HOWLING HEART ( Bitten by Fate)

Chapter One: BETRAYED.

ALEXA'S POV.

The sound of their bodies moving together was the worst thing I have ever heard. It was the sound of my heart breaking, of my life falling apart. I stood in the doorway, frozen and unable to look away.

It was a memory that would haunt me forever. Was it the sound of my best friend moaning intensively, her leg hanging around my mate's waist as he rammed his c**k into her or the sound of my mate's groan as he pounded into her aggressively?

Either way, I just felt like getting the hell out of here but as I moved backward to leave the room, my back collided with the vase on the wooden table right behind me, fell to the ground, and shattered into pieces with a loud noise.

Jasper, my mate, and Olivia, my best friend both froze on the bed, before both getting up abruptly. Shock is vividly written on their expressions. The tears I have been holding back since all came rushing down at that moment, and I let out a loud wail.

Jasper looked shaken like he had seen a ghost before turning to look at Olivia like he had just come to his senses, but I was not going to be fooled, for I knew he was probably pretending.

I broke down almost instantly, maybe the vase breaking was just a trigger.

I could see the pleading looks in his eyes, however, I couldn't fall for that, at least not at the moment. Hastily he pulled away from Olivia's grasp trying to explain, at that moment I asked myself if I looked like a clown that he couldn't tell that he was caught red-handed, there was no explanation to pull him out from this one.

Without letting him come an inch closer to me I angrily stepped out. He ran right after me, pulling up his jean trousers that hung slightly below his knees.

"Alexa, wait it's not what you think!" he shouted out. Ignoring him I left the house heading out, I couldn't

stay anywhere close to the moron, so I entered my car and quickly rode off without even sparing a glance at him. I kept throwing curses at him in my mind, although I knew quite very well how useless they were.

Now seeing it for myself, I steeled my resolve. I was going to leave the pack and no one was going to convince me to get back. It's not like I was planning to listen to anyone in the first place.

However, the question now was which pack would I go to, would they let me in? a lot of thoughts were going through my mind, but I couldn't think straight either, each time I tried thinking of something else images of the two kept popping up in my mind.

If I had a dagger I could probably run it through his chest if he ever came any closer to me. I didn't know where to go or how I was going to go about the whole thing, I needed some time to think.

Just then I thought of Shirley, she was in a different pack and could probably help me get into her pack. Possibly I could even crash at her place for the night, I knew quite very well that she'd understand what I was going through.

Even, now I didn't know if I could trust anybody especially since what Olivia had done, but I couldn't live on that, I had to find somewhere to at least spend the night.

I soon arrived at Shirely's home, I could see her just in front, with a shear in her hands, probably pruning the flowers in the front of her house.

I didn't want to come in with my car, so I parked around the corner, coming over on my legs. A few steps away I started thinking of how I was going to approach her, I didn't want to disturb someone else with my issues. 'Could she even help me with the problem?' I asked myself, soon regretting why I came in the first place.

She was soon packing her things to get inside when she suddenly looked in my direction. She looked closely to make sure it was me before she called out my name "Alexa" I was too deep in thought to have even noticed that she'd already seen me, but as soon as she called my name I turned to look in her direction.

Somehow with just one glance, she could tell that something was wrong. I was beginning to ask myself if I was really too readable.

"Alexa, what's wrong?" She asked in a calm voice as she approached me. "Did anything happen?"

I didn't know how to reply, the thought of it alone made my lips shudder and once again I broke down into tears.

"Hey, don't start with the tears, come with me". She said leading me inside her house and offering me a seat.

"You came on time, I was actually preparing some tea, be back in a sec," She said as she left to go get some tea.

I sat there sobbing, still somewhat reluctant to believe what I had seen. In just a few seconds she was back with a tray.

She dropped the teacup on the wooden table and proceeded to pour some tea from the tea kettle. The scent of the rich tea swatted into my nose, getting my mind off the issue for a second.

"So tell me what happened" She asked again as she took a sip of the hot tea.

Hesitantly I went ahead to narrate the story to her over again with sobs. I could tell how disgusted she was with Jasper, but I couldn't blame her.

"Don't worry yourself too much, I've got your back. But how could Olivia do such a thing" She said.

"I don't.. know" I replied still sobbing.

