Chapter 1
One
Valentina
I walked softly through the hallways of the mansion, where the leaders of the pack lived while holding a ridiculously small cake in my hands.
How did I, the outsider of the pack, end up in this situation? Jonah, my boyfriend was coming of age today. He was among the four greatest wolves in power, he being the beta to the triplet Alphas of the North-Star pack.
Today was finally the day he would get to meet his wolf, and while most met their mates on this day, I was certain he wasn’t going to meet his.
Why? Because we were a match made in heaven, and his wolf wouldn’t recognize me until my coming of age day, which could be any day from now.
And if things don’t work the way I hoped, Jonah promised to reject his mate for me.
I loved him with all my heart, he was my key to happiness, and when he finally accepts me as his mate, I would finally be seen as an equal to all who looked down on me, especially Flora, my worst enemy and my sister in my foster family.
And also to the triplets, who have tormented me all their lives.
The beat of the drums from the music downstairs strummed in my heart as I walked carefully. All the doors were locked, and he wasn’t downstairs with the rest of our school mates, who came to party with him.
He had no idea I would make it because my foster mother never gives me the privilege, but I finished all my chores early and snuck out. I would probably get whipped for this, but he’s worth it-
My train of thought was cut off by the sounds echoing from down the hallway.
I had not checked those rooms yet, and the muffled screams coming from down there were an indication that someone was there.
Maybe it’s Jonah, taking a break from this party.
I made my way down the hallway, my stolen dress riding up my thighs. I stole it from Flora just to look good for Jonah. She always got the nice things while I got what she didn’t want anymore.
But not today. Kids in school always mocked me for not being pretty enough to date the beta, but all that mattered was making Jonah see it, and today, when he finally claims me as his and takes my virginity, he would see that-
I was cut off again, but this time, I could hear the screams clearly.
“Oh, yes! Like that! Fuck me baby!” an oddly familiar voice screamed.
Ew, thank goddess I didn’t barge in there, just two horny wolves in heat. I turned on my feet. Jonah probably was downstairs with the rest.
But I was proven wrong as another familiar voice came from that room, causing me to stop in my steps.
“You like that baby? I like how you take my cock so good.”
My heart dropped to my feet as the voice echoed in my ears.
That voice- No. it can’t be.
Jonah is downstairs. No, that person just happened to sound like Jonah. He would never-
“Yes Jonah! I love the way you fuck me.” The first voice I heard moaned loudly, and I staggered in my standing.
No. my mind decided to play tricks on me. Jonah would never cheat on me.
Without thinking, I turned to the direction of the room, my heart pounding loudly and tears stinging my eyes.
I cannot believe, I need to see for myself. I pushed the door open, not caring about the consequences.
No. my eyes must also be playing tricks on me.
My breath caught in my throat as my eyes landed on the two figures on the bed, joined at the genitals as they fucked themselves loudly, the sights and sounds of their raw fucking imprinting itself into my memory as I watched my boyfriend fuck my sister without a care in the world.
My heart broke, betrayal clogging my throat as I found it hard to do anything as I watched them, tears streaming down my eyes.
“Jonah,” I choked out, finally finding my voice. “What is going on?”
Jonah’s brown eyes snapped to me as he took in my presence. He didn’t even look surprised. Instead, he looked relieved.
“Oh, Valentina. Enjoying the party?” He asked with a smirk on his face without pausing the sex he was having with my sister.
“Jonah… why?” I asked, finally finding my voice as tears streamed down my face.
He let out a loud sigh, pulled out of my sister and walked towards me. His brown eyes that used to give me comfort mocked me, and from the corner of my eye I could see Flora smirk at me. She loved my pain.
“No one wants a weak omega as a mate, Valentina. Flora is strong, beautiful and everything I could ever wish for.”
He turned to Flora, smiling tenderly at her. The adoration in their eyes felt like a punch to my gut.
“You-you are mates?”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better mate.”
“But, but you promised to-”
“To what, Valentina? You know what, just save yourself the embarrassment of sounding like a fool and get out.” Flora sneered from the bed as Jonah ignored me completely, walking back to finish what he started.
I can’t do it, I have to get out of here.
I ran down the hall, cake in my hand and sobs raking my body. He promised to love me! He always took my side when Flora insulted me. Were all those lies?
I ran to the end of the stairs, not wanting to stay in this party one more minute, but I was stopped by Gordon, One of the triplet Alphas and the most cruel of them all, stopped me in my steps.
The music had stopped, and everyone was watching with wicked smiles.
“Woah woah, Valentina. What’s the rush? The party just started.”
I tried to pull away, not ready for his bullying, “Let me go, Gordon!”
“Okay, okay.” He rose his hand in surrender, leaving me to run down the stairs.
“Must hurt when the love of your life doesn’t give a fuck about you.” He mocked, and everyone laughed, adding to the mockery.
To make matters worse, a foot appeared in front of me, and I tripped, landing face first into the cake in my hand.
“So pathetic.” Asher, another of the Alphas mused, helping me up on my feet. “Wheres your Knight? Oh wait.”
I pushed his hand away as everyone roared with laughter at his comments.
I ran away from the house, not before I heard the third Alpha, Cade say, “That’s enough guys, she’s already pathetic as it is,” causing the laughters to double in magnitude.
I ran straight to the house I wasn’t wanted as anything but a slave.
I trusted Jonah with my heart, but he ended up proving everyone right.
I’m unlovable and no one would ever see me as a person. Stupid of me to think Jonah was any better.
