Betrayed And Pregnant.

ODEYA.

I didn't believe what dad had said, I didn't want to believe it. Is this the reason Katya hadn't come to see me in the last three weeks after Debby’s party? I asked myself as I rummage through my clothes.

After finding a sunflower short dress, I put it on and then brush my hair into a bun. Dad was still in my room, hence he looked at me as I walked out of my closet.

“Where are you going?” He asked, standing up.

“Don’t worry, Dad. I'll be back soon,” I told him before grabbing my car key off the table. Entering my car, and driving off to her house, my mind became occupied with thoughts.

I had told Katya about Herald and me. She knows how much I adored him and how I am waiting for him to come back to me hence I am wondering why and how she became his new Queen. That should be me.

Soon, I reached the foyer of her house and then I got out of my car. I saw another car parked next to where I parked mine but I didn't mind and just went in.

Getting into her house, it reeked of cigarettes and alcohol like usual. However, I still managed to go to her room.

To my surprise, I saw Katya sitting on the bed with lots of designer bags lined on her small bed. Katya doesn't have money for all these, I thought looking at them.

“Odeya, you are here,” I heard her voice as I was lost staring at the designer products.

“Yes.” I looked at her with a crooked smile.

“Will you be my bridesmaid?” She asked, a small smile playing on her face.

“What happened? You didn't come to see me after Debby’s party and now I heard you would be coronated as the lastest Queen of Alpha Herald. What happened?” I asked, my eyes fixated on her.

Katya smiled and then moved close to me.

“Uhm, how should I tell you this?” She asked, a sly expression on her face. I had never seen my best friend look at me like that and it terrified me. My heart beat faster and faster because I didn't know what was going to come out of her mouth.

“Remember that night you didn't come to the forest clearing because of your parent's anniversary, I went...” She paused and looked at me before continuing,

“and he came.”

“Who came?” I asked immediately, confused. No, I wasn't confused, I was in denial. It could never be him, right?

“Herald, he came back for that little girl. At first, I was terrified, he was the vicious Alpha everyone talked about. However, when he came to me and wrapped his hands around my waist, I knew he could never be brutal to that little girl that stole his heart.” She raised her head and looked at me with a dry smile.

“I love him, Odeya. Leave him for me. You know, he didn't remember your name, he could only remember the last syllable - ya. Funny enough both our names ends with - Ya. Leave him to me, Odeya and I won't hurt you.” She smiled at me.

I looked at my best friend with widened eyes. My entire body froze and shook as I looked at her. It was the same girl I had spent more than half of my life with that betrayed me like this? They say betrayal hurts but no one talked about the veto that's comes with it. You would wonder where you got it wrong. You would try to make excuse for that person that hurt you because a part of you is still yet to believe that this person would do such thing.

I and Katya had eaten in the same plate, bath together and slept together, how can I believe this betrayal.

“You are lying?” I asked, smiling but tears fell out my eyes. I was breaking on the inside.

I was feeling dizziness in different waves. Her eyes looking straight at me with a crooked smile was adding to the pain, my best friend used to look at me with such loving smile.

“You have everything, you think you can have Herald as well? Remember when I was in your closet? I took the special sword he gave you because he asked if I kept it all these time.” She smiled again breaking me finally.

The last strength I had was smashed by her indifference attitude. I broke to the floor unable to hold myself again, I saw fractions of her as my eyes closed gently.

Katya, you are my best friend and I love you so much. How can I take this betrayal? How?

The next moment I opened my eyes I found that I was in the hospital. Beside me sat my mom, and dad, her head rested against my dad’s chest while he wrapped his hands around her back, gently caressing her there. It showed that he was awake.

“Dad,” I called gently, sitting up.

Almost immediately, Dad opened his eyes. I could see the panic in his eyes but he was careful enough not to wake Mom.

“Baby,” he called and I gently smiled although my inside was burning in an inferno.

And just then, before Daddy could say anything else, my mom flung her eyes open. She moved closer to me and held my hand while tears grew in her eyes.

I looked at my dad to know what had happened but he also had a sad expression on his face.

What happened, I wanted to know.

“What should we do now, Odeya? You are our only daughter, we can't watch you die.” Mom cried scaring me more.

“Who said I was going to die? Who wants to kill me?!” I asked, looking between the both of them hoping they’d tell me what was going on. My heart whacked faster in my ribcage, it felt like I was going to explode because of the suspense.

Is it Katya again? What did she do this time?!
