Emma's Pov

In the suite, I tried hard to contain my happiness even if it was my birthday. It was a day that Beta Alec would finally reveal that I was his mate.

We already knew we were mated after my last birthday and started dating since then. We kept our relationship secret because Alec said it'll be best if we revealed it on a more special occasion: My birthday.

“I want it to be special, babe. Memorable. You deserve special treatments,” he had said, kissing me crazy that day.

Smiling back at my reflection in the mirror, I settled for a red lipstick, a mascara and a faint makeup.

I put on my alluring lingerie I had bought at my last visit to the mall and wore it under my short skin tight gown that revealed my thighs.

The gown was black and armless, revealing my cleavage. I slid on block heels because I wasn't used to wearing heels or even dressing like this.

I was used to my simple jeans and crop tops but today, aside from the fact that it was my birthday, it was also the day that Alec would let the school know that I was his.

So I have to look sexy to represent my man. Alec was a 6 foot tall, Greek god looking, model looking hockey player at our school, Moonstone College. Most girls wanted him but he was mine. All mine.

Letting my back length straight hair fall, I brushed my bangs and admired how beautiful I looked.

“Gurllll…” my friend, Cassy exclaimed immediately I stepped out of my room. “You look so damn hot!” She added, squeaking.

“Yeah. You're definitely getting a boyfriend tonight,” Lana said, nodding with a smile. “Or better yet, she's certainly losing her virginity tonight,” she said to Cassy and they both laughed.

I rolled my eyes, trying to hide the smile that threatened to form on my face. The thought of finally having sex with Alec, making my face hot.

Cassy and Lana were my room mates and friends but while Cassy was bubbly and slightly nerdy, Lana was gothic and wild. And I, I was just an ordinary student but we somehow turned out to be good friends.

Just that, they had no idea that I and Alec were an item. I couldn't wait to see how happy they would be when Alec reveals it. I'm sure they'll be proud that I got myself one heck of a man.

“Okay, people should start coming in any day now,” Cassy said and smiled.

As if on cue, the first set of guests burst into our suites bearing gifts; booze and weed. They were already in the party mood and I loved it. It's my birthday and it should be fun.

A few minutes later, the suite was filled with people. Music was blasting through and people were catching fun. There was the disco light that made it look so… perfect.

People were either dancing, grinding or playing games. Cassy was having fun with her other friends and Lana was outside the balcony, having a smoke alongside others.

The party was in full swing. Everything was going well except for one thing missing: Alec.

I opened my phone and decided to text him but as I made to, he burst into the room, looking ridiculously handsome but weirdly… quiet.

A full smile displayed on my face as I awaited him to find me or look at me. But he didn't, which pricked me.

He went to join the guys at the other end of the living room, playing snooker and having fun.

I was confused. Why was he acting this way? Like he was some random student who just came to a party. Like he didn't know the celebrant on a personal level.

The way he acted felt off but I tried to shake it off. I went to the bar and gulped a drink, trying to shake off the feeling. But it kept nudging at me.

“Damn it,” I muttered and brought out my phone from my small pouch, texting him;

‘Hey, What's up? You gonna announce it?’

I waited for him to respond, looking at him. He brought out his phone and read the message, returned it back to his pocket and gazed at me, shrugging before going back to his game.

“What was that? What's going on?” My wolf, Alexa asked, purring inside me.

Sadness overwhelmed me as I pondered on what could be the problem.

Alec had promised to announce our relationship to the entire school. Scream it at the top of his lungs if he could but here he was, completely ignoring me like I never existed.

“Hey gurlll!” Cassy sang as she danced towards me. “What's wrong?” She asked on noticing the look on my face.

“You know… I'm not always a party freak,” I answered.

“Awwnnn,” she cooed and gave her a tight smile. “You know what you need? A drink, a liquor to boost that confidence.”

“You’re right, I crave vodka.”

She yelled for the vodka to be brought to us and just like that we did shots. In just a few shots, I felt woozy. My legs were shaky and I felt like vomiting.

I made my way to my room to vomit but as I opened the door, all the feelings of discomfort disappeared, replaced with extreme surprise and… anger.

“What the fuck!” I screamed at the sight in front of me:

My Alec, beta Alec banging the cheerleader, Quincy.

Everywhere went dead silent with only the music playing in the background until someone put it off.

Alec quickly removed his member from inside Quincy and wore his pants.

I stood frozen, cold running through me, doing nothing to quench the anger that seethed through me.

“Babe, it's not what you think,” he said, walking towards me but I raised up my hands, stopping him from moving any closer.

“We. Are. Done.” I said and walked out of the dorm, ignoring Cassy's calls.

I didn't know where I was going but I was fuming. I didn't want to be anywhere close to Alec. I was angry and seething.

It felt as if Alexa felt worse. She folded herself within me in sadness, making my chest hurt. But I allowed my legs to take control.

My stomach rumbled and I quickly bent. I vomited all the alcohol I had digested. Cleaning my mouth with the back of my hand, I kept walking until I approached my destination.

“Anything strong please,” I said to the bartender who placed shots in front of me.

I couldn't stop drinking. I wanted to forget it all. I wanted the scene I had seen to disappear from my head. I wanted the hurt to stop.

“I hate my life,” I muttered after a swing.

“That’s sad ‘cause I don't,” someone said beside me.

I turned to look at him and rolled my eyes.

Captain Lucas. The golden star boy of the hockey team. Every girl's crush and a sexy hunk.

He was Alpha of MoonBliss Pack. A notorious playboy.

And my tease.
