Mated To Four Alphas

XYRA

Who would have guessed that the world I’d created, the image and reputation I’d worked so hard to build and retain over the last two years, would come crashing down around me? I wouldn’t have expected it, especially from the one who was supposed to stand by me, the one I called a sister and a friend.

I stood facing her, hoping to see even a glimmer of remorse in her eyes for the sake of the friendship we once shared, but all I got was hatred; hatred directed at me. Her eyes screamed at me, the flames of rage burning bright. At that moment, I wanted to know why she chose to ruin my life. Surely, there must be a reason for her to have revealed my darkest secret, which she swore she would never reveal to anyone. Not only that, but she must have a reason for sleeping with my boyfriend and posting a recording of it on the school website.

Earlier today

Today was like any other day when I went to school excited to resume my daily duties as the female student council president. Everyone called me the Queen Bee of Golden Claws Academy. And because of my good grades and achievements over the years, I easily became everyone’s favorite, including the teachers. I kept winning, making sure not to lose my focus on winning, and I always emerged as the winner. Even when I ran for Prom Queen, I was declared the winner due to the massive support from the students who love me.

I won the hearts of the teachers because I always diligently carried out any work assigned to me and always won school competitions, so being the female president was a sure bet for me and something I had always dreamed of happening.

“It’s Xyra.”

“I can’t believe she's here.”

“Does she know? Did anyone tell her?”

As I made my way to the classroom, I heard whispers from a few students standing in the hallway. All eyes were on me. I noticed everyone was staring at me, some with pity and some with disgust, while they held their phones.

I was nervous, curious, and concerned all at the same time. A teacher had called for me before class so I had left my phone in the classroom, so now I had no idea what was going on or what everyone was watching, and no one was coming forward to tell me anything.

Their stares bore painful holes in me with each step I took, and my movements became slower than ever because my legs started to feel heavy and numb. I had no idea what they were watching on their phones, but I wanted to find out as the murmuring increased.

I was halfway down the hall when someone grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the remaining half of the hallway. The murmuring became even louder at that point, and I realized something terrible had occurred. What could it be?

I was dragged to a quiet place, far from where any student could come since it was nearly time for our first class.

“I saw you needed help and decided to lend a hand,” Helen, the person who dragged me along, explained. Helen was the volleyball team’s captain and a wolf with the gamma rank. She wasn’t the type to make contact with people and isn’t particularly friendly with anyone, so I was surprised that she decided to help me, though I was grateful. In the hallway, I felt like prey in the presence of many predators.

“You haven't seen the post and video uploaded on the school website, have you?” I shook my head at the question that helped me out of confusion. “Ha, I see. I’d explain, but I think it’s better if you read the article and watch the video yourself,” she said as she handed me her phone.

I gasped in shock when I saw the headline,

‘CROMWELL b***h IS GOING DOWN.’

I blinked several times as I read the title, and my hands began to tremble as I started reading the post, which has already received 100,000 likes and 500 comments. Whatever this post contained made the other students hate me, so I knew it wouldn’t end well, but I was still determined to find out what the post was about.

I read the post line by line to ensure I didn’t miss anything about what was written about me.

The post read:

“Who would have guessed that Golden Claw Academy’s parading Queen Bee is an illegitimate child and, worse, a low-ranking class filthy omega? She was born to an omega mistress who used to be her boss’s secretary. Her mother shamelessly seduced and slept with her boss. Unfortunately, protection wasn’t used, and the mistress became pregnant. She refused to terminate the pregnancy and forced her way into the Cromwell household as her boss's omega mistress, giving birth to her daughter. Her daughter, the only child of the boss, became the Cromwell heiress.”

As I read the final line, I felt my insides clog. This was my family secret. And we had all sworn to take this secret to our graves. So how did it end up on the school website, and who could have done this to us? A few moments later, I received the answers to my questions in a video attached at the bottom of the post. The perpetrator must want everyone to know their identity, I think to myself.

I screamed in shock as I clicked the play button on the video. The video in question was of my best friend making out with my boyfriend, said boyfriend who was my first love, and promised to mark me after we finished school.

This couldn’t be happening; it had to be a joke. My heart shatters into a thousand pieces, and my airways clog up. It was hard to breathe after watching that video.

How could I have imagined that someone whom I trusted with my life would do something so harmful to me?

I needed to find her to find out why she did it.

Unbeknownst to Xyra, her life was about to take an unexpected turn.
