Bitter Truth
" Today marks six months of me and Josh together. I am going to surprise Josh . I bought a bouquet of lily and a champagne. " I told myself before heading out to the coffee shop I work.
I am Erin Montana. I am a hybrid who is considered as an abdomination. I am 21 years old. My wolf is snow white in color and about 5 feet tall. I am a half vampire too. I don't belong to any pack as I was living along with humans. My dad and mom despite being mates didn't got along at all. After I was born, my mom rejected my dad and went on her way. My step mom is my dad's second chance mate. I have been living with Marcia, my step mom since then. Marcia is very kind and affectionate towards me. She treats and loves me as her own daughter. Marcia is the head of the werewolves council. Not many knew this. She's an elemental wolf and her element is fire.
The world we live in has drastically changed over the years. Werewolves and Vampires are arch rivals . They're living among the humans who are aware of their existence. A peace treaty has been signed by werewolves council (Elders) and the Vampire king Alfonso Mikhail after a war between Werewolves and Vampires that happened a hundred years ago. The war had caused severe damanges to both sides. Werewolves Alpha King was trapped cunningly and killed by Alfonso and then the war ended with peace negotiations.
Both Vampires and Werewolves must not enter the other's territory or capture the other kind. It's the most important rule. Werewolves formed the council with five Elders (Elementary wolves). Each has the power of controlling one natural elements. Their legacy has been carried forward by their family successors.
Werewolves started to indulge in power tussle often and drifted over various lands across the world. In USA alone, more than 20 werewolves packs are there. Though Vampires prefer to live alone in their territories, werewolves mingled among the humans. Werewolves of a pack meet every full moon on their designated location or pack house.
Enough of Werewolves and Vampires history for now.
In the business world, Marcia Montana is a one of the successful billionaire with companies all over the world. She's in her mid forties now. Not many will believe that we're mom and daughter as she looks really young . Add to that, not many know my real identity and my connection to her.
Marcia never spoils me with money. She made me to take up a part time job while I got enrolled for college. I will be graduating college this year with a major in business administration. While working part time at a coffee shop, I met Josh, our college football captain. He's human . He asked me out on a date and I agreed.
Now, It's been six months since I started dating Josh. He was really sweet and caring boyfriend. Though Marcia doesn't really like him, she let me do what I want. I never told him who I really was. He just thinks I am like him. Today is our sixth month anniversary. So, I thought of surprising him by showing up at his place unannounced. He is in for a shock.
The coffee shop I work is not crowded much today for which I am thankful for. It's not that big of a place. We have around 15 tables and five waitress and a cashier. This place has a homely feel to it. We treat each other as family. Our boss Gwen is very kind and caring lady.
" Hey, can you cover my shift for an hour?. I need to leave early? " I asked Zara, my bestfriend who also works worh me here.
" Let me guess, Josh? I seriously don't know what you see in him. He's lying to you. I myself saw him with Georgia but you're not believing me. " Zara throw her hands up dramatically in air as she started to lecture me.
" Zara, it was before he started to date me. I trust him. So , just drop it. Let me enjoy it. " I replied while rolling my eyes.
" Whatever. I just wish, you don't get hurt. Girl, you go enjoy your night with your boyfriend and behave! " She waved me off. She doesn't like Josh for me at all. I hired a cab to reach his place. He doesn't know I am rich either. Yet he's in love with me. So, I believe him.
I arrived at his place and paid the cab. Seeing the front door open, I entered the house. I heard some moans coming from upstairs. I tiptoed to his room and peeked through the hole of the door. Georgia and Josh are having s*x. Tears threaten to come out of my eyes.
" Hey Josh, why are you still with Erin?" Inquired Georgia as she started to wear her dress back while Josh just laid in his bed.
" Erin is a keeper. I need her. She's loyal and will care for me. I did a deep research on her . She's Marcia Montana's daughter. Heir of Montana Enterprises. So, I don't have to work and enjoy my whole life. Besides I still haven't f****d her. She's naive and virgin who believe in love, romantic s**t. If I get to marry her, my life is settled for life. So, I can't let her go. " Josh replied as he put on his boxers.
"Seriously, even with all of your other flings ,how did she even believe you?" Georgia asked as she trailed her fingers on his chest.
" Because she's stupid and crazily in love. She trust me completely. " He said proudly while pulling her closer to him. They kissed again. After pulling out, " Will you miss me? " She purred as I gag at the sight.
"Of course I'll ..ahh...uhhh... miss you. You're ... ahhhh... gorgeous... Everything anyone ...ahhh would want in a woman unlike plain Erin." He said in between the kisses.
"How sweet of you to say," She responded while flashing her beautiful smile before moving in for another kiss.
I have had enough. I slammed the door open. Both of them looked at me like they've seen a ghost.
" Baby, it's not like what you think. She came onto me. " He then turned to her and said " s**t, leave. No matter how hard you try, I will be faithful to my baby. "
Josh calling me Baby made me cringe. His friends arrived exactly at the same time . Looks like Josh planned a party in his house.
" Baby, let's talk in private. " He murmured as he came next to me while placing his hand on my shoulder. I immediately feel bad and moved away from him.
" No, Josh. How could you do this to me? I really can't believe it till now. How pathetic I was to think about giving myself to you tonight while you're w*****g around almost every day. " I angrily threw the lingerie I bought to wear tonight for him.
At the same time, his friends and his team members, college girls all started coming in . They entered and came where we are.
" Erin, it's over. You and I are nothing but f**k buddies. Hey guys, look at this . " He picked up the lingerie I thrown at him in his hands.
" I have done it. I popped her cherry. Never thought it will be this easy to get inside her. She's a dirty w***e, guys. Don't fall for her appearance." He proudly showed it to his friends while I cried and stood there in shock.
" How could you even believe that I, Josh Blackwell college football captain and quarterback fall in love with a meek nerdy girl in the first place? You're nobody , Erin. Why don't you leave?" Josh mockingly asked me as his friends and college s**t Georgia cheered him on.
"Baby, It was all for fun. I need something challenging to spice up my usual life. So, I decided to play with you. I chose you as you're the one who didn't give a s**t about me. When all the girls are drooling over me,you don't even acknowledge my presence. It hurt my ego. Add to that, They challenged me that I can't make you fall for me. " He pointed towards his friends who are all watching us while having a drink nodded at his words.
" Josh, how can you be so heartless? " I asked him while trying to restrain my tears from falling out. He laughed at me and then walked back to Georgia. His friends surrounded me. Josh came close to me.
" N n no, it it's " I started to stutter as I got to panic.
" You're so gullible, Erin . " He smiled evilly. I was lost for words.
" Even if you say nothing happened between us, no one will believe you. Noone can take you away from me. You're officially a s**t now. " He whispered in my ears before pushing me away.
I stumbled backwards but luckily didn't fell down. I walked away from there to the dirty glances of the guys and girls who came to the party. Never have I felt so ashamed and humiliated.
I started walking aimlessly across the New York streets. I didn't even realize that it's raining until I shiver. When I stopped and looked around, I was standing on a dark street with no people or house around.
Looks like I took a wrong road.
I wanted to shift but my wolf isn't ready to come out. I shifted only once and it was very painful. Add to that ,my mobile got switched off. So, I can't call anyone or avail Uber . I walked faster trying to find my way out.
I feel like I am being followed by someone. I turned back and didn't see anyone. Maybe I am being paranoid about it .
