craving for him

chapter Three

Approached by a strange man

DEREK POV

The morning before the wedding started, I wanted to back down. I know how much humiliation it will cause Sarah and her family but Sasha insisted on going with the plan.

She kept talking about making Sarah go through the same pain she went through when she announced the wedding to her.

And since Sarah is all about the wedding then it will be a good chance to hurt her on the day.

I could see Sarah's father march toward us with anger in his eyes over the decision I made to humiliate his daughter.

I didn't think I loved Sarah well enough to marry her and make her my mate, Sasha felt better to me and I didn't think well before I went ahead to make her my mate.

I could see the look of pain and betrayal in her eyes when she slapped me as I tried to apologise.

I wasn't expecting the slap, I knew she was going to be annoyed considering how much she seems to love me but i don't.

The love I thought I had for her was just lust.

Her eyes were burning with rage, anger and pain, she held her gown and tightened her fist on it.

Sasha didn't care about what was going on, she was just happy to show off the bite but I know I have to calm down and settle the issue.

“How dare you? My daughter loves you so much and will always tell me how you are the right one for her no matter how i try to change her mind but you went ahead to make another woman your mate, not even any woman but her best friend, what were you thinking?” The alpha lashes out.

“I am sorry, I didn't know what came over me” I said.

“I am disappointed in you” He said and shook his head.

He turns to see Sarah running off to God knows where and he looks back at me.

He shook his head and went after his daughter. I sigh and look at the crowd that has started dispersing.

SASHA POV

Angry and annoyed is an understatement when Derek told me he was going to get married to Sarah.

Sarah has always got the good things while i get to be left behind, i saw Derek first and he liked me first but when he saw her, everything changed.

He went after her and before I knew it, they began to date. I was so furious that I knew I had to take back what belonged to me.

When he told me about the wedding, i knew i had to act fast, i couldn't bear to see Sarah have Derek to herself so i thought of making him give me the mate mark.

When he does this, then we will be inseparable, everyone will have no choice than to take it as it is.

Derek wanted us to tell Sarah but I wasn't going to have it, I needed to make her pay for always getting the good things.

I needed to make her feel the pain I felt when I heard the news about their wedding and I decided it was going to be the wedding since she seems so eager for the day to come.

I made out a very good plan to grace this day and now and now he is mine.

No one can ever stop us from being together, not even the moon goddess.

I had to make a lousy apology so everyone would not see me as a bad person.

She knew the excuse was a lousy one barely staring into my eyes. She knows me well enough to know when I mean things and when I don't.

She lashed out at me and called me a betrayal. But I didn't care, all I ever wanted to do is to show off the beautiful mark on my neck and let people know Derek was mine.

Everyone was murmuring among themselves but I didn't care, they were all staring at Sarah with a look of pity in their eyes.

That Was exactly what I wanted, she needed to feel that pain and I could see it all over her.

After the alpha left to find her, I turned to Derek who was just looking around at the dispersed crowd.

“What's the next step? This one is a success, "I said.

“Well, we Just have to wait and let everything die down, then we will have our wedding” Derek said and I smiled.

I knew everything about how he didn't know what got over him was just a lie to get the alpha off his back.

“Great” I mumble.

I knew I still had some work to do, because Sarah might not want to back off, i know how much she loves Derek and won't stop ranting about it that my ears hurt everytime she tells me her tales.

I look around and follow the route she took so I can have a sweet discussion on how she should stay clear away from Derek forever.

SARAH POV

I didn't know where the courage and strength came from. I march towards Derek and slap him hard across the face.

He was trying to say something, but I didn't give him a chance.

“Why? You of all people, why would you do that to me? Why would you betray me? Why my soon to be husband? I ask with a shaky voice.

“You stabbed me in the back, and you did it so carefully that I never suspected anything,” I said.

“Why will you allow your friend's husband to mark you?” I heard my father's voice and sigh.

At least there is someone who is willing to speak for me.

“I am sorry, I didn't mean to do it. It is just unexplainable” Sasha said, trying to look innocent in front of everyone, but it's obvious it's just a fake apology.

If no one sees it, I can see it. She is just making the apology to get people off her back.

I looked at her, and then Derek, Sasha's face, showed no remorse even after the apology. It was unbelievable. I flee off the scene and run to my room, and lock it.

The tears were already dropping before I could get to my room, i tried to hold it back in the garden so no one will see my weakness and pain.

I met no one on the way to my room and I was more than glad about that, i don't think I am ready to meet anyone that would question me or sympathise with me after the way the crowd had stared at me.

I sit on my bed and cry my eyes out, I feel pained and betrayed, and why do they have to do such a thing on my wedding day.

I guess Sasha Must have been annoyed hearing me talk about the wedding now and then that she thought the best time to drop the bomb was on my wedding day.

The one i have always fantasized and dream about.

They could have just not made the day come. They could have come to me and told me instead of embarrassing me in front of everyone.

I hate the look of pity everyone was giving me. It was just too much, and who knows if it is all fake pity.

I cleaned the tears that ruined my makeup but kept pouring, I looked at myself in the mirror, and I looked like a mess.

I removed the veil that was still on my head and threw it to the ground.

My hands reach for my table, and I push off everything on it.

The mirror fell to the floor, and I could hear it shatter into pieces.

I didn't stop there. I kept throwing everything I lay my hands upon across the room, not minding if they got ruined or not.

It's just so terrible to see the man you love with your best friend, a day I will never forget.

While at it, a knock came on my door, and I stopped.

“Leave” I yell, knowing it might be my father, Derek, or Sasha coming to say words that can not change what had happened.

“Go away” I yelled again.

The person said nothing, and I imagined they might have gone.

“you should avenge rather than feeling bittered” a voice said, and i looked at the door.

It is a voice I don't recognize.

“Who are you?” I asked but got no reply, which made me more curious.

Definitely, the person witnessed the scene and was at my wedding. Not my wedding anymore, more like Sasha's.

I stood up and opened the door to see a strikingly handsome young man. One of his hands was in his pocket, and he was staring down at me.

He is quite tall, which makes me look short in his sight.

“Hi,” He said.
