Dangerous Lycan: Claim Betrayed Luna’s Second Chance Mate

Rachael’s visit was a constant reminder that I had been struck with a harsh reality. The room had been quiet for as long as I could remember but the voices in my head did not let my lids fall close to sleep. What was it I perceived, betrayal? Or some sense of jealousy from her. As much as I yearned to squeeze her in my grip for saying all those hurtful things to me, a part of me just couldn’t. It was surely the after effect of a stressed-out and troubled soul. I tossed and turned and suddenly, the bed felt too soft as I drowned in its cosiness.?

I crawled out of it to find solace on the sofa chair in the room. I faced the window and watched at the curtain dancing to the rhythm of the wind. Just then, it struck me that I needed to return home- the home Raymond and I shared, a gift from my parents, the former rulers, to us. What was I doing all alone in the cold night? When I should be in the arms of the man that I love. I shouldn’t let her win. Somehow I knew that Racheal had always been jealous of me, I should have heeded to the warnings of my instincts. But love, sometimes love becomes the enemy in a triangle of people, love lets me ignore the signs. As the wind caressed my skin, gradually,? I felt the heaviness of my eye lids as they fell close putting me to sleep.?

I headed home the next morning, determined not to listen to any plea from him. Just outside the porch, I sighted some familiar luggage as I moved closer. It became clear to me that they were mine. Every damn thing I owned sat in the cold right outside, even the fancy new flip-flop Raymond had chosen for me on our last trip together.?

“Raymond!” I called out as I got to the door but there was no response. With a rounded fist the door shook the hinges as I pounded hard.?

“What madness Clara?! Do you not know that you disturb the peace of the neighbourhood?”

Raymond rushed out towards me.?

“I’m sorry but that was the only way to get you out, you weren’t taking my calls. I am curious Raymond, what are my things doing outside of our home?”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Oh, I put them outside.”

“Why would you do that?”

“You aren’t needed here anymore.”

I chuckled as I grabbed the retractor handle of the first luggage, “Stop with the jokes Raymond, you aren’t good at it. Come help me with the other bags, let’s take it in.”

I tried moving in but he moved to the door blocking my way.?

“What is it Raymond?”

My hands began to tremble again as my fears grew.?

“I’m sorry Clara, but I can’t allow you in.”

“Is this some sort of prank? Where are the camera’s,” I looked around.?

“This is no prank but your reality, my dear friend,” Racheal walked out dressed in my bathrobe.?

“I see you moved in already.”

“I did what I should have done a long time ago.”

“Raymond, please let me take my things inside our home. The home that we share together. Send this ungrateful bitch out of our house. I know our relationship is a bit shaky because of what has been going on. But let’s make it work. We can talk about everything, sleep over this and we will be fine tomorrow and back to how we used to be.”

“Oh please spare me that, Clara. Like I told you before, it was all our plan, Raymond never loved you and not even those tears can change that.”

I reached for his hand, ignoring her silly words “Look at me, Raymond,” I searched for his gaze, even a glimpse as my vision became blurry as tears clouded my eyes.?

“Tell me she is lying.”

“She isn’t,” He took my hands off his, moving towards her as she wrapped her hands around him dropping kisses on his lips.?

“Are you just going to let all that we shared go down the drain because of Racheal? Fight for us Raymond, fight for us.”

“Do you not get it Clara?!” He barked, “I thought you were smart but clearly I was wrong. Can’t you see that I never loved you? I was only with you because I wanted to get into your parents’ heads. I wanted them to love me and I knew that the only way for that to happen was to act that I cherished their only daughter so I would be chosen as the alpha head and it worked. I am now the alpha head and I don’t have to pretend to love you anymore.”

His words hit me like a rock as the intensity of the searing pain grew, throwing me in a whirlwind of turbulent heartbreak.?

“How come I didn’t see all of this coming? I should have known better, now I see it now, the late nights, the sudden change of attitude towards me. There have always been signs but I had refused to see them because I let love blind me. I hate you so much Raymond and I hope that you both perish for what you have made me go through.”

“Oh please, spare me the sermon.”

“I have been putting up with you the entire time and I can’t just do it again. I’m done. Whatever we had is over. You need to leave now Clara.”

“Leave? I am not leaving. We might not be together anymore but this is still my home. My parents gave me this house as a gift. So if anyone is to leave, it’s the two squatters right in front of me.”

They got into an outburst of laughter and I only watched as more drama unfolded.?

“What’s so funny?” I asked.?

“You know I never really loved you. Even when I tried you made it so hard, the spoiled pack alpha’s daughter always got what she wanted. But with Racheal it felt real, I fell in love with her the first day I set my eyes on her. I still remember the good old days when I did everything just to make you happy. Now I am the pack Alpha and I can do whatever the fuck I want which includes sending you away from this house as you are no longer welcomed here.”

“What?” I gasped.?

“You heard me right. I am the leader now, the one on the throne and not you or your father. and Rachel here,” he pulled her close, “will be my Luna. She would bear an heir that would take over from me. Now leave Clara for you are no longer needed here. I reject you as my mate.”

With those words, they turned their back and walked back in leaving me to be drowned by my own tears. My feet suddenly felt weak and too tired to carry my body. I fell to the ground as tears flowed freely. For all the love I shared with Raymond, I had been repaid unfairly.?
