Free Web NovelChapter 14: Chapter 14: Always The Second Choice
Nyra opens her bedroom door slowly, the robe wrapped tightly around her still-trembling body.
Her legs feel weak, the ache between her thighs a constant reminder of what just happened.
She knows it’s Adrian with the pills, can smell his pheromones lingering by the doorway.
She expects an awkward, quick interaction, but as she steps into the hallway, Nyra freezes.
Anna stands in the living room, face red with rage as she takes in the scene. The heavy scent of sex and rut still lingers thick in the air.
"Adrian....what the fuck did you do!?"
Adrian turns at the sound of her angry voice, and the pharmacy bag slips from his fingers and hits the floor with a soft thud.
Morning-after pills and water bottles spill across the hardwood, rolling toward Anna’s feet like damning evidence.
Adrian’s face pales. He’s so fucked.
Anna explodes. "You fucking whore!" She storms forward, ignoring Adrian entirely, gaze completely pinned on Nyra.
"You’re so pathetic that you couldn’t even keep your legs closed for a month, aren’t you?" Nyra blinks in quiet anger. She’s just made the worst decisions of her fucking life; she really doesn’t need this right now.
"Homewrecker! Throwing yourself at him the second I’m not here. You think spreading your defective little legs makes you special? You’re nothing but a mistake the Goddess forced on us!"
Nyra flinches, expecting Adrian to say something. Anything. Explain he was the one who initiated it...but he just stays silent, standing frozen between them.
Anna doesn’t stop. She rounds on Nyra fully, voice rising with every venomous word. "Look at you. Did you cry about being a virgin while you ruined everything? You’re disgusting. No one wanted you before the bond and no one will want you after. Our parents were right for wishing you were never born--"
"Anna, babe..." Adrian’s voice cuts her off. "Let’s not go there..."
Anna spins toward him, stunned. Tears glisten in her eyes. "You’re defending her? After what she did? After you fucked her behind my back?"
Nyra watches Adrian’s face. He knows the truth. He was the one who lost control. But he says nothing.
The silence speaks volumes.
He is letting her take the fall. He never intended to defend her, even after everything.
And with every vile word Anna has thrown, her hatred for him only grew.
Anna keeps talking, tears spilling over. "Did you want this, Adrian? Did you want her?"
Adrian looks down. He knew he had wanted it. In the heat of the rut, she was what his wolf had craved.
But he stays silent, jaw locked, gaze dropping to the spilled pills on the floor.
Nyra frowns. Adrian is such a fucking jerk!
Anna wipes her tears angrily, pulling her phone out with shaking hands. She starts a live on IG, angling it so only Nyra appears in the frame.
"Anna, this should be between us!" Adrian tries to grab the phone, but she swerves past him, shoving the phone closer.
She zooms in on the hickeys on her neck.
"I think everyone deserves to know the truth," then she drops the camera to the morning-after pills scattered across the floor.
"My sister slept with my boyfriend."
The phone starts buzzing with notifications almost immediately.
"Stop filming me," Nyra snaps, reaching for the phone, but Anna shifts back.
"No!" She cries. "Tell them how long you’ve been trying to steal him! Tell everyone how you couldn’t wait a month before opening your legs for him."
Nyra, already fed up with the entire drama, lunges forward and knocks the phone out of Anna’s hand. It clatters to the floor, but it is too late. The damage is already done.
Anna snatches the phone back, a cruel smile breaking through her tears. "Too late, defective. Everyone’s already seen it!"
They had heard the names. Seen the hickey marks on her neck. Seen the way she knocked the phone down like she was guilty.
And Anna, who has always been painfully popular--beautiful, alongside being Adrian’s girlfriend for two years.
Of course everyone took her side without hearing the full story.
Nyra’s and Adrian’s phones start ringing almost immediately. Notifications flood in--one of Anna’s friends had screen-recorded the live and posted it on the school’s page.
In just a few minutes, the clip already has several thousand likes and hundreds of comments.
Anna doesn’t wait. She shoves the phone back into her small purse, shoots Nyra another disgusted look, and storms off.
Adrian hesitates only for a second, looking between them. And for a moment, the bond pulls him toward Nyra, urging him to protect what they’ve just shared.
He shoves it down, choosing Anna instead.
"I need to go after her," he says in a flat voice. He doesn’t even look at Nyra as he says it.
He just grabs his keys and follows Anna out the door, leaving Nyra standing alone among the spilled pills. freewēbnoveℓ.com
The condo door slams shut.
Nyra sinks to the floor, back against the wall. Her phone keeps vibrating as several more comments pour in:
"Homewrecker whore"
"Defective slut trying to trap the Alpha heir"
"Anna deserves better"
"Nyra should just disappear"
Nyra doesn’t move for a long time, staring at her phone as the notifications keep coming.
The video is already everywhere on TikTok. People have made edits and memes.
There are hate. Mockery. And threatening comments.
"Someone like you doesn’t deserve the future Luna title."
"Adrian should reject you already."

There are comments from pack members, old classmates, even some teachers flooding in, questioning who posted the video on the school’s page. But Nyra knows it’s just a farce.
And now, just as things were starting to get better, just as people were starting to accept them--everything is all back to zero.
Her wolf whimpers inside her, hurt and confused, but she forces it to shut up, ignoring the several missed calls from Julian as she turns the phone off.
Eventually, she forces herself up, picks up the spilled pills, and takes one with water, swallowing hard against the lump in her throat. The taste is bitter, just like everything else tonight.
She has a Pack History test she can’t miss in school tomorrow. And somehow, she’s going to have to face the entire school.
