Chapter 2

Alana’s POV.

I stared at my best friend and a sigh escaped my mouth as I realized it wasn’t a stranger who touched me earlier.

“Hi Aurora.” I sniffled, not bothering to wipe the tear from my face.

“I heard what happened, I walked out to get something and I came back and everyone was talking about it.” She frowned, reaching out for my hand.

My body was numb, but I didn’t pull away when she took my hand in hers, instead staring at our joined hands and the way they looked like an old friendship bracelet.

She pulled me up, “I’m sorry that happened,” She  whispered. “Are you okay though?” 

I shrugged, “I mean, I feel numb, but I guess I’ll be okay. It hurts really bad though.”

“You should try and talk to him later.” She suggested, a weird smile appeared on her  face. A smile I had never seen before.

I paused, and stared at her for a while, confused and wondering if I imagined the gleeful smile I saw , “I will do that… I guess…”

She dropped me at my room and I walked in, still feeling hurt over what happened minutes ago.

I yelped when I fell on the bed, Nathan filled my thoughts.

*******

I couldn’t sleep. 

I tossed, turned, and thought of Nathan and what he did to me.

I needed to speak to him, he needed to know I’m carrying his child, uncertainty made me waver for some minutes.

I walked to the direction of his house, nervous yet determined to talk to him. 

I paused when I walked in, surprised to see the front door open, he didn’t leave his door open easily and the guards were always around, but they were nowhere to be found.

I stepped inside the house, my heart pounding in my chest at every turn I took. The only thing giving me hope was knowing he was the only one who stayed here. 

I could hear voices coming from inside of his bedroom, it made me wonder who he invited to his room.

I opened the door,slightly nervous, I gasped when I saw Aurora kissing Nathan.

They both turned around looking embarrassed.

Nathan’s eyes narrowed as he stared at me, “Why are you in my room?” He barked.

“I thought I made it clear when I announced in front of everyone that I want nothing to do with you anymore.” He added.

“I’m sorry…I…” I stuttered and stumbled back a little.

“I should uh, go,” Aurora mumbled, she looked around awkwardly, a slight smirk on her  face. “I’ll leave you two alone.” Aurora winked and rushed off, closing the door behind herself.

Nathan and I stood there frozen until Aurora left, then we just stared at each other. 

The pain I suddenly felt made me  want to cry, but I bit my lip, trying to hold the tears back.

“What is this? Why are you suddenly...?” I  paused trying to think of a word to put how I felt right now.

Nathan scoffed, “We’re no longer mates, you need to leave my room, you’re not invited here without my permission.”

“I wanted to wait for you to talk to him, but I can’t do that.” Aurora suddenly burst into the room, her cheeks red.

I felt even more hurt, my heart ached more than ever as I looked down at the ground unable to look Nathan in the eyes, confused by everything that has happened.

“Why are you back?!” I exclaimed, frustrated that Aurora decided to interrupt me.  

My voice raised to a higher octave.

“Because I don’t know why you can’t just move past it.” She said angrily, throwing her hands around.

“What?” I  blinked, confused at what she meant by that, my heart rate slowed a little and my breathing returned to normal. 

“You just kissed the man you consoled me about hours ago.” I watched her closely for any sort of reaction.

She rolled her eyes before speaking again, “He told me that it doesn’t matter anymore. He said you’re not mates anymore and he kissed me first.” Aurora sighed in frustration.

I faced him waiting for him to deny what she just said.

I watched him carefully, waiting to see if anything changed in his expression. He didn’t blink once.

“Get out.” He roared, making me tremble in fear. 

There was silence for a long while until I blurted out the first words on my mind, "I still don’t understand why you rejected me and just kissed my ex best friend.” I said, ignoring how my voice cracked a little.

“I don’t care about what you’re thinking, as your Alpha I gave you an order, you need to leave my room right now ." He snapped.

I walked out, my head pounding as tears ran down my face, I stumbled onto my own feet and headed straight outside of the house, I stopped at the entrance. 

I touched my stomach, wondering if I’ll ever get the chance to tell him about my pregnancy.

“I knew you’ll be here.” Aurora’s voice broke through my thoughts making me look behind me.

She stood next to me, “I had to kiss him one more time before rushing here.”

I stared at her, still in shock about everything that has happened so far.

“Thanks for the information, I don’t need it.” I tried to force a light laugh as I walked past her.

“I think you need it, the alpha rejected you in front of everyone and he wants me now.” She bragged immediately and grabbed my hands.

I stared at her, still shocked by everything happening, I couldn’t believe she would do this and I didn’t know why she did.

“I can’t talk to you right now.” I muttered weakly.

My whole body trembled as I made my way home slowly, my mind was spinning. What was actually going on with me? 

In a span of hours, Nathan rejected me and my ex best friend is kissing and laying claims to someone who was once my mate.

My wolf paced inside me, moaning in pain, I understood her agony, I felt the same pain she felt.
