Betrayed Heiress: My Second Chance Mate is A Lycan King

Aira’s POV

Unable to contain the rage that burned within me, I rose to my feet and began to walk toward Jace and my twin sister as they kept walking down the aisle, waving and smiling sheepishly at everyone.

Getting past the crowd was a tad difficult as I had to push through them as they stood and clapped for those two.

One of the men with the cameras spotted me and immediately, he turned his camera and took a shot. The others joined in as I walked furiously to the intending couple but I couldn’t care less.

I had to get to Jace. I had to find out why he chose to betray me that way but most importantly, I had to make sure he’d return to his senses and call off that sham of a wedding.

He was my man. We hadn’t even broken up. If he wanted nothing to do with me, he could have first broken up with me, right?

As I drew closer to them, Ana turned briefly and our eyes immediately met. She winked at me with a smirk on her face and proceeded to tighten her grip on Jace’s hands.

She knew exactly what she was doing. She had come for Jace just like she came for all the guys who took an interest in me when we were younger. I wondered what I did to deserve that from a lady I called my sister.

Right from when we were little, Ana disliked me. She’d leave me all alone and go play with the other kids and whenever I tried to join them, she’d make them mock me and leave the place like I was some kind of a monster.

Even the love of my parents was stolen from me by Ana. They treated her so well and made me feel unwelcome in my own house just because I didn’t have a wolf like their Omega child. Sometimes, I did think that she stole that from me too in the womb.

“What the hell is going on here, honey?” I finally asked, pulling Jace’s right hand so he could turn and face me. “What are you doing with Ana?'”

Releasing his hold on Ana’s hand, he glanced around the area as if surprised by my question and asked, “What does it look like I’m doing here? It seems you’re the only one who can’t tell that this is a wedding.”

“But… But – How can you get married to my twin?” I asked, surprised that he could say what he said to my face. “What have I done to deserve this? You asked me to come here for a romantic date since it’s your birthday. What is this?”

“A romantic date. Can’t you see it? Look around you, everything here spells romance and this is a wedding; a romantic gathering. I only thought it’d be bad to leave you out on such a memorable moment,” he derided me in the presence of everyone with Ana by his side, laughing scornfully.

I put my right hand over my mouth and sobbed bitterly. I had been deceived by the man whom I felt was in love with me. My lips parted as I tried to speak but the words just wouldn’t come out.

“How could you have thought that I could ever fall in love with you?” He mocked me even further, staring at me in disgust as he pointed his index finger at me. “You’re wolfless and very ugly and your twin? Look at her. She’s so pretty; the most beautiful woman that I’d ever set my eyes on and she’s also an Omega. Can you not see the difference?”

I bowed my head in shame knowing that what he said was true. With my 5’2 height and my slender frame, I wasn’t quite the best-looking lady in the Pack. My tiny lips and bulgy eyes didn’t quite make things better but I was sure that I didn’t look as bad as he made it seem. My beautiful blonde hair remained the silkiest in the Pack. Everyone said that.

All my life, I’d been a victim of bullying. My peers would always call me out for not being that pretty. They’d remind me that of all the wolves my age, I was the only one whose wolf remained asleep.

It used to make me insecure. I’d wait till everyone was back home before I’d begin my journey home from work just so I could avoid being taunted. But all that changed when Jace came into my life.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

“You’re beautiful, just the way you are,” he’d always tell me each time I leaned into his arms as we lay on the bed.

He made me confident that I was simply different and that it was okay to be different. He called me perfect after our first night together and when he was kissing and ravishing my body, he didn’t seem to think that I was ugly.

*Were they all lies?” I voiced in a low tone, looking up into his eyes. “Did you not mean all those words that you said to me back when we were dating?”

Jace and Ana looked at themselves for a few seconds and broke into laughter. The crowd seemed amused too and joined in on the fun while I gawked at them, bereft of ideas as they poked more fun at me.

“You’re just delusional, aren’t you?” Ana mocked, pulling Jace in for a passionate kiss that seemed to last forever. “Jace has never loved you. He has always been in love with me. All that time, he was simply passing time with you. He saw you as a plaything to be used and dumped so he used you. Now, he’s dumping you and if I were in your shoes, I’d turn around and walk away before things get even worse… For you, of course.”

“What of those men?” I asked, referring to the men he saved me from. “Why didn’t you just let them kill me if you knew you’d treat me this way? I know you feel something for me, Jace. Please don’t let Ana take everything we’ve shared away from us.”

I knew I was wrong. I had read in several books that I should never beg for love but I couldn’t stop myself. I just wanted him. No one had ever loved me like him and I didn’t think I deserved it either.

“Look behind me,” Jace said, pointing to two men wearing black suits just like him who stood directly behind him. “Can you recognise them?”

At first, I didn’t. They both had black shades on and when they saw that I was trying to see what they looked like behind the shades, they chuckled and took them off.

Then it dawned on me what happened back then. They were the same men who Jace had saved me from. I could barely believe my eyes.

“What the hell!” I yelled in shock.

Jace laughed and shook hands with the men. “It was a well-executed plan and thanks for your naivety, it worked,” he revealed. “The lengths people can go to get what they want from others. I have all that I want now. I don’t need you anymore.”

I fell to my knees with tears from my eyes wetting the ground. Jace and I had been mated for three years and I never imagined that we’d ever break up. I never saw it coming.

“Please, we can still work this out,” I begged him, holding onto his legs. “I love you, Jace. Please, don’t leave. Look, I got you a gift for your birthday. It’s a Rolex. Your favourite.”

I quickly took out the Rolex from my handbag and handed it over to him but he just shook his head and spat on the floor.

“How low would you go, sister?” Ana remarked disdainfully. “Do you really need to embarrass yourself this way?”

Jace drew closer to me looking a bit concerned and I thought… Maybe he has realised that I’m the one for him. But he stopped right in front of me and lifted his hand so everyone would stay still and hear what he had to say.

“I cannot continue with this relationship, Aira. I don’t love you and I never will. I, Jace, reject you Aira. I break whatever bond that holds us still and I choose Ana to be my wife!”

The guests cheered him on as I watched on in disbelief. As they kissed once again in my presence and Jace placed both his hands on her big ass, a reminder that mine was as flat as a spoon.

This was a man whom I gave my heart and everything else that he ever needed. When Jace met me, he was only a mere cleaner. I found out the next day after he supposedly saved me from his friends but that didn’t stop me from loving him. That night, I promised him that he’d never get to clean in his life.

I made sure he got a well-paying job two days later. Seeing that he couldn’t quite afford to keep paying rent after the first month, I let him move into my house. I completely transformed his life and what did I get for it? A betrayal of the highest order. Truly, I was a fool for love.

Rising to my feet, I wiped the tears from my eyes and muttered a subtle, “Thank you,” to Jace. All eyes were on me as I took the walk of shame out of the venue. I got into my car as quickly as I could and drove off.

I turned on the radio hoping to distract myself with some good music but the news of what just happened sounded in my ears, forcing a gasp out of me.

My phone beeped a few times and I took it out only to see notifications about the same event! How fast news flies!

I should have known that the news would become the talk of the time given my status in the Pack. Maybe, it would have made me avoid any confrontations in front of the paparazzi.

All I wished was for the ground to open up and swallow me. The shame was too much for me to bear.
