Betrayal

Amira

As I stepped into the room my face burned in embarrassment.

I stared at the two figures in front of me, he bared his fangs and sank them deep into the nape of her neck as she let out a wail of ecstasy.

This was a mating ritual between my best friend Juliana, and my boyfriend Nathaniel.

He kissed her neck downward, and a moan escaped her lips.

She pushed him slightly.

"Wait, I want you to say it out loud again, me or her?"

At that moment all I wanted to do was walk away, because I deep down I was just a coward, I couldn't bring myself to confront them, but something in me acted impulsively, and I found myself pushing the door further open with a loud bang.

"Let me save you the trouble, you can have him he's just a man."

Though my words came out strong and unaffected, my heart was tearing apart inside as I watched my best friend in the arms of my boyfriend.

It was not like I had never expected this sort of thing to happen, I was wolfless in a pack full of werewolves. Along the line, I knew he would find a mate, but I had been naive, I wanted him so desperately for myself but yet I couldn't fill up the position that he needed me to fill.

I was hesitant with my love for him, I withheld some things from him, for reasons I wasn't quite sure of.

Yes, I couldn't say that I did not expect something like this but what I never expected was this level of betrayal.

For how long have they been banging each other? for how long have they been hiding this from me, making me look like a fool?

I had been so naive and wishful, now I was paying the price.

"Amira" Nathaniel murmured on hearing my voice but he didn't move from the spot.

A chuckle escaped from Juliana's lips as she fixed her gaze on me.

"What the f*ck are you talking about bitch? you make it sound like you're the one who dumped him," She chuckled slightly before changing her face holding a serious expression as she gazed at me, pure irritation and disdain evident on her face and her voice.

"Get down your high horse bitch! you didn't dump him, he dumped you."

I felt a piercing pain slash through my heart when these words left Juliana's lips.

The Juliana gazing at me now with hatred and rage did not seem like the Juliana I used to know.

The Juliana I knew was my best friend who cared for me, who always looked out for me, a girl that wouldn't think twice before putting her life on the line for me as I would do the same for her, or was it all an act?

That is the Juliana I know but the gaze of the Juliana in front of me was not one of love it was rather the opposite.

"Tell her baby," She whispered into his ear seductively as she slide a finger down Nate's chest."... tell this crazy bitch, that you chose me over her."

She shifted her gaze to me when she muttered the last parts.

At that moment it all settled in, and everything finally became clear.

Moments ago the tears refused to gather in my eyes because I did not accept the sight in front of me.Everything was just so shocking at first, I could feel the pain, but I just couldn't cry, now that things have settled, the tears seemed to be gathering in the area around my eyes.

The pain in my heart was so great that it was threatening to destroy me from the inside.

I turned around rushing out of the room as I didn't want them to see me cry, I didn't want them to know that their betrayal affected me this much.

This was the only way I could protest myself, by running away.

I didn't want to shout, slap or fight anyone, I didn't want to ask for answers at the moment but deep down I knew I needed those answers.

They had succeeded at getting me where it hurts the most, It was not just my love they had betrayed, they had betrayed my trust, my heart which I had willingly given away, in hopes that they would respect and care for it, taking it as something delicate because that was what I had done with theirs.

But they didn't, they took my heart that I had willingly given to them and they broke it, scattering it into a thousand pieces, they didn't think twice before they tore it to shreds, ripping it apart and displaying it out in the open.

Now it all dawned on me, all the looks the stares, everyone knew, it just me who was left in the dark.

"Nate!"

"Nate!"

"Nate!"

I heard Juliana's voice calling out to Nake, but I couldn't care less what was going on between them all I wanted to do was get out of the place.

I had to be strong, I didn't want to show my feelings but that didn't make matters bearable.

"Amira,'

" Amira, wait"

I heard Nate calling loudly from behind me as I guess he was probably chasing after me.

I didn't listen to him but continued at my pace.

"Amira!" He called again but this time he grabbed my hand and pulled, preventing me from continuing on my strides.

No! No! No!

I didn't want him to see me in pain, I didn't want them to gain the satisfaction of seeing that they got to me.

No, I wouldn't let that happen

"Amira, "His voice was softer now, he continued to hold my wrist and I kept my face to the side as I tried to suck in the tears.

" Hear me out."

"Immediately these words left his lips I yanked my hand away from him, turning my head to the side and meeting his.

" Touch me again and you'll regret it." I snarled.

His eyes were wide at the underlying warning in my voice. Soon they returned to normal but he didn't move away to create some distance between us.

I felt the pain, within me and it was so great that I wanted to explode at him.

"This was not how I intended you to find out." He looks at me with a strong expression then sighs.

Ha, those were the eyes he away looked at with, so much disregard, the only thing I could ever feel from him was purely lust, how could I have been so blind.

"...." I huffed with displeasure. " Justify ...."I let out in a whisper

At that moment I couldn't help but wonder how long they had been together.

"She... your mate right? Is that it?" I stated, holding his gaze.

"..."

" Why? Why didn't you end things off with me, that's the noble thing to do,that's enough to show that you valued me, so why? why did you continue putting false hope in me?,"

"I wanted to give us a chance"

I could only shake my head in disapproval at his utterance.

"You wanted to give us a chance?" I questioned as I gazed at him with newfound disgust."God! Who are you?"

The tears were accumulating again in my eyes.

I opened my mouth to speak but I couldn't form the words.

Who was this person in front of me?

I couldn't help but wonder if this was the Nate I used to know.

"I don't know you." I finally muttered as gazed at him with teary eyes.

"You might not believe me but that's the truth."

"There's no truth in that, you wanted to have it all, you wanted to play us both at the same time, right? "I huffed slightly." And for a moment there it was working out for you, wasn't it?"

"Don't you think that's a tard exaggerated?" He muttered as he stared at me with an indifferent face like I was the one who had played him for a fool.

"A tard exaggerated?"

"...."

"You played me for a fool, how satisfied does that make you feel? did it boost that ego of yours, hun?"

"You know very well this is not about my ego Mira."

"Don't call me that"

"You can quit it the self-righteous act Amira, you know better than me whose fault this all is."He cuts in, his voice coming out almost frustrated.

"What?"

Did he just imply that I was the one at fault?

"F*ck, Amira, I have given everything to you, hell I was f*cking ready to choose you, I was ready to give us a chance ," He strode towards me before standing right in front of me." You claimed to love me, you insist that you've given your whole to me but you and i know that's a lie, Juliana came to me hot and wet, willing to submit, you could never compare to her not now not ever,"

"Ha.." I let out a bitter laugh."So this is all about sex? you did this because I refused to give myself to you?"

I couldn't even believe this was coming from the Nate I thought I knew.

"You know fully well that this is not just about sex, it's about you Amira, you're holding back, not just your body but also a part of your heart, and you know it, you paint me as the villain but we both know who's really at fault, you caused this Amira."

I moved my gaze away from him as I tried to gather my thought.

"So that's it, that's your means of justification, f*ck you Nathaniel Claymore, I can't deal with this" I spat out with teary eyes."Run along to your mate, we have nothing to discuss you both are disgusting,"

"Careful omega" He snarled his hand suddenly moving to my throat almost strangling me"That's no way to talk to your Beta,"

My eyes widened for a slit second at the shock of being threatened by the man I once loved but I quickly regained my composture, if he could cheat on me what's so surprising about threatening me.

It was at this moment I realized I never knew him.

"Yo-u can ne-ver be my Be-ta," I let out in a mocking laugh and that seemed to anger him even more.

"Maybe if you weren't so cold and opened your legs to me you would have been in your friend's position Omega,"
