BETRAYED BY HER MATED

CHAPTER 2

Tricia's POV

I woke up with a splitting headache in an unfamiliar room. I blinked simultaneously; trying to adjust my sight to the bright rays of the sunlight which filtered through the curtains and scattered across the floors of the room. The quiet hum of the air conditioner invaded my senses as I woke up from my slumber. I felt a huge pain in my head as one would feel from a hangover.

A duvet was wrapped securely on me, it had seemed like someone had tucked me in. I placed a hand over my mouth and yawned loudly then raised my hands above my head in a stretch. Rolling over on my side, I slowly flipped my eyes open. Once I was fully aware of my surroundings, memories from last night came flooding in.

I had gone to a club with Carlotta and some girls. I drank some of the grape wine that Carlotta had given me. After that she brought me into a dark room and then left. After a while, a man suddenly came in and....

As I realized what happened next, I looked down on myself; shivering from limb to limb. I was fully naked under the duvet and looked to my side to find that I was all alone in bed. I couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions that bursted out as tears, trickling down my face.

'How could I have let my guard down? How could I had agreed to follow Carlotta to a club? ' I felt broken, used and dirty. I don't even know the face of the one whom I had given my virginity to.

Suddenly my phone rang and I immediately picked up the phone to see it was Carlotta calling.

"YOU b***h HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME!" i yelled with so much pain in my voice.

"Tricia I know you're mad at me but I promise I did this with a reason please hear me out then you can scold me later" she replied.

"Scold you? Do you really think that's gonna fix what you've done? you've ruined me I hate you so much Carlotta I hate you". I said then hung up the call on her.

I remained in the room crying my eyes out Wondering if I'll ever be able to find my mate now that I've lost my v card, and worse I don't know who the stranger was how am I gonna find him. How am I gonna face my dad. What would he do to me when he finds out about all this. I put on a shirt I saw in the wardrobe I guess it probably belonged to the stranger last night. I kept walking back and forth in the room lost in thought I didn't even realize that it was 10am.

"Knock knock" I heard Carlotta say behind me while tapping on the door. I didn't even realize she had been in the room for a while.

"Start talking" I said walking towards her while glaring with rage.

"Ok you might wanna sit down for this" she said in a concerned voice.

"Listen I know you think losing your v card last night has completely ruined your chances for finding your mat--"

"That's cause it has" I interrupted

"But I promise you it didn't. You could still find your mate and whether or not you're a virgin nothing changes that. I mean look at me I wasn't a virgin, I had slept with a guy at a party and few weeks later I found my mate, but here you are been all goody goody and still waiting, I didn't want you to keep missing out on all the fun of life I wanted you to loosen up" she said starring innocently at me.

"So the best thing you could do was set me up with a stranger who I've never met before" I said looking annoyed.

"Well I had no choice; I couldn't stand people being all judgey on you just cause you hadn't found your mate yet and so I thought doing this would make you find him faster just like me, I found my mate in a strip club and it was awesome I just want the same for you so you could be Happy. I truly thought you would wake up next to him and he'll feel something for you because you gave him your v card" she said with sad eyes.

"Ok I understand you were just looking out for me but you realize my life is ruined" I said with a serious look batting my eyes at her .

"I promise I won't force or trick you into this ever again" she replied simply with a sweet smile.

"By the way how does it feel" she suddenly asked coming closer to me with a mischievous smirk.

"How does what feel?" I said in a shaky tone avoiding eye contact shyly.

"You know what I'm talking about last night how did it go?" She asked again.

"Well...I wouldn't know because I was drunk" I said and immediately palmed my face in anger starring widely in shock at her.

"Hmmmm I'm sorry girl" she apologized

"Oh my God it's late I gotta go shower could you please get me some clothes while I shower, I gotta hurry" I said rushing to the bathroom.

"No sweat" she said as she started picking up my clothes from the floor.

I quickly showered, got dressed quickly and took a cab with Carlotta. We chatted for a while before droping her off at her place. I headed home alone still worried about the incidient that took place last night. As soon as I got to my apartment, I kept praying to the moon goddess, hoping that I wasn't gonna be noticed as I entered.

I got to the house and what awaited me was my dad starring at me standing at the door post. I saw it in his eyes that he was boiling with rage.

"Go--od afternoon dad" I said in a scared tone as I walked up to him praying in my thoughts that he hadn't figured out about what had happened.

"YOU UNGRATEFUL CUNT!" He yelled batting his eyes on me like he was out for blood.

"Dad I can explain" I said trying to calm him down.

When suddenly, he hit me so hard that I fell to the ground.
