I woke up with a splitting headache in an unfamiliar room. I blink simultaneously; trying to adjust my sight to the bright rays of the sunlight which filtered through the curtains and scattered across the floors of the room. The quiet hum of the air conditioner invaded my senses as I woke up from my slumber. I felt a huge pain in my head as one would feel from a hangover.
A duvét was wrapped securely around me, it seemed like someone has tucked me in. I placed a hand over my mouth and yawned loudly then raised my hands above my head in a stretch. Rolling over on my side, I slowly flipped my eyes open, the world seemed cloudy before my eyes and I couldn't see so I tried to focus my gaze and blinked in rapid succession to rub the sleep from my eyes.
Once I was fully aware of my environment, memories from yesterday came flooding in. Earlier on, Father had used me as his tool once more just because he argued with a friend and needed someone to yell at. He reminded me of my real place in the house and also how useless my mother was just because she couldn't bear him a male Alpha that would take over the pack. So I decided to go over to Fredrick's place.
I felt the rain drizzle as I walked slowly to my boyfriend's apartment. I felt emotional but didn't show my emotions to the outside world. The people around me only looked at me with one expression, disgust.
I was nicknamed unlucky and they all thought am cursed, maybe I am. I looked up ahead and saw Fredrick's small apartment was not so far away anymore. I couldn't help but keep thinking about him, My father, Alpha Gregory had gotten into one of his moods again. As usual, he called me to the living room and used me as an object to clear out his anger and frustration.
Finally reaching Fredrick's house, I opened up the wooden door and walked in. "Fredrick" I called but no one answered. I looked around and It seemed as though he wasn't home.
I walked in the direction of his room only to hear lewd noises coming from the other side. I internally prayed to the moon goddess that Fredrick wasn't in there and I must be having hearing problems due to the blows I had gotten earlier. But all hopes got shattered when I opened the door to see Fredrick was getting intimate with some girl at the edge of his bed.
I stood there in shock and disbelief not knowing what else to do. After a while, he finally noticed my presence and quickly hid the girl's face beneath his duvét. I tried to catch a glimpse of the girl, out of curiosity, but I was only able to see her necklace. A part of me recognized that necklace as it looked extremely familiar
"Alicia...." I heard Fredrick call, I looked up at him with tears streaming down from my eyes and past my cheeks
"I'm sorry...I....I....i-....can explain" he stuttered
"I-...I'm waiting" I whispered under my breath waiting for an explanation. I knew within me that an explanation was unnecessary at the time. But what could I do? Fredrick is the one person I could go to whenever I felt down and all alone in the world. He was truly the only person that has always stood by my side and helped in even the tiniest ways, so I knew I'd do anything to still keep him close to me.
"Well, you know the hormones and I didn't want to force you...." he wasn't trying to explain himself, he was only trying to play the victim card and blame me for it all. Unable to stand it, I turned and ran out of his apartment.
You'd think my so-called boyfriend would come after me but he didn't; even if he did, I wouldn't know. I ran as fast as I could and stopped at my crying spot.
I stayed there crying my eyes out in the rain, the pain I felt in my heart was way too high that I felt, if it doesn't calm down soon, I might end up bursting out into pieces
After an hour had passed, the rain had abruptly stopped but my tears did not. I heard footsteps coming towards me and looked up to see Patricia, my stepsister walking towards me.
"Oh my, oh my...." She exclaimed before crouching down to pick me up. I slowly stood up to see the same necklace I had seen earlier at Fredrick's apartment. I realized why the necklace looked familiar. I had made Patricia that necklace last full moon, as a gift.
My brain said Patricia was most definitely the girl Fredrick had been sleeping around with but my heart refused to believe that. Patricia was my only sister and she wouldn't betray me in that way, right?
Without thinking, I threw myself at her and engaged her in a tight koala bear hug. I felt her pat on my back trying to soothe me.
"What happened? Why are you crying?" she asked sounding worried. I inhaled her scent to try to calm down only to find that she scented Fredrick. His scent was too much on her to be just a coincidence.
I couldn't believe it. I have been betrayed by both my step-sister and my boyfriend. Realizing that fact, I moved away from her and hit her so hard across the face that she ended up stumbling before falling to the ground.
"How could you? How could you do this to me, Patricia!" I yelled at her in pain and anger.
"W- what did I do?" She stuttered, her eyes filled with obvious fear.
"When did it all start? How long have you been getting intimate with my boyfriend!" I yelled with tears in my eyes.
