Love and Lies

Chapter 9

Moonbeam's POV

I was walking through the forest. I was following something but I didn't know what. I heard water rushing nearby and owls were hooting. I could hear branches and twigs rustling in the wind and I could only see a few feet in front of me. Then, all of a sudden I heard a twig snap right beside me and I started to run. I shifted into my wolf and ran as fast as I could. I knew I was being followed but I didn't know who was following me or why. I saw a shadow of someone running on my right but I couldn't see who it was. Another shadow showed up on my left. I ran faster and harder until I came to a clearing. I looked around and heard a voice call me, but before I could turn around, everything became nothing.

I sat up quickly and looked around. A shadow seemed to pass by my window but I wrote it off as my imagination. I looked down beside me to see Liam still asleep. I slowly moved to edge of the bed before getting off the bed. The wooden floor boards creeped underneath my weight and I cringed. I tiptoed out of the room as quietly as possible. I closed the door behind me softly and made my way to the kitchen downstairs. I heard a noise from downstairs, like boots hitting the wooden floors. It creeped me out to no end and I slowly made my way towards the steps. The sounds became but a distant memory however, when I heard noises coming from my mate's room.

I was worried that he was hurt and needed help so I moved to the door. I opened the door slowly and peeked inside to see if he was alright, but I found that he was more than alright. In fact, he was probably feeling great since he was mating with someone else.

The sounds of them mating and my mate enjoying it just broke my heart into peices. Tears began to fall steadily down my cheeks and I tried to hold in the sobs that were fighting to get out. The female must have heard me because she looked over at me and smiled evilly. She even made everything a bit louder just to rub it in my face. I shook my head and slammed the door closed, not caring if I woke anyone up.

I couldn't believe that my mate was cheating on me. My heart was breaking and my wolf was howling in pain. I couldn't take it. So I ran to my room, jumped in the bed, and cuddled Liam closer to me while I cried. Liam stirred and looked up at me groggily.

"Beam? What's wrong?" He looked and sounded extremely worried but I just gave him a watery chuckle.

"You were right Liam. Alpha Dayton is a very mean person." He nodded his head and hugged me tightly. He squeezed me with everything he had.

"It'll be okay, Beam. You still have me and I love you so everything has to be okay." I smiled at him and kissed his forehead. I didn't say anything to him but I had this feeling that this was only the beginning of it all.

"All I need right now is you Liam. Just you and me buddy." He nodded and cuddled up to me. I hugged him tight and fell back to sleep.

"Beam? Oh Beeeeammmm. Wake up! it's time for breakfast!!!" I opened my eyes to see Liam jumping on the bed. I laughed and shook my head.

"Liam, stop jumping on the bed."

"Then get up! I'm hungry and I don't want to miss breakfast!!" He yelled as he kept jumping.

"Okay. Okay. Hold on. Let me get dressed and we can go to the dining hall." I got up and threw on some skinny jeans, a shirt, and a beanie.

Once Liam saw that I was done getting dressed, he grabbed my hand and dragged me down the halls. I laughed and tried to keep up with him. I got that uneasy feeling again whenever I looked at Liam but I wrote it off as me being paranoid from that dream.

Once we got to the dining hall, I saw Dayton sitting at the Alpha, Beta, and Delta table and pulled Liam back. He tried pulling me to their table again but I stood still.
