Zhera's POV:
The night was colder than ever. I could feel my life slipping away. My dreams were shattered and all I could do was drown myself in my tears. I had lost everything in one night; My home, my family, my future, my best friend, the love of my life and my reputation.
Last night was our seventh year anniversary and my birthday too. He asked me to be his moonmate on my eighteenth birthday. So every anniversary falls on my birthday. I wanted to make an exception and surprise him this time. I booked a room in a hearthhall and decorated it with his favourite colour . I bought all the expensive wine I could find. I made the bed and decorated it with rose petals. It felt perfect. I was ready to give my first time to him.
I waited for an hour but he didn't show up. I didn't give up though; I still waited thinking maybe it might be due to traffic. I waited until it was midnight. I was furious. He stood me up on our seventh anniversary. I drank all the wine and ended up trashing the room. I was still hoping he'd come though.
I was fed up at dawn so I headed out to go back home. But as I crossed the hallway, I heard his voice. And strange enough my best friend's voice too. I couldn't fathom what I was hearing but I was sure it was their voices. So I kicked the door open. And there it was, just as I had thought.
My best friend, Zynara and my moonmate, Varnyx under the covers, making out. And they didn't even have the decency to stop when they saw me come in. Zynara just rolled her eyes and Varnyx just growled and kept going. At that moment I knew I had seen enough. I went back to the room to pack my remaining belongings and leave.
But before I could make it there, a strong hand pulled me into a room, closed the door behind me and started kissing my neck fiercely. As soon as I saw the blood red colour of his eyes I knew it was a vampire and I grew more alarmed. I struggled to break free from his grip but he was too strong and clearly had no intention of leaving me.
I was still under the influence of the wine so I knew if I didn't leave now, I might lose control. He didn't seem to have any intention of killing me because if he did, he would've sank his fangs into my neck already. But I wasn't going to stay to find out if he'll change his mind. So I used force and called on my caracal wild cat and gave him a deep scratch or two but it was useless against a vampire.
He picked me up and threw me on the bed. Before I could even react he was already on top of me. I couldn't even scream since he had his lips on mine and if I tried to open my mouth he'll force his tongue in. I was helpless and damn he tasted so good. I knew I wasn't supposed to be thinking that but I couldn't help it.
And before I knew it, I was kissing him back, hard. We quickly tore each other's clothes apart. He pressed his body against mine as he dry humped. The only thing keeping his manhood at bay was his boxers and my panties. He squeezed my boobs so hard I thought they were going to come off.
He quickly got rid of his boxers. He placed my legs together, raised them up and slid my panties off. Then putting each leg on a shoulder, he entered me hard. He kept moving faster and harder. He came 7 times changing positions each time. I don't even know if it was really seven since I passed out.
The next morning, I woke up on the other side of the bed a complete mess. I immediately took a quick shower and got dressed and before he could wake up, I received a call from my sister, Thyra asking me to come home immediately.
As soon as I entered the main hall, I received a slap on the face from my father.
"Are you crazy? Many people told me to keep a close eye on you. But I just brushed it off and let you off and now you bring such shame to our family?" My dad, the King of Caracal wild cat Kingdom, King
"What's wrong dad." I asked still unsure of what was going on. I thought, 'It couldn't possibly be about what happened last night right ? We were alone.'
"Oh so now you dare to play pretend after what you did." He said.
"Dad I don't get it." I asked still confused and hoping he didn't know about last night.
"How do you explain this?" He asked handing me his phone.
On the screen I saw a picture of me and that vampire sleeping naked covered with quilt. And it had made the headlines on every site. And the caption was 'Vampire prince is drugged by Caracal wild cat Princess. Looks like the cat got out of the bag.'
"What? Dad you believed that? I was the victim there. I was drunk and he pulled me into his room. He literally forced himself on me!" I yelled trying to keep my tears at bay.
"Oh stop lying. It's so annoying. You obviously did it." I turned around to look at the owner of the voice and to my absolute horror, it was Zynara. The audacity she had to show up after what she did.
"I saw her pull the vampire into her room. And before that she had already told me how she planned on drugging the vampire prince. I tried to talk her out of it but she just wouldn't listen." She continued.
"How can you say that? You know that isn't true. For all I know you might've been the one who planned this. And how can you say you tried to advice me to not do something I never even said I'll do when you were the same person who slept with my boyfriend. And on our seventh anniversary too." I called her out on what she did.
"Cut the crab already! Why will the elegant first young mistress of the Fox clan do something like that. That's absurd." Dad said brushing off what I said.
"Great. So you would believe an outsider over your own daughter." I said somberly.
"What choice do I have when the proof is right in front of me? You know that the vampires are trying to get us beneath them. Word has already spread about my daughter doing this. This is a disgrace to me especially when he's not your fiancé or husband. In exchange for announcing that you are his fiancé, he would want us to agree to be beneath them and that's not happening. The only way out is if I have nothing to do with you." Dad said looking at me with disdain.
"Wait dad, what are you saying?" I asked with a heavy heart.
"I'm saying that I'm severing all ties with you. You are no longer my daughter. You can see yourself out." He said with no emotion and started walking away.
"Guards, throw her out." He said without looking back.
"Wait dad please you can't do this. I didn't—"
"Guards didn't you hear what the king said, get her out of here!" Before I could even finish my sentence, Zynara cut me off.
"You monster. I should've known better than to trust you after everything Thyra said." I yelled at Zynara struggling to hold back my tears. The guards tried to touch me but I screamed " Don't touch me I can go by myself!" Even though my father had disowned me, I still was the most powerful female caracal wild cat in the clan and my aura was unmatched. I walked out trying hard to not break down.
