Elena's POV.
"From this moment henceforth, you mean nothing to me," he spat, his eyes bloodshot as he stared deep into my eyes.His voice came out cold, jolting through my spine.My stomach churned in despair as I feared hearing his next words, which were pretty obvious now"I, Killian Dimitri, Alpha of Crescent Star pack, hereby reject you, Elena Salvador as my mate and future Luna," he finally let the dreadful words out, sending stabs of pain through my already torn heart, slicing it into a million tiny pieces.Instantly, I felt a sharp pain shot through me, starting from the nape of my neck where he has marked me as his, nibbling down to my skin.I tried so desperately to bottle the pain inside me but hearing my wolf let out a loud yelp of agony, I shamefully surrendered to the pain, the mate bond slowly and painfully snapped into two.I couldn't believe my mate bond was over before I got any chance to fully explore it.I felt tears well up in my eyes as I stared pitifully at his huge figure standing over me, the fury in his eyes boring holes in my skin, his palms hurled up in a tight fist indicating that he was most definitely feeling the pain from our mate bond breaking too.If only he'd look into my eyes for longer than ten seconds, he'll see the sincerity and truth in them, I'm innocent of the accusations but no one seems to believe that except me."Alpha Killian, I..." He quickly cut me off before I went any further with a wave of his hand in the air. It was the end for me, the sad realization suddenly hit me as my gaze brushed against his, the once dazzling eyes were now filled with disgust and terror."For your crime, you are hereby banished from the Blue Moon pack from this moment, and that means you can never show your face anywhere around here anymore," he affirmed with a tone of finality.He stood tall over me with no sympathy, at this point, there was no trace of the man who cared so much about me and was willing to stand with me against all odds, now all I could see was a heartless man glaring down at me with so much hatred and disgust.My ears were filled with distinct voices of the pack members cursing at me and rejoicing at my cruel verdict.I tried so hard to shut the traumatizing voices of mockery out of my head but the more I tried, the more pronounced it became, my hands flew desperately to my head clutching tightly as the pain of his rejection coupled with the mocking voices in my head coursed through me.My legs couldn't carry me anymore as my knees became weary, I felt the whole place spinning in different directions, leaving me as miserable as never before. I gave in to the misery and crumpled to the floor pathetically. The pain that shot through me as my knees crashed hard against the floor was nothing compared to the pain digging a deep hole in my chest.I felt my breath slowly leaving my body, the pain was unbearable, I've totally lost all will to live.Except for the tiny little life beating inside me pleading for a chance of survival through me, my hands unconsciously fell to my stomach because unknown to Alpha Killian, I was carrying his child. Why am I suffering for a crime I never committed? A number of wolves from the pack had gone hunting the previous night and never returned, somehow I found myself standing over their lifeless bodies covered in their pools of blood with a sharp dagger in my hands.Someone had committed the crime and framed me for it, but then no one would believe an insignificant maid like me.How could a weak omega like me murder a number of well bodied wolves? No one really thought about that. Mainly because no one wanted to believe my innocence.I am insignificant to the pack, a weak omega that everyone despised, I was considered an abomination among my own people. How could I have thought that they would believe me?****Few days ago*My eyes suddenly flew wide open as the sun rays penetrated into my room through the window, indicating that it is morning already. I snapped my head towards the tiny clock on the wall and a sharp gasp escaped my lips, it was few minutes past six. The house Mistress is definitely going to kill me.A brief introduction. My name is Elena Salvador, and I just turned eighteen a couple of days back, but yet to find out who my mate was. It was beginning to trouble me, I mean, it was the usual tradition to be able to feel your mate or have them attracted and drawn to you once you are eighteen right?I couldn't help but wonder why mine was different, could I be mateless? Or my mate already secretly found me but doesn't want to have anything to do with me? Could it be because I am a weak omega who could only bring nothing but shame? A million possible reasons ran through my head. I wasn't exactly looking forward to it since it won't change anything, I was only curious to find out who it could be.Nothing seemed to fall in place for me since the death of my parents, I was loathed by everyone and I had no friends, who would want to have anything to do with a weak omega?I had only one way of survival, and that was by working as a maid not only at the Palace but serving everyone at the pack too.I wasn't bothered since I could feed and also have access to medicines, shelter and other basic necessities."House mistress won't take this lightly," my wolf, Narla whispered to me.I quickly packed my head up to a messy bun and bolted off my tiny bed. On getting to the hallway, I met the house Mistress addressing the rest of the maids. I tried to sneak into the crowd without been noticed."Elena! Not even another step," her cold voice had me halt abruptly on my spot cursing under my breath. "I've warned you severally against your late arrivals," she snarled."I'm s..."She quickly cut me off with a wave of her hand in the air."For the next one week, you'll be in charge of cleaning Alpha Killian's room," her words rang in my head.Oh no!Elena's POV.My entire world seemed to be collapsing around me.How could I possibly clean Alpha Killian's room for a week consecutively without running into him?I've avoided him like plaque all my life, it has been rumored that he detests weak people, all he wanted was active subjects who would protect the pack even in his absence.While the policy was undoubtedly admirable, it did however not favour people like me who were born weak. In order to avoid further humiliation, I tried my possible best to stay off his path no matter what it takes. Whenever I get tasks to clean up his room, there was only one way out for me.Kaitlyn.I switch places with her whenever the mistress insists that I take charge of the Alpha's room.Whatever Joy she derives from cleaning Alpha Killian's room remains a mystery to me.With the exception of our occasional position swapping to appease one another, Kaitlyn and I are not really friends. She detested being seen in public with me.Immediately the hous
