Chapter 3

Julia's pov.

“Julia.. it's not what you think, I promise.” Dylan had the guts to utter, stepping away from Casey who pulled the duvet over her body immediately.

She couldn't even look me in the eyes, at least she was ashamed of herself.

“Not what I think?” I let out a chuckle, my heart aching as a result of the scene in front of me. “What exactly are you trying to deny? The fact that you're both naked or that you're making love right in front of me?” I questioned, tears stinging my eyes.

“Let me explain.” He bit his lip, trying to come closer but I was too disgusted to let him come any closer to me.

“How long has this been going on?” I glared at them both, my breathing getting heavier, like a heavy weight had been placed on my shoulders.

“Baby, let me explain..”

“Casey! How long has this been going on!?” I fired and she flinched, briefly lifting her eyes to look at me. She let out a sigh before muttering under her breath.

“Six months.”

I couldn't withstand the shock, my feet almost failed me and I almost hit the floor but I was able to maintain my balance. My eyes welled up with tears, and I struggled to hold them back.

Six months? Dylan and I have been dating for only a year, how is it possible that they've been doing this for six whole months!?

“Six months? Why Dylan?” I questioned, my voice becoming shaky. I could no longer hide the fact that I was completely defeated.

“I have needs, Julia.”

His response shocked me to the core. I couldn't believe that such words would ever come out of his mouth.

“Needs? Dylan.. I have spent the past year keeping myself for you! Waiting to officially become yours! And this is what you do?” Tears blurred my vision, I couldn't help but let them flow down my cheeks, my lips quivering in hurt.

“Baby, I'm really sorry.. I was going to stop, I swear I was.”

His words were like arrows, repeatedly hitting my chest in the same spot.

“I don't want to hear another word!”

“This is your fault!” He retorted. “You didn't let me touch you, I had no choice.”

“Don't you dare try to make excuses for your shortcomings!” I glared at him and then turned to Casey who was still trying to hide her face away from me. She had barely spoken as she had the duvet wrapped around her tightly.

“And you.. you were supposed to be my best friend..” I wiped my tears, but more came flowing down.

“Why did you do this to me?”

“I'm sorry Julia.. I'm really sorry. I didn't want to but..”

“I don't want to hear anything from either of you. Stay away from me Dylan, don't ever show your face and you Casey,” I sniffed. “I never want to see you around me again.”

I turned and stormed off. Dylan followed, calling my name and trying to plead but I gave him no attention and simply walked out of the apartment.

I ran to the elevator, holding back my tears until I was in. I couldn't help it anymore, I cried my eyes out, shattered by the betrayal of the two people I loved and trusted the most.

One year, one whole year! I thought I had found the best man in the world. He was the most loving and caring man, I thought he loved me to bits. I could take an oath that he would never hurt me, but I have been proven wrong.

Alex warned me, he told me to be careful, he said Dylan was a Casanova while growing up but I didn't listen to anything he had to say. I told him that I knew Dylan, he would never hurt me, but I have been betrayed in the worst possible way!

I never expected to find my own best friend in bed with my man, but I've always been unlucky, I shouldn't be surprised.

The elevator came to a halt, forcing me to wipe my tears away. I stepped out and walked into the streets, heading to the bus stop to wait for the bus home.

The longer I stood there, waiting for the bus, the heavier my legs grew. My head became lighter and I felt consciousness slowly sipping away from me.

I couldn't withstand the level of betrayal that my own best friend and supposed fiance had thrown in my direction, my poor heart was giving out.

I could no longer feel my own heart, my chest clenched in pain as I tried to hold on a little longer. How could I possibly say this to my family? I had bragged so much about Dylan, what would they think now?

“Are you okay?” A random lady asked, walking up to me.

“Yes, I'm fine.” I nodded, feigning a smile and trying to look as normal as possible.

“Are you sure? I can get you to a hospital, you look like you're about to pass out.” She insisted. I wanted her to leave me alone to wallow in my sorrow alone.

“I told you, I'm okay. You don't have to worry.” I told her, making sure I sounded stern enough to tell her off.

“Whatever, you should have counted yourself lucky that I spoke to a worthless omega like you.” She scoffed and walked away in a hurry.

The pain in my heart only increased, her words striking me like a hot dagger. Without Dylan in my life, I feel like my dreams of lifting my family's status have been dashed against the wall.

Things will only get worse if everyone finds out that Dylan and I are no longer together.

“Oh moon goddess… Please save me.” I cried.

A car zoomed past me, the wind following it, causing me to stagger backwards, almost falling. I was slowly losing sight of where I was, my head aching badly.

The car made a turn, coming back and stopping right in front of me. I fought to stay conscious, watching the tall figure step out of the passenger seat.

“Alpha Kane..” I muttered, his demeanor completely unpredictable at that moment.

“What's wrong with you?” He questioned, but before I could answer him, I fell forwards, right onto his chest. I felt his hands slowly wrap around me, a strange feeling washing over me.

Before I could decipher the meaning of what I was feeling, everything went dark.
