I'm not marrying you so we can be lovey dovey shit. Understand?'' He had this threatening look that made me feel fear.<br /> ''Then why do you want to marry me?''<br /> ''I have a daughter. Her biological mother is a whore who left her to me. She has been always asking me where is her mother and I couldn't bring myself to tell her. I just want her to have a mother figure in her life. She already got excited when I mentioned you to her. So you have no choice then to marry me, alright? And if you have this fu*ing attitude, you are going to get it fixed or I will fix it for you.'' He spat last sentence harshly.'<br /> ''How old is she?''<br /> ''Three years old.'' I saw his face soften as he spoke about her.<br /> After a short silence, I spoke up again.<br /> ''I am not sure if I can be a good mother or not.''<br /> <br /> ————————<br /> <br /> Anna's POV<br /> My name is Anna White. I'm 18 and senior in high school although I'm graduating in two months which I'm very happy about.<br /> I have older brother and sister who don't live with me and my parents because they got married. I also have one nephew from my brother that I adore so much.<br /> We are having a family gathering this afternoon. I'm so excited to see my sibilings and my nephew. I planned to buy him a gift after school.<br /> It's early in the morning and I'm currently listening to Math lesson. I was and I'm still a good student. I'm still in dilemma which college I want to attend because there are so many good colleges in USA.<br /> After Math lesson finished, I went in my second class which I have with my friend Milla. She is really a good person and sometimes gets bullied because of that. And I'm usually the one that helps her to get rid of them.<br /> I also have two more friends that I hang out with. Kelly has always been a bubbly one while Jennifer is more sophisticated. But we are great friend along with Milla.<br /> When bell rang for lunch, everybody ran out and towards the canteen. I met up with girls and we headed towards the lunch tables. We sat at our usual one and opened our lunch. We don't like to eat in canteen, fearing that we might get food poison.<br /> ''So Anna, you have a family gathering today?'' Kelly asked her.<br /> ''Yeah, I'm super excited to see my nephew.'' I squealed.<br /> ''I remeber when I had crush on your brother, it was so humiliating.'' Kelly whined.<br /> ''I still don't get how did you have a crush on my brother when he is 30. That's like twelve years age gap.''<br /> ''So what? Age is just a number. And your brother was hot. Maybe he is still hot but I haven't seen him in five years.'' Kelly explained.<br /> ''And maybe you will find someone older too so don't judge.'' Milla chimmed in.<br /> I shook my head.<br /> ''I think not. I prefer at least three years older guys.''<br /> ''You never know.'' Jennifer agreed with Milla.<br /> ''Whatever, we talked yesterday about the movies. When are we going to go?''<br /> ''The day after tomorrow. It's Sunday so it will be fine.''<br /> ''Cool.''<br /> We finished lunch in time as the bell rang again. I went to my locker to take my books for the next class. On my way to the classroom, I accidentally bumped into some man while he was talking with our principal.<br /> ''Sorry Sir.'' I apologized. He looked me up and down and his eyes landed on my eyes.<br /> ''Never mind.'' He said breaking the staring contest. His voice was gruff and nowhere near friendly.<br /> He turned around and continued his talk with the principal. I shook my head and entered the classroom. My Science teacher was already inside so I just apologized for being late and he let me go, luckily.<br /> I was walking back home and on my way I bought a little trunk in a toy shop for Thomas, my nephew. He is four years old and crazy for trunks and cars. He has whole collection of cars from some cartoon he watches and my brother gets pretty annoyed when somebody buys him new toy because he already has too many.<br /> I entered the house and went in my room to get changed. I took a shower and wore shorts and loose shirt. I heard the door opening downstairs and Thomas's squeals.<br /> I hurried down to see them already in the living putting their stuff down. When Thomas saw me he run to me and hugged my legs.<br /> ''Auntie, I missed you.'' He smiled showing his half missing teeth. I lifted him and sat him on my hip.<br /> ''I missed you too. You are big boy now.'' I tickled his stomach causing him to erupt in giggles.<br /> I put him down and went to hug my brother and my sister-in-law. She is really a great woman and loves my brother a lot. They told her she can't have kids anymore and that they are lucky Thomas was born. They accepted that fact and they are grateful that they have their son.<br /> My mom made lunch and set the table quickly. Thomas wanted to sit next to me and to feed him. I think I spoiled him too much but he is such a cutie.<br /> ''How is school going Anna?'' My brother asked me.<br /> ''It's good. My graduation is in two months.'' I shoved a piece of potato in my mouth.<br /> ''Did you ask about colleges?''<br /> ''Well I don't know yet. There are a lot of good colleges and I need to see in which one I'll be accepted.'' I explained.<br /> My mom suddenly cleared her throat. I turned my head towards her giving her my attention.<br /> ''Actually, you don't need to push yourself to go on a college.''<br /> ''Why?'' I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.<br /> ''Because you may not go to the college.''<br /> ''What?'' I raised my voice.<br /> ''Don't raise your voice at your mother, young lady.'' My dad said.<br /> ''Why wouldn't I go to the college?''<br /> ''Because you are getting married.''<br /> <br /> Edward's POV<br /> ''Thank you Mr. Reed for helping our school. We are very honored and grateful.'' I rolled my eyes as he can't see me over the phone. I do this just because my fiancee attends your school.<br /> ''No problem Mr. Smith. I'm glad that I can help.'' I shut down the phone no bothering to say goodbye. He was being noisy anyway.<br /> I'm Edward Reed known as a billionare of NYC. I have a daughter named Sofia and unfortunately she doesn't have a mother. Her biological mother is a bimbo that I slept with once. She left Sophia after she gave birth to her and I payed her a money to not see her again.<br /> I wanted to give a mother to Sofia so I agreed to arranged marriage. I get to know my fiancee's parents through a friend. When I saw her picture, I wanted her. She seemed bubbly and kind and I thought she would be perfect mother figure to Sofia.<br /> When I bumped into the girl in a school, I didn't expect her to be my fiancee. She is actually gorgeous in reality. I also loved her voice when she apologized. I shouldn't be attracted to a girl that is younger 17 years but something says that I should take care of her.<br /> My phone rang and I saw Sofia's nanny calling. I picked up a phone worried that something happened to Sofia.<br /> ''Hello Sir?''<br /> ''Hello Mary?''<br /> ''Sir Sofia wanted to talk to you.''<br /> ''Okay. Hand her a phone.''<br /> I heard some shuffling before Sofia's voice spoke.<br /> ''Hi daddy!'' She giggled.<br /> ''Hi princess! Why did you want to call me? Did something happened?''<br /> ''No, it's fine. I miss you. When will you get home?'' I know she looks sad by the sound of her voice.<br /> ''I have something to finish then I will get home and then we can play together okay? But you must be a good girl to Mary.''<br /> ''Okay. I will wait for you. I love you daddy. Bye.''<br /> ''I love you too. Bye.''<br /> I hung down the phone and sighed. It's always like this. I really need to get married. She is already big and she understands everything except the part about her mother because I never told her about that bimbo.<br /> I returned to work on some papers as I got another phone call. I will seriously brake this phone. I picked up the phone already annoyed.<br /> ''Hello?''<br /> ''Hello Mr. Reed. I'm calling regarding Anna.'' Man voice said over the phone. Who is Anna? He probably noticed my silence when he continued.<br /> ''Your fiancee. I'm her father.''<br /> ''Okay. Is there a problem?''<br /> ''We told her about your marriage and she is not very pleased. So I thought maybe we could arrange a meeting.''<br /> ''Yes, sure. Just a second.''<br /> I looked over to my schedule to see that Friday afternoon is clear.<br /> ''So the Friday afternoon is alright?''<br /> ''Yes. I will inform her about it. Goodbye.''<br /> ''Goodbye.''<br /> Now I have to deal with her. She will learn her place if she has an attitude. I'm not the person to punish but if I have to I'll punish her for being bitchy.<br /> I continued fixing papers and fortunately nobody called again. It was getting late and I promised to Sofia that I will come home to play with her. I finished last papers and exited my office.<br /> When I came home, Sofia ran to me and hugged my legs. I smiled and picked her up.<br /> ''Hello princess.''<br /> ''Hi daddy. Are we going to play now?''<br /> ''Yes we are. But I need to go change my clothes okay? Will you wait for me?''<br /> ''Yes.'' She giggled. I pecked her cheek and put her down. She ran to her playroom immediately.<br /> I went in my bedroom and changed in a sweatpants and white T-shirt. I was tired but I couldn't take down a promise I made to Sofia so I hurried in her room.<br /> We were playing tea party. She really loves tea parties even if there is no tea. I just love her so much. She is the best thing that ever happened in my life.<br /> ''Have you been good today with Mary?''<br /> ''Yes. She gave me cookies for reward.''<br /> ''Really? I'm happy to hear that.''<br /> ''Daddy, can I ask you something?''<br /> ''Whatever you want.''<br /> ''When is mommy going to come?''<br /> I got used to this but now I have different answer for her. She will be happy because of this.<br /> ''I will soon bring mommy home. You can wait for her a little bit longer, right?'' She squealed and hugged me.<br /> ''I can wait for her.''<br /> She pulled away and sat in front of me.<br /> ''Is she pretty?''<br /> ''Very pretty.''<br /> ''I can't wait to play dolls with her and draw pictures with her.'' Her eyes were wide and sparkling as she was talking about my fiancee.<br /> ''Does she like to bake?''<br /> ''Probably. We will find out, but now is time for bed.''<br /> I picked her up and put her in her princess bed. I started reading her a story but she was out on the second page. I pulled her pink duvet over her and pecked her forehead.<br /> It's been a long day today and I just wanted to sleep. I was glad that she liked the idea of getting a mother. It's only important that she is happy.<br /> <br /> Anna's POV<br /> I can't believe that MY parents arangged a marriage for me and to a man that I don't know a name. This is hilarious but miserable at the same time.<br /> And on top of everything, I need to meet him today. I just hope he is nice, at least. I should be meeting him on my own because my parents said it will be better if we have privacy. Like, nothing will help this situation.<br /> I got dressed in a black dress with white dots and put on my white sandals. If I'm going to meet my ''fiancè'', I'm at least going to be decent. I don't like to put a makeup so I just put a mascara and lipgloss.<br /> I put my phone and a wallet in my purse. I got out of the house not bothering to say bye to my parents. The cab got right on time and drove me to the restaurant.<br /> My dad told me to say just his surname because he already reserved the table. I asked the lady at the reception his surname and she led me to a table for two. I expected him to be there but he wasn't.<br /> I ordered water and sat there waiting for him. I was actually curious about his looks. Is he handsome or ugly? I really hope he is nice because I couldn't stand some crazy guy.<br /> After 10 minutes, some older man entered the restaurant and the same lady that escorted me, was now leading him to my table. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion as stood next to me.<br /> He is actually a man I bumped into in the hallway of my school.<br /> ''Hello.'' He said as he sat across me.<br /> ''Sorry this place is already taken.''<br /> ''Yeah I know.'' He shrugged.<br /> ''Then why did you sit here?''<br /> ''Because this chair is taken by me, fiancee.'' He smirked and put his hand on the table.<br /> What? Is he for real? What were my parents thinking when they thought I would marry him? He is for sure older than 30.<br /> ''You are the man I have to marry?''<br /> ''Yeah, is there a problem?''<br /> ''A problem?'' I ask in disbelief.<br /> ''Of course there is a problem. You are old and I can't marry you.'' I raised my voice.<br /> ''First, you'll lower your voice. Second, I won't tolerate you disrespect.'' He paused but continued.<br /> ''I may be older than you but I'm not old.'' He emphasized old.<br /> ''How old are anyway?'' I ask.<br /> ''Thirty five.'' I widen my eyes.<br /> ''Do you know how old I am?''<br /> ''You are eighteen.''<br /> ''And you have no problem with that?''<br /> I ask feeling surprised how nonchalant he is about this whole situation.<br /> He leaned closer to me on a table.<br /> ''Let me tell you something. I'm not marrying you so we can be lovey dovey . Understand?'' He had this threatening look that made me feel fear.<br /> ''Then why do you want to marry me?''<br /> ''I have a daughter. Her biological mother is a bimbo who left her to me. She has been always asking me where is her mother and I couldn't bring myself to tell her. I just want her to have a mother figure in her life. She already got excited when I mentioned you to her. So you have no choice then to marry me, alright? And if you have this fu ing attitude, you are going to get it fixed or I will fix it for you.'' He spat last sentence harshly.<br /> ''What about my education? I want to go on a college.'' I say still standing my ground.<br /> ''Who said you are not going on a college? I won't marry so you'll be perfect housewife but just to be a mother to Sofia.''<br /> ''How old is she?''<br /> ''Three years old.'' I saw his face soften as he spoke about her.<br /> After a short silence, I spoke up again.<br /> ''Can I at least think about all of this?''<br /> ''There is nothing for you to think about, you'll just have to get used to this. Because there is no declining.''<br /> I nodded my head, biting my lip to stop tears from falling. I took a sip of water to clear my throat. I really have no escape from this, huh?<br /> ''I think I should go home.'' I took my purse and got up.<br /> ''I'll drive you.'' He already got up before I could protest.<br /> He led us to a really nice car. I told him the directions to my house and he came really fast. I muttered bye and got out before he managed to say something.<br /> <br /> Edward's POV<br /> ''Daddy when are we going to meet mommy?'' Sofia whined tugging on my hand.<br /> ''Soon princess.''<br /> ''But you said that a week ago.''<br /> ''Sofia you need to know that mommy will come for sure but she wouldn't like her daughter to be impatient. Okay?''<br /> She made pouted lips but nodded.<br /> ''Okay.''<br /> ''Do you want to go play now?'' I say trying to lighten her mood.<br /> ''Yes.'' She chirped and ran to the room.<br /> I took my phone and dialled Anna's number. I was glad that she answered fast.<br /> ''Hello?''<br /> ''Hi Anna.''<br /> ''Hi.''<br /> ''I wanted to ask you when you are free?''<br /> ''Why?''<br /> ''Sofia wants to meet you.''<br /> ''Oh really?'' She sounded happy about it.<br /> ''Yes. I wanted to introduce you to her. So if you have time-'' I was cut off.<br /> ''Yeah, sure. Is Thursday okay?''<br /> ''Yeah perfect.''<br /> ''Great.''<br /> ''Thank you Anna. See you in two days.''<br /> ''Bye.''<br /> She hung down and I put my phone on a table. I'm surprised that she was chill about meeting her. Sofia is like magnet for people and maybe for Anna also.<br /> Anna is actually really pretty and I'm really glad that I chose her. She also seem that she will take good care of Sofia which I'll be happy to see. Sofia just wants a mother and mother's love.<br /> I know I'm not good enough to take a roll of a mother but I really put a great effort in these past three years. My daughter is worth everything on this world and I wouldn't trade a world for her. She is small bundle of joy in my life.<br /> She is the one that can make me smile easily and melt right when I see her. I feel like a little child around her and that brings memories. She is my everything. I just hope Anna will like her.<br /> <br /> Anna's POV<br /> I'm so nervous. I'm going to meet the kid that I was supposed to be a mother to. She is basically my daughter then.<br /> Edward told me to come to their house so we could be more comfortable. I'm also nervous because of that. I'm going to live there in a few months.<br /> I didn't know what to wear but then decided on a white crop top with thin straps and blue jeans. I slipped in my shoes and tied the laces.<br /> I called the cab and gave a driver the address. After 10 minutes or so, we arrived at big mansion. I gawked at the house in awe. It's so pretty and beautiful.<br /> After I payed my far, I entered the big door. Driveway was also big and there were few cars different colors. I knocked on the front door and not surprisingly, Edward opened it.<br /> He checked me from head to toe and his eyes darkened. He moved aside motioning me to come in.<br /> "Get inside." I passed past him and waited for him to close the door.<br /> "Where is Sofia?" I ask looking around this beautiful mansion.<br /> "She is upstairs. Go sit in in the living room, I'll go get her." Does he really have to be so rude? I brushed off his rude behaviour and found my way to the living room.<br /> This room is huge. Probably the biggest living room, I ever saw. There are two black leather couches with matching armchair. And there is enormous TV across them. I could get used to this.<br /> I soon heard giggles coming in the living room. I turned around to see Edward holding a hand to a beautiful little girl. She is so gorgeous and she got her father's look which I'm not complaining about. I mean they are both really pretty looking.<br /> I smiled at her showing my white teeth. She seemed to be in some daze before she looked over at Edward.<br /> "Daddy she is very pretty."<br /> "She is." He smiled to her. I blushed at their words and his smile is really beautiful. But as soon as he looked over at me his smile disappeared and he replaced it with a stern look like always.<br /> I ignored him and crounched down to her eye level.<br /> "Thank you Sofia. You are really gorgeous too." I smiled when I saw her cheeks getting pink.<br /> "Thank you." She smiled shyly. I just want to squish her chubby cheeks.<br /> "How about you two get to know each other and I'll come when is dinner time." Edward said.<br /> "Daddy you won't play with us?" Sofia said with a pout. Aww.<br /> "No princess. I need to work but I will come for the dinner, okay?"<br /> "Okay."<br /> "Princess maybe you should go to your room and prepare toys while I talk to Anna about something."<br /> She nodded and ran off upstairs. She seems really active kid since she has a speed for running that fast. I lifted myself and turned to look at him.<br /> "While I'm gone, I don't want any problem to occur. Dinner time is around 7 o'clock and I'll be here by then."<br /> "Okay." I say.<br /> "Better." He went upstairs and I followed him as I remebered that Sofia is waiting for me. He pointed to the door on the left and I nodded. The doors were open and I saw Sofia already on the chair with tea cups on it.<br /> I sat at the floor and criss crossed my legs.<br /> "We are having a tea party." She giggled.<br /> "May I ask if you would pour me some tea, princess?" I acted the same as her which seemed to excite her.<br /> She poured invisible tea in the white princess cup in front of me. I acted as I was drinking it on which she giggled. She is really bubbly kid and always happy as I see.<br /> "The tea is really delicious, my princess."<br /> "There is actually no tea, mommy." She giggled but once she realized what she said she covered her mouth with her small hand. I got some really happy feeling inside me when she called me mommy.<br /> "I'm sorry for calling you mommy."<br /> "Why are you sorry?" I ask confused.<br /> "Daddy told me to not call you mommy yet."<br /> "Daddy huh?" I say annoyed. This idiot. She nodded her head.<br /> "Sofia, do you want me to be your mommy?" I ask her softly. She again nodded her head causing her braids to bounce.<br /> "Then I'm your mommy and you can call me like that." I smiled.<br /> She squealed and jumped in my arms. I catched her and hugged her tightly. She is so innocent and fragile little girl. I just can't say anything that will hurt her.<br /> "Thank you mommy." She smiled and her eyes sparkled.<br /> "Thank you too for accepting me." She put big wet peck on my cheek.<br /> "You are the prettiest mommy ever." She said.<br /> "Thank you." I pecked her forehead and got up. I lifted her up and sat her on my hip.<br /> "Do you want to show mommy the kitchen?" She nodded her head.<br /> I exited the room with her in my arms and she pointed to the stairs. I climbed downstairs and she pointed to the right. There was a big open kitchen with huge island. I saw her high chair and put her inside.<br /> "Do you want me to bake cookies?" I ask her.<br /> ''You know how to bake?" She widened her eyes as she couldn't believe what I just said.<br /> "Of course I know." I said proud of myself.<br /> "That's is so cool mommy. Can I help you?"<br /> "Sure, but I need to take the ingredients first, okay?" She nodded her head in anticipation.<br /> I searched through every cupboard until I found everything I needed. I took her out of her chair and put her on the island carefully. We were making cookie dough together and all I can say about her is that she is really precious.<br /> After cookies were done, I put them in a plate. I wondered who is making dinner when there is nobody in the house then some older woman I now know as Mary entered the house.<br /> She introduced herself as Sofia's nanny and a cook in this house. She was happy when I introduced myself as Edward's fiancee even if I'm not so happy. I took Sofia to the living room and played some cartoons on the TV until dinner was ready.<br /> She was sitting in my lap leaned on my chest when I heard the door opening. I turned around to see Edward with some suitcase in his hand. He looked over to us, loosening his tie.<br /> "Hello princess." He smiled at her and picked her up.<br /> "Hi daddy."<br /> "Were you good today?"<br /> "I was. Me and mommy were playing then we baked cookies."<br /> He looked over at me with furrowed eyebrows. I raised my eyebrow at him but he brushed it off and turned to look at Sofia.<br /> "That's great. You need to wash your hands now then we are going to eat a dinner, okay?" She nodded her head and he pecked her cheek then put her down.<br /> After she runned to the bathroom, he looked at me in confusion.<br /> "What?" I ask annoyed.<br /> ''I told her to call me mommy after a certain person said no."<br /> "I just thought you would be uncomfortable with it."<br /> "I'm not." Sofia came back and pulled my hand towards the dinning room.<br /> There were three plates set up with different food on a table. I sat next to the Edward and Sofia sat next to me. I cut her food in small pieces so she could chew easily. I noticed that Edward was staring at me but ignored it.<br /> "Daddy can mommy stay for tonight, please?" She made puppy eyes.<br /> "If she wants to." He shrugged.<br /> "Will you mommy?"<br /> "I can stay." I couldn't say no to this cute face so I accepted.<br /> She squealed and hugged me. I'm actually proud that I can be a mother to such cute and kind little girl. She really can lighten everyone's mood quickly.<br /> Sofia was sleepy so we put her in a bed and Edward led me to the guest room. He told me he would bring his shirt for me to sleep in because he doesn't have any woman's clothes.<br /> I laid in a bed after I changed myself. This was really excited day. I actually became Sofia's mom and I like it. His shirt smells nice and just lures me to sleep. And that's exactly what I did.<br /> <br /> ''Mommy, I miss you. When will you come?'' Sofia whined on the other side of a phone.<br /> ''Aww, I miss you too baby. I'll come this afternoon.''<br /> ''Yayy. I can't wait to see you mommy.''<br /> ''Me too princess.'' I smiled.<br /> The bell rang for the end of a lunch.<br /> ''Baby, mommy needs to go.''<br /> ''Okay mommy. Bye.'' She made a peck sound as she hung down the phone.<br /> I put my phone in a pocket and looked over to the girls. They were smirking at me.<br /> ''You turned into a mother material in just two weeks.'' Kelly said.<br /> ''You should see her. She is so cute and adorable.'' I say.<br /> ''She is already calling you mommy?'' Milla asked.<br /> ''At first Edward told her not to but I saw that she was sad about it so I let her.'' I shrugg.<br /> We got in a classroom and I sat with Jennifer. I was thinking about Edward and our relationship. I know that we don't love each other and all that, but to ly talk? Like about some imporatant stuff or just as friends.<br /> He is never home when I come to see Sofia and when we see each other it's usually just ''hi'' or ''bye''. Not even the worst enemies talk so little.<br /> I was thinking about all of this until I needed to go to Sofia. I learned that her favourite snacks are gummy bears so I bought them on my way there.<br /> I came in the house and didn't bother to knock on it. Sofia probably heard me entering when she rushed to the stairs but fell on a floor.<br /> I rushed to her and picked her up.<br /> ''Baby are you okay?''<br /> ''I'm okay mommy.'' She giggled and pecked my cheek. A wave of relief passed through me.<br /> ''Are you sure? Does anything hurt you?''<br /> ''I'm fine.''<br /> ''Okay. Did Mary bath you?''<br /> ''Not yet.'' She shook her head.<br /> ''Alright then. Mommy will give you a bath.'' I pecked her cheek and went in her room.<br /> I took pink panties for her and blue onesie. I took her in a bathroom and started the warm water. I put mix for bubble bath which made her squeal in happiness.<br /> When the water was ready, I undressed her and put her in the tub. She seemed to enjoy it a lot. I washed her hair and body then let her play with her toys for a while.<br /> I took her out of the bathtub and dried her off. When I finished, I put her on my hip and went downstairs to eat something.<br /> ''Did you like the bath?'' I ask her putting her in her high chair.<br /> ''Yeah mommy. You make the best baths ever.'' She smiled.<br /> ''I will always do them just for you.''<br /> I made us toast then gave her gummy bears I bought. She was so happy about it and she was going to eat whole bag if I didn't stop her.<br /> Sofia wanted me to hold her and I could tell she was sleepy. I took her in my arms and she immediately wrapped her tiny arms around my neck. I was keeping her bottom and started rocking her slowly.<br /> I could tell she was out when I heard her breath even. Suddenly bell on the front door rang. I opened door in confusion to see some older woman in very tight clothes.<br /> ''Hello. Who do you need?''<br /> ''I came to see my daughter.'' I cringed on her voice.<br /> ''I'm sorry. You must mistook something.''<br /> ''I didn't mistake anything. I came to see my daughter Sofia.'' She acted stubborn.<br /> ''I repeat again that you mistook something, because I'm Sofia's mother.'' I was already annoyed with her arrival.<br /> ''I gave birth to her. That means I'm her mother.''<br /> ''No you are not her mother or you'll ever be.'' I heard familiar voice behind her.<br /> Edward came next to me and wrapped his arm around me. I felt Sofia started moving around so stroked her back to put her back to sleep.<br /> ''I don't want to see you ever again, in front of my daughter or my fiancee.'' He said protectively tightening his hand on my stomach.<br /> ''Fiancee? This bimbo is your fiancee?'' She checked me up and down in disgust.<br /> ''I said shut up and get lost bimbo.'' He spat and leaned in my touch as it would calm him down.<br /> ''You'll see what was going to happen.'' She threatened and turned around then left.<br /> ''Mommy?'' I heard Sofia's sleepy voice. Jeez, this woman just awoken my daughter with her awful voice.

