BROKEN TRUST

She had already gone into the house by the time Damon came into our midst and I didn’t notice that he was standing close to me after she had left us. Then he hugged me tightly and I felt cozy in his arms but he released himself so soon enough for his long-awaited smell to leave me.

“What took you so long?”

I asked after he had freed himself from the warm embrace. Then he beamed a charming smile and gave me the package he had been holding. Then he fondled my fawn hair with his rough palm but I was too busy checking the package for what he had bought for me that I didn’t bother too much of him rumpling my hair.

“Happy birthday, Isabelle”

He said with an even more enchanting smile.

“Thanks but that doesn’t answer the question”

“The situation turned out differently than I had expected”

“Well, that explains it then”

“Who was that lady you were walking with?”,

Agatha asked out the blue. I was curious to know as well and didn’t rebuke her for interrupting our reunion.

“Martha…? She’s my future mate”

“Wait a minute, What?!”

I screamed in utter surprise. The others suddenly got interested in the topic and Clyde whistled a sound of disbelief with his lips at his unexpected response.

“You mean she’s a werewolf like the rest of us?”

“Yep”

He replied noticing the despondency on my face. I stood there awestruck and dumbfounded. I felt a deep shadow of disappointment overshadowing me completely and felt a deeper flush of agonizing pain as his words stab my heart. Agatha knew this and took him aside but he clearly wasn't interested in talking with her and he refused to comply.

“Caleb, let’s talk about this”

I grasped his hand but he easily wriggled himself free.

“I’m not interested in talking about this. This is all you should know for now”

“What’s gotten into you?”

“A change of heart, maybe. You didn’t have a wolf like I had wanted and our relationship is off. Consider this as our last time together”

His words of betrayal came as a shock to me and I stared blankly at him but he rudely ignored me. I left at once in tears because I didn’t want him to see me crying.  I was already shedding tears and I didn’t want him to see me crying so I left, heading to door. The others knew I was hurt but neither of them came to my rescue since he was the Alpha.

“Isabelle, please don’t…”

Agatha said as I walked away from him. She wanted to follow me but Damon held her back. They watched me as I left in pain. I met mom at the door but I ignored her and went straight to my bedroom upstairs. I didn’t even realize that I had taken along the gift he had given me since all I could think of was to cry my eyes out inside the comfort of my room but on getting there, I found someone else inside the room after I had lifelessly flung the door open. Shockingly, it was the lady Damon had come back with, judging by the clothes she wore when she entered into the house. I hadn’t taken notice that she wasn’t with the guest in the living room downstairs and she must have somehow snuck inside when the other neighbors wasn’t watching. She came close to me before I could say a word and confronted me with a gusto show of triumph. Her dark hair seems to fit her outfit and I could clearly see that she was irritated at the sight of me.

“Why the tears, sweetheart?”

She said sarcastically. I ignored her question and walked over to the drawers where I kept the gift beside the lamp near the pillow on the bed.

“Oh right, Damon must have told you already judging by your demeanor and I guess you must have found out about the other part then”

She said to no one in particular. I was less interested in what she had to say so, I didn’t make any response to her taunting comments. As I turned around, she blocked my way.

“Stop your blabbing and get out of my room”

“Easy there, love. Just hear me out. We’ve been hanging around a lot and  I believe he didn’t tell you that I am already pregnant with his child as his true mate”

She said with a smirk on her face.  I stared at her in disbelief and she could see that I was clearly shocked at this but I decided to play dumb about it.

“You’re lying”

“You can ask him yourself and I think he let that part out so as not to hurt you”

“Don’t say things that ain’t true and leave right now”

“You got to have to make me. After all, you’re nothing but his casual wolf sex partner”

“Take that back!”

“I won’t and there’s nothing you can do about it”

I wanted to push her outside but she was fast enough to dodge me and moved past me to where I had kept the gift. She took it in her hands while I looked on in dismay.

“Keep that back!”

“Aww, you want it come get it, little girl. Damon sure has a poor taste for picking gifts for his sluts”

She said bringing out a snow globe from the package.

“Why you….”

Before I could finish speaking, she suddenly let go of it and it smashed on the ground as soon as it fell from her hands. It smashed to pieces even before I could get a hold of it.

“Oops. Sorry Isabelle. My bad”

She said giving me a cocky look. I became angry with her but by the time I could react she was already tossing my clothes from the closet outside. I was upset about it and rushed at her. She fought back but I was stronger. I managed to get her out of the room and we ended up coming closer to the staircase. We tussled together trying to overcome each other’s strength and in the brief moment of anger, I pushed her down the stairs and she tumbled down to the bottom of the stairs. The noise of a fight as well as the sound of her crashing down had disrupt the dancers in the party and little did I know that Damon and the others were having some fun with the group of teenagers in the room before the fight even started. Martha had fallen on the side of her back and clasped her back as she groaned in pain. Agatha and the others came rushing to meet her struggling to get up from the stairs as I stared in guilt as she was being rescued by Damon who was among those that met her at the bottom of the staircase. He helped get her up from the ground with a greater attention that I haven’t seen him done to me once before. Then he glared at me when he saw me standing from whence she had fallen.

 He left the victim in the hands of his pack members and went towards me. Mom was with them when they left with Martha except for Agatha and Clyde who stayed back. They knew he was upset about what I did and couldn’t clearly deny what obviously looked like to everyone. He climbed up to where I was but he stopped halfway up the stairs.

“Isabelle, I can see that you want to kill my unborn child. So, henceforth, you are no longer part of the pack. Don’t call me or even text me”

“What are you saying? Damon It’s me, Isabelle. You....can’t do this to me”

I stuttered in utter dejection.

“Of course, I can. This will be the last time we see each other. Goodbye, Isabelle”

He said and went back. Clyde wanted to talk to him but he pushed himself through their midst and left all three of us transfixed. And from the three of us, I was the most disappointed let alone broken hearted with his betrayal.
