Fated To My Ex-Boyfriend’s Father

Ariana My head pounded hard as I blinked my eyes open and my insides lurched as sunlight pierced through my eyes at once. As I rose into a sitting position, I was gripping my head tightly and trying to remember what happened last night when the blanket over my chest suddenly dropped to reveal my naked chest. I gasped in shock, my eyes widening as some of the haze instantly cleared from my eyes, and a gasp got stuck in my throat when I pulled the blanket up and discovered that I was completely naked underneath the blanket. What the f**k? I was the only one here in my bedroom, so how the hell am I naked right now? I’ve never slept naked before so this made no sense to me. I wrapped the blanket around me and slid out of the bed, and I almost had a heart attack at the scene staring right at me. Scattered around the side of my small bed was about a dozen used condoms, and my heart instantly lurched into my throat. Did I sleep with anyone last night without realizing? I pressed my thighs together, and I couldn’t feel any pain, so it was a sign that I didn’t sleep with anyone and unknowingly lost my virginity. A relieved sigh left my throat, but that feeling only lasted for a few seconds, then it was replaced by confusion as I looked over the tattered panties at the side of the bed and a bottle of lube as well. I walked to the mirror at the end of my small room and almost fainted at the sight of my reflection staring right back at me. There were multiple bright red hickeys across my neck, and my hair was a complete mess. If someone sees me right now, and the state of this room, they’d instantly assume one thing. That I had a long night of passion with someone… which never happened, so why was my room like this? Who brought me home from the bar last night and purposely left my room in this state? And where did the hickeys come from? I hurried for my phone, wanting to instantly call Cara, my best friend because she was the one I was with at the bar last night. She should be able to help me understand this confusing situation a little. I was about to dial her muncher when my door suddenly burst open and my boyfriend and the love of my life, Vlad, was standing right there. My mouth opened and closed with nothing coming out. He slowly came in, a shocked expression across his face as he took in the entire state of my room along with my own appearance, then he slowly spoke. “You’re cheating on me, Ariana.” My heart instantly dropped into my stomach as I frantically shook my head while rushing towards him, instantly wanting to explain to make him understand, but he held a hand before I could reach him. “Don't touch me!” His voice was sharp and I flinched. Anger was brewing in his eyes as he took in the state of my room again, right before he leaned forward to sniff at my throat. “You let another alpha f**k you… when you’re always denied me of your body?” “This is all a misunderstanding, Vlad. You know I’d never do something like that and I am really keeping myself for you till our marriage.” I explained, my heart racing hard while I desperately hoped for him to believe me. However, he threw his head back and laughed. “Oh what a fool I’ve been.” He spat before turning and heading for the door. I panicked and hurriedly reached for his hand, but as soon as my hands touched his wrist, he shoved me so hard that I crashed into the nearest wall. As my head spinned, I felt his burning look of disgust drag over my body. “I’m breaking up with you right now, Ariana. And it wasn’t nice while it lasted. We’re over; you cheating bitch.” After those words, he slammed the door hard and I remained frozen in the same spot, unable to believe what just happened right now. Vlad had just dumped me. Vlad that I already saw a future with? He promised to take me as a mate once I turn eighteen, and I had been looking forward to that day for months. Vlad was the alpha prince of our pack and I had felt honored when he approached me a year ago and asked me to be his girlfriend. Since I had a crush on him, I had been elected and had instantly agreed. It didn’t take long for me to fall in love with him, and for the pack members to start to respect me a little, compared to how they all used to treat my entire family since the moment we were demoted to the lowest position in the pack, right after my mother was framed for theft and murder. I had assumed that after I got mated and married to Vlad, I’d be able to officially raise my family's status in the pack. We’d stop having to work as slaves, and my mother could finally be released from the pack’s prison where she had been locked up for so many years. But all of a sudden, everything had gone up in flames, because of something that didn’t even happen. I’d never cheat on Vlad or look at another alpha, I loved him too much to do that. Plus, the men here in this pack all stayed away from me because it was known in the pack that I was the prince’s girl. Instead of breaking down right now like I badly wanted to, I rushed for my phone and dialed my best friend’s number, because I needed an explanation from her to make sense of this current situation. She picked up this time and