I command Adam using all my Luna force.<br /> "I, Alpha Adam Hawkins, Alpha of the Red Blood Pack, I reject you, Lexie Banks, as my mate!" and giving her a serious look he commands her "Accept my rejection!"<br /> In the last life, I've been Luna since I married Adam and even if we were not fated mates I've done my job in the interest of this pack outstandingly. But finally, Lexie tortured me, Adam killed me.<br /> This time is only about me and about surviving, so screw you Lexie Banks, Adam Hawkins and Red Blood Pack! I had enough of you! <br /> "I want to divorce" I say and I can't believe that I am saying this but this is what I want.<br /> "I want to divorce!"<br /> ————————<br /> I lift my face and I look directly into my abuser eyes. I know him and he knows me. He knows that I am his Luna. We grew up together and he swore his oath to me three years ago and now he is whipping me like I am some kind of criminal?<br /> "Why are you beating me?" I say trying to look at his with dignity.<br /> "I asked you something, Bill?" I say again trying to support myself in my arms as I am kneeled on the ground of my cell.<br /> "What harm have I ever done to be treated like this?"<br /> But Bill throws me a furious gaze:<br /> "You know what you have done!" and out of nowhere another whip comes on my back ripping my flesh.<br /> "Kelly..."I whisper to my wolf and my head falls between my arms hitting the ground.<br /> "Kelly it hurts too much..." and my tears started to flow on my cheeks even if I tried, I really tried to resist and be brave but I can't do it anymore so I lean on the floor.<br /> "Can you help me, Kelly? Can you heal me?" I ask my wolf.<br /> "I want to, Natalie" she groans in pain.<br /> "but I can't do it anymore. I am too weak. He is beating us for hours" andI can hear her howls. She is begging the gods for help. Where is my Goddess right now? I don't deserve this.<br /> "Please" I whisper and try again to lift my head.<br /> "What is going on, Bill? Whatever is happening here you must know that it is just a misunderstanding. " and I placed my head on the ground so I could watch him as I spoke to him.<br /> "You fooled!" Bill growls at me.<br /> "You made us think that you are a good woman but you are just a malicious woman with no heart" and he lifts his arm in the air to hit me again.<br /> I know I can't escape from this. He even gave me wolfsbane so I could become weak and submit to him. I have no chance. I have no power in this.<br /> "I swear to you, Bill" I say in a whisper "I have no idea what are you talking about.."<br /> "Then how is it that her pup is dead,huh?" Bill asks and slaps me hard over my face "How is that our little Alpha is dead?"<br /> WHAT? What little Alpha? Who is dead?<br /> "Don't look at me as if you have no idea what is going on!" he says and slaps me. "You killed Lexie's baby! Our pack's heir!"<br /> Lexie's unborn pup is dead?<br /> "I didn't do it!" I scream with all the strength that was left in me. I would never do that!<br /> "I didn't touch her! It is not my fault if she aborted her pup!" I tell him and now my heart started to beat faster and faster.<br /> You might think that there is a problem,talking about another woman's pup as the pack's heir as I am Luna and the legal wife of Adam Hawkins, the Alpha of Red Blood Pack but there is more than that.<br /> I may be his Luna, but I am infertile and for three years all he wanted was to have an heir. And his fated mate gave it to him what I couldn't.<br /> I have no idea why the Moon Goddess made me infertile, but this is the way I am.<br /> But why are they accusing me of killing her pup? I have nothing to do with that.<br /> "Stop looking at me like that!" Bill suddenly growls, making me come back from my thoughts. "Stop looking at me as if you are innocent!"<br /> And I close my eyes in horror as I see the whip coming in my direction again but before he could touch me, the door opens and a hard growl comes from the frame door.<br /> "For the goddess's name, what have you done, Bill?"<br /> "What it was told to me. I made her pay for her crimes!" Bill says but in the next second he is pushed away from me by Philip McNeil, our beta. I can barely see Bill because of the blood that flows down my face, but he falls to the ground close to me.<br /> But what is making my soul jump is the scent of Adam. He is here, he will trust me. He knows me and he loves me. He knows that I would never do what Bill is accusing me. I try to look at him but before I could do it, Philip growls at Bill.<br /> "Who do you think you are to punish her? She deserves a trial. Until then no one can say if she is guilty or not!" Phillip tells him in a harsh voice,and kneels next to and looks at my wounds.<br /> "Get out of here, Bill, and don't show up again or I am strangling you for abusing your Luna!" he commands Bill.<br /> "She is not my Luna anymore!" Bill growls but he listens to Phillip and leaves my cell, leaving me alone with Adam and Philip. But why is Adam silent?<br /> "What have you done, Natalie?" Phillip whispers, looking at me with sadness.<br /> "I...did...nothing" I whisper and try to look into his eyes but I am way too weak, so I turn my face to Adam, and try to reach his gaze, but he looks at me with hatred.<br /> "Adam..."I whisper.<br /> "Lexie says that you did it" Phillip tells me and now my heart stops, but Philip's voice is not harsh anymore. He is talking to me calmly. "Everything is against you, Natalie."<br /> I look at Adam. He can't believe this. No,no, no. He must trust me, I just found out about Lexie's pup. How can I prove to them that I didn't do it?<br /> Who is gone say for me in front of Adam?<br /> Rosie!<br /> My omega must know that I wasn't in Lexie's room. She was with me all the time. She must help me. She is my only chance.<br /> "Adam" I say and this time I opened my eyes and looked directly into my mate's eyes "Please, talk with Rosie Walker. She knows that I didn't do it. She is my servant. She will stay by my side and tell you the truth. I would never touch an innocent pup, Adam. I am not that kind of person" and I burst into tears again.<br /> "I didn't do it!" I almost screamed,freaking out for the first time since this madness started.<br /> But before I could add something else the voice that I loved the most in this world mocks me hard as if he never loved me, as if I am his biggest enemy.<br /> "There is no need to tell me anything " Adam, my Alpha, my chosen mate and my husband says. "I already know what you did."<br /> What? No, this can't happen.<br /> "Love, I would never..." but the moment I said that his face became dark and coming in my direction he made me almost jump in fear.<br /> "Don't hurt me!" I screamed in horror,trying to hug my knees, and come in a fetal position as an attempt to defend myself from his hit, but my action shocked him.<br /> "What are you doing, Adam?" Phillip asks him and looks at me with strange eyes.<br /> "You are asking me that?" Adam asks furious and he is using his alpha command on him. "How do you dare to question me for this dog?" and the moment his words came out, Kelly's howls started to become louder and louder in my head. He hates us. He doesn't believe us.<br /> "Is not about betrayal, Adam" Phillip tells him "Is about giving her a chance to explain herself, to defend herself if there is something that was not spoken until now."<br /> Adam looks at me and I grab my wounded arms and wrap them around my body. I feel so cold, as the blood is flowing out of my system.<br /> "She will die soon, if you don't stop this madness" Phillip says, looking at me and that made Adam flinch. Maybe there are still a few emotions, a gram of love in his heart that it is destined for me.<br /> "I didn't do it" I whisper, trying my luck.<br /> "I would never hurt you this way, Adam"<br /> I say.<br /> I would never do that. He must know that.<br /> "But yet you did it!" Adam says in the end with some remorse in his gaze and turns his head in another direction as if he can't look at my wounded body anymore.<br /> "You were jealous of Lexie. I told you that she would never take your Luna position, but I need her to procreate. And you? What have you done? You worked on my back out of jealousy!"<br /> "I trusted you, Adam. There was no need to hurt her. I trusted you" I say and using all my strength I kneel and try to get on my feet.<br /> "You are lying!" He says turning around and pointing his index finger in my direction, looking at me with bloody eyes but I can't be weak. I need to beg him to listen to me.<br /> "You hurt my mate!" he growls at me "The mother of my pup!"<br /> His mate? HIS MATE? I can't do this anymore.<br /> "If she is your mate, what am I, Adam?" I asked him without even flinching because everything started to become clear. He loves her too even if he said he doesn't. But my question took him by surprise, because he just stares at me as if he has no idea how to answer that.<br /> "If you ever loved me even for a second"<br /> I tell him and look directly into his eyes.<br /> "I beg you, bring my servant here. Rosie knows my actions. She was with me almost all the time. She will be my witness."<br /> He is staring at me and he is doubting me.<br /> "Man she may..."Phillip starts but he is interrupted by a soft woman's voice.<br /> "She is right" and Adam turns around and almost runs to the door.<br /> "What are you doing here, Lexie?" he asks with a scared voice. "You should rest after everything you've suffered."<br /> "I wanted to see, Natalie," she whispers with the same soft voice. "I wanted to ask her why she did it".<br /> "Because she was jealous!" Adam explains to her and pulls her into his arms, making me and Kelly surfer. He marked me, he must know that he makes me suffer.<br /> "She said that she has a witness," Lexie tells him. "Maybe she is right, maybe it is all a misunderstanding" and my heart stopped.<br /> "Something is not right, Nat" Kelly whispers. "Is she defending us? Why would she do that?"<br /> "Bring her servant here" Lexie tells Adam ."I want to know if she wasn't the one who put poison in my food to abort our sweet and innocent pup." and my heart is not beating anymore.<br /> Is he going to give me a chance to defend myself? Is he going to save me from this madness? But why is Lexie helping me?<br /> "Are you sure?" he asks Lexie, without looking at me and she just nods,looking at him with puppy eyes.<br /> "I will give only one more chance,Natalie" Adam says and leaves Lexie's embrace. "For the sake of our past together" and looking at Phillip commands him.<br /> "Bring Rosie Walkers here"<br /> He did it. He gave us another chance..<br /> Even if it was not for us but for Lexie's sake, at least I have a chance to explain myself.<br /> "Did you ask for me, Alpha?" Rosie says and looking at me she lost her colors.<br /> "Luna!" she screams in horror, as she tries to reach me, but Adam stops her.<br /> "Leave her!" and using his Alpha command asks her.<br /> "Tell me the truth, Rosie. Is Natalie guilty or not for my unborn pup's death?" and that question made Rosie stop in her tracks. She is all shivering and bursts into tears.<br /> "What is going on?" I ask myself. What is with her reaction?<br /> "I command you to talk!" Adam growls at her and she looks at me and gives me devilish grin.<br /> "I am so sorry Alpha!" she busted in tears.<br /> Sorry for what? What is going on?<br /> "She forced me to do it, Alpha!" Rosie says and now I am really dead.<br /> "I didn't want to but she forced me."<br /> And Rosie kneels in front of Adam. "She used her Luna command on me and I was forced to submit to her! She commanded me to poison your fated mate!"<br /> "I never used my Luna command on anyone!" I tell him but Adam turns around and slaps me. "Please, love, please believe me!" I beg him, crying my heart out. "You know me since I was two, I would never do that!" and I grab his leg but Adam just kicks me to the ground.<br /> "Don't touch me!" he growls at me.<br /> "I love you, Adam. I would never..." but he turns his back to me and grabbing Lexie's hand he commands Phillip.<br /> "Prepare everything. Tomorrow I will execute her!"<br /> "You can't do that!" I growl at him. "This is a set up!" but he just left, dragging Lexie after him.<br /> "Just a moment," she says. "I need to ask her something." she excuses herself.<br /> "I am not leaving you alone with a criminal" Adam says and let me tell you.<br /> He is the criminal here, because he is killing me with his actions.<br /> "She can't hurt me anymore" Lexie tells him and gives him a nod. "Not now when I know the truth. Please" she begs him with her fake soft voice.<br /> "I will give you five minutes and if you are not in bed, Lexie, I swear to the goddess that I am going to beat you."<br /> he commands her but she just smiles and pecks his cheek.<br /> "I promise, my Alpha"<br /> Kelly growls "She is doing it on purpose!" and she would like to transform and kill Lexie, but she can't even heal me.<br /> "So?" Lexie asks me as soon as we are alone. "How is it to lose everything?"and she starts to laugh like crazy.<br /> "Why are you staring at me like this?"<br /> she asks me, mocking me. "You were such an easy target," she says,wrapping her arms at her chest."<br /> "You framed me out!" I told her while I supported myself on a wall so I could sit on my feet. "This is your work" I say and I know that I am right and for the first time in my life, my heart is full of hatred. I hate Lexie Banks. At this moment I even hate Adam for not believing in me, for hurting me so badly.<br /> "Of course it was my work. I saw Adam three years ago, on the day of your wedding and I knew he was my mate,but I couldn't just show up so I waited. It is said that whoever waits until the end will receive his reward, well I waited and planned everything."<br /> And she laughs at me , looking at her "Were you even pregnant?" I can't stop myself from asking but that made her stop.<br /> "Of course I was" she says "With a rogue." and she turns around and leaves but right before she exits she looks at me and says.<br /> "Now everything is right how it should be. Adam will give me your Luna position and I will get what I was looking for."<br /> "You are crazy" I said more in a whisper,but that remark made her laugh.<br /> "Oh, my dear, you have no idea what I have done to reach this point" and turning around she comes to me again and places a hand on my womb.<br /> "I must confess to you. Anyway you will die tomorrow and at this point no one will ever believe you again."<br /> Confess me what? What does she mean?<br /> "You, not being able to procreate...that is my work too."<br /> And my blood is boiling in my veins. She did something? But we have been trying for three years to have a pup, and she showed up months after our wedding.<br /> How could she.?<br /> "Rosie!" Kelly whispered. "They worked together"<br /> I must be like an opened book for her,because she started to laugh even harder.<br /> "You figured it out, didn't you?" Lexie mocks me, but I am not in the mood to hear her again and I jump on her and grab her by her neck.<br /> "Was it all because of you?"<br /> She ruined my life! I could have been happy. I could have had my happily ever after but this jerk showed up and robbed my life!<br /> "I will kill you!" I growl trying to elongate my claws and rip her head, but Lexie pushed me and made me hit the wall with my head.<br /> Everything is spinning around and I fall on my knees again and lean on the ground, without being able to support my own weight.<br /> "You are so pathetic!" Lexie laughs.<br /> "Look how weak you are!"<br /> Oh, Lexie...If I get up you will be so dead right now, but you made them give me wolfbane.<br /> "I am leaving, sorry for not being in the mood to see your weak and ugly face right now" she says. "I am going to my mate and who knows, maybe tonight we will conceive a pup!" and she leaves me there laughing her heart out.<br /> "Over my dead body!" I tell her more in a whisper.<br /> "Yeah...yeah.." she says as if she ignores me "And that will be right tomorrow. I will intercourse Adam over your dead body!"<br /> He won't do it? Isn't he? Adam will not kill me...he is my mate, my husband...<br /> but no matter how much I repeated this in my mind in the morning when the doors opened I knew that whatever I thought that I thought I knew about Adam was gone.<br /> "Take her!" Bill commands his warriors as they push me out of my cell.<br /> "Where are they taking us?" Kelly asks me scared, trying to take the command but the wolfsbane intoxicates her.<br /> "Nat!" she calls me but I can't utter a single word, he is going to do it. He is going to keep his word. The warriors throw me ugly looks and push me to walk, and I would do it but I can barely stay on my feet and then the doors open and the sun rays hit me hard.<br /> Everything hurts. My eyes are hurting because of the strong light, my skin that is all wounded feels like burning under the summer heat and my ears...oh my goddess! Is this really the pack I loved with all my heart? Is this a Red Blood Pack? Are those the same werewolves that swore faith to me or is some kind of a nightmare?<br /> "Kill her!!!!" everyone yells "She killed our pack heir! She doesn't deserve to live anymore!" and they started to throw things in my direction. Tomatoes, shoes,rocks... and none stops them.<br /> "Criminal!!!!" someone screamed from the crowd. "Kill her Alpha! I can't stand to look at her!"<br /> Well I can't stand to look at this pack either.<br /> I put so much effort in the last three years. So many nights without sleeping.<br /> Everything I did in the last years was for this pack and they want me dead? And why? Because I wasn't able to offer them an heir? I thought that working hard will compensate for my inability to convince but they just dumped me as soon as they had the opportunity to do it.<br /> I was their Luna but at the same timeI was their Alpha because Adam never cared about the pack, but about the power that comes with the Alpha position.<br /> I did everything in my power to keep this pack united. I attended all the meetings he skipped. My life was only at the service of this pack and now it is more than clear that it was all for nothing.<br /> I understood Adam in the past. I knew he was not a very social person so took the lead and I held the reins of this pack by myself, but I would have never expected that this would be the way he would reward me.<br /> He dumped me as soon as he found his fated mate, even if he said he wouldn't do it. She became the center of his ambitious plan to have an heir and even slept with her.<br /> Oh, Adam, you are so stupid!<br /> This dog is going to bury you. She fooled and played you on your fingers,just as she did it with me.<br /> After everything you have done I am just sad that I will not have the opportunity to watch your fall. Will be greater than mine.<br /> I wanted to run away hearing that Lexie is pregnant with your child. You killed me that day so now that there is nothing left I can see it clearly. Now everything was revealed.<br /> I was so stupid to will to accept that pup in my life just for you, I should have stayed for myself and ban her out of this pack. But you know what? Red Blood Pack deserves Lexie as its Luna.<br /> This will be my revenge.<br /> I walk through the crown and their insults are not affecting me anymore.<br /> They would better trust an omega than their Luna. They are just some opportunistic cowards. They are taking revenge on me for demanding high training standards, but it was all to protect them from the rogues.<br /> They really think that someone like Lexie would be a better choice for them? Just wait and watch Red Blood Pack! This woman will perish you!<br /> Maybe I exceeded my skills by taking<br /> Adam's duties but it was only for your own good.<br /> "Nat!" Suddenly Kelly whispers "The council is here!"<br /> And dad is here too. And I can see his panicked gaze, and I can see the tears that he is trying to hold. He was Adam father's beta for years and he always looked strong and unstoppable but now he looks so human, as if seeing me this way killed his heart.<br /> "I love you dad," I mindlink him and give him a straight look into his eyes, so he would know that I mean every single word I say.<br /> "Be strong," I whisper. " Be strong for me. Don't cry for me, dad. Just be the man I know you are" and would give him a smile but I can't find the strength to move my facial muscles. I can't even utter a single word.<br /> "This is not right, Natalie" he tells me and I see him coming in my direction,but I move my eyes and command him.<br /> "No dad, let him do what he puts in his mind. I can't escape from this" and I let Bill and his warriors drive me in front of the council, even if I feel my dad eyes watching me. In this crowd he is the only one who is on my side. Everyone else wants me dead.<br /> "Natalie Williams" one of the elders of the council announces. "We found you guilty for crime against you alpha and your pack"<br /> Guilty? Oh, elder, you are so wrong here!<br /> If I wouldn't be drugged I would prove to you who the real culprit is, but I can't continue talking about your nonsense.<br /> "The punishment for your crime is death!" he utters so sure of his words and I stare at the crowd that started to cheer at his words as if he just announced that they will receive more money.<br /> I turn my head and look at Adam. Adam the love of my life and also the executioner of my life. He walks in military steps and lifts the sword that the council brought for my execution.<br /> He is not even flinching. He is doing this by conviction. He wants to kill me. His inner spirit longs for my blood.<br /> "I will miss you dad" I whisper, giving my dad a last look, and I see him falling on his knees.<br /> "I will miss you Kelly" I whisper and I would like to hug my wolf if I could, to tell her that I am not mad at her for not being able to defend me, but this is above us. This is a betrayal I could never imagine that I will face.<br /> I see Adam in front of me but he is not watching me. He just lifted the sword and pierced my heart. He kicks me with his foot and makes me fall on the ground while the crowd cheers in madness , and my father collapses for good.<br /> "Kelly" I whisper, feeling dizzy. "This is it. This is the end." and my eyelashes started to flutter as I was not able not even to keep my eyes open for a few more seconds.<br /> All I could see was my blood flowing on the ground.<br /> "Stop it!"<br /> Someone said stop it? Am I hallucinating? I opened my eyes just a little bit and I could see a handsome man running in my direction. Do I know him?

I'm not marrying you so we can be lovey dovey shit. Understand?'' He had this threatening look that made me feel fear.<br /> ''Then why do you want to marry me?''<br /> ''I have a daughter. Her biological mother is a whore who left her to me. She has been always asking me where is her mother and I couldn't bring myself to tell her. I just want her to have a mother figure in her life. She already got excited when I mentioned you to her. So you have no choice then to marry me, alright? And if you have this fu*ing attitude, you are going to get it fixed or I will fix it for you.'' He spat last sentence harshly.'<br /> ''How old is she?''<br /> ''Three years old.'' I saw his face soften as he spoke about her.<br /> After a short silence, I spoke up again.<br /> ''I am not sure if I can be a good mother or not.''<br /> <br /> ————————<br /> <br /> Anna's POV<br /> My name is Anna White. I'm 18 and senior in high school although I'm graduating in two months which I'm very happy about.<br /> I have older brother and sister who don't live with me and my parents because they got married. I also have one nephew from my brother that I adore so much.<br /> We are having a family gathering this afternoon. I'm so excited to see my sibilings and my nephew. I planned to buy him a gift after school.<br /> It's early in the morning and I'm currently listening to Math lesson. I was and I'm still a good student. I'm still in dilemma which college I want to attend because there are so many good colleges in USA.<br /> After Math lesson finished, I went in my second class which I have with my friend Milla. She is really a good person and sometimes gets bullied because of that. And I'm usually the one that helps her to get rid of them.<br /> I also have two more friends that I hang out with. Kelly has always been a bubbly one while Jennifer is more sophisticated. But we are great friend along with Milla.<br /> When bell rang for lunch, everybody ran out and towards the canteen. I met up with girls and we headed towards the lunch tables. We sat at our usual one and opened our lunch. We don't like to eat in canteen, fearing that we might get food poison.<br /> ''So Anna, you have a family gathering today?'' Kelly asked her.<br /> ''Yeah, I'm super excited to see my nephew.'' I squealed.<br /> ''I remeber when I had crush on your brother, it was so humiliating.'' Kelly whined.<br /> ''I still don't get how did you have a crush on my brother when he is 30. That's like twelve years age gap.''<br /> ''So what? Age is just a number. And your brother was hot. Maybe he is still hot but I haven't seen him in five years.'' Kelly explained.<br /> ''And maybe you will find someone older too so don't judge.'' Milla chimmed in.<br /> I shook my head.<br /> ''I think not. I prefer at least three years older guys.''<br /> ''You never know.'' Jennifer agreed with Milla.<br /> ''Whatever, we talked yesterday about the movies. When are we going to go?''<br /> ''The day after tomorrow. It's Sunday so it will be fine.''<br /> ''Cool.''<br /> We finished lunch in time as the bell rang again. I went to my locker to take my books for the next class. On my way to the classroom, I accidentally bumped into some man while he was talking with our principal.<br /> ''Sorry Sir.'' I apologized. He looked me up and down and his eyes landed on my eyes.<br /> ''Never mind.'' He said breaking the staring contest. His voice was gruff and nowhere near friendly.<br /> He turned around and continued his talk with the principal. I shook my head and entered the classroom. My Science teacher was already inside so I just apologized for being late and he let me go, luckily.<br /> I was walking back home and on my way I bought a little trunk in a toy shop for Thomas, my nephew. He is four years old and crazy for trunks and cars. He has whole collection of cars from some cartoon he watches and my brother gets pretty annoyed when somebody buys him new toy because he already has too many.<br /> I entered the house and went in my room to get changed. I took a shower and wore shorts and loose shirt. I heard the door opening downstairs and Thomas's squeals.<br /> I hurried down to see them already in the living putting their stuff down. When Thomas saw me he run to me and hugged my legs.<br /> ''Auntie, I missed you.'' He smiled showing his half missing teeth. I lifted him and sat him on my hip.<br /> ''I missed you too. You are big boy now.'' I tickled his stomach causing him to erupt in giggles.<br /> I put him down and went to hug my brother and my sister-in-law. She is really a great woman and loves my brother a lot. They told her she can't have kids anymore and that they are lucky Thomas was born. They accepted that fact and they are grateful that they have their son.<br /> My mom made lunch and set the table quickly. Thomas wanted to sit next to me and to feed him. I think I spoiled him too much but he is such a cutie.<br /> ''How is school going Anna?'' My brother asked me.<br /> ''It's good. My graduation is in two months.'' I shoved a piece of potato in my mouth.<br /> ''Did you ask about colleges?''<br /> ''Well I don't know yet. There are a lot of good colleges and I need to see in which one I'll be accepted.'' I explained.<br /> My mom suddenly cleared her throat. I turned my head towards her giving her my attention.<br /> ''Actually, you don't need to push yourself to go on a college.''<br /> ''Why?'' I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.<br /> ''Because you may not go to the college.''<br /> ''What?'' I raised my voice.<br /> ''Don't raise your voice at your mother, young lady.'' My dad said.<br /> ''Why wouldn't I go to the college?''<br /> ''Because you are getting married.''<br /> <br /> Edward's POV<br /> ''Thank you Mr. Reed for helping our school. We are very honored and grateful.'' I rolled my eyes as he can't see me over the phone. I do this just because my fiancee attends your school.<br /> ''No problem Mr. Smith. I'm glad that I can help.'' I shut down the phone no bothering to say goodbye. He was being noisy anyway.<br /> I'm Edward Reed known as a billionare of NYC. I have a daughter named Sofia and unfortunately she doesn't have a mother. Her biological mother is a bimbo that I slept with once. She left Sophia after she gave birth to her and I payed her a money to not see her again.<br /> I wanted to give a mother to Sofia so I agreed to arranged marriage. I get to know my fiancee's parents through a friend. When I saw her picture, I wanted her. She seemed bubbly and kind and I thought she would be perfect mother figure to Sofia.<br /> When I bumped into the girl in a school, I didn't expect her to be my fiancee. She is actually gorgeous in reality. I also loved her voice when she apologized. I shouldn't be attracted to a girl that is younger 17 years but something says that I should take care of her.<br /> My phone rang and I saw Sofia's nanny calling. I picked up a phone worried that something happened to Sofia.<br /> ''Hello Sir?''<br /> ''Hello Mary?''<br /> ''Sir Sofia wanted to talk to you.''<br /> ''Okay. Hand her a phone.''<br /> I heard some shuffling before Sofia's voice spoke.<br /> ''Hi daddy!'' She giggled.<br /> ''Hi princess! Why did you want to call me? Did something happened?''<br /> ''No, it's fine. I miss you. When will you get home?'' I know she looks sad by the sound of her voice.<br /> ''I have something to finish then I will get home and then we can play together okay? But you must be a good girl to Mary.''<br /> ''Okay. I will wait for you. I love you daddy. Bye.''<br /> ''I love you too. Bye.''<br /> I hung down the phone and sighed. It's always like this. I really need to get married. She is already big and she understands everything except the part about her mother because I never told her about that bimbo.<br /> I returned to work on some papers as I got another phone call. I will seriously brake this phone. I picked up the phone already annoyed.<br /> ''Hello?''<br /> ''Hello Mr. Reed. I'm calling regarding Anna.'' Man voice said over the phone. Who is Anna? He probably noticed my silence when he continued.<br /> ''Your fiancee. I'm her father.''<br /> ''Okay. Is there a problem?''<br /> ''We told her about your marriage and she is not very pleased. So I thought maybe we could arrange a meeting.''<br /> ''Yes, sure. Just a second.''<br /> I looked over to my schedule to see that Friday afternoon is clear.<br /> ''So the Friday afternoon is alright?''<br /> ''Yes. I will inform her about it. Goodbye.''<br /> ''Goodbye.''<br /> Now I have to deal with her. She will learn her place if she has an attitude. I'm not the person to punish but if I have to I'll punish her for being bitchy.<br /> I continued fixing papers and fortunately nobody called again. It was getting late and I promised to Sofia that I will come home to play with her. I finished last papers and exited my office.<br /> When I came home, Sofia ran to me and hugged my legs. I smiled and picked her up.<br /> ''Hello princess.''<br /> ''Hi daddy. Are we going to play now?''<br /> ''Yes we are. But I need to go change my clothes okay? Will you wait for me?''<br /> ''Yes.'' She giggled. I pecked her cheek and put her down. She ran to her playroom immediately.<br /> I went in my bedroom and changed in a sweatpants and white T-shirt. I was tired but I couldn't take down a promise I made to Sofia so I hurried in her room.<br /> We were playing tea party. She really loves tea parties even if there is no tea. I just love her so much. She is the best thing that ever happened in my life.<br /> ''Have you been good today with Mary?''<br /> ''Yes. She gave me cookies for reward.''<br /> ''Really? I'm happy to hear that.''<br /> ''Daddy, can I ask you something?''<br /> ''Whatever you want.''<br /> ''When is mommy going to come?''<br /> I got used to this but now I have different answer for her. She will be happy because of this.<br /> ''I will soon bring mommy home. You can wait for her a little bit longer, right?'' She squealed and hugged me.<br /> ''I can wait for her.''<br /> She pulled away and sat in front of me.<br /> ''Is she pretty?''<br /> ''Very pretty.''<br /> ''I can't wait to play dolls with her and draw pictures with her.'' Her eyes were wide and sparkling as she was talking about my fiancee.<br /> ''Does she like to bake?''<br /> ''Probably. We will find out, but now is time for bed.''<br /> I picked her up and put her in her princess bed. I started reading her a story but she was out on the second page. I pulled her pink duvet over her and pecked her forehead.<br /> It's been a long day today and I just wanted to sleep. I was glad that she liked the idea of getting a mother. It's only important that she is happy.<br /> <br /> Anna's POV<br /> I can't believe that MY parents arangged a marriage for me and to a man that I don't know a name. This is hilarious but miserable at the same time.<br /> And on top of everything, I need to meet him today. I just hope he is nice, at least. I should be meeting him on my own because my parents said it will be better if we have privacy. Like, nothing will help this situation.<br /> I got dressed in a black dress with white dots and put on my white sandals. If I'm going to meet my ''fiancè'', I'm at least going to be decent. I don't like to put a makeup so I just put a mascara and lipgloss.<br /> I put my phone and a wallet in my purse. I got out of the house not bothering to say bye to my parents. The cab got right on time and drove me to the restaurant.<br /> My dad told me to say just his surname because he already reserved the table. I asked the lady at the reception his surname and she led me to a table for two. I expected him to be there but he wasn't.<br /> I ordered water and sat there waiting for him. I was actually curious about his looks. Is he handsome or ugly? I really hope he is nice because I couldn't stand some crazy guy.<br /> After 10 minutes, some older man entered the restaurant and the same lady that escorted me, was now leading him to my table. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion as stood next to me.<br /> He is actually a man I bumped into in the hallway of my school.<br /> ''Hello.'' He said as he sat across me.<br /> ''Sorry this place is already taken.''<br /> ''Yeah I know.'' He shrugged.<br /> ''Then why did you sit here?''<br /> ''Because this chair is taken by me, fiancee.'' He smirked and put his hand on the table.<br /> What? Is he for real? What were my parents thinking when they thought I would marry him? He is for sure older than 30.<br /> ''You are the man I have to marry?''<br /> ''Yeah, is there a problem?''<br /> ''A problem?'' I ask in disbelief.<br /> ''Of course there is a problem. You are old and I can't marry you.'' I raised my voice.<br /> ''First, you'll lower your voice. Second, I won't tolerate you disrespect.'' He paused but continued.<br /> ''I may be older than you but I'm not old.'' He emphasized old.<br /> ''How old are anyway?'' I ask.<br /> ''Thirty five.'' I widen my eyes.<br /> ''Do you know how old I am?''<br /> ''You are eighteen.''<br /> ''And you have no problem with that?''<br /> I ask feeling surprised how nonchalant he is about this whole situation.<br /> He leaned closer to me on a table.<br /> ''Let me tell you something. I'm not marrying you so we can be lovey dovey . Understand?'' He had this threatening look that made me feel fear.<br /> ''Then why do you want to marry me?''<br /> ''I have a daughter. Her biological mother is a bimbo who left her to me. She has been always asking me where is her mother and I couldn't bring myself to tell her. I just want her to have a mother figure in her life. She already got excited when I mentioned you to her. So you have no choice then to marry me, alright? And if you have this fu ing attitude, you are going to get it fixed or I will fix it for you.'' He spat last sentence harshly.<br /> ''What about my education? I want to go on a college.'' I say still standing my ground.<br /> ''Who said you are not going on a college? I won't marry so you'll be perfect housewife but just to be a mother to Sofia.''<br /> ''How old is she?''<br /> ''Three years old.'' I saw his face soften as he spoke about her.<br /> After a short silence, I spoke up again.<br /> ''Can I at least think about all of this?''<br /> ''There is nothing for you to think about, you'll just have to get used to this. Because there is no declining.''<br /> I nodded my head, biting my lip to stop tears from falling. I took a sip of water to clear my throat. I really have no escape from this, huh?<br /> ''I think I should go home.'' I took my purse and got up.<br /> ''I'll drive you.'' He already got up before I could protest.<br /> He led us to a really nice car. I told him the directions to my house and he came really fast. I muttered bye and got out before he managed to say something.<br /> <br /> Edward's POV<br /> ''Daddy when are we going to meet mommy?'' Sofia whined tugging on my hand.<br /> ''Soon princess.''<br /> ''But you said that a week ago.''<br /> ''Sofia you need to know that mommy will come for sure but she wouldn't like her daughter to be impatient. Okay?''