Chapter 31
Brielle
Today was the day when my fiancé was getting married to his first love. I didnât know why, but this was painful for me. Not the fact that he was getting married to someone else, but the fact that he was doing this to hurt and insult me, and to some extent, it was going to work.
So, I prepared myself for everything.
I looked at myself in the mirror. Though it was Raya and Tristan getting married, I chose to take revenge on them by wearing a S**y white gown. The sheer thigh-split of the gown nearly reached my belly button, and it was undeniably S**y, and the all-over illusion lace made it look like all the guests would stare right through to my skin. Thankfully, there was a nude lining. I wasnât dressed like a slut. It was just that my dress just screamed at me.
I matched my dress with the nude heels and kept a side bun hairstyle.
Wearing white into someone elseâs marriage meant you were stealing attention or trying to upstage the bride in some way. I wore this seductive gown to make a statement that even though they were getting married, I would steal the show.
I could feel peopleâs eyes on me the moment I made an entry alone. I didnât care about their looks because I wasnât a woman who wanted a man, but I was a woman whom a man wanted.
I looked around and saw Zera walking towards me with a smirk playing on her l*ps.
âI canât help but wonder: how can someone wake up only to choose war on a daily basis?â
âThat is because life is a war. The reality is that nob*dy has my back, and everyone is waiting for my failure. Itâs all up to me.â
âYouâre something. Brielle.â She chuckled, passing me the drink in her hand, which I denied. The last time I was drunk. I found myself n*ked beside Ezekiel. Not that I regretted it, but I didnât want history to repeat itself. If I were having S**, then I wanted to be in my full consciousness. âBy the way, Iâm positive that someone has your back and he doesnât want you to fail.â
I didnât react and acted like I didnât understand the meaning behind her words.
âDonât you know that you shouldnât be wearing white at someone elseâs wedding?â Luna Opal hissed at the moment, and I joined them to greet them.
âNo. I didnât,â I said, faking my innocence, to which she fumed in anger. Tristan or Ezekiel would be my fate, and in both cases, she would be my mother-in-law.
I felt bad for myself, but there was nothing I could do about it.
âDonât waste your time on her. Opal,â Luna Kali said before adding, âItâs my beautiful niece and your gorgeous sonâs wedding. Hearing this, I rolled my eyes and looked around, only to find Tristanâs eyes on me and Ezekiel standing behind him as his brotherâs best man.
I glared at him for breaking my trust. I would never forgive him for that. I looked away, not giving him my attention, and talked with Zera instead.
Ezekiel told me that she was not everyoneâs type of person, which was kind of cool.
âSo, do you have a boyfriend?â I asked her. She nodded her head, sipping wine from her glass.
He is my little secret because we arenât mates, and I know someday, just like you, I would be arranged with someone for pack benefitâ She smiled, and I grinned even though I felt bad for her. âThatâs why Iâm learning from the best because I deot know what kind of asshole he would be.
Chapter 31
A the best.â I winked at her instead of showing my sympathy. Life was a war, and she had to fight her own fight when the
time came.
âWhat about you? Are you his mate?â I remembered Ezekiel telling me that Zera didnât know about it.
âI donât have my wolf, remember? I canât sense my mate,â I answered the safe answer. But still, for some reason, I could feel that whenever he touched me.
âI think youâre their mate,â My head turned towards her so fast that even if it had broken, I wouldnât have complained.
âTheir mate?â
âDonât tell me that you arenât aware of the fact that in 99% of cases, the werewolves or Lycan that share their motherâs wombs together also share their mate together.â
I didnât know how to react to this. Yes, I was aware of this fact, but it never crossed my mind until now. But then, I never felt any type of bond with Tristan yet. So, there could be a chance that I might land in the remaining 1% case, right?
At the same time, the bride walked down the aisle, holding her fatherâs arms. I had no idea what would be my destiny the day after tomorrow, the day I was supposed to marry Tristan. I looked at him and found him staring into my eyes instead of his bride, who was walking down to him. I felt bad for Raya; she didnât deserve this.
Even though I was here to steal the show, any woman deserved her manâs attention, to whom she was getting married. I stopped myself from smiling when I saw Rayaâs eyes on me.
Imagine getting a reaction from the bride when she was walking down the aisle. Both the bride and groom were looking at
LOL.
Soon, Rayaâs gaze returned to Tristan.
âAlpha Tristanâ¦â Rayaâs father called him to get his attention for him and his daughter. Tristan didnât move an inch on the stage to receive his bride.
Asshole.
âIâm sure she can walk near me on her own.â Tristan blurted, embarrassing both father and daughter. It was Rayaâs day, a day that she wanted to rub at my face by getting married to Tristan first, but it looked like the table had taken a 180-degree turn
I watched them getting married to one another and tried to feel anything that could prove that Tristan could be my mate. but all I felt was anger, hatred, and a desire to kick his ass.
âYou can now mark each other,â My heartbeat quickened when I heard this. They were going to just marry, right? I had mixed emotions about this news. A part of me wanted him to mark Raya and regret all his life, but then a good part of me didnât want a lifelong punishment for him.
Rejecting a mate would be painful for him.
I watched Raya arch her n*eck so that Tristan could mark her.
âWeâre not marking each other,â Tristan announced, embarrassing Raya again. And her beetroot face was worth watching. She had embarrassed me in front of the family members, and Tristan took revenge by embarrassing her in front of all the
guests.
Karma.
âI should have brought popcorn.â Zera said, chuckling. âNever mind, your wedding is in two days. Iâll bring popcorn to your wedding
I bet there would be more drama at my wedding
Soon, gusts started congratulating them one by one. Even I did when they reached us. Raya had wrapped her hand around Pristan, showing off that they were tharried now.
Congratulations to both of you,â I said.
âFeeling bad, huh? You got engaged to him first, but married me first?â That witch dared to insult me again. She hadnât learned her lesson until now.
âIâm indeed feeling bad, but not for myself but for you. Even though youâre the bride, the guests, and your husband are more interested in staring at me than at youâ I winked at her and left from there, giving her a flying k*ss.
I made sure not to look at Ezekiel, not when I knew Tristanâs whole attention was on me.
After getting bored at the party, I excused myself and left the party. I hated how big this whole mansion was because, even after walking continuously for the last twenty minutes, I hadnât reached my room
I turned around and looked behind me, feeling someone following me. The guards in the mansion were too few, as most of them were busy protecting the guests and any unannounced attacks from enemies. I removed my pendant from my n*eck to stay prepared, as I didnât have my dagger with me.
When I finally reached my room. I wasnât surprised to see that it wasnât guarded. The moment I locked the door behind me, I felt someoneâs presence behind me. I happily turned around, thinking that person was Ezekiel, only to see Jameson.
âBri.â
I didnât know how to react. The last time I saw him, I was pissed at him, but now I was scared for his life.
