Despite her expectations on his act, Tessa still felt a piercing pain in her heart. She knew he was not remorseful about cheating on her. Yet, she still felt a pang of pain upon hearing his words.
The feeling of getting stabbed in the back like that was not a good feeling. It felt extremely terrible.
She had expected his actions. But still, how could be not feel any ounce of connection or guilt for what he had done to her?‘’I don’t need you anymore.’’ Chris started as he stared intently into her hazel colored eye..Tessa did not want to look into his eyes, but she caught herself doing it. The eyes that once ran over her body and looked at her with love and care in them. Those same eyes that got her living the best life were now staring at her with utmost anger in them.She had never felt so betrayed in her life.
Deep down, Tessa felt the urge to reveal to Chris that she was pregnant with his child and end the whole drama. But she managed to restrain herself from doing so.As she stared at the man, she tried to form some comeback words. But, in the end, she gave up trying to say anything. She refused to utter any as she knew that she would only spout a stutter.She shut her eyes for a nanosecond and finally looked at Chris.
‘’Do whatever you want. I don’t give a damn.’’ Tessa growled and walked out of the dining section into the corridor that led to the front yard.Why was her heart beat racing?From a distance away from the dinning, she could still hear series of low, whispered discussions. Then, it was followed by the sudden loud laughter of Chris.
She could not take it anymore. She hurried out of the living room and rested her back against a wall while trying to control her fast racing heartbeat.
She was sure that no guard was around the environs. Thus, she buried her face in her palm, heaving lightly. She wanted to cry her heart out. But, she managed to restrain herself.‘I will not cry.’
‘He is the villain in my life.’
"He doesn’t deserve me," she whispered to her self, until she heard the sound of a car entering the compound.
As she looked up, she sighted some men at the far end of the garage, alighting from a car.Tessa's eyes squinted as she watched closely. As they approached, she felt her heart beat racing.
The golden robe worn by the 5 men, revealed their identity in a millisecond.
The elders had arrived.
Her marriage was truly about to end.
She hurried back into the pack house to look at herself in the mirror. As she stared at her reflection in the mirror, she could see that her face was tearstained and she looked forlorn. She picked a towel and wiped her face neatly before flashing a small smile.Although it was not the best she could offer on a usual meeting day, she still managed to put up the confident look on her face.
Tessa then headed towards the throne room.
She could hear Chris complaining to the elder as she walked into the hallway that led to the throne room. Tessa rolled her eyes in contempt.As she entered the room, she was shocked to see the elders already seated on the long table. The moment she appeared, their gazes were fixated on her.
She looked to the side of the room and saw Mona seated on the conference table with her legs crossed on her laps. Beside her was Chris. Normally, Tessa would be the only occupying that space beside her husband.But, it had only been a few minutes and she had lost the right to respect as a Luna. But, Tessa wasn't bothered about that.
She had made up her mind. Her child was her top most priority. She would give birth to the child safe and sound. And, she would be the only parent.
Tessa could read the smile on Chris's face and it had no sign of sadness or regret. Only complacency. She knew too well that he didn't love her. All he wanted was the benefits he could get from marrying her.
Tessa let out an inward sigh as she fully stepped into the hall.‘’Let the bond breaking ceremony begin.’’ One of the elders whose name seemed to be Garnold rose from his seat and announced.‘’Alpha Chris and Luna Tessa, please come forward.’’ The elder added.
Tessa took a deep breath as she took a few steps towards the long table where the elders where seated.As she threw a side glance towards where Chris was seated, she could see him whispering intimately into Mona's ears.Tessa pursed her lips grimly and turned her face away.
‘How could he not feel guilty?' She thought.
‘’Alpha Chris, do you want to end the mating bond which you share with your mate and Luna?’’ The elder asked with his gazed intently fixed on Chris.‘’Yes, I do.’’ Chris replied without even a flinch. There was no hesitation in his voice.There was an indifferent tone that lingered in his reply that got Tessa fuming with anger within her heart.
‘’Luna Tessa, do you want to end the mating bond, which you share with Alpha Chris?’’The elder shifted his gaze from Chris and stared at Tessa.
Tessa did not have much of a choice. Once the Alpha accepted the breaking of the mate bond, the Luna would have to accept it that way. She was equally mandated to accept.The moment had arrived. She was a strong lady.
