I can't help but half-smirked and half-grinned to her way too even though a deep part of me screams that he's only using me to ignite that flame of jealousy in Shannon's heart.
Beta Nathan kept on lying but never managed to master it nor remember his own lies.
I opened my mouth to say something, but Shannon held up a hand.
“Excuse me,” then Shannon dragged herself out of our sight.
Nathan pushed me aside and rushed after his ex-girlfriend in panic. Her running away from him is probably a signal for him to start his chase-after-her mission. “Shannon, wait!”
“Nathan!” I called after him, but my voice only echoed in the air. I was left sitting there at the table all by myself, looking like the dumb fiancee who doesn’t know what the fuck is going on.
Nathan once told me that Shannon easily got jealous and would always tend to cry every time he saw her with another woman.
That’s also maybe the reason why she left him, according to my fiance, because Nathan is friendly towards females and Shannon doesn’t like that.
She wants to be the only woman in his life. The only woman he'll look at, he'll touch and kiss and smell.
“Miss, your arm!” An Omega waitress shrieked.
My mind was too focused on both of them that I didn’t noticed the bowl of soup burned my arm when Beta Nathan stood abruptly and chased after Shannon.
When I wiped myself clean, I returned home alone. My heart cracked last night because of the shaking of his head as his answer, and now it has become utterly broken because of what happened.
I video-called my brother who was on another pack for business, crying.
“Alpha, I’ve thought about the arranged marriage you mentioned...” I paused to take a deep breath, wiping my tears with the back of my hand. “I’m now agreeing to marry Alpha Gerald of the Black Stone Pack!”
Even my brother on the other line inhaled a sharp breath. “That’s so random, Mor. What happened? Did Beta Nathan cheat on you?”
“Uhmmm...” I hesitated. But my Alpha, my older brother, seemed to already guessed correctly just by my tone and quiet sobs. “Not really.”
He chuckled. “That’s the reason why Nathan is no longer my right-hand Beta really. Though since he came from a prestigious Beta family, he remains as a White Woods Pack’s Beta.”