Elena's POV.In all my years of existence, never have I come across anything as savory as the very scent sliding into my nose right now. But it didn't last longer than few second as I suddenly heard someone calling out to him from behind.My ears suddenly caught the name being mentioned."Killian?" Gracious goodness!Alpha killian is my mate?Before I could contemplate any further, I felt the firm grip around me loosen and I came crashing towards the floor.The sting I felt as soon as I crashed on the floor was nothing compared to the turmoil going on in my head."I'll be back in a minute, be sure to be gone before then," his cold voice rang in my ears.Once he was out of sight, I quickly grabbed the trash can and ran off through the secret entrance. That was close.Kaitlyn had confirmed that he doesn't get back to the room until late in the day, why then is today different?I can't believe it's just the first day and this is already happening?"Killian is our mate!" Narla's voice s
Elena's POV.I walked home exhausted, after a full day of scrubbing and dusting at the Beta's chamber.Despite how tired I was, a small smile still managed to creep it's way to my face as his name rang in my head.Killian. It's been the only thing I could think of all day and ever since he claimed me as his.It has been the best days of my life, we spent every spare minute in each other's arms drowned in our soft kisses and the warmth feel of our bodies rubbing together as he softly grunted my name into my ears while thrusting into me with soft yet potent strokes, I couldn't count the number of times we made love.I was trying to savor the blissful moment while it last, because despite how real it seems, there was a constant voice in my head reminding me how soon it will all end. Despite marking me as his mate, I was still uncertain about my stand with him, is he willing to accept me as his future Luna irrespective of what people would say? How about his parents? Will he beat the odd
Elena's POVUsually, when I scrubbed the toilets or the floor, I always did it with a frown on my face.But today marked a difference, a huge smile was plastered all over my face as I scrubbed the floor of Beta Ezra's room, knowing for a fact that it was my last time scrubbing anyone's dirty floor.Things have gone so well over the past few days, more than I ever envisioned.The queen has grown a deep likeness for me and she was in support of the announcement to the rest of the community about our union.Today is the long-awaited day, our official mating ceremony and I couldn't be more happier, it marks the end of my misery and the beginning of a beautiful life with a man who cherishes even the strands of hair on my head. As I scrubbed the floor carefully, I felt an ill feeling suddenly wash over me, but then it vanished abruptly just as it came.I pushed the worried thought to the back of my head and continued scrubbing.After a short while, it came again, this time, more pronounced
Elena's POV. I flooded my knees to my chest, weary and tired as the cold floor of the cell blew at me.I shivered pathetically, my teeth gritted noisily against each other.For an intended future Luna, now ending up as a prisoner, my story is really pathetic.My once pretty gown was now soiled in dirt and blood from the incident, not that it mattered anymore to me, I was certain that the mating ceremony would no longer be happening, not after everything that happened last night.Right now, I was more concerned about Killian, what was his take on the situation? Does he believe that I was innocent? He has to believe me.But then every hope of that being possible was brutally shattered as I thought back to last night, he couldn't hold my gaze despite how loudly I repeatedly screamed his name, neither did he utter a single word while I was dragged away. He stood still, his palms hurled into a tight fist. I never slept a wink through the night, I stayed up hoping that he'd show up and
Elena's POV.Few hours later, the door was pulled open again, this time, it wasn't Killian but the guards. They took turns casting me disgusting looks as they walked into the cell."Get up, it's time to face the council," one of them spoke up, his voice laced with so much hatred.I nodded weakly, having no strength left in me for further reaction.Biting down on my lower lip to pass on strength, I pushed myself to my feet and followed them out.My heart thumped alarmingly fast as each step brought us closer to the council hall. But then I was beginning to accept my faith, whatever the council rules off to be my verdict, I shall accept without further debate, but one thing I would never do is agree to a crime I never committed all because of lesser punishment. Arriving at the judgment hall, my eyes flew wide open in shock, surprised to behold how filled up it was, closely half the entire pack was present; how eager they were to witness my cruel verdict. Their murmurs flooded my ear
Elena's POV.I have never felt this way before. The sharp shred of loneliness and deep pain.I walked through the shadows of darkness on the wet grasses, heading to nowhere because my mind was blank.It was already late, aside from the pack members, I knew nobody and had no external relationship.I clenched my hands on my arms, pressing the cloak on my body as the cold was unbearable."Where are we going to?" Narla's voice came up and I cleared my throat, closing my eyes briefly. What does she expect from me? I was as confused as she is."I don't know," I mumbled.Everything happened within the blink of an eye. As much as it was unbelievable and hurting, I just had to accept the bitter truth and my ill fate."Who's there!" Suddenly, a hoarse frightening voice startled me and I stopped walking, turning back immediately."Is someone there?" I managed to mutter. "I should be asking you lovely bitch what you are doing all by yourself in this forest." The fat disgusting-looking man groane
Elena's POV.Standing tall over me, was a strikingly handsome man, well bodied and heavily hung; though Killian remained with the crown.Why am I even comparing them? And in this situation? There was yet another young man standing by the doorside, he was a delight too. "Who are you?" I swallowed hard trying not to sound as scared as I truly am. He took a step closer towards the bed and I recoiled back in fright."Don't come any closer!" I flared up."Relax, you are out of danger," he spoke really gently, a soft chuckle leaving his mouth.As much as he appeared harmless, I was in a strange place without any slightest clue how to make it out, falling for his mere appearance was a big risk. "That doesn't answer any question, who are you? And what is this place? What am I doing here?" I was beginning to get a bit louder now, my gaze darting fiercely from each of them to the other. Of course, the ugly experience with my ex pack has thought me a bitter lesson never to let anyone take
