Ayla's pov
My eyes bore into Carla, demanding answers. "Why is Calyx texting you? Answer me, Carla!" I yelled, but she didn't even flinch.As I glared at her, the fact that she doesn't even look shaken baffled me. What is wrong with me? Why am I having such dark thoughts about my sister?"Hand me back my phone," she snapped, irritation coloring her voice. I hesitated, conflicted by mixed feelings. Since when did they maintain such a relationship? Carla had never hidden her dislike for Calyx.Brrrrrrg… Brrrrrrg…The sudden beep of my phone shook me from my thoughts. I retrieved it from my pocket, eyes fixed on the caller ID.“It's Calyx,” I mumbled. My gaze remained on Carla as I answered. “Hey.” the word eased out of my lips dryly.“I'm sorry for keeping you out, Ayla. I promise I was caught up with something important,” he explained.“You don't have to apologize for that, I heard.” I said in one short breath, relieving him of the stress of explanating.“Great! Then this is a good time. I'll text you a location; please meet me there in an hour.”“Alright, babe.” The call ended. Taking my eyes back to Clara, a swarm of guilt washed down my tongue.Guilt washed over me as I handed Carla her phone. "I'm sorry," I muttered, but she angrily snatched it from my hand.“Since when-” I began, but she cut me off. “Please leave.” I complied, and gently shut her door for her.I stood in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection. I smoothed down the fabric of my dress, a smile playing on my lips. It was hard to believe that just a few months ago, I had been a normal wolf and now I am about to become the new Luna.I took a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves. In a few days the current alpha would be stepping down and Calyx would be crowned the new Alpha, and we would be married. Everything I had ever dreamed of was coming true.“You will make a good Luna, Ayla.” I smiled at my reflection in the mirror.But something was nagging at the back of my mind. I couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. I turned away from the mirror, trying to focus on the positive.Calyx and I were meant to be together, I know that with every fiber of my being. But still, the doubt lingered.Beep.. beep..I heard my phone beep and picked it up. Calyx just texted me where to meet, I had better hurry up with my dress and go to the place.A thought occurred to me and I decided to go ahead with it. Since I'm having cold feets about meeting Calyx, let me stroll into the market and get chocolates, even the smell of it will flush those misleading thoughts away.I hurried up with my dress and walked into the shop but even as I took a bite from the chocolate bar the damned ill feeling never left.I guess this is a result of me always worrying over nothing. For days now I've noticed my mate's bond with Calyx has been weak. I find difficulty connecting with him and each time I bring this up he always blames it on my overthinking.But honestly, I do overthink alot and it's all because I can't imagine life without Calyx in it. I mean how would I end up if there's no Calyx in my story? He's been unusually busy and always promises to make it up to me yet nothing happens, but I guess now that the news for his irregular behavior is out then we can spend quality time together again.I won't lie. I was scared to the bones when I saw his text on Carla's phone. If he was that busy would he have the chance to text her?My texts are piled all over his phone and I spent hours waiting for him. A single ‘I'm sorry can't make it’ would have been okay but he didn't do that!“Is this the devil messing with my brains? Arghh!” I took the frustration out on my hair and let out a sigh.I still have a lot of time but my head's messing with me, I definitely can't wait for an hour, I just want to meet Calyx now else I would pass out from this torture.I took a pivot turn and headed to his house. As I got to his place I reminded myself of how happy he would be. It's obvious he's preparing a surprise for me with the way he sounded on the phone, he's probably planning something and might have involved my sister in the planning.My heart churned with excitement as I hurried through the stairs but I had to stop as I glimpsed something really shocking.I stop to take a closer look and I'm surprised to see the exact type of slippers I gifted my sister, they are really rare slippers and I've never seen them elsewhere. I try to dismiss the thought but it keeps getting in the way so I decided to just take a final look.I stared at the slippers carefully placed beneath the door side. My eyes are definitely playing tricks on me, right?“But why are these slippers looking so familiar? Like the ones I bought for Carla?” I blurted out.The shock was still registered on my face and I wasn't done digesting that, when I started hearing tiny voices. As I pressed my ear to the door, I could hear giglings and hand movements coming from Calyx's room.The noise became so loud that I became really interested in whatever was going on in the room. I could hear sounds of bed thumping against the wall, giving out creaking noise and then hard thrusts and moans filled my ear.I looked around my surroundings to be sure I wasn't mistaken, that I was really standing at Calyx’s door and hell yes, I was!My shock deepened as the unmistakable sounds of intimacy filled the air.