KASSY
The next morning, I woke up and turned to the other side of the bed, looking if I would see my mate laying there to at least soften my heart, but he wasn't.
The bed was still as tidy as it was before I slept, meaning he never came up stairs. I quickly went to the dining room and it was a mess. All the dirty plates were left there after eating.
I had to pack them up because it was a disgusting sight. As I did, I picked up Debby's panties, which were laying on the table. I knew she probably forgot it or left it there for me to see on purpose. She never shied off any chance to show she was the better person. That was an obvious proof that they did more than just eat here.
I totally lost it as I felt overwhelmed. The disrespect was now getting so much that he wasn't hiding it anymore.
I had to still maintain my calmness. I waited until evening for him to return, so I would tell him it was over and I wasn't continuing with the mating ceremony to officially become his mate.
He didn't come back home however. I put calls through multiple times and he didn't answer.
When I couldn't wait again, I had to pack my things myself and go back home, to my aunt's place. I knew what she said about me not leaving him, but I was sure that when I explained my full story, my predicament to her, she would understand and even console me.
Things were however different when I got there. When I knocked on the door, Shona opened and gave a heavy sigh when she saw it was me.
“Please let me in.” I asked politely, but she turned the other way, blocking the entrance even worse.
“Why won't you let me in?” I asked. I was expecting to hear an answer, but I heard right from the inside. “Who is there?!” My aunty asked.
“It's me, Aunty.” Before I could complete the word, it was cut short by Shona. “It's this useless Kassy.” She said,
I could hear trembles as my aunty ran out of the house as soon as she heard it was me. When she came out, she looked around and didn't see what she was expecting. Turns out, she didn't come out for me.
“Where is he?” she asked me. I also looked around, confused for a while.
“Who?”
“The Alpha, dummy!”
“I didn't come with him.” I told her. “You know how things are between us aunty. I know you're feeling angry that I called off the mating ceremony, but I have my reasons and if you'll just hear me….” I didn't finish talking when I heard a slap swoosh through my face.
“How can you be so petty and foolish at the same time?” She asked me.
I was still trying to understand why she did that, when she landed another one of my cheeks, this one harder than the first.
“Alpha Gerald came here earlier today to report what you have been doing to him. Being a violent mate and harassing the female pack members he works with? Nagging him every night and day, denying him peace of mind and making his home a living hell? Is that how I raised you?!” She yelled at me.
Gerald had stopped by and downloaded all the lies on his head to my aunty and she obviously believed him. At this point, there was nothing that I was going to say, which would make sense.
“How can you play with such opportunities that would change our lives for good. We are nothing but omegas, the least on the scale and can only level up with the Alpha by our side. Why don't you understand this?”
“Heyy, bring all her stuff outside. She's not staying here. You either go back to your mate or you sleep on the street.” She added before leaving for inside.
In no time, my things were thrown outside. The rain soaked my and my belongings for over an hour before Gerald finally pulled up in his Jeep.
As much as I was not happy with him, I needed that shelter now.
“I hope you have regained your wisdom.” He said as he pushed me into the car.
“You must publicly apologize for all this mess you have caused and promise to be peaceful again if you remain my Luna.” He said to me as he drove off.
I remained quiet, too cold to say anything. He drove straight to the Pack's gala ball, where there was obviously a party. “This is a very important ball and I want you to be my escort.”
I was shocked at this and excited too. He actually wanted to go out with me. That hadn't happened in a while.
“Go home and change up. I can't have you looking like this by my side.” He said rudely. I had to obey his plea. On my way out, I saw Debby entering the scene. I wondered how she was going to get in when it was an “enter as a couple” event.
In no time, I found myself in one of my best dresses and returned to the ball, but the door was closed.
“Let me in, I am with the Alpha.” I told the guard. “I am sorry ma'am. The order was to lock the door immediately after 10pm.
I was surprised. “Who gave such orders?” I asked. “Alpha Gerald ma'am. Right after he went inside with Beta Debby.”
I could not believe what I just heard. Once again, he made a fool out of me.
