Chapter 1: Got Rejected right before the Marriage Night

FL: Areana

“Yes, you heard it right, I am calling off the marriage,” how can he do that? 

The guy whom I was dating for the past five years has called off the marriage in a wink, Am I day dreaming?

“Hey, did you hear what I just said?” He clicked his fingers right in front of me. It felt as if they were piercing my heart.

“B...bu…but! Why?” He rolled his eyes as if I was the one who annoyed him.

“You are asking me, why? Seriously?” He seemed quite frustrated.

“Yes, don’t you think at least I deserve to know this much?” I said it in a loud voice.

“Alright, fine.” He grabbed me from behind and made me stand right in front of the mirror.

“Why don’t you look at it yourself?” I looked in the mirror.

A night was left before I married my chosen mate. Here I was standing wearing a sexy night maxi dress with plunge cross dress in gold which gave the perfect look to my figure which everyone calls it perfect, one of the best formal dresses I ever had which I had prepared with love and care for tonight. 

I wondered why Eric was asking me to look in the mirror? So I had a glance over at him. Tonight he was wearing a sexy skin fitted tuxedo in black giving an appealing look to his athletic physique. 

Yet, I was puzzled what exactly he was asking me to look at? So I asked with innocence, “What exactly are you asking me to do?”

Seems I made him more angry as he dropped his hands from shoulders angrily and sat on the bed with a hopeless face. I knew something big was coming but I couldn’t sense it at all. I lost all the energy and hopes for us by now.

I didn’t know what else to do so I sat besides him, “I think you need to be clear with me. Just tell me directly what it is, Eri.” That's what I call him out of love.

He looked at me with pity, which I hate the most, “Areana.” He called me by my full name, I am sure, this is it. This is our end for sure or else he would never call me with my complete name. 

The moment I looked at him with puppy eyes he stood up and started walking out of the room made me feel more like crap. He opened the door and before leaving said, “You never let me touch you, even tonight you don’t let me touch you, this is frustrating, I can’t do this any longer.”

And there he left me right before our marriage night. I stood hopelessly in front of the mirror, “He waited for five years, he couldn’t wait for a night more?”

I went to the rehearsal area where both Red moon pack and Blue moon pack were present. The moment they saw me in the evening gown all of them started cheering and called out, “The bride is finally here, cheers to her.”

A few moments later, they started searching for Eric but couldn't find him.

Eric's father looked at him, “Darling Ari, where is Eric?”

I didn’t know how to face him, out of embarrassment I lowered my eyes, “He called off the wedding. I am so sorry about it.”

Everyone was quite shocked, Eric’s mother came and hugged me, “OH honey! I am so sorry, please forgive us.”

Our families have been friends for centuries, more than guilty I was devastated from inside so I wanted to run away from everything. Eric's family apologised sincerely to my family, but I wasn’t gutsy enough to reveal why exactly he called off the wedding, I just couldn’t tell them.

I just wanted to run off and kill myself. I just simply closed my eyes and two years have passed already. After Eric ditched me I went to California and started living there without making any single friend. People there called me a ghost because I didn’t even smile once in two years.

I had only one friend named Ash, her real name is Ashley though. I wonder how she became my friend when I never responded to her. I think she is more bizarre than me. Out of the blue she knocked the door heavily, “Hey, come out.”

I wondered why she was wearing the attire. Before I could say anything to her she gave me the attire for me to change it. 

With no time left we reached some mansion. It was quite a big mansion, “Hey, I thought Eliza will marry in some church. What's all this then?”

“Yeah yeah, I thought the same but Elizabeth, what can I say about her? She said her mate wants her to marry him in his own mansion which he bought especially for her. So today they were having their engagement ceremony.”

Well, it sounded like a dream to me, usually girls get envious when they hear such things but it was different for me, I was more sad, suddenly I remembered my marriage day and I started feeling anxiety all over again. I thought I got over it in those two years but I guess it was hitting me back.

I started feeling low and my confidence went back to zero. An outgoing and extrovert wolf like me became anxious and introverted ever since Eric called off the wedding. Till now I realized that I would never find a mate in this life so I started living like a lone wolf. 

Many times I had to lie to my family about me dating some wolf. Thanks to Ash, for becoming my fake boyfriend. I think I am indulging too much with myself. I better get back to my senses.

Just look at Elizabeth, she looks exquisitely beautiful. I am pretty sure, her fiance is the lucky one tonight. Of Course she is lucky too, I mean just look at this grand mansion.  Oh there comes her  fiance.

Wait, this can’t be happening now, is it E…?
