Chapter 2

• KIE
• He slowly began to undress me as he undressed himself as well.
• The room seemed to hum with anticipation as we slowly shed our clothes. Every inch of exposed skin felt like a live wire, and I knew that we were both eager to feel the spark of connection.
• …..
• The night morning I woke up with a slight headache, I groaned sitting up from the bed slowly.
• What happened?
• My eyes blurred as I looked around the room, everything that happened resurfacing back.
• I gasped in shock as realization hit me hard.
• I followed Kristen to this party, I began to feel funny and ended up in this room and then…..I had sex.
• “Oh my gosh!” I gasped in a loud voice, covering my mouth in shock.
• I was naked and the pain I felt down there was enough reminder on how the night went.
• I had a one night stand with a strange man.
• Speaking of the strange man, where was he? I looked around the room and it was empty.
• I quickly pulled the sheets up to my chest, as if that would somehow hide the shame I was feeling. My heart was pounding so loudly I was sure the whole building could hear it.
• The memories of last night were still fuzzy, but I knew one thing for sure: I'd made a huge mistake. I didn't even know this guy's name! And now I'd given myself to him in the most intimate way possible.
• I slid out of bed, my legs still wobbly from the night before. I needed to get out of here, to go home and pretend this had never happened.
• I was sure Kristen was looking for me, how would I even explain to her. I would not even have the heart to tell her of the shameful thing I did.
• I quickly slid into my clothes and arranged my hair.
• I was about to leave when my eyes caught something.
• It was a note and it read.
• “This is for your services for last night!” Underneath the note was an envelope full of cash.
• Was I mistaken for a slut!
• My jaw dropped as I stared at the cash-filled envelope. It was as if the world had just gone still, frozen in a moment of disbelief.
• Was this a joke? Or was this guy for real? Did he think I was some kind of prostitute?
• I could feel my cheeks burning with humiliation. I snatched up the envelope and shoved it into my bag, not even bothering to count the money inside. All I wanted was to get out of there and never think about this night again.
• With shaking hands, I opened the door and stepped out into the hallway.
• As I closed the door, my eyes caught the number plate.
• It was not ‘201’ instead it was ’210’ that was on the door.
• That's not my room number, I was the intruder.
• The realization hit me like a brick to the head. I was the intruder. I'd invaded this guy's space and he thought I was there to... What, seduce him?
• I covered my face with my hands, embarrassment and horror washing over me in equal measure. What had I been thinking? How could I have made such a stupid mistake?
• I rushed down the hallway, not even bothering to look where I was going. I just needed to get out of there, away from the shame and embarrassment that was overwhelming me.
• “Fuck!” Cursing silently, I shook my head and headed straight out of the hotel to try and find Kristen.
• “Kristen!” I called upon seeing Kristen. I quickly ran to meet her.
• “Kristen, I'm so sorry I disappeared. We have to leave now and get home before mom and dad come back..” I said to her but she held a passive look on her face.
• “Kristen?” I called in a low voice as I stared at her.
• Then she suddenly cried out.
• “Mom, dad! Kie's here. The slut is here!”
• “Wh..at are you say…ing?” I stuttered as I glanced at Kris, why was she calling out for my parents and why were my parents at the hotel.
• “Mom, dad” I gasped in fear as they appeared with a very angry look on their faces.
• “See mom. I told you. Kienna left the house last night, though I warned her not to. She still left and when she didn't come back on time, I decided to call you guys here” Kris reported as I opened my mouth in shock.
• What the hell! What rubbish was Kris sprouting. I left the house?? She left as well!!! She convinced me to leave.
• I felt like I was suffocating under the weight of my parents' disappointment. It was bad enough that I was an Omega, but now Kris's lies had made me look even worse in their eyes.
• I could feel hot tears welling up in my eyes, but I fought them back, unwilling to give Kris the satisfaction of seeing me cry.
• “I even saw Kienna go into a room with a man. A fat, old, ugly man” Kristen lied to my parents.
