BETHANY’S POV

When the BMW car stopped beside me, I thought that it was the car of one of my Aunty’s bar clients trying to woo me again. When the window rolled downward, I wished that it was truly one of the old raggedy men trying to sleep with me. And I wished that I had inhaled the smell of beer mixed with old sweat coming from those fat men.
Instead, I inhaled rose fragrance mashed with coconut oil, one of the most beautiful smells in the world. Rather than these beautiful smiles in front of me, I’d prefer a glare that the old men gave to me because I refused to be one of their sugar babies.
“Bethany, it’s really you. When Jason said it was you, I insisted that you wouldn’t wear second–hand dresses but here you are making the dress look… Manageable,” she said, sizing me up with disgust.
Camila was my cousin, I hadn’t seen her in six years, after high school. She left for medical school with Jason, my ex–boyfriend – high school boyfriend. The only boyfriend I had ever had, was right beside her, staring down at me, probably thinking that he made the right decision leaving me for my cousin.
“Hi… Camila.” My voice was a little shaken but I smiled, returning my gaze to her. She looked beautiful. Her skin was glowing.
“You barely changed Bethany, you look the same, like a maid. I hope you are not wearing this to the reunion?” She asked, moving her eyes up and down with disgust. Jason wrapped his hand around her waist, pulling her closer.
At the same time, I noticed the dazzling Swarovski ring on her middle finger, my mouth opened, but I was unable to say a word.
“Oh, this?” She raised her well–manicured hands, showing off how good they looked, unlike my chipped ones.
“Jason proposed to me at our graduation. He wants to marry me.” She smiled gleefully. I felt my heart constrict.
“Come in, let’s get to the reunion together.”
“Oh no, I have to be at a friend’s place.” I lied, my voice low and soft. I didn’t want them to know I was shaken by what she said.
“Sister, come in. Let’s go together.”
I was going to walk to the reunion because I used all of my money to get this dress. The woman had told me it was the new fashion and all my friends would be jealous of me.
“Bethany, you haven’t seen me in six years, you are not going to honor my request?” She asked with a pout.
Jason said nothing. He didn’t even pay me attention, he held her hand and busied himself with his phone.
“Oh, are you still angry with Jason and me? It has been six years already, don’t tell me you have kept that anger in your heart for that long?”
“Fine.” I breathed out. I got into the front seat. The air in the car became stuffy but I was going to manage it. I told myself it was just for a short period.
We got to the venue for the reunion and I saw our old schoolmates sitting in the chair. They all dressed in fancy wear, better than what I wore. I wished to turn back because they all had car keys in front of them on the table. I didn’t have any.
“Bethany, you should sit beside us.” Camila held my hand and pushed me forward.
Bethany? I heard someone call in the midst of my schoolmate. Then they turned to me, all of their eyes on me.
“Wait, what is Bethany wearing?”
“Isn’t that the dress Camila wore at our prom in high school six years ago?” Cherry blurted. The school gossip, of course, would know everything.
Wait, was this the dress? I didn’t know.

he this it, the picture of Camila wearing the same dress at our prom last year. She won prom queen, how could anyone forget?” Cherry popped out.
Etaped ronted to the floor, unable to move.
I had worn the same dress that my cousin had worn at our high school prom. I held the hem of the dress, my fingers digging into it.
“Weah, are you this poot, Bethany? We thought you would have improved but look at you. You are worthless. You don’t even have a wolf and mate yet. You are truly cursed.” Cherry spat.
The rest shook their heads, murmuring to one another.
“Look at Camila, she and Jason will be part of the pack doctors. They are also about to get married. They now have a house and cars, but you have nothing. Camila, don’t touch her to avoid getting infected by her bad luck.”
Her words became two–edged, cutting through my skin which led to intense pain in my heart. I fought my tears from sliding through my eyes but it did. It dropped to the floor and they saw it.
“Bethany, I used to think that they were unfair to you calling you cursed in school but now I see it. You are truly cursed. You caused the death of your parents. You had no friends in high school and now you are wearing Camila’s prom dress six years back. You are cursed!” Manila spat. She used to be silent back in school. Not now.
“Guys, stop insulting my cousin. Just leave her alone. It is not her fault. I didn’t even know she wore my high school dress.” Camila left me and moved to Jason who rolled his eyes at me with disgust.
I couldn’t face them anymore. I couldn’t raise my head to them. I turned around and ran out of the scene. I ran until my legs couldn’t carry me anymore.
When I saw a path that led to my parent’s graveyard, I took it and ran until I got to them. I knelt in front of the grave, bawling my eyes out.
“It hurts. I hate it so much, Mom. It hurt. I feel like a failure. They all bad cars, big cars. They all looked good and wore fancy dresses. Why is mine different, Mom? Why? Am I truly cursed?” I slammed my hand on the tiled grave and a broken part of it cut me. Blood splashed out, staining the grass and some parts of the tiles.
Surprisingly, it didn’t hurt as much as the pain I felt in my heart. It didn’t hurt at all.
“You must hate me too. I caused your death. I caused it by trying to cook that day. Only if I hadn’t watched that stupid cooking video. Only if I had just kept it to myself but I just had to cook and blow up the house while you and Dad were asleep.”
After that day, I was called cursed.
Everyone hated me. They called me names since I killed their beloved Beta and wife. Their heroes. But nobody thought about me. About the little girl who lost her parents. Nobody cared about me and the guilt I felt after that day.
Now a part of me was starting to believe that it was true. I was truly cursed. I tore a part of the dress and used it to tie my bleeding thumb. I wouldn’t heal as fast as others anyway because i was nothing but a wolfless wolf.
Getting back to the house I noticed the front door was opened, and I wondered who had done so. When I stepped in, I noticed that there was a heavy presence. And the next second, I started to hear voices.
“I hope you didn’t make a mistake this time, they won’t forgive you again.” The rough voice sounded so I paused wondering who it was.
“My second daughter is on her way here and she is still a virgin, you can take her as compensation, my lord.”
