Chapter 0003

I felt as if the ground had slipped beneath my feet. It would have been better if I had buried myself before seeing this.

"So-Sophia?"

Bruce looked stunned when he saw me. What would he think? He would keep cheating on me, and I could not get to know about it?

"How could you?" I took a step back. I felt heavy in my chest.

The person I most trusted betrayed me!

I had always wished to spend the rest of my life with him. I thought I was a lucky girl to have him, but what did I get in return?

Cheating?

"Sophia, whatever you are thinking, nothing is like that, baby."

Bruce attempted to approach me. But I stopped him by lifting my hand. I shook my head. I felt like passing out.

I turned my head toward Luisa. Her head was down. How could she have done that? Wasn't she my best friend?

"And you?" I muttered to her.

She looked at me and shook her head. She forgot she was wrapped in a blanket. Her blanket had fallen from her chest.

A few marks on her naked body became visible in front of my eyes.

When I saw that, I almost fell to the floor.

I was speechless. How could they play dirty with me?

"Sophia, I am sorry. Please forgive me, baby."

Bruce came close and held my hand. I felt disgusted when he touched me.

I yanked my hand out of his grasp and slapped him.

"How long?" I asked.

He was silent. Why? Why was he so quiet right now? It had been two years since we had been in a relationship. He promised me to be a loyal man. He vowed to me that he would mark me and make me his mate.

A few years ago, I went to the pack house with my brother when he wasn't yet the Gamma. That time, I met Bruce. He began to show up at my school to meet me. We began dating a few months later. He had already rejected his mate at that time. He told me that he had rejected his mate because she had cheated on him.

But what exactly was he doing now?

"I ASKED HOW LONG???" I yelled at him.

He remained silent, not even making eye contact.

I went to Luisa. "You, tell me. How long have you been doing this behind my back with him?"

I wanted to hear for myself how long they had made a fool out of me.

"O-One year." She replied as she turned away from me.

I bit my lips, almost bleeding. I could not take more stabs in my heart.

"I didn't want to do that, Sophia. I only love you." I heard Bruce.

Did he still have the courage to speak?

I scoffed at him. After what he did, he had the audacity to say that?

"Why did you cheat on me?"

"You never let me touch you. I am an Alpha. I have some desires that I need to fulfill. So I had to go another route.”

"I-I was waiting to turn eighteen. I wanted to become your mate and wife. Before doing anything, I wanted to give our relationship a name. I have never considered another man. I was saving myself just for you. But couldn't you wait for me? Not even another year? You started cheating on me after only one year of our relationship?”

I tightened my fists to stop crying. I took a deep breath.

"Everything is over. The relationship between us is over." I told Bruce.

I looked at Luisa, whom I used to call my best friend. "Don't come in front of me again."

She did not try to justify herself, as if she had nothing to say.

I turned around to leave. I ran downstairs while crying.

"SOPHIA"

Bruce rushed down the stairs and grabbed my arm.

"Don't touch me.”

"How dare you say that you broke up with me? You can't go anyway. No one will accept you. Everyone knows that you are my girlfriend. You are a weak Omega. No one will make you his wife but a plaything. You should be relieved that I am still in love with you. So just forget everything and pretend you haven't seen anything.”

I stared at him. How could a man be so shameless? I wanted to slap myself for falling for him. His words made me even more despised.

I pushed him hard.

"You don't have to think about me. Go play with your Luisa like you have been doing all these times."

Saying that, I walked out of the house.

My legs felt shaky. I had no idea where to go. What should I do now? What would I do with this betrayal in my life?

How would I explain Bruce to my mother and brother? I promised to introduce him to them soon. My brother appeared to be very knowledgeable about people. He had warned me about Bruce before, but I never paid attention to his words.

How stupid I was!

I made my way to the road. I didn't have the strength to wait for a cab. My thoughts were jumbled.

Tomorrow was my eighteenth birthday. Fate really gave me a great present!

I thought they were preparing something for my birthday, but little did I know they had been cheating on me for a long time.

Why did all of this happen to me? I was a simple girl who was happy with her small family. Why did he come and break me so badly?

He called me a weak omega! He thought about me like this all the time?

I walked like a crazy woman to the road. I had no idea where I was or how long I had been walking.

My steps became slower as I began to feel the sun, and its intensity nearly drove me insane. I was sweating, crying, and depressed.

I could hear horns behind me.

"Hey, girl! Go die somewhere else. Get out of our path. Our Alpha is getting late."

I was so occupied in my messed-up mind that I could not hear the driver clearly.

When I turned around, I was astounded to see a long line of black cars behind me.

A bulky man emerged from a car that was in the middle of the other cars. Then he opened the back door for someone.

A man in a black suit came out and made his way towards me.

Because of the sunlight and my glossy eyes, I could not see his face.

He took a slow stride forward and came to a halt in front of me. His presence blocked the sunlight from falling on my face.

I blinked to get a better look at him.

It was Bryan Morrison!

How did I end up meeting him twice on the same day?

I was unable to think of what to call him now.

Big brother-in-law? Bryan? Alpha?

He had a frown on his face as he stared at me. He might be wondering why I was in the middle of the road.

"I-I..."

I wanted to tell him about what his brother had done to me, but before I could, I felt unsteady.

Darkness began to descend around me. I felt myself slamming into his hard chest.

His strong arms encircled my waist almost immediately. When he touched me, I felt a strange sensation that I had never felt before.

Before I could comprehend the unfamiliar feeling,

I passed out in his arms.
