Chapter 1

**Audrey's POV**

“Jacob Huxley!” I cried out my mate’s name as hot tears began rolling down my face, burning my cheeks. 

How could he possibly do this to me? 

To make matters worse, even after yelling out his name, he still didn’t stop what he was doing. Instead I was made to watch with blurry eyes as He continued slamming himself into the body of a lady who was supposedly my ‘best friend.’ 

“Elora!” I yelled at her, hoping that maybe she would at least be different, maybe she would do better, she was my best friend for fucks sake!

“Oh, shut up!” She snarled back; her eyes looked angry, she was obviously irritated by me and it shocked me.

Jacob slowly got off her, pulled on his pants and turned to look at me. My heart immediately sank at the expression in his loath filled eyes, for he looked at me like I was some sort of shit, some burden He has been forced to carry.

Fresh tears sprang into my eyes when I thought of the effort I had put into choosing my outfit this morning simply because I wanted to look good for him. To look good for this no good cheating piece of shit who was cheating on me with my best friend!

I averted my gaze to Elora, who in turn shot me a very cold glare that sent chills to my spine. Hurt was an understatement for what I felt right now. 

The worst part of it all was the annoying smug looks they had on their faces which gave me the impression that they had anticipated this.

“What are you doing here?” Jacob asked slowly, his voice was cold and void of any emotions.

“I want an explanation of what is happening here!” I snapped, standing up to my full height- which didn’t amount to much-  as I spoke. “Tell me how long this has been happening under my nose.” I snarled, brushing off the tears that seeped out of my eyes angrily.

I couldn’t afford to turn into a cry baby right in front of them; I couldn’t give them that satisfaction..

Elora wrapped her hands around his neck and smirked wickedly at me; “You sure you really want to know? Don’t you think the realization would hurt you more than you already are right now, best friend?” She asked, emphasizing on the word 'best friend'.

“What could possibly hurt me more than this, Elora? Absolutely nothing!.” I seethed, desperately holding onto myself to stop from bursting into tears.

“You thought wrong, sweetheart.” She chuckled.

Jacob smiled at her, but then immediately returned to his steely expression as soon as we locked gaze again. 

“How long has this been on?” I asked again, came this time.

“For a few months.” Jacob answered, glaring at me, and they laughed.

My heart suddenly felt like it had been ripped off my chest and stomped on until it shattered into a thousand pieces. I couldn’t breathe, couldn’t bring myself to.  

I couldn’t believe that the two people I had trusted the most in my life could betray me like this! Another fresh set of tears clouded my sight and when I wiped it off, I saw them kissing sloppily. 

A kind of  anger that I had never felt before scorched through me like a wildfire, consuming me whole until all I could think about was ripping their necks apart.

“It is obvious you have no shame! You two backstabbed me, yet you have the guts to continue in my presence. You don't have a conscience at all, and you'll pay for it.” I swore angrily.

“What am I paying for, exactly? Should I pay because you have nothing I want in a woman? You're too skinny and aren't girly enough, aside from the fact that you’re an Alpha’s daughter, you have nothing else.” He spat at me, making my heart break a little further. 

I opened my mouth to speak, but words failed me. He held Elora's hand and they both stood, looking at me, looking as though I repelled them. 

“But look at Elora, she has everything…” He said after a while, pausing to turn her naked body around as he spoke. “She is worthy to be called a woman. Oh, and she isn't an Omega.” 

His words bit into my skin, numbing me for a millisecond. Never have I ever thought that he would use my status against me that it hurt like a bitch when he uttered those words.

“So, you feel nothing for me because I am an omega? That doesn't change the fact that I am still the Alpha's daughter.” I said, wiping away my tears.

“An Omega is the lowest ranked wolf. You, being the Alpha's daughter, change nothing. You're nothing and will always be nothing.” He spat.

The tears I fought so hard to hold in, came rolling down my face in torrents.

Elora giggled sluttily, casting a disdainful look my way. “You heard him right, baby girl. He doesn't rate you enough to want to be with you! You're nothing but a worthless Omega that would one day, be a slave!” She seethed with a proud grin on her face.

“And oh, did you think that your position as an Alpha’s daughter would make you always get what you want?” She laughed hysterically.

“Elora?” I called in disbelief, “really, you?”

“Sorry, but people change,” she replied, abs then turning to look at Jacob, she added; “Tell this… thing to get the fucking hell out of here.”

I gasped in shock. The hell?

“I will, after I’ve done the needful.” I saw his lips curve upwards and immediately, I paused my lips, already knowing what was coming at me. “I, Jacob Huxley, reject you, Audrey Raven, as my mate. From today henceforth, I cut off any bond I have with you.”

I gasped when suddenly I felt a sharp pain pierce through my heart at his declaration, breaking it more than it already was. I saw his eyes darken momentarily before he looked away from me and turned to Elora, who began kissing him intensely.

She pulled out from the kiss and grinned. When our eyes locked, she frowned; “The needful has been done, princess. Do our eyes a favor by getting out of here.” She thundered.

I couldn't move. It was like my legs were glued to the floor and had gone numb. This was someone I called a sister; someone I shared my darkest secrets with. 

I still couldn’t believe that the same person could break my heart this way by sleeping with my mate. 

The most painful part of it all is the realization that this isn’t the first time. In fact, they’ve been doing it for a while, but still acted like nothing was going on in my presence.

“You heard her. Get the hell out of here!” Jacob snapped, jolting me out of my train of thoughts.

Slowly, I turned and walked out of the room, leaving my legs to lead me to wherever. I could feel my wolf curled up in sadness; she was hurt too. 

The feeling of rejection clawed at my chest, numbing me. I still couldn’t believe it. Never in my life did I think I would be betrayed this way. 

This even wasn't how I thought mating and mate bonds worked. Everything I thought about it was wrong; it wasn't something that would make someone happy and live a fulfilled life; it only brought pain, heartbreak and hurt. It brought about everything that I was feeling right now.

I got to a pond and sat down. Looking around, I could tell there was no one around the vicinity, and so I wailed loudly, unafraid of being caught. 

I wanted something that would take my mind off the betrayal I had just witnessed. I couldn’t help but think about what he had said about me being an omega, and couldn’t help but feel another pang of hurt course through my veins.    

I am an Omega doesn't make me any less of a wolf. The Alpha is my father and I deserved respect too. 

Not knowing where the sudden courage came from, I stood and wiped my face. I would face the challenges head on. I would prove to them that omegas were not as worthless as they thought...