<br /> She made pouted lips but nodded.<br /> ''Okay.''<br /> ''Do you want to go play now?'' I say trying to lighten her mood.<br /> ''Yes.'' She chirped and ran to the room.<br /> I took my phone and dialled Anna's number. I was glad that she answered fast.<br /> ''Hello?''<br /> ''Hi Anna.''<br /> ''Hi.''<br /> ''I wanted to ask you when you are free?''<br /> ''Why?''<br /> ''Sofia wants to meet you.''<br /> ''Oh really?'' She sounded happy about it.<br /> ''Yes. I wanted to introduce you to her. So if you have time-'' I was cut off.<br /> ''Yeah, sure. Is Thursday okay?''<br /> ''Yeah perfect.''<br /> ''Great.''<br /> ''Thank you Anna. See you in two days.''<br /> ''Bye.''<br /> She hung down and I put my phone on a table. I'm surprised that she was chill about meeting her. Sofia is like magnet for people and maybe for Anna also.<br /> Anna is actually really pretty and I'm really glad that I chose her. She also seem that she will take good care of Sofia which I'll be happy to see. Sofia just wants a mother and mother's love.<br /> I know I'm not good enough to take a roll of a mother but I really put a great effort in these past three years. My daughter is worth everything on this world and I wouldn't trade a world for her. She is small bundle of joy in my life.<br /> She is the one that can make me smile easily and melt right when I see her. I feel like a little child around her and that brings memories. She is my everything. I just hope Anna will like her.<br /> <br /> Anna's POV<br /> I'm so nervous. I'm going to meet the kid that I was supposed to be a mother to. She is basically my daughter then.<br /> Edward told me to come to their house so we could be more comfortable. I'm also nervous because of that. I'm going to live there in a few months.<br /> I didn't know what to wear but then decided on a white crop top with thin straps and blue jeans. I slipped in my shoes and tied the laces.<br /> I called the cab and gave a driver the address. After 10 minutes or so, we arrived at big mansion. I gawked at the house in awe. It's so pretty and beautiful.<br /> After I payed my far, I entered the big door. Driveway was also big and there were few cars different colors. I knocked on the front door and not surprisingly, Edward opened it.<br /> He checked me from head to toe and his eyes darkened. He moved aside motioning me to come in.<br /> "Get inside." I passed past him and waited for him to close the door.<br /> "Where is Sofia?" I ask looking around this beautiful mansion.<br /> "She is upstairs. Go sit in in the living room, I'll go get her." Does he really have to be so rude? I brushed off his rude behaviour and found my way to the living room.<br /> This room is huge. Probably the biggest living room, I ever saw. There are two black leather couches with matching armchair. And there is enormous TV across them. I could get used to this.<br /> I soon heard giggles coming in the living room. I turned around to see Edward holding a hand to a beautiful little girl. She is so gorgeous and she got her father's look which I'm not complaining about. I mean they are both really pretty looking.<br /> I smiled at her showing my white teeth. She seemed to be in some daze before she looked over at Edward.<br /> "Daddy she is very pretty."<br /> "She is." He smiled to her. I blushed at their words and his smile is really beautiful. But as soon as he looked over at me his smile disappeared and he replaced it with a stern look like always.<br /> I ignored him and crounched down to her eye level.<br /> "Thank you Sofia. You are really gorgeous too." I smiled when I saw her cheeks getting pink.<br /> "Thank you." She smiled shyly. I just want to squish her chubby cheeks.<br /> "How about you two get to know each other and I'll come when is dinner time." Edward said.<br /> "Daddy you won't play with us?" Sofia said with a pout. Aww.<br /> "No princess. I need to work but I will come for the dinner, okay?"<br /> "Okay."<br /> "Princess maybe you should go to your room and prepare toys while I talk to Anna about something."<br /> She nodded and ran off upstairs. She seems really active kid since she has a speed for running that fast. I lifted myself and turned to look at him.<br /> "While I'm gone, I don't want any problem to occur. Dinner time is around 7 o'clock and I'll be here by then."<br /> "Okay." I say.<br /> "Better." He went upstairs and I followed him as I remebered that Sofia is waiting for me. He pointed to the door on the left and I nodded. The doors were open and I saw Sofia already on the chair with tea cups on it.<br /> I sat at the floor and criss crossed my legs.<br /> "We are having a tea party." She giggled.<br /> "May I ask if you would pour me some tea, princess?" I acted the same as her which seemed to excite her.<br /> She poured invisible tea in the white princess cup in front of me. I acted as I was drinking it on which she giggled. She is really bubbly kid and always happy as I see.<br /> "The tea is really delicious, my princess."<br /> "There is actually no tea, mommy." She giggled but once she realized what she said she covered her mouth with her small hand. I got some really happy feeling inside me when she called me mommy.<br /> "I'm sorry for calling you mommy."<br /> "Why are you sorry?" I ask confused.<br /> "Daddy told me to not call you mommy yet."<br /> "Daddy huh?" I say annoyed. This idiot. She nodded her head.<br /> "Sofia, do you want me to be your mommy?" I ask her softly. She again nodded her head causing her braids to bounce.<br /> "Then I'm your mommy and you can call me like that." I smiled.<br /> She squealed and jumped in my arms. I catched her and hugged her tightly. She is so innocent and fragile little girl. I just can't say anything that will hurt her.<br /> "Thank you mommy." She smiled and her eyes sparkled.<br /> "Thank you too for accepting me." She put big wet peck on my cheek.<br /> "You are the prettiest mommy ever." She said.<br /> "Thank you." I pecked her forehead and got up. I lifted her up and sat her on my hip.<br /> "Do you want to show mommy the kitchen?" She nodded her head.<br /> I exited the room with her in my arms and she pointed to the stairs. I climbed downstairs and she pointed to the right. There was a big open kitchen with huge island. I saw her high chair and put her inside.<br /> "Do you want me to bake cookies?" I ask her.<br /> ''You know how to bake?" She widened her eyes as she couldn't believe what I just said.<br /> "Of course I know." I said proud of myself.<br /> "That's is so cool mommy. Can I help you?"<br /> "Sure, but I need to take the ingredients first, okay?" She nodded her head in anticipation.<br /> I searched through every cupboard until I found everything I needed. I took her out of her chair and put her on the island carefully. We were making cookie dough together and all I can say about her is that she is really precious.<br /> After cookies were done, I put them in a plate. I wondered who is making dinner when there is nobody in the house then some older woman I now know as Mary entered the house.<br /> She introduced herself as Sofia's nanny and a cook in this house. She was happy when I introduced myself as Edward's fiancee even if I'm not so happy. I took Sofia to the living room and played some cartoons on the TV until dinner was ready.<br /> She was sitting in my lap leaned on my chest when I heard the door opening. I turned around to see Edward with some suitcase in his hand. He looked over to us, loosening his tie.<br /> "Hello princess." He smiled at her and picked her up.<br /> "Hi daddy."<br /> "Were you good today?"<br /> "I was. Me and mommy were playing then we baked cookies."<br /> He looked over at me with furrowed eyebrows. I raised my eyebrow at him but he brushed it off and turned to look at Sofia.<br /> "That's great. You need to wash your hands now then we are going to eat a dinner, okay?" She nodded her head and he pecked her cheek then put her down.<br /> After she runned to the bathroom, he looked at me in confusion.<br /> "What?" I ask annoyed.<br /> ''I told her to call me mommy after a certain person said no."<br /> "I just thought you would be uncomfortable with it."<br /> "I'm not." Sofia came back and pulled my hand towards the dinning room.<br /> There were three plates set up with different food on a table. I sat next to the Edward and Sofia sat next to me. I cut her food in small pieces so she could chew easily. I noticed that Edward was staring at me but ignored it.<br /> "Daddy can mommy stay for tonight, please?" She made puppy eyes.<br /> "If she wants to." He shrugged.<br /> "Will you mommy?"<br /> "I can stay." I couldn't say no to this cute face so I accepted.<br /> She squealed and hugged me. I'm actually proud that I can be a mother to such cute and kind little girl. She really can lighten everyone's mood quickly.<br /> Sofia was sleepy so we put her in a bed and Edward led me to the guest room. He told me he would bring his shirt for me to sleep in because he doesn't have any woman's clothes.<br /> I laid in a bed after I changed myself. This was really excited day. I actually became Sofia's mom and I like it. His shirt smells nice and just lures me to sleep. And that's exactly what I did.<br /> <br /> ''Mommy, I miss you. When will you come?'' Sofia whined on the other side of a phone.<br /> ''Aww, I miss you too baby. I'll come this afternoon.''<br /> ''Yayy. I can't wait to see you mommy.''<br /> ''Me too princess.'' I smiled.<br /> The bell rang for the end of a lunch.<br /> ''Baby, mommy needs to go.''<br /> ''Okay mommy. Bye.'' She made a peck sound as she hung down the phone.<br /> I put my phone in a pocket and looked over to the girls. They were smirking at me.<br /> ''You turned into a mother material in just two weeks.'' Kelly said.<br /> ''You should see her. She is so cute and adorable.'' I say.<br /> ''She is already calling you mommy?'' Milla asked.<br /> ''At first Edward told her not to but I saw that she was sad about it so I let her.'' I shrugg.<br /> We got in a classroom and I sat with Jennifer. I was thinking about Edward and our relationship. I know that we don't love each other and all that, but to ly talk? Like about some imporatant stuff or just as friends.<br /> He is never home when I come to see Sofia and when we see each other it's usually just ''hi'' or ''bye''. Not even the worst enemies talk so little.<br /> I was thinking about all of this until I needed to go to Sofia. I learned that her favourite snacks are gummy bears so I bought them on my way there.<br /> I came in the house and didn't bother to knock on it. Sofia probably heard me entering when she rushed to the stairs but fell on a floor.<br /> I rushed to her and picked her up.<br /> ''Baby are you okay?''<br /> ''I'm okay mommy.'' She giggled and pecked my cheek. A wave of relief passed through me.<br /> ''Are you sure? Does anything hurt you?''<br /> ''I'm fine.''<br /> ''Okay. Did Mary bath you?''<br /> ''Not yet.'' She shook her head.<br /> ''Alright then. Mommy will give you a bath.'' I pecked her cheek and went in her room.<br /> I took pink panties for her and blue onesie. I took her in a bathroom and started the warm water. I put mix for bubble bath which made her squeal in happiness.<br /> When the water was ready, I undressed her and put her in the tub. She seemed to enjoy it a lot. I washed her hair and body then let her play with her toys for a while.<br /> I took her out of the bathtub and dried her off. When I finished, I put her on my hip and went downstairs to eat something.<br /> ''Did you like the bath?'' I ask her putting her in her high chair.<br /> ''Yeah mommy. You make the best baths ever.'' She smiled.<br /> ''I will always do them just for you.''<br /> I made us toast then gave her gummy bears I bought. She was so happy about it and she was going to eat whole bag if I didn't stop her.<br /> Sofia wanted me to hold her and I could tell she was sleepy. I took her in my arms and she immediately wrapped her tiny arms around my neck. I was keeping her bottom and started rocking her slowly.<br /> I could tell she was out when I heard her breath even. Suddenly bell on the front door rang. I opened door in confusion to see some older woman in very tight clothes.<br /> ''Hello. Who do you need?''<br /> ''I came to see my daughter.'' I cringed on her voice.<br /> ''I'm sorry. You must mistook something.''<br /> ''I didn't mistake anything. I came to see my daughter Sofia.'' She acted stubborn.<br /> ''I repeat again that you mistook something, because I'm Sofia's mother.'' I was already annoyed with her arrival.<br /> ''I gave birth to her. That means I'm her mother.''<br /> ''No you are not her mother or you'll ever be.'' I heard familiar voice behind her.<br /> Edward came next to me and wrapped his arm around me. I felt Sofia started moving around so stroked her back to put her back to sleep.<br /> ''I don't want to see you ever again, in front of my daughter or my fiancee.'' He said protectively tightening his hand on my stomach.<br /> ''Fiancee? This bimbo is your fiancee?'' She checked me up and down in disgust.<br /> ''I said shut up and get lost bimbo.'' He spat and leaned in my touch as it would calm him down.<br /> ''You'll see what was going to happen.'' She threatened and turned around then left.<br /> ''Mommy?'' I heard Sofia's sleepy voice. Jeez, this woman just awoken my daughter with her awful voice.

His son, Matthew, will become the new Alpha in a few months. His father and I have agreed that Matthew needs to have a strong mate by his side to lead the pack successfully," Lily's father explained, "And that is not you." <br /> Lily felt as if her whole world had been turned upside down. She didn't know if she wanted to scream or cry. How could they make this decision for her?<br /> "In three days, you will attend the Rejection Ceremony. Then in a week, you will have a mating ceremony with someone more on your level, his brother, Garrett Hunter."<br /> Garrett? Garrett Hunter?? The disfigured, rejected brother of Matthew? How could they force me to reject my fated mate and then mate to his ruthless brother?!<br /> ————————<br /> Lily stared in horror at her father. She couldn't make sense of what he was saying. Why would Matthew reject her? When they talked on the phone all day, he never mentioned it.<br /> "You're joking," Lily said. "You have to be joking." <br /> Her father scowled at her because he disliked repeating himself. He paused for a moment to collect himself before saying, "This is no joke. You will be marrying Garrett Hunter."<br /> When Lily heard her father say those words, her heart sank. "I am his fated mate. We're meant to be together. Why would he want to reject me? There must be a mistake!"<br /> "Lily, you're an omega. No respectable Alpha would want you as their Luna. We're saving you the agony of having to deal with your mate having a mistress," her mother explained, "and it's not like you won't have a mate."<br /> "It's what you deserve, Lily. Garrett is perfect for you," Brandy said smugly. <br /> Garrett? Garrett Hunter?? The disfigured, rejected brother of Matthew? This had to be some sort of joke. They couldn't possibly be serious. But her parents were not laughing.<br /> Lily slid her seat back and stood up. She ran back to her room, slamming the door behind her. Brandy stood up to bring her back downstairs, but her mother stopped her.<br /> "Leave her alone. There is nowhere she can go. This is something she must accept," her mother stated.<br /> "Pick up the phone, Matthew. Come on!" Lily murmured as she dialed his number for the tenth time. It just rang again and again until it went to voicemail. Lily didn't bother leaving another voicemail because she had already left five.<br /> Lily sighed in frustration and tossed her phone to the floor before pacing the room. Why would her parents subject her to such cruelty? Wasn't it enough that they treated her like trash because she was an omega? But now they were going to take this away from her as well?!<br /> Lily nearly crashed into the wall to get to her phone when it buzzed on the bed. Her heart sank again when she realized it was Tiffany, not Matthew, calling. Lily answered the phone.<br /> "Hey girlie! It has been hours. What was the dinner about? Are you..." Tiffany started.<br /> Lily interjected and said, "Can I come over? I can't stay here. Please say yes."<br /> Hearing her tone, Tiffany became serious and asked, "What's wrong? Your sister is bothering you again?"<br /> "No. It's much worse. Please tell me I can come over," Lily pleaded.<br /> "Yes, you can come. I am not leaving for my parents' until tomorrow. Where are you? I can come to get you," Tiffany offered.<br /> "No. I will come to you," Lily said, "Thank you." She quickly hung up the phone. Lily went to her closet and grabbed an overnight bag. She yanked her dress off and changed into a t-shirt and workout pants.<br /> Lily then began packing items she didn't want to lose and enough clothes to get her through the holidays. She had no intention of coming back here.<br /> The door to her bedroom swung open, causing Lily to jump. She turned to see Mira, one of the omegas working in the kitchen. Mira placed her finger on her lips before she slowly closed the door behind her.<br /> "They told you," Mira said. It was more of a statement than a question. It made Lily sick to her stomach. Everyone had been smiling in her face. Did everyone but her know? It was humiliating that this was kept from her. "I was commanded not to tell you. I really wanted to."<br /> "It's fine, Mira. I know you wouldn't betray me," Lily responded. It would be physically impossible for Mira to go against a command. Perhaps if she were a Gamma or even a Beta, but as an Omega, the pain of it would have killed her wolf, which would've killed her.<br /> "I won't let them force me," Lily declared. "I can't let them take one of the only things that have made me happy."<br /> Mira and Lily grew very close growing up. As they were both omegas and Lily was excluded from high-ranking wolf activities, she spent most of her time with Mira. Mira's father, the pack doctor, was the reason she wanted to become a doctor in the first place.<br /> "Then, let me help you," Mira said, "I can get you out of here. They planned to leave you alone for the rest of the weekend."<br /> "You can't. If they find out..."<br /> "They'll assume I helped you even if I didn't. I'll be beaten no matter what, but I won't die," Mira countered, interrupting her. "Dad is already outside with a car to take you wherever you want to go."<br /> Lily hugged Mira tightly. Mira smiled slightly, wanting to go with her, but she was bound to the pack grounds. Leaving or even going rogue would harm her father's position in the pack. She couldn't risk it.<br /> "Thank you, Mira," Lily said.<br /> Tiffany opened her front door to see Lily standing like a beat dog in her doorway. Lily waved to the car that drove away. Tiffany pulled her into her home and quickly closed the door. Lily immediately began sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> "Lily, what's going on? What happened?" Tiffany asked, leading her to the sofa. She had already prepared Lily's favorite meal as well as hot cocoa.<br /> "They are trying to force me into a rejection ceremony," Lily managed to say.<br /> "What? Why? They can't do that. It'd be spitting in the Goddess' face. You could end up cursed or worse," Tiffany exclaimed.<br /> "They don't care. They don't think I'd be a fit for him because I'm an omega," Lily stated.<br /> "That's not up to them. That's up to the Goddess, and the Goddess wants you and Matthew to be together," Tiffany stated.<br /> "They don't see it that way. They..." Lily stopped in mid sentence as a horrible pain gripped her chest. She gasped as she clutched her chest and tried to slow her breathing.<br /> "Lily? Is it one of your panic attacks?" Tiffany asked.<br /> Lily could only nod, unable to speak as she concentrated on breathing as the pain radiated through her. She suffered from panic attacks for a long time. Lily assumed it was because of stress. It would eventually fade, thanks to Dina's assistance.<br /> Lily gasped in relief as the pain began to fade, and she said, "I'm okay now."<br /> "You need to speak with Matthew. You two can elope, and they won't be able to do anything about it,"<br /> "Elope?"<br /> --<br /> "Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?" Tiffany asked as she walked Lily out of her apartment. She didn't want to leave her in such a terrible situation.<br /> "No, I need to do this alone," Lily answered with a weak smile. She couldn't get in contact with Matthew all night. Lily needed to speak with him. Whatever happened between her and Matthew, she would have to deal with it alone. Lily didn't want to get her too caught up in her family drama.<br /> "Well, you know where my spare key is," Tiffany said.<br /> "Don't worry about me. I'll be okay. Matthew and I will elope, and everything will be fine," Lily said.<br /> Tiffany smiled slightly, but Lily noticed that her eyes looked somewhat sad. She had known Tiffany long enough to know that she was holding back. Before Lily could ask Tiffany what she was thinking, Lily's cab arrived.<br /> Tiffany hugged her again and said, "Keep me updated. You know my parents will accept you with open arms. They said the offer is still open if you want to join my pack."<br /> Lily nodded and got into the cab. She waved goodbye before telling the cab driver, "10 Armstead Place." The cab driver nodded and drove off.<br /> The drive didn't take long. All the while, she could feel a stabbing pain in her chance. It was another anxiety attack. She had never felt so bad before.<br /> "Ma'am, are you okay?" the cab driver asked, noticing her distress.<br /> "Yes, I am fine. Thank you," Lily answered. "Just having a little panic attack, I think."<br /> 'It's the stress,' Dina said to her. 'I am doing everything I can to dull it. I can't reach Baldur. I don't know why he isn't responding to me. Do you think our father or maybe his father did something?'<br /> Baldur was Matthew's wolf. He was as happy as Dina when they learned that they were mates. As much as Lily and Matthew talked on the phone, Dina and Baldur communicated more telepathically.<br /> 'It could be. I can't believe it. I don't want to believe that Matthew would agree to this. Maybe he is cutting off all communication because he doesn't want anyone to find him. No one knows about his apartment in the city,' Lily responded.<br /> The city was a neutral zone for all supernatural creatures. Pack hierarchy or mutual dislike of different races wasn't tolerated here. The elders made it a point that all supernatural children grew up aware of others to squash any ignorance. It was a good idea in theory, but many outside factors were at play. People couldn't help but judge one another.<br /> "We're here," the cab driver said, bringing Lily out of her thoughts. She pulled out $40 from her wallet and said, "Keep the change." She got out of the car and rushed up the steps to Matthew's apartment.<br /> Lily had been there more than once over the weekend. Her family never knew when she was home, and she wanted to keep it that way. When it would get bad at home, Matthew was a reprieve for her as Lily didn't want to have to deal with her family any more than she had to.<br /> Lily quickly grabbed the spare key under the mat and opened the door. She stepped into his apartment, and the pain seemed to intensify. Lily gripped her chest and almost fell face-first into the carpet. She used the wall to move further into his apartment.<br /> There was a smell that she couldn't quite place. It made her hackles rise. She felt angry for no reason.<br /> 'Find him now,' Dina growled within her.<br /> 'What's wrong?' Lily asked, but Dina only responded with a growl.<br /> "Oh, Matthew! Pull my hair!"<br /> An all-too-familiar voice broke the silence, and Lily could now hear the slapping of skin. As she approached his bedroom, it became increasingly louder. Lily swallowed hard as she tried to process what she was hearing and what she didn't want to believe was happening. Lily's hand shivered as she was about to place her hand on the door.<br /> 'We must see this,' Dina growled. 'Open the door.'<br /> Lily slowly pushed open the door. There in front of her was Brandy and her sister having intercourse.<br /> The anxiety attacks, the waves of pain were Matthew having intercourse with her.<br /> Lily was almost catatonic as she watched the betrayal before her eyes. This was supposed to be her. She had waited years for him, and here he was having intercourse with this bimbo in front of her.<br /> Lily gripped the side of the door frame, her claws going straight through as she tried to compose herself. The sudden movement caused Matthew to look up. His eyes widened in surprise when he saw her.<br /> "Oh hello, sister. Did you enjoy the show?" Brandy mocked as Lily walked into the room. Lily said nothing as she approached Brandy. With all her might, Lily slapped Brandy hard enough to send her into the headboard.<br /> "You bimbo!" Brandy yelled as she gripped her head in pain. Lily slapped her again before Matthew caught her wrist. She used her other hand to slap Matthew across the face with strength she didn't know she had. Her claws left gashes on the side of his face.<br /> "Lily?!" Matthew exclaimed.<br /> "Don't ever speak to us, you filthy dog," Lily growled out. Her eyes were silver as it was Dina now talking. "All this time, you betrayed us for this bimbo!"<br /> "You have to understand, Lily. I didn't have a choice. I..."<br /> "Enough of your lies! I will go through with the rejection ceremony. We can do it tonight because I want to be rid of you. I'll take whatever curse the Goddess dishes out!" Lily screamed before storming out, leaving the door wide open.<br /> --<br /> "Don't you think that is inappropriate?" Kenneth asked his Luna from the doorway of their bedroom. <br /> "Not at all. It is a joyous occasion," Mandy said as she applied burgundy lipstick and stood up. She brushed the wrinkles out of her blue sweater dress as she looked herself over in the mirror before approaching him with a slight smile. "You should change. That suit is so depressing."<br /> "The suit is proper attire for the custom. You shouldn't take this much glee in her suffering," Kenneth responded, causing Mandy to frown. <br /> Mandy scoffed and said, "Don't try to act like you care about the little brat now. Don't be a hypocrite. You could care less and this arrangement will benefit the both of us."<br /> "At least make it believable in front of the Hunters," Kenneth reasoned. Mandy rolled her eyes. Of course she would behave. What kind of idiot did he take her for?<br /> "Come. You wouldn't want to keep Lily waiting," Mandy said condescendingly. <br /> Again, Kenneth didn't respond and followed Mandy to the entertainment hall. Both packs were in attendance. Both acknowledged their presence, showing their necks to them both. <br /> Alpha Jack and Luna Kelly looked agitated by the entire situation. The Luna of Grey Blood Pack was very against the rejection ceremony. However, she didn't have much say in the situation since both Alphas agreed to it. <br /> "Where is she?" Kenneth asked one of the omegas that were serving spirits. <br /> "She is coming, my Alpha. We are watching her closely. There is no chance she will run away again," the omega answered. <br /> Kenneth nodded and walked to the stage with Jack following behind him. He took a spoon to his spirits glass to get everyone's attention. <br /> "Thank you for joining us here tonight to celebrate the union of two great packs," Kenneth began and turned to Jack, "It is an honor that our packs will be united." <br /> "Yes, we look forward to our unified strength," Jack nodded. <br /> "Lily, Brandy, and Matthew Hunter, please come up here," Kenneth said. <br /> Brandy quickly came to greet her father. Kenneth frowned at her attire as he reluctantly hugged her. She was always scantily clad, even after telling her to dress appropriately for the occasion. <br /> 'Like mother, like daughter,' Kenneth's wolf, Jasper, said before growling in irritation at seeing Matthew. Kenneth had recently learned that Matthew had been sleeping with Brandy behind Lily's back. As a father and a believer of old customs, he wanted to choke him, but it was better this way. At least one of his daughters would be a proper Luna.<br /> 'We should tear his throat out for humiliating Lily,' Jasper growled.<br /> 'Calm down,' Kenneth told him.<br /> 'You're a pathetic father,' Jasper responded before blocking himself from Kenneth like he always did. <br /> After a few minutes, Lily did not show. Kenneth frowned and he spoke over the microphone, "Where is Lily? Bring her here!" He didn't need her defying him in front of both packs. This union had to happen. <br /> "I am here, father!"<br /> Matthew stood on the stage awkwardly. He didn't expect that both packs would be here for this. Matthew assumed that this would be a private affair, but he knew his mother had to have had a hand in this. <br /> Kelly had been horrified and disappointed in Matthew when she discovered that Matthew had been sleeping with Lily's little sister. No one in their line had ever denied the Moon Goddess' will up until now. The only thing that calmed her was that Lily would still marry into the pack. <br /> Matthew didn't really want to be mated with Brandy. He just wanted to have fun before he was forever bound to Lily. However, he understood why his father wanted him to mate Mandy instead. An Alpha had to be seen as strong. A weak Luna was a liability. He could not rule a pack with an omega Luna.<br /> 'It is not the right choice!' Baldur growled within him. 'Why did the Moon Goddess curse me to be bonded to you until death? She is meant for us! You know it!'<br /> 'There is nothing we can do now. It is done,' Matthew responded.<br /> 'You fool. You're going to regret this.' Baldur warned before Matthew suppressed him again like he always did when he didn't want to hear what he had to say. <br /> After Kenneth and his father Jack's speech, there was a pause as they waited for Lily to appear. She had not shown up, which infuriated Kenneth. As he demanded to know where Lily was, her voice rang out. <br /> "I am here, father!"<br /> Lily emerged from the crowd, taking Matthew's breath away. There were murmurs from the crowd as they watched Lily. She wore a simple form-fitting strapless white dress with an overlay of lace. Her hair was pulled up in a bun, and a white veil covered her face. Lily wore her wedding dress to the rejection ceremony. <br /> When she got to the stage, she hugged her father, ignored Mandy, and curtsied to Alpha Jack and Luna Kelly before taking her position in front of Matthew. Lily kept a calm expression, but Matthew could see the fury in Lily's eyes. <br /> "Lily, I..." Matthew started, but she raised her hand, stopping him. <br /> Lily gave her hand to Jack and nodded to him. Jack smirked. This little female had sass. It was a shame that she was not an Alpha. Jack took the ceremonial blade and cut her palm. Matthew gave his hand to Kenneth, and he cut Matthew's hand. <br /> "I... I..." Matthew stammered. He found that he could not bring himself to say the words. Everything in him told him it was wrong. "Father, I can't. I..."<br /> "I, Lily Bray, the first-born daughter of Alpha Kenneth Bray, and my wolf, Dina, reject you, Matthew Hunter, the first-born son of Kenneth Hunter, and your wolf Baldur for your betrayal of our mate bond with my sister, Brandy," Lily said firmly as she grabbed Matthew's hand. "Do you accept?"<br /> There were gasps and murmurs from the audience, as no female in history has willingly rejected their mate. It was such a scandalous affair as both sets of parents wanted to keep it hushed that Matthew had been cheating, which was partly why the rejection ceremony was happening. <br /> Lily wasn't having any of it. They wanted to embarrass her publicly, so she wanted everyone to know the truth.<br /> "I... Matthew Hunter, the first-born son of Kenneth Hunter...accept your rejection," Matthew managed to say. As soon as the words left his mouth, he could feel their mate bond fully snap. Baldur howled in anguish within him as his bond with Dina snapped away even though he refused to accept the rejection. <br /> Lily fought the urge to collapse there on the stage. She welcomed the pain, embraced it as this was nothing compared to the anguish she felt over the betrayal. "I wish Matthew and Brandy well with their upcoming mating ceremony," Lily finally said. She turned to leave but was stopped by Brandy's grip on her wrist. <br /> "We accept your blessings dear sister. We hope to see you at our mating ceremony as I won't be able to go through with it if you aren't there by my side," Brandy said with a smug smile, wanting to see Lily lose her composure. <br /> Lily resisted the urge to scream at Brandy and punch her in the face. She kept her face calm and relaxed despite an eye twitch. Lily pulled her wrist free before grabbing her hand with her bloodied hand. <br /> Lily looked deep into Brandy's eyes trying to convey the hatred and anger she felt for her through her eyes. It didn't go unnoticed that Brandy stepped back due to the intensity of Lily's gaze. "Of course, Brandy. I wouldn't miss it for the world," Lily answered before removing her hand from hers. With another curtsy, Lily left the entertainment hall. She didn't collapse into tears until she reached her bedroom.<br /> "Dad! You can't be serious!" Lily exclaimed as she was dragged down the hallway by her father. <br /> After the rejection ceremony, Lily stayed in her room to mourn the loss of her mating bond for two days. She prayed and begged the Moon Goddess for forgiveness. Lily never wanted to do this, but she didn't have a choice. She couldn't be tied to an unfaithful mate for the rest of her life. <br /> On the second night, her father, Kenneth, kicked the door in to drag her out. Because Garrett didn't attend the rejection ceremony, Kenneth was bent on Lily being bonded to Garrett immediately. <br /> After receiving a phone call that Garrett was back from a business trip and was staying at the Blueberry Suites, Kenneth knew that he had to get Lily to him. He forced her to go to the pack doctor to have every test done to show that she was still pure and genetically tested to show she had no defects before getting her ready to go to the hotel. <br /> "You shut up!" Kenneth exclaimed. "Do you know how your little stunt made us seem to the other packs?"<br /> "You look powerful and smart, right? That's what you wanted!" Lily snapped back and Kenneth slapped her. <br /> "You embarrassed us! You wore your wedding dress. You were supposed to be the regretful mate, not an over zealous harlot!" Kenneth raged. <br /> "Harlot? I'm the harlot? Of course, you wouldn't talk bad about your dear daughter Brandy," Lily retorted. <br /> Kenneth slapped her again and Lily growled in warning at him. "Don't you dare! You're not stupid. You should have known better. No Alpha will want an Omega. Because of your antics, Brandy can't even use your dress. By ensuring your bond to Garrett, Alpha Jack promises to pay for everything," Kenneth retorted. <br /> "What about what I want? You got what you wanted! Brandy will be Matthew's Luna! Why must you do this to me? You could disown me. You could expel me from the pack!" Lily asked as she was brought to a door. She should've taken her friend up on her offer to go out of state with her for the holidays. Perhaps she would've been able to avoid all of this.<br /> "You made your decisions and I have made mine. Maybe if you hadn't tried to keep your money from me, this wouldn't be happening. Your little stunt didn't work," Kenneth sneered. <br /> "No! That money doesn't belong to you! I worked so hard..." <br /> "You have no say! You only received privileges because you are my daughter. You hold no value. You are a tool and nothing else. The quicker you understand that, the better off you'll be!" Kenneth snapped, cutting Lily off. He pried the jacket off his daughter, revealing her attire: a silky white camisole. "Hopefully, he'll teach you how to behave and know your place in the world."<br /> For the first time in her life, she wanted to physically harm her father. Lily wanted to shift and maul her father, but she was still too weak from the broken mate bond. She was helpless as Kenneth opened the door to the room and shoved her inside, causing her to fall hard on her butt. Her father slammed the door in her face, locking it behind him. <br /> Lily beat on the door when she realized she couldn't open it. 'Calm down Lily. Let's see if there is another way we can get out,' Dina said. Lily nodded and began to explore the room.<br /> The room was decorated with honey hues, for they gave a sense of home away from home, of a place of nurturing safety. However, Lily didn't feel safe at all. She felt like her whole world had been turned upside down. <br /> Tonight was her engagement night as her father explained it. It was more like she was being offered up on a silver platter to a predator.<br /> When she realized the windows were locked and couldn't break them, Lily quickly turned the lights off and sat down on the bed. The room was now pitch black and eerily quiet. The only sound that could be heard was the fan that was hiding Lily's rapid breathing. Lily lay stiffly on the bed, feeling like her body was under a spell. She was unable to move. <br /> Lily heard the door opening, and light entered the room, blinding her for a moment. She closed her eyes in fright, afraid of what would happen next.

