"Yes, we thought we would love each other to death but I must have been mistaken. I don't think I can do this anymore" I muttered as my lips trembled in pain, fear and anxiety, my eyes were glowing my hurt as water welled up in it, I could not believe what I had heard. He had succeeded in taking away a happy part of me, will I ever heal from this pain? I don't think my life can ever have any meaning at this point, it is too late for me to go back. I had loved him a little too much. What would be the fate of a shattered heart that had only known how to love for as long as it could remember? There are no words to mend such a shattered fragile piece, once broken will always have to carry the scar even if it finally heals. Love, they say is a beautiful thing but what if mine was actually a nightmare? A turnaround that changed my entire life, a pit that trapped me in endless agony? I might never be able to love again. **** Gwen is the only daughter of Omega Fred and Ariana's family but she was lucky to get a Beta as a mate, attracting envy from all sides. She loves Larry with all her heart and dreamt of being his wife for years but her male best friends, Dan soiled her plan and turned her life around when he raped her and stole her virginity some days to her wedding and even told Larry about it but lied that they were having an affair.

Will she be able to visit her past? Will she even be able to find another mate? Who exactly was the person she had to replace? Will Larry ever found out the truth behind what Dan did to her?
The feeling of getting married to the person you love and also loves you back is absolutely unmatched and that is exactly what is going on with me right now. I couldn't keep calm ever since the two family met to discuss our marriage talks, it only meant that our wedding is at the door.
"Larry's family will be coming over this weekend, we have decided to take a step forward like you both wanted" my mother, Ariana informed me as she came into my room with a tray of freshly baked snacks.
The aroma of her homemade cookies is surely a signature that no one could copy, not even me. She had been my dear mother since I have been in her womb and I could swear that I felt every bit of her love since the day she knew I was in her body.
I sprang up in joy as I leapt all around the room, feeling my mom stare at me speechlessly. Everyone knew how crazy I and Larry is for each other, we love each other shamelessly and we were even tagged the lovebirds.
Happy hormones surged through every cells of my body at the news, it was like a dream come true. I have always dreamt of this moment and seeing how it's coming to a reality, I was moved to tears, I love Larry so much.
"You should take care of your health and skin as from now on, a bride shouldn't look shabby" my mother told me and I nodded, dabbing the stray tear at the corner of my eyes. "You are such a cry baby" she mocked me and I couldn't help but giggle.
Larry and I have been dating for the past four years and we never for once had any big fight that would lead to the end of our relationship. He was always gentle with me and understanding, I was an egg to him, I must never have a crack not to talk of breaking. He rarely argue with me, even if he wants me to see things from his point of view, he would table it in an appealing, gentle and loving manner that I would have no choice to follow his words. He is a perfect gentleman!
My shoulders would always rise up in pride anytime I hear the ladies gosh over him and gossip about how I was lucky to have him. Some even said I didn't deserve him because he is the Beta's son while I was just an Omega but who cares? I am a lucky lady like they had said.
I just finished having dinner when he came over to our house. My mother greeted him with the due respect as soon as he came in and he also returned the greetings with manner, she will be his mother-in-law soon after all.
"Fred is not around for now, he went out a little earlier" she informed him about my dad, "If he doesn't come back before I leave, I will come back to greet him some other time" he responded and my mother nodded before leaving us to talk.
I grabbed his hand, grinning in happiness and he was also returning the gesture as he gazed at me lovingly. "are you that happy?" was his next question and I didn't even wait for him to finish asking before I nodded aggressively and jumped on him.
My wolf howled a bit but I ignored her, she was always interrupting the important moment. Her howl was a signal to take it slow but I couldn't care, someone so hot is in front of me and she's telling me to take it slow? No, not today!
I was carried away in the moment but thankfully, he was still sane and cool headed enough to restrict my raging desires. "I think we should calm down a bit" he groaned as he tried to lift me off him but I only pouted in protest.
I whined a little "Why?" but he just grazed my cheeks.
"We will be getting married soon and I will be yours fully so let's just wait a bit. I don't want to touch you and ruin it, you are a flower that should bloom beautifully at its right time" he gently stated and I melted! How can one be this lovely and romantic? This man right here in front of me has it all.
"But.." I wanted to protest but he pecked me on the lips to shut me up instead and enveloped me in his arms, I had no choice but to surrender.
We ended up talking about many random things that I had even forgotten about the sudden horniness that overtook me several minutes ago. We discussed a lot of things till we were interrupted by the sudden voice of my father who came back from his outing.
He rose to his feet and said "Your father is here, I should go and greet him". I also stood up and supported with a tiny "Let's go".
***
Weeks passed by and both families did discuss our marriage, our marriage date was picked and it was fast approaching. In order to look good in my wedding clothes, I started cutting down on my foods, I didn't go out that much to keep my skin intact and my mother understood the assignment by making sure to feed me only healthy foods and getting me skincare herbs to improve my skin conditions.
We spent all day talking about life after my wedding with her giving me advice on how to handle things as a wife, how to support my husband and make sure to build a powerful home that is befitting the standard of a Beta's lineage.
"I should meet up with my friends, I won't be able to see them often when I move into the Beta's family" I informed my mother and she told me to have fun.
I hopped happily to the venue we agreed upon but if I had known that would be the location of the biggest tragedy to befall me, I would have just sat down at home. I would have turned them down, I would have given them excuse but I didn't see it coming, I trusted them, they were my friends after all so why doubt in the first place? I was mistaken.
I got to the house we picked and saw Jamie and Tomi going out of the house. "Where are you both heading to? I only got here now" I protested but they gave an excuse of having to deliver something very urgent so they will be back soon.
"What of Dan? Is here around?" I asked scanning everywhere and they replied a solid "Yes, he's inside so wait for us with him, we will be back soon" before sprinting up.
I entered Dan's house and greeted him cheerfully, he's the only male friend I have so we were free with each other. He is also a very good friend with Larry since we all grew up with each but we were closer than he was close with Larry.
"Welcome, the newest bride in town" he shouted with joy and I posed happily with a giggle as he ushered me in. "Jamie and Tomi will be back soon, we will start our party then" he informed me and I agreed before he extended a bottle of coconut shake which was my favorite to me.
I took it with appreciation and gulped it down without hesitation but little did I know that was the poison that would break apart my entire world. My head felt numb and my whole body was suddenly weak, my back fell on the sofa as my eyes struggled to stay open but the struggle wasn't long before I finally gave in and my eyes was closed shut.