"What do you plan on doing now?" I knew the question was coming and it was somewhat the hard part. I didn't know how I was going to tell her that I wanted her to let me into her pack, It was a bit too sudden, but I had to give it a try.

I cleaned the tears off my cheeks, taking a deep breath to calm down, then I replied, "I was thinking of joining your pack, I can't stand being near him" I replied laying cold emphasis on the part of being near him.

"Sure thing, I think I can help you out with that," She said standing up as she finished her tea and carried the cup to her kitchen.

Just then I could feel my pocket vibrate, pulling out my cellphone I saw his name displayed and it sore my mood again.

I didn't want to bother with it, so I placed the phone to the side. Picking up the tea Shirley left for me I took a large gulp, it was just what I needed to calm down at the moment.

She stayed in the kitchen for a few minutes, and I could hear her voice from the sitting room. Apparently, she seemed to be on a call.

Not knowing what to do to get my mind off the whole thing I looked round the walls admiring the beautiful paintings that hung almost on all sides, and then the beautiful vase and flower she placed. on the wooden center table.

Her house was a bit small but albeit wonderful and we'll aerated. She came back with a bright smile on her face, I could smell the good news coming in, so I forced a smile in return.

"Well the head of the pack agreed but he says he'll have to see you first, maybe by tomorrow"

Hearing what she had to say I became a bit nervous, I wasn't in the right state now to meet anyone, till I could calm down a bit, my mind was still in shambles despite calming down a bit. I needed time to recollect myself.

"Can you maybe shift the date for the meeting, I don't think I'm ready to meet anyone just yet" I replied smiling wryly.

We were still in the fit of our discussion when suddenly I felt my stomach turning up and I let out a vomit involuntarily.

I felt disappointed in myself, I didn't know what she'd think of me, but just as much as I wanted to apologize it couldn't just come out of my lips. I suddenly felt dizzy and weak.

Despite what I had done, she seemed to have ignored it all and rushed towards me, holding me by the shoulder.

"Are you alright?" She asked, worry written all over her face.

"Yeah, I th...." I couldn't complete my sentence as I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. Instinctively I clutched my hands to my stomach.

She didn't even ask any more questions as she quickly pulled out her cell and made a quick call.

"Josh, can you come over to my house I've got an emergency," she said on the phone.

I wanted to stop her, she had already done too much for me in just these few seconds I came in but I could feel my body heating up quickly and all the resistance I was putting up coming to not.

Before I even knew what was going on again, my eyelids gave in and the whole world went dark on my end.

Slowly I opened my eyelids and I could hear the two discussing by my side.

"There is nothing to worry about she will be okay, it's just the strain she put on herself and the child that caused it."

"Okay if you say so" I could hear Shitely's voice reply followed by a deep sigh of relief. At least I now knew where I was but I was more keen on the last words I heard.

'Did he just mention a child?' it sounded foreign to me, whose child was he speaking of, I opened my eyes to see the clear white ceiling, apparently I happened to be in Shirley's bedroom after I fainted.

I looked to the side to see Shirley standing with a guy whom I didn't seem to know. She looked at me and said with a smile, "Look she's up" I could tell she wasn't talking to me and I was right, cause just as she said it the man who was standing by her side looked towards my direction.

"That's good" he replied, walking towards me.

"Ma'am I don't think it's a good idea to overstress yourself since you have a child," he said, looking sternly at me.

I heard him repeat a word that caught my attention once again and this time I had to ask "Which child?"

"You're not aware? Well I have to inform you that you are 3 months pregnant".

" What?" I yelped, flying off my bed instantly and Shirley immediately jumped to my side of the bed to hold me down.

" Calm down" She whispered but I struggled hard against her. I just couldn't believe it. I was pregnant and not just pregnant, but for that douchebag. You know I have always felt something was weird in between Jasper and Olivia. They suddenly grew so close and became besties. They suddenly started ditching me at the same time and I, as the big fool as I was, thought it was nothing.

' How they must have laughed behind my back?' I thought, feeling like a hot lava was burning in my chest. That was how hurt I was, that was how stung I was by the betrayal and now I was having a baby on the way for that bastard? Hell no.

I stopped struggling with Shirley and busted into laughter instead earning a scrunched-up face from Shirley and widened eyes from Peter.
