AMY'S POV
I couldn't believe my eyes as I stood frozen in front of my mate's bedroom. He was driving his dick into some she wolf without even noticing my presence.
My heart was wrenching in pain and tears filled my eyes, seeing the man who had promised to give me the world, shamelessly sleeping with another woman in a bed we used to lay and cuddle together an hour after my father's funeral ended.
Derek finally finished with his whore before his eyes landed on me. They widened in shock as he jumped away from the she-wolf on the bed.
He quickly grabbed the bed sheets to cover himself as he gave an apologetic look. “Amy, what are you doing here? I thought you were going to be with your mom after the funeral.”
“Really, Derek?” I stared at him in disbelief as I tried to stop the tears from falling. “That's the first thing you are going to say to me?”
He rushed forward and tried to hold my hand but I stepped away from him. “I swear, it's not what it looks like.”
“Oh, okay,” I nodded with a sarcastic smile. “Then explain to me what this is since it isn't what it looks like.”
Derek looked back and forth between me and her as his mouth opened and closed like a fish.
“Cat got your tongue?” I raised my eyebrows at him. “Why aren't you explaining yourself?”
He went down on his knees and held my feet. “Amy, it was a mistake. I swear I didn't mean to. You are the only one I love, she means nothing to me.”
Lair.
I kicked his hand off me and stepped back. “How can you claim you love me and sleep with another woman?” I shouted at him. “Aren't you ashamed of yourself?”
“Come on, Amy. I'm really sorry, let's just forget about this.” He looked up at him and I couldn't see any guilt in his eyes.
“Forget about it?” I furrowed my eyebrows.
He stood up to match my stares. “I know I made a mistake but you are going to be my wife and future Luna in two months, we can't let things like this get in between us.” He took my hand in his. “You have always been excited to stand by my side when I succeed my father as the Alpha of the Rainwood Pack, you shouldn't let this ruin that.”
I yanked my hands away from his. “Get your filthy hands off me.” I raised my voice at him. “I can't believe someone as shameless as you is going to become the Alpha of this pack one day. The Pack deserves so much better and I definitely deserve better than this.”
I didn’t care what would happen but there was no way I would marry Derek.
Being a part of the Wellington family and becoming the Luna of this pack was every she-wolf of Rainwood's dream but I was the lucky girl who came close to fulfilling that dream when I found out Derek was my fated mate when I turned eighteen and had my first shift.
Our relationship has been going well for the past two years and we finally decided to get married in two months. Never in my life did I imagine I was going to catch him cheating on me.
There was no way I would marry a man who can't even be loyal to me, his fated mate. Even if we get married, I know his family would always support him because he is their only son and Alpha heir.
They won't take the side of an outsider like me over their precious son.
But at the same time, I would be a laughing stock among the she-wolves if the wedding got called off. They had always believed a low class girl like me doesn't deserve to be Luna.
Either way, I would be the one suffering the consequences.
‘What are we going to do?’ Lexie, my wolf asked in my head. ‘I can't even stand the sight of him right now, not to talk of marrying him and spending the rest of my life with him.’
Derek interrupted my thoughts. “Amy, I know your emotions are all over the place because of your father's sudden death. Why don't you go home and rest, then we can talk about this tomorrow?”
I glared at him and clenched my fist at my side. “You're right. I can't deal with this right now, and I don't want to deal with it ever. We are done.”
I turned to walk away from him but he held my hand to stop me. “We are mates, Amy. You can't just end our relationship just like that when our wedding is coming up. I'm sure you'll change your mind when you calm down.”
Instead of responding to him, I yanked my hand away from him and walked away without looking back. At that moment, all the love and affection I had for him died, replaced with anger and regret for giving him two years of my life.
I knew I would face consequences for cancelling the wedding but I rather used my remaining strands of dignity to walk away from such disloyalty and disrespect.
On my way back to my parents house, I tried not to break down on the road. I needed to clear my head, so I walked most of the distance for an hour before finally taking a bus for the rest of the journey.
I stopped in front of our old house and tears filled my house when I remembered that I won't be seeing my father anymore. The house wouldn't be the same without him.
My mother was definitely feeling worse for losing her mate and husband to an unknown sickness. We had spent all the money we had trying to save him but everything was all in vain as he died three days ago.
In the midst of these, I thought I would find comfort in my mate but all he did was stab me in my already open wound.
As I was about to enter the house, I forced a smile on my face, hoping to comfort my mom. She was already in a terrible state and I was the only one she had left. It was my job to comfort her and be by her side now.
“Mom,” I called the moment I walked into the living room but there was no response.
My senses instantly caught something burning in the kitchen and I quickly rushed inside. The scene before me caused me to freeze on my spot.
“Mom!!!!” I screamed when I finally recovered from my shock.
