Forsaken and Fated

You're nothing but a dirty little slut

As Elaine kept drinking, her thoughts drifted back to Joey and how he had rejected her so callously.

She had never fit in with her pack. She had always known that she was different from the other werewolves in her pack. As an omega, she had been born with a low rank, and no werewolf powers to speak of. Instead, she had to rely on her wits and her kindness to get by. But it didn't matter how hard she worked or how much she tried to prove herself, she would always be an outsider.

With every sip of wine, her inhibitions faded away, and she felt more and more lost in her own thoughts.

She thought Joey would be different. He was one of the strongest and most respected wolves in the pack, and he made sure Elaine knew it. He was strong, fast, and incredibly charming. Elaine had always admired him from afar, but never thought that she would have a chance with him.

So when Joey approached her one day, she was over the moon. They hit it off right away, and before she knew it, they were dating. It was the first time Elaine ever experienced the feeling of being loved, and for the first time in her life, Elaine felt truly seen.

Another glass of wine. The more she drank, the more she felt like she was drowning in her own misery, unable to escape the overwhelming sense of sadness that consumed her.

In time, Elaine started to find out the truths of Joey. He would tease her relentlessly, calling her names and belittling her at every opportunity. He would make fun of her in front of his friends, using her omega status as a way to gain social points; he would cancel plans with her at the last minute, or forget to call when he said he would.

But she loved him anyway. She had always been a shy and insecure girl, and Joey was the first person who had ever shown her any kind of attention.

She clung to him like a lifeline, convinced that he was the only one who would ever love her.

And now, she finally understood. Joey had never really loved her. She had always just been a convenient placeholder until someone better came along.

And another glass of wine. She just wanted to forget everything, even if it was just for a few moments, to escape the pain that seemed to follow her wherever she went.

A few hours later, Elaine stumbled back to her cabin, her head spinning from the copious amounts of wine she had consumed. As she fumbled with her keycard, she realized that she was in no condition to face the empty room alone.

With a heavy heart, Elaine decided to keep drinking to numb the pain. She grabbed another bottle of wine from the mini bar and stumbled down the hallway, her vision blurred and her balance faltering. As she walked, she spotted an open door, and without a second thought, she stumbled inside.

By the time she stumbled into the wrong room, she was barely coherent, her mind foggy with the effects of alcohol. Without looking around to make sure it's her own cabin, she collapsed onto the bed, her eyes fluttering shut.

The next morning, Elaine awoke with a pounding headache and a sense of dread in the pit of her stomach.

And with a naked man sleeping by her side.

A man?

She looked over to see the man she had slept with last night. His chiseled features were accentuated by the soft light that was filtering in through the curtains. His chest rose and fell with each breath. She could see his toned body between the sheets.

He was so handsome.

But Elaine didn't have much time to appreciate his perfect face and body. Thoughts occupied her mind.

What had she done? What happened last night? Who is this handsome guy? The fear and regret washed over her in waves, her mind racing with thoughts of last night's events: Joey found his mate, she was rejected, and she drank too much to escape the truth, then she got drunk and went back to her own cabin...

Elaine forced herself to sit up and look around the place; it was not her cabin at all!

She entered the wrong cabin, and now her dress and underwear is scattered on the floor of this strange cabin.

She couldn't believe she had slept with a complete stranger! She couldn't even remember the man's face or name, and the realization made her feel sick to her stomach.

She got up and stumbled towards the bathroom, her head still pounding from the wine she had consumed. She looked at herself in the mirror and saw the dark circles under her eyes and the shame written across her face.

Elaine knew that she had made a mistake, a big one. She knew that she could never tell anyone what had happened, especially not Joey. He was already disgusted by her omega status, and she couldn't bear the thought of him finding out about this.

"I have to leave before the man woke up." Elaine thought to herself.

Trying to compose herself, she quickly got dressed. But just when she started to put on her dress,

Bang!

The cabin door was opened with a thud.

It was the beautifully dressed blonde girl from last night, Joey's mate!

Her eyes widened in shock as she walked into the cabin and found Elaine hastily putting on her clothes. "What the hell is going on here?!" she exclaimed, her voice laced with anger.

The man was also stirring awake, looking confused and disoriented.

"Sabrina..." He rubbed his forehead with his hand and said, " I... I think I was drugged last night."

He recalls what happened last night; he had a drink at the party, merely a half glass of wine, and after that, everything was fuzzy. But as he looked at the girl who's still trying to get herself dressed in the cabin, a sense of familiarity came over him; somehow, he felt like he had seen the girl somewhere even though he didn't remember anything that happened last night.

"Ha! Alan, you'd better cancel our engagement right now. I would never marry a cheating asshole like you." Sabrina spat at the man, and her eyes turned to Elaine after saying that.

"I-I can explain," Elaine stuttered, feeling so embarrassed and overwhelmed with everything. What did she do? She slept with someone else's fiance?! And the man she slept with was the fiance of Joey's mate?!

"Explain what? That you and my fiance were cheating behind my back? That you're nothing but a dirty little slut?" Sabrina spat out the words with venom, her eyes filled with disgust.

Elaine recoiled at the harsh words, feeling the weight of Sabrina's contempt crushing her already fragile spirit. "N-no, it's not like that," she protested weakly, her voice barely above a whisper.

But Sabrina wasn't listening.

Smack!

Sabrina raised her hand and was going to slap Elaine on her face. Elaine, with her dress still in her hands, stood frozen and didn't realize what was happening for a moment.

Suddenly, a strong hand gripped Sabrina's wrist.

"She had nothing to do with it." Alan's voice was still a little hoarse from the hangover, but he sounded very determined.

Elaine's heart skipped a beat. This is the first time someone ever protected her without a reason, even when she is so suspicious.

"You son of a b**h! Think about how you're going to pay me back!" Sabrina wrenched her hand away from his grip and flung the door shut heavily. But as soon as she left the cabin, a mysterious smile appeared on her face.
