She pushed the door open and the moment she closed it, she leaned against it.
Exhausted, she lay on her bed and shut her eyes trying to gasp for air when she heard a knock.
She panted hard as the knock caused her a shock.
Trying to catch her breath she watched as Damien walked in with hickeys on his face.
“Don’t you think I deserve an explanation?” She asked in a calm voice.
“I owe you no explanation as to how I choose to live my life,” he replied in a cold voice.
“It’s our wedding in one week Damien, but you choose to humiliate me this way by having an affair with my sister and even getting her pregnant, really!? She flared in anger.
“Our wedding, huh?” Damien snarled, “I never wanted any of this and there will be no us, no freaking wedding!” I do not love you Jenna and I reject this mate bond!
She held back the new tears that threatened to fall from her eyes as she watched him walk out on her.
Devastated Jenna took the bottle of champagne in her room gulping it directly from the bottle.
Digging her hands into her purse to find her phone with shaking hands, she dialed the number of the only person who could share her pains.
“Kaya!” Jenna screamed as she picked up after the third ring.
“Damien… he..he… he canceled the wedding,” she cried in a cracked voice.
“Son of a b*tch!” kaya cursed. “Where are you right now ?” She asked with worry laced in her voice.
“In my room,” Jenna replied with a sniff. “How do I face my dad ?” She added in tears.
“Come to my room, let’s talk about this,” Kaya said over the phone and the call ended.
Jenna staggered her way through as she headed for her best friend's room.
Getting on the elevator with her eyes dizzy, she mistakenly pressed the 9th-floor button instead of the 6th-floor.
She finally made it to room 405 and pulled the half-opened door.
Walking in, she gasped for breath as she stared at the figure in front of her.
It wasn’t Kaya but in front of her stood a well-built man whose back was turned. He was shirtless and had tattoos that covered up his back and arm.
“Who are you?” Came his masculine voice causing her breath to seize as she braced herself, shutting her eyes close and sucked in a heavy breath as she couldn’t resist her burning desire for this stranger.
“I…..I am…. I want you.” She stuttered as those words rolled off her tongue unexpectedly.
The final bell rang, and students spilled out into the parking lot. Jenna walked out between Celeste and Mina, her blazer draped casually over her arm, trying not to look too stiff.“Your car’s this way, right?” Celeste tugged her toward the line of sleek vehicles at the far end of the lot. The blue Lamborghini gleamed in the late sun, already waiting.Mina whistled low. “Every time I see this thing, I remember how disgustingly spoiled you are.”Jenna smirked faintly, though Iris whispered in her mind. Smile. Aria always laughed when Mina teased like this.“Disgustingly spoiled?” Jenna echoed. “Please. I call it taste.”Celeste burst into giggles, shoving Mina lightly. “Don’t be jealous.”“Jealous?” Mina scoffed as they slid into the back seat. “I’m just waiting for my turn. Next life, I’m making sure I’m born an Alpha’s daughter.”Lexa growled under her breath. They have no idea what kind of daughters Alphas can raise.Jenna hid her grimace behind a smile. “I’ll make sure to leave yo
The necklace glimmered again that morning, catching the first sweep of sunlight through the window. Jenna’s hand hovered over it as she dressed in Aria’s school uniform, fingers brushing the star-shaped charm that rested against her collarbone. It was cool, almost icy, like it carried a memory all its own.She whispered under her breath, “Why can’t I stop noticing this thing?”Because it matters, Iris said quietly. Her mother gave it to her. A gift of protection. It should keep her safe.Jenna’s lips twisted. “Safe? She still died, didn’t she?”Silence filled her mind for a beat before Iris sighed. Some protections fail when betrayal comes from the inside. Lexa’s growl rumbled low. Exactly. Never trust anyone who smiles too widely. They all want something.The necklace has more than just protection. You will find it out in subsequent times.Jenna slipped on the blazer, letting the necklace peek out. “What could that be tho? Jenna wondered.”—––By the time the Lamborghini rolled thro
