Chapter 2 - Playing games.

Alice

A gasp left my mouth, as I felt a searing pain shoot throughout my body. I fell to my knees clutching my chest, and watched as the door swung open, feeling as though my heart was shattered into a million pieces. My mate… Was enjoying himself… with my sister. They finally noticed me, as I was struggling to breathe from the pain, and I knew what I had to do.

“Alice?! Baby It’s not what it looks like!” He tried to reason his way out of this. I was too shattered to care about anything they had to say.

“Save it…” I stated before turning to leave, hearing the sickening sound of his grunt as he pulled himself out of my sister, and I felt sick to my stomach.

“Baby, hold on, we can talk about this. Please it’s not what it looks like, if I can just explain…?” He was trying desperately to get himself out of this situation, when I had already caught him red-handed. I turned, and ran to our room, as that was the only thing I could do, as tears fell down my cheeks, blurring my vision.

The agony of the mate bond breaking, along with my heart, made it almost impossible to even stand. I made it to the room before slamming it shut and locking it from the inside. I also pushed the dresser in front of it, just to ensure he wasn’t going to get in.

I cried for what felt like hours, and that is when I heard Tristan knocking on the door. “Baby please… It was a mistake, you know I love you, and only you.” His lies felt like poison coursing through my veins, but I refused to answer him.

“It meant nothing, come on baby, please open the door…” He pleaded, and it made me even more sick that he used the same name for me as he did with my sister.

I refused to answer him, hearing him mutter to himself, “F*ck” before he left. I was beyond broken, and I refused to leave this room, because if I did, I might just have to run away.

I sobbed, until I eventually passed out from exhaustion, the darkness consuming my vision. I didn’t sleep well, as my mind was plagued by visions of what had occurred tonight.

I woke up to the sound of someone knocking on the door, and when I looked outside through the curtains, I could see the sun had already risen, and it seemed to be evening. Which meant I missed the early morning meeting, but I couldn't care less.

I sat up, rubbing my eyes, when I heard the knock again. Deciding to swallow my pride, I stood up, feeling like a train had hit me, and I moved the dresser out of the way, also opening the door.

“What the f*ck do you want?! I already saw…” I looked up and saw that it wasn’t Tristan, but the Alpha, and also his father.

“My apologies, Alpha, I was just…” I wanted to explain, but he cut me off.

“Why weren’t you at the meeting today?” He asked, seeming confused.

“…And what happened last night?” He stepped closer, and I instinctively backed off. A pained expression registered across his face, and I was confused as to why. It was probably just because he felt sorry for me given the state I was in.

“Your b@stard of a son, slept with my wh*re of a sister, on the night of our anniversary. That is what happened! Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have rejecting to do.” I stated, trying to push past him, when he stopped me, looking me in the eyes, and I couldn’t help but feel butterflies swarming my stomach.

I was lost for a moment, before I finally pushed past him barging towards my sister’s room. I rushed towards the door, finding her curled up in the bed with my ex-mate, and I could feel Zayn’s presence behind me.

I slammed the door open, making sure to be as loud as possible, and waking them up.

“I, Alice Kent, hereby reject you, Tristan Trevino, as my mate, and renounce you as my fated mate.” I stated, not being able to control my anger anymore.

“Alice? Can we please talk? I…” He wanted to continue talking, but I immediately cut him off.

“Save it! Accept the rejection, or I will kill you, and this b!tch myself!” I screamed, making sure the entire pack could hear me.

“Fine! I, Tristan Trevino, accept your rejection, Alice Kent, and I also renounce you as my future mate.” As he said it, an unbearable pain shot through both our bodies, and I could see him grabbing his stomach in agony. I stood back up, as I’ve felt worse, but it looks like he will now feel all the pain he had caused me.

He deserves it. I hope he is happy with the sk@nk he chose over me. I turned to leave, hearing Tristan call out my name, but I just ignored him. No use in trying to fix something that was broken from the start.

I walked towards the kitchen, and that is when I hatched a plan to get my revenge. Since his father was single as well, and he likes keeping it in the family, I decided that I would make it my mission to seduce, and sleep with his father.

I mean Zayn was a little bit older, but even I had to admit he was one sexy man, even the sight of him made my knees weak. I heard someone enter the kitchen, as I was busy pouring my coffee. I turned around, and came face to face with Zayn, and I could feel a blush creeping up my cheeks.

“Are you okay? I know something like that couldn’t be easy to do.” He stated, and I gave him a smile.

“I’m okay now that you’re here…” I stated, trailing off as I stepped closer, and ran my fingertips along his broad muscly chest.

His breath hitched in his throat as I looked up at him innocently. “Is something wrong, Alpha?” I put emphasis on his title, and I could see it affected him. I thought I was in the clear as I turned to leave, but that is when I felt Zayn grip my wrist, and spin me around.

“You don’t want to play this game Alice, trust me when I tell you this.” He stated, his lips close to mine, before he pulled away, leaving me in the kitchen, both in awe and confusion.