Although other people in the pack often bully me, if Calvin is around, I can persevere. On that day, Calvin's birthday, I found out that he had an affair with my sister, and I decided to leave the pack. Just as I was about to leave, Alpha King came to our pack, and he captured everyone.<br /> "You want her? She's a human!"<br /> The king released a roar that made every member of the pack flinch and drop their heads lower in submission. With my face only a few inches from the ground, I watched with terror as the king moved away from me and stood before my biggest bully Kate. <br /> The greater distance between us allowed me to see more of him. He was larger than the other Lycans, his body covered in knotted scars that were visible beneath his fur.<br /> His claw was the size of Kate's head as he punched it through her ch#st, ripping her heart out the other side and sending the pack into a flurry of sobs and terrified mumblings for mercy.<br /> "You will do well to teach your pack to respect those above them." The witch's voice called out again, but I was trapped staring at Kate's body as the king pulled his hand out, and it fell to the ground.<br /> I was aware of him walking back to me, but I couldn’t take my eyes away. It was the large hand that grabbed me by my backpack and lifted me off the ground like a doll that brought me back to reality, and I instinctively met the glowing red eyes of the Lycan King.<br /> His deep voice sent a chill through me as he spoke, "Mine."<br /> ---<br /> Janet's P.O.V.<br /> <br /> I felt uneasy as soon as I entered the pack house. The way my pack mates were smirking at me, laughing behind their hands... I knew they were up to something. Their pranks and bullying had been getting worse and more painful each time they managed to get me alone. My bruises still hadn't gone away from the last time.<br /> <br /> My body ached from the beating I had taken two days ago, but I was only a few hours away from it all ending.<br /> <br /> I just needed to get to Calvin before they set their plan into motion.<br /> <br /> Calvin was my boyfriend of four years. He was the only one that cared for me, and the only one I could trust.<br /> <br /> We were high school sweethearts. He was also the next in line to become the Alpha of our pack. That didn't matter to me, but it did matter to the other women in the pack. They hated that he was with me. They felt that they deserved a stronger Luna than I would be, and they all wanted to be his chosen one.<br /> <br /> I hadn't even shifted yet. To them, I was no more than an omega...a runt as they liked to call me, the weakest of the litter.<br /> <br /> It should have happened three years ago when I turned sixteen, but it didn't. Now I was nineteen, the age at which we could recognize our mates as our wolves should have matured by then. Had I shifted, I would have known Calvin was my mate already, but we had to wait the extra two months until today, his nineteenth birthday, for him to recognize me as his mate.<br /> <br /> Calvin didn't care that I hadn't turned. We had been together since before either of us were old enough to shift, and we were both positive that we were mates. He stood by me and protected me from the cruelty of the wolves around us when I failed to shift with the others.<br /> <br /> 'Calvin? Where are you?' I asked through our pack link but received no response.<br /> <br /> "Poor little human, you have a lot of guts to show up here right now. Do you have any idea how happy the pack is? Having you here will just ruin it. This party is for pack wolves only." Kate, my sister's best friend, said as the crowd parted for her, and the music stopped. All of the party guests stopped dancing and talking to watch as the biggest bully in the pack approached me.<br /> <br /> The flashing lights of varying colors continued in the uncomfortable silence.<br /> <br /> I hoped the man of the hour would see the disruption and step forward to my side, but he didn't. As I glanced around at all of the amused faces, he was nowhere to be seen.<br /> <br /> "Calvin invited me. I am in this pack, and I'm allowed to be here." I whispered, but I could feel the heat building in the back of my eyes as they all laughed again. Something was going on, and it was more than just Kate running her big mouth.<br /> <br /> "Even he doesn't want you here." She sneered before smiling at me widely. "See for yourself. Where is Calvin, hm? I think he went up to his room. You should go bring him back down to the party and see what he has to say."<br /> <br /> I held his present against my chest tighter as I narrowed my eyes. She was up to something, but I wanted to get to Calvin more than I wanted to deal with her b##lsh!t.<br /> <br /> As I took a step forward, Kate stepped to the side, and I could feel everyone watching me with amusement as I went up the stairs.<br /> <br /> Calvin's room was at the end of the hall behind double doors, and I rushed toward it. I could hear people coming up the stairs behind me, no doubt being led by Kate, but my salvation was only a few feet away.<br /> <br /> As soon as I got in his room, I could close the door and act as if none of them existed.<br /> <br /> It would just be the two of us.<br /> <br /> There was a stirring in the back of my mind as I wrapped my hand around the cold doorknob. It was a warning, telling me not to go inside. It wanted me to turn around and run, knowing this was a trap. Yet, I turned the knob anyway and pushed the door open.<br /> <br /> The loud moan of the female beneath my boyfriend made me freeze, and I stared wide-eyed at the couple tangled together. <br /> <br /> Calvin thr#st into her quickly, releasing his own groans of pleasure.<br /> <br /> My stomach tied in a knot, and it felt hard to breathe. The small spark of light in my life was extinguished, sending my mind into complete darkness as I processed what I was seeing.<br /> <br /> He lifted his head, meeting my tear-streaked face, but not seeing me as his wolf was in control. His canines extended just before he latched onto her neck, puncturing the skin and marking her as his mate.<br /> <br /> My sister.<br /> <br /> "No," I whispered as my hand covered my mouth. Calvin pulled back snarling at the disruption.<br /> <br /> "I told you he didn't want you," Kate whispered into my ear, and my sister laughed from beneath my boyfriend as she reached up and ran her hand through Calvin's short blonde hair.<br /> <br /> "Would you mind closing the door, Janet?" Kelly asked innocently, but the malicious look in her narrowed eyes showed she was pleased by her victory over me. Not only had she stolen the love of my life, but she was now to be his Luna. "I'm trying to have a private moment with my mate."<br /> <br /> Mate.<br /> <br /> The word seemed so empty now. Calvin had hated Kelly. He had watched how mean she was toward me and resented her. Now, he was baring his teeth at me, defending her.<br /> <br /> "How could you?" I choked out as a sob wracked through my ch#st, and the present in my hold dropped to the floor before me. The sudden and loud noise seemed to snap Calvin back into control, and his eyes returned to their normal brown.<br /> <br /> His jaw dropped open as he glanced from me to my sister with guilt, but he didn't look the least bit regretful. He was happy to have found and marked his mate, he only hated that he had been caught cheating. The torn look on his face only made me angrier as he gasped my name while he pulled out of my sister. She sat up as he climbed to his feet, neither of them ashamed to be seen n@#ed.<br /> <br /> "Janet, I…" He said, stepping forward and causing me to take a step away, only to be pushed back toward him by the crowd of on-lookers.<br /> <br /> I stumbled forward, trying to stay as far away from him as possible.<br /> <br /> The steady stream of tears blurred my vision, and my ch#st hurt as he whispered my name again. "Janet…She’s, my mate." He finally announced, causing the house to cheer in celebration that their future Luna had been claimed.

His son, Matthew, will become the new Alpha in a few months. His father and I have agreed that Matthew needs to have a strong mate by his side to lead the pack successfully," Lily's father explained, "And that is not you." <br /> Lily felt as if her whole world had been turned upside down. She didn't know if she wanted to scream or cry. How could they make this decision for her?<br /> "In three days, you will attend the Rejection Ceremony. Then in a week, you will have a mating ceremony with someone more on your level, his brother, Garrett Hunter."<br /> Garrett? Garrett Hunter?? The disfigured, rejected brother of Matthew? How could they force me to reject my fated mate and then mate to his ruthless brother?!<br /> ————————<br /> Lily stared in horror at her father. She couldn't make sense of what he was saying. Why would Matthew reject her? When they talked on the phone all day, he never mentioned it.<br /> "You're joking," Lily said. "You have to be joking." <br /> Her father scowled at her because he disliked repeating himself. He paused for a moment to collect himself before saying, "This is no joke. You will be marrying Garrett Hunter."<br /> When Lily heard her father say those words, her heart sank. "I am his fated mate. We're meant to be together. Why would he want to reject me? There must be a mistake!"<br /> "Lily, you're an omega. No respectable Alpha would want you as their Luna. We're saving you the agony of having to deal with your mate having a mistress," her mother explained, "and it's not like you won't have a mate."<br /> "It's what you deserve, Lily. Garrett is perfect for you," Brandy said smugly. <br /> Garrett? Garrett Hunter?? The disfigured, rejected brother of Matthew? This had to be some sort of joke. They couldn't possibly be serious. But her parents were not laughing.<br /> Lily slid her seat back and stood up. She ran back to her room, slamming the door behind her. Brandy stood up to bring her back downstairs, but her mother stopped her.<br /> "Leave her alone. There is nowhere she can go. This is something she must accept," her mother stated.<br /> "Pick up the phone, Matthew. Come on!" Lily murmured as she dialed his number for the tenth time. It just rang again and again until it went to voicemail. Lily didn't bother leaving another voicemail because she had already left five.<br /> Lily sighed in frustration and tossed her phone to the floor before pacing the room. Why would her parents subject her to such cruelty? Wasn't it enough that they treated her like trash because she was an omega? But now they were going to take this away from her as well?!<br /> Lily nearly crashed into the wall to get to her phone when it buzzed on the bed. Her heart sank again when she realized it was Tiffany, not Matthew, calling. Lily answered the phone.<br /> "Hey girlie! It has been hours. What was the dinner about? Are you..." Tiffany started.<br /> Lily interjected and said, "Can I come over? I can't stay here. Please say yes."<br /> Hearing her tone, Tiffany became serious and asked, "What's wrong? Your sister is bothering you again?"<br /> "No. It's much worse. Please tell me I can come over," Lily pleaded.<br /> "Yes, you can come. I am not leaving for my parents' until tomorrow. Where are you? I can come to get you," Tiffany offered.<br /> "No. I will come to you," Lily said, "Thank you." She quickly hung up the phone. Lily went to her closet and grabbed an overnight bag. She yanked her dress off and changed into a t-shirt and workout pants.<br /> Lily then began packing items she didn't want to lose and enough clothes to get her through the holidays. She had no intention of coming back here.<br /> The door to her bedroom swung open, causing Lily to jump. She turned to see Mira, one of the omegas working in the kitchen. Mira placed her finger on her lips before she slowly closed the door behind her.<br /> "They told you," Mira said. It was more of a statement than a question. It made Lily sick to her stomach. Everyone had been smiling in her face. Did everyone but her know? It was humiliating that this was kept from her. "I was commanded not to tell you. I really wanted to."<br /> "It's fine, Mira. I know you wouldn't betray me," Lily responded. It would be physically impossible for Mira to go against a command. Perhaps if she were a Gamma or even a Beta, but as an Omega, the pain of it would have killed her wolf, which would've killed her.<br /> "I won't let them force me," Lily declared. "I can't let them take one of the only things that have made me happy."<br /> Mira and Lily grew very close growing up. As they were both omegas and Lily was excluded from high-ranking wolf activities, she spent most of her time with Mira. Mira's father, the pack doctor, was the reason she wanted to become a doctor in the first place.<br /> "Then, let me help you," Mira said, "I can get you out of here. They planned to leave you alone for the rest of the weekend."<br /> "You can't. If they find out..."<br /> "They'll assume I helped you even if I didn't. I'll be beaten no matter what, but I won't die," Mira countered, interrupting her. "Dad is already outside with a car to take you wherever you want to go."<br /> Lily hugged Mira tightly. Mira smiled slightly, wanting to go with her, but she was bound to the pack grounds. Leaving or even going rogue would harm her father's position in the pack. She couldn't risk it.<br /> "Thank you, Mira," Lily said.<br /> Tiffany opened her front door to see Lily standing like a beat dog in her doorway. Lily waved to the car that drove away. Tiffany pulled her into her home and quickly closed the door. Lily immediately began sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> "Lily, what's going on? What happened?" Tiffany asked, leading her to the sofa. She had already prepared Lily's favorite meal as well as hot cocoa.<br /> "They are trying to force me into a rejection ceremony," Lily managed to say.<br /> "What? Why? They can't do that. It'd be spitting in the Goddess' face. You could end up cursed or worse," Tiffany exclaimed.<br /> "They don't care. They don't think I'd be a fit for him because I'm an omega," Lily stated.<br /> "That's not up to them. That's up to the Goddess, and the Goddess wants you and Matthew to be together," Tiffany stated.<br /> "They don't see it that way. They..." Lily stopped in mid sentence as a horrible pain gripped her chest. She gasped as she clutched her chest and tried to slow her breathing.<br /> "Lily? Is it one of your panic attacks?" Tiffany asked.<br /> Lily could only nod, unable to speak as she concentrated on breathing as the pain radiated through her. She suffered from panic attacks for a long time. Lily assumed it was because of stress. It would eventually fade, thanks to Dina's assistance.<br /> Lily gasped in relief as the pain began to fade, and she said, "I'm okay now."<br /> "You need to speak with Matthew. You two can elope, and they won't be able to do anything about it,"<br /> "Elope?"<br /> --<br /> "Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?" Tiffany asked as she walked Lily out of her apartment. She didn't want to leave her in such a terrible situation.<br /> "No, I need to do this alone," Lily answered with a weak smile. She couldn't get in contact with Matthew all night. Lily needed to speak with him. Whatever happened between her and Matthew, she would have to deal with it alone. Lily didn't want to get her too caught up in her family drama.<br /> "Well, you know where my spare key is," Tiffany said.<br /> "Don't worry about me. I'll be okay. Matthew and I will elope, and everything will be fine," Lily said.<br /> Tiffany smiled slightly, but Lily noticed that her eyes looked somewhat sad. She had known Tiffany long enough to know that she was holding back. Before Lily could ask Tiffany what she was thinking, Lily's cab arrived.<br /> Tiffany hugged her again and said, "Keep me updated. You know my parents will accept you with open arms. They said the offer is still open if you want to join my pack."<br /> Lily nodded and got into the cab. She waved goodbye before telling the cab driver, "10 Armstead Place." The cab driver nodded and drove off.<br /> The drive didn't take long. All the while, she could feel a stabbing pain in her chance. It was another anxiety attack. She had never felt so bad before.<br /> "Ma'am, are you okay?" the cab driver asked, noticing her distress.<br /> "Yes, I am fine. Thank you," Lily answered. "Just having a little panic attack, I think."<br /> 'It's the stress,' Dina said to her. 'I am doing everything I can to dull it. I can't reach Baldur. I don't know why he isn't responding to me. Do you think our father or maybe his father did something?'<br /> Baldur was Matthew's wolf. He was as happy as Dina when they learned that they were mates. As much as Lily and Matthew talked on the phone, Dina and Baldur communicated more telepathically.<br /> 'It could be. I can't believe it. I don't want to believe that Matthew would agree to this. Maybe he is cutting off all communication because he doesn't want anyone to find him. No one knows about his apartment in the city,' Lily responded.<br /> The city was a neutral zone for all supernatural creatures. Pack hierarchy or mutual dislike of different races wasn't tolerated here. The elders made it a point that all supernatural children grew up aware of others to squash any ignorance. It was a good idea in theory, but many outside factors were at play. People couldn't help but judge one another.<br /> "We're here," the cab driver said, bringing Lily out of her thoughts. She pulled out $40 from her wallet and said, "Keep the change." She got out of the car and rushed up the steps to Matthew's apartment.<br /> Lily had been there more than once over the weekend. Her family never knew when she was home, and she wanted to keep it that way. When it would get bad at home, Matthew was a reprieve for her as Lily didn't want to have to deal with her family any more than she had to.<br /> Lily quickly grabbed the spare key under the mat and opened the door. She stepped into his apartment, and the pain seemed to intensify. Lily gripped her chest and almost fell face-first into the carpet. She used the wall to move further into his apartment.<br /> There was a smell that she couldn't quite place. It made her hackles rise. She felt angry for no reason.<br /> 'Find him now,' Dina growled within her.<br /> 'What's wrong?' Lily asked, but Dina only responded with a growl.<br /> "Oh, Matthew! Pull my hair!"<br /> An all-too-familiar voice broke the silence, and Lily could now hear the slapping of skin. As she approached his bedroom, it became increasingly louder. Lily swallowed hard as she tried to process what she was hearing and what she didn't want to believe was happening. Lily's hand shivered as she was about to place her hand on the door.<br /> 'We must see this,' Dina growled. 'Open the door.'<br /> Lily slowly pushed open the door. There in front of her was Brandy and her sister having intercourse.<br /> The anxiety attacks, the waves of pain were Matthew having intercourse with her.<br /> Lily was almost catatonic as she watched the betrayal before her eyes. This was supposed to be her. She had waited years for him, and here he was having intercourse with this bimbo in front of her.<br /> Lily gripped the side of the door frame, her claws going straight through as she tried to compose herself. The sudden movement caused Matthew to look up. His eyes widened in surprise when he saw her.<br /> "Oh hello, sister. Did you enjoy the show?" Brandy mocked as Lily walked into the room. Lily said nothing as she approached Brandy. With all her might, Lily slapped Brandy hard enough to send her into the headboard.<br /> "You bimbo!" Brandy yelled as she gripped her head in pain. Lily slapped her again before Matthew caught her wrist. She used her other hand to slap Matthew across the face with strength she didn't know she had. Her claws left gashes on the side of his face.<br /> "Lily?!" Matthew exclaimed.<br /> "Don't ever speak to us, you filthy dog," Lily growled out. Her eyes were silver as it was Dina now talking. "All this time, you betrayed us for this bimbo!"<br /> "You have to understand, Lily. I didn't have a choice. I..."<br /> "Enough of your lies! I will go through with the rejection ceremony. We can do it tonight because I want to be rid of you. I'll take whatever curse the Goddess dishes out!" Lily screamed before storming out, leaving the door wide open.<br /> --<br /> "Don't you think that is inappropriate?" Kenneth asked his Luna from the doorway of their bedroom. <br /> "Not at all. It is a joyous occasion," Mandy said as she applied burgundy lipstick and stood up. She brushed the wrinkles out of her blue sweater dress as she looked herself over in the mirror before approaching him with a slight smile. "You should change. That suit is so depressing."<br /> "The suit is proper attire for the custom. You shouldn't take this much glee in her suffering," Kenneth responded, causing Mandy to frown. <br /> Mandy scoffed and said, "Don't try to act like you care about the little brat now. Don't be a hypocrite. You could care less and this arrangement will benefit the both of us."<br /> "At least make it believable in front of the Hunters," Kenneth reasoned. Mandy rolled her eyes. Of course she would behave. What kind of idiot did he take her for?<br /> "Come. You wouldn't want to keep Lily waiting," Mandy said condescendingly. <br /> Again, Kenneth didn't respond and followed Mandy to the entertainment hall. Both packs were in attendance. Both acknowledged their presence, showing their necks to them both. <br /> Alpha Jack and Luna Kelly looked agitated by the entire situation. The Luna of Grey Blood Pack was very against the rejection ceremony. However, she didn't have much say in the situation since both Alphas agreed to it. <br /> "Where is she?" Kenneth asked one of the omegas that were serving spirits. <br /> "She is coming, my Alpha. We are watching her closely. There is no chance she will run away again," the omega answered. <br /> Kenneth nodded and walked to the stage with Jack following behind him. He took a spoon to his spirits glass to get everyone's attention. <br /> "Thank you for joining us here tonight to celebrate the union of two great packs," Kenneth began and turned to Jack, "It is an honor that our packs will be united." <br /> "Yes, we look forward to our unified strength," Jack nodded. <br /> "Lily, Brandy, and Matthew Hunter, please come up here," Kenneth said. <br /> Brandy quickly came to greet her father. Kenneth frowned at her attire as he reluctantly hugged her. She was always scantily clad, even after telling her to dress appropriately for the occasion. <br /> 'Like mother, like daughter,' Kenneth's wolf, Jasper, said before growling in irritation at seeing Matthew. Kenneth had recently learned that Matthew had been sleeping with Brandy behind Lily's back. As a father and a believer of old customs, he wanted to choke him, but it was better this way. At least one of his daughters would be a proper Luna.<br /> 'We should tear his throat out for humiliating Lily,' Jasper growled.<br /> 'Calm down,' Kenneth told him.<br /> 'You're a pathetic father,' Jasper responded before blocking himself from Kenneth like he always did. <br /> After a few minutes, Lily did not show. Kenneth frowned and he spoke over the microphone, "Where is Lily? Bring her here!" He didn't need her defying him in front of both packs. This union had to happen. <br /> "I am here, father!"<br /> Matthew stood on the stage awkwardly. He didn't expect that both packs would be here for this. Matthew assumed that this would be a private affair, but he knew his mother had to have had a hand in this. <br /> Kelly had been horrified and disappointed in Matthew when she discovered that Matthew had been sleeping with Lily's little sister. No one in their line had ever denied the Moon Goddess' will up until now. The only thing that calmed her was that Lily would still marry into the pack. <br /> Matthew didn't really want to be mated with Brandy. He just wanted to have fun before he was forever bound to Lily. However, he understood why his father wanted him to mate Mandy instead. An Alpha had to be seen as strong. A weak Luna was a liability. He could not rule a pack with an omega Luna.<br /> 'It is not the right choice!' Baldur growled within him. 'Why did the Moon Goddess curse me to be bonded to you until death? She is meant for us! You know it!'<br /> 'There is nothing we can do now. It is done,' Matthew responded.<br /> 'You fool. You're going to regret this.' Baldur warned before Matthew suppressed him again like he always did when he didn't want to hear what he had to say. <br /> After Kenneth and his father Jack's speech, there was a pause as they waited for Lily to appear. She had not shown up, which infuriated Kenneth. As he demanded to know where Lily was, her voice rang out. <br /> "I am here, father!"<br /> Lily emerged from the crowd, taking Matthew's breath away. There were murmurs from the crowd as they watched Lily. She wore a simple form-fitting strapless white dress with an overlay of lace. Her hair was pulled up in a bun, and a white veil covered her face. Lily wore her wedding dress to the rejection ceremony. <br /> When she got to the stage, she hugged her father, ignored Mandy, and curtsied to Alpha Jack and Luna Kelly before taking her position in front of Matthew. Lily kept a calm expression, but Matthew could see the fury in Lily's eyes. <br /> "Lily, I..." Matthew started, but she raised her hand, stopping him. <br /> Lily gave her hand to Jack and nodded to him. Jack smirked. This little female had sass. It was a shame that she was not an Alpha. Jack took the ceremonial blade and cut her palm. Matthew gave his hand to Kenneth, and he cut Matthew's hand. <br /> "I... I..." Matthew stammered. He found that he could not bring himself to say the words. Everything in him told him it was wrong. "Father, I can't. I..."<br /> "I, Lily Bray, the first-born daughter of Alpha Kenneth Bray, and my wolf, Dina, reject you, Matthew Hunter, the first-born son of Kenneth Hunter, and your wolf Baldur for your betrayal of our mate bond with my sister, Brandy," Lily said firmly as she grabbed Matthew's hand. "Do you accept?"<br /> There were gasps and murmurs from the audience, as no female in history has willingly rejected their mate. It was such a scandalous affair as both sets of parents wanted to keep it hushed that Matthew had been cheating, which was partly why the rejection ceremony was happening. <br /> Lily wasn't having any of it. They wanted to embarrass her publicly, so she wanted everyone to know the truth.<br /> "I... Matthew Hunter, the first-born son of Kenneth Hunter...accept your rejection," Matthew managed to say. As soon as the words left his mouth, he could feel their mate bond fully snap. Baldur howled in anguish within him as his bond with Dina snapped away even though he refused to accept the rejection. <br /> Lily fought the urge to collapse there on the stage. She welcomed the pain, embraced it as this was nothing compared to the anguish she felt over the betrayal. "I wish Matthew and Brandy well with their upcoming mating ceremony," Lily finally said. She turned to leave but was stopped by Brandy's grip on her wrist. <br /> "We accept your blessings dear sister. We hope to see you at our mating ceremony as I won't be able to go through with it if you aren't there by my side," Brandy said with a smug smile, wanting to see Lily lose her composure. <br /> Lily resisted the urge to scream at Brandy and punch her in the face. She kept her face calm and relaxed despite an eye twitch. Lily pulled her wrist free before grabbing her hand with her bloodied hand. <br /> Lily looked deep into Brandy's eyes trying to convey the hatred and anger she felt for her through her eyes. It didn't go unnoticed that Brandy stepped back due to the intensity of Lily's gaze. "Of course, Brandy. I wouldn't miss it for the world," Lily answered before removing her hand from hers. With another curtsy, Lily left the entertainment hall. She didn't collapse into tears until she reached her bedroom.<br /> "Dad! You can't be serious!" Lily exclaimed as she was dragged down the hallway by her father. <br /> After the rejection ceremony, Lily stayed in her room to mourn the loss of her mating bond for two days. She prayed and begged the Moon Goddess for forgiveness. Lily never wanted to do this, but she didn't have a choice. She couldn't be tied to an unfaithful mate for the rest of her life. <br /> On the second night, her father, Kenneth, kicked the door in to drag her out. Because Garrett didn't attend the rejection ceremony, Kenneth was bent on Lily being bonded to Garrett immediately. <br /> After receiving a phone call that Garrett was back from a business trip and was staying at the Blueberry Suites, Kenneth knew that he had to get Lily to him. He forced her to go to the pack doctor to have every test done to show that she was still pure and genetically tested to show she had no defects before getting her ready to go to the hotel. <br /> "You shut up!" Kenneth exclaimed. "Do you know how your little stunt made us seem to the other packs?"<br /> "You look powerful and smart, right? That's what you wanted!" Lily snapped back and Kenneth slapped her. <br /> "You embarrassed us! You wore your wedding dress. You were supposed to be the regretful mate, not an over zealous harlot!" Kenneth raged. <br /> "Harlot? I'm the harlot? Of course, you wouldn't talk bad about your dear daughter Brandy," Lily retorted. <br /> Kenneth slapped her again and Lily growled in warning at him. "Don't you dare! You're not stupid. You should have known better. No Alpha will want an Omega. Because of your antics, Brandy can't even use your dress. By ensuring your bond to Garrett, Alpha Jack promises to pay for everything," Kenneth retorted. <br /> "What about what I want? You got what you wanted! Brandy will be Matthew's Luna! Why must you do this to me? You could disown me. You could expel me from the pack!" Lily asked as she was brought to a door. She should've taken her friend up on her offer to go out of state with her for the holidays. Perhaps she would've been able to avoid all of this.<br /> "You made your decisions and I have made mine. Maybe if you hadn't tried to keep your money from me, this wouldn't be happening. Your little stunt didn't work," Kenneth sneered. <br /> "No! That money doesn't belong to you! I worked so hard..." <br /> "You have no say! You only received privileges because you are my daughter. You hold no value. You are a tool and nothing else. The quicker you understand that, the better off you'll be!" Kenneth snapped, cutting Lily off. He pried the jacket off his daughter, revealing her attire: a silky white camisole. "Hopefully, he'll teach you how to behave and know your place in the world."<br /> For the first time in her life, she wanted to physically harm her father. Lily wanted to shift and maul her father, but she was still too weak from the broken mate bond. She was helpless as Kenneth opened the door to the room and shoved her inside, causing her to fall hard on her butt. Her father slammed the door in her face, locking it behind him. <br /> Lily beat on the door when she realized she couldn't open it. 'Calm down Lily. Let's see if there is another way we can get out,' Dina said. Lily nodded and began to explore the room.<br /> The room was decorated with honey hues, for they gave a sense of home away from home, of a place of nurturing safety. However, Lily didn't feel safe at all. She felt like her whole world had been turned upside down. <br /> Tonight was her engagement night as her father explained it. It was more like she was being offered up on a silver platter to a predator.<br /> When she realized the windows were locked and couldn't break them, Lily quickly turned the lights off and sat down on the bed. The room was now pitch black and eerily quiet. The only sound that could be heard was the fan that was hiding Lily's rapid breathing. Lily lay stiffly on the bed, feeling like her body was under a spell. She was unable to move. <br /> Lily heard the door opening, and light entered the room, blinding her for a moment.

