Chapter 2 Betrayal

Alyssa's POV

I struggled to contain my tears, trying not to make a sound as I sobbed. I wanted to listen to the conversation between the two of them. Was this why Derek couldn't make our appointment? To have sex with Haley in our bed?

What have I done to deserve this? Derek and my best friend. Why haven't I seen this? Was I far too smitten to see the signs of what was going on around me?

"That was incredible, as always," Haley said with a seductive tone "No man has ever made me come as you do,"

Derek laughed "Carry on like that way Haley, and you'll give me an ego,"

"Seriously though," Haley replied "I've never felt a connection like ours, do you feel it too? Our bodies are so entwined when we make love, it's intense," She paused with a giggle "I think your ego is big enough anyway, I don't want to enhance that,"

"You certainly enhance something on me baby," Derek responded with a low growl "You're making me want to make love to you again,"

Were they doing this to rub it in my face? My hands shook through my anger. It seemed as though they both knew I was standing outside the door, and just needed to brag about their sexual exploits I hadn't known about.

"So when are you going to tell Alyssa about us?" Haley asked "I think it's a little unfair us sneaking behind her back for so long now," she released a gentle sigh "As much as this hurts, she's my very best friend, and it pains me to deceive her like this,"

Very best friend? My teeth gritted as my jaw clenched. Aching with the pressure. If I was such a good friend to Haley Green, she wouldn't think twice about having sex with my husband! Friends don't hurt one another.

I felt the bile rise in my throat, how long have they been going behind my back? My stomach knotted in pain from this information. They had both deceived me so cruelly. I wanted to barge in there and confront them, but I waited to listen more to their conversation.

"Soon," Derek replied "I don't want to hurt Alyssa, especially when I tell her that the marriage is all a facade. As soon as we're married, I will have access to all of my Father's wealth, and my truly deserved Alpha status," he paused "We need to bide our time on this," he sighed and I heard the soft sound of lips kissing "You know you're the love of my life, despite the mate bond with Alyssa. I don't want her, I want you,"

"I know," Haley sighed. "I love you so much, and I can't bear to think of you marrying Alyssa. I want us to be together. I know we have to wait, and reap the rewards of our patience afterwards,"

"I do too my darling," Derek said in reply "But once the wedding is official, Alyssa and I can begin the process of making a child, once my heir is born then Alyssa will have fulfilled her use to me. We will have her sent back to the human world where we never have to bother with her again," he paused "You and I can raise the child as our own, our own little family,"

My throat began to ache with the pain of my sadness, I struggled to contain the sounds of my tears and as I pressed my hand to my mouth, I managed to keep silent.

All this time I thought Derek wanted the marriage to happen quickly because he loved me, because he wanted to be mine forever. But it turns out I was being taken for a fool, and it's all part of his disgusting plan to knock me up and toss me away.

Haley sighed in disgust "The very idea of you having to make a child with Alyssa makes me so…" she paused. "Jealous," she grunted "But, I can wait. You're worth it. The future sounds perfect, Alpha and Luna with a bouncing baby to nurture and care for,"

"Once the difficult part is over, we can rid ourselves of Alyssa and be together, Haley. I love you more than anything," Derek said gently, before pressing his lips to hers as the sound of delicate kisses filtered into my ears again "You are the woman I truly want to be with, we will have our own wedding, a proper one,"

I lifted my hands to my face, covering my eyes as the tears streamed harder. My fingers trembled with shock, upset and anger. I was devastated. All this time, Derek had been manipulating me into making me think he wanted to make me happy. Making me believe I was the love of his life, and he wanted to give me everything.

I wasn't going to let them get away with this, not for one second. Fumbling in my pocket I pulled out my phone and turned the camera mode on.

I will be sure to get all the evidence I need on this. I may be a human, but I'm not an idiot. I know the laws of werewolf mating. How a bond must not be broken under any circumstance.

As I gathered myself, I took deep breaths, trying to stop my entire body from shaking. I opened the door quickly and pointed the camera at the pair on the bed. Derek and Haley both lay naked with each other, their lips locked in a passionate kiss as his fingers stroked across her bare breast.

I was quick enough to take the photo that neither Derek or Haley noticed I had taken the candid picture of them both. It seemed they were too locked into each other to realise, so I left it at that. I had the evidence to prove their disloyalty.

Running down the stairs, I powered out of the front door, my hand grasping onto my phone as though my life depended on keeping it safe.

Tears streamed down my face as the emotion had built up and been ready for release. My tears blurred my vision, and my legs had already started to ache from the speed I was running, but the adrenaline kept me going.

I knew one thing for sure, I wasn't letting Derek and Haley get away with this deceit.
