The Cheat

2618 Words
Rosalyn’s POV    I wake up and see a nurse taking out my IV’s. it's my last day in the hospital. I am all ready to leave this hospital. I hate this place. This is the first time that I ever stayed here. I only used to come here to serve some important pack members when they were admitted here. I am shocked to see Greyson here with a bag. He walked to me and helped me sit up and placed the bag on my lap. I opened it and saw some clothes inside it. It was simple pants and a loose T-shirt. I give him a questioning look and he just smiled saying “just wear them and let’s go home soon.” I get up and change into the bathroom. The clothes are so loose-fitting and hide everything my hands and neck are also hidden in it. I walk out and look up at Greyson doing something on his cell phone. As soon as I step near him he smiles at me kisses me on my forehead and directs us towards the door. We walk to the packhouse as it's quite near and I insisted on walking. I was scared of cars. We reach the packhouse and I quickly bow my head and walk behind Greyson. He stops in front of a room and opens the door. “This is your room from now onwards Sweetpea. And there is a door connecting our rooms here. Whatever you will need is available here and also the closet is full of the clothes you will need. I have some important meetings to attend I will come back and we will go for dinner to a place I know. Be ready I will be here till 7 in the evening.” He says and walks away closing the door behind him. I walk further into the room. It's yellow in colour and it looks better than my old room. I walk towards the closet and see all the clothes are almost the same as what I am wearing. There are some evening dresses and these too will hide everything. I wonder why has he suddenly changed. And his eyes just have an evil glint I am scared of him and what he plans. My wolf is awake now she was just upset because of the rejection and the injury was too serious so she was busy healing me. I am happy now that I can feel her. She is the only one that I can call mine. But she is also quite silent and just watches through my mind’s eye. I don’t know what she is feeling. But soon, I smile while thinking about her. I have a strong belief that I will shift soon and then I can communicate with her. I already love her so much, I hope she loves me too.      I walk out of the room I still can’t call it mine. Everything feels so foreign now. I walk into the kitchen it’s still 2 in the afternoon and therefore I get back to my work. I am surprised to see that everything is done and then I remember about the cookies. I still need to bake them for the Alpha and Luna they like the cookies I make and I usually bake them every week to have a stock whenever they need it.  As I am about to take my 3rd batch of cookies from the oven I see some omegas watching and observing me. their stares just make me feel awkward and I try to concentrate on my work. I don’t want to get beaten by these guys anymore. I finish my work and scramble out of the kitchen to the room allotted to me. It's almost 5 now. Today was a weird day everywhere I go it seems that people are staring at me. It sends chills down my back. I forget that for now and try to get ready. I take a long shower in the washroom and guess what? I had warm water. It felt so amazing to have the warm water healing me and washing away my stress. I smile after so many days, but still scared to believe it's true. My gut still says me to beware, as if something bad is going to happen soon. The Alpha ceremony is near. Within 3 days Greyson will be a titled Alpha…I muse and start getting dressed. I choose a normal-looking sundress, it’s the only one that is short. It reaches my knees. I leave my hairs open and gliding down my back till my butt. I give one glance in the mirror and smile I am excited and nervous at the same time. I look at the clock it's almost 6:30 I sit on the bed and wait for him. He said he will be here by 7. Till then I pick up the book I had kept hidden in my safe. And yes I have a safe too. I have many things in them, there is a small chest in it and I m told to open it when I am 18 yrs old. And don’t ask me how I know about it. It was written on a letter inside it and my pack members have respected it or were forced to respect it and never once opened it and see anything in it. I feel as if they are bewitched by the box. Once the Beta’s son had snatched my box and had almost opened it but he went into a deep slumber as soon as he opened it. The safe only allowed me to rummage through it. Therefore, I could hide some things in them. The book was related to the computer sciences. I was very interested in these machines. And I had seen it in the Alpha’s office and everybody using it. It always fascinated me. I was so engrossed in reading the book that I didn’t notice the time. It was just shy to 10. Greyson was supposed to be here at 7. But still, I wait for him till midnight thinking he might come and soon feeling tired I asleep.     I woke up crying when I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. I was confused and didn’t know what was happening. I could hear some moaning sounds from the door that joined mine and Greyson’s room. I clutched my stomach and walked to the door with difficulty and opened it. The scene that greeted me was my worst nightmare come true. It was Greyson and the beta’s daughter Andrea having s*x. I was just standing there and feeling my heart wither away in tiny little pieces, suddenly I couldn’t watch them anymore and I closed the door. I think they didn’t even hear me or saw me, they were so engrossed in their um work…. ugh! now I understood why was I feeling pain. It was the pain of cheating. Cheating! When your mate cheats you with another. I had read about it and I know that cold showers help with the pain a bit. I strip and sit in the cold shower for a while. I couldn’t feel anything just the void in my heart. Next Morning    I couldn’t sleep the whole night and I could hear their moans till 4 am. It seems they both have high stamina levels and a good appetite for s*x. Whenever I closed my eyes the image of them in bed