I signed in relief before explaining the state I woke up in and asking her how I got home last night. “You left the bar with a hot alpha last night. You don’t remember?” She asked and I felt my heart drop into my stomach again. “What?? That’s something I’d never do!” I screeched and she sighed. “I tried to stop you but you were adamant.” She explained and I began to massage my head because it was starting to hurt from all this confusion. “But… I’m still untouched, Cara. I’d know if I have s*x, that’s certain. But there were so many used condoms here, and hickeys over my throat, and I was stark naked. It almost seemed like all of this was set up on purpose.” I lamented bitterly, hearty clenching tightly with pain as I remembered that my boyfriend had just dumped me minutes ago. Cara said I was being ridiculous and she asked me who’d ever think of doing something like that to me, and that the hot alpha probably did that to get back at Vlad, and that he might have even taken pictures of my naked body while at it. And now, I was worrying about something else to join my present predicament. I lamented that she really shouldn’t have let me leave the bar no matter what, before I had to leave when my brother and two sisters came to get me so we could resume our slave duties. ~~~ We worked as slaves for the current beta family. Our father was previously a beta, but after he was banished for apparently betraying the trust of the pack, everything began to crumble. I had two younger sisters of ten years of age, and a twin brother who is about to turn eighteen like myself In a day. My twin tended to the beta’s hard chores, my little sisters cleaned up the beta’s house— a house that rightfully belonged to our family, while I was tasked with seeing to Rue, the beta’s only daughter, a girl who’s my age mate, she was birthed on the same day as me, but we were never friends. She was difficult to work for, because she was spoiled, arrogant and very cruel. She always ensued to make my life extra harder. The only thing that kept my going was the thought of getting taken as a mate by Vlad on my eighteenth birthday, but now that only seemed like a wistful dream. Amidst answering Rue's beck and call, I tried to call Vlad countless times but the call went unanswered. At different moments, the urge to break down consumed me, but I was determined to hold it all in. It got way harder to do when I stepped out of the beta’s house and was about to head to our shabby home with my younger siblings when I began to notice a few people pointing at me and cracking. That was once my norm right after my father got banished and my mother improved, but in the past year since I began to date Vlad, the snide talks stopped, and people began to respect me in the pack for the first time. So this happening all of a sudden was out of place. “What are you talking about?” I demanded from a group of girls before I could stop myself. Sometimes I was too confrontational for my own good. The girls eyed me with disgust. “Oh, nothing, just about the Prince dumping your ass after catching you cheating on him. That’s not surprising anyway because what can someone expect from the daughter of a thief and a backstabber?” My eyes widened in disbelief and I couldn’t believe my ears. I couldn’t believe that the news had already gotten out. Has the prince already announced what he saw, along with the fact that he dumped me to the whole pack? Oh gods! After dropping off my younger sisters at home and ensuring they had something to eat tonight, I set out for my best friend’s. I needed a hug and a shoulder to cry on because I was going crazy as it is. It didn’t take me long to get to Cara’s house, and I let myself in without bothering to knock, and that’s when I got the biggest shock of the day, because my best friend was sitting in Vlad’s lap, moaning loudly as she rode him hard. He was groaning and kissing her throat hungrily. I didn’t know what to think, and a disbelieving laugh came out before I could stop it. They instantly stiffened and whirled around to gape at me. Pain so intense licked at my insides as I looked between the top of them. Cara looked guilty, but she made no move to get off Vlad. Vlad looked bored out of his mind, and another bitter laugh left my lungs. “This makes sense now.” I breathed out, feeling anger wreck at my insides at the realization of how stupid I’ve been this whole time. How was I supposed to ever guess that my best friend and boyfriend would ever betray me like this? “The whole set up, it was your doing, right? It makes so much sense now because I don’t even drink alcohol except when you pressured me into drinking that single shot last night. You claim I left with a hot alpha… but it’s so obvious now.” My voice was filled with pain and anger as I spoke to Cara. “And you’re also aware of that, right? Yet you came over this morning to put on a whole ass show. Why, though? Betraying me like this isn’t enough?” I said to Vlad who sighed before pushing Cara off him and put his d**k away after rising up. “Why? I deserve an answer at least.” I bit out. “Because it was never real between us, Ariana. I was only with you because of a stupid bet.”
