My Mate and Brother's Betrayal

Rosalyn POV

My eyes flutter open, and I want to puke when I realize I'm not only in Reese's room but in his bed. A bed that he was in screwing my brother not too long ago. I tumble out of bed and rush into the bathroom. I barely make it to the toilet before I empty the little I have in my stomach. A firm hand on my back makes me freeze. I whirl around expecting to see Reese, but I'm shocked to see my father. "Oh, princess," he says, and I burst into tears.

He pulls me into his strong arms and I bury my face in his chest. He rubs circles on my back. "It's going to be alright princess, I promise." After a few minutes, I pull back, wondering how much he actually knows. "Dad, where are Bryce and Reese?" He's eyes are filled with anger and sympathy. "Your brother is in a cell for hitting you." I'm taken back because I had hoped my parents would understand, but I never expected Bryce to be in the cells.

"Reese is in his father's office waiting for us. We need to talk about what happened and how we move forward, princess. Can you do that for me" he asks. "So, you know why Bryce hit me?" "I do, let's go to the Alpha's office, and we can get this all worked out. I promise you, princess, your brother will never lay another finger on you again."

When we reach the Alpha's office, my father pushes the door open. The minute I step inside I'm engulfed in arms that I never want to touch me again. The tingles that once made my heart race are gone. Before I can scream for him to get his filthy hands off me, his father speaks. "Reese put Rosalyn down now. We have a lot to discuss." There is a long pause before he finally gives into his father's command.

As soon as I'm out of his grasp, I step back. Hurt flashes in his eyes, but I can't bring myself to feel bad after all the pain he caused me by lying. I've lost my brother and mate in the same day just because they couldn't be honest. "Rosalyn, please have a seat," Alpha Robert says, pointing to the chair in front of his desk. I do as he asks, never sparing Reese another glance.

"Now, I know your upset and rightfully so. I'm sure everything you saw earlier was quite a shock for you." I stay quiet even though Zora is growling at his words. "Reese, your father, and I have talked at length about the situation and I believe we have come up with a solution that will make everyone happy." I look back at my father and he nods.

"You will take back your rejection that should never have been spoken." "Excuse me," I say no longer able to hold my tongue. "You heard me, Rosalyn. You were meant to be Reese's mate and the Luna of this pack. I understand that the situation is not ideal, but you have an obligation to the pack to get past this" he says and my body stiffens.

"The goddess chose you, and you cannot refuse what she has destined for you. Now as I was saying, you will take back your rejection. We will move forward with the ceremony in two days making Reese Alpha and you Luna of the Black Rose Pack."

"Reese will mate and mark you. He will also mate and mark Bryce. You will share a mate as many siblings do. It is common among our kind. This will ensure you will not feel the pain of infidelity when they are together and everyone will get what they want," he says.

This time when he stops speaking, I do look at Reese. I see hope and love in his eyes. Bile rises in my throat and I turn to look at my father. "You agree with this. Agree that I should have to share the mate that was meant for only me. Accept that they betrayed me for over a year."

"Princess, I want you to be happy, but I also want Bryce and Reese to be happy. Don't you see this arrangement would make that possible?" "No, no it wouldn't. I wouldn't be happy. I will not share my mate. I will not willingly know my mate is going to betray me with my brother, who just today hit me," I say standing to my feet.

"I will not take back my rejection. He and Bryce have betrayed me and you two are putting your stamp of approval on their actions instead of telling them how wrong they are. They betrayed me and the goddess. They can live with their actions. Bryce can be Luna."

"Princess" he says, but I cut him off. "Don't you dare call me that again. I stopped being your princess when you decided my happiness didn't matter. When you put the needs of your son and Alpha before me." My father looks like I just slapped him, but I don't care. I start walking toward the door. "Rosalyn, you will not disrespect me, your father, this pack, or your mate." "I have no father or mate. As for you, Alpha, I have no pack. I, Rosalyn Rain Myers, break all ties with the Black Rose Pack and Alpha Robert Orick."This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

I feel the pack bond snap and Zora whimpers. Two roars rip through the office before I'm lifted off the ground. "Rosalyn, what have you done," my father whispers. When I wake up, I'm not sure where the hell I am until I see the bars. I scramble to sit as I look around what I assume is a dungeon. I've never seen this part of the pack house.

I stiffen when I hear my name spoken softly from behind me. I turn to see Bryce who looks like he went a couple of rounds in a fight and lost. I move to the other side of the cell, away from him. I can't even look at him right now. He f**ks my mate, treats me like sh*t for the last year, and then he hits me. "Rosie, I'm so sorry. I was such a ba**ard. I don't blame you for hating me. I didn't mean to fall in love with Reese. I swear, but I do love him. I love you too, Rosie, and I'm sorry I hurt you. I'm so sorry."

I stay facing away from him, but I let the tears flow freely. I grieve the loss of the man that I was meant to love until my last breath. I grieve the loss of the man that was my protector until he wasn't. I can't forgive either of them. They don't deserve my forgiveness. They made their choice, and now I'm making mine.

I'm not sure how much time passes when I hear a door being opened at the end of the hallway. I close my eyes not wanting them to know I was awake. "Reese, please forgive me. I'm sorry I hit her. I was angry she was hurting you," Bryce says. "Did you apologize to her?" "I did, she won't talk to me. She won't even look at me" he says.

"You're lucky Fallon didn't kill you for hitting his mate. Do you not understand that she is my destined mate? As much as I love you Bryce, I need her. She is the other half of my soul. I can't lose her." "I'm sorry Reese. The thought of you two together makes me feral. I will learn to accept it, but I'm not sure if she will," Bryce says.

I will never accept it. It sounds like Fallon wants me more than Reese does. As if Bryce can hear my thoughts, he asks the question. "I know you need her but do you love her like you love me?" I squeeze my eyes shut when I hear them kissing. I fight back the need to vomit. I also try to control Zora who is trying to push forward.

"I love you, Bryce. Nothing will change that, but I love Rosalyn too. I need you both to be complete. I need you to accept that, or we can't be together," Reese says. "I'll accept it. I love you Reese. I will help you convince her that we can all be happy together." "These two are out of their minds. We need to get the hell out of this place. We will never let him mark us," Zora says and I couldn't agree more.
