Betrayal Unveiled

Chapter 3

"Wait till you meet your mate; trust me, your love for Mirabel won't compare to the one you will have with your mate."

"I won't love my mate; she'll never be Mirabel."

Bringing the cigarette up to my mouth, I consider what Johnson stated. I still love Mirabel, even though he's correct in certain other areas. I have spent my entire life with this person, and I can't give them up for someone I don't know.

I'm aware that I shouldn't have fallen in love with her. However, I believe I'm in too deep now and cannot get out.

You are aware that you don't love her.

She matters to me.

Then quit pretending to be in love with her when you're not!

Henry, I do and always will adore her.

Await your meeting with our companion.

Mirabel is the one person I love.

Really? So why did you dance filthy with Lucia? If you "love" Mirabel, why did you feel the need to be with her?

It was an error.

I know you would take her to your bed faster than you could blink if you went in there right now.

That is untrue.

Blaine, you're deceiving yourself; just bide your time.

I stopped paying attention to him after that.

Mirabel needs to see me.

She is the one person who can make me feel less stressed and anxious. She listens to me and views me as a normal person rather than an alpha.

Goddess, I'm so in love with her.

I dash to my car and head as quickly as I can to her residence.

We'll disprove everyone. And Mirabel.

I take the key that I was given by Lorenzo's, slide it into the lock, and turn. I always feel at ease when I walk into their house. This place's constant vanilla scent always calms me. "Yes, Mirabel, just like that!"

How the hell about it?

The floor is trembling, the bed is creaking, and Mirabel and a man are moaning.

As I ascend the stairs, I hope that all of this is only in my imagination and that the girl I've been in love with for so long isn't having an affair with a man. My poor ass is out here with a man who obviously isn't me.

I get to Mirabel's chamber. The place where we had spoken about the future and our shared plans for it for so long.

Mirabel questioned, "What should we name our kids?"

"Kharis for a girl, maybe as a middle name."

"I love that," she answered.

I didn't even try to emphasize that we wouldn't be having children if we didn't end up together. But she would be my partner. I was aware of it.

The stench of sex slaps me in the face as soon as I open the door. Mirabel appears to be enjoying the time of her life, as she is having a great time with a man. Her eyes meet mine, a sorrowful look lighting up her face.

I yank her from his grasp and begin striking him.

His face would soon be covered in ugly bruises and turn purple. His nose is dripping with blood, and I think I may have knocked out a tooth.

I apologize.

"You dare to disrespect your alpha!"

He knows that he won't make it through this, so he cockily smiles and tries to keep his eyes open.

He struggles to say the words, "It was worth it," out of his broken mouth.

"You bastard!"

My fist still presses across his face. His visage changed from a light white to a dark purple tinted with blood's scarlet hue.

"Blaine!" Mirabel yells at me from behind.

My wolf becomes so furious that not even Mirabel's cries of desperation can stop it.

She is nude, her knees trembling, and her eyes shiny. Her expression is one of disdain, but terror is what really stands out, as she looks at me like I'm a monster.

"How were you able to? You almost murdered him!"

"He slept with you knowing what he was getting himself into; cease the antics, would you please?"

"You abomination!" She expresses astonishment and hatred in her remarks.

"Mirabel I'm an alpha; I don't take this sh*t lightly."

"You're not yet an alpha! I'm amazed that I ever loved such a monster as you."

"Maybe you didn't know me at all, because I've always been this way."

"I detest you! I detest you!"

"Don't talk to me again, Mirabel; don't even breathe near me!"

"It's all your fault! This would not have occurred if you had simply remained faithful and refrained from engaging in inappropriate sexual behavior with strangers."

"I was dependable! And because I just happened to walk in on you riding a man's dick, don't even bring up loyalty with me!"

"I did it for revenge!"

"What fucking retaliation are you seeking? I took no action at all! I hardly danced with her at all!"

"I wonder whether she tempted you. And you were unable to help but reach out and touch her! "Enough!" "Wait till I get my hands on her!"

"Or, Blaine, what? Will you kill me in the same manner as the monster you are?"

"I cherish you! Mirabel, I wouldn't harm you!"

"If you loved me, you wouldn't have danced with some random slut, but of course you did, like the man whore you are!"

I am enraged by her characterization of Lucia as a slut and a whore.

"Dancing and fucking aren't even on the same spectrum, Mirabel!"

"I have no regrets at all! Her eyes sparkle with triumph. "He made sure to make me feel so good!" she said. I had eyes I couldn't believe. How could Mirabel Lorenzo, the loveliest person I've ever encountered, have the ability to do something so hateful? It resembled staring at an unknown person.

"If you don't want me to fucking kill you right now, Mirabel, you better shut your damn mouth!"

Mirabel refused to show my wolf the respect he so rightfully demanded. The expression in her eyes was pure terror. It was an alpha drug—the terror that was ingrained in others. I adored it because it fueled their drive to be superior and gave them a sense of power.

"You are not my mate; you will never be my mate, and quite frankly, I don't give a shite about who you sleep with because I don't care about you any more than a pack member!"

"I-I." As soon as I felt my body regaining control, I pushed ahead.

"I'm going to make your life a living hell, Mirabel, and don't you forget it."

When I'm through, Satan is going to start requesting tips from me.