I already have the papers drawn up..."<br /> I'm standing there and can't move, clutching the pregnancy test in my hands...<br /> I can't let him know that I know his plans...I need to get out of here.<br /> [A wife always knows. Sign them. Byebye.]<br /> I rub my flat belly. He can afford to wait, but my belly can't.<br /> <br /> ————————<br /> <br /> Im sitting here in shock as i sit here and look at 2 lines happiness and fear is going through me, happiness because im finally pregnant after 4 years of being married to richard and then the fear because he has never mentioned having kids with me and then there is the plan b he makes sure i take after we sleeping.<br /> I worked up enough courage to tell him and show him the pregnancy test and as im about to knock on his home office door i hear him talking in a hush tone. I told you baby im divorcing her I already have the papers drawn up in my desk you just have to give me time to break it to her and how to break it to her, yes baby our dinner plans are still on for tonight ill meet you there, i love you too and ill see you in a little bit.<br /> Im standing there and can't move clutching the pregnancy test in my hands with tears rolling down cheeks and i forced myself to move out of the front of his office door and walk to our bedroom hid the pregnancy test and jump into the shower to hide my tears. I guess I can put the blame on myself i knew who his childhood love is and i hoped that he would fall in love with me and forget about her but it doesn't look like the case and how dumb i feel.<br /> Im standing there under the water letting it hit my face and going over a plan in my head I've already made up my mind while he is gone ill pack up my stuff and sign the divorce papers in his home office then im gone. I was lost in my thoughts and didn't hear Richard get in the shower with me until i felt his arms wrap around me and pull me back into him.<br /> Showering without me are you? I felt so sick by his touch but I can't let him know that I know his plans and I need to get out of here. I went by your office and seen your door shut so I figured you was busy with work and didn't want to bother you, im never to busy for you darling. He turns me around so i will face him his hand is softly stroking my face while he stares at my face like he is taking a mental picture, he smiles then says you know i love you don't you? <br /> I mentally roll my eyes back into my head then smiled and said yes i know and do you know that i love you back? His smile reached his ears yes i do then he stars bussing me ever so passionly and it felt like to me that this will our last time.<br /> He throws me up against the shower wall and hikes one of my legs up to his side, lets make out in the shower its been awhile sense we have done this he said while nibbling on my neck, it has been awhile i said smiling while he slips inside of me. love this round was different we both knew it would be our last time together like this and he is taking his time like he is making a mental video at this moment. He has me pushed up against the wall and my legs are wrapped around his waste, richard im about to, i know darling i am too. <br /> <br /> He sits me down and makes me lean forward and put my hands against the wall then he pounds into me, the bathroom is filled with my moans and his grunts baby do you know how bad your tight little cherry drives me crazy when your getting off? Yes i do and i love that it drives you crazy, he starts stroking harder and faster and i know his release is coming, after he released himself inside of me he grabs me and pulls me close to him while leaving himself inside of me he has never did this before.<br /> He hurried and finished showering and i stay behind to finish up my shower, i came out and looked surprised when i seen him in his suit, going back to the office? Yea i have to finish up some work so ill be late don't wait up for me, you know its hard for me to sleep without you so hurry back as fast as you can and i gave him a warm smile, he walks over to me takes his thumb under my chin to make me look at him then he busses me ever so gently he takes the towel off of me and his hand goes straight to my belly i start to panic does he know? He pulls away and takes a couple steps back and just stares at me if i wouldn't have pulled away we would have went for round 2, so i say giving him a flirty smile after all we are husband and wife, he walks up to me softly stroking my face if i didn't have to be at the office we would definitely go for another round he busses me one more time then looks me in my eyes and says don't forget your plan b pill and don't wait up, i nodd and smile at him and walk over to my night then i hear the bedroom door shut.<br /> I sit on the bed listening to his footsteps fade away, wow he must be in a hurry to get to her because normally he would watch me just to make sure i took it, i walk across the hall and look out the window he is standing there typing on his phone then he slides into the back seat while the driver shuts the door. I grab my iphone log in with his information and read every iMessage between them my heart felt like it was stabbed over and over again he is talking about having kids with her something he has never with me i rub my flat belly don't worry little one mommy will make sure you have the best life i can give you we won't need him.<br /> I walk back to the room pack my things walk to his office to look for the divorce papers, i found them and read through them if i don't give him any trouble i get 50 thousand dollars and his name is already signed so i signed my name and faxed the papers to his lawyer. I laid the divorce papers on top of his desk and added a sticky note on top. A wife always knows and ive already faxed the papers to your lawyer after i signed them take care richard love tessa. I reset my iphone back to factory mode sign in on under his accounts and left the screen on his imessages with laura so that way when he picks it up that will be the first thing he will see and he can't track me if i don't have this phone if he wanted too.<br /> I remember to grab the pregnancy test and the box so i don't leave any evidence behind about my little one he didn't want one anyway at least not with me. I was able to sneak out without the maid seeing me walked down the road a little ways where the cab was waiting for me. I told the cab driver the address and sat back watching out the window I fought hard to keep my tears from falling down my cheeks he doesn't want me then i won't shed no tears for him. I had the cab drop me off at a little hotel where they would let me pay with cash and didn't ask for ID i can hide out here until that money goes into my banking account then i can get it all out and close my account down.<br /> <br /> Richards POV<br /> im stuck with a big dilemma between 2 women that i love except for one knows about the other when the other one don't, laura wants me to divorce tessa and that was the plan until i started having doubts, yes i may have already had the divorce papers drawn up and signed my name but that doesn't mean it's killing me on the inside. The shower love we had earlier was amazing heck every time we sleep its always amazing with tessa who ever thought a shy and quite girl like tessa would be so kinky? She is my type of women in the bed.<br /> I had to get one last look of her undressed body and one last taste of her before i break her heart tomorrow ive made up my mind ive missed laura like crazy while she was away with her dad for 5 years and was over joyed when she let me know that she is moving back I couldn't wait to see her. As twisted as this may sound I haven't touched laura sure we have bussed but out of respect for tessa thats all that has happened between laura and me.<br /> I called it a night with laura actually I couldn't wait to get back home to cuddle into tessa she thinks she is the only one that can't sleep without me but I can't sleep without her warm body pressed into mine it's going to be hard to sleep for awhile without her, am I really about to do this?<br /> I walk into the bedroom and see that the light is on but tessa isnt in the bed or in the room then i noticed that our wedding picture is missing from her night stand so i walk over to the bed and noticed a ripped up picture laying on the bed and its just me her side of the picture is gone, did she find out about laura? I walk to find the maid, have you seen tessa? She was in your office a little while ago faxing something sir, i nodd and ran straight to my office, is everything alright sir? Help me find tessa she isn't in the bedroom or in my office, i see her phone laying on my desk and i open it up and my heart sank when it was the messages between me and laura how did she find out how to do this?<br /> I sit back in my seat with her phone gripped tightly in my hands feeling numb all over when I noticed a sticky note that I don't remember leaving there and when i read it I didn't think it was even possible for my heart to sink any further until i read that she signed them and already faxed them my heart shattered. All I could do was imagine what she went through and is going through right now, where she went to? Is she safe? How could i have been so dumb? Why didn't she even put up a fight or even beg me?<br /> Im pacing back and forth at the foot of our bed imagining her laying in her spot looking so comfortable and sound asleep with me cuddle in behind her. i still see her undressed and standing there went i look in that direction, i still can see how the bottom of her belly was poking out a little and i started to imagine what she would look like with my baby in her and when my hand automatically went there it scared her, i know she isn't pregnant her periods came on time and she takes plan b after we sleep.<br /> I wasn't able to sleep last night so I went back to my home office before the sun came out thats when I noticed her wedding rings was laying there and i felt something I haven't felt in a long time running down my cheeks, it has been awhile sense i have cried I've actually been pretty happy with everything until now, i slid her wedding rings onto my pinky and just stared at them while tears are flowing down my face.<br /> I cant put out a missing persons report because our marriage was a secret I didn't want her to be noticed and live a happy and normal life without anyone knowing who she is. Ah ha she will probably be going to the bank soon to take out the money and ill tell them to notify me when she does, seeing how the bank is ran by my company they can't go against my orders.<br /> Laura has already called me this morning asking if i asked about a divorce yet i told her no because I didn't want to go straight into planning another wedding i still needed to find tessa I didn't want her to hurt.<br /> <br /> Tessa POV<br /> i haven't been able to hardly sleep at all, I wasn't lying to Richard when i told him I couldn't sleep without him but im getting used to it, its been 2 weeks sense i ran away and im about to run out of money so its time to empty my banking account and get the heck out of here so i can live freely and not only that i need to get my little one checked on and get the proper care that i need.<br /> My childhood friend is coming tonight and she is helping me escape tomorrow and we have a plan set up just incase he shows up I doubt he will sense this is what he wanted but its always good to plan ahead. Someone is knocking on my motel door and i know it isn't kelly because she will call my motel room when she gets here, i peek through the peephole and i see Richards assistant and Richard standing behind him with his arms folded across his chest and he doesn't look like she has slept good in ages, my heart drops to my feet has he found me? <br /> <br /> I almost opened the door when they stop someone walking by, excuse me sir have you seen this girl? He looks at the picture nope I can't say i have sorry, take this flyer and if you spot her give us a call and if you give us the right location and we locate her well will give you a great reward.<br /> Why is he looking for me? Is he having regrets? Does he know about the little one? Ive come to far im not turning myself in he probably wants me to get rid of little one if he knows it's coming and I won't take that chance no way. Kelly pulls in and they walk up to her car show her the flyer and i can tell she is trying so hard not to show it on her face, i see her shake her head no I can't hear what they are saying because they are so far away. They get into their vehicle and leave, i see her walking to my door and i hurry up and open it while hiding behind it.<br /> Girl do you know richard was just outside showing a picture of you trying to find you? Yes they knocked on my door but I didn't answer it, what is he wanting? I don't know i gave him what he wanted and he shouldn't know about little one we are the only ones that knows and i made sure to take the box and test with me, its a good thing you are getting out of here tomorrow that was way to close, yes it was I thought for sure he found me and came a hair of opening the door, don't you ever do something that dumb again, o im not promise.<br /> The next day kelly has me so made up that I don't recognize myself in the mirror, i have brown hair and she has me in a blonde wig a outfit that shows way to much of my body and my cleavage, i was just thankful I have a decent pair of flats i can run in if i have too. I put on a pair of over sized sunglasses and get on the bus and head to the bank, i walk into the bank go into the restroom and remove my wig stuff it in my big purse i fix my hair up into a messy bun and head to the tailors window. <br /> <br /> I show her my ID and my banking information i want everything out of my checking account and close my account, the tailor looks at me and smiles then whisperes i know who you are and im supposed to alert mr roads when you arrive to claim the money, please don't I just want to get my money and be on my way, don't worry i won't alert him until i see you walk out the door I can't stand laura she is making brags that she can't marry mr roads because you ran away before he could get you to sign the divorce papers, she hands me the money and i say i have signed the divorce papers and faxed the papers myself to his lawyer he is divorced and im not holding anyone up, <br /> <br /> I figured as much why else would he put 50 thousand into your checking account laura is just making up stories to make herself look good, ill be the run away wife I really don't care he is a free man what he does on his end is up to him, you better get going then before someone spots you, thank you so much she looks at me and gives me warming smile then winks.<br /> <br /> I step outside of the bank and take a last look around i plan not to step back into this city for years, i take one more big breath to calm my nerves down put on my sunglasses i start to take a step then i hear what sounded like someone slamming on their breaks, <br /> <br /> i thought someone was about to get ran over and i take a look to see what was going on when i noticed who's car it was i froze in my spot. Come on tessa get yourself together think of little one, i see a door open and richard gets out hollering my name, wait tessa i need to talk to you i shake my head no and turn around to take my steps away, tess please wait for me we need to talk, i turn to look at him and he is trying to dodge vehicles to get across the road to me and i spot my opportunity and took off running away from him and at this point instead of hollering my name he is screaming it.

I command Adam using all my Luna force.<br /> "I, Alpha Adam Hawkins, Alpha of the Red Blood Pack, I reject you, Lexie Banks, as my mate!" and giving her a serious look he commands her "Accept my rejection!"<br /> In the last life, I've been Luna since I married Adam and even if we were not fated mates I've done my job in the interest of this pack outstandingly. But finally, Lexie tortured me, Adam killed me.<br /> This time is only about me and about surviving, so screw you Lexie Banks, Adam Hawkins and Red Blood Pack! I had enough of you! <br /> "I want to divorce" I say and I can't believe that I am saying this but this is what I want.<br /> "I want to divorce!"<br /> ————————<br /> I lift my face and I look directly into my abuser eyes. I know him and he knows me. He knows that I am his Luna. We grew up together and he swore his oath to me three years ago and now he is whipping me like I am some kind of criminal?<br /> "Why are you beating me?" I say trying to look at his with dignity.<br /> "I asked you something, Bill?" I say again trying to support myself in my arms as I am kneeled on the ground of my cell.<br /> "What harm have I ever done to be treated like this?"<br /> But Bill throws me a furious gaze:<br /> "You know what you have done!" and out of nowhere another whip comes on my back ripping my flesh.<br /> "Kelly..."I whisper to my wolf and my head falls between my arms hitting the ground.<br /> "Kelly it hurts too much..." and my tears started to flow on my cheeks even if I tried, I really tried to resist and be brave but I can't do it anymore so I lean on the floor.<br /> "Can you help me, Kelly? Can you heal me?" I ask my wolf.<br /> "I want to, Natalie" she groans in pain.<br /> "but I can't do it anymore. I am too weak. He is beating us for hours" andI can hear her howls. She is begging the gods for help. Where is my Goddess right now? I don't deserve this.<br /> "Please" I whisper and try again to lift my head.<br /> "What is going on, Bill? Whatever is happening here you must know that it is just a misunderstanding. " and I placed my head on the ground so I could watch him as I spoke to him.<br /> "You fooled!" Bill growls at me.<br /> "You made us think that you are a good woman but you are just a malicious woman with no heart" and he lifts his arm in the air to hit me again.<br /> I know I can't escape from this. He even gave me wolfsbane so I could become weak and submit to him. I have no chance. I have no power in this.<br /> "I swear to you, Bill" I say in a whisper "I have no idea what are you talking about.."<br /> "Then how is it that her pup is dead,huh?" Bill asks and slaps me hard over my face "How is that our little Alpha is dead?"<br /> WHAT? What little Alpha? Who is dead?<br /> "Don't look at me as if you have no idea what is going on!" he says and slaps me. "You killed Lexie's baby! Our pack's heir!"<br /> Lexie's unborn pup is dead?<br /> "I didn't do it!" I scream with all the strength that was left in me. I would never do that!<br /> "I didn't touch her! It is not my fault if she aborted her pup!" I tell him and now my heart started to beat faster and faster.<br /> You might think that there is a problem,talking about another woman's pup as the pack's heir as I am Luna and the legal wife of Adam Hawkins, the Alpha of Red Blood Pack but there is more than that.<br /> I may be his Luna, but I am infertile and for three years all he wanted was to have an heir. And his fated mate gave it to him what I couldn't.<br /> I have no idea why the Moon Goddess made me infertile, but this is the way I am.<br /> But why are they accusing me of killing her pup? I have nothing to do with that.<br /> "Stop looking at me like that!" Bill suddenly growls, making me come back from my thoughts. "Stop looking at me as if you are innocent!"<br /> And I close my eyes in horror as I see the whip coming in my direction again but before he could touch me, the door opens and a hard growl comes from the frame door.<br /> "For the goddess's name, what have you done, Bill?"<br /> "What it was told to me. I made her pay for her crimes!" Bill says but in the next second he is pushed away from me by Philip McNeil, our beta. I can barely see Bill because of the blood that flows down my face, but he falls to the ground close to me.<br /> But what is making my soul jump is the scent of Adam. He is here, he will trust me. He knows me and he loves me. He knows that I would never do what Bill is accusing me. I try to look at him but before I could do it, Philip growls at Bill.<br /> "Who do you think you are to punish her? She deserves a trial. Until then no one can say if she is guilty or not!" Phillip tells him in a harsh voice,and kneels next to and looks at my wounds.<br /> "Get out of here, Bill, and don't show up again or I am strangling you for abusing your Luna!" he commands Bill.<br /> "She is not my Luna anymore!" Bill growls but he listens to Phillip and leaves my cell, leaving me alone with Adam and Philip. But why is Adam silent?<br /> "What have you done, Natalie?" Phillip whispers, looking at me with sadness.<br /> "I...did...nothing" I whisper and try to look into his eyes but I am way too weak, so I turn my face to Adam, and try to reach his gaze, but he looks at me with hatred.<br /> "Adam..."I whisper.<br /> "Lexie says that you did it" Phillip tells me and now my heart stops, but Philip's voice is not harsh anymore. He is talking to me calmly. "Everything is against you, Natalie."<br /> I look at Adam. He can't believe this. No,no, no. He must trust me, I just found out about Lexie's pup. How can I prove to them that I didn't do it?<br /> Who is gone say for me in front of Adam?<br /> Rosie!<br /> My omega must know that I wasn't in Lexie's room. She was with me all the time. She must help me. She is my only chance.<br /> "Adam" I say and this time I opened my eyes and looked directly into my mate's eyes "Please, talk with Rosie Walker. She knows that I didn't do it. She is my servant. She will stay by my side and tell you the truth. I would never touch an innocent pup, Adam. I am not that kind of person" and I burst into tears again.<br /> "I didn't do it!" I almost screamed,freaking out for the first time since this madness started.<br /> But before I could add something else the voice that I loved the most in this world mocks me hard as if he never loved me, as if I am his biggest enemy.<br /> "There is no need to tell me anything " Adam, my Alpha, my chosen mate and my husband says. "I already know what you did."<br /> What? No, this can't happen.<br /> "Love, I would never..." but the moment I said that his face became dark and coming in my direction he made me almost jump in fear.<br /> "Don't hurt me!" I screamed in horror,trying to hug my knees, and come in a fetal position as an attempt to defend myself from his hit, but my action shocked him.<br /> "What are you doing, Adam?" Phillip asks him and looks at me with strange eyes.<br /> "You are asking me that?" Adam asks furious and he is using his alpha command on him. "How do you dare to question me for this dog?" and the moment his words came out, Kelly's howls started to become louder and louder in my head. He hates us. He doesn't believe us.<br /> "Is not about betrayal, Adam" Phillip tells him "Is about giving her a chance to explain herself, to defend herself if there is something that was not spoken until now."<br /> Adam looks at me and I grab my wounded arms and wrap them around my body. I feel so cold, as the blood is flowing out of my system.<br /> "She will die soon, if you don't stop this madness" Phillip says, looking at me and that made Adam flinch. Maybe there are still a few emotions, a gram of love in his heart that it is destined for me.<br /> "I didn't do it" I whisper, trying my luck.<br /> "I would never hurt you this way, Adam"<br /> I say.<br /> I would never do that. He must know that.<br /> "But yet you did it!" Adam says in the end with some remorse in his gaze and turns his head in another direction as if he can't look at my wounded body anymore.<br /> "You were jealous of Lexie. I told you that she would never take your Luna position, but I need her to procreate. And you? What have you done? You worked on my back out of jealousy!"<br /> "I trusted you, Adam. There was no need to hurt her. I trusted you" I say and using all my strength I kneel and try to get on my feet.<br /> "You are lying!" He says turning around and pointing his index finger in my direction, looking at me with bloody eyes but I can't be weak. I need to beg him to listen to me.<br /> "You hurt my mate!" he growls at me "The mother of my pup!"<br /> His mate? HIS MATE? I can't do this anymore.<br /> "If she is your mate, what am I, Adam?" I asked him without even flinching because everything started to become clear. He loves her too even if he said he doesn't. But my question took him by surprise, because he just stares at me as if he has no idea how to answer that.<br /> "If you ever loved me even for a second"<br /> I tell him and look directly into his eyes.<br /> "I beg you, bring my servant here. Rosie knows my actions. She was with me almost all the time. She will be my witness."<br /> He is staring at me and he is doubting me.<br /> "Man she may..."Phillip starts but he is interrupted by a soft woman's voice.<br /> "She is right" and Adam turns around and almost runs to the door.<br /> "What are you doing here, Lexie?" he asks with a scared voice. "You should rest after everything you've suffered."<br /> "I wanted to see, Natalie," she whispers with the same soft voice. "I wanted to ask her why she did it".<br /> "Because she was jealous!" Adam explains to her and pulls her into his arms, making me and Kelly surfer. He marked me, he must know that he makes me suffer.<br /> "She said that she has a witness," Lexie tells him. "Maybe she is right, maybe it is all a misunderstanding" and my heart stopped.<br /> "Something is not right, Nat" Kelly whispers. "Is she defending us? Why would she do that?"<br /> "Bring her servant here" Lexie tells Adam ."I want to know if she wasn't the one who put poison in my food to abort our sweet and innocent pup." and my heart is not beating anymore.<br /> Is he going to give me a chance to defend myself? Is he going to save me from this madness? But why is Lexie helping me?<br /> "Are you sure?" he asks Lexie, without looking at me and she just nods,looking at him with puppy eyes.<br /> "I will give only one more chance,Natalie" Adam says and leaves Lexie's embrace. "For the sake of our past together" and looking at Phillip commands him.<br /> "Bring Rosie Walkers here"<br /> He did it. He gave us another chance..<br /> Even if it was not for us but for Lexie's sake, at least I have a chance to explain myself.<br /> "Did you ask for me, Alpha?" Rosie says and looking at me she lost her colors.<br /> "Luna!" she screams in horror, as she tries to reach me, but Adam stops her.<br /> "Leave her!" and using his Alpha command asks her.<br /> "Tell me the truth, Rosie. Is Natalie guilty or not for my unborn pup's death?" and that question made Rosie stop in her tracks. She is all shivering and bursts into tears.<br /> "What is going on?" I ask myself. What is with her reaction?<br /> "I command you to talk!" Adam growls at her and she looks at me and gives me devilish grin.<br /> "I am so sorry Alpha!" she busted in tears.<br /> Sorry for what? What is going on?<br /> "She forced me to do it, Alpha!" Rosie says and now I am really dead.<br /> "I didn't want to but she forced me."<br /> And Rosie kneels in front of Adam. "She used her Luna command on me and I was forced to submit to her! She commanded me to poison your fated mate!"<br /> "I never used my Luna command on anyone!" I tell him but Adam turns around and slaps me. "Please, love, please believe me!" I beg him, crying my heart out. "You know me since I was two, I would never do that!" and I grab his leg but Adam just kicks me to the ground.<br /> "Don't touch me!" he growls at me.<br /> "I love you, Adam. I would never..." but he turns his back to me and grabbing Lexie's hand he commands Phillip.<br /> "Prepare everything. Tomorrow I will execute her!"<br /> "You can't do that!" I growl at him. "This is a set up!" but he just left, dragging Lexie after him.<br /> "Just a moment," she says. "I need to ask her something." she excuses herself.<br /> "I am not leaving you alone with a criminal" Adam says and let me tell you.<br /> He is the criminal here, because he is killing me with his actions.<br /> "She can't hurt me anymore" Lexie tells him and gives him a nod. "Not now when I know the truth. Please" she begs him with her fake soft voice.<br /> "I will give you five minutes and if you are not in bed, Lexie, I swear to the goddess that I am going to beat you."<br /> he commands her but she just smiles and pecks his cheek.<br /> "I promise, my Alpha"<br /> Kelly growls "She is doing it on purpose!" and she would like to transform and kill Lexie, but she can't even heal me.<br /> "So?" Lexie asks me as soon as we are alone. "How is it to lose everything?"and she starts to laugh like crazy.<br /> "Why are you staring at me like this?"<br /> she asks me, mocking me. "You were such an easy target," she says,wrapping her arms at her chest."<br /> "You framed me out!" I told her while I supported myself on a wall so I could sit on my feet. "This is your work" I say and I know that I am right and for the first time in my life, my heart is full of hatred. I hate Lexie Banks. At this moment I even hate Adam for not believing in me, for hurting me so badly.<br /> "Of course it was my work. I saw Adam three years ago, on the day of your wedding and I knew he was my mate,but I couldn't just show up so I waited. It is said that whoever waits until the end will receive his reward, well I waited and planned everything."<br /> And she laughs at me , looking at her "Were you even pregnant?" I can't stop myself from asking but that made her stop.<br /> "Of course I was" she says "With a rogue." and she turns around and leaves but right before she exits she looks at me and says.<br /> "Now everything is right how it should be. Adam will give me your Luna position and I will get what I was looking for."<br /> "You are crazy" I said more in a whisper,but that remark made her laugh.<br /> "Oh, my dear, you have no idea what I have done to reach this point" and turning around she comes to me again and places a hand on my womb.<br /> "I must confess to you. Anyway you will die tomorrow and at this point no one will ever believe you again."<br /> Confess me what? What does she mean?<br /> "You, not being able to procreate...that is my work too."<br /> And my blood is boiling in my veins. She did something? But we have been trying for three years to have a pup, and she showed up months after our wedding.<br /> How could she.?<br /> "Rosie!" Kelly whispered. "They worked together"<br /> I must be like an opened book for her,because she started to laugh even harder.<br /> "You figured it out, didn't you?" Lexie mocks me, but I am not in the mood to hear her again and I jump on her and grab her by her neck.<br /> "Was it all because of you?"<br /> She ruined my life! I could have been happy. I could have had my happily ever after but this jerk showed up and robbed my life!<br /> "I will kill you!" I growl trying to elongate my claws and rip her head, but Lexie pushed me and made me hit the wall with my head.<br /> Everything is spinning around and I fall on my knees again and lean on the ground, without being able to support my own weight.<br /> "You are so pathetic!" Lexie laughs.<br /> "Look how weak you are!"<br /> Oh, Lexie...If I get up you will be so dead right now, but you made them give me wolfbane.<br /> "I am leaving, sorry for not being in the mood to see your weak and ugly face right now" she says. "I am going to my mate and who knows, maybe tonight we will conceive a pup!" and she leaves me there laughing her heart out.<br /> "Over my dead body!" I tell her more in a whisper.<br /> "Yeah...yeah.." she says as if she ignores me "And that will be right tomorrow. I will intercourse Adam over your dead body!"<br /> He won't do it? Isn't he? Adam will not kill me...he is my mate, my husband...<br /> but no matter how much I repeated this in my mind in the morning when the doors opened I knew that whatever I thought that I thought I knew about Adam was gone.<br /> "Take her!" Bill commands his warriors as they push me out of my cell.<br /> "Where are they taking us?" Kelly asks me scared, trying to take the command but the wolfsbane intoxicates her.<br /> "Nat!" she calls me but I can't utter a single word, he is going to do it. He is going to keep his word. The warriors throw me ugly looks and push me to walk, and I would do it but I can barely stay on my feet and then the doors open and the sun rays hit me hard.<br /> Everything hurts. My eyes are hurting because of the strong light, my skin that is all wounded feels like burning under the summer heat and my ears...oh my goddess! Is this really the pack I loved with all my heart? Is this a Red Blood Pack? Are those the same werewolves that swore faith to me or is some kind of a nightmare?<br /> "Kill her!!!!" everyone yells "She killed our pack heir! She doesn't deserve to live anymore!" and they started to throw things in my direction. Tomatoes, shoes,rocks... and none stops them.<br /> "Criminal!!!!" someone screamed from the crowd. "Kill her Alpha! I can't stand to look at her!"<br /> Well I can't stand to look at this pack either.<br /> I put so much effort in the last three years. So many nights without sleeping.<br /> Everything I did in the last years was for this pack and they want me dead? And why? Because I wasn't able to offer them an heir? I thought that working hard will compensate for my inability to convince but they just dumped me as soon as they had the opportunity to do it.<br /> I was their Luna but at the same timeI was their Alpha because Adam never cared about the pack, but about the power that comes with the Alpha position.<br /> I did everything in my power to keep this pack united. I attended all the meetings he skipped. My life was only at the service of this pack and now it is more than clear that it was all for nothing.<br /> I understood Adam in the past. I knew he was not a very social person so took the lead and I held the reins of this pack by myself, but I would have never expected that this would be the way he would reward me.<br /> He dumped me as soon as he found his fated mate, even if he said he wouldn't do it. She became the center of his ambitious plan to have an heir and even slept with her.<br /> Oh, Adam, you are so stupid!<br /> This dog is going to bury you. She fooled and played you on your fingers,just as she did it with me.<br /> After everything you have done I am just sad that I will not have the opportunity to watch your fall. Will be greater than mine.<br /> I wanted to run away hearing that Lexie is pregnant with your child. You killed me that day so now that there is nothing left I can see it clearly. Now everything was revealed.<br /> I was so stupid to will to accept that pup in my life just for you, I should have stayed for myself and ban her out of this pack. But you know what? Red Blood Pack deserves Lexie as its Luna.<br /> This will be my revenge.<br /> I walk through the crown and their insults are not affecting me anymore.<br /> They would better trust an omega than their Luna. They are just some opportunistic cowards. They are taking revenge on me for demanding high training standards, but it was all to protect them from the rogues.<br /> They really think that someone like Lexie would be a better choice for them? Just wait and watch Red Blood Pack! This woman will perish you!<br /> Maybe I exceeded my skills by taking<br /> Adam's duties but it was only for your own good.<br /> "Nat!" Suddenly Kelly whispers "The council is here!"<br /> And dad is here too. And I can see his panicked gaze, and I can see the tears that he is trying to hold. He was Adam father's beta for years and he always looked strong and unstoppable but now he looks so human, as if seeing me this way killed his heart.<br /> "I love you dad," I mindlink him and give him a straight look into his eyes, so he would know that I mean every single word I say.<br /> "Be strong," I whisper. " Be strong for me. Don't cry for me, dad. Just be the man I know you are" and would give him a smile but I can't find the strength to move my facial muscles. I can't even utter a single word.<br /> "This is not right, Natalie" he tells me and I see him coming in my direction,but I move my eyes and command him.<br /> "No dad, let him do what he puts in his mind. I can't escape from this" and I let Bill and his warriors drive me in front of the council, even if I feel my dad eyes watching me. In this crowd he is the only one who is on my side. Everyone else wants me dead.<br /> "Natalie Williams" one of the elders of the council announces. "We found you guilty for crime against you alpha and your pack"<br /> Guilty? Oh, elder, you are so wrong here!<br /> If I wouldn't be drugged I would prove to you who the real culprit is, but I can't continue talking about your nonsense.<br /> "The punishment for your crime is death!" he utters so sure of his words and I stare at the crowd that started to cheer at his words as if he just announced that they will receive more money.<br /> I turn my head and look at Adam. Adam the love of my life and also the executioner of my life. He walks in military steps and lifts the sword that the council brought for my execution.<br /> He is not even flinching. He is doing this by conviction. He wants to kill me. His inner spirit longs for my blood.<br /> "I will miss you dad" I whisper, giving my dad a last look, and I see him falling on his knees.<br /> "I will miss you Kelly" I whisper and I would like to hug my wolf if I could, to tell her that I am not mad at her for not being able to defend me, but this is above us. This is a betrayal I could never imagine that I will face.<br /> I see Adam in front of me but he is not watching me. He just lifted the sword and pierced my heart. He kicks me with his foot and makes me fall on the ground while the crowd cheers in madness , and my father collapses for good.<br /> "Kelly" I whisper, feeling dizzy. "This is it. This is the end." and my eyelashes started to flutter as I was not able not even to keep my eyes open for a few more seconds.<br /> All I could see was my blood flowing on the ground.<br /> "Stop it!"<br /> Someone said stop it? Am I hallucinating? I opened my eyes just a little bit and I could see a handsome man running in my direction. Do I know him?

