The Rivalry: Two Alphas, One Breeder

NOVA "Yes, f**k yes! Harder, baby!" Grunts and shrieks fill the hallway, wafting from my boyfriend's room. Lewd and torturing skin-slapping sounds cause me to break down into tears. My shaky hands push the door open and my slow steps lead me into the room. Rex is thrusting in and out of a girl. But what's crazy is that she looks and sounds so much like Viola. My best friend. Her hair is sprawled on his pillows and she's giggling and moaning to his thrusts. They are not aware of my presence. Watching them is killing me slowly, so I have to put a stop to it. "What's going on?" I ask in a breathless tone. They both gasp and Rex get off her instantly, falling back on the bed and giving me a bewildered stare. "Nova…" they both mutter simultaneously. Rex is the first to get down from the bed, bottling up his shirt. He's distorted from my intrusion, and that's logical. But what I find illogical is the reluctance Viola is showing. She's my best friend! She, more than anyone else, knows how badly and crazily in love I am with Rex Stephen! She knows we're dating. She's my confidante. And now, I catch her f*****g him and she's not the least bothered? What the hell?! "Nova, I –" "Don't." I put my hand up to silence him. What can he possibly say to save the situation? "Not a word from you." "Please. Just hear me out. I didn't mean to hurt you like this. Let me explain, please." He tries to grab me but I move backward. "You didn't mean to hurt me and yet you did." Tears rolled down my eyes unabated. "You're not clueless, Rex. You knew this would hurt me. You knew how much I loved you. Why would you still backstab me like this?" "I didn't –" He sighs, reaching out for me again, and I evade his touch. "Please. I didn't mean for you to find out this way." To find out this way? Does that mean…? My breathing hitches at the shattering reality. "This isn't the first time you're doing this with her?" Rex's eyes drop in guilt. "I'm sorry, please…" "You don't owe her any explanations, Rex," Viola speaks up with a snort, approaching Rex with a sultry step. Her cleavage is almost popping from her bra and she's wearing just panties. Her clothes and Rex's pants created a heap on the floor. Her brown hair is a tangled mess, and she reeks of arousal. "Shut the f**k up. Please. Let me handle this." Rex tells her. But even his warning sounds weak. Like she's got him smitten. Tears sting my eyes harshly as I stare at the both of them. How long has this been going on? How didn't I notice? How…how could Viola do this to me? She's my best friend, for Pete's sake. "Someone has to tell her the truth and that's not you, Rex. You don't have enough balls for that, so I'll do it." Viola slightly pushes him aside, and now she's standing in front of me. Her eyes are haughty and cold like we've been long-time enemies. But we weren't. She's my favorite person, after Rex. She used to look at me with eyes filled with love. What changed? "You're probably asking yourself a million questions right now. Why did I do it? Why didn't you see it coming? Why did you trust a b***h like me?" I'm dumbfounded so I can't admit that those are the exact questions running through my mind. Tears won't stop leaving my eyes, and wetting my cheek. Rex tries to wipe them but I slap his hand off. He's a bloody traitor! How dare he try to console me?! These tears wouldn't be rolling like crazy if he hadn't gotten involved with the one girl I love the most! "I'm going to answer your questions, so listen closely," Viola says, putting up her fingers in a count. "Firstly, you didn't notice because you're so f*****g dense. Secondly, I got involved with him because I love him too. Surely, you weren't expecting me to give up on my feelings for you, right?" I had no clue Viola was also catching feelings for Rex. I would have let her have him, even though it'll hurt me. She means more than the world to me. I would have given up anything for her. "Lastly, I don't owe you a f*****g explanation. You're not Rex's mate, you're just a measly girlfriend. He hasn't even f****d you, silly. So stop crying and go home. Get out!" She barks, pointing at the door. Nothing prepared me for this moment and as unnerved as I am, I didn't even know what to say, so I did what she asked. I turned around and left. Tiny slow flakes are drizzling as I hit the street, walking home in tears. "Nova, please wait!" It's Rex. He's running after me and finally catches up to me. "About what she said–" "I don't want to hear it. You two deserve each other. I just wish you were honest about your relationship with her. It would have hurt less." "Nova–" Slowly, I take off the coat covering my body and hand it to him. "I should return this." He bought it for me. But right now, I don't wanna have anything that reminds me of him. "But Nova, you don't have any thick clothes. And it's snowing right now. You're going to freeze before you get home." "And that's none of your business. What I do with my life from here on isn't your business anymore, Rex Stephen. So please, let me be." I say firmly, clenching back my tears. I resume walking and only release my pent-up tears as I see him walk back home. I squat on the lonely street, bawling my heart out. Viola. I loved her so damn much. How could she be this cruel? I get it if Rex f***s around. He's a guy with lots of attention. But not with Viola. Not her. Not with the girl who made my miserable days worth living! What happens to me now? Will I ever get a friend who's going to love me genuinely? For all these years, she never truly loved me. At this point, I might never meet the one who'll genuinely love me. As a best friend. Or even as a girlfriend. Drenched in my sorrow, I didn't realize the car coming at me and the honks were illogically inaudible until it was almost running me over. I feel frozen on the spot. I can't move. All I do is say a silent prayer as I await my tragedy with tears in my eyes. Nothing could hurt more than what Viola and Rex just did. Not even if I get crushed by the car, aiming at me.