would pop in and this continues the whole night. I look like a zombie today. I don’t know how but I finish the breakfast and do some prep for the lunch. I serve everyone their breakfast and see that Greyson and Andrea aren’t here. It again breaks my heart a little thinking they might be still sleeping in bed entangled with each other. I shake my head and a loud “NO” escapes my mouth and the chatter around me suddenly stops and the Alpha looks as if he is very angry and it seems I am the reason and I glance around looking for a clue as to why do I receive his wrath today and then my gaze stops on the broken china I was carrying. Sudden fear crawls up my body and I stand still, shivering and scared to look into anyone’s eyes. The Alpha roars and stands in front of me, I quake in fear and mutter some strength to speak for myself “A...Alpha I I I aaamm sorr…sorry ….it was a mistake. I I..” I was cut off by him. He slaps me hard and catches me by my hairs and “you slut, do you think that a simple sorry will solve all the problems? Huh. You broke it and it was so costly how could you break it even by mistake? You deserve punishment for this and you will get it.” He throws me on the floor and starts kicking me everywhere and punching me. I just curl in a ball and accept my fate. No one will save me they are all enjoying my torment. I almost blackout but then suddenly everything stops and the next words he says chills me down. “you will be given no food and water for two days and you will be kept in the dungeons bound to the silver chains.” I just sob and a guard picks me up like a rag doll and drags me towards the dungeon and locks me in the cell. The chains still burn me it is not that much as the other wolves would feel but nonetheless it hurts me. I feel so tired, so hungry and so much of everything that I pass out.     I wake up to the door opening and see Greyson standing there with a plate of food. It smells so tantalizing my mate and food together. I try to speak up but he comes in and sits near me. He just feeds me and looks at me with anger. Anger? Why? What did I do? Shouldn’t I be the one to be angry with him? But I won’t argue with him. I don’t have the strength in me. I feel myself getting dizzy and I m worried, something is happening to me. My whole body is burning and I look at Greyson confused. “Alpha?” I question him I have a gut feeling knowing he knows what I am asking and what I am feeling. He stands up and throws the dish somewhere in the cell and looks at me with disgust. “it’s the wolfsbane. I know you aren’t human but also you aren’t a wolf. Or your wolf is too weak to come out. And that’s my punishment for you to bring such a distaste and a shame for me.” I look at him shocked. And he just boils in anger. Gives me one last look and goes away banging the door loudly. I know from what I read that wolfsbane is very dangerous and I don’t have any option but to feel the silver chains burning my skin from outside and wolfsbane from inside. I curse my life and the day I was born. Why do I have to face all these? Haven’t I gone through enough pain already? The night is so long and so painful that I can’t remember anything but my pain and just being engulfed in the darkness of my mind. I watch the sunrise through the window. They say with a new day and the sun rising brings new light and hope for a better day. I just endure the pain and fight the darkness.    . It's been a hell of 2 days in the prison cell. I walk into the room that Greyson allotted me and just take some clothes my book and a safe and return to the basement to my old room. I open the door and fall on my knees crying and begging the moon goddess to give me death. I am a coward and I can’t die myself but I want the Goddess to grant me just a wish. I want to die. Everything in my room looks as it was. I take a cold shower that brings solace to my aching body. I crawl to my makeshift bed and try to sleep, but I just can’t go to sleep. Greyson’s eyes just keep on haunting me and the feeling of something very bad is going to happen has still not disappeared. I thought going to the prison and ingesting wolf's bane was the bad thing that’s going to happen to me. But I guess I am wrong. What do these people want from me? I am just a normal werewolf with no specialities. I am also a late bloomer so why make my life hell? I will just endure it till my last breath. Suddenly my stomach starts getting those cramps again. And now I know them very well, they are those cheating cramps. Cheating cramps! That’s what I call them now. But alas! This is my life and I need to get used to it. It stopped after an hour or so. But I still can’t sleep. After tossing and turning for a while and random thoughts wanting me to end the sorry excuse of my life, I give up trying to sleep. I get out of the packhouse and go towards the lake, it's midnight and it's so dark and the moonlight is the only source of light. I walk towards the lake and sit on the grass surrounding it. I always come and sit near the lake whenever I am upset. I don’t know why but this is my only solace in thhavenld, my safe heaven. I lie down on the grass listening to the night insects’ lullaby and the slow ripples of water and watching the sky. The moon seems to be smiling and giving blessings to everyone on the earth. It brings a smile to my face. I don’t know when and how but I fell asleep there content and happy for a while.     I wake up because of a howl, looking around I see a normal-sized brown wolf watching me from afar and growling loudly. I look at my right and see more two wolves doing the same. I instantly get scared and wonder what did I do to them. Suddenly another wolf emerges from my left side and trying to scent me. Scent me? I look down at my body …I am all hot and sweaty and my scent seems to be different. I look back at the wolves around me and myself again. And then it dawns on me! Oh my God! I am going in the heat. The sudden realization makes my fear rise. Panic settles in I am stuck there like a statue because of the fear. I can’t outrun or fight these wolves. I am in a situation where I am going to lose with whatever I try to do. Help me Moon Goddess!
