Chapter 3

I wake up with a splitting headache. What the heck happened?

"Oh Crystalise,I am so glad you awake. You gave us a scare"mom says rushing to my side.

She places a cup of water down and sat beside my bed.

"What happened?"I ask groggily.

"I don't know,Alpha Zander brought you in unconscious. He said he found you in the bush unresponsive. The doctor said it might be a rogue attack. I am just glad you are okay"she hugs me.

Attacked?

My bedroom door opens again, my eyes met hers and that is when everything started coming back.

Crystal and Alpha Zander.

They were kissing.

Him chosing her over me.

The rejection.

Averia's pain.

'Ria' I call out to her.

'yeah' her weak voice responded.

'what is wrong?Are you okay?' I asked worriedly

'I am trying to be strong for us. I am dying by any minute. I need mate'she whimpers weakly.

'he rejected us Ria' I almost yell at her. She whimpers in pain and retrieves to the back of my head.

"Oh Crystalise,I am so glad you are okay"Crystal says and rushes to climb my bed.

She was takes my hands into her and I immediately pulled away as if she burned me.

She did burn me.

In worst way possible.

"Don't touch me"I glare at her.

"Crystalise! Don't be rude to your sister. You don't know how much she has cried for you"mom scolds and walks into my bathroom.

"Did you tell them the truth?"she asks worriedly.

"How can I do that if 8 just woke up. You are already mom is going to know her daughter is two face whore and mate stealer"I tell her.

"Don't call me that! I loved Zander way before he even became the Alpha. Don't pretend I didn't notice how you looked at him,I knew you also liked him but I in too deep to let him go. I am sorry this happened this but nothing can be done about it"she says.

"Alot of things can be done about it. You can find your own mate and leave mine alone"I tell her.

"I can't"she whispers

"Why can't you?"I asked

"Because he rejected me! When we were 16,we met at the highschool dance but he was from a different pack. I rejected me on the spot and that is when Alpha Zander found me in bush,weak and unmoving"she says and my face softens a little.

"Why didn't you tell us? Why did you keep everything to yourself"I asked.

"Because rejection brings shame to the family. That is why I don't you tell anyone about this. Zander has perfect plan for you,he is ready to fly to New York for your schooling, just like you dream of"she says

"Shut up Crystal,me feeling sorry for you doesn't mean I forgive you. You hurt me,so much. I hate that. You two are so horrible,you plan on sending me away!"I yell at her.

"Keep it down Crystalise,mom will hear you. I am sorry that has to happen but nothing could be done about it."she keeps on saying that.

"Why do you keep saying that!"I shout in anger.

"Because Alpha and dad spoke this morning.Our wedding date has been set. We have already announced our engagement"she says and I fell like the walls are closing in on me.

My mom walks out of the bathroom with my dirty laundry.

"What..mom is it true. Is crystal getting married"I ask tears well up in my eyes

"Oh yes,I forgot to tell you that. Alpha Zander is her mate after all and we have already given them our blessings. The wedding will be on the next full moon"mom says and walks out with the laundry.

"I am sorry Crystalise. You need to accept his rejection. I love him"my sister and stands up leaving me a sobbing messy.

I can feel Ria wallowing in pain.

"I am sorry sorry I disappointed you Ria"I whisper and she responded with a whimper.

Later in the afternoon,the pack doctor came to check on me and said I was fine but will heal with time.

Something tells me he knows what is going on but has been made to keep quiet.

I didn't leave the room until 6 pm when my brother came to call me downstairs for dinner.

I stopped in my tracks when I spot four foreigners in the room.

Alpha Zander,Beta Darius, Alpha Eli and Luna Nara.

"Crystalise,my oh my,I am sorry for happened. I hope those rogues are caught and dealt with"Luna Nara says and give me a hug.

"Luna. Alpha Eli"I bow to them.

"Alpha and Luna are here to help us with the wedding preparation. We are going to be a family after all"dad says and they chuckle.

At that moment I wish I didn't raise my head.

Alpha Zander has his hands wrapped around my sister's waist and she is hugging his side with her head on his torso.

"That is wonderful. I think I am going to go for a walk. The doctor said I need it"I tell them.

"Nonsense,you can go for a walk tomorrow"mom says.

"Yes sis,I need you here since you are going to my maid of honor"my sister with a sweet smile.

"Sure why not "I went back to my seat and the dinner begun.

.

The following weeks were torture,I wish as my sister and Zander parade around the village as if nothing happen.

I always try to keep Ria under control everytime we are around him. He practically ignores our presence.

I sometimes wonder how he keeps his wolf under control,or he too is in love with Sansa,my sister's wolf.

But today seals my faith. The night of the full moon is tonight,that means my sister's wedding is today.

The house has been the entire but I stayed in my room. It is bed enough to watch your mate with another woman but also stand their side as they make a complete fool out of you.

That night I watch them get married, perform the rituals.

That night felt him mark her,I nearly died.

Apart of me was lost.
