Betrayed By The Alpha

Chapter Three

I was knocked out of my memories by the MC, seems he was testing the mics. Soon, the party began with prayer after which Caxton’s father led him out for everyone to see. He was wearing one blue long sleeve shirt and black trousers. His shirt wasn’t buttoned to the very top. I could see the hairs again. My seating position is really the best position for such a ceremony. I could even see his black polished shoes with red lace. He seems to have bought it new cause I knew all his clothing and shoes. I have never seen this one which means he just bought it for the occasion. Caxton was given the mic to say his speech which he did. It wasn’t long but meaningful. After his speech, his father took him around introducing him to the high class elders. Even from where I was seating, I was monitoring all his moves. His smiles too. Soon enough, he left his father and entered the crowd. I was about losing sight of him, I had to stand up and follow him. When I saw him holding a particular girl’s hand and leaving through the back door, I smelt foul play. I have never seen that girl before. She was average in height. A little taller than me, fair and Chubby. She was beautiful no doubt about that. She wore a green short gown revealing a good part of her body.

“Seems she has seduced my Caxton” This was the only thing going through my mind. I kept tiptoeing towards them. At a point, they stopped and so did I,

“ did you feel it,” he asked and the girl nodded. What was he asking her about, I don’t know but before I knew it, they were kissing. I got angry and decided to go back to the party. As I was about to leave, the answer hit me; that’s his fated mate. I almost fell. I knew Caxton enough to know that he won’t kiss a total stranger unless the wolf in him yearns for her. I was both angry and heartbroken. I went back to my seat and sat down. Tears were trying to escape from my eyes but I won’t allow them.

The most shocking part of all was when Caxton marched into the party holding the same girl’s hand. When they got to the front, he collected the mic.

“ Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Cynthia Ralp. My fated mate. My Luna” Immediately he said those words, the tears I have been holding down flowed out. I stood up immediately and left the party.

Soon I got home, thank God Eucharia wasn’t at home so I just removed my clothes and change into my pyjamas. I wanted to sleep but sleep refused to cross my eyes. My heart was shattered. Soon I began to cry. I cried uncontrollably. The scenes kept repeating in my mind. Not as if I never expected this to happen but it hurts. The more I remember the happy memories we shared the more I break down in tears. Not long after, I slept off.

“my God, what’s wrong with you?” I could hear Eucharia shout. I didn’t even notice when she came into the room neither did I notice that my body was heating up.

“ What’s wrong with you” she repeated but I could only stare at her. I was short of words. I didn’t know how to explain to Eucharia what happened. She didn’t attend the party so I guess she has no clue of what happened.

She didn’t wait for me to talk again but rushed into her room and returned with drugs and water. I collected it from her and took a few tablets. Took it with the water she came with after which she left and returned this time with a bowl of cold water and a cloth. I could recognize the cloth. It’s her blouse. She used the cloth and water to clean my body until my temperature dropped down.

“Thanks” I managed to say. She looked at me and smiled.

“ You don’t need to thank me” she reminded me. She was about to leave the room again when I said

“ I’m leaving the pack” She turned immediately as she heard me say it. I could see the shock on her face

“ what happened at the party?” she asked. She knew that whatever I was suffering from is as a result of what happened at the party.

“ Caxton declared someone else his Luna,” I said amidst tears. This time around, it was heavy. Eucharia tried her best to comfort me but It wasn’t working. She knew I loved Caxton and has been advising me to follow my heart but probably because she is a human and doesn’t know how strong the mate bond is especially between fated mates.

“but you know you don’t need to leave the pack,” she told me not knowing that my mind is already made up. I can’t bear seeing Caxton in another woman’s arms neither can I question him for declaring his fated mate his Luna. I would have been able to question him but he is now our alpha, our king, God.

“ I can’t see him with another woman. It’s going to break me. Since he already made his choice, I need to find somewhere else where I can cool off and start my life all over again” I replied. My mind was already made up and I know that Eucharia can see that. She knows me too well.

“ Then, when are we leaving?” she asked.

“I'm going alone” I replied hiding my face. I didn’t want our eyes to meet.

“you can’t go alone, by the way, where do you know?” she asked trying to convince me. I looked at her this time in short of words. I don’t know anywhere. I have lived all my life within the pack and I really need to leave.

“ I don’t want to stress you Eucharia” I mumbled.

“ you aren’t stressing me. I had a deal with your mum that I'm going to take care of you all my life. By the way, I don’t belong here. I have no place in the pack. Allow me to go with you and be of help” she begged almost in tears. I loved Eucharia. She is like a mother to me.

“ No problem, we can go together but where exactly should we go ?” I asked. But she smiled

“My house” that was her reply as she stood up and left through the room door.

Very early that morning, we left New York City. Within some hours, we got to Canada. From the airport, we took a cab. Eucharia gave the driver directions. Soon he stopped in front of a bungalow. We got down and carried our luggage into the house. We were welcomed by a woman. She was slim and beautiful. Eucharia hugged her. I just managed to wave. I was tired already. The woman led us into the house. The interior was quite beautiful. The cushions and curtains had matching colours. Immediately, I sat down.

“ Bring your bags, that's our room over there,” Eucharia told me. Reluctantly, I stood up and picked up the bags. It was heavy so I just dragged it into the room. The room was also nice. I was about to jump on top of the bed when she held me back.

“ you ought to take your shower first before laying down” she ordered. I just nodded and entered the bathroom. As soon as I was done, I changed to my night wear and climed the bed and slept.

“ Hilda, Hilda” that was Eucharia calling.

Reluctantly, I opened my eyes

“ come and eat, food is ready,” she said.

I stood up and followed her. The woman was already on the dining table dishing out the native rice, the aroma already filled the room.

“ sit down,” She told me and when I did, she passed my food. I started to dig in. The rice was sweet no doubt. Eucharia soon came to join us. She brought water with her.

“I'm Fatima “ the woman introduced herself to me

“And you must be Hilda. I have heard much about you from Eucharia” she added.

I just nodded. I was tired. I didn’t even know what to say to her.

“ She is my childhood friend,” Eucharia said too. I was just nodding to response to everything they were saying. I was done eating, I thanked them both and went to drop my plate in the kitchen. I could hear them discussing but I was sleepy. So I retired into my room and slept off.
