Chapter 4: Chapter 4

Chapter 4

Brielle

For the first time, I was thankful that I didn’t have a wolf, or I would have gone insane without rejecting him and continuously nagging at another voice in my mind, asking me to run behind him like a lost puppy, but at the same time, I knew that I should have rejected him for his betterment. I picked up my dagger and wondered whether he watched my lifting gown pull it out near my thighs. Even though I tried not to, blood rushed into my whole

1/16

face with that thought.

“There you are. Let’s go,” Jameson said, reaching near me, but immediately his eyes narrowed, and he whiffed in the air. “What the hell were you doing?” he demanded angrily, and he was about to touch me when I cut his wrist.

He hissed, pulling his hand back towards him.

“Don’t you dare touch me with your filthy hand, Jameson Bowman? Because the next time, I will use my dagger to cut your hand,” I hissed, pointing my dagger towards him.

“Bri…”

“Don’t take my name from your disgusting mouth. WE. ARE. DONE.”

“But why? What have I done? Don’t tell me you’re rejecting me just because you’re getting married into the royal family.” When he started playing the victim card, I wasn’t surprised by his acting because I had already met two of the actresses at my home. I was already standing, or I would have given him a standing ovation.

“Really? After screwing at my back, you have the guts to ask me that question?” I

questioned him back. I was about to say more when Dad

3/16

told me to finish my bath quickly because the Lycan King was there and he wasn’t going to stay for long.

‘Coming, Dad,’ I responded to him before looking at Jameson, who was still in shock at the fact that I knew everything

now.

“Bri… I can explain.”

I shook my head. “Trust me, you can’t unless you’ve got to say that Jade raped you by drugging you again and again,” I said, more like taunting him. “Cheating is not a mistake but a choice, and you made it long before.”

“Please, please! I’m sorry for

4/16

Chapter 4

cheating on you. I regretted doing so. I didn’t know how much I loved you until I realized that I was going to lose you to another man. I love you, Bri. I really do.”

I tsked at his words, “Too late; you already did.” With that, I turned my heel with a heavy heart.

I wiped my tears, which rolled out of my eyes after all, I had loved him.

I thanked my stars for not blessing me with a wolf soul

because, in that case, even she

would have been heartbroken

tonight after rejecting her mate. And I wasn’t sure my

5/16

Chapter 4

b*dy could handle the pain of

two souls.

After taking a quick shower, I walked out of the washroom and put on a lightweight gown. I knew I was running late to meet the Lycan King, but I hoped he would forgive me for this. My heartbeats increased out of nowhere, and the hair on the back of my n*eck stood

when I felt watched.

The same feeling that I had earlier in the woods. I looked

around but found no one.

Maybe I was getting paranoid

because of Matebond.

Damn it! I should have rejected

him.

But the question was, ‘Would he have accepted my

rejection?‘

Once I was positive that the smell of any male wasn’t coming from my b*dy, I was ready to leave my room. But at the same time, Jade barged into my room along with her mom, who might be here to check on me and shout that I wasn’t here or something like

that.

“Why are you back again? Jade asked, her voice laced with anger and irritation.

“Calm down your tone. I’m your elder sister,” I reminded her, while Emaline held her

7/16

Chapter 4

arms.

“Please don’t mind her tone,

Bri. It’s just that she is pissed

that you once again lost your chance to be with your

boyfriend. What happened this time?”

“Nothing. I just found out that he had been cheating on me all this time. I said that and

watched their shocked

expression. “That’s why I’ve decided to go ahead with this marriage alliance instead of eloping with a scumbag.

I didn’t wait for her response and walked out of the room to join everyone downstairs, only to learn that the Lycan King

8/16

had already left.

“Are you sure you’re bathing alone?” My future sister–in–law, Zera Deacon, asked with a smirk playing on her l*ps.

“Zera!” Alpha Tristan frowned, glaring at his sister.

“What? I’m just kidding, observing how she took her time as if she were having bathroom S** or might not have taken a bath for ages,” Zera bluntly said in front of all family members. Her parents didn’t say a word about her

behavior. It made me realize

that they were comfortable

with her behavior.

Jade started laughing at Zera’s

9/16

words, and Emaline controlled

her smile.

They were in shock until now, but it looked like watching me get insulted gave them a reason to loosen up.

“Stop laughing like a hyena; you look more ugly than you already are,” Zera said, shutting Jade’s mouth. This time, I bit my l*ps to stop myself from laughing. It looked like the royal princess’s mouth had no filter.

“In terms of beauty, I must say that Brielle is one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever

seen,” former Queen Aviva Deacon said.

“You wouldn’t have been

saying that if you had seen her mother,” Dad said, to which I smiled softly. The previous me would have gotten offended by his words that he didn’t agree with Queen Aviva, but I used the sane part of my mind, and I realized that Dad just praised

Mom.

‘Did you see how you

indirectly insulted you in front of your in–laws?‘ My emaline mind is linked, trying to add fuel to my stupid mind.

‘Yeah!‘ I responded, and she expected me to say something insulting to Dad, but I didn’t, even though I was tempted to. If my mother was that

11/16

beautiful, then why did you leave her?

Finally, the moment was here when I had to leave for Moonlit Guardians with Alpha Tristan. I hugged my witch mom and my ugly sister before settling into the black car. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to say goodbye to Dad while leaving, but he was nowhere around and had left approximately an hour before, giving the excuse of work.

Once I settled in the car, I looked at my fiancee, who was more interested in watching outside than talking to me. I,

12/16

Chapter 4

too, did the same and realized

that now our car was between

the convoy of black cars.

“So, why are you planning to marry someone like me?” I asked after getting ignored by him for a long time. His behavior was completely different when our families

were around. I watched him

turn his head towards me. “What’s your game, Alpha Tristan?” I added, to which he

chuckled.

“I fell in love with you at first sight; what else?” He mocked playfully.

“It can convince others, but not me,” I scoffed. “I know you’ve

13/16

got other plans, so please elaborate before you drop a nuclear bomb at me later.”

Sighing, he looked at me seriously and said, “I’m going to use you and your beauty to get my girlfriend back.” I

smiled at his words, but his truth broke my chance of a happy ever after.

My boyfriend cheated on me.

My fiancee didn’t want me.

And my fated mate couldn’t have me.

Great! Just great!

“Couldn’t you come up with a better idea instead of

14/16

destroying my life?” I asked with a fake smile again.

“I didn’t destroy your life. Your father did. He should have

known that there was no way any Lycan would be interested in a weak human like you.”

Ouch! I knew I was a weak human, but he should have slapped that reality in my face, hurting me like that.

“But the very first moment he got the opportunity to get her married in our family, he grabbed it as if he was waiting for something like that. Bloody opportunist,”