I already have the papers drawn up..."<br /> I'm standing there and can't move, clutching the pregnancy test in my hands...<br /> I can't let him know that I know his plans...I need to get out of here.<br /> [A wife always knows. Sign them. Byebye.]<br /> I rub my flat belly. He can afford to wait, but my belly can't.<br /> <br /> ————————<br /> <br /> Im sitting here in shock as i sit here and look at 2 lines happiness and fear is going through me, happiness because im finally pregnant after 4 years of being married to richard and then the fear because he has never mentioned having kids with me and then there is the plan b he makes sure i take after we sleeping.<br /> I worked up enough courage to tell him and show him the pregnancy test and as im about to knock on his home office door i hear him talking in a hush tone. I told you baby im divorcing her I already have the papers drawn up in my desk you just have to give me time to break it to her and how to break it to her, yes baby our dinner plans are still on for tonight ill meet you there, i love you too and ill see you in a little bit.<br /> Im standing there and can't move clutching the pregnancy test in my hands with tears rolling down cheeks and i forced myself to move out of the front of his office door and walk to our bedroom hid the pregnancy test and jump into the shower to hide my tears. I guess I can put the blame on myself i knew who his childhood love is and i hoped that he would fall in love with me and forget about her but it doesn't look like the case and how dumb i feel.<br /> Im standing there under the water letting it hit my face and going over a plan in my head I've already made up my mind while he is gone ill pack up my stuff and sign the divorce papers in his home office then im gone. I was lost in my thoughts and didn't hear Richard get in the shower with me until i felt his arms wrap around me and pull me back into him.<br /> Showering without me are you? I felt so sick by his touch but I can't let him know that I know his plans and I need to get out of here. I went by your office and seen your door shut so I figured you was busy with work and didn't want to bother you, im never to busy for you darling. He turns me around so i will face him his hand is softly stroking my face while he stares at my face like he is taking a mental picture, he smiles then says you know i love you don't you? <br /> I mentally roll my eyes back into my head then smiled and said yes i know and do you know that i love you back? His smile reached his ears yes i do then he stars bussing me ever so passionly and it felt like to me that this will our last time.<br /> He throws me up against the shower wall and hikes one of my legs up to his side, lets make out in the shower its been awhile sense we have done this he said while nibbling on my neck, it has been awhile i said smiling while he slips inside of me. love this round was different we both knew it would be our last time together like this and he is taking his time like he is making a mental video at this moment. He has me pushed up against the wall and my legs are wrapped around his waste, richard im about to, i know darling i am too. <br /> <br /> He sits me down and makes me lean forward and put my hands against the wall then he pounds into me, the bathroom is filled with my moans and his grunts baby do you know how bad your tight little cherry drives me crazy when your getting off? Yes i do and i love that it drives you crazy, he starts stroking harder and faster and i know his release is coming, after he released himself inside of me he grabs me and pulls me close to him while leaving himself inside of me he has never did this before.<br /> He hurried and finished showering and i stay behind to finish up my shower, i came out and looked surprised when i seen him in his suit, going back to the office? Yea i have to finish up some work so ill be late don't wait up for me, you know its hard for me to sleep without you so hurry back as fast as you can and i gave him a warm smile, he walks over to me takes his thumb under my chin to make me look at him then he busses me ever so gently he takes the towel off of me and his hand goes straight to my belly i start to panic does he know? He pulls away and takes a couple steps back and just stares at me if i wouldn't have pulled away we would have went for round 2, so i say giving him a flirty smile after all we are husband and wife, he walks up to me softly stroking my face if i didn't have to be at the office we would definitely go for another round he busses me one more time then looks me in my eyes and says don't forget your plan b pill and don't wait up, i nodd and smile at him and walk over to my night then i hear the bedroom door shut.<br /> I sit on the bed listening to his footsteps fade away, wow he must be in a hurry to get to her because normally he would watch me just to make sure i took it, i walk across the hall and look out the window he is standing there typing on his phone then he slides into the back seat while the driver shuts the door. I grab my iphone log in with his information and read every iMessage between them my heart felt like it was stabbed over and over again he is talking about having kids with her something he has never with me i rub my flat belly don't worry little one mommy will make sure you have the best life i can give you we won't need him.<br /> I walk back to the room pack my things walk to his office to look for the divorce papers, i found them and read through them if i don't give him any trouble i get 50 thousand dollars and his name is already signed so i signed my name and faxed the papers to his lawyer. I laid the divorce papers on top of his desk and added a sticky note on top. A wife always knows and ive already faxed the papers to your lawyer after i signed them take care richard love tessa. I reset my iphone back to factory mode sign in on under his accounts and left the screen on his imessages with laura so that way when he picks it up that will be the first thing he will see and he can't track me if i don't have this phone if he wanted too.<br /> I remember to grab the pregnancy test and the box so i don't leave any evidence behind about my little one he didn't want one anyway at least not with me. I was able to sneak out without the maid seeing me walked down the road a little ways where the cab was waiting for me. I told the cab driver the address and sat back watching out the window I fought hard to keep my tears from falling down my cheeks he doesn't want me then i won't shed no tears for him. I had the cab drop me off at a little hotel where they would let me pay with cash and didn't ask for ID i can hide out here until that money goes into my banking account then i can get it all out and close my account down.<br /> <br /> Richards POV<br /> im stuck with a big dilemma between 2 women that i love except for one knows about the other when the other one don't, laura wants me to divorce tessa and that was the plan until i started having doubts, yes i may have already had the divorce papers drawn up and signed my name but that doesn't mean it's killing me on the inside. The shower love we had earlier was amazing heck every time we sleep its always amazing with tessa who ever thought a shy and quite girl like tessa would be so kinky? She is my type of women in the bed.<br /> I had to get one last look of her undressed body and one last taste of her before i break her heart tomorrow ive made up my mind ive missed laura like crazy while she was away with her dad for 5 years and was over joyed when she let me know that she is moving back I couldn't wait to see her. As twisted as this may sound I haven't touched laura sure we have bussed but out of respect for tessa thats all that has happened between laura and me.<br /> I called it a night with laura actually I couldn't wait to get back home to cuddle into tessa she thinks she is the only one that can't sleep without me but I can't sleep without her warm body pressed into mine it's going to be hard to sleep for awhile without her, am I really about to do this?<br /> I walk into the bedroom and see that the light is on but tessa isnt in the bed or in the room then i noticed that our wedding picture is missing from her night stand so i walk over to the bed and noticed a ripped up picture laying on the bed and its just me her side of the picture is gone, did she find out about laura? I walk to find the maid, have you seen tessa? She was in your office a little while ago faxing something sir, i nodd and ran straight to my office, is everything alright sir? Help me find tessa she isn't in the bedroom or in my office, i see her phone laying on my desk and i open it up and my heart sank when it was the messages between me and laura how did she find out how to do this?<br /> I sit back in my seat with her phone gripped tightly in my hands feeling numb all over when I noticed a sticky note that I don't remember leaving there and when i read it I didn't think it was even possible for my heart to sink any further until i read that she signed them and already faxed them my heart shattered. All I could do was imagine what she went through and is going through right now, where she went to? Is she safe? How could i have been so dumb? Why didn't she even put up a fight or even beg me?<br /> Im pacing back and forth at the foot of our bed imagining her laying in her spot looking so comfortable and sound asleep with me cuddle in behind her. i still see her undressed and standing there went i look in that direction, i still can see how the bottom of her belly was poking out a little and i started to imagine what she would look like with my baby in her and when my hand automatically went there it scared her, i know she isn't pregnant her periods came on time and she takes plan b after we sleep.<br /> I wasn't able to sleep last night so I went back to my home office before the sun came out thats when I noticed her wedding rings was laying there and i felt something I haven't felt in a long time running down my cheeks, it has been awhile sense i have cried I've actually been pretty happy with everything until now, i slid her wedding rings onto my pinky and just stared at them while tears are flowing down my face.<br /> I cant put out a missing persons report because our marriage was a secret I didn't want her to be noticed and live a happy and normal life without anyone knowing who she is. Ah ha she will probably be going to the bank soon to take out the money and ill tell them to notify me when she does, seeing how the bank is ran by my company they can't go against my orders.<br /> Laura has already called me this morning asking if i asked about a divorce yet i told her no because I didn't want to go straight into planning another wedding i still needed to find tessa I didn't want her to hurt.<br /> <br /> Tessa POV<br /> i haven't been able to hardly sleep at all, I wasn't lying to Richard when i told him I couldn't sleep without him but im getting used to it, its been 2 weeks sense i ran away and im about to run out of money so its time to empty my banking account and get the heck out of here so i can live freely and not only that i need to get my little one checked on and get the proper care that i need.<br /> My childhood friend is coming tonight and she is helping me escape tomorrow and we have a plan set up just incase he shows up I doubt he will sense this is what he wanted but its always good to plan ahead. Someone is knocking on my motel door and i know it isn't kelly because she will call my motel room when she gets here, i peek through the peephole and i see Richards assistant and Richard standing behind him with his arms folded across his chest and he doesn't look like she has slept good in ages, my heart drops to my feet has he found me? <br /> <br /> I almost opened the door when they stop someone walking by, excuse me sir have you seen this girl? He looks at the picture nope I can't say i have sorry, take this flyer and if you spot her give us a call and if you give us the right location and we locate her well will give you a great reward.<br /> Why is he looking for me? Is he having regrets? Does he know about the little one? Ive come to far im not turning myself in he probably wants me to get rid of little one if he knows it's coming and I won't take that chance no way. Kelly pulls in and they walk up to her car show her the flyer and i can tell she is trying so hard not to show it on her face, i see her shake her head no I can't hear what they are saying because they are so far away. They get into their vehicle and leave, i see her walking to my door and i hurry up and open it while hiding behind it.<br /> Girl do you know richard was just outside showing a picture of you trying to find you? Yes they knocked on my door but I didn't answer it, what is he wanting? I don't know i gave him what he wanted and he shouldn't know about little one we are the only ones that knows and i made sure to take the box and test with me, its a good thing you are getting out of here tomorrow that was way to close, yes it was I thought for sure he found me and came a hair of opening the door, don't you ever do something that dumb again, o im not promise.<br /> The next day kelly has me so made up that I don't recognize myself in the mirror, i have brown hair and she has me in a blonde wig a outfit that shows way to much of my body and my cleavage, i was just thankful I have a decent pair of flats i can run in if i have too. I put on a pair of over sized sunglasses and get on the bus and head to the bank, i walk into the bank go into the restroom and remove my wig stuff it in my big purse i fix my hair up into a messy bun and head to the tailors window. <br /> <br /> I show her my ID and my banking information i want everything out of my checking account and close my account, the tailor looks at me and smiles then whisperes i know who you are and im supposed to alert mr roads when you arrive to claim the money, please don't I just want to get my money and be on my way, don't worry i won't alert him until i see you walk out the door I can't stand laura she is making brags that she can't marry mr roads because you ran away before he could get you to sign the divorce papers, she hands me the money and i say i have signed the divorce papers and faxed the papers myself to his lawyer he is divorced and im not holding anyone up, <br /> <br /> I figured as much why else would he put 50 thousand into your checking account laura is just making up stories to make herself look good, ill be the run away wife I really don't care he is a free man what he does on his end is up to him, you better get going then before someone spots you, thank you so much she looks at me and gives me warming smile then winks.<br /> <br /> I step outside of the bank and take a last look around i plan not to step back into this city for years, i take one more big breath to calm my nerves down put on my sunglasses i start to take a step then i hear what sounded like someone slamming on their breaks, <br /> <br /> i thought someone was about to get ran over and i take a look to see what was going on when i noticed who's car it was i froze in my spot.

I command Adam using all my Luna force.<br /> "I, Alpha Adam Hawkins, Alpha of the Red Blood Pack, I reject you, Lexie Banks, as my mate!" and giving her a serious look he commands her "Accept my rejection!"<br /> In the last life, I've been Luna since I married Adam and even if we were not fated mates I've done my job in the interest of this pack outstandingly. But finally, Lexie tortured me, Adam killed me.<br /> This time is only about me and about surviving, so screw you Lexie Banks, Adam Hawkins and Red Blood Pack! I had enough of you! <br /> "I want to divorce" I say and I can't believe that I am saying this but this is what I want.<br /> "I want to divorce!"<br /> ————————<br /> I lift my face and I look directly into my abuser eyes. I know him and he knows me. He knows that I am his Luna. We grew up together and he swore his oath to me three years ago and now he is whipping me like I am some kind of criminal?<br /> "Why are you beating me?" I say trying to look at his with dignity.<br /> "I asked you something, Bill?" I say again trying to support myself in my arms as I am kneeled on the ground of my cell.<br /> "What harm have I ever done to be treated like this?"<br /> But Bill throws me a furious gaze:<br /> "You know what you have done!" and out of nowhere another whip comes on my back ripping my flesh.<br /> "Kelly..."I whisper to my wolf and my head falls between my arms hitting the ground.<br /> "Kelly it hurts too much..." and my tears started to flow on my cheeks even if I tried, I really tried to resist and be brave but I can't do it anymore so I lean on the floor.<br /> "Can you help me, Kelly? Can you heal me?" I ask my wolf.<br /> "I want to, Natalie" she groans in pain.<br /> "but I can't do it anymore. I am too weak. He is beating us for hours" andI can hear her howls. She is begging the gods for help. Where is my Goddess right now? I don't deserve this.<br /> "Please" I whisper and try again to lift my head.<br /> "What is going on, Bill? Whatever is happening here you must know that it is just a misunderstanding. " and I placed my head on the ground so I could watch him as I spoke to him.<br /> "You fooled!" Bill growls at me.<br /> "You made us think that you are a good woman but you are just a malicious woman with no heart" and he lifts his arm in the air to hit me again.<br /> I know I can't escape from this. He even gave me wolfsbane so I could become weak and submit to him. I have no chance. I have no power in this.<br /> "I swear to you, Bill" I say in a whisper "I have no idea what are you talking about.."<br /> "Then how is it that her pup is dead,huh?" Bill asks and slaps me hard over my face "How is that our little Alpha is dead?"<br /> WHAT? What little Alpha? Who is dead?<br /> "Don't look at me as if you have no idea what is going on!" he says and slaps me. "You killed Lexie's baby! Our pack's heir!"<br /> Lexie's unborn pup is dead?<br /> "I didn't do it!" I scream with all the strength that was left in me. I would never do that!<br /> "I didn't touch her! It is not my fault if she aborted her pup!" I tell him and now my heart started to beat faster and faster.<br /> You might think that there is a problem,talking about another woman's pup as the pack's heir as I am Luna and the legal wife of Adam Hawkins, the Alpha of Red Blood Pack but there is more than that.<br /> I may be his Luna, but I am infertile and for three years all he wanted was to have an heir. And his fated mate gave it to him what I couldn't.<br /> I have no idea why the Moon Goddess made me infertile, but this is the way I am.<br /> But why are they accusing me of killing her pup? I have nothing to do with that.<br /> "Stop looking at me like that!" Bill suddenly growls, making me come back from my thoughts. "Stop looking at me as if you are innocent!"<br /> And I close my eyes in horror as I see the whip coming in my direction again but before he could touch me, the door opens and a hard growl comes from the frame door.<br /> "For the goddess's name, what have you done, Bill?"<br /> "What it was told to me. I made her pay for her crimes!" Bill says but in the next second he is pushed away from me by Philip McNeil, our beta. I can barely see Bill because of the blood that flows down my face, but he falls to the ground close to me.<br /> But what is making my soul jump is the scent of Adam. He is here, he will trust me. He knows me and he loves me. He knows that I would never do what Bill is accusing me. I try to look at him but before I could do it, Philip growls at Bill.<br /> "Who do you think you are to punish her? She deserves a trial. Until then no one can say if she is guilty or not!" Phillip tells him in a harsh voice,and kneels next to and looks at my wounds.<br /> "Get out of here, Bill, and don't show up again or I am strangling you for abusing your Luna!" he commands Bill.<br /> "She is not my Luna anymore!" Bill growls but he listens to Phillip and leaves my cell, leaving me alone with Adam and Philip. But why is Adam silent?<br /> "What have you done, Natalie?" Phillip whispers, looking at me with sadness.<br /> "I...did...nothing" I whisper and try to look into his eyes but I am way too weak, so I turn my face to Adam, and try to reach his gaze, but he looks at me with hatred.<br /> "Adam..."I whisper.<br /> "Lexie says that you did it" Phillip tells me and now my heart stops, but Philip's voice is not harsh anymore. He is talking to me calmly. "Everything is against you, Natalie."<br /> I look at Adam. He can't believe this. No,no, no. He must trust me, I just found out about Lexie's pup. How can I prove to them that I didn't do it?<br /> Who is gone say for me in front of Adam?<br /> Rosie!<br /> My omega must know that I wasn't in Lexie's room. She was with me all the time. She must help me. She is my only chance.<br /> "Adam" I say and this time I opened my eyes and looked directly into my mate's eyes "Please, talk with Rosie Walker. She knows that I didn't do it. She is my servant. She will stay by my side and tell you the truth. I would never touch an innocent pup, Adam. I am not that kind of person" and I burst into tears again.<br /> "I didn't do it!" I almost screamed,freaking out for the first time since this madness started.<br /> But before I could add something else the voice that I loved the most in this world mocks me hard as if he never loved me, as if I am his biggest enemy.<br /> "There is no need to tell me anything " Adam, my Alpha, my chosen mate and my husband says. "I already know what you did."<br /> What? No, this can't happen.<br /> "Love, I would never..." but the moment I said that his face became dark and coming in my direction he made me almost jump in fear.<br /> "Don't hurt me!" I screamed in horror,trying to hug my knees, and come in a fetal position as an attempt to defend myself from his hit, but my action shocked him.<br /> "What are you doing, Adam?" Phillip asks him and looks at me with strange eyes.<br /> "You are asking me that?" Adam asks furious and he is using his alpha command on him. "How do you dare to question me for this dog?" and the moment his words came out, Kelly's howls started to become louder and louder in my head. He hates us. He doesn't believe us.<br /> "Is not about betrayal, Adam" Phillip tells him "Is about giving her a chance to explain herself, to defend herself if there is something that was not spoken until now."<br /> Adam looks at me and I grab my wounded arms and wrap them around my body. I feel so cold, as the blood is flowing out of my system.<br /> "She will die soon, if you don't stop this madness" Phillip says, looking at me and that made Adam flinch. Maybe there are still a few emotions, a gram of love in his heart that it is destined for me.<br /> "I didn't do it" I whisper, trying my luck.<br /> "I would never hurt you this way, Adam"<br /> I say.<br /> I would never do that. He must know that.<br /> "But yet you did it!" Adam says in the end with some remorse in his gaze and turns his head in another direction as if he can't look at my wounded body anymore.<br /> "You were jealous of Lexie. I told you that she would never take your Luna position, but I need her to procreate. And you? What have you done? You worked on my back out of jealousy!"<br /> "I trusted you, Adam. There was no need to hurt her. I trusted you" I say and using all my strength I kneel and try to get on my feet.<br /> "You are lying!" He says turning around and pointing his index finger in my direction, looking at me with bloody eyes but I can't be weak. I need to beg him to listen to me.<br /> "You hurt my mate!" he growls at me "The mother of my pup!"<br /> His mate? HIS MATE? I can't do this anymore.<br /> "If she is your mate, what am I, Adam?" I asked him without even flinching because everything started to become clear. He loves her too even if he said he doesn't. But my question took him by surprise, because he just stares at me as if he has no idea how to answer that.<br /> "If you ever loved me even for a second"<br /> I tell him and look directly into his eyes.<br /> "I beg you, bring my servant here. Rosie knows my actions. She was with me almost all the time. She will be my witness."<br /> He is staring at me and he is doubting me.<br /> "Man she may..."Phillip starts but he is interrupted by a soft woman's voice.<br /> "She is right" and Adam turns around and almost runs to the door.<br /> "What are you doing here, Lexie?" he asks with a scared voice. "You should rest after everything you've suffered."<br /> "I wanted to see, Natalie," she whispers with the same soft voice. "I wanted to ask her why she did it".<br /> "Because she was jealous!" Adam explains to her and pulls her into his arms, making me and Kelly surfer. He marked me, he must know that he makes me suffer.<br /> "She said that she has a witness," Lexie tells him. "Maybe she is right, maybe it is all a misunderstanding" and my heart stopped.<br /> "Something is not right, Nat" Kelly whispers. "Is she defending us? Why would she do that?"<br /> "Bring her servant here" Lexie tells Adam ."I want to know if she wasn't the one who put poison in my food to abort our sweet and innocent pup." and my heart is not beating anymore.<br /> Is he going to give me a chance to defend myself? Is he going to save me from this madness? But why is Lexie helping me?<br /> "Are you sure?" he asks Lexie, without looking at me and she just nods,looking at him with puppy eyes.<br /> "I will give only one more chance,Natalie" Adam says and leaves Lexie's embrace. "For the sake of our past together" and looking at Phillip commands him.<br /> "Bring Rosie Walkers here"<br /> He did it. He gave us another chance..<br /> Even if it was not for us but for Lexie's sake, at least I have a chance to explain myself.<br /> "Did you ask for me, Alpha?" Rosie says and looking at me she lost her colors.<br /> "Luna!" she screams in horror, as she tries to reach me, but Adam stops her.<br /> "Leave her!" and using his Alpha command asks her.<br /> "Tell me the truth, Rosie. Is Natalie guilty or not for my unborn pup's death?" and that question made Rosie stop in her tracks. She is all shivering and bursts into tears.<br /> "What is going on?" I ask myself. What is with her reaction?<br /> "I command you to talk!" Adam growls at her and she looks at me and gives me devilish grin.<br /> "I am so sorry Alpha!" she busted in tears.<br /> Sorry for what? What is going on?<br /> "She forced me to do it, Alpha!" Rosie says and now I am really dead.<br /> "I didn't want to but she forced me."<br /> And Rosie kneels in front of Adam. "She used her Luna command on me and I was forced to submit to her! She commanded me to poison your fated mate!"<br /> "I never used my Luna command on anyone!" I tell him but Adam turns around and slaps me. "Please, love, please believe me!" I beg him, crying my heart out. "You know me since I was two, I would never do that!" and I grab his leg but Adam just kicks me to the ground.<br /> "Don't touch me!" he growls at me.<br /> "I love you, Adam. I would never..." but he turns his back to me and grabbing Lexie's hand he commands Phillip.<br /> "Prepare everything. Tomorrow I will execute her!"<br /> "You can't do that!" I growl at him. "This is a set up!" but he just left, dragging Lexie after him.<br /> "Just a moment," she says. "I need to ask her something." she excuses herself.<br /> "I am not leaving you alone with a criminal" Adam says and let me tell you.<br /> He is the criminal here, because he is killing me with his actions.<br /> "She can't hurt me anymore" Lexie tells him and gives him a nod. "Not now when I know the truth. Please" she begs him with her fake soft voice.<br /> "I will give you five minutes and if you are not in bed, Lexie, I swear to the goddess that I am going to beat you."<br /> he commands her but she just smiles and pecks his cheek.<br /> "I promise, my Alpha"<br /> Kelly growls "She is doing it on purpose!" and she would like to transform and kill Lexie, but she can't even heal me.<br /> "So?" Lexie asks me as soon as we are alone. "How is it to lose everything?"and she starts to laugh like crazy.<br /> "Why are you staring at me like this?"<br /> she asks me, mocking me. "You were such an easy target," she says,wrapping her arms at her chest."<br /> "You framed me out!" I told her while I supported myself on a wall so I could sit on my feet. "This is your work" I say and I know that I am right and for the first time in my life, my heart is full of hatred. I hate Lexie Banks. At this moment I even hate Adam for not believing in me, for hurting me so badly.<br /> "Of course it was my work. I saw Adam three years ago, on the day of your wedding and I knew he was my mate,but I couldn't just show up so I waited. It is said that whoever waits until the end will receive his reward, well I waited and planned everything."<br /> And she laughs at me , looking at her "Were you even pregnant?" I can't stop myself from asking but that made her stop.<br /> "Of course I was" she says "With a rogue." and she turns around and leaves but right before she exits she looks at me and says.<br /> "Now everything is right how it should be. Adam will give me your Luna position and I will get what I was looking for."<br /> "You are crazy" I said more in a whisper,but that remark made her laugh.<br /> "Oh, my dear, you have no idea what I have done to reach this point" and turning around she comes to me again and places a hand on my womb.<br /> "I must confess to you. Anyway you will die tomorrow and at this point no one will ever believe you again."<br /> Confess me what? What does she mean?<br /> "You, not being able to procreate...that is my work too."<br /> And my blood is boiling in my veins. She did something? But we have been trying for three years to have a pup, and she showed up months after our wedding.<br /> How could she.?<br /> "Rosie!" Kelly whispered. "They worked together"<br /> I must be like an opened book for her,because she started to laugh even harder.<br /> "You figured it out, didn't you?" Lexie mocks me, but I am not in the mood to hear her again and I jump on her and grab her by her neck.<br /> "Was it all because of you?"<br /> She ruined my life! I could have been happy. I could have had my happily ever after but this jerk showed up and robbed my life!<br /> "I will kill you!" I growl trying to elongate my claws and rip her head, but Lexie pushed me and made me hit the wall with my head.<br /> Everything is spinning around and I fall on my knees again and lean on the ground, without being able to support my own weight.<br /> "You are so pathetic!" Lexie laughs.<br /> "Look how weak you are!"<br /> Oh, Lexie...If I get up you will be so dead right now, but you made them give me wolfbane.<br /> "I am leaving, sorry for not being in the mood to see your weak and ugly face right now" she says. "I am going to my mate and who knows, maybe tonight we will conceive a pup!" and she leaves me there laughing her heart out.<br /> "Over my dead body!" I tell her more in a whisper.<br /> "Yeah...yeah.." she says as if she ignores me "And that will be right tomorrow. I will intercourse Adam over your dead body!"<br /> He won't do it? Isn't he? Adam will not kill me...he is my mate, my husband...<br /> but no matter how much I repeated this in my mind in the morning when the doors opened I knew that whatever I thought that I thought I knew about Adam was gone.<br /> "Take her!" Bill commands his warriors as they push me out of my cell.<br /> "Where are they taking us?" Kelly asks me scared, trying to take the command but the wolfsbane intoxicates her.<br /> "Nat!" she calls me but I can't utter a single word, he is going to do it. He is going to keep his word. The warriors throw me ugly looks and push me to walk, and I would do it but I can barely stay on my feet and then the doors open and the sun rays hit me hard.<br /> Everything hurts. My eyes are hurting because of the strong light, my skin that is all wounded feels like burning under the summer heat and my ears...oh my goddess! Is this really the pack I loved with all my heart? Is this a Red Blood Pack? Are those the same werewolves that swore faith to me or is some kind of a nightmare?<br /> "Kill her!!!!" everyone yells "She killed our pack heir! She doesn't deserve to live anymore!" and they started to throw things in my direction. Tomatoes, shoes,rocks... and none stops them.<br /> "Criminal!!!!" someone screamed from the crowd. "Kill her Alpha! I can't stand to look at her!"<br /> Well I can't stand to look at this pack either.<br /> I put so much effort in the last three years. So many nights without sleeping.<br /> Everything I did in the last years was for this pack and they want me dead? And why? Because I wasn't able to offer them an heir? I thought that working hard will compensate for my inability to convince but they just dumped me as soon as they had the opportunity to do it.<br /> I was their Luna but at the same timeI was their Alpha because Adam never cared about the pack, but about the power that comes with the Alpha position.<br /> I did everything in my power to keep this pack united. I attended all the meetings he skipped. My life was only at the service of this pack and now it is more than clear that it was all for nothing.<br /> I understood Adam in the past. I knew he was not a very social person so took the lead and I held the reins of this pack by myself, but I would have never expected that this would be the way he would reward me.<br /> He dumped me as soon as he found his fated mate, even if he said he wouldn't do it. She became the center of his ambitious plan to have an heir and even slept with her.<br /> Oh, Adam, you are so stupid!<br /> This dog is going to bury you. She fooled and played you on your fingers,just as she did it with me.<br /> After everything you have done I am just sad that I will not have the opportunity to watch your fall. Will be greater than mine.<br /> I wanted to run away hearing that Lexie is pregnant with your child. You killed me that day so now that there is nothing left I can see it clearly. Now everything was revealed.<br /> I was so stupid to will to accept that pup in my life just for you, I should have stayed for myself and ban her out of this pack. But you know what? Red Blood Pack deserves Lexie as its Luna.<br /> This will be my revenge.<br /> I walk through the crown and their insults are not affecting me anymore.<br /> They would better trust an omega than their Luna. They are just some opportunistic cowards. They are taking revenge on me for demanding high training standards, but it was all to protect them from the rogues.<br /> They really think that someone like Lexie would be a better choice for them? Just wait and watch Red Blood Pack! This woman will perish you!<br /> Maybe I exceeded my skills by taking<br /> Adam's duties but it was only for your own good.<br /> "Nat!" Suddenly Kelly whispers "The council is here!"<br /> And dad is here too. And I can see his panicked gaze, and I can see the tears that he is trying to hold. He was Adam father's beta for years and he always looked strong and unstoppable but now he looks so human, as if seeing me this way killed his heart.<br /> "I love you dad," I mindlink him and give him a straight look into his eyes, so he would know that I mean every single word I say.<br /> "Be strong," I whisper. " Be strong for me. Don't cry for me, dad. Just be the man I know you are" and would give him a smile but I can't find the strength to move my facial muscles. I can't even utter a single word.<br /> "This is not right, Natalie" he tells me and I see him coming in my direction,but I move my eyes and command him.<br /> "No dad, let him do what he puts in his mind. I can't escape from this" and I let Bill and his warriors drive me in front of the council, even if I feel my dad eyes watching me. In this crowd he is the only one who is on my side. Everyone else wants me dead.<br /> "Natalie Williams" one of the elders of the council announces. "We found you guilty for crime against you alpha and your pack"<br /> Guilty? Oh, elder, you are so wrong here!<br /> If I wouldn't be drugged I would prove to you who the real culprit is, but I can't continue talking about your nonsense.<br /> "The punishment for your crime is death!" he utters so sure of his words and I stare at the crowd that started to cheer at his words as if he just announced that they will receive more money.<br /> I turn my head and look at Adam. Adam the love of my life and also the executioner of my life. He walks in military steps and lifts the sword that the council brought for my execution.<br /> He is not even flinching. He is doing this by conviction. He wants to kill me. His inner spirit longs for my blood.<br /> "I will miss you dad" I whisper, giving my dad a last look, and I see him falling on his knees.<br /> "I will miss you Kelly" I whisper and I would like to hug my wolf if I could, to tell her that I am not mad at her for not being able to defend me, but this is above us. This is a betrayal I could never imagine that I will face.<br /> I see Adam in front of me but he is not watching me. He just lifted the sword and pierced my heart. He kicks me with his foot and makes me fall on the ground while the crowd cheers in madness , and my father collapses for good.<br /> "Kelly" I whisper, feeling dizzy. "This is it. This is the end." and my eyelashes started to flutter as I was not able not even to keep my eyes open for a few more seconds.<br /> All I could see was my blood flowing on the ground.<br /> "Stop it!"<br /> Someone said stop it? Am I hallucinating? I opened my eyes just a little bit and I could see a handsome man running in my direction. Do I know him?

