Betrayed

Chapter 1

"I will go for this," Nola pointed at the expensive men's wristwatch in the transparent glass, and the attendant got it for her.

"You have a perfect taste, ma'am. You are getting it for your boyfriend?" The young lady asked Nola, but she shook her head with a smile on her face.

"Not my boyfriend, but my husband," Nola blushed at the sound of that, excited that after so many years, she could finally call someone hers.

Finally being mated to the man she has been in love with all these years was the best thing that has ever happened to Nola, and the few days they have spent together as married couples were the best days of her life.

Her life has since been full of miseries and pain after the death of her parents, the Alpha and Luna of Silver Moon Pack, whom she lost to a mysterious ailment years ago, and she has since been living each day of her life, yearning for nothing, but the happiness she could never have. She had everything, the fortune left for her by her late parents, the throne of Silver Moon Pack, the respect from the Pack members she earned effortlessly, and the love from her people, but over the years, Nola still felt empty. All those were not enough to fill up the space left in her heart by her late parents. Her life was even more messed up when she couldn't find her mate at the age of twenty-one. She thought she was going to live a miserable life for as long as she breathes, but that only lasted until she met the man that has changed her life over the last three years that they'd been together, and has now become the Alpha of Silver Moon Pack, while she was now the Luna. Although they were not mates, but Alpha Miguel was someone that loved her regardless, and she could only say that she felt the same way for him.

"Wait here while I pack it up for you, ma'am," The attendant said after she finished making the payment, and she soon left the jewelry store after she was done with everything.

She smiled brightly as she drove back home, the imagination of how excited Miguel would be when she gifts him the wristwatch later wouldn't stop playing in her head.

Her smile was even brighter when she drove into the penthouse and found his car parked in the parking lot.

She held on tightly to the small bag as she strode elegantly toward the entrance door, maintaining that cheerful smile and hoping to find him in the living room, probably watching TV, or maybe working. However, she didn't find him in the living room, so she headed to the staircase, taking it upstairs, and soon, she was walking down the hallway in a bid to go to their room where she assumed he would be.

Her smile soon faded and she stopped walking when she heard strange noises coming from one of the rooms in the hallway.

"What's that?" She mumbled, and pulled a confused look when she even recalled that it was only her and Miguel in the house.

She proceeded to their bedroom, regardless, and pushed the door open to surprise him, she was rather surprised at the horrible and disgusting sight that welcomed her. Miguel was naked on the bed, fucking a lady underneath as their groans and moans echoed in the room. Her jaw dropped at the sight, and for the next thirty seconds, she stood there staring at them with no words coming from her. They were so engrossed in the shit they were doing that they couldn't even notice her presence.

"Wh...what is this?" She finally managed to open her mouth, but the words that formed in them were inaudible that even she couldn't hear herself. Her heart froze in her chest, and slowly, she clenched her fingers tightly.

"What is this? Miguel!" She roared at the top of her voice, and he jerked off whoever the lady was, and now that she could see the lady, her heart was even more broken as the realization dawned on her that this was their maid back in the packhouse.

"What is this, Miguel?" Her voice quivered, and she swallowed nothing. She felt her heart pounding against her chest.

"You came home earlier than expected. Why didn't you call?" She couldn't believe her ears that he didn't even show an iota of remorse for what he just did. He was just caught cheating on her on their matrimonial bed, and that was the only thing he could ask her?

"Why, Miguel? Wh...why?" She wanted to yell at him and tell him how broken she was inside, but she couldn't find any energy left in her. They were drained in split seconds.

"Fuck! You told me you weren't going to be back until evening. Why the heck are you here?"

"You just cheated on me..."

"And so what? Are you blaming me for this? It's your fault that you barged in on us. Shouldn't you apologize for being rude?" He wasn't even ashamed of standing from the bed while still naked. She watched with a broken heart as he bent down and picked up his brief, sliding into it. Her eyes slowly diverted to the maid who was proudly on the bed like nothing happened, and she couldn't help the scoff that tore through her throat.

"Miguel!" Nola yelled at the top of her voice, the tears she'd been fighting back for minutes now, finally found their way down her cheeks. She watched her world crumble down before her very eyes. The man she gave her all and sacrificed everything for had just cheated on her and he wasn't remorseful for it.

"It's Alpha Miguel..."

"Don't you even dare tell me that shit? What is the meaning of this? Bringing in another woman to our matrimonial home, and on our bed. What are you thinking? Wait! A maid at that?" She couldn't hold back her anger anymore, so she burst.

"Watch how you speak to me, Nola. I am your Alpha..."

"And I was the one that made you that, have you forgotten? How could you do this to me?" Tears streamed down her cheeks as she stared at him with resentment and disgust written in her eyes. This was the same man that promised her heaven and earth, the same man that has proven to her million times how much he was in love with her. Were all those jokes to him? Did he ever love her?

"Don't get on my nerves, Nola. Don't!" He threatened her.

"You said you loved me. You said you would never cheat on me..."

"And you believe it? Love? No... I never did, Nola. You were the one that made yourself believe that. You were the one that made that all up in your head and believed it. How could I be in love with a dumb weird girl?" He scoffed, standing up to his feet, and her jaw dropped.

"You wanted love, and I wanted money and power. I threw a bait, and you caught it. Am I to be blamed for that?" He shrugged, the corner of his lips tucked up in a smirk.

"You should blame yourself for not being good enough. You were expecting me to be with someone that couldn't even find her mate at twenty-one? What do you think of me? That I'm a fool..."

"Miguel!"

"Sorry, but all I ever wanted was to be an Alpha and have a strong woman by my side as my Luna. What the fuck were you expecting me to do with someone like you?" She staggered back and huffed unbelievably. She couldn't believe that she was just betrayed by someone that has claimed to love her all these years. She gave him everything. Her wealth, her throne, her trust, heart, and body, the only thing she could not give him was her soul, and she would give it to him if she could. But that man had just betrayed her in the hardest way and still rubbed it on her face. How unfair.

"You... Get out, this minute, and as you are going out, I want you to get your things and leave the packhouse immediately," She finally said to the maid.

"She is my mistress, Nola. You can't ask her to leave," Miguel chipped in.

"How dare you!" She was forced to send a hot slap to his cheek, but that turned out to be a mistake she shouldn't have made, because that was going to be the end of her life as Miguel grabbed her neck and slammed her hard against the wall.

"How dare you raise your hand at me!" He growled in the most domineering voice, his eyes burning in rage.

"You're hurting me, Miguel. Let go of me," she struggled to free herself, but it was all futile because his hand only went tighter around her neck until she couldn't fight back anymore.

Tears dropped down the corner of her cheeks as she stared at him with her half-closed eyes, seeing the desperation in his eyes, and his hand getting tighter around her neck, she knew he really meant to kill her. Being betrayed by a loved one was bad, but getting killed by that same person was the worse thing that no one deserved to ever experience.

Slowly, her eyes went closed, carrying the image of Miguel grinning evilly at her in her head, her heartbeat slowed down until she couldn't feel it anymore, and in her last moment, she wished to be given a chance again. She wished she could turn back the hands of time, but those felt like wishes that would never come true...
