Cheating mate

My hair stood on end, a shiver raced down my spine, and a lump came to my throat. It was him, my mate my body trembled as I crumpled the wedding dress in my hand.

My feet were wobbly, as their distinct moans came out louder. I stared at the wedding dress, this was what I wanted to see when I got home. The happiness that I felt while getting my dress from the seamstress all faded out.

My eyes went over to the door that was partly opened.

“…argh.” She tried not to moan, but her grunts were loud enough as the bed squeaked with each movement. Her legs wrapped around his waist and beads of perspiration rippled down his bare back.

“Ssh.” He whispered behind her ears with a deep thrust, her eyes were shut and she was moaning slowly in ecstasy, not with any other man but my mate.

“Tomorrow is your mating ceremony...” She said in between moans. Her eyes opened for a brief moment and she stared at his face.

“So what?” He scoffed with slightly furrowed brows.

She threw her head over at the pillow with tears in her eyes and her breath was getting a bit shaky.

“Deeper!” She moaned, her fingers digging into his back.

“I’m too scared, what if she comes back?” She bit her lower lips, and let out a throaty moan.

“Stella, she won’t be back until evening…” he sounded displeased at her.

“Besides I want you, I want your body, I want to fuck you harder, baby.” He grunts and hastened his thrust.

My wolf growled, and my hands clenched my chest, my legs gave in, and I fell to the ground. I blinked the tears tugging at the back of my eyes away, how could Jason do this to me?

‘Breath, cassy, breathed.’ Jeema, my wolf said to me, even when we both couldn’t take the pains of seeing our mate cheat on us.

In our palace and my room, he was shamelessly sleeping with my step-sister, Stella.

How could he?

“I can’t…” The tears streamed down my cheek when I could not hold them back anymore, I felt so heartbroken.

I was going to show Stella my dress because she was going to follow me on my mating ceremony, we had both picked our dresses together.

But why? Why would Jason hurt me this way with my sister?

I wiped the tears off and pushed the door open.

“What on earth are you doing?” My voice quivered. Clothes sprawled on the floor, about five, and a pair of black shoes. Jason jerked back away from her, stunned to find me in the room, and hurried to take up his black pants and slide them over his legs.

"Cassandra,” Stella mumbled and quickly covered her naked body with the duvet.

He drew the pants up to his waist and stretched out a hand to touch me.

He was unbelievable.

“Jason!” I didn’t know what to think of this, and no words could form in my mouth at the moment.

“…it’s not what you think.” He showed up in front of me trying to defend himself.

I drew in a sharp breath and said nothing.

“I... This is a misunderstanding!” He pulled me into an embrace before a tear could fall from my eyes.

“Misunderstanding?” My numb arm pushed him away, he staggered away from me.

“This is a misunderstanding, what did you take me for?” I hit his arm with the purse in my hands and hurled the wedding dress at his face.

I turned to look at my stepsister, who was looking at me with red eyes and an aggrieved face.

“I can explain…” She sniffed and held my gaze, her eyes were glistening with tears.

“Isn’t this how your mother came into my father’s life? Seduced my father and broke his mate's heart, isn’t it the same thing you’re doing to me? So what do you want to explain, how much of a bitch you are! Sleeping with other people’s mates is your thing!” I yelled at her, Lana was vexed, she was holding back not ripping out her face and pulling out her hair.

 “No! Cassandra, I am not that kind of a person!” She shouted with tears streaming down her face.

“I can’t believe you think so low of me.”

“What should I think of you? A hooker?” I chuckled bitterly with my hands folded.

“It was all her plan, she seduced me.” Jason points a finger at her. Stella gasped at him.

“Listen to me, I love you. I truly do love you. Can’t you see I’m the victim here!” He stressed out and took my hands in his.

How ridiculous!

“I’m done with this,” I shook my head and pushed him away.

The two of them are competing for the role of the victim, what about me? The spectator of the show? That's enough!

“Listen, we're done. I, Cassandra Miller, reject you as my mate. Accept my rejection, Jason.”

“No!” He yelled abruptly, and his hands tightened on mine.

“I won’t accept it!” He growled at me, I tried to wriggle free from his hold. I saw the hurt in his eyes when I said those words, his wolf was pained.

“Let go of me!” I screamed at him.

“I won’t let you reject me! I’m your mate and I’ll still be your mate!” I forcefully pulled his hands off, freeing myself from his grips.

I could hear Lana’s cries within me, this was for us. I would not let him treat me this way, I was the first daughter of the alpha, and I refused to be treated this way.

“I will not accept your rejection!” He growled and stormed out of the room.

I turned and was about to go after him when my father and stepmother came in.

“Cassandra!” My father, Miller Edmund, the alpha of the Blue Moon Pack.

“You can not reject Jason now, the mating ceremony is tomorrow!” That was the first thing he said, he must have heard what we had been saying.

“Dad!” I half yelled.

He must be kidding!

“The mating ceremony is the most important.” He began.

“He’s still your mate and everyone knows about your relationship together, you should think of what would happen to your father if you choose to reject him, the humiliation you would cause me, some of the guests are already here for the ceremony and what would I say to them?”

His hands were on my shoulders, trying to speak some sense into me. I stared at those hands, I chewed on my lower lips. I could not believe he was saying this to me.

"What about me?! I've been betrayed!" I shouted.

“She's your sister! Do you still want the world to judge the whole family?” His looks were stern.

“Sister?” I scoffed.

“Are you still my family?” I spat out. Father’s face hardened with anger.

“Don't be too selfish” His voice was firm.

“I’m being selfish?” I protested, that was what he had to say to me.

“This is for me!” I shouted.

“… dear.” My stepmother, Bianca called. Her voice made me tilt my neck to the other side and give her a slanted look. She held her daughter close to her bosom and pled.

“Please.” She looked between me and my father.

“I’m so sorry for what happened. It’s all my fault. I should have done better.” She sobs quietly.

“Shut up!” I muttered.

“You will not talk to your mother like that and she’s the Luna! Show some respect.” Father chimed in and stepped in front.

“The Luna is dead and that’s my mother and there’s no other!” I refused to accept her, the woman who turned my father against me and made me feel like an outcast in my own home.

“I’m just trying to make this work for all of us.” She came in between Father and I. Tears began to stream out of her eyes.

Fake.

“What are you trying to make work? Push me out of this family completely, isn’t that what you’re trying so hard to do.”

“Cassandra!” Father growled furiously at me.

“If you don't show up for the mating ceremony tomorrow, I'll help you” He added calmly as if he knew what he’s done.

I knew my father, and what he called help meant he would lock me up and tie me up to the ceremony. I had to nod my head.

“Okay, I'll go to the mating ceremony. But I'm going out now. I have a doctor's appointment for a premarital physical.” My voice croaked and I stared at them, that was when I realized I had nobody at my side.

"You'd better come back early," my father said calmly

"Got it, father..."
