CHAPTER 2 Revenge
Aurora's POV
It was Daisy. My Daisy. Having sex with my fiance.
I'm trembling. The anger won't let me release my phone from my grasp. I'm holding it so tight it feels as if it's embedded in my palm. I know there must be pain in my hand right now but I can even feel it. I am so numb yet so angry at the same time. Looking back in the room sends a chill running down my spine. It feels like a lightning bolt.
My hand is still clutching the doorknob and I'm so close to pushing it open fully, running into the room and punching both of them. But I feel like my feet are glued to the floor. My heart feels like someone is trying to crush it and I still can't breathe.
What am I supposed to do now? Run in and question them about everything, and ask how long they have been doing this. Or do I just cancel the engagement party immediately?
No. It was them who betrayed me. Why should I endure being the laughingstock again? If I cancel the party all eyes fall on me I lose my reputation with the pack. Not this time they will be the ones to take this fall.
I force my breathing to slow and finally, my mind clears. I'm still holding my phone, my phone with a camera. I flipped my camera to face them and began to record these traitors.
They are far too busy in the study to notice me. Henry had lifted Daisy's entire body above himself. He looked like a terrifying beast. He was thrusting harder now while Daisy calls out his name with a completly flushed face. They didn't even care if anyone would hear them anymore.
"In a few hours, you will be engaged to Aurora. Aren't you happy?" Daisy said through a gasp.
Henry only smirked down at her as he lifted her leg onto his shoulder. He began to thrust harder, making Daisy scream in complete ecstasy. "You know I've always loved you, Daisy."
Listening to the conversation while watching my best friend and fiance have sex made me feel like I was going to collapse from the nerves. Henry finally came in Daisy. I finally managed to shut the recording off and bolt from the door.
Finally freeing myself from the situation I allow the tears to fall. I stopped caring about my makeup I felt stupid for even thinking I looked beautiful. I ran to the garden to find an empty corner and try to settle my mind.
I found a bench in front of a flower bed to sit on, holding myself in a hug desperately trying to pull myself back together. It was an impossible task. I kept wiping my eyes however, the more I did it the more I cried. I wanted to avoid getting any marks on my dress but my tears were streaking the mascara across my face.
My heart is shattering. I can't help reliving all of these images in my mind over and over. I still couldn't breathe.
How did everything come to this?
Those words he said are ringing in my mind again. "You know I've always loved you, Daisy" This man who had always shown me his love since we were both so young is now saying those exact same words while fucking my best friend. Damn it
My phone beeped at me twice, and I wiped my eyes before opening the messages. One from Henry and another one from Daisy. Sent one after the other.
Henry: How are the preparations going, my love?
Daisy: Congratulations on your engagement my darling best friend and closest sister. I'll be at the venue in half an hour I can't wait to see you!!
I felt my jaw clench as I read the messages, the irony of everything flooded through me. If I hadn't found their affair myself I never would have known anything was wrong at all. I would never have known that my fiance was having sex with my best friend. What a terrifying thought.
I let myself look at their messages for a long time. Then allowed myself some time to remember all of the experiences we had together.
When Henry confessed his love to me, I worried that it would ruin the group's dynamic. We were always together. But I truly was overthinking it. When Daisy found out we were together she only wished me true happiness. We still went on our weekly shopping trips and spoke every single day.
As Henry and I grew closer, I never noticed a change in his and Daisy's relationship. Her status was different to ours, leading to her experiencing a lot of bullying. Henry was always the first to stand up to her. It always made me proud to know that he was willing to stand for anyone. A man I was willing to see as a leader.
Whenever I was mocked for my lack of transitioning, Daisy was always the first to stand up for me and speak out. I always felt so happy having an amazing boyfriend and best friend who loved and supported me.
But now I know all of this is just a lie. They got together behind my back, I never could have seen it coming.
I rested my hand against my necklace from my mother. It served as a harsh reminder that my life was falling apart. My life was finally about to begin. All of my work from studying and training was finally about to pay off. I was ready to step into my place as a Luna. It all feels like a cruel joke.
No. I can't let them get away with it, they must be punished.
Thinking about the video I had recorded, a plan formed in my mind.
I grabbed my phone and replied to Daisy's message. Then I opened Henry's chat, sent him a selfie and set off towards the study.
Then I set my plan in motion. I sent a message to one of the Omegas who were preparing the party. Aurora: Henry asked me to change the video that we want to play at the party. Please take me to where I need to be to change it.
My phone pinged with a reply. Henry: You're as beautiful as the moon goddess herself, my love. I can't wait to kiss your rosy cheeks at our engagement ceremony.
I couldn't help but cringe at his reply but quickly sent him a message back.
Me: I hope you'll be even more happy at our engagement ceremony.