His son, Matthew, will become the new Alpha in a few months. His father and I have agreed that Matthew needs to have a strong mate by his side to lead the pack successfully," Lily's father explained, "And that is not you." <br /> Lily felt as if her whole world had been turned upside down. She didn't know if she wanted to scream or cry. How could they make this decision for her?<br /> "In three days, you will attend the Rejection Ceremony. Then in a week, you will have a mating ceremony with someone more on your level, his brother, Garrett Hunter."<br /> Garrett? Garrett Hunter?? The disfigured, rejected brother of Matthew? How could they force me to reject my fated mate and then mate to his ruthless brother?!<br /> ————————<br /> Lily stared in horror at her father. She couldn't make sense of what he was saying. Why would Matthew reject her? When they talked on the phone all day, he never mentioned it.<br /> "You're joking," Lily said. "You have to be joking." <br /> Her father scowled at her because he disliked repeating himself. He paused for a moment to collect himself before saying, "This is no joke. You will be marrying Garrett Hunter."<br /> When Lily heard her father say those words, her heart sank. "I am his fated mate. We're meant to be together. Why would he want to reject me? There must be a mistake!"<br /> "Lily, you're an omega. No respectable Alpha would want you as their Luna. We're saving you the agony of having to deal with your mate having a mistress," her mother explained, "and it's not like you won't have a mate."<br /> "It's what you deserve, Lily. Garrett is perfect for you," Brandy said smugly. <br /> Garrett? Garrett Hunter?? The disfigured, rejected brother of Matthew? This had to be some sort of joke. They couldn't possibly be serious. But her parents were not laughing.<br /> Lily slid her seat back and stood up. She ran back to her room, slamming the door behind her. Brandy stood up to bring her back downstairs, but her mother stopped her.<br /> "Leave her alone. There is nowhere she can go. This is something she must accept," her mother stated.<br /> "Pick up the phone, Matthew. Come on!" Lily murmured as she dialed his number for the tenth time. It just rang again and again until it went to voicemail. Lily didn't bother leaving another voicemail because she had already left five.<br /> Lily sighed in frustration and tossed her phone to the floor before pacing the room. Why would her parents subject her to such cruelty? Wasn't it enough that they treated her like trash because she was an omega? But now they were going to take this away from her as well?!<br /> Lily nearly crashed into the wall to get to her phone when it buzzed on the bed. Her heart sank again when she realized it was Tiffany, not Matthew, calling. Lily answered the phone.<br /> "Hey girlie! It has been hours. What was the dinner about? Are you..." Tiffany started.<br /> Lily interjected and said, "Can I come over? I can't stay here. Please say yes."<br /> Hearing her tone, Tiffany became serious and asked, "What's wrong? Your sister is bothering you again?"<br /> "No. It's much worse. Please tell me I can come over," Lily pleaded.<br /> "Yes, you can come. I am not leaving for my parents' until tomorrow. Where are you? I can come to get you," Tiffany offered.<br /> "No. I will come to you," Lily said, "Thank you." She quickly hung up the phone. Lily went to her closet and grabbed an overnight bag. She yanked her dress off and changed into a t-shirt and workout pants.<br /> Lily then began packing items she didn't want to lose and enough clothes to get her through the holidays. She had no intention of coming back here.<br /> The door to her bedroom swung open, causing Lily to jump. She turned to see Mira, one of the omegas working in the kitchen. Mira placed her finger on her lips before she slowly closed the door behind her.<br /> "They told you," Mira said. It was more of a statement than a question. It made Lily sick to her stomach. Everyone had been smiling in her face. Did everyone but her know? It was humiliating that this was kept from her. "I was commanded not to tell you. I really wanted to."<br /> "It's fine, Mira. I know you wouldn't betray me," Lily responded. It would be physically impossible for Mira to go against a command. Perhaps if she were a Gamma or even a Beta, but as an Omega, the pain of it would have killed her wolf, which would've killed her.<br /> "I won't let them force me," Lily declared. "I can't let them take one of the only things that have made me happy."<br /> Mira and Lily grew very close growing up. As they were both omegas and Lily was excluded from high-ranking wolf activities, she spent most of her time with Mira. Mira's father, the pack doctor, was the reason she wanted to become a doctor in the first place.<br /> "Then, let me help you," Mira said, "I can get you out of here. They planned to leave you alone for the rest of the weekend."<br /> "You can't. If they find out..."<br /> "They'll assume I helped you even if I didn't. I'll be beaten no matter what, but I won't die," Mira countered, interrupting her. "Dad is already outside with a car to take you wherever you want to go."<br /> Lily hugged Mira tightly. Mira smiled slightly, wanting to go with her, but she was bound to the pack grounds. Leaving or even going rogue would harm her father's position in the pack. She couldn't risk it.<br /> "Thank you, Mira," Lily said.<br /> Tiffany opened her front door to see Lily standing like a beat dog in her doorway. Lily waved to the car that drove away. Tiffany pulled her into her home and quickly closed the door. Lily immediately began sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> "Lily, what's going on? What happened?" Tiffany asked, leading her to the sofa. She had already prepared Lily's favorite meal as well as hot cocoa.<br /> "They are trying to force me into a rejection ceremony," Lily managed to say.<br /> "What? Why? They can't do that. It'd be spitting in the Goddess' face. You could end up cursed or worse," Tiffany exclaimed.<br /> "They don't care. They don't think I'd be a fit for him because I'm an omega," Lily stated.<br /> "That's not up to them. That's up to the Goddess, and the Goddess wants you and Matthew to be together," Tiffany stated.<br /> "They don't see it that way. They..." Lily stopped in mid sentence as a horrible pain gripped her chest. She gasped as she clutched her chest and tried to slow her breathing.<br /> "Lily? Is it one of your panic attacks?" Tiffany asked.<br /> Lily could only nod, unable to speak as she concentrated on breathing as the pain radiated through her. She suffered from panic attacks for a long time. Lily assumed it was because of stress. It would eventually fade, thanks to Dina's assistance.<br /> Lily gasped in relief as the pain began to fade, and she said, "I'm okay now."<br /> "You need to speak with Matthew. You two can elope, and they won't be able to do anything about it,"<br /> "Elope?"<br /> --<br /> "Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?" Tiffany asked as she walked Lily out of her apartment. She didn't want to leave her in such a terrible situation.<br /> "No, I need to do this alone," Lily answered with a weak smile. She couldn't get in contact with Matthew all night. Lily needed to speak with him. Whatever happened between her and Matthew, she would have to deal with it alone. Lily didn't want to get her too caught up in her family drama.<br /> "Well, you know where my spare key is," Tiffany said.<br /> "Don't worry about me. I'll be okay. Matthew and I will elope, and everything will be fine," Lily said.<br /> Tiffany smiled slightly, but Lily noticed that her eyes looked somewhat sad. She had known Tiffany long enough to know that she was holding back. Before Lily could ask Tiffany what she was thinking, Lily's cab arrived.<br /> Tiffany hugged her again and said, "Keep me updated. You know my parents will accept you with open arms. They said the offer is still open if you want to join my pack."<br /> Lily nodded and got into the cab. She waved goodbye before telling the cab driver, "10 Armstead Place." The cab driver nodded and drove off.<br /> The drive didn't take long. All the while, she could feel a stabbing pain in her chance. It was another anxiety attack. She had never felt so bad before.<br /> "Ma'am, are you okay?" the cab driver asked, noticing her distress.<br /> "Yes, I am fine. Thank you," Lily answered. "Just having a little panic attack, I think."<br /> 'It's the stress,' Dina said to her. 'I am doing everything I can to dull it. I can't reach Baldur. I don't know why he isn't responding to me. Do you think our father or maybe his father did something?'<br /> Baldur was Matthew's wolf. He was as happy as Dina when they learned that they were mates. As much as Lily and Matthew talked on the phone, Dina and Baldur communicated more telepathically.<br /> 'It could be. I can't believe it. I don't want to believe that Matthew would agree to this. Maybe he is cutting off all communication because he doesn't want anyone to find him. No one knows about his apartment in the city,' Lily responded.<br /> The city was a neutral zone for all supernatural creatures. Pack hierarchy or mutual dislike of different races wasn't tolerated here. The elders made it a point that all supernatural children grew up aware of others to squash any ignorance. It was a good idea in theory, but many outside factors were at play. People couldn't help but judge one another.<br /> "We're here," the cab driver said, bringing Lily out of her thoughts. She pulled out $40 from her wallet and said, "Keep the change." She got out of the car and rushed up the steps to Matthew's apartment.<br /> Lily had been there more than once over the weekend. Her family never knew when she was home, and she wanted to keep it that way. When it would get bad at home, Matthew was a reprieve for her as Lily didn't want to have to deal with her family any more than she had to.<br /> Lily quickly grabbed the spare key under the mat and opened the door. She stepped into his apartment, and the pain seemed to intensify. Lily gripped her chest and almost fell face-first into the carpet. She used the wall to move further into his apartment.<br /> There was a smell that she couldn't quite place. It made her hackles rise. She felt angry for no reason.<br /> 'Find him now,' Dina growled within her.<br /> 'What's wrong?' Lily asked, but Dina only responded with a growl.<br /> "Oh, Matthew! Pull my hair!"<br /> An all-too-familiar voice broke the silence, and Lily could now hear the slapping of skin. As she approached his bedroom, it became increasingly louder. Lily swallowed hard as she tried to process what she was hearing and what she didn't want to believe was happening. Lily's hand shivered as she was about to place her hand on the door.<br /> 'We must see this,' Dina growled. 'Open the door.'<br /> Lily slowly pushed open the door. There in front of her was Brandy and her sister having intercourse.<br /> The anxiety attacks, the waves of pain were Matthew having intercourse with her.<br /> Lily was almost catatonic as she watched the betrayal before her eyes. This was supposed to be her. She had waited years for him, and here he was having intercourse with this bimbo in front of her.<br /> Lily gripped the side of the door frame, her claws going straight through as she tried to compose herself. The sudden movement caused Matthew to look up. His eyes widened in surprise when he saw her.<br /> "Oh hello, sister. Did you enjoy the show?" Brandy mocked as Lily walked into the room. Lily said nothing as she approached Brandy. With all her might, Lily slapped Brandy hard enough to send her into the headboard.<br /> "You bimbo!" Brandy yelled as she gripped her head in pain. Lily slapped her again before Matthew caught her wrist. She used her other hand to slap Matthew across the face with strength she didn't know she had. Her claws left gashes on the side of his face.<br /> "Lily?!" Matthew exclaimed.<br /> "Don't ever speak to us, you filthy dog," Lily growled out. Her eyes were silver as it was Dina now talking. "All this time, you betrayed us for this bimbo!"<br /> "You have to understand, Lily. I didn't have a choice. I..."<br /> "Enough of your lies! I will go through with the rejection ceremony. We can do it tonight because I want to be rid of you. I'll take whatever curse the Goddess dishes out!" Lily screamed before storming out, leaving the door wide open.<br /> --<br /> "Don't you think that is inappropriate?" Kenneth asked his Luna from the doorway of their bedroom. <br /> "Not at all. It is a joyous occasion," Mandy said as she applied burgundy lipstick and stood up. She brushed the wrinkles out of her blue sweater dress as she looked herself over in the mirror before approaching him with a slight smile. "You should change. That suit is so depressing."<br /> "The suit is proper attire for the custom. You shouldn't take this much glee in her suffering," Kenneth responded, causing Mandy to frown. <br /> Mandy scoffed and said, "Don't try to act like you care about the little brat now. Don't be a hypocrite. You could care less and this arrangement will benefit the both of us."<br /> "At least make it believable in front of the Hunters," Kenneth reasoned. Mandy rolled her eyes. Of course she would behave. What kind of idiot did he take her for?<br /> "Come. You wouldn't want to keep Lily waiting," Mandy said condescendingly. <br /> Again, Kenneth didn't respond and followed Mandy to the entertainment hall. Both packs were in attendance. Both acknowledged their presence, showing their necks to them both. <br /> Alpha Jack and Luna Kelly looked agitated by the entire situation. The Luna of Grey Blood Pack was very against the rejection ceremony. However, she didn't have much say in the situation since both Alphas agreed to it. <br /> "Where is she?" Kenneth asked one of the omegas that were serving spirits. <br /> "She is coming, my Alpha. We are watching her closely. There is no chance she will run away again," the omega answered. <br /> Kenneth nodded and walked to the stage with Jack following behind him. He took a spoon to his spirits glass to get everyone's attention. <br /> "Thank you for joining us here tonight to celebrate the union of two great packs," Kenneth began and turned to Jack, "It is an honor that our packs will be united." <br /> "Yes, we look forward to our unified strength," Jack nodded. <br /> "Lily, Brandy, and Matthew Hunter, please come up here," Kenneth said. <br /> Brandy quickly came to greet her father. Kenneth frowned at her attire as he reluctantly hugged her. She was always scantily clad, even after telling her to dress appropriately for the occasion. <br /> 'Like mother, like daughter,' Kenneth's wolf, Jasper, said before growling in irritation at seeing Matthew. Kenneth had recently learned that Matthew had been sleeping with Brandy behind Lily's back. As a father and a believer of old customs, he wanted to choke him, but it was better this way. At least one of his daughters would be a proper Luna.<br /> 'We should tear his throat out for humiliating Lily,' Jasper growled.<br /> 'Calm down,' Kenneth told him.<br /> 'You're a pathetic father,' Jasper responded before blocking himself from Kenneth like he always did. <br /> After a few minutes, Lily did not show. Kenneth frowned and he spoke over the microphone, "Where is Lily? Bring her here!" He didn't need her defying him in front of both packs. This union had to happen. <br /> "I am here, father!"<br /> Matthew stood on the stage awkwardly. He didn't expect that both packs would be here for this. Matthew assumed that this would be a private affair, but he knew his mother had to have had a hand in this. <br /> Kelly had been horrified and disappointed in Matthew when she discovered that Matthew had been sleeping with Lily's little sister. No one in their line had ever denied the Moon Goddess' will up until now. The only thing that calmed her was that Lily would still marry into the pack. <br /> Matthew didn't really want to be mated with Brandy. He just wanted to have fun before he was forever bound to Lily. However, he understood why his father wanted him to mate Mandy instead. An Alpha had to be seen as strong. A weak Luna was a liability. He could not rule a pack with an omega Luna.<br /> 'It is not the right choice!' Baldur growled within him. 'Why did the Moon Goddess curse me to be bonded to you until death? She is meant for us! You know it!'<br /> 'There is nothing we can do now. It is done,' Matthew responded.<br /> 'You fool. You're going to regret this.' Baldur warned before Matthew suppressed him again like he always did when he didn't want to hear what he had to say. <br /> After Kenneth and his father Jack's speech, there was a pause as they waited for Lily to appear. She had not shown up, which infuriated Kenneth. As he demanded to know where Lily was, her voice rang out. <br /> "I am here, father!"<br /> Lily emerged from the crowd, taking Matthew's breath away. There were murmurs from the crowd as they watched Lily. She wore a simple form-fitting strapless white dress with an overlay of lace. Her hair was pulled up in a bun, and a white veil covered her face. Lily wore her wedding dress to the rejection ceremony. <br /> When she got to the stage, she hugged her father, ignored Mandy, and curtsied to Alpha Jack and Luna Kelly before taking her position in front of Matthew. Lily kept a calm expression, but Matthew could see the fury in Lily's eyes. <br /> "Lily, I..." Matthew started, but she raised her hand, stopping him. <br /> Lily gave her hand to Jack and nodded to him. Jack smirked. This little female had sass. It was a shame that she was not an Alpha. Jack took the ceremonial blade and cut her palm. Matthew gave his hand to Kenneth, and he cut Matthew's hand. <br /> "I... I..." Matthew stammered. He found that he could not bring himself to say the words. Everything in him told him it was wrong. "Father, I can't. I..."<br /> "I, Lily Bray, the first-born daughter of Alpha Kenneth Bray, and my wolf, Dina, reject you, Matthew Hunter, the first-born son of Kenneth Hunter, and your wolf Baldur for your betrayal of our mate bond with my sister, Brandy," Lily said firmly as she grabbed Matthew's hand. "Do you accept?"<br /> There were gasps and murmurs from the audience, as no female in history has willingly rejected their mate. It was such a scandalous affair as both sets of parents wanted to keep it hushed that Matthew had been cheating, which was partly why the rejection ceremony was happening. <br /> Lily wasn't having any of it. They wanted to embarrass her publicly, so she wanted everyone to know the truth.<br /> "I... Matthew Hunter, the first-born son of Kenneth Hunter...accept your rejection," Matthew managed to say. As soon as the words left his mouth, he could feel their mate bond fully snap. Baldur howled in anguish within him as his bond with Dina snapped away even though he refused to accept the rejection. <br /> Lily fought the urge to collapse there on the stage. She welcomed the pain, embraced it as this was nothing compared to the anguish she felt over the betrayal. "I wish Matthew and Brandy well with their upcoming mating ceremony," Lily finally said. She turned to leave but was stopped by Brandy's grip on her wrist. <br /> "We accept your blessings dear sister. We hope to see you at our mating ceremony as I won't be able to go through with it if you aren't there by my side," Brandy said with a smug smile, wanting to see Lily lose her composure. <br /> Lily resisted the urge to scream at Brandy and punch her in the face. She kept her face calm and relaxed despite an eye twitch. Lily pulled her wrist free before grabbing her hand with her bloodied hand. <br /> Lily looked deep into Brandy's eyes trying to convey the hatred and anger she felt for her through her eyes. It didn't go unnoticed that Brandy stepped back due to the intensity of Lily's gaze. "Of course, Brandy. I wouldn't miss it for the world," Lily answered before removing her hand from hers. With another curtsy, Lily left the entertainment hall. She didn't collapse into tears until she reached her bedroom.<br /> "Dad! You can't be serious!" Lily exclaimed as she was dragged down the hallway by her father. <br /> After the rejection ceremony, Lily stayed in her room to mourn the loss of her mating bond for two days. She prayed and begged the Moon Goddess for forgiveness. Lily never wanted to do this, but she didn't have a choice. She couldn't be tied to an unfaithful mate for the rest of her life. <br /> On the second night, her father, Kenneth, kicked the door in to drag her out. Because Garrett didn't attend the rejection ceremony, Kenneth was bent on Lily being bonded to Garrett immediately. <br /> After receiving a phone call that Garrett was back from a business trip and was staying at the Blueberry Suites, Kenneth knew that he had to get Lily to him. He forced her to go to the pack doctor to have every test done to show that she was still pure and genetically tested to show she had no defects before getting her ready to go to the hotel. <br /> "You shut up!" Kenneth exclaimed. "Do you know how your little stunt made us seem to the other packs?"<br /> "You look powerful and smart, right? That's what you wanted!" Lily snapped back and Kenneth slapped her. <br /> "You embarrassed us! You wore your wedding dress. You were supposed to be the regretful mate, not an over zealous harlot!" Kenneth raged. <br /> "Harlot? I'm the harlot? Of course, you wouldn't talk bad about your dear daughter Brandy," Lily retorted. <br /> Kenneth slapped her again and Lily growled in warning at him. "Don't you dare! You're not stupid. You should have known better. No Alpha will want an Omega. Because of your antics, Brandy can't even use your dress. By ensuring your bond to Garrett, Alpha Jack promises to pay for everything," Kenneth retorted. <br /> "What about what I want? You got what you wanted! Brandy will be Matthew's Luna! Why must you do this to me? You could disown me. You could expel me from the pack!" Lily asked as she was brought to a door. She should've taken her friend up on her offer to go out of state with her for the holidays. Perhaps she would've been able to avoid all of this.<br /> "You made your decisions and I have made mine. Maybe if you hadn't tried to keep your money from me, this wouldn't be happening. Your little stunt didn't work," Kenneth sneered. <br /> "No! That money doesn't belong to you! I worked so hard..." <br /> "You have no say! You only received privileges because you are my daughter. You hold no value. You are a tool and nothing else. The quicker you understand that, the better off you'll be!" Kenneth snapped, cutting Lily off. He pried the jacket off his daughter, revealing her attire: a silky white camisole. "Hopefully, he'll teach you how to behave and know your place in the world."<br /> For the first time in her life, she wanted to physically harm her father. Lily wanted to shift and maul her father, but she was still too weak from the broken mate bond. She was helpless as Kenneth opened the door to the room and shoved her inside, causing her to fall hard on her butt. Her father slammed the door in her face, locking it behind him. <br /> Lily beat on the door when she realized she couldn't open it. 'Calm down Lily. Let's see if there is another way we can get out,' Dina said. Lily nodded and began to explore the room.<br /> The room was decorated with honey hues, for they gave a sense of home away from home, of a place of nurturing safety. However, Lily didn't feel safe at all. She felt like her whole world had been turned upside down. <br /> Tonight was her engagement night as her father explained it. It was more like she was being offered up on a silver platter to a predator.<br /> When she realized the windows were locked and couldn't break them, Lily quickly turned the lights off and sat down on the bed. The room was now pitch black and eerily quiet. The only sound that could be heard was the fan that was hiding Lily's rapid breathing. Lily lay stiffly on the bed, feeling like her body was under a spell. She was unable to move. <br /> Lily heard the door opening, and light entered the room, blinding her for a moment. She closed her eyes in fright, afraid of what would happen next.

