VALENCIA’S POV
Anger. That was precisely what I was feeling at the mont as I looked at Tyler’s smug expression.
Tears of helplessness brimd my eyes when I looked at Maverick. He was looking at with a suspicious gaze, and I shook my head at my fate.
Just today, I decided I would tell him everything after the alphas et, but sothing like this had to happen like this.
A scoff left my mouth.
I didn’t even know what I was feeling anymore. The anger that Tyler ca and ruined things for , spoiling my first and probably only chance at joining an alphas et because I was rogue, or if I was sad that Maverick was looking at us like we were culprits in his eyes already.
Was this how strong his feelings for really were? Though what Tyler said was true, he looked at like he was already passing the judgnt in his head.
’How can you let this man ruin everything for us and stand there smugly? Rather than attacking him and breaking his bones and teeth, you are here self-doubting everything?’ Aurora said, and I shook my head at her.
’I ruined everything. Maybe if I-’ I couldn’t complete my sentence when Aurora interrupted again.
’You have got to be fucking kidding us. What happened can’t be changed. I agree that Maverick is hot, but if he is not ready to hear us out and respect our situation, he doesn’t deserve us at all,’ Aurora reacted on my behalf, her words surprising a little since she always acted so infatuated with Maverick like she would trade anything for him.
Before I could control my body, she made lunge at Alpha Tyler.
"You, son of an unmarried man!" I shouted at him before landing a punch in his face.
I was shocked by what I did, but now that I started it, there was no going back anymore.
Now that I knew I was an alpha’s daughter too, I wasn’t going to be afraid of anyone because of my rank, even if my parents were dead. I was my supporter.
"How dare you bring that up after what you did to !" I only saw red at the mont as he looked at with a smug expression.
All the pain I had kept hidden for so long, all the miseries I suffered that I kept well hidden behind my smiles, everything started to surface.
I was imdiately reminded of the fact that I didn’t belong to them, and they were the ones who used thoroughly, and I literally destroyed my life in the hopes I would gain so love sooner or later.
How I thought he was my hero because he had saved my life when my so-called father wanted to save but was the biggest thorn in my life.
How dare he call his woman after everything?
Those mories of being beaten up, tortured, and bullied in that pack started surfacing. And I am sure this wasn’t just because he called his woman.
It was because of my heat hormones acting up, but his words triggered .
This was too much.
’I will shred him to pieces today,’ Aurora said, and for the first ti, I wasn’t afraid of her doing that. I was ready to bear all the consequences of what would happen.
But this prick here needed to die.
This was the only reason I wanted to avoid seeing him here. I had been living just fine for the last six months. Why must he appear in my life again and create havoc?
Why can’t he just leave alone?
"It must be fun for you, no? First, you gave hope in life and saved from my family. When I started liking you, you betrayed in the worst way possible. Now that I have moved on from the pain and betrayal, you have to co into my life and ruin it again!" I grabbed his collar and jerked him.
I was creating a scene and was very aware that we had an audience, but it didn’t matter at the mont.
I wanted to have these emotions out of my body that constantly pile up whenever I think about him.
Why? Deep down, I still second-guess my worth. Was I not worthy of love? Why was I the target of all the bullying?
If they knew I never belonged to them, why didn’t they return to the council when they found out I couldn’t turn? Why continue making my life a hell?
If the beta was doing this, the alpha of the pack must know about it, too.
Did Tyler and Matilda know about it, too?
They must’ve known.
They made a fool out of , and hopelessly, I hid all that bullying from the council because I thought that would make them love .
"Valencia, calm down," Tyler said, wiping the blood from the corner of his lips, and I shook my head at him.
It wasn’t Tyler who said those words; it was...
I turned to look at Dylan and Jonathan, who looked at with pitiful expressions.
My anger surged.
"Don’t! Don’t you dare look at with that pitiful expression? I dare you to think I am any less than anyone else," I said, standing up and wiping the blood on my knuckles with the back of my jeans.
My gaze t with Alpha Maverick’s, who was looking at , waiting for to explain everything. I took a deep, shaky breath.
His gaze was cold. It didn’t hold any warmth like it did earlier.
The indication was clear. He probably thought I was pathetic because of what I did just now. But I didn’t regret it. I didn’t regret an ounce of it.
"I am the woman who was Alpha Tyler’s previous mate. The one rejected because she was a lantern and couldn’t turn into a wolf was useless and weak to him. I am the one whose family betrayed her and stabbed her where it hurt the most. You want to look at pathetically and think I am not worthy of any affection anymore, be my guest. I don’t fucking care," I said to Maverick before running in another direction, using the fastest speed I could.
