Chapter 2 Chapter 2 A miracle

Aurora

"Theodore. Please, you're my last hope." I whispered as I pushed the door open, I walked inside, shocked to see the living room empty.

Theodore never left the room door unlocked so he was probably inside his room, busy with work. I exhaled deeply as I climbed the stairs, heading towards the room.

Theodore was my mate, we found out we were mates two years ago and we are yet to get married because he wants to take things slow. He was a man who had all the patience in the world and I felt very grateful to the goddess for giving me such a great mate.

"Oh. Oh yes." I heard a familiar voice and I frowned, I sniffed the air, noticing that there was a feminine scent, it was oddly familiar so I decided not to give it much thought.

"Oh fuck! Fuck me in a way you've never fucked that tiny mate of yours!" The moans echoed round the house and my heart began pounding as I neared the door.

The moans were more pronounced and my body shook violently, not from the cold but from the betrayal I was experiencing.

I couldn't believe it. Theodore was cheating. He had vowed never to cheat or look at any other lady as long as I was still with him.

With my heart in my throat, I pushed the door open and my eyes widened with astonishment when I found Christabel on top of him, bouncing naked while Theodore's eyes were plastered to her swaying breasts.

They turned around, anger visible and Christabel scoffed when she saw me, staring at me with disgust.

My legs couldn't hold me any longer and I dropped to the ground, my heart shattering into a thousand pieces as I watched them without a word.

Silently, I wanted this to be some nightmare or prank, I slapped my cheeks lightly, pleading for myself to wake up as tears slowly rolled down.

I couldn't believe this, getting thrown out by my father didn't sting this much, my best friend for years. Fuck! She was like my sister.

We grew together, slept together, ate and did everything together but here she was, fucking my mate.

"What!" Theodore thundered as he slowly rolled off her and I scoffed.

"Wh. What?" I said the word aloud, unable to believe everything going on today.

"I caught you cheating with my best friend and all you've got to say is what? What happened to the vows we made in this house? You promised never to be with any lady!" I thundered, unable to keep everything inside of me and Christabel scoffed.

"Oh please, it's not like you can satisfy him or anything." She retorted

"You're supposed to be my best friend. How could you do this to me?" I demanded, standing up weakly as I made my way towards them.

"Oh please! It's up to Theodore to make his choice, if you're not good enough for him, it's your fault not mine." She retorted, undaunted.

The pain in my heart was unbearable, I felt like crying, laughing, clawing at my heart and doing everything possible to get away from the pain.

I wanted to run away and never return yet I couldn't lift my legs.

"Face it! Do you think I was ever going to marry you? You're nothing but a bastard! You're weak! You do not have a wolf yet, why should I marry someone like you when I can have Christabel who is a strong warrior? You know nothing other than how you want to have kids and live life like it's some crazy fairytale!" Theodore thundered and he glared at me with disdain and his words sliced through my heart roughly.

"It. Those were our dreams."

"Well face it! This is reality! You're a bastard and my family would never allow me to marry a bastard. You're no good, you bring bad luck wherever you go, it's because of you your mom is in that damned hospital, you're like a curse! You're not worthy to stand beside me, the only way I can accept you is as my mistress and that isn't happening anytime soon."

I remained speechless as I watched him talk, his words were like sharp daggers, they drove into my heart, leaving a wound that only the goddess could heal.

"Face it, you're nothing!" Christabel sneered.

"Why? Why are you doing this?" I demanded, staring at Christabel weakly. "You know everything about me. We have been best of friends. We are inseparable so why?" I asked as droplets if tears kept rolling down my cheeks.

"Face it, you don't deserve a man as strong and handsome as Theodore. You deserve a guard!" She spat out bitterly and I knew immediately that her mate was a guard.

"Reject him, there's no point keeping this relationship anymore." Riley whispered softly.

"I, Aurora of the Ravenclaw pack, reject you, Theodore, as my mate." My words echoed in my ears as I stood my ground, a numbing pain taking over my heart as I heard Riley whimpering in pain.

"What!" They were both stunned and Theodore shook his head firmly.

"You cannot reject me! You're nothing without me! You need me!" He yelled and I scoffed.

"I'll be nothing if I continue to stay with you. You're nothing but a dog and if I continue to lie with you, I'll rise with fleas, just like your mistress there." I spat out and Christabel stared at me with shock.

"You bitch!" She scowled and I scoffed.

"You're the one sneaking around with him, face it, the only whore, slut or bitch here is none other than you two." I spat out and began walking outside while they followed me.

"If you don't come back here and apologize to us, you can forget about me and my help with your mother's bills." He warned and I stopped in the garden, scoffing.

"I'd rather crawl on spines." I replied and taking a step forward, I accidentally stepped on the sprinkler, they screamed in anger as water poured on them, drenching their words while I kept walking.

I was still drenched but I had stopped shivering, it took a minute which seemed like an eternity but I managed to gather shreds of what was left of my broken life and nodded softly, heading out as petals of tears dropped uncontrollably.

Riley was howling and crying in pain, my heart had lost its rhythm and as I walked out, it felt like I was floating on thin air.

My life was a mess, mom was hospitalized, there was no hope for her recovery and unless the goddess was ready to bring in a miracle, it seemed like my life was close to its end.
