Cara POV
I didn’t know if Jake forgot that today was our anniversary, probably not, maybe he just wanted to surprise me, but this time I wanted to be the first to prepare something special for him so I had left work far earlier than normal heading home to cook his favourite dish and decorate the house. I and Jake had been in a relationship for four years now and I had this feeling that finally he would propose, I knew that his excuse for the past years was that he wanted to find a good job so we both won’t live in poverty but I didn’t mind working hard to support the family, I’ve already began planning some little business I would do to help out. I had a bright smile on my face when I walked in to the house I shared with Jake. But there was something strange. The door wasn’t locked; I was sure I locked it before I went to work and Jake wasn't to be back home to much later; I walked in but then I saw laying on the floor a female purse; it didn’t belong to me, I picked it up confused, did Jake buy this for me?, but then I saw the bra and panties laying on the floor, which also didn’t belong to me. Then I heard the sounds. “Fuck, harder Jake” A girl from up the stairs moaned out, my brain wasn’t processing anything as I walked up the stairs, to our room, the same room I shared with Jake and there they were, he had a red-haired girl bent over as he fucked her, their moans filling the room. “Fuck baby, yes” He growled as he pounded into her and I stood there, shocked, confused, so much feelings all at once. I did recognise the girl, she was supposed to be Jake’s ex-girlfriend. I couldn’t move an inch, it was like me feet wouldn't cooperate with the rest of my body anymore, the pain built up in my chest, exploding through my whole body, he had told me he loved me, that we would live together, that we would have the happily ever after that had always been my dreams, he made promises to me and staring at the both of them, I still can’t believe my eyes, I and Jake had been friends since we were little, I always loved him but was afraid to show my feelings, finally when I did, I was so happy to discover he loved me back, but now watching the both of them on the same bed we made love, I wonder what the hell had been going on between the both of us all these years because it was clear that it hadn’t been love. Finally, he noticed me and flung off the bed. “Oh shit, this is not what is seems like Cara, please hear me out!” Finally, I could move and I raced down the stair, tears dripping down my eyes, I hadn’t even realised when I began crying, but all I feel is pain, it hurts, I loved him with my all, there was just nobody else, not even in my dreams, he had always been the man I loved; I was ready to sacrifice everything and anything for him and it hurts that I had only been the one in the bubble, all those times I had gone out to work my ass out to make sure he was happy, I never knew he didn’t love me, that was the reason he never wanted to marry me and the truth hurts. “Please Cara, wait!” he called out as he finally got hold of me and I turned to him, but I couldn’t look him in the eyes. He was a disgrace. “Get those filthy hands off me, you cock-sucking bitch. How could you!” I cried out unable to hold the tears, “How could you do this to me Jake, I trusted you, I gave you every single thing, I loved you Jake, how could you break my heart like this, I thought you loved me, I thought you were the one person in this world who cares...”
“I do love you, it was a mistake, please give me a chance to show you that this is not the person I am” he says but when I look in his eyes I don’t see it, I don’t see the love, I don’t see regret, all these while, I had been the blind one, I had fallen into his trap, I had loved him for the most of my life and maybe it was the desperation that blinded me from the fact that he only wanted to use me.
“Give you a chance?, you lied to me Jake, I never questioned your disappearance, you never left your ex-girlfriend did you? You claim it's a mistake, but it will only be considered a mistake if someone catches you. How many times Jake, How many times did you cheat on me?” I asked, tears flooding down my eyes, I couldn't think, it was all like a dream, it was just... too much.“I can..” “How many fucking times!” I screamed out to him, the urge to hit something very strong and I was never the physical type, I wanted to hurt him, I wanted him to feel even a portion of what I was feeling now. I watch my dreams scatter to pieces. From the look in his eyes, I knew the answer. He had cheated on me far more than he could count. I had come to surprise him for our anniversary, only to find him fucking his ex-girlfriend. “Did you ever love me?, or was I just another desperate girl on your list?” I ask, I needed to know if all this years I had been dreaming, if I had been the fool all these years, all that went on between us couldn't be a lie, it just couldn't be, had all those words he had said to me been the same words he repeated to every other unfortunate girl that he managed to trap in his web of lies?. The few seconds of silence he takes to answer the question is enough for me to know the answer. "Of course I love you, I always did"“You really are an asshole, go back to your bitch, you both deserve each other,” I say to him as I walk out of the door. This time, he didn’t follow.I ran down the street; the tears blinding my vision, my heart in shreds. Just a few minutes ago, I had entered into the house optimistic. I foolishly thought he wanted to propose to me finally. I should be grateful that I didn't get married to a cheat like him but with the pain am feeling right now, common reasoning seems like the most complex thing.
