Chapter 2 The Gammas Betrayal Part Two

London Hale

"I'd be surprised if she did. Did you attend, Vince? I wouldn't dare attend such a wedding if I were in her shoes; it's truly embarrassing." He cocked his thick black brows at the blonde, peering at him intently with his amber eyes.

"What was I supposed to do? The idiot was so adamant on making me his best man, I had to, or else he and his bride would be the only ones present at the alter without a witness present," Vince said and shot me a disappointed gaze.

That was all it took for me to snap.

"Do not talk about my mate like that. We've all made terrible decisions; what matters is how we try to correct them. I'm tired of everyone having something condescending to say about my marriage to Leah! Vince, if you didn't want to be my best man, then you should have stayed home." I yelled, facing both of them.

Vince sighed heavily, looking a little guilty. He faced Bryce, who shook his head and threw a tilted head my way.

"Look, London. It's not like we're trying to hurt you or anything; it's just that you're the beloved Gamma of the Nightwalker pack, so it's only fair to say people are constantly worried about you. You deserve only the best because you have sacrificed a lot for the pack. You deserve a mate who will love, respect, and cherish you." He patted my shoulder, and I could feel the deep sincerity dripping through every word.

"And to be honest, Leah isn't the one to give you that. I'm saying this as your best friend, someone who cares about you." He offered me a weak smile, his green eyes glistening under the moonlight.

"Why is that? Because she was once a slut? A call girl? Who are you to keep judging her? I told you all that she is a changed person," I gritted.

"You haven't heard the recent rumors?" Bryce cocked a brow at me, and I looked at Vince, hoping for a more detailed explanation, but he threw his face away.

"What rumours?" I questioned, returning my gaze back to Bryce.

"It's been going around that she's been having something to do with Connan, the beta, and Alpha Preston. Apparently it started way before your engagement to her and has continued after your marriage to her." Bryce explained while I glared at him.

I walked up to him, barely refraining from ruining his pretty face with heavy punches. How dare he keep talking down at my mate like this? She isn't a slut anymore and should be given a chance to prove her worth.

"Rumors are rumors for a reason, Bryce." I was getting fed up.

"Yeah, but behind every rumor is a truth. Wise up, London, and get your act together. You can still take a choosen mate and divorce Leah. Thank the goddess that we're in morden days, so that makes it easier for you." Vince added, finally giving up on the topic before brushing past me to continue our journey home.

I let out a heavy sigh, knowing that the topic might have ended now but would be continued tomorrow. We moved from the thick border of trees that marked our border towards the direction of our homes.

Part of our land had more connection to the woods and natural resources; neighboring packs never missed an opportunity to try to steal from us, which is why we didn't joke with our security.

Our patrol happened every night, but with rotated men. Tonight was for Vince, Bryce, and me. I was already tired of the long night, my argument with the men being a contributing factor, and I just wanted to go home to my wife.

My wife... My mate, my sweet Leah.

My thoughts brightened at the thought of her. Leah was very beautiful, with long Auburn hair and the lightest blue-grey eyes that brought the sky to mind when it just had light clouds floating past it.

Her unique eyes were my favorite part of her because they complemented her small, round face, pouty lips, and little button nose. She always had this innocent look in her eyes, and when she smiled, my heart melted at her dazzling beauty.

How could I dare reject a goddess like her? She was the epitome of beauty.

She was a little above average height with slender legs, a graceful carriage, and a slim body that still held curves and whatnot. I loved my wife. She was everything I desired in a female, and she always smelled nice. I was so lost in my mussing that I didn't realize that I had broken into a wide smile.

Some would say I'm love sick, but after dedicating your whole life to pack duties and being twenty-five years old, you'd begin to enjoy the thought of belonging to someone and coming home to your woman.

It was a beautiful feeling now that I had tasted it, and I hoped Bryce and Vince would find theirs so they could experience the sweet feeling of having a wife and finally leave me to breathe and enjoy mine.
