Alexa stepped out of her house and was immediately greeted by a cool breeze that sent a shiver down her spine. She instinctively pulled her coat tighter around her, trying to shield herself from the cold.
As she made her way to her car parked on the driveway, she couldn't shake off the feeling of apprehension that had been gnawing at her since yesterday. She knew that meeting David at the lake would be easy, but she had to be cautious with her words. She couldn't let him know that she had found out everything about him and Lucy.
With a deep breath, Alexa got into her car and turned on the engine. She could feel her heart racing as she drove down the dark and winding roads towards the lake. Her mind was filled with conflicting emotions - fear, anger, sadness, and betrayal.
"I have never loved you; my plan was to make you fall in love with me and then cruelly abandon you after. And my mate has always been Lucy, but she's an Omega and you're an Alpha's daughter; she needs my protection and you don't; your pride makes it impossible for me to deny the fact that I'm lower rank than you!"
The humiliation of being played with filled her once again as she was about to face this hypocritical face, and she found her wolf claws reaching out at the mere thought of it, and she would never forgive them! Absolutely!
She was being held on her back! She quickly extended her wolf paws and struck back towards the person behind her! She scratched his face.
David's scream of pain rang out! " Ah! You bitch... David immediately realized there was something wrong with his words, and he quickly changed his face. "Honey, I think you must have the wrong person, right?"
Alexa fought back the nausea in her stomach as she sneered inwardly. This was just a small lesson for him. But she knew she couldn't fight him head-on yet; although she was the daughter of an alpha, she hadn't put any effort into training at all, resulting in her power still being weak even though she wasn't an omega.
She doubted she was a match for Lucy, and she needed to find herself a trainer immediately!
Alexa knew she couldn't let him know she had changed yet, so she pretended to cry pitifully. "I was too scared; you never came; I thought it was a rogue. You know, the only way to keep my father from knowing we were dating was to come on a date at the border of the pack." Alexa looked at the cut on his cheek, and she hated to make it deeper again!
She hates David more than Lucy! People who play with their feelings don't deserve forgiveness!
"Sorry. I am late," David said as he walked towards her, a smile on his face. He leaned in and kissed her cheek, but Alexa couldn't bring herself to respond.
David sat down next to her, taking her hand in his and kissing her knuckles.
"How are you doing, My love? Your face looked blush..." he asked, looking into her eyes.
That was caused by anger, and disgust! Alexa stared at him, anger burning inside her. She wanted to lash out, to confront him about his betrayal, but she knew she couldn't. Not yet. She had to control herself until the wedding, until she could expose him and her best friend Lucy for the deceitful liars they were.
He planed to win the position of Beta! However, she would make every pack member know that he was actually a big liar who should be kicked out of the pack! He deserved to be killed by rogues!
For now, Alexa forced a smile towards David and tried to act as normal as possible.
Alexa took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing heart. She knew that she had to keep up appearances, even though she was boiling with anger and hurt. She forced a smile, pretending that everything was normal, and replied, "I'm good, David. Thanks for asking. I was just recalling the fact that I was almost killed by Ryan, which scared the s**t out of me. Do you think he will punish us?"
"That's not the point; the point is that we finally got no obstacle, right? You should now confess to your father that we are the most suitable match!"
As she looked into David's eyes, she tried to find out any concern about her in his eye, yet none of it. He did not even ask Alexa what she had suffered in front of Ryan, instead, he only cared about if his plan would succeed!
Alexa felt she was so stupid before since she was cheated by such an obvious lie!
"David, I think I need to reconsider our marriage plans," Alexa said calmly.
"Why! Alexa, don't you love me? What happened?" David no longer hid his expression; he began to become out of control.
"You didn't even care about me. Is this how normal couples treat each other? When I fought for our future, you didn't even ask me if I was hurt. Do you really love me?" Alexa said sadly.
"It's not true; I'm worried about you! Lucy can testify for me." David swore.
Alexa sneered inwardly. Yes, you were worried enough to have s*x together. Liar!
Alexa's silence made David panic; did she really find out something? No! Someone as stupid as her couldn't have found out; he was sure he was hiding it well, and she must have resented him for not kissing her first.
David grabbed Alexa suddenly, lowered his head, and bit her lips violently!
But Alexa immediately pushed him away! "What are you doing, David?" Alexa said it angrily! She felt so disgusted! In her last life, she enjoyed the closeness between them, but after knowing his true face, she was now really going to throw up! But she could only try her best to show herself calm.
"What's wrong with baby...? Isn't this the most normal thing between couples?" David stated that he was hurt.
Alexa immediately burst into tears. "But you don't know Ryan almost raped me; I just thought you were him. It's PTSD; you can understand it." Alexa denied the pleasure Ryan brought her; she just got things back on track!
Sure enough, she saw David's expression return to normal.
David nodded his head to show that he understood—no one would like Alexa! He tentatively asked again, "Then, we can get married soon?"
"No!" Ada roared, its anger and hatred boiling over.
"Yes," Alexa replied smiling despite the anger rising inside her.