‘’Yes, I do.’’‘’Yes, I do.’’ Tessa finally uttered with her eyes still fixed on the Elder who asked the question.The Elder turned to Chris and said to him, "You know what to do now Alpha."Chris nodded, showing his understanding. Then, he turned towards Tessa and announced, "I, Chris Donovan hereby reject you Tessa Williams as my mate and Luna from this moment onwards."Tessa stumbled back almost immediately. She felt a numbing pain assault her whole body. She screamed out from the pain and squatted in a corner.Everyone was watching her quietly. But, no one stepped out to console or ease her pain.Slowly, the assaulting pain began to lessen. Tessa heaved breathlessly feeling more lightweight. She felt as though something had been broken inside her.The elder officiating the ceremony walked toward her and stopped in front of her. He looked downwards at her and said, "It's your turn to reject the Alpha now."Tessa nodded, understanding his words. Then, she sat up and looked at Chris. Then, she mutt
Tessa had cuddled herself up on her bed. Her pillow and duvet was drenched with tears. Even though, she had not thrown a tantrum, she was unable to accept the situation yet. She was unable to process it that her husband was really cheating on her.And, that he was gone. He was gone from her side.Tessa did not realize that she had slept off with tears in her eyes. Until, she woke up to the slow moaning sounds coming from where seemed to be her marital bed room. Her bedroom was right beside the guestroom she was in so she could hear the sounds especially clear. Tessa felt another pain assault her. It was blinding and overwhelming. She was unable to breath for sometime and it felt as though something was being pulled out of her roughly.It was then she realized something. It seemed Chris and Mona had been having sex all these time that she occasionally felt pain from time to time. It seemed she was being fooled for a long time.She felt betrayed and used. Once again, the tears begun to
Luckily for Tessa, she found a taxi which was on a midnight journey to New York. She didn't have enough cash on her to take a plane.At first, she was full of vigor and had a plan to follow. But, she soon remembered that she had no one where she was going. She had no place to stay for the night.She contemplated for sometime and decided to stay in an hotel for the night. Then, she would think of what to do when morning came.By the time she arrived at New York, the time was already 6am. She breathed in the new tranquil scent as she stepped down from the cab and was welcomed by a ‘welcome to New York city’ sign board.Having no where to go, Tessa asked a random man at the reception of the bus top, on where she could go next.‘’Wow, we have a new arrival.’’ The old man who sat behind the desk smiled at her.Tessa smiled back at him. "Please I am new here, do you know where I can get an accommodation? Like an hotel or something? Tessa asked with a yawn, she was tired.The man smiled back
Despite the limited moonlight that penetrated through the branches Tessa let out an inward gasp at the size of the wolf.Chris was a huge-sized wolf, but he could not be compared to the wolf that stood before her.Tessa had the feeling, that any further movement of the wolf, could affect an earthquake.Its muscles protruded from his dark fur causing the moonlight to lay its spotlights on them.The eyes of the wolf.At first, she could tell that they were red, but as the wolf took a step toward her, an argument was formed in her mind.The color of those eyes is something she could never quite pinpoint.Calling it red would be a lie, as she spotted a gleam of gold by the side, and a silver color passing like a shadow through his eyeballs with the red color, built up like a burning furnace behind the magical combination.Trying to understand would only add to Tessa’s headache.Tessa took a step backward.She needed to obey her instincts at least once.Even while moving her legs, Tessa fe
Falling back to sleep could be the worse thing she could ever plan to do. Especially after getting a call from her sister.She pictured her sister dressed in a white fitted fishtail wedding gown, adorned with expensive white lace and silver pearls adorned by the hems. Just like the one she had always bragged about, standing beside her ex-husband.An imaginative picture of the smile on their faces before the elder who would officiate them could not devastate her more than the reality of seeing her only sister having sex with her once loving husband.She stared at the ceiling and then back at the floor. There was no drop of tears during her movements. She surely wasn’t going to cry. Not after crying for days after witnessing the betrayal.Tessa jumped off her bed, a glance at the forest outside her room spread a sense of peace down her spine. The one thing that seemed to keep her happy even after witnessing the annoying wolf that refused to end her pain.Her tummy was growling. She hadn
‘’Oh my gosh! Tessa you look so beautiful,’’ Sophie said after pulling Tessa into a hug and was now staring at her with amazement.Tessa on the other hand, could not believe her eyes. She was definitely shocked, unexpectedly meeting a friend but she wondered how Sophie could recognize or even remember her. Especially when she was putting on a hoodie. After all, they weren't exactly close friends back in school.‘’Sophie!’’ Tessa finally replied with the same amount of surprise filled enthusiasm.Sophie had a round face with full lips which was carefully colored with her red lipstick. Her eyelashes has always been long, but at that moment they seemed longer and darker, giving her the pretty gothic girl look with her red knee length gown.‘’Tessa, I am so happy to see you. I just spotted you down the hall. I kept wondering if you were the one, but after a much closer look. I could not control myself from calling out your name," Sophie said all through, with a smile on her face.Tessa wa
Tessa got dressed in a gray hoodie and stepped out of her home for a stroll. She had been indoors earlier eating some of the junk food purchased for her by Sophie. She didn't do much and didn't even dare to take a sip of the wine. She had contacted a few well-known nutritionists online the other day so she could be well informed about the pregnancy. And the dos and don'ts.She hadn't been outside her home since the day before and needed to get fresh air. She also wanted to exercise a little so her muscles would not become stiff.As expected, her neighborhood was quiet. The leaves on the trees aligned by the side of the road blew lightly from time to time, adding to its serene atmosphere. ‘’Hey pretty,’’ a guy dressed in a pair of royal-blue shorts jogged past her. He paused in front of her, with a smile on his face.He had Italian brown hair that brushed against his forehead as a result of the slight wind that blew. And coupled with that, he had quite an attractive face too.‘’Good
Bryce took another sip of coffee from the mug in his hand while staring at the screen of his desktop. The breeze blew by and the numerous papers that were scattered on his desk began to fly to the floor but he paid them no heed. Bryce had never been an organized man, which was why he seriously needed a good secretary. Some weeks ago, he fired his last secretary, Maria and so were a couple of others before her.Maria was a young and sexy lady who applied to work as his secretary some days after his last secretary had tried to seduce him. He was frustrated at the time as he was quite unable to understand what was with all those women.All of them believed they could seduce him. He had heard a few of them discuss how he was a cold man. Yet, they all hoped they could get into his mind and make him fall for them. After all, the Romano family was prestigious and influential in the city. Being married to him meant they would be entitled to boundless wealth.But Bruce only felt that they wer