• “I always knew Kie slept around, but I never knew that she slept around with old men. She has porn in her laptop and I catch her masturbating most of the times” Kris accused and all i did was open my mouth ajar.
• Which fat old man did I have sex with? Though it was indirectly true that I had sex with a man, it was unintentionally and it was because I was feeling funny.
• Could it be that Kris was behind it? She gave me that drink.
• I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Kristen was making up lie after lie, painting me as some kind of sex-crazed maniac. And the worst part was that my parents were buying it, their expressions growing colder and harder by the second.
• “Move! We'll talk at home” my father stated, walking away with my mother.
• He clearly wanted to avoid the embarrassment as people were already staring at our little drama.
• …….
• TWO WEEKS LATER
• It's been two weeks since the unfortunate incident and my life went from bad to worse.
• My father did not spare a moment to remind me of how useless I was, my mom was so disappointed that she didn't even say a word to me.
• And Kris? She became a nightmare. She always taunted me.
• As I walked past the sitting room, I saw Kristen and mom there, chatting.
• I totally ignored them and headed to the fridge.
• My heart was still pounding with anger and hurt, but I was determined not to let Kristen see how much she'd gotten to me. So, I walked past her and my mom with my head held high, my jaw clenched tight.
• I made way to leave when I felt that sudden nauseous feeling. I wanted to throw up!
• I looked around and my eyes caught a sink near the kitchen. I quickly ran there and bent over the sink.
• After I was done, I turned out the tap to rinse my mouth.
• “Mom, I think Kie is pregnant,” Kristen uttered from behind me as I froze.
• My heart skipped a beat as I heard Kristen’s words. Pregnant? No, that couldn’t be right. I mean, it was impossible, right?
• But… my heart literally stopped beating as I remembered the man from that night.
• “Kristen, what are you talking about? I can’t be pregnant,” I said, trying to keep my voice steady, despite the panic rising within me. I rinsed my mouth again, the cold water feeling like a shock against my skin.
• “Of course you are!” Kristen scoffed, placing her hands on her waist.
• “I've been watching you for days now. Mom, she's always sleeping and looks tired and this is not the first time I've caught her puking. Let's not forget how she shamed us weeks ago” Kristen pointed out.
• She was right! I was pregnant!
• But for who? I had no idea.
• “Mom…mom..” I began to stammer as I looked at my mom who just looked at me in disbelief, unable to say anything.
• Of course she was disappointed, I was just 18.
• And Kristen, what have I done to her to make her hate me this much? We used to be the best of sisters.
• “Who's the father??” A voice thundered in the room and we all turned to see my father.
• He looked so angry and the hatred he directed at me was worse than ever.
• “Dad..” I stammered, tears filling my eyes.
• “Who's the father??” He demanded, grabbing me by the elbow.
• “Father…” I cried still.
• “I asked who's the father!!” he yelled, slapping right across the face.
• “Kurt” my mom called, stepping forward to hold my dad.
• “Stay out of this woman..” he pointed at my mom angrily as he began to shake me violently.
• “Now tell me who the father of that bastard is?? Who got you pregnant Kienna??”
• “I don't know!” I cried out helplessly as my father slowly let go of me.
• “What do you mean by you don't know?” He asked in a low voice.
• “Have you slept with so many men that you don't even know the bastard that planted a seed inside you?” He asked angrily and all I could do was sob.
• It was not my fault, it was Kristen's. She drugged me, she made me go to the party and I ended up having a one night stand with a stranger.
• “Dad, I can explain..” I began wiping off my tears as he stepped away from me.
• “There's nothing to explain. I can't have such a disgrace in my house and in my pack!” He stated as I looked at him in confusion.
• What did he mean by that?
• “Kurt…you can't..” my father raised his hands in the air, stopping my mom from speaking further.
• “You'll leave the pack. Kienna. You'll leave here with your shame. I hearby banish you from Great hills Pack..” he pronounced and I could only stand in shock.
• “You're to leave immediately..”
