I Hate Him

With each thrust Orion made into the girl, I felt my chest tighten more and more. The two idiots were so lost in their sinful moment that they didn't even notice my presence.

The disgusting smell of their pheromones filled the air, only adding to my sorrows. But soon, that sorrow morphed into rage.

"Orion!" I screamed as I waltzed toward them.

The two of them jolted just then and tried adjusting their clothing, but it was too late for them anyway.

I grabbed the broken leg of a wooden table and charged at Orion and the bitch he was screwing.

Meanwhile, my incompetent mate waved his hand in front of his face. "A–Aria, let me explain. I... I didn't –"

"Save it for your mother, you sick bastard!" I screeched before raising the stick. With a swift swing, I broke the table leg on his butt, causing him to yelp in pain.

But I ignored that before turning my gaze to the girl. She wore a short dress and had blonde hair that looked like it was natural.

Everyone knew her.

"Cassandra!" I gritted my teeth as I contemplated all the best ways I could break her teeth.

However, Orion managed to regain himself and still dared to speak. "Aria, I can explain. Just calm down, let's talk."

I turned my gaze to him and snarled. "There's nothing to talk about! I hate you. I regret the day I first met you. I regret being your mate!"

I ignored the shocked look on his face as I rushed out of there. I ran up the stairs only to meet Elizabeth looking into the stairwell with a worried expression.

"What is it? Do we need to call a nurse?" She asked sarcastically until she noticed my mood.

When I got upstairs, I quickly shut the door behind me and locked it from the outside. The two of them could fuck themselves as long as they want now.

"Aria?" Elizabeth called out with a confused tone. "You're scaring me. What happened?"

I couldn't hold it in anymore. My eyes stung as I struggled to control my breathing. It seemed I was on the verge of a panic attack.

"I... I can't breathe." I muttered softly right before a tear dropped down my eye. I broke into sobs right as Elizabeth rushed to hold me by the back.

"Woah, Aria, I'm here. I'm here, you're fine." She tried reassuring me as she guided me into a nearby empty classroom.

She shut the door behind us as I still tried breathing. Damn it, why couldn't I breathe properly?

After helping me to sit on a chair, Elizabeth tapped my back lightly before asking. "Alright, now tell me. What happened down there?"

I swallowed as images of what I saw flashed through my mind. As for my Alpha wolf, she was hurting as much as me and howled dejectedly inside my head. Orion was OUR mate and he'd betrayed us.

"H–He was cheating on me." I blurted in response to Elizabeth's question. Soon, I began chuckling when I remembered how I'd imagined a future with him.

I'd imagined the two of us finishing college, getting married, and having babies while I watched him accomplish his dreams of being the Alpha of his pack.

But now? Gosh, I was such a fool.

Meanwhile, Elizabeth gasped in shock. "Cheating? With... With who?" She asked hesitantly.

However, I wasn't in the mood to answer any questions right now and just closed my eyes in silence. It seemed Elizabeth understood my mood as she kept quiet too. She proceeded to sit beside me and wrapped her arms around my shoulder.

"Everything is going to be alright, don't worry." She whispered before giving me a peck on the cheek.

I sniffled as I let myself rest under her embrace.

Was everything really going to be okay? Or were those just pretty words people say to others to get them out of their bad moods?

Whatever. I needed a break.

Later that day when it was time to go home, I walked.

Elizabeth's mother had come to pick her up, and they unfortunately weren't going in the same direction that I lived in.

I couldn't go with Orion either since that would be way too awkward after the whole... Cheating on me thing.

Ugh, I hate him, I hate him!

I used the back of my hand to wipe off the tears threatening to burst out of my eyes like a dam that had been broken.

My chest still felt heavy, like there was a weight tied to my heart. I tried my best to ignore a few curious stares as I walked by.

I could get really self-conscious in crowded places. And my wolf hearing proved to be a burden in such instances, allowing me to pick up the words of people directed at me.

"Who's that? I haven't seen her around here." A male voice asked his friend.

The friend in question whistled before replying. "Why, that's the alleged daughter of business mogul Michael Silver Moon."

"Daughter? Are you blind or something? That girl is whiter than snow on Christmas morning." Another man chuckled amusingly, causing me to subconsciously rub my palms.

"Damn, she's one fine piece of candy, isn't she?"

"Yeah, I'll definitely tap that."

"You guys, she's a college student. Are you trying to get yourselves arrested?"

I couldn't take it anymore and covered my ears with both my hands. I closed my eyes to shut out the voices, but they still flooded my mind like a swarm of bees.

"Shut up," I muttered with a pleading voice but the voices still kept coming in.

"Shut up, shut up, shut up." For a moment, I could hear Orion's voice from the wave of voices flooding my ears.

Yup, I was losing it.

Suddenly, a car horn blared behind me, forcing me to open my eyes and realize I'd walked into the road. I swerved my head just in time to see that there was a car driving towards me and for a second, I thought this was it. This was how I died.

But then my instincts kicked in and I jumped out of the way, landing with a grunt on the sidewalk.

Meanwhile, the speeding car came to a halt in front of me before the driver's door opened.

I got up and dusted my body before glaring at the car, readying myself to give the guy a piece of my mind.

However, my heart went into my throat when I saw who it was.

"Well, well, well."
