Alec’s

Raised voices bring me out of a peaceful sleep. There were people arguing, but it all sounded so far away. Instead of opening my eyes, I snuggled deeper into the comfy and warm mattress. It felt like heaven. Like I was sleeping in the clouds.

Someone shouts my name, but I push the sound back. It was probably one of the maids trying to wake me up. Frowning, I try to get back to sleep.

I was just falling into bliss when someone roughly shakes me. Before I can do anything, I’m pushed off the bed, and I fall on the cold, hard floor.

D.you

“Wake up, you shameless, thieving b**h.”

If the fall didn’t wake me up, then the menacing and vicious voice definitely did the trick. I open my eyes, my mind foggy.

I looked around the room, but it wasn’t familiar. Looking down, I realized that I was naked,** *k! What the hell was going on? I grab the sheet quickly and wrap it around my naked form before standing up.

“What’s going on?” I asked, as I stared at the occupants of the room.

Lola was staring daggers at me. Her eyes filled with so much hate and bitterness. Jason, Alec’s beta, Micah, his gamma and Piper were present. Alec was seated on the bed in nothing but his boxer briefs with his head held in his hand.

I stare at them, not really sure what the hell was happening, why everyone was here, or what the hell Alec was doing in this room, half naked, while I didn’t have my clothes on.

“I can’t do this. I just can’t do this,” Lola whispers as tears fill her eyes.

Alec stands up and tries to go to her, but she backs away from him.

“Stay away from me, you cheating a**le” she screams.

“Please, Lola…please just f**g listen” he begs. “I don’t remember what the k happened. The last thing I remember is going to the bar”

It takes a while, but things start to make sense.

F**k. Why me moon goddess? What the hell did I do to you?

I try to think back to last night, but I come up with nothing. The last thing I remember is the bartender handing me and Alec drinks and telling us they were on the house.

“No! I won’t listen to your damn excuse. Do you think I’m stupid? You cheat on me two days before our mating ceremony, and you expect me to believe your pathetic excuse. You expect me to believe that you don’t know what happened and don’t remember sleeping with that s l u t?” she screams at

him.

I feel my legs weaken as Lola voices my thoughts. I hold on to the headboard for support. My eyes scan the bed, and they quickly land on the spot of blood on the sheets.

Oh goddess. I slept with Alec yesterday. I slept with someone else’s mate, and I don’t even remember a f u c k i n g thing.

I feel bile rise up, and before I can stop it, I puke all over the carpet.

Everyone except Alec looks at me in disgust. Alec just stares at his mate. His eyes fixated on her. Lola turns her eyes back to Alec and gives him the coldest look I’ve ever seen on her.

“We’re done. Don’t call me, don’t look for me and don’t f c k i n g dare come near me again.”

“Please, Lo, don’t do this.”

“I’m not doing anything, you destroyed everything when you decided to take that b i t ch to bed.”

Ripping her hand from his, she walks out, banging the door on her

way out.

Alec looks at the door for a while, before the most terrifying growl leaves his mouth. He turns and pins me with a deadly look. His eyes were flashing yellow, and his mouth was set.

I take back a step in fear, but there is nowhere to go. Growls and snarls leave his mouth. Both his and his wolf’s anger were all directed at me.From NôvelDrama.Org.

“Get dressed and get your u c k i g s s in my office” he snarls, making me scramble to get my clothes.

Within seconds, all three of them leave, and I’m left in the room alone. I try to breathe through the panic, but it’s no use. I was in deep trouble.

I

Not only had I slept with the alpha and a man who had found his mate, but I might also be responsible for breaking Alec and Lola up.

‘Just calm down. You’ll just explain your side of the story’, I tell myself. “I’m sure they’ll believe me”

I dress as fast as I can while taking deep, calming breaths. After I’m done, I rush out of the room and head straight to the Alpha’s office.

‘Whore”

The words were flung at me as I ran past a few pack members. The shaming words hurt, but I ignore them. Now is not the time to let my feelings take control.

When I get to the office, I gently knock.

Alec yells for me to come in. At first, I thought of running because I could hear the anger in his voice, but that would only get me into more trouble.

The moment I get in and I close the door behind me, a slap lands on my cheek.

I looked at Piper in shock. Unable to believe that my best friend slapped me.

“How could you?” she cries. “How could you betray me like this? You know how much I love my brother and how happy I was that he found his mate, but you just had to ruin that, didn’t you?” she

screams at me.

“It’s not like that. I didn’t do anything.”

“You’ve always been obsessed with Alec, but you’ve taken this too far. Drugging him so he could sleep you is disgusting and low even for you, Sadie.”

Tears fall down my face as her words pierce my heart and soul. We’ve been best friends for

she believed I was guilty the first chance she got.

“I didn’t drug him, I swear.” I cry.

“Then explain this”, Alec shouts and throws me a gadget.

It hits me on the forehead, but no one seems to care. I see stars for a while, but I bend down and take

the tablet, ignoring the throbbing pain.

The video shows me handing Alec one of the two glasses that the bartender gave me.

“You probably s p k d the drink before giving it to me, isn’t that right? You knew I would never slee with you

sober, so you drugged me. You wanted to kill two birds with one stone. Sleep with me and break my relationship with Lola,” Alec says bitterly, his eyes conveying nothing but hate and anger.

“I swear that’s not true. I would never do that. You can ask the bartender who gave me the drin ks,” I

pleaded.

Jason scoffs. “How convenient, since the bartender is nowhere to be found, and he wasn’t one of the workers hired yesterday. You know what I think? I think he’s your accomplice. You paid him to s p i k e

the Alpha’s drink.”

I shake my head as more tears fall down my face. It pained me knowing they believed such horrible things about me.

“You’ve known me for years, Pip. You know I would never do something like that. Please believe me.”

Something soft passes through her eyes, but as soon as it appears, it disappears. A cold look takes over her face and her eyes shine with hate.

“I want to believe you, but given how you’ve been obsessed with Alec for years, I believe your obsession could have caused you to abandon your senses.”

With those words, she nails the first nail in my coffin.

H

I sag in defeat. I don’t understand why no one would believe me. I love Alec, but I would never do anything to hurt him.

“Take her to the fucking dungeon” he orders Jason, before turning to me. “The contents of the glass. you gave me have been sent for analysis. If the results come out positive that there are traces of drugs, I swear you’re going to regret ever crossing me, Sadie..”

I don’t fight as Jason drags me from the office to what will be my new home, unless I can prove I’m not guilty.

Someone was framing me; I just didn’t know who it was or why they were doing it.
