Chapter 3: The Revelation and Meeting

Alessia

I stood up from the cold and grassy floor of the forest with tears in the corner of my eyes.

How could he do this to me? I asked myself with a sad look on my face. I lay on the floor, staring at the bright moon in the sky.

Why did my life have to be this miserable? I cursed myself, trying to force back the tears that kept rolling from my eyes.

'I can live without them.' I muttered to myself as I tried to stop thinking about his announcement, which broke my heart into pieces.

I was sad that this had to happen. I was happy earlier that I was going to become his Luna official until he neglected me and chose my twin sister, Amelia.

Why do I have to pass through this heartbreak, moon goddess? I muttered with a sigh as I stared at the bright moon in the sky.

I wondered why I didn't listen to my father. He warned me severally to stay away from Xavier before he died, but the fake love he showered on me blinded me. I trusted Xavier so much that I had to disagree with my father for the first time.

"I'm sorry that I didn't listen to you, Dad," I hiccupped.

I jerked up from the floor as a thought crossed my mind.

What if he didn't mean what he said? I asked myself, even though it was almost impossible.

What's wrong with you? I ruffled my hair with a frustrated look on my face.

I was finding it hard to get over him. I thought it was going to be easy to move on and stop crying, but it wasn't. My heart kept craving for him. And my mind kept thinking about him.

I didn't know what to do anymore.

I needed to see him alone. Maybe he was going to tell me the reason he ditched me for my sister despite the support and love that I'd showered on him.

I stood up from the grassy floor, dusted my clothes with my palm, and cleaned the tears on my face.

Feeling determined to see him, I walked out of the dark forest, heading to his enormous chamber.

***

Getting to his chambers, I glared at the guards, who bowed their heads and stepped aside, granting access to his chamber. I walked closer to the door and reached out to the knob.

My hand shook uncontrollably on the knob of the door as I listened to the loud moan coming from his room. Their voices and sounds were familiar.

That couldn't be Xavier and Amelia, right?

I kicked the door open with a loud bang. I walked into the room with a sharp look on my face. I gasped out in shock, and my body trembled as I stared at Xavier and Amelia naked on the bed, smooching each other.

"Xavier,” I tried to yell, but it came out as a whisper. My voice felt cracked and low.

"What! How did you get here?”

I sneered at Xavier, who pulled his d**k from her p**y.

"Oh! You're here. But you came at the wrong time. As you can see, we're enjoying each other before you came, but it's a good thing that you came, anyway."

"If it wasn't that I don't like to share my man, I would have asked you to hop in for a threesome," she said and laughed mockingly.

My heart clenched in pain at the statement of my sister Amelia.

"How can you do this with my twin sister, Xavier?" I asked with my voice filled with disgust and anger.

"How could you also, Amelia? Why do you've to be a disgrace to the Grey's family?" Her eyes flared at my statement, but I didn't care.

"I can't believe that you can stoop so low to have sex with your twin sister's boyfriend. I hate you," I scowled at my twin sister, who cuddled Xavier.

"Your boyfriend? Who is your boyfriend?" she asked.

"Yes, he was my boyfriend until you snatched him from me," I said, and she burst into laughter.

Why was she laughing?

"It's such a shame that as intelligent as you are, you cannot figure out that Xavier never loved you. He was just playing with you, and I was aware of it. Why wouldn't I be aware? Of course, I'm the mastermind behind it."

What?! I gasped out in shock with tears threatening to pour down from my eyes. She planned with Xavier to play with my heart and feelings.

"How could you?" That was the only thing I could ask because I had yet to get away from the shock.

"He was my boyfriend until Father asked you to bring a suitor home who would be capable of the throne so we came up with a plan which is to use you as a tool."

"And you can't blame me. You've always gotten what you wanted because you're intelligent, right? I also deserve to be happy," she yelled, and I flinched back in fear.

"You were treated like a princess by our parents, but I was treated like an outcast because of your so-called intelligence."

My heart burned with excruciating pain. I snapped my head toward Xavier's direction.

"Xavier, is she telling the truth?" I asked, and he scoffed loudly.

"Yes, she's right. You're just a tool to help us become the Alpha and Luna which we're…"

"But how could you do this to me?" I asked in a whisper with the corner of my eyes filled with tears.

"Yes, I'm grateful for what you've done for me because you made me the Alpha. But you're no longer needed. You're useless,"

"And I don't need you in my life anymore. I have cut every tie I had with you, so from today henceforth, you're a stranger to me."

"I hate you," I growled out angrily as I dashed at them crazily. That discovery was enough to make me run mad.

From playing with my feelings to using me as a puppet to help them fulfill their dream.

"Guards!" Amelia yelled, and almost immediately, five guards rushed into the room.

"Take her away," he said emotionlessly.

"You're going to pay for this, Xavier."

"I'm going to make sure you suffer for this. I'll make sure I return to take what's rightfully mine. My comeback would be brutal!" I ignored the pain that burned my throat and roared.

I pushed the guards into the chamber and ran out of his suite with tears rolling down from my eyes.

"Go after her and bring her back."

I felt an icy shiver run down my spine as I heard the fiery trail of the guards behind me.

***

I slumped hard on the floor, breathing heavily after running for the past two hours. I stared at my knees, which were bleeding. I tore a part of my clothes, whined, and tied it around the wound.

I wiped the beads of sweat that formed on my forehead with my thumb as I laid my head on the tree behind me.

I've been running for a while with Xavier's royal guard trailing behind me. I was glad that they'd given up. I needed to rest so that I could continue my journey even though I had nowhere in mind to go.

I snapped out of my thoughts and looked up as I heard the loud sound of paws hitting the floor. I jerked up from the floor in an instant as my nose picked up the scent of the guards.

I tried to leap away since I couldn't run. I stopped midway, and my heart skipped in fear as a guard stood before me with his arms crossed under his broad chest.

I turned around and gulped down into nothing as my gaze landed on the guards, who surrounded me with a sinister smirk on their faces.

"Why don't we have sex with her, boss? She'd overstress us," one of them said, and my heart skipped in fear.

"I think you're right. The Alpha wouldn't know anyway," the one who seemed to be their leader said in a menacing and dominant tone.

"Hold and pin her to the floor," he ordered when I tried to stand and run away.

"Help!" I screamed out as two guards pinned me to the floor, clasping my arms.

"Scream as you like. No one is going to hear you,” he smirked. I threw my head backward as he kissed me roughly and forcefully.

All I could do was cry as I watched him tear my clothes and skirt since I couldn't fight against the three guards' firm grip. Tears rolled down from my eyes.

I looked up as I heard a cold and dominant voice.

"But I did,"

"Leave my mate. Now!"

What!?