“Aria, sweetheart!”The door swung open, and the man who was supposed to be her father rushed inside. His suit jacket was half undone, tie loosened, but the joy on his was unmeasured.He pulled her into his arms before she could even react. The hug was crushing, warm, real.“My daughter,” he whispered against her hair. “You’re finally back.”Jenna froze for a second, stiff in his hold, her eyes darting to the desk where the sealed letter still sat. She forced herself to blink, mask sliding into place, and slipped her arms carefully around him.“Papa,” she murmured, the word foreign on her tongue but smooth enough to pass.His grip tightened. “You don’t know what this means to me. To have you here, walking through that door like you belong. It’s everything I’ve ever wanted.”Her chest ached. For a moment, she let herself sink into the warmth of that embrace. In her old life, her father’s arms had never been like this, not protective, not proud. Only cold commands and colder punishments
“Ariaaa, you’re not listening.”Cassia’s nails brushed Jenna’s sleeve like she owned it as soon as Alpha Ryker left the class, her perfume cloyed. “Sit with me. We’ll catch up, just like old times.”Jenna’s lips curved, but it was no smile. “Cassia.” Her tone sliced silk-thin, cool. “Do me a favor and keep your voice down. It’s giving me a headache.”Cassia blinked, faltering, then forced a laugh. “You haven’t changed, always so sharp. I love it.”Celeste smirked at Mina over Jenna’s head. Mina muttered just loud enough, “Sharp, sure. More like she’s done with you.”Cassia’s smile wavered. Jenna leaned closer, lowering her voice. “Tell me, Cassia… did you forget to iron your skirt this morning, or did your mother stop buying you decent ones?”The words landed like daggers. Cassia stiffened, color creeping up her neck. In her past life, Cassia flaunted diamonds, pearls, and arrogance like weapons. But here, Jenna noticed the seams on her shirt, the scuffed shoes, the cheap handbag dang
The Lamborghini purred to a halt before the looming gates of Melton College. Students crowded the iron archway, laughter and chatter spilling into the morning air. When the convoy rolled in, the noise hushed. Every head turned. Jenna’s pulse hammered against her ribs. Her fingers twisted her skirt, but she forced her face into calm perfection, the mask of Aria. “Miss Aria,” the driver said again, glancing back. “We’ve arrived.” Her throat tightened. She nodded once, the motion crisp, regal like Iris whispered in her mind. The door swung open. She stepped out, the sun catching the gloss of her hair, the uniform hugging her figure like it had been stitched for her alone. A ripple went through the crowd. “Is that…?” “Alpha Desmond’s daughter.” “She’s even prettier than the rumors.” “God, look at the car…” Jenna swallowed hard, spine stiff. She’d been stared at before but always with suspicion, envy, and hatred. Here, the eyes were reverent. Hungry. Worshipful. Lex
A shrill alarm ripped through her skull.Jenna shot upright, clutching her head. “What the fuck!” she hissed, slamming her hand against the screaming device until silence fell. Her chest rose and fell in ragged bursts. She blinked around wildly.This wasn’t her room.Soft curtains of cream and gold draped over massive windows. A chandelier glittered above. The bedspread wasn’t hers, silk, not cotton. She’d never owned anything this fine.Then came the knock. Rap-rap-rap.“Miss Aria!” a voice sang from the other side. “You’ll be late for school!”Her heart jumped to her throat. Miss Aria?Jenna scrambled out of bed, bare feet brushing a thick carpet. She caught sight of a mirror across the room and froze.Her reflection wasn’t her.A young woman stared back at her. Wide hazel eyes, porcelain skin, a jawline sharp as glass, glossy dark hair tumoring down her shoulders. She looked no older than nineteen, dressed in a lacy nightgown.Jenna’s lips parted. “What the hell…”Her hands flew ov
