Dangerous Lycan: Claim Betrayed Luna’s Second Chance Mate

I slump onto the bed, plunging into the duvet as the day’s work weighs on me.

“How was your day at work?”

Mum had noticed my gloomy presence as soon as I returned home from the office which she had encouraged me to go to.

“It was horrible.” I muttered flatly.

“Why horrible? I thought you would have the best day at work today since it’s been a while.”

“Well, I didn’t,” I spat as I sat up, “while I walked down the hallway at the office, I saw everyone’s eyes on me. I could hear them talking about me and whispering my name in every corner. Mother, I have become a laughing stock amongst the people. Some people have this pitying look in their eyes when they stare at me. I hate that Raymond and Rachel had done this to me. They’ve completely ruined my life. I can’t keep living like this.”

“Your Dad and I have decided to hold a meeting with Raymond and his parents.” She declared after a little while.

“Mum, I don’t think that there is any need for that. I mean I have already accepted my faith.”

“We weren’t the only ones that called for this meeting. Raymond’s parents also seek an explanation to why his son has chosen another mate despite all that you had gone through for him.”

“I am still not in support of this.”

“I thought you wanted this?”

“I know, I mean I thought so too but right now I can’t care to look at him anymore.”

“You wouldn’t have to.”

“I sincerely have a bad feeling about this.”

“I don’t understand.”

“What if it is some kind of ploy to escalate things. I think we should let this die.”

“After all that Raymond has put you through? I watch you everyday as you wallow in pain and self pity in this house. While you should be out there in your daily endeavours achieving your dreams and living your best life you are here all day only leaving the house after being forced. I don’t like what this man has done to you.”

“I will get past all of that. You said it yourself or do you not believe that I would?”

She looked away.

“Mum?”

“Mum! You aren’t saying anything? I can’t believe that you would think that I would not be okay.”

“I know you would darling but this thing takes time and I don’t think that you should suffer for that long for Raymond or Racheal. They aren’t worth it.”

“I can’t believe this mum.”

“Hey…” she tried holding on to me as I moved her hands away from my grip.

“I need to be alone mum.”

Even after my warnings and desires not to see Raymond again, Raymond’s parents appeared at the werewolf council where they had chosen for the meeting. Every being of me wanted to stay home but then, I should be out there speaking my mind. Maybe somehow, I would get the house.

As I approached the door, I stood for a bit as I heaved a sigh from within my chest. I stretched out my hands to hold the door knob and as such pulled it away just immediately. Tears gradually gathered by the sides of my eye lids in which I brushed away immediately. I didn’t want to be seen as weak, not after a couple of weeks after I was rejected. I shouldn’t let Raymond see that I grieved over him as my heartbeat suddenly increased and my chest tightened again. Without another thought, I touched the knob pushing the door open and like the bravest thing ever, I stepped in and suddenly the room felt bigger than it actually was. The neck of everyone twisted towards my direction and immediately I sighted Raymond not wanting to see anymore of his fake expressions. I looked away and with just a glance surveyed the room until I found my mother with a space left beside her in which I settled in.

“Thank you everyone for coming, ” the leader of the werewolf town council echoed and continued, “for a couple of weeks now, we have heard rumours that Raymond Klein has rejected his mate Clara Malthus and had gotten a new mate Racheal Stone. And from what we have witnessed so far these rumours are only true. People have been going around spilling wrong information on this matter as to why Raymond had rejected his mate and Mr and Mrs Klein as well as Mr and Mrs Malthus which are the parents of Clara and Raymond had called for this meeting to know the reason why Raymond had rejected their beloved daughter Clara. We would let the Malthus speak as they were the ones who first called for this meeting.”

My father began with the sad tale, “Our daughter, Clara returned with her luggage’s a couple of week ago looking all sad and weary,”

I wished so much that he had used a different word to describe my state. I didn’t want Raymond to think that he had succeeded in putting me through misery. I looked away from the rest of the people resting my eyes on the band wall as he continued.

“She had told us that she had caught Raymond in bed with her best friend Racheal and when she confronted them, Raymond rejected Clara as his mate claiming that he never loved her. That’s an outright lie in fairness to our daughter after all that we did for you,” my father directed to Raymond who only smirked.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

“Mother… Father and the entire werewolf council,” Raymond began, “I loved Clara so dearly that I would do anything for her…”

“What bloody lie do I perceive?!” I barked as mother held me down.

“Mr and Mrs Malthus hold your daughter or she would be sent out of the meeting!” The leader of the werewolf council yelled and Raymond continued.

“… but on the eve before we were mated I caught Clara in bed with a strange man… ”

“What?! Oh my God! Raymond! That’s a bloody lie Raymond! He is fucking lying!” I gasped.

“… I felt betrayed and wished that she would tell me about maybe I would have forgiven her and she would have gained my trust again but she didn’t tell me about it instead she kept in with her secret meeting with this strange man which only hurt me. So I thought about what I would be doing with someone that doesn’t even want me. So I want nothing to do with Clara Malthus anymore for she is a cheat and not to be trusted.”

“Raymond, you dare lie against me? After all that I did for you?”

“Order!” The elderly man exclaimed as I crashed back to my seat at this point, there was no holding back the tears as it came straight from a broken heart.

“How could he lie against me mum?” I muttered.

“Relax Clara, I see what you mean now and Raymond would not go unpunished for all the lies and atrocities he has put you through.” She sounded assured and for once a smile stretched my lips as the thought to make him pay for all he had done to me came to mind.
