His betrayal

•FREYA•

I didn’t know when I let out a triggering scream from the pain I had felt etched on my skin from Alaric’s touch, the burning sensation was far too much for me to be quiet, I held on to my nape as I bent down from agony.

“ what the hell, Freya!” he called jerking back, he looked surprised yet shocked, at my outburst, I was too, but it felt so painful when he touched it, the tattoo on my nape felt more like a curse on me every passing day

“ for over six fucking months I can’t even touch you because you flinch so much when I touch your nape, can you tell me what the hell is wrong with you? You say you want me yet you haven’t given yourself to me? You do not want to give me your virginity? And now you always flinch at me!”

he roared to me, his features scrunched up in annoyance, but how was I to explain to him that I had a tattoo I was imprinted with?

And it harmed me when strangers touched it? He would think I am more absurd than the coven made me out to be no doubt.

“I’m sorry Alaric, I-its just not your fault I can’t-“I tried explaining

“ you know what? Forget it! By the moon! I hope no one heard that scream!” He called walking back and away from me, he had become distant in the past few days that had passed and I just had to screw it up by screaming bloody murder when he touched me.

He went from telling me sweet nothings and secrets in the dark that he would mate me when it was a time when he was ready, and I believed it and I waited, but he had drifted far too much, I tried to push the looming thought that something was wrong.

He had left me under the shade of the tree, the sun had already set and night had dawned upon us, I was about to go home when I heard the Bell from the coven hall call us, it seemed it was time to start the full moon celebration tonight.

I willed myself to forget what had just happened, and With my slowly shattering heart from Alaric’s harsh words I walked up to the house, it was already packed with vampires.

My eyes surfed around the crowd hoping to catch a glimpse of him in the crowd, if he was in the crowd and making a note to apologize to him after the meeting, hoping he would forgive me, as I planned to give myself full to him tonight, that he would be my first. But he wasn’t in the crowd.

Carissa, my stepmother too had looked around before she turned back to me, “ where is my daughter?”

“ I don’t know”

“ then go look for Claudia,” she orders to me her face twisting in annoyance that her daughter was not there.

.

.

I didn’t say much, I left the hall, going back to the house to check for her, I heard thumping sounds and the sound of shouting as I climbed up the stairs, I could have never imagined the scene before me.

“ ahh yes! give it to me!” Claudia shouted, it would have been evasive if I opened her room to watch

But there she was in the hallway of the house, her back against the wall, her gown on the floor, her body naked, unashamed by who would have walked in.

Her legs lifted off the ground as she straddled the man that had his cock pounding into her Claudia shouted and moaned in ecstasy, her hands circling this neck

“ yes Alaric, put your cock into me, give me more fuck me till I can’t walk!” she called as her breasts jumped from how hard he fucked her against the wall

I stood there paralyzed as I watched him in her, it was Alaric, my Alaric, having sex with my step-sister!

Claudia's eyes met mine first, her lips curled in a Devilish smile, she wanted me to see them, see him, doing this with her.

“ do you love me Alaric? Do you love me more than Freya?” She whispered into his ear as I stood

“ of course I do, she means nothing to me, fuck you feel so good”

“ hmm prove it to me, tell her yourself” she called as Alaric stood stiff, as he had just noticed my presence all along.

He had dropped the naked Claudia to the ground, using his body to cover her as he faced me, his face paled as he saw me, “ Freya” he whispered

I could only hear a ringing sound in my head as I watched them both,

Alaric gave me one last look before turning back to Claudia whose eyes were on me giving me a well knowing smirk with so much intent behind it.

The room felt too large for me, I ran down the stairs and out of the house and right into the forest “Freya! come back! Freya!” I heard my name being called by Alaric, I didn’t dare turn, not after what I witnessed, not after he just had sex with Claudia.

That was where I let my tears spill, remembering all the sweet lies he had told me, Alaric had told me he loved me, I should have known, I should have known the real reason he didn’t tell anyone about us was that he never wanted me, the reason he always only met me in secret, why would he want me? when could get someone with powers and who was the coven leader’s heir.

But Claudia, she knew, she knew it, the secret glances and soft small smiles I had passed along to him who we thought no one was looking, she knew it all, she knew what he meant to me, she always had a dark motive against me ever since I came to this coven, the sound of her laugh haunted anytime I closed my eyes I could only see the betrayal.

I know I couldn’t even explain myself to the coven as Alaric could deny anything I would say, that would brand me a jealous witch who hated the Coven leader’s heir and a liar.

I didn’t know how long I ran into the darkness, running off the covens land but I continued, passing through large trees my tears coating my vision but I continued on and into the darkness.

Even when I almost tripped from a branch and wounded myself I still got up cleaned my now dusty clothes and continued, cleaning my tear-streaked face.

I ran and ran without much of a second thought, not knowing I had crossed into the land of the feral breed and our enemies that we have been at war with for centuries, that I have been warned about….

the werewolves.

And I had just trespassed onto the lands of the wolves without knowing.
