Chapter Five

Dalton's POV and a flashback

That night I slept horribly. Not only was I curled up deep in the forest in an abandoned badger den- a tight squeeze for your information, I dreamt of him.

That lying bastard. He played me like a fox with a foolish rabbit. I love you my foot. All he wanted to do was expose me of who I truly was and have me banished.

It was nearly a year ago. He had somehow managed to convince me that he was a fellow homosexual and was interested in me. I was mateless and desperate, turning to him as a result. It was hard trying to rule a pack without someone by your side- giving you emotional strength and support.

The wolves in my pack weren't having it either. They'd already despised me for being a 'weak leader' as I was leading them without a mate.

It seemed appropriate that I faked being mates with that weasel. I fell for it too. I didn't see through his veil of untruths.

For this I felt like an idiot.

My wolf had tried to inform me that something wasn't right but I guess the human part of me was too love struck and pushed him aside.

Then that day finally came.

"Felix?" I mumbled, rolling over to find that the bed we had been sharing for about three months now was empty. The cold sheets an indication that he hadn't been asleep in the bed for the whole night like I thought he would.

I got off the bed and shuffled to the balcony where I saw the shadow of a man leaning against the edge.

"Hey there Fel, what's bothering you?" I stood next to him and he turned to face me. Those gentle baby blue eyes were hardened orbs of pure hatred and stunned me for a while.

Then he started laughing. It wasn't happy laughter, instead it was cruel and harsh.

I flinched at that.

"Oh mighty Alpha Kane!" he sneered, "You walked into my trap like a blind idiot! I was playing with you this whole time. I'm not in love with you, we're clearly not mates! Hell, I'm not even gay!" Felix snarled dangerously, eyes flashing with demented amusement.

It took me no time at all to piece together the pieces of the puzzle that Felix had scattered and hidden messily. Felix didn't love me. I knew exactly why he was even doing this whole scheme.

"And all this to rip your little heart into shreds, wipe your title off and-" I cut him off before he even said it. "You're working alongside Thalia aren't you?" I said, surprisingly calmly, a huge contrast to the turmoil rolling around in my head.

Felix smiled, "Hey! I guess you're not as stupid as I thought! But in all seriousness, how oblivious are you to our mutiny? A large group of the pack defied you. We knew that you were a homosexual. We sure as heck knew that you were near powerless but still, you insisted on leading this pack. Not only was Thalia and I in it, even your very own little sister despised you!" he growled.

I felt hopeless then. Too deep in all my emotions with my wolf not responding to me after the countless number of times I had blocked him out. He hated me. Well so did half of the pack so he could join the club.

"Get out of here, Dalton. Step down. Under your rule this pack will crumble into nothingness and we all know that," a voice I'd grown so familiar to spoke coldly behind me.

"Dania? You too?" I turned to face the girl I grew up knowing and loving genuinely. Her dark eyes glinted maliciously and she lifted her top lip into a cruel sneer, "Just leave, brother. No one wants you here."  

With that, I turned tail and ran, not even trying to put up a fight and challenging them. I could already feel how truly weak their bond was to the pack, it was almost as if they weren't part of it so my Alpha effect wouldn't be that effective if their wolves didn't see me as a leader.

All the time I'd spent playing with Dania as we grew up. Teaching her to ride a bike. Taking her out to play because our parents were always busy. Going through the death of the two of them.

Then there was Felix, what a brilliant actor. Such humiliation. He spoke those three cursed words without batting an eyelid. Like it was almost normal.

Thalia, we had never been close friends but she was always there for me in a sense. We practically grew up together. She was just that person that had to stick with me and my other best friends because we were all from the same pack and same age.

I didn't even know why they hated me with a passion. Jealously maybe. Or just extreme homophobia. Either way, they got what they wanted so I wish them all the best for the rest of their lives.

Betrayed.

That was when I built all the walls around me. Doubling locking everything. So that no one could get in and or out.

Trust no one.



-That was a little cliché tbh. But still heartbreaking in a way if you had ever been back stabbed or omitted just like that from people's lives.
