Betrayed

ANNABELLE

I woke up feeling sick and rushed to the toilet to throw up. This has been happening for a few days now, and I knew exactly what was going on. I’m pregnant, and I don’t have a

mate yet.

I was scared, so scared because in the Redmoon pack, a female unmated werewolf is forbidden to get pregnant, and I was.

I was scared because if I can’t present the male werewolf who got me pregnant, I would be beheaded, and my family would be cast out from the pack.

And my dad, as the head warrior of the pack, would be stripped of his position and all of his possessions.

I shivered in fear, though Dylan, my boyfriend, had already promised me that he would take control of everything if I ever got pregnant, but strangely, I was scared and unrelaxed.

“Oh, moon goddess, please let him be my mate… please… If he isn’t, please don’t let him forget his promise to me… and my pregnancy, our child…”

This rule was so unfair because it was only the female and her family that would be punished, not the male wolf who got her pregnant.

As I was still praying to the moon goddess, my twin sister, Mirabel, barged into my

room.

“Happy birthday to us!” She announced happily, making me flush the vomit in the water closet and clean my mouth so Mirabel wouldn’t notice something was she was so fast.

wrong.

but

She looked at me strangely and raised an eyebrow before dropping the cake on the bed and moving closer to me.

“Annie, what’s wrong with you?” She asked me as she scrutinized my appearance. We were so close that it was easy to realize when something was wrong.

“Nothing,” I stated immediately and tried to excuse myself from her scrutinizing gaze.

“You can’t tell me there’s nothing wrong with you, Annie when I can clearly see you’re not okay”

“Okay fine… uhm… Mira, I’m pregnant.

“What?!” She screamed. “You’re pregna-

Shhhh! Don’t shout!”

You’re pranking me, right?”

“It’s the truth, Mira. I’m pregnant, and it’s for Dylan.” I said and slumped on the bed.

“Do you know what you’re saying, Annie?!”

“Yeah. I know…”

“Annie! Don’t you know the implications of getting pregnant without being mated?”

“I know, I know. Dylan promised to take responsibility if ever I got pregnant!” I whisper- yelled.

“How are you so sure that Dylan would stick to his promise!” She facepalmed herself. “I can’t believe this!”

“He would. He even promised to make me his chosen mate, his Luna if I’m not his fated mate. Aren’t you happy for me, Mira? Like, this is what I’ve ever wanted, and you know it.” I looked at her, hoping for her approval but all I got was a disgusted gaze and hurtful words.

“You shouldn’t have given yourself so cheaply to him. It looks as if you’ve been pretending to be all holy and righteous all through.”

“Mira!” I felt hurt by the words she said.

** It was our birthday party finally, and I was having a great time.

I saw Dylan enter the hall, searching all around for someone. Me.

A smile broke on my lips when I felt the bond between the two of us.

The bond pulled me closer until I stood in front of Dylan.

He was my fated mate. My boyfriend was my fated mate!

It was like a weight had been lifted from my shoulders, and I could breathe again.

“I’m so glad that we are mates! I hugged him so tight that tears of joy filled my eyes.

Yeah…” He answered absentmindedly while fie looked around the hall as if looking for

someone.

“Dylan, I have something to tell you… I’m pregnant.” I spilled the beans with a smile on my face, but the next thing Dylan did was disheartening. He removed my hands from his body and ran out of the hall, leaving me all alone on the dance floor.

“Dylan!” I followed after him but couldn’t find him.

“Where could he be?” I muttered to myself.

I searched around for him everywhere but couldn’t find him. I got tired and was about to head back into the hall when I heard whispers coming from a closed room.

“How could you be so reckless to impregnate her, Dylan? This wasn’t part of the plan!”

That got me shocked that I stopped in my tracks, moving closer to the room door and placing my ears on it, my heart thumping wildly in fear.

“I never intended to get her pregnant. It was also so shocking for me when she told

me…

What was I hearing?

“But you are her mate. You are her fated mate, and you know it. You both felt it. My mate is someone else, but yet I’m pregnant for you. What is going to happen to me?!”

What?!!! I covered my mouth in shock.

“Nothing would happen to you, my love. It’s you I love, not Annie. I can’t love that weak. b**d. It’s you. Just you

alone.”

My stomach twisted in a knot.

“So what are we gonna do? I’m pregnant for you, and she’s also pregnant for you, and she’s your mate for the goddess’ sake. I’m doomed!” I heard the lady let out a cry.

“I don’t care. I don’t care if she’s my mate. All I care about is you, my love. You know everything I had with her was a bet. You know that, right? You were the one who cajoled

me into deeping with her. Remember we made a bet that if I ruined her and made her life miserable, you would be mine. You remember that, right?”

Wait… What?! What was going on here?!

“But, I never told you to get her pregnant! So what are you going to do about this mess now? About that baby she’s carrying for you?”

“I’m going to reject her as my mate and choose you as my own fated mate. That’s what I’m going to do. You don’t have to worry about it. I love you too much to lose you, Mira. I can’t love that thing.

What? Mira?! Like my own Mira?

I twisted the doorknob wanting to see who this lady Dylan was talking to was.

My heart thumped in my chest as I saw the lady.

“No, no, no, no…” I shook my head in denial, not wanting to believe that the lady who Dylan was talking to was my twin sister and my most trusted person.

held my chest as streaks of tears fell from my eyes. I couldn’t breathe. It felt as if someone was choking me so hard.

My mate and my sister were both betraying me…
