Today my so-called pack unintentionally sent me to my grave.
I know Josh sent me to a meeting without predicting the consequences but it feels like I am thrown into hell instead of living a dream. This is beyond my nightmare.
Coming out of my thoughts I stood there like an idiot, watching mate smile at his chosen mate. He kisses her on the cheek and then moves his down to touch her stomach.
Why does it feel too painful to watch their loving moments?
Looking up at the sky, I could see darkness with no rays of sunshine and rainbows.
'Oh, how wonderful life is!'
Eric doesn't know that I was waiting for him and that I long for him to come into my life. I have fallen asleep every night with thoughts of him in my head. How life will turn out if he were there with me.
When I felt the pain years ago which almost cost my life I thought he died. I was so hurt and devastated by losing him. However, here he is. Right in front of me with his chosen mate.
"Hello, I'm Claire Montez-Gibson. Eric's mate," she happily introduces herself.
'I didn't know the thing can talk.' I try to control myself and I wanted to laugh.
I am laughing even though it's rude to do that in front of a Luna and Alpha but what can I do.
"Oh, God!" I exclaimed, wiping away my tears. After calming myself down I say, "sorry it's just that you look adorable together."
That was a lie.
'Adorable my ass' I thought to myself.
Aberdeen and the others smile at my comment, not knowing that I am dying inside.
"Shall we go in and start our meeting?" Alpha Eric says giving us a warm smile.
There is no way I am going to call him Eric again. After all, I don't have a Mate anymore.
'He's not rejecting us,' Eliz groaned in my head.
I wanted to retort back at her but now is not the right time as the idea of my mate mating someone else is still shocking to me.
~~~
They discussed our pack's treaty while I just sit there with my mind somewhere far away and my fingers fiddling on my lap. I was not focusing on the meeting's agenda or any matter they are discussing.
'This can't be real Eliz,' I said to my wolf but she remain silent.
"Is there something you want to say, Elle?"
A voice snaps me back to the meeting. I turn to see all eyes on me. I have forgotten that they could feel my anxiety as our mind links are open to others.
However, it doesn't mean that they can hear my inner turmoil, thoughts, and words I am exchanging with Eliz.
The practice is for meetings only. Unless you mated to your mate, the links will then be open with nothing to hide from one another.
"Well?" Alpha fakes a smile as he asks me.
An idea pops into my head and without a filter, I blurted, "I think I need to go to the restroom."
It is embarrassing to sound like a kid who needs permission to go to the bathroom but I just need to be out of there for a while.
Standing up I excuse myself and went out of the door. I walk through the hallway, and the place was big.
My eyes searched for someone to point me in the bathroom's direction. However, there wasn't any living soul roaming around the house.
I hear a door shut and my nostrils took in the scent of my mate. His tall figure came into view. I could see his eyes turning from dark brown to golden.
'Zhipa, his wolf is trying to take control,' chanted Eliz as she howls with joy wanting to take control but I tried to hold her back.
After struggling for control in seconds, our human sides won over our wolves, giving us full control. His expression is hard as he continues to walk. He grabs my arm before he drags me to an empty room.
"We can't be together." It's the first thing he said when he pushes me on the couch without care. I almost twisted my wrist.
Perfect. No sorry at all. What an ass!
"You and I can never happen," he said while pointing his fingers between the two of us.
"I love Claire," he confesses. "Therefore, I Eric Gibson reject you Elle" he looks at me dumbfounded
"Last name?" he demands.
I felt a pang in my heart while Eliz howled in pain. This is what I was most afraid of "rejection." Eliz would never walk past it.
I can manage this blow. After all, I've been through much more hell than this. So, I did what I thought was right for both of us.
"Langford," I sadly told him.
He looks at me without envy or sympathy before he continues with his rejection.
"Langford as my mate," he finishes.
There was no pain unless I reject him back. I stood up from the couch and face him with a brave smile.
"Good," I said before walking out of there like I didn't care. Even though my shoulders feel heavy but I held my head high.
Once I reached outside of the house I run into the woods with tears falling from my eyes.
It hurts to be unwanted and to be unloved by your chosen one.
Tears flow from my eyes like heavy rain as I settle on a huge rock. I thought back to the years of pain when things went downhill for me.I don't know why I have such a bad fate and I wonder if I ever did something wrong to anger the moon goddess.It is heart-wrenching. My mate had made his decision. Thinking he has a tiny bit of heart for me. How wrong is that? He rejected me without giving me a chance to breathe or even to take my time. Officially, I don't have that someone since he chose for the both of us before I even come into his life.I was crying when I hear something snaps. I look around me and see a big black wolf eyeing me skeptically. His eyes scream danger and I could feel his strong aura. It's like a force ordering me to submit.Anyone should be highly alert right now and start to run away for their life. However, in my situation, I couldn't do anything at all. I could tell that he was an Alpha but that didn't bother me at all as I was too busy crying to even bother.