I fell to my knees when I could run no more and I screamed out, yet I the pain wouldn't stop. Maybe I just wasn't good enough.(Cara POV) “He is a total dick,” Sophia cursed out. “How could he do that to you?” “Maybe I’m not beautiful enough,” I say, shrugging as if that statement didn’t hurt or bother me when it really did. “No, I won’t let you stay here all day crying over him because he sure as hell doesn’t deserve your tears and I know a way to cool you out. Let’s go to a club. You find a man and spend a night with him” I rolled my eyes. Sophia was my friend, but our lifestyles were two words apart. She believed alcohol and sex could cure anything, but I wasn’t in the mood for a party right now let alone meeting with another man. “And how would going to the club and finding a man help me? I don’t need that right now Sophy, I just need to give myself a few hours of sleep and rest” “No Cara, he treated you like garbage, you are doing this to tell yourself that you are far ahead of him, he don’t get to make you a mess why he goes fuck a whore on the bed you two shared, fuck him Cara, now I want you to
(Cara POV) “What the hell Cara?, there better be a very good reason to why you made me miss that night I was day dreaming to have with Ken” Sophia said with an unmistakable edge to her voice, she really was furious that I spoiled the fun for her, I bet she was regretting bringing me over to the club. “So you even remember his name, that means you did like this dude” “Of course, good thing I was able to get his phone number. So tell me you at least got hottie's number to at least” “No, I didn’t... when I was like lap dancing I think he growled” “That’s a good thing.. some do that,” Sophia argued, “It means he likes it” “No, he growled like some kind of animal. He did it the first time and then the second” “Darling, that’s why is not advisable to drink that so much you know, considering that you don’t drink a lot... or at all, but I’m glad you seemed to have forgotten about Jake even if it was for this few hours” “No, I knew what I heard, and he was like ‘mine’. He actually cal
CHAPTER FOUR(Cara's POV)I couldn't help but laugh, waiting for him to join in and tell me that this was all a joke; what else could it be? He was standing here, telling me about wolves; wolves didn't exist, but I had seen him disappear and appear right in front of me.He doesn't find anything funny, and he just stares at me, like I'm the alien."I'm glad you took this lightly. I packed the things I thought you would need up in your room. Pick them up and let's get going."He was serious; he was a lunatic, and he wanted to take me to some pack, which might not even exist. Why the hell did I go for him out of all the men in the bar? But he was right; it was because I was drawn to him in a very strange way—something about him, those dark emerald eyes—a venus fly trap designed to allure me and then swallow me up.He was dangerous; everything about him screamed danger. I had to escape, and again I tried dashing towards the door. This time he let me run; he let me bust through the door an
CHAPTER FIVE(Cara's POV)I didn't think Alpha Rollins was the only freak in this vehicle because here I was, actually believing that wolves exist, how pathetic, but there was no other way to explain the speed and his ability to read my mind. I should be afraid; he was about to capture me, maybe take me away, but for some reasons, I wasn't. On the contrary, I was allured by it all—his beauty, so strange, so unique, I couldn't be blamed. Any other girl would fall right on their knees to have a guy like Rollins chasing after them. That leads me to the question that had been on my mind since I first saw him. Why me?Alpha Rollins hands trailed up and around my body. He seemed starved, like I could only give him this, but that has to be wrong. I wasn't the prettiest girl, and I bet he could have any other, but then why me? Was this all like some kind of trap? It was risky to let a man like Rollins in. I was treading on a dangerous path, and still yet I couldn't turn back. I loved the way
(Cara's POV)It's starting to bother me. We were in the middle of the woods, and I didn't see any houses close by. I wondered where exactly Alpha Rollins mysterious pack is."We can't take the car to the pack," he says."So you'll just abandon the car here?" I was confused."No, someone would pick it up; don't worry about it."The car looked really expensive, and I wondered how he wouldn't care about leaving it behind; anything could happen."So we are going to walk, like on feet?""No, we are going to run; come with me," he says, taking my hands and leading me deeper into the woods, where I spotted Lucian and Teo.Alpha Rollins hands slipped away from mine, and I suddenly felt so alone and out of place, especially with the look Lucian gave me. I was forced to look down to my feet, avoiding his eyes and he scoffed, walking away into the woods."What's up with him?" I asked no one in particular."He could be like that sometimes." The Teo answered, I didn't think he was being completely
(Cara's POV)"You must like me reaping your clothes off, don't you?" he asked, and I shivered."First, I want to ask you a question.""No more question; I want you, and I want you to cooperate... or we could do it my way," he says, and despite the warning in his statement, I secretly wanted to know what his way looked like."If you want me to cooperate, then you have to cooperate. I've been on my best behavior since I arrived here, and this is the least you could do."I actually think he would take off my clothes and get them over with, but he doesn't. "You have two minutes; what is your question?" he asked."The girl... the blonde down stairs""Emmaline? What about her?""I want to know what has been going on between the both of you.""That's none of your business", he says, suddenly furious, and I flinch. His eyes soften. "You don't need to worry about her", he corrects."What do you say I am to you?""My mate""Mates, aren't they like partners? I don't like her, and from the way s
(Cara's POV)I didn't know what I expected after what went on between us last night.Okay, maybe I knew what I expected. I expected him to be here, on bed, lying next to me. I expected to feel his kisses, hot and rough on my skin, but he wasn't here. He was gone right before I woke up. I was the cheap slut who gave him my body without a thought. Maybe it was due to what had happened between me and Jake and I needed to be remembered that I could be loved... It wasn't that though, there was this strange and sick attraction I had towards him and when he said he felt the same, I was in cloud nine.I couldn't stop the tears. What was I thinking?I pushed off the covers, I noticed that I was naked, I had let him reap off my clothes last night and none of my stuff was here now. Still I decided to take a quick search in the bathroom. Nothing. Except his clothes.. oh, well. I picked one of his shirts, long enough to cover me, thick enough to hide my nipples, it stopped mid thigh, way too big fo
(Cara's POV)Walking inside the dining room, I didn't expect what I saw; it was a damn full house. I envisioned a table with just Alpha and me, but there were about thirty people seated there on the very long table, all dinning together and chatting- till I came in of course.Everything stopped; they stared at me like I was a monkey. Stop thinking about that; Teo was only joking. What if he wasn't? ... he called you beautiful. What if he was only saying that?I felt unsure of myself, but Teo was beside me."Come on, Luna." I didn't miss it; he had called me Cara back then and Luna now, the title made me feel weird like there was font I had to keep on, like there were so much expectations to be met.Even as he led me, I could see every gaze following me. I noticed he avoided holding my hands and even stayed a little distance from me. I knew why. Alpha Rollins was here, and I felt the anger rising again. He had left me on the bed after the sex we had. I guess it didn't mean anything to h