His son, Matthew, will become the new Alpha in a few months. His father and I have agreed that Matthew needs to have a strong mate by his side to lead the pack successfully," Lily's father explained, "And that is not you." <br /> Lily felt as if her whole world had been turned upside down. She didn't know if she wanted to scream or cry. How could they make this decision for her?<br /> "In three days, you will attend the Rejection Ceremony. Then in a week, you will have a mating ceremony with someone more on your level, his brother, Garrett Hunter."<br /> Garrett? Garrett Hunter?? The disfigured, rejected brother of Matthew? How could they force me to reject my fated mate and then mate to his ruthless brother?!<br /> ————————<br /> Lily stared in horror at her father. She couldn't make sense of what he was saying. Why would Matthew reject her? When they talked on the phone all day, he never mentioned it.<br /> "You're joking," Lily said. "You have to be joking." <br /> Her father scowled at her because he disliked repeating himself. He paused for a moment to collect himself before saying, "This is no joke. You will be marrying Garrett Hunter."<br /> When Lily heard her father say those words, her heart sank. "I am his fated mate. We're meant to be together. Why would he want to reject me? There must be a mistake!"<br /> "Lily, you're an omega. No respectable Alpha would want you as their Luna. We're saving you the agony of having to deal with your mate having a mistress," her mother explained, "and it's not like you won't have a mate."<br /> "It's what you deserve, Lily. Garrett is perfect for you," Brandy said smugly. <br /> Garrett? Garrett Hunter?? The disfigured, rejected brother of Matthew? This had to be some sort of joke. They couldn't possibly be serious. But her parents were not laughing.<br /> Lily slid her seat back and stood up. She ran back to her room, slamming the door behind her. Brandy stood up to bring her back downstairs, but her mother stopped her.<br /> "Leave her alone. There is nowhere she can go. This is something she must accept," her mother stated.<br /> "Pick up the phone, Matthew. Come on!" Lily murmured as she dialed his number for the tenth time. It just rang again and again until it went to voicemail. Lily didn't bother leaving another voicemail because she had already left five.<br /> Lily sighed in frustration and tossed her phone to the floor before pacing the room. Why would her parents subject her to such cruelty? Wasn't it enough that they treated her like trash because she was an omega? But now they were going to take this away from her as well?!<br /> Lily nearly crashed into the wall to get to her phone when it buzzed on the bed. Her heart sank again when she realized it was Tiffany, not Matthew, calling. Lily answered the phone.<br /> "Hey girlie! It has been hours. What was the dinner about? Are you..." Tiffany started.<br /> Lily interjected and said, "Can I come over? I can't stay here. Please say yes."<br /> Hearing her tone, Tiffany became serious and asked, "What's wrong? Your sister is bothering you again?"<br /> "No. It's much worse. Please tell me I can come over," Lily pleaded.<br /> "Yes, you can come. I am not leaving for my parents' until tomorrow. Where are you? I can come to get you," Tiffany offered.<br /> "No. I will come to you," Lily said, "Thank you." She quickly hung up the phone. Lily went to her closet and grabbed an overnight bag. She yanked her dress off and changed into a t-shirt and workout pants.<br /> Lily then began packing items she didn't want to lose and enough clothes to get her through the holidays. She had no intention of coming back here.<br /> The door to her bedroom swung open, causing Lily to jump. She turned to see Mira, one of the omegas working in the kitchen. Mira placed her finger on her lips before she slowly closed the door behind her.<br /> "They told you," Mira said. It was more of a statement than a question. It made Lily sick to her stomach. Everyone had been smiling in her face. Did everyone but her know? It was humiliating that this was kept from her. "I was commanded not to tell you. I really wanted to."<br /> "It's fine, Mira. I know you wouldn't betray me," Lily responded. It would be physically impossible for Mira to go against a command. Perhaps if she were a Gamma or even a Beta, but as an Omega, the pain of it would have killed her wolf, which would've killed her.<br /> "I won't let them force me," Lily declared. "I can't let them take one of the only things that have made me happy."<br /> Mira and Lily grew very close growing up. As they were both omegas and Lily was excluded from high-ranking wolf activities, she spent most of her time with Mira. Mira's father, the pack doctor, was the reason she wanted to become a doctor in the first place.<br /> "Then, let me help you," Mira said, "I can get you out of here. They planned to leave you alone for the rest of the weekend."<br /> "You can't. If they find out..."<br /> "They'll assume I helped you even if I didn't. I'll be beaten no matter what, but I won't die," Mira countered, interrupting her. "Dad is already outside with a car to take you wherever you want to go."<br /> Lily hugged Mira tightly. Mira smiled slightly, wanting to go with her, but she was bound to the pack grounds. Leaving or even going rogue would harm her father's position in the pack. She couldn't risk it.<br /> "Thank you, Mira," Lily said.<br /> Tiffany opened her front door to see Lily standing like a beat dog in her doorway. Lily waved to the car that drove away. Tiffany pulled her into her home and quickly closed the door. Lily immediately began sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> "Lily, what's going on? What happened?" Tiffany asked, leading her to the sofa. She had already prepared Lily's favorite meal as well as hot cocoa.<br /> "They are trying to force me into a rejection ceremony," Lily managed to say.<br /> "What? Why? They can't do that. It'd be spitting in the Goddess' face. You could end up cursed or worse," Tiffany exclaimed.<br /> "They don't care. They don't think I'd be a fit for him because I'm an omega," Lily stated.<br /> "That's not up to them. That's up to the Goddess, and the Goddess wants you and Matthew to be together," Tiffany stated.<br /> "They don't see it that way. They..." Lily stopped in mid sentence as a horrible pain gripped her chest. She gasped as she clutched her chest and tried to slow her breathing.<br /> "Lily? Is it one of your panic attacks?" Tiffany asked.<br /> Lily could only nod, unable to speak as she concentrated on breathing as the pain radiated through her. She suffered from panic attacks for a long time. Lily assumed it was because of stress. It would eventually fade, thanks to Dina's assistance.<br /> Lily gasped in relief as the pain began to fade, and she said, "I'm okay now."<br /> "You need to speak with Matthew. You two can elope, and they won't be able to do anything about it,"<br /> "Elope?"<br /> --<br /> "Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?" Tiffany asked as she walked Lily out of her apartment. She didn't want to leave her in such a terrible situation.<br /> "No, I need to do this alone," Lily answered with a weak smile. She couldn't get in contact with Matthew all night. Lily needed to speak with him. Whatever happened between her and Matthew, she would have to deal with it alone. Lily didn't want to get her too caught up in her family drama.<br /> "Well, you know where my spare key is," Tiffany said.<br /> "Don't worry about me. I'll be okay. Matthew and I will elope, and everything will be fine," Lily said.<br /> Tiffany smiled slightly, but Lily noticed that her eyes looked somewhat sad. She had known Tiffany long enough to know that she was holding back. Before Lily could ask Tiffany what she was thinking, Lily's cab arrived.<br /> Tiffany hugged her again and said, "Keep me updated. You know my parents will accept you with open arms. They said the offer is still open if you want to join my pack."<br /> Lily nodded and got into the cab. She waved goodbye before telling the cab driver, "10 Armstead Place." The cab driver nodded and drove off.<br /> The drive didn't take long. All the while, she could feel a stabbing pain in her chance. It was another anxiety attack. She had never felt so bad before.<br /> "Ma'am, are you okay?" the cab driver asked, noticing her distress.<br /> "Yes, I am fine. Thank you," Lily answered. "Just having a little panic attack, I think."<br /> 'It's the stress,' Dina said to her. 'I am doing everything I can to dull it. I can't reach Baldur. I don't know why he isn't responding to me. Do you think our father or maybe his father did something?'<br /> Baldur was Matthew's wolf. He was as happy as Dina when they learned that they were mates. As much as Lily and Matthew talked on the phone, Dina and Baldur communicated more telepathically.<br /> 'It could be. I can't believe it. I don't want to believe that Matthew would agree to this. Maybe he is cutting off all communication because he doesn't want anyone to find him. No one knows about his apartment in the city,' Lily responded.<br /> The city was a neutral zone for all supernatural creatures. Pack hierarchy or mutual dislike of different races wasn't tolerated here. The elders made it a point that all supernatural children grew up aware of others to squash any ignorance. It was a good idea in theory, but many outside factors were at play. People couldn't help but judge one another.<br /> "We're here," the cab driver said, bringing Lily out of her thoughts. She pulled out $40 from her wallet and said, "Keep the change." She got out of the car and rushed up the steps to Matthew's apartment.<br /> Lily had been there more than once over the weekend. Her family never knew when she was home, and she wanted to keep it that way. When it would get bad at home, Matthew was a reprieve for her as Lily didn't want to have to deal with her family any more than she had to.<br /> Lily quickly grabbed the spare key under the mat and opened the door. She stepped into his apartment, and the pain seemed to intensify. Lily gripped her chest and almost fell face-first into the carpet. She used the wall to move further into his apartment.<br /> There was a smell that she couldn't quite place. It made her hackles rise. She felt angry for no reason.<br /> 'Find him now,' Dina growled within her.<br /> 'What's wrong?' Lily asked, but Dina only responded with a growl.<br /> "Oh, Matthew! Pull my hair!"<br /> An all-too-familiar voice broke the silence, and Lily could now hear the slapping of skin. As she approached his bedroom, it became increasingly louder. Lily swallowed hard as she tried to process what she was hearing and what she didn't want to believe was happening. Lily's hand shivered as she was about to place her hand on the door.<br /> 'We must see this,' Dina growled. 'Open the door.'<br /> Lily slowly pushed open the door. There in front of her was Brandy and her sister having intercourse.<br /> The anxiety attacks, the waves of pain were Matthew having intercourse with her.<br /> Lily was almost catatonic as she watched the betrayal before her eyes. This was supposed to be her. She had waited years for him, and here he was having intercourse with this bimbo in front of her.<br /> Lily gripped the side of the door frame, her claws going straight through as she tried to compose herself. The sudden movement caused Matthew to look up. His eyes widened in surprise when he saw her.<br /> "Oh hello, sister. Did you enjoy the show?" Brandy mocked as Lily walked into the room. Lily said nothing as she approached Brandy. With all her might, Lily slapped Brandy hard enough to send her into the headboard.<br /> "You bimbo!" Brandy yelled as she gripped her head in pain. Lily slapped her again before Matthew caught her wrist. She used her other hand to slap Matthew across the face with strength she didn't know she had. Her claws left gashes on the side of his face.<br /> "Lily?!" Matthew exclaimed.<br /> "Don't ever speak to us, you filthy dog," Lily growled out. Her eyes were silver as it was Dina now talking. "All this time, you betrayed us for this bimbo!"<br /> "You have to understand, Lily. I didn't have a choice. I..."<br /> "Enough of your lies! I will go through with the rejection ceremony. We can do it tonight because I want to be rid of you. I'll take whatever curse the Goddess dishes out!" Lily screamed before storming out, leaving the door wide open.<br /> --<br /> "Don't you think that is inappropriate?" Kenneth asked his Luna from the doorway of their bedroom. <br /> "Not at all. It is a joyous occasion," Mandy said as she applied burgundy lipstick and stood up. She brushed the wrinkles out of her blue sweater dress as she looked herself over in the mirror before approaching him with a slight smile. "You should change. That suit is so depressing."<br /> "The suit is proper attire for the custom. You shouldn't take this much glee in her suffering," Kenneth responded, causing Mandy to frown. <br /> Mandy scoffed and said, "Don't try to act like you care about the little brat now. Don't be a hypocrite. You could care less and this arrangement will benefit the both of us."<br /> "At least make it believable in front of the Hunters," Kenneth reasoned. Mandy rolled her eyes. Of course she would behave. What kind of idiot did he take her for?<br /> "Come. You wouldn't want to keep Lily waiting," Mandy said condescendingly. <br /> Again, Kenneth didn't respond and followed Mandy to the entertainment hall. Both packs were in attendance. Both acknowledged their presence, showing their necks to them both. <br /> Alpha Jack and Luna Kelly looked agitated by the entire situation. The Luna of Grey Blood Pack was very against the rejection ceremony. However, she didn't have much say in the situation since both Alphas agreed to it. <br /> "Where is she?" Kenneth asked one of the omegas that were serving spirits. <br /> "She is coming, my Alpha. We are watching her closely. There is no chance she will run away again," the omega answered. <br /> Kenneth nodded and walked to the stage with Jack following behind him. He took a spoon to his spirits glass to get everyone's attention. <br /> "Thank you for joining us here tonight to celebrate the union of two great packs," Kenneth began and turned to Jack, "It is an honor that our packs will be united." <br /> "Yes, we look forward to our unified strength," Jack nodded. <br /> "Lily, Brandy, and Matthew Hunter, please come up here," Kenneth said. <br /> Brandy quickly came to greet her father. Kenneth frowned at her attire as he reluctantly hugged her. She was always scantily clad, even after telling her to dress appropriately for the occasion. <br /> 'Like mother, like daughter,' Kenneth's wolf, Jasper, said before growling in irritation at seeing Matthew. Kenneth had recently learned that Matthew had been sleeping with Brandy behind Lily's back. As a father and a believer of old customs, he wanted to choke him, but it was better this way. At least one of his daughters would be a proper Luna.<br /> 'We should tear his throat out for humiliating Lily,' Jasper growled.<br /> 'Calm down,' Kenneth told him.<br /> 'You're a pathetic father,' Jasper responded before blocking himself from Kenneth like he always did. <br /> After a few minutes, Lily did not show. Kenneth frowned and he spoke over the microphone, "Where is Lily? Bring her here!" He didn't need her defying him in front of both packs. This union had to happen. <br /> "I am here, father!"<br /> Matthew stood on the stage awkwardly. He didn't expect that both packs would be here for this. Matthew assumed that this would be a private affair, but he knew his mother had to have had a hand in this. <br /> Kelly had been horrified and disappointed in Matthew when she discovered that Matthew had been sleeping with Lily's little sister. No one in their line had ever denied the Moon Goddess' will up until now. The only thing that calmed her was that Lily would still marry into the pack. <br /> Matthew didn't really want to be mated with Brandy. He just wanted to have fun before he was forever bound to Lily. However, he understood why his father wanted him to mate Mandy instead. An Alpha had to be seen as strong. A weak Luna was a liability. He could not rule a pack with an omega Luna.<br /> 'It is not the right choice!' Baldur growled within him. 'Why did the Moon Goddess curse me to be bonded to you until death? She is meant for us! You know it!'<br /> 'There is nothing we can do now. It is done,' Matthew responded.<br /> 'You fool. You're going to regret this.' Baldur warned before Matthew suppressed him again like he always did when he didn't want to hear what he had to say. <br /> After Kenneth and his father Jack's speech, there was a pause as they waited for Lily to appear. She had not shown up, which infuriated Kenneth. As he demanded to know where Lily was, her voice rang out. <br /> "I am here, father!"<br /> Lily emerged from the crowd, taking Matthew's breath away. There were murmurs from the crowd as they watched Lily. She wore a simple form-fitting strapless white dress with an overlay of lace. Her hair was pulled up in a bun, and a white veil covered her face. Lily wore her wedding dress to the rejection ceremony. <br /> When she got to the stage, she hugged her father, ignored Mandy, and curtsied to Alpha Jack and Luna Kelly before taking her position in front of Matthew. Lily kept a calm expression, but Matthew could see the fury in Lily's eyes. <br /> "Lily, I..." Matthew started, but she raised her hand, stopping him. <br /> Lily gave her hand to Jack and nodded to him. Jack smirked. This little female had sass. It was a shame that she was not an Alpha. Jack took the ceremonial blade and cut her palm. Matthew gave his hand to Kenneth, and he cut Matthew's hand. <br /> "I... I..." Matthew stammered. He found that he could not bring himself to say the words. Everything in him told him it was wrong. "Father, I can't. I..."<br /> "I, Lily Bray, the first-born daughter of Alpha Kenneth Bray, and my wolf, Dina, reject you, Matthew Hunter, the first-born son of Kenneth Hunter, and your wolf Baldur for your betrayal of our mate bond with my sister, Brandy," Lily said firmly as she grabbed Matthew's hand. "Do you accept?"<br /> There were gasps and murmurs from the audience, as no female in history has willingly rejected their mate. It was such a scandalous affair as both sets of parents wanted to keep it hushed that Matthew had been cheating, which was partly why the rejection ceremony was happening. <br /> Lily wasn't having any of it. They wanted to embarrass her publicly, so she wanted everyone to know the truth.<br /> "I... Matthew Hunter, the first-born son of Kenneth Hunter...accept your rejection," Matthew managed to say. As soon as the words left his mouth, he could feel their mate bond fully snap. Baldur howled in anguish within him as his bond with Dina snapped away even though he refused to accept the rejection. <br /> Lily fought the urge to collapse there on the stage. She welcomed the pain, embraced it as this was nothing compared to the anguish she felt over the betrayal. "I wish Matthew and Brandy well with their upcoming mating ceremony," Lily finally said. She turned to leave but was stopped by Brandy's grip on her wrist. <br /> "We accept your blessings dear sister. We hope to see you at our mating ceremony as I won't be able to go through with it if you aren't there by my side," Brandy said with a smug smile, wanting to see Lily lose her composure. <br /> Lily resisted the urge to scream at Brandy and punch her in the face. She kept her face calm and relaxed despite an eye twitch. Lily pulled her wrist free before grabbing her hand with her bloodied hand. <br /> Lily looked deep into Brandy's eyes trying to convey the hatred and anger she felt for her through her eyes. It didn't go unnoticed that Brandy stepped back due to the intensity of Lily's gaze. "Of course, Brandy. I wouldn't miss it for the world," Lily answered before removing her hand from hers. With another curtsy, Lily left the entertainment hall. She didn't collapse into tears until she reached her bedroom.<br /> "Dad! You can't be serious!" Lily exclaimed as she was dragged down the hallway by her father. <br /> After the rejection ceremony, Lily stayed in her room to mourn the loss of her mating bond for two days. She prayed and begged the Moon Goddess for forgiveness. Lily never wanted to do this, but she didn't have a choice. She couldn't be tied to an unfaithful mate for the rest of her life. <br /> On the second night, her father, Kenneth, kicked the door in to drag her out. Because Garrett didn't attend the rejection ceremony, Kenneth was bent on Lily being bonded to Garrett immediately. <br /> After receiving a phone call that Garrett was back from a business trip and was staying at the Blueberry Suites, Kenneth knew that he had to get Lily to him. He forced her to go to the pack doctor to have every test done to show that she was still pure and genetically tested to show she had no defects before getting her ready to go to the hotel. <br /> "You shut up!" Kenneth exclaimed. "Do you know how your little stunt made us seem to the other packs?"<br /> "You look powerful and smart, right? That's what you wanted!" Lily snapped back and Kenneth slapped her. <br /> "You embarrassed us! You wore your wedding dress. You were supposed to be the regretful mate, not an over zealous harlot!" Kenneth raged. <br /> "Harlot? I'm the harlot? Of course, you wouldn't talk bad about your dear daughter Brandy," Lily retorted. <br /> Kenneth slapped her again and Lily growled in warning at him. "Don't you dare! You're not stupid. You should have known better. No Alpha will want an Omega. Because of your antics, Brandy can't even use your dress. By ensuring your bond to Garrett, Alpha Jack promises to pay for everything," Kenneth retorted. <br /> "What about what I want? You got what you wanted! Brandy will be Matthew's Luna! Why must you do this to me? You could disown me. You could expel me from the pack!" Lily asked as she was brought to a door. She should've taken her friend up on her offer to go out of state with her for the holidays. Perhaps she would've been able to avoid all of this.<br /> "You made your decisions and I have made mine. Maybe if you hadn't tried to keep your money from me, this wouldn't be happening. Your little stunt didn't work," Kenneth sneered. <br /> "No! That money doesn't belong to you! I worked so hard..." <br /> "You have no say! You only received privileges because you are my daughter. You hold no value. You are a tool and nothing else. The quicker you understand that, the better off you'll be!" Kenneth snapped, cutting Lily off. He pried the jacket off his daughter, revealing her attire: a silky white camisole. "Hopefully, he'll teach you how to behave and know your place in the world."<br /> For the first time in her life, she wanted to physically harm her father. Lily wanted to shift and maul her father, but she was still too weak from the broken mate bond. She was helpless as Kenneth opened the door to the room and shoved her inside, causing her to fall hard on her butt. Her father slammed the door in her face, locking it behind him. <br /> Lily beat on the door when she realized she couldn't open it. 'Calm down Lily. Let's see if there is another way we can get out,' Dina said. Lily nodded and began to explore the room.<br /> The room was decorated with honey hues, for they gave a sense of home away from home, of a place of nurturing safety. However, Lily didn't feel safe at all. She felt like her whole world had been turned upside down. <br /> Tonight was her engagement night as her father explained it. It was more like she was being offered up on a silver platter to a predator.<br /> When she realized the windows were locked and couldn't break them, Lily quickly turned the lights off and sat down on the bed. The room was now pitch black and eerily quiet. The only sound that could be heard was the fan that was hiding Lily's rapid breathing. Lily lay stiffly on the bed, feeling like her body was under a spell. She was unable to move. <br /> Lily heard the door opening, and light entered the room, blinding her for a moment. She closed her eyes in fright, afraid of what would happen next.

His son, Matthew, will become the new Alpha in a few months. His father and I have agreed that Matthew needs to have a strong mate by his side to lead the pack successfully," Lily's father explained, "And that is not you." <br /> Lily felt as if her whole world had been turned upside down. She didn't know if she wanted to scream or cry. How could they make this decision for her?<br /> "In three days, you will attend the Rejection Ceremony. Then in a week, you will have a mating ceremony with someone more on your level, his brother, Garrett Hunter."<br /> Garrett? Garrett Hunter?? The disfigured, rejected brother of Matthew? How could they force me to reject my fated mate and then mate to his ruthless brother?!<br /> ————————<br /> Lily stared in horror at her father. She couldn't make sense of what he was saying. Why would Matthew reject her? When they talked on the phone all day, he never mentioned it.<br /> "You're joking," Lily said. "You have to be joking." <br /> Her father scowled at her because he disliked repeating himself. He paused for a moment to collect himself before saying, "This is no joke. You will be marrying Garrett Hunter."<br /> When Lily heard her father say those words, her heart sank. "I am his fated mate. We're meant to be together. Why would he want to reject me? There must be a mistake!"<br /> "Lily, you're an omega. No respectable Alpha would want you as their Luna. We're saving you the agony of having to deal with your mate having a mistress," her mother explained, "and it's not like you won't have a mate."<br /> "It's what you deserve, Lily. Garrett is perfect for you," Brandy said smugly. <br /> Garrett? Garrett Hunter?? The disfigured, rejected brother of Matthew? This had to be some sort of joke. They couldn't possibly be serious. But her parents were not laughing.<br /> Lily slid her seat back and stood up. She ran back to her room, slamming the door behind her. Brandy stood up to bring her back downstairs, but her mother stopped her.<br /> "Leave her alone. There is nowhere she can go. This is something she must accept," her mother stated.<br /> "Pick up the phone, Matthew. Come on!" Lily murmured as she dialed his number for the tenth time. It just rang again and again until it went to voicemail. Lily didn't bother leaving another voicemail because she had already left five.<br /> Lily sighed in frustration and tossed her phone to the floor before pacing the room. Why would her parents subject her to such cruelty? Wasn't it enough that they treated her like trash because she was an omega? But now they were going to take this away from her as well?!<br /> Lily nearly crashed into the wall to get to her phone when it buzzed on the bed. Her heart sank again when she realized it was Tiffany, not Matthew, calling. Lily answered the phone.<br /> "Hey girlie! It has been hours. What was the dinner about? Are you..." Tiffany started.<br /> Lily interjected and said, "Can I come over? I can't stay here. Please say yes."<br /> Hearing her tone, Tiffany became serious and asked, "What's wrong? Your sister is bothering you again?"<br /> "No. It's much worse. Please tell me I can come over," Lily pleaded.<br /> "Yes, you can come. I am not leaving for my parents' until tomorrow. Where are you? I can come to get you," Tiffany offered.<br /> "No. I will come to you," Lily said, "Thank you." She quickly hung up the phone. Lily went to her closet and grabbed an overnight bag. She yanked her dress off and changed into a t-shirt and workout pants.<br /> Lily then began packing items she didn't want to lose and enough clothes to get her through the holidays. She had no intention of coming back here.<br /> The door to her bedroom swung open, causing Lily to jump. She turned to see Mira, one of the omegas working in the kitchen. Mira placed her finger on her lips before she slowly closed the door behind her.<br /> "They told you," Mira said. It was more of a statement than a question. It made Lily sick to her stomach. Everyone had been smiling in her face. Did everyone but her know? It was humiliating that this was kept from her. "I was commanded not to tell you. I really wanted to."<br /> "It's fine, Mira. I know you wouldn't betray me," Lily responded. It would be physically impossible for Mira to go against a command. Perhaps if she were a Gamma or even a Beta, but as an Omega, the pain of it would have killed her wolf, which would've killed her.<br /> "I won't let them force me," Lily declared. "I can't let them take one of the only things that have made me happy."<br /> Mira and Lily grew very close growing up. As they were both omegas and Lily was excluded from high-ranking wolf activities, she spent most of her time with Mira. Mira's father, the pack doctor, was the reason she wanted to become a doctor in the first place.<br /> "Then, let me help you," Mira said, "I can get you out of here. They planned to leave you alone for the rest of the weekend."<br /> "You can't. If they find out..."<br /> "They'll assume I helped you even if I didn't. I'll be beaten no matter what, but I won't die," Mira countered, interrupting her. "Dad is already outside with a car to take you wherever you want to go."<br /> Lily hugged Mira tightly. Mira smiled slightly, wanting to go with her, but she was bound to the pack grounds. Leaving or even going rogue would harm her father's position in the pack. She couldn't risk it.<br /> "Thank you, Mira," Lily said.<br /> Tiffany opened her front door to see Lily standing like a beat dog in her doorway. Lily waved to the car that drove away. Tiffany pulled her into her home and quickly closed the door. Lily immediately began sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> "Lily, what's going on? What happened?" Tiffany asked, leading her to the sofa. She had already prepared Lily's favorite meal as well as hot cocoa.<br /> "They are trying to force me into a rejection ceremony," Lily managed to say.<br /> "What? Why? They can't do that. It'd be spitting in the Goddess' face. You could end up cursed or worse," Tiffany exclaimed.<br /> "They don't care. They don't think I'd be a fit for him because I'm an omega," Lily stated.<br /> "That's not up to them. That's up to the Goddess, and the Goddess wants you and Matthew to be together," Tiffany stated.<br /> "They don't see it that way. They..." Lily stopped in mid sentence as a horrible pain gripped her chest. She gasped as she clutched her chest and tried to slow her breathing.<br /> "Lily? Is it one of your panic attacks?" Tiffany asked.<br /> Lily could only nod, unable to speak as she concentrated on breathing as the pain radiated through her. She suffered from panic attacks for a long time. Lily assumed it was because of stress. It would eventually fade, thanks to Dina's assistance.<br /> Lily gasped in relief as the pain began to fade, and she said, "I'm okay now."<br /> "You need to speak with Matthew. You two can elope, and they won't be able to do anything about it,"<br /> "Elope?"<br /> --<br /> "Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?" Tiffany asked as she walked Lily out of her apartment. She didn't want to leave her in such a terrible situation.<br /> "No, I need to do this alone," Lily answered with a weak smile. She couldn't get in contact with Matthew all night. Lily needed to speak with him. Whatever happened between her and Matthew, she would have to deal with it alone. Lily didn't want to get her too caught up in her family drama.<br /> "Well, you know where my spare key is," Tiffany said.<br /> "Don't worry about me. I'll be okay. Matthew and I will elope, and everything will be fine," Lily said.<br /> Tiffany smiled slightly, but Lily noticed that her eyes looked somewhat sad. She had known Tiffany long enough to know that she was holding back. Before Lily could ask Tiffany what she was thinking, Lily's cab arrived.<br /> Tiffany hugged her again and said, "Keep me updated. You know my parents will accept you with open arms. They said the offer is still open if you want to join my pack."<br /> Lily nodded and got into the cab. She waved goodbye before telling the cab driver, "10 Armstead Place." The cab driver nodded and drove off.<br /> The drive didn't take long. All the while, she could feel a stabbing pain in her chance. It was another anxiety attack. She had never felt so bad before.<br /> "Ma'am, are you okay?" the cab driver asked, noticing her distress.<br /> "Yes, I am fine. Thank you," Lily answered. "Just having a little panic attack, I think."<br /> 'It's the stress,' Dina said to her. 'I am doing everything I can to dull it. I can't reach Baldur. I don't know why he isn't responding to me. Do you think our father or maybe his father did something?'<br /> Baldur was Matthew's wolf. He was as happy as Dina when they learned that they were mates. As much as Lily and Matthew talked on the phone, Dina and Baldur communicated more telepathically.<br /> 'It could be. I can't believe it. I don't want to believe that Matthew would agree to this. Maybe he is cutting off all communication because he doesn't want anyone to find him. No one knows about his apartment in the city,' Lily responded.<br /> The city was a neutral zone for all supernatural creatures. Pack hierarchy or mutual dislike of different races wasn't tolerated here. The elders made it a point that all supernatural children grew up aware of others to squash any ignorance. It was a good idea in theory, but many outside factors were at play. People couldn't help but judge one another.<br /> "We're here," the cab driver said, bringing Lily out of her thoughts. She pulled out $40 from her wallet and said, "Keep the change." She got out of the car and rushed up the steps to Matthew's apartment.<br /> Lily had been there more than once over the weekend. Her family never knew when she was home, and she wanted to keep it that way. When it would get bad at home, Matthew was a reprieve for her as Lily didn't want to have to deal with her family any more than she had to.<br /> Lily quickly grabbed the spare key under the mat and opened the door. She stepped into his apartment, and the pain seemed to intensify. Lily gripped her chest and almost fell face-first into the carpet. She used the wall to move further into his apartment.<br /> There was a smell that she couldn't quite place. It made her hackles rise. She felt angry for no reason.<br /> 'Find him now,' Dina growled within her.<br /> 'What's wrong?' Lily asked, but Dina only responded with a growl.<br /> "Oh, Matthew! Pull my hair!"<br /> An all-too-familiar voice broke the silence, and Lily could now hear the slapping of skin. As she approached his bedroom, it became increasingly louder. Lily swallowed hard as she tried to process what she was hearing and what she didn't want to believe was happening. Lily's hand shivered as she was about to place her hand on the door.<br /> 'We must see this,' Dina growled. 'Open the door.'<br /> Lily slowly pushed open the door. There in front of her was Brandy and her sister having intercourse.<br /> The anxiety attacks, the waves of pain were Matthew having intercourse with her.<br /> Lily was almost catatonic as she watched the betrayal before her eyes. This was supposed to be her. She had waited years for him, and here he was having intercourse with this bimbo in front of her.<br /> Lily gripped the side of the door frame, her claws going straight through as she tried to compose herself. The sudden movement caused Matthew to look up. His eyes widened in surprise when he saw her.<br /> "Oh hello, sister. Did you enjoy the show?" Brandy mocked as Lily walked into the room. Lily said nothing as she approached Brandy. With all her might, Lily slapped Brandy hard enough to send her into the headboard.<br /> "You bimbo!" Brandy yelled as she gripped her head in pain. Lily slapped her again before Matthew caught her wrist. She used her other hand to slap Matthew across the face with strength she didn't know she had. Her claws left gashes on the side of his face.<br /> "Lily?!" Matthew exclaimed.<br /> "Don't ever speak to us, you filthy dog," Lily growled out. Her eyes were silver as it was Dina now talking. "All this time, you betrayed us for this bimbo!"<br /> "You have to understand, Lily. I didn't have a choice. I..."<br /> "Enough of your lies! I will go through with the rejection ceremony. We can do it tonight because I want to be rid of you. I'll take whatever curse the Goddess dishes out!" Lily screamed before storming out, leaving the door wide open.<br /> --<br /> "Don't you think that is inappropriate?" Kenneth asked his Luna from the doorway of their bedroom. <br /> "Not at all. It is a joyous occasion," Mandy said as she applied burgundy lipstick and stood up. She brushed the wrinkles out of her blue sweater dress as she looked herself over in the mirror before approaching him with a slight smile. "You should change. That suit is so depressing."<br /> "The suit is proper attire for the custom. You shouldn't take this much glee in her suffering," Kenneth responded, causing Mandy to frown. <br /> Mandy scoffed and said, "Don't try to act like you care about the little brat now. Don't be a hypocrite. You could care less and this arrangement will benefit the both of us."<br /> "At least make it believable in front of the Hunters," Kenneth reasoned. Mandy rolled her eyes. Of course she would behave. What kind of idiot did he take her for?<br /> "Come. You wouldn't want to keep Lily waiting," Mandy said condescendingly. <br /> Again, Kenneth didn't respond and followed Mandy to the entertainment hall. Both packs were in attendance. Both acknowledged their presence, showing their necks to them both. <br /> Alpha Jack and Luna Kelly looked agitated by the entire situation. The Luna of Grey Blood Pack was very against the rejection ceremony. However, she didn't have much say in the situation since both Alphas agreed to it. <br /> "Where is she?" Kenneth asked one of the omegas that were serving spirits. <br /> "She is coming, my Alpha. We are watching her closely. There is no chance she will run away again," the omega answered. <br /> Kenneth nodded and walked to the stage with Jack following behind him. He took a spoon to his spirits glass to get everyone's attention. <br /> "Thank you for joining us here tonight to celebrate the union of two great packs," Kenneth began and turned to Jack, "It is an honor that our packs will be united." <br /> "Yes, we look forward to our unified strength," Jack nodded. <br /> "Lily, Brandy, and Matthew Hunter, please come up here," Kenneth said. <br /> Brandy quickly came to greet her father. Kenneth frowned at her attire as he reluctantly hugged her. She was always scantily clad, even after telling her to dress appropriately for the occasion. <br /> 'Like mother, like daughter,' Kenneth's wolf, Jasper, said before growling in irritation at seeing Matthew. Kenneth had recently learned that Matthew had been sleeping with Brandy behind Lily's back. As a father and a believer of old customs, he wanted to choke him, but it was better this way. At least one of his daughters would be a proper Luna.<br /> 'We should tear his throat out for humiliating Lily,' Jasper growled.<br /> 'Calm down,' Kenneth told him.<br /> 'You're a pathetic father,' Jasper responded before blocking himself from Kenneth like he always did. <br /> After a few minutes, Lily did not show. Kenneth frowned and he spoke over the microphone, "Where is Lily? Bring her here!" He didn't need her defying him in front of both packs. This union had to happen. <br /> "I am here, father!"<br /> Matthew stood on the stage awkwardly. He didn't expect that both packs would be here for this. Matthew assumed that this would be a private affair, but he knew his mother had to have had a hand in this. <br /> Kelly had been horrified and disappointed in Matthew when she discovered that Matthew had been sleeping with Lily's little sister. No one in their line had ever denied the Moon Goddess' will up until now. The only thing that calmed her was that Lily would still marry into the pack. <br /> Matthew didn't really want to be mated with Brandy. He just wanted to have fun before he was forever bound to Lily. However, he understood why his father wanted him to mate Mandy instead. An Alpha had to be seen as strong. A weak Luna was a liability. He could not rule a pack with an omega Luna.<br /> 'It is not the right choice!' Baldur growled within him. 'Why did the Moon Goddess curse me to be bonded to you until death? She is meant for us! You know it!'<br /> 'There is nothing we can do now. It is done,' Matthew responded.<br /> 'You fool. You're going to regret this.' Baldur warned before Matthew suppressed him again like he always did when he didn't want to hear what he had to say. <br /> After Kenneth and his father Jack's speech, there was a pause as they waited for Lily to appear. She had not shown up, which infuriated Kenneth. As he demanded to know where Lily was, her voice rang out. <br /> "I am here, father!"<br /> Lily emerged from the crowd, taking Matthew's breath away. There were murmurs from the crowd as they watched Lily. She wore a simple form-fitting strapless white dress with an overlay of lace. Her hair was pulled up in a bun, and a white veil covered her face. Lily wore her wedding dress to the rejection ceremony. <br /> When she got to the stage, she hugged her father, ignored Mandy, and curtsied to Alpha Jack and Luna Kelly before taking her position in front of Matthew. Lily kept a calm expression, but Matthew could see the fury in Lily's eyes. <br /> "Lily, I..." Matthew started, but she raised her hand, stopping him. <br /> Lily gave her hand to Jack and nodded to him. Jack smirked. This little female had sass. It was a shame that she was not an Alpha. Jack took the ceremonial blade and cut her palm. Matthew gave his hand to Kenneth, and he cut Matthew's hand. <br /> "I... I..." Matthew stammered. He found that he could not bring himself to say the words. Everything in him told him it was wrong. "Father, I can't. I..."<br /> "I, Lily Bray, the first-born daughter of Alpha Kenneth Bray, and my wolf, Dina, reject you, Matthew Hunter, the first-born son of Kenneth Hunter, and your wolf Baldur for your betrayal of our mate bond with my sister, Brandy," Lily said firmly as she grabbed Matthew's hand. "Do you accept?"<br /> There were gasps and murmurs from the audience, as no female in history has willingly rejected their mate. It was such a scandalous affair as both sets of parents wanted to keep it