Considering that his brother was going to marry her in the near future, Bruce always referred to her as his sister-in-law. In fact, it was Bruce who told me to call Bryan brother-in-law. He said calling him Alpha would sound awkward since we would become a family soon.
“Y-Yeah,” I said while recalling the humiliations.
“She is the daughter of the head Alpha of the Moon Valley pack. She is the best choice for my son. She is an eligible woman. She will treat the whole pack well. At least, I hope so.” She described her soon-to-be daughter-in-law with a very bright face.
I experienced a sense of unease. I would be her daughter-in-law, too. But I was not from any different pack with any high status.
I belonged to a very average family. My father was not an Alpha of any pack but a fighter wolf. He died in an accident, leaving my mother and us alone. To raise my brother and me, my mother had to work very hard. For the sake of achieving the rank of Gamma, my brother worked with his blood, sweat, and tears. For the purpose of getting into the best university so that I could graduate and make my mother proud, I studied hard. That was what we had. We had self-respect but no higher reputation.
As if she understood my thoughts, she placed her hand on my head.
“Don’t think that I am not happy with you just because I am talking about my big daughter-in-law. Every time Bruce speaks, he mentions you. When I met you at the party, I felt that he had made a wise decision. You are a pretty girl. Does he behave well with you?”
I looked at her. The anxiety that had been nagging at my head vanished swiftly. With a smile on my face, I gave her a nod.
“He is really good with me. I am very lucky to have him.”
I received a nod from her. Her smile never left her face. She was happy that both of her sons were settling down with good women.
A few maids arrived with snacks and arranged them on the tea table.
“Where is Bruce, Auntie?”
“I heard him having a conversation with a girl named Luisa. Maybe he has some work outside.”
“Oh.”
Luisa? What was Bruce talking about with her?
Then it hit my mind. Tomorrow was my birthday. So, were they planning something for me?
I stood up and said,
“Auntie, give me permission to leave now. I have some work.”
She raised her brows. “You didn’t eat anything.”
“Next time, Auntie. I am in a hurry right now.”
“You are coming tomorrow with Abraham, right?”
“Yeah.”
“Bring your mother with you.”
I lowered my head shyly and nodded my head.
I left the pack house. I dialed Luisa’s number. She did not receive my call again.
I took a cab to go to Luisa’s house.
‘You both are planning a surprise for me and thought I would never know that?’ I thought with a chuckle.
But in my mind, I did not want to ruin their surprise. I was just going to her house to see if she was okay because she did not come to the university today.
I had no idea where Bruce was. But since he lied to me, he was really up to something.
I reached Luisa’s house. It was her maid who opened the door.
“Hello. Where is Luisa?”
“She is in her bedroom.”
“Okay. I am going there.” I told her and made my way upstairs to Luisa’s bedroom.
I was pleased today. Why not? I had the opportunity to listen to compliments from my future mother-in-law.
I stood in front of Luisa’s door. I was surprised when I opened the door.
She was using her phone. Didn’t I call her many times? What caused her not to receive mine?
Nevertheless, my eyes fell on her body which was covered with a blanket.
I entered the room and asked,
“Luisa? Do you have a fever?”
She looked shocked when she saw me, as if she were looking at a ghost.
“Y-You! W-Why are you here?” She asked and immediately tried to cover her neck and arms with the blanket.
I was unable to understand her reaction. But suddenly I heard the sound of someone opening a door.
I turned my head toward the bathroom. There, I saw a man coming out with wet hair, wearing a white bathrobe.
I could not believe my eyes. I felt a pang in my heart. My eyes began to well up with tears as I uttered his name.
“Bruce?”
I felt as if the ground had slipped beneath my feet. It would have been better if I had buried myself before seeing this.
“So-Sophia?”
Bruce looked stunned when he saw me. What would he think? He would keep cheating on me, and I could not get to know about it?
“How could you?” I took a step back. I felt heavy in my chest.
The person I most trusted betrayed me!
I had always wished to spend the rest of my life with him. I thought I was a lucky girl to have him, but what did I get in return?
Cheating?
“Sophia, whatever you are thinking, nothing is like that, baby.”
Bruce attempted to approach me. But I stopped him by lifting my hand. I shook my head. I felt like passing out.
I turned my head toward Luisa. Her head was down. How could she have done that? Wasn’t she my best friend?
“And you?” I muttered to her.
She looked at me and shook her head. She forgot she was wrapped in a blanket. Her blanket had fallen from her chest.
A few marks on her naked body became visible in front of my eyes.
When I saw that, I almost fell to the floor.
I was speechless. How could they play dirty with me?
“Sophia, I am sorry. Please forgive me, baby.”
Bruce came close and held my hand. I felt disgusted when he touched me.
I yanked my hand out of his grasp and slapped him.
“How long?” I asked.
He was silent. Why? Why was he so quiet right now? It had been two years since we had been in a relationship. He promised me to be a loyal man. He vowed to me that he would mark me and make me his mate.
A few years ago, I went to the pack house with my brother when he wasn’t yet the Gamma. That time, I met Bruce. He began to show up at my school to meet me. We began dating a few months later. He had already rejected his mate at that time. He told me that he had rejected his mate because she had cheated on him.
But what exactly was he doing now?
“I ASKED HOW LONG???” I yelled at him.
He remained silent, not even making eye contact.
I went to Luisa. “You, tell me. How long have you been doing this behind my back with him?”
