Chapter 3
I stayed there for a long time, sobbing and telling her everything that was happening, hopping she was listening and would somehow help me.
My mother had always been the key to all my problems. Anytime I had any trouble or whatever, I just needed to tell her and she would definitely find a way out.
She gives everything for my happiness, always having my time amidst get tight schedules. I needed her most now. She was the only one that could console me and tell me what to do.
My life was growing darker and there doesn’t seemed to be a way out. After today, that wicked woman won’t only be living with me here, but would also have the crown of my mother on her head as the Luna with all the guards and members of the pack under her authority.
How would I cope when she hated me this much that my sadness was her priority. My mate was the only last option to save me. As the daughter of an Alpha, I was going to have either an Alpha or Beta as a mate and that means I would be leaving this pack to be with him as his Luna.
This was my only source of solace and soothe, the only thought that gave me hope.
I didn’t know when I dozed off, sitting and leaning on my mother’s grave. It was late in the afternoon and I was sure the major events of the wedding was over if not the entire wedding ceremony.
Slowly, I stood, wiping the streak of dried tears on my ch*eks as I walked back into the castle. Just as I entered, the feelings that my mate was nearby peaked and I began to hear the racing of my heart. Excitement bubbled in me as I quickened my pack in anticipation.
My instincts was leading me right to where he was and it was straight at the wedding hall. Smiles appeared on my face because it just occurred to me that the moon goddess actually cares. Finding my mate now would be my escape from Diana without having to face the torture of staying with her in this castle with my father who doesn’t care of about his late mate and 1.
Just as I got to the hallway leading to the hall, the scent drifted in like a breath of fresh air-my mate scent, seductive and overwhelming. It was as if I became numb of any pain I was feeling earlier as the soothing scent filled my nostrils.
I couldn’t just wait to meet him, the love of my life, the one man that would cherish and treat me like a rare g know when I began to run and immediately barged into the hall
gem. I didn’t
My eyes traced him and I could see him hugging Diana as he presented his gift. They both had huge smiles, and the way he looked at her was more than normal. There was that deep passion and desire, and it was as if he badly wants more from her. She was also giving him that sweet gaze.
It was as if they had known each other for long-
My eyes were locked on my mate, waiting for him to clearly smell scent and look out for me quickly just as I did. Just as expected, he had the royal scent of an Alpha and had that bad boy enticing appearance that most ladies would love. He stood tall with his muscles ripped and strong, tattooes running through his neck and arms.
But why isn’t he acting like I was here already? Why is he still focused on Diana pleasantries?
Dad was the first to see me, he looked surprised instead of happy. I was sure he wasn’t expecting me to show up after hitting me. His surprise look turned to curiosity when I took steps forward.
I was coming closer to know if it was distance that made my mate not to recognize me
Finally, he turned to me. My mate looked at me with those hazel eyes, and instead of seeing love, care and desire in them. I
was seeing hatred, disgust and annoyance. His face grimaced as his eyes scanned me from head to toe like I was a kind of dirty animal.
“Mate… He said that word like it taste so bitter. There was an uproar, people murmuring to themselves, surprised that I had
a mate.
Even my father couldn’t believe it.
Yes mate, i am your fated one.” A forced smile appeared on my face. He doesn’t look happy at all.
His eyes moved away from me to Diana and she shook her head a little, a sign of disapproval.
Wait. What does that mean?
He then turned back at me again with a mean face.
“I can’t accept such a mate!” His voice broke out through the hall, echoing in my head and striking deep into my soul.
“It will be a disgrace to my pack to have you as a mate and you should know that. Weak, wolfless and stupi d.” He paused and turned to my father.
“I’m sorry for using such words on your daughter, but with all I heard about her, I don’t think it’s actually an insult. An alpha daughter with no wolf untill now is ridiculous!” He spat, his words hurting me more.
“No need to apologize, I’m equally disappointed in her. I’m wondering how she turns out to be my daughter. It doesn’t look real. I can’t have a daughter like this!” My father seethed, shaking his head in irritation too as he squinted his eyes at me.
“Mate. I’ll still have my wolf, I’ll be strong. I will be a good mate and together we can…..
“Shut up!” He cut me off immediately. “Even your father utterly ashamed of you. You are way too useless that he had to get another mate to give him his rightful heir. How do you think I’ll bring you to my pack to bring shame to me? It must be a mistake for the moon goddess to give you to me!” He scoffed and there was an uproar of approval from the people in the
hall.
Everyone seemed to agree with him to reject me, including my pack members present
Tears filled my eyes, my m*uth snapped shut as I stared at him in disbelief.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
I couldn’t just believe my ears hearing all he was saying to me. He just called our bond a mistake.
I found it hard believing this was happening to me. My last hope was draining right in front of my eyes.
“Why can’t you just accept me? L… My voice hitched as I saw him brought out the silver knife.
He wasn’t only going to reject me, but also severe every tie that could linger and cause us to bond again in the future.
What kind of hatred was this? Using the silver knife to perform the ritual would make it hard for me to find another mate because my scent would be tainted. Every wolf who get attracted to me will notice instantly that I had been rejected by my
male.
“Do you have to use that?” You can reject me but why use the silver knife?” I asked, my voice cracking as I fought to urge to cry. Once again, he looked at Diana and the nodded to him like she was giving him approval.
“I can reject you whatever way I want!” He scoffed and my eyes moved to my father with the last glimmer of hope that he will order him not to dare do such. He had turned into a monster towards me, but there should be a little sympathy left. After all I was still his daughter regardless..
“Dad, will you allow him do this? He doesn’t have to taint my scent before rejecting me. I murmured, my breath shallow as I
wiped my tears hoping for this last empathy from him.
“He can do whatever he wants. My father shrugged, looking away from me..
1 broke down. My world crumbled.
This hurts so much, so unbearable that I felt like killing myself on the spot.
1. Torian, the Alpha of the Blue Moon pack reject you Selene as my mate and severe all bonds between me and you!” Hist voice rumbled like thunder, breaking through the core of my heart and spreading that kind of pain which leaves the body numb and the l*ps clamped.
Then he stretched out his hand and sliced his wrist open a bit, allowing his blood to drip down to the ground.
He really hated me deeply but why? We didn’t even know each other well yet. It was as if he was longing to reject me before meeting me and that constant glance to Diana for approval really says a
It dawned on me at that moment that It was over. My hope of my mate taking me away from this place to escape Diana maltreatment was over.
I looked up and saw the satisfaction smile on her face while my heart felt so heavy that breathing was tough. I could feel the bond detaching, his scent fading from my nostrils.
My legs were weak to carry me, every fibre of my being exhausted and aching like they were being bashed.
Just then, the pack messenger rushed in with a scroll in his hand. He went before my father and knelt, handing the letter to
him.
“From the pean king..” He muttered and silence hit the whole room, everyone’s eyes widened as they stared at the letter in
fear.
I was also scared. This was unusual. It was something to tremble about after we all knew how cruel the Lycan king was. What could be in the letter? It had never ended well for packs that received letter Is from him as it had only been because they failed one of his rules or had done something he ordered for no pack to do.
I could see the anxiety in my father’s face as he took it from the messenger.
Slowly, he opened it and read through, his eyebrows creasing as confusion etched his face as a dead silence fell on the hall.
“The Lycan king is visiting our pack tonight and ordered a curfew from 8pm.” He announced as he lifted his gaze off the
letter.
