Betrayed Luna: Her Second Chance Lycan Mate

Freya’s pov “So what do you think of the red gown?” I asked Sasha expecting her to give me a straightforward reply but she seemed to be stuck staring out of the window. This irritated me to no end but she was my friend and I was not going to let it slide. “Sasha!” “Yes!” she answered in a rude tone, turning to look at me before flashing me a smile that didn’t reach her eyes. “I’m sorry Luna Freya.” “Luna Freya?” I scoffed. “We’ve literally been best friends since childhood and you’re currently referring to me as Luna? You better quit it now if it’s a joke.” I found her dismissive attitude a little offensive and the way she looked quite troubled didn’t make me any happier. This was supposed to be a party I was planning to attend with her since the pack was throwing it, but my best friend was not helping in any way. “Fine,” I sighed. “I’ll just wear something else instead.” Sasha looked like she wanted to say something before deciding against it. A knock came on the door and the maid on the side opened it to reveal my mate, Alpha Alex, whom I had been happily mated to for five years now. We’ve known each other since we were kids and ended up being each other’s chosen mates after leaving school. We’ve been happily mated ever since and I’ve never been happier, nor could I ask for anything more. “Baby!” I squealed, rushing to hug him as he entered the room with that signature scowl I had grown accustomed to because it made him hotter. As his hands settled on my waist and he kissed my head, I noticed his eyes darting to Sasha and lingering. It didn’t take long for me to connect the dots, seeing as I could easily see through it now from years of witnessing it. They were both clearly planning a surprise for me, and that thought got me extremely excited because I love surprises. Determined to not ruin the surprise, I acted blind just as the head chef appeared at the open doorway. “Good morning alpha Alex, Luna Freya,” the old man bowed respectfully. “Luna Freya, the party organizers ask where the royal cake for the celebration would be set.” “Tell them…” I started to say as the woman shook her head. “I would prefer it if you come with me.” I looked back at my best friend and mate for a moment before exiting the room with the chef, carefully shutting the door behind me, while already trying to come up with the surprise I'd be greeted with on returning to the room. I spent about thirty minutes in the kitchen giving orders here and there and getting more stressed out, and I was relieved to be finally leaving. I was so excited for whatever surprise I’d be greeted with as I pushed the door of the room open and excitedly made my way into it. At once, my heart shattered and dropped into my stomach like dust at the scene before me. Sasha and Alex were in my bed, kissing with deep passion, and the air smelled extremely heavy with their arousal mixed together. “What the f**k?!” I exclaimed in shock as they jolted apart while regrading me with dread as they moved away from each other. Sasha was shrugging on her top and I noticed her bra at the top of the bed, making my lips curl from disgust. They had clearly not expected that I would be back this soon. I was confused and my heart thumped with betrayal. My brain couldn’t wrap around the fact my best friend and my mate were together in bed just now. How could they let that happen? Looking at the both of them, their gazes averted from mine, and I could feel my heart shattering even more. How could they do this to me? What have I done to deserve this treatment? Why would Alex cheat on me with my best friend of all people? The more they tried to hide their scents, the more pissed I was. Feeling enraged, I turned towards my mate, pointedly ignoring his hardon as I snapped. “What’s the meaning of this, Alex? Explain yourself.” Alex sighed and looked away. I didn’t deserve this kind of treatment. I had not done anything to deserve this. I had loved him for years. I had given him every part of me wholeheartedly during our relationship. This was not how I deserved to be treated. This was something I never saw coming. I never suspected a thing. “Say something!” I yelled. “Your best friend Sasha is my fated mate,” he finally said, voice low and hesitant, breaking the silence. My legs gave out and I fell into the bed behind me, mind still reeling from shock. “What did you say?” I whispered in disbelief, unable to understand what he was saying. What did he mean by fated mates? Since when? “You and I are great together, very great… but, we clearly don’t belong together for the moon goddess to decide to reveal my fated mate to me. Coincidentally, my fated mate turned out to be Sasha, and somehow, it all makes sense because I used to feel unbelievably whole in her presence. She’s the one who clearly completes me. She’s my fated mate and I cannot reject her.” “Now, I still love you and I will never leave you but you have to understand that Sasha is the one I have to be with henceforth. For our bonds’ sake and my wolf’s sake, and for the sake of peace to reign here in the pack, I will have the both of you as my mates. One as my fated mate and one as my previously chosen mate whom I’d still love no matter what.” Suddenly, I felt sick to the stomach while listening to him talk. I glanced at Sasha, expecting to hear her deny his statements but her silence was as loud as his words. “And you’re just gonna sit there and not say anything?” I demanded of her. She looked at me with no remorse in her eyes as she declared, “I have been waiting for my fated mate for years and finally, I have found him. Do you think I will let him go? Is that what you expect from me? I thought you loved me?” I suddenly wished she had remained quiet. How could she turn around to stab me in the back, then go ahead to make it seem like I’m the bad person here? “You can’t be serious right now, Sasha… you f*****g back stabber.” We had all grown up together, Alex, Sasha and myself. I had gotten mated with Alex after years of being in a relationship, with Sasha shipping us hard. I never considered that a day like this would come. “Freya, listen…” Alex started to speak but I was done listening to him. I backed away until I was at the door. “Freya!” Not waiting for a moment longer, I exited the room, then the pack house, heading straight for the house which once belonged to my adoptive mother. It was empty when I entered as I settled on the couch trying my best to not cry over spilled milk. It was done, there was no need to worry or cry anymore. Alex and Sasha were a thing now and clean, there was nothing I could do about it. I started to wonder how my life had turned upside down in only about thirty minutes, but that thought stopped when I felt a sharp pain in the bite mark on my throat and a feeling of disgust settled in my stomach, which definitely signifies that Alex and Sasha were currently having s*x. Alex hasn’t even bothered to run after me. He was satisfied with f*****g his fated mate instead. They could have allowed me to get over their betrayal first before jumping right in for s*x. How could they do this to me? They were monsters and I definitely do not deserve this from the two people whom I’ve loved throughout my entire life. The pain in the bite mark increased drastically as I fell to the ground, groaning before passing out. *** Slowly but surely, I opened my eyes to stare at the white ceiling which hovered over me and suddenly I was overcome with the feeling of nausea. Rushing to the bathroom to throw up, I started to think it was the aftereffect of the pain on my neck but my wolf, Aria, negated it. She was sure it was not from the pain but from something else, something serious. I decided to listen to her and rushed to the nearby healer as I was ready to get to the bottom of this. The woman performed several tests on me before coming back with a proud smile on her face. “You are pregnant, Luna,” she clapped. “Congratulations!” But this was not a message of goodwill for me, this meant doom. I was pregnant for my mate who is now also mates with my best friend.