"Please, Elle get the hell out of the car now!" Leto says with frustrationWe've been doing this for almost an hour and Leto has reached his limit of patience. Yeah, I don't make it easy for anyone especially when I am forced to do something I don't like.When Aberdeen told me that Josh had agreed to leave me for training techniques I didn't take it well. They may not know Eric is my mate but it's still hell no for me. I am not going to stay here with him and his so-called chosen mate Claire."Look I'm sorry if you don't want to but it was Alpha Josh's order, not mine," Leto explains again.Stubbornly I sat in the car with my arms crossing on my chest. Eliz is a heart-warming wolf but not me, the human. Nah ah."Elle we're not leaving you here for good, Josh wants you to learn their technique...simple as that and it's part of the deal," Aberdeen says in a pleading voice as Leto raises his hands in surrender. My best friend and her mate don't deserve my attitude. Gosh! I seriously des
'Grandma,' I muttered as I inspected the dress the two face bitch gave me. I officially despise her. I sigh looking at the dress with no hope.This is the 21st century and yet the witch gave me a dress that someone wore in the 18th century for bedtime reading. I curse that woman. How dare she give me this? Claire knows how to pay back gratitude.I shook my head in disappointment and threw the dress back on the bed. I open the door to my assigned room and peek outside to see if anyone in this pack passes by. Unfortunately, there is no one. I let out another sigh and slam the door. I walk back to the bed and lay down on it, watching the white-grey color ceiling. Someone knocks on my door, ignoring it I turn to the other side of the bed and wish for whoever is outside to get lost. I heard the door creak open and then a footstep. Oh my, can't he/she see that I am not in the mood. "I want scissors" I demanded to whoever is in the room and turn on my back, facing the ceiling again."For?"
"I can't believe you sent a perv to bring me my bags" I complain to Aberdeen on the phone and she laughs at my dismay."No, he's not. Angus is a good kid, and he just had a crush on you," she replied and I could hear her trying to hold in her laughter. Angus was one of the guys in the pack who was already mated but still tries to have his way with me. He told Aber and Josh that it was just a crush but he still try to flirt with me. Therefore, finding him at the pack's door early in the morning, with my luggage, made me want to scream 'bloody murder.' If only Alpha Josh was nearby and we could teleport easily. I would do it and give him a piece of my mind on the douche bag, he sends over with my luggage. Letting out a heavy sigh I check the time and see that it's 7 am. I bid Aber goodbye on the phone. I threw the phone on my bed and went in the shower to get ready. Angus wasn't my only problem this morning. The Alpha was a douche too. He sent one of his warriors earlier to give me a
Three weeks laterThe training was hard and Daluna's techniques are hard to cope with. Trying to master it within a month is not a good thing. It was weeks of struggle and stress.After our last training, Jenna a girl I befriended two weeks ago walks beside me back to the packhouse. The incident on my first dinner here made everyone cast me out and I didn't know they held grudges for so long.However, tonight will be my last dinner in Daluna's Pack and they still didn't forgive me and it doesn't mean I didn't try. Believe it! I did but they wouldn't bother. Claire was being a total bitch to me throughout this one month. Indeed, who cares as if my mate would care. I'm going back today and I would never come back here again since I'm unwanted here."I can tell you can't wait to go home," whisper Jenna and I nod my head. "Yep, I cannot wait to be out of this awful pack," I said in a teasing tone. She pushes me forward playfully and I retaliate by pushing her back."What can't beat me," I
I woke up and found myself still lying in front of the bedroom door. I couldn't believe I cried myself to sleep over nothing. Right! If only it was nothing but no it wasn't, as everything is not okay right now.I get up from the floor and walk towards the window. I open the curtain and look out to see that it is dark outside. Turning around I walk back to find the switch for the lights. When I found it I switch it on, filling the entire room with lights. I pull off my clothes before going to the shower. I spent another hour there. Most of the time I zone out while taking a shower.My thoughts were back to Jenna's words earlier. I can't believe the way fate plays out for me. After my shower, I dry my body with my towel and put on black sweatpants and then a rainbow sweater. I wanted to sleep but my stomach betrays me when it growls with hunger. So, I make my way to the kitchen, hoping everyone is asleep by now. Stumbling my way inside the kitchen I look everywhere for food and only fin
All I could see is darkness. There is no source of light.I cried out for help hours ago but nobody was there to help us or rather for me alone. Claire was nowhere in sight. I don't know where they have taken her. I hear footsteps coming then the door opens widely. Finally, I am now seeing a light. Two hunters came in and dragged me by my hair without saying anything. Their hold on my hair hurts even though I'm a werewolf, it still hurts. I don't even know where they were taking me again. They drag me out of the house then into an SUV van, then blindfold me.The car stopped and I felt hands on my arms. When they took off the blindfold I look around and saw that we were now in a clearing. We were in the woods in the middle of nowhere and I am not familiar with the surroundings.Then all of a sudden figures came out of the trees. I first saw Eric coming out from behind a tree, then following Lucian.My wolf Eliz howls with excitement that our mate is here. Then we saw the alpha of the M
I couldn't stop my silent tears from falling on our way back to the hunters' place. When we arrived at their hideout they lock me in one of the rooms in the house. I sat down on a chair reminiscing on today's event. Ten minutes later the door opens up again and in walks a huge guy, not like hulk. He put clothes on the bed, giving me a smirk before licking his lips. It wasn't even sexy or hot but rather a gross one. 'Oh gosh, I can't believe he's so disgusting.' "Get changed and make sure to look your best bitch. Each one of us will have a go with you. I'll make sure to be first in class," he said and winks in my direction. I pretend to look away and act like I didn't hear it. However, I can feel fear creeping into my veins. He went out and I walked up to the bed. I take a look at the dress he put on the bed. The dress was more like lingerie. The only thing this could cover is my ass and boobs and the rest is for show. I put it back on the bed and sat down thinking of possible ways
