chapter 2

Julia's pov.

I rose to my feet in shock, my eyes widened at the sight of the man in front of me. I couldn't believe that I was actually seeing him for the first time in my life.. the infamous Alpha Kane!

He was the most gorgeous man I have ever laid my eyes on. His sharp jaw and bright hazel eyes were only a few of the features that made me swoon. I looked away quickly, his gaze giving me goosebumps.

Only once in my life have I gotten a glimpse of him, and it was at Dylan's birthday party. I wasn't able to see him in all his glory as I was now, my legs were literally shaking.

“Alpha Kane.” I bowed my head, sweat trickling down my face. I was nervous, his presence was as intimidating as they really said. I couldn't even look up at him, not even for a second.

“I'm sorry, I thought this was Dylan's room.” I quickly apologized, hoping that he spares me because I have heard that he spares no one.

“Dylan?” A feminine voice echoed behind him. I looked up briefly, catching a glimpse of the lady. She was beautiful, extremely beautiful, with a body to die for. I wondered who she was, I haven't heard of the Alpha having a mate.

“You're Dylan's girlfriend?” She asked again, her face squeezing in disgust. I didn't understand why she was staring at me like that, did I really look so bad?

“Please, forgive me. I had no idea that this was your room.” I apologized again, waiting to be asked to leave but Alpha Kane did not say a word.

“Why would Dylan condescend so low as to date you? A lowly Omega?” She scoffed again, my cheeks flushed, completely embarrassed by her harsh words.

“You don't deserve to set foot into the pack house, let alone the Alpha's room.” She continued. “Do you even realize the gravity of your offense? You look so cheap!”

“Enough!” The Alpha raised his voice and I shuddered again, lowering my head in fear.

Where the hell is Dylan!? If he was here, this wouldn't be happening! I'm moved to tears because of this woman's vile words.

“You.. get out.” He ordered and I quickly dashed out of the room, holding my chest like it was going to fall off. I have never been under so much pressure, never in my life.

I fought back my tears as I pranced through the halls, making my way down the staircase and finally walking towards the front door.

“Julia.” A familiar voice called, sweet and delicate. I halted and turned around only to meet the queen mother, the Alpha's mother.

“Queen mother.” I bowed.

“My child, you look flustered, is everything okay?” She lovingly stroked my cheek and I sighed.

“Everything is well, queen mother.” I refused to admit the fact that I had just been insulted by Alpha Kane and whoever that woman is.

“I only came to see Dylan but I can't find him anywhere.”

“Oh.. I sent him out on an errand, he went to get things ready for Kane's engagement. Did he not call you?”

Alpha Kane is getting engaged? That's definitely something I never expected to hear. Did he already find his mate?

“The Alpha is getting engaged?”

“Yes, to Selena, the daughter of the Alpha of Crescent moon pack.” She smiled.

“Oh..” I scoffed internally. Why did he choose to be with such a vile woman? Instead, why did the moon goddess decide to give us such a person as Luna? She's everything but a good Luna.

“I hope there's no problem.”

“Not at all, queen mother. But I must run along, I'll come back to see Dylan some other time.” I bowed.

“Alright dear, I'll make sure to let him know that you came as soon as he gets home.” She assured me and gave me a little pat on my back before I ran off again.

While sitting in the taxi, I couldn't get my mind off what Selena said to me. I know I am an Omega, my family would have been slaves if my brother didn't work for the gamma. Also, my relationship with Dylan is the only other thing that will end the mistreatment we get in this pack.

I decided to go to Casey's house instead. Casey is my best friend, we have been friends since childhood and she's the only person I can confide in about most things.

I haven't heard from her all morning either so I decided to go stay with her, at least until Dylan calls back. He must be busy with the queen mother's task and that's why he hasn't called back yet.

“Casey?” I called, letting myself into her apartment. It was messy, and her clothes were all over the living room. Why would she even leave her apartment open?

“Such a silly girl, she left her clothes lying around.” I chuckled, picking them up and placing them on the couch before leaving in the direction of her room.

“Cas..” I paused when I heard what sounded like muffled screams and moans coming from her room. I moved closer, and it became louder and louder.

Her room's door was slightly open, leaving just enough space for me to see what was going on inside. I peeked inside, my heart skipping a beat when I found a male figure ramming into her from behind while she screamed, her naked body glistening with sweat.

I made to leave, feeling embarrassed, but I halted again in horror, when she called a name that I was too familiar with.

“Oh.. Dylan! More! More!”

At first, I found it hard to believe, it couldn't possibly be the same Dylan. My best friend would never do that to me, she is like my sister.. and Dylan? He loves me way too much to cheat on me, he would never do that to me.

“Fuck..” I heard him groan, my soul almost left my body. That is his voice! Is this a dream?

I burst into the room, and behold, there he was, my boyfriend, making love to my best friend.

My chest tightened, my breath clenching.

“Dylan!!”