“This can't be,” I whispered. Disbelief overwhelmed me as I wrapped my hand around the doorknob.My heart pounded in my chest as I turned the doorknob and pushed the door open. Already, my head was running wild with so many thoughts, so I didn't think twice about letting myself in.But as the door swung open, I was greeted with a sight I never could have imagined. There was Calyx, lying on the bed with Carla, my sister.They were both naked, and clearly in the midst of an intimate moment.Time seemed to slow down as I took in the scene before me. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. The shock and betrayal were overwhelming, and I felt as if the world was crashing down around me.My sister, of all people! The person who was supposed to have my back, who was supposed to be my confidante and best friend. Instead, she had betrayed me in the worst possible way.I started feeling nauseous."How could you?" I whispered, my voice trembling.Calyx and Carla both looked up in shock, clearly not expecting to be caught. But it was too late - the damage had been done. The trust between us have been shattered, and I knew I would never be able to forgive them.Calyx caught off guard, stammered. "Ayla, I -"“Don't fucking lie to me, Calyx!” I cut him off, my trust shattered beyond repair.Ayla's povMy life was crashing right before my eyes but all I could do was stand and watch with beady eyes, a man I had loved and cared for all my life in bed with my little sister?It still appeared like a movie to me. It was as if I was draped into a painful situation and it was all just a prank. To scare me. But my eyes know what they saw, what was his reason? Why would he after so many months cheat on me like this?Questions took control of my being, filling me with all sorts of thoughts. As I approach them, hot tears scattered in my eyes, blurring my vision.“Oh, you timing bastard! Here I was wondering why our mate bond is becoming so weak not knowing you were busy fucking my sister!!” I fired at Calyx.“Lower your voice, Ayla!” He rasped, not even feeling an ounce of shame.My eyes welled up in surprise, “I am shouting? Did you just say I should lower my voice?!” I was literally screaming and at this point I could definitely lose my voice but I didn't care, I just wanted to ge
Ayla's povI ran till I could no longer feel my legs but I couldn't stop running. I didn't even know where I was going, all that was in my head was “run” and I just kept on running till my breath began to break.I dropped to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.All my life was a lie.All of it!I have been living a lie all these while, thinking I got people behind me meanwhile I got nobody.It was enough torture to walk in on my boyfriend making out with my little sister and now I just discovered I'm a hybrid?“Pfft!”How could I have known I have been living such a pathetic life, the ones I have known all my life to be my beloved parents are my foster parents and nobody has bothered to tell me this? Worse still I learned it from the trashy lips of that snitching bitch I called my sister.Just fucking kill me!“Arghhhh!!!!” I screamed at the top of my voice, pounding the ground mercilessly, with my bare fist.How could I not have seen this happening? It was going on right under my nose
Ayla’s POVI was still lying on the bed with my eyes fixed on the ceiling when I started hearing distant sounds. My attention now divided, causing me to creep out of bed to find out what was making those sounds.Walking out of the room, I was about to mutter a 'hello’ when I recognized the voice to be that of my parents. It seems they just got back, they'd better not see my teary eyes.Already making a U-turn, I made my way back to the room but stopped midway as I heard my name. “Good evening dad, mom.” I threw them some greetings and was about to walk out again when my dad broke the silence.“We were just about to get you, your mother and I are just returning from the pack house and we have good news.” Mr Jacobs relayed excitedly.“I'm sorry to cut your excitement short..” I turned to face them, “Calyx rejected me and I have accepted his rejection.” I say in the calmest tone I know. And I watched all the excitement fall from their faces as they gawked at me with puzzled looks.“What
Ayla's povMy feet were starting to ache, but I paid little attention; I was determined to wait for Calyx. To pass the time, I decided to amuse myself by playing with the pebbles scattered on the river bank. Kicking them around proved tiresome, so I glanced at my watch, muttering, "It's almost 6 pm, what's keeping him?" I scanned the area, hoping to catch a glimpse of him.Calyx and I had been childhood sweethearts, our bond has been strong even before we obtained our wolves. With both of us hailing from influential families in the Silver Moon pack, we were the envy of all. My father is the beta of my pack and I'm mated to the Alpha's son.We have dated for a few months and those were the best days of my life.Earlier today I had received a call from Calyx, asking us to meet at the river bank. He mentioned that he had something important to tell me and I was so eager to hear it. But it's exactly two hours now and I've not seen a shadow of him.“Ogh…”A tired yawn escaped me, I really
