Libianca's point of view
My brows furrowed when I felt the bright and slanting sun rays on my eyelids.
Immediately irritated by the unpleasant sensation, opening my eyes, I found myself in a strange room. Panic-stricken, I tried to recognize my surroundings, which were too luxurious to be my shabby room, but a smile graced my lips when memories of the previous night resurfaced. I found my fated mate and spent the night in his arms.
Excitement filled my heart at the thought of seeing him. I ignored the protest from my wobbly, sore legs to get ready to see him. He wasn't in the room, which made me a bit disappointed, but then I heard incoherent chatter coming from the sitting room.
I got out of the room and walked down the hallway to the sitting room. Then the incoherent chatter got clear, a familiar female voice, she was flirting with my mate.
I experienced a surge of conflicting emotions, prompting me to dash down the hallway to the living room. There, I was greeted by a sight that initially seemed unbelievable, but it was right in front of me.
My best friend, Nyx, was cradled in my mate's embrace, and they were making out so passionately like nothing mattered in the world. His idle hand was roaming all over her tracing her curves. For a second, everything went still; my body froze on the spot, trying to decipher the scene in front of me.
My lips parted, but I couldn't utter a word. "What the hell is happening here, Maddox?" I wanted to scream out, but only a whisper left my lips like a coward, and it broke me. Maddox heard me. He heard me because immediately, they were both brought out of their world.
Nyx only sneered at me before continuing to kiss Maddox in front of me. My breath stiffened. It felt as if my soul had ripped out of my body.
"Honey, when are you going to take out the trash? It stinks in here." Nyx flirted at Maddox, biting her lips seductively as her hands traced his chiselled chest, arousing Maddox with her every action.
My fist clenched hearing her provoking words as my daze broke. "Stay away from my mate, you witch." I managed to bark at Nyx, using all my strength not to whisper, trying my best to be strong, which was in vain because tears didn't stop pouring from my eyes like raindrops on the window panel.
Nyx was probably stunned by my unnatural tone; confusion was evident in her eyes, but she quickly recovered from the shock. Her eyes were filled with rage and disgust. "How dare you call me a witch, you dirty dog?!" She spat at me.
I was stunned when my cheeks stung because Nyx just slapped me. " Maddox just see how pathetic she is. She thinks a worthless trash like her can be your mate." Nyx sneered at me.
I turned to look at Maddox, hoping he would do something, but I was just delusional. Something flashed in his eyes, the feeling of guilt, but he averted his eyes before he drew Nyx closer to me, crushing my last hope.
My back became wet with cold sweat as fear began to creep inside of me when he stared back at me with the same disgust as Nyx's eyes. "I hope your hands don't hurt," Maddox told Nyx with affection evident in his eyes, then showered her with soft kisses.
It was unbelievable. He was the same man from last night who showed me love. Nyx rubbed her hand with a slight frown. "I am fine, my alpha. I am a beta, so things like this don't hurt me, unlike some people." Nyx mocked me, a Wolfless omega; her hands caressed Maddox's charming face.
' This had to be a nightmare, it can't be real. Nyx would never do this to me.' I tried to convince myself, slapping myself hard to wake up.
' Wake up Libianca.' I kept on repeating in my head, not wanting to believe this was my bestie.
"Why are you doing this to me?" I managed to brace myself and said through my gritted teeth, my heart beat wildly in my chest.
"Who do you think you are to question me, Libianca? Were you delusional that someone like you could be Maddox's mate?" Nyx scoffed, approaching me with steady steps, but Maddox stopped her.
He got up and walked towards me. I took a step back the closer he got to me. The corner of his lips pulled up to form a smirk when he suddenly grabbed my face and tilted my chin up.
"I thought we could be friends, Labianca." Maddox began, and I braced myself for whatever he was going to say. He is going to break me, trample on me. "But what can an omega like you offer? It is funny how you willingly threw yourself at me and who was I to refuse?" Maddox said with his eyes staring at me condescendingly.
"Maddox", I whimpered, crying.
"Oh, Labianca," he taunted with a sinister smile on his lips.
"Did you think I would love you because we are mates?" He paused, then his eyes got cold as he said...
"You are nothing but a weak Omega and Nyx also told me how you were probably hoping you could get fated to an Alpha. You are nothing but a..."
Before the rest of the words could escape Maddox's lips, I raised my hand to slap him, but Nyx caught my hand and twisted it; her long nails were piercing through my skin while Maddox only smiled.
