Phoenix Maplewood The Hazards of Love [M]

One-post cameo w/ permission >:)

It was with a tiny bit of excitement, and a tiny bit of dread, that Saena sped through the maple wood in search of her mate. The conflicting emotions pummeling her from all sides were momentarily put aside because, for once, she had some news for him that wasn't bad news. It wasn't particularly thrilling news, either, but it was something she wanted to share with the man she was considering leaving and also considering staying with because that was just what Saena did. She also wanted to talk about the scent of a wolf in heat and how they would deal with that, but that was not on her mind presently.

She wound through the trees, tracking his scent, until she spotted him romping with Tavi between a pair of maples. Slinking toward them, cut off from sight momentarily by the thickness of the wood, Saena opened her mouth as if to speak but clapped it shut again when next she caught sight of them. Reek was no longer romping with the beta. He was on her, rocking his hips against her, within her.

Though she had not been faithful to him, and had been entertaining the notion of leaving with Luke, Saena was nothing if not a hypocrite. She sank back into the trees, out of sight, with the feeling of ice settling in her stomach. She could hear them still, the sounds of Reek fucking someone else, but tried to drown it out the way that anger and hurt drowned her vision out. It was easy to forget that she was as guilty as him and for the moment she didn't even remember her affair with Luke. All she could think about was her mate, the father of her children, with his dick in someone else, someone Saena had considered a friend.

With angry tears pricking inexplicably at her eyes and her emotions churning again, the alpha female turned and tore off into the maple wood with clenched jaws, no longer even remotely excited to tell Reek that their children—the children of a cheating bastard (and his cheating wife but who was paying attention to that anymore)—had kicked her this morning.
