~Sienna’s POV~
My hair stood on end, a shiver raced down my spine, and a lump came to my throat. It was Austin, my mate.
"You're great, baby!"
My hand crumpled the wedding dress in my hold, my feet were rooted to the ground as their distinct moans came out louder, and my eyes went over to the door that was partly opened.
“…argh.” She tried not to moan, but her grunts were loud enough as the bed squeaked with each movement. Her legs wrapped around his back and beads of perspiration rippled down his bare back.
“Ssh.” He whispered behind her ears with a deep thrust, and her lips parted and her eyes shut.
“Tomorrow is your mating ceremony...” Her eyes opened for a brief moment. “So what?” He scoffed with slightly furrowed brows.
She threw her head over at the pillow with tears in her eyes and her breath was getting a bit shaky.
“Deeper!!” She moaned, her fingers digging into his back.
"Ah - Cheryl! I'm going to cum!"
"Kill them!!!" My wolf growls, and my hands clenched my chest, I squeeze my hands over it and hit them lightly with my fist. It took a while for my breathing to finally calm down.
"Calm down, Lana. l'll handle it." I tried to soothe my wolf, but I was actually still trembling...
I wiped the tears off and pushed the door open.
“What on earth are you doing?” My voice quivered and my hands trembled at the door knob. Clothes sprawled on the floor, about five, and a pair of black shoes. Austin jerked back away from her and hurried to take up his black pants and slide them over his legs.
"Ah..." Cheryl screamed at my sudden appearance. Austin, who was on the sidelines, was obviously scared as well.
“Sienna?” He called my name as if to confirm if I was me...
Cheryl came down from the bed, and took her dress from the floor, she avoided my gaze.
“…it’s not what you think.” Austin showed up in front of me trying to defend himself.
“So?” I drew in a sharp breath.
“I... This is a misunderstanding!” He pulled me into an embrace before a tear could fall from my eyes.
“Misunderstanding?” My numb arm pushed him away, he staggered away from me.
I turned to look at my stepsister, who was looking at me with red eyes and an aggrieved face.
"What about you? What do you want to say?" I did my best to calm myself down and asked my stepsister.
“Sis, I can explain…” She sniffed and held my gaze, her eyes were glistening with tears.
“Sis, I'm not your sister! Also, you're just as bitchy as your mother! Only fuck other people's mates! Bitch!” I yelled at her, Lana was vexed, she was holding back not ripping out her face and pulling out her hair.
“Sis...Sienna, I’m not…” Tears streamed down her face as she cried softly.
“I…I can’t believe this is what you think of me.” Her face got sticky with her tears and she turned to Austin with a side glance.
“What should I think of you? A hooker?” I chuckled bitterly with my hands folded. She's always like this, playing the victim in front of everyone, but in reality? She's always the one who hurts people!
“Yes! She's the bitch! It was all her plan, she seduced me.” He points a finger at her.
Heh, how funny! If I hadn't seen the whole time they were intensely in love, I would have almost believed his plea.
“Sienna, listen to me, I love you. I truly do love you. Can’t you see I’m the victim here!” He stressed out and took my hands in his.
The performance is really good!
“Austin, how could you say that, I’m still right here! How?” Cheryl could only cry with a pity face.
"I don't love you! I only love..."
"That's enough!" I was fed up with the hypocrisy of it all, and my yelling succeeded in putting an end to the farce. They looked at me quietly, as if waiting for my pronouncement, then it seemed I should satisfy them and fulfill their love...
“Listen. I, Sienna Edward, reject you as my mate. Accept my rejection, Austin.”
“No!” He yelled abruptly, and his hands tightened on mine.
“I won’t accept it!” He growled at me, I tried to wriggle free from his hold. I saw the hurt in his eyes when I said those words, his wolf was pained.
“Let go of me!” I screamed at him, but he won’t budge.
“I won’t let you reject me! I’m your mate and I’ll still be your mate!” I forcefully pulled his hands off, freeing myself from his grips.
"Sienna! His wolf is contacting me! Woohoo!"
I could hear Lana’s cries within me, this was for us. I would not let him treat me this way, I was the first daughter of the alpha, and I refused to be treated this way.
“Austin…..” I tried to speak, I was getting angry and frustrated, but he hurried past me and out of the room.
“YOU!” I turned and was about to go after him when my father and stepmother came in.
“Sienna!” My father, Edward Parker, the alpha of the Blue Moon Pack, also the Alpha King from now.
"What are you doing?!" He questioned me in his usual commanding tone.
"I'm settling my own affairs. I'm rejecting the betrayer! Isn't that obvious?!" To him, I didn't even bother to explain.
“NO WAY! You can not reject Austin now, the mating ceremony is tomorrow!”
“What!” I half yelled.He must be kidding!
“The mating ceremony is the most important.” He growled at me, Lana whimpered at the sound of his deep growl, father was not a weak wolf, and he was too, intimidating. I will only lose if I clash with him...
"The ceremony is important, the guests are important... What about me? I'm not important at all, am I?" I asked my father rhetorically, and he was only silent to my question...
His hands were on my shoulders, trying to speak some sense into me. I stared at those hands, I chewed on my lower lips. I could not believe he was saying this to me.
"Answer me! What about me?! I've been betrayed!" I shouted.
“Don't be too selfish” His voice was firm.
“I’m being selfish?” I protested, that was what he had to say to me. I couldn’t believe he was the same man I heard this is for me!
"Why don't you understand! She is your sister! Do you think people only scold her?! What about me! What about yourself!" He kept trying to convince me, but I was just shocked that my father, who didn't care about me...
“… Sienna dear.” My stepmother, Hera. Her voice made me tilt my neck to the other side and gave her a slanted look. She held Cheryl close to her bosom and pled.
“Shut up! Don't call me!” I muttered.
Her eyes flickered with hurt.
“You will not talk to your mother like that and she’s the Luna! Show some respect.” Father chimed in and stepped in front.
“The Luna is dead and that’s my mother and there’s no other!” I refused to accept her, the woman who turned my father against me and made me feel like an outcast in my own home.
“I just wanted to apologize to you...” She came in between father and I. Tears began to stream out of her eyes.
Fake. Mothers and daughters are really the same good actors.
"You..." I was about to expose her false mask when I was interrupted by my father's rant...
“Sienna!” Father growled furiously at me.
“You know, what I decide is not to be violated!” He added calmly as if he knew what he’s done.
Yeah, I know that. No one has ever been able to disobey his orders...
Do I really have to marry the man who betrayed me...
