Ashton’s shouted behind me in frustration.
“You are so conceited, Isabella!"
Arabella went out of her way. "Do you want to make a joke out of our wedding?! It's better not to take any photos of us together!”
Arabella then gently nudged him and said in a sweet tone, “ Ashton, I already took you away from her, stop being so mean.”
“It was her who came in between us, why are you blaming yourself?”
They spoke in hushed whispers not wishing to come out as cheaters before the marriage was successfully done and when they could blame everything on me being incompetent.
Yet with my advanced werewolf hearing that had been better than others since childhood, I could hear each word that only gave me pain.
Soon a photo of Ashton with an arm around Arabella’s waist and her leaning on him in the white dress which was more like a bride was posted on Instagram and people assumed that the wedding they had been invited to was for Arabella and Ashton.
[Omg! I know you both from school days are you two still together? Wow!]
[I heard you were getting married! OMG, congratulations]
Some of our close friends didn’t comment at all for they knew the reality and felt quite disturbed with how Ashton being a beta was behaving with his mate.
Since these days Ashton was never home, three of my friends that were now aware that the marriage would not proceed came to help me pack and bid me farewell.
“Isabella, that man is a monster to do such a dirty thing.”
“That woman Arabella is not simple, I heard some rumors that she was chasing Alpha Xavier for so long, but the Alpha of Blood Moon is really a fine wolf and hated her.”
“Now I can see why he detested her;she snatched someone else’s mate and then behaves like a sweet fake woman.”
“Isabella,we support your decision to escape the wedding.I’d love to see what a wedding without a bride looks like—Arabella showing up to steal the wedding will be a huge joke!”
I listened to them and was quite surprised with the new information,but I didn’t care at the end.
I said my final goodbye to them,“Thank you so much for being there for me.I will keep in touch with you guys after I leave.All best of luck.”
The night I left for Italy was just the night before my wedding,I went to the wedding venue first.
Gigantic posters had magnified every trace of photo-editing on the wedding pictures.
