"Don't cry for these fucking people, they are not worth it" Sophia tried to comfort me.
"This shouldn't have happened Sophia"! I said, trying to hold my tears. I felt stuck.
But this didn't mean that I would agree to marry that cheater. I would never. Tomorrow I would tell my father that I would not marry him.
"I know Alina, but there is much better waiting for us". She said, I wiped my tears while my mind thought about all the good memories that I spent with James. My eyes soon became heavy as I dreamed of a perfect life with James.
A bright sunlight flashed on my face waking me from my sleep. I rubbed my eyes and stretched my arms.
My head was aching so bad. My Eyes were puffy from crying and my head was throbbing from the stress so l layed in bed for a few minutes,trying to gather my thoughts and calm down. I got so tired from last night's argument that I didn't know when I fell asleep. These people are such a pain.
I got up from bed and went to the bathroom to wash my face. I looked at myself in the mirror and saw the redness of my eyes and the sadness on my face. I took a deep breath and tried to shake off the negative feelings. I knew I had to face my family again, but for now, I just needed a moment to collect myself.
I changed into my casual clothes after taking a shower. I went downstairs and grabbed an apple from the basket. I took my keys.
'We have to go back to him before the evening.' Sophia said.
I know. I just want to talk to Millie. The only one who cares about me.' I answered back.
I had to sneak out of the window because Ava would start her drama again if she saw me leaving the house. I got in my car and ignited the engine quickly.
I pulled my car on the route to Millie's house. The thought of meeting her for the last time was enough to make me feel sick to my stomach. I loved her so much after my mom died. She was like a sister to me.
I parked my car in her parking lot and knocked on her door. She answered after three more tries of me knocking and ringing her door bell.
As soon as she saw me her face turned into a frown.
"Bitch! Finally I saw you. Bride to be. Huh!" She rolled her eyes.
"I am not getting married to him."
I told her.
She stopped teasing me and watched my face for any clue if I was kidding.
"But why?" She asked.
"He cheated..." I choked on my tears and she hugged me tightly. "Sshh. Everything is going to be okay. Let's get out of here first before my crazy step dad finds me talking to you. " We both got in my car and drove to a nearby park. We both sat on a bench in the park. My eyes were all puffy after crying for 24 hours. Millie held my hands in hers and sighed.
"Tell me everything!" She said, I told her the whole story about how James cheated on me and I am not going to marry him.
Millie was fuming with anger after knowing the whole story.
"I can't believe that jerk can do this! How could he cheat on such a beautiful girl for that botax bodied girl." She shouted while throwing her hands in the air.
It is still hard for me to digest the whole thing. All the love and affection that he showed was
fake, he never loved me"! I said.
"Like her mother ruined my father's life, she did mine. She took the love of my life". I said as I gulped the lump in my throat.
" He doesn't deserve you, you are too beautiful and powerful for him. He is just a normal soldier and you are a daughter of the alpha king. You have high standards Alina". She said while rolling her eyes as she was mad.
" What else can I do now, instead of cursing him. I removed him from my life, that's enough for me". I said.
"And after meeting you, I will leave this place and will go far away from here. I will start my new life." I said as I hugged her.
"Wait wait what? No way you are not going to leave me. And tell me your whole address, where are you planning to go and what will you do after that?" She asked, confused.
"I haven't decided yet where I will go but I wanted to leave from here." I said while ignoring eye contact with her. Tears started forming in my eyes.
"You are lying! I know you very well. You can't leave like this.
Who is he?" She looked at me with suspicious eyes.
She was just a bitch, she could sense everything.
"Wh-who are you talking about?
There is no one!" I pretended to behave normal.
"Don't lie to me Alina! I know you very well. I just want to know now! No more lies!" She warned me.
I took a deep breath and gathered all my thoughts. I had to tell her now and I knew how she would react.
"I am going to be the Luna of the Alpha Luciano from the Blood Moon Pack." I said while shutting my eyes as I could sense Millie's mouth dropped in shock.
"What? Are you serious?"
She was completely taken aback and waved her hands in the air dramatically.
"I am serious, Milli. Things happened so fast that I can't keep up." I said while playing with my fingers.
"But how and why?" She asked as she was still in a state of shock.
"I was so drunk and my car got stuck. Then his men caught me and took me to him." I said.
"So it means that you are going to stay with him, the whole life?" She asked while raising her one eyebrow.
"No, it's a contract marriage and I have to stay with him only for 5 years." I sighed.
"So it means that you will pretend to be his Luna in front of all the pack members." She said as she was still confused. "Yes, exactly! I said.
"But why does he has to sign a contract? Why doesn't he simply find his mate?" She said, shrugging her shoulders.
"Because he is a hybrid and he can't find his mate. So he needs a mate to show his pack members." I said.
"What? He is Hybrid?" She said loudly. A man was standing there and was listening to our talks from the start.
"Shhh!" I shut her mouth.
"It's a secret! Never ever told anyone otherwise he will kill me." I whispered.
"Oww!" She said surprised. She looked at that man.
"Look, this man is looking at us continuously. Isn't it strange. I have doubts about him. She said while narrowing her eyes in suspicion.
" Ya! But he must be thinking something.Now I have to leave!" I said.
There was silence for a moment and we looked at each other with sadness.
Suddenly, I heard a loud voice behind me. We both looked in and found James standing there.
He was looking like a total mess.
His hair was all messy and his eyes were all red. He was looking broke. My heart ached by seeing him in this condition.
"Did he cry for us?" Sophia asked. I can feel she was not happy to see him like this.
"I don't know. I don't care." ! replied.
"ALINA! THERE YOU ARE! I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU EVERYWHERE!"
He shouted.
I felt a surge of shock and disgust as I heard his voice. He had no right to shout at me.
He walked towards us and said,
"Alina, we need to talk."
I stood from the bench and Millie stood by my side.
"No, we don't." I said coldly.
"I don't want to talk to a cheater who slept with my step sister, a day before our wedding." I snapped back.
His face turned pale.
"That was a mistake! I didn't want to do that but your sister forced me and manipulated me!" He defended himself but unfortunately there was no use.
"Ohh really! That was a mistake!
You are so innocent James! Shut up! you bullshit! I heard everything when you were cheating with her." I shouted on his face.
Millie stood up and said bravely,
"Leave her alone!"
James looked at Millie and sneered, "It's our personal matter. "
"It's not a private matter anymore. And you're her ex now.
You have no right to bother her." She said defiantly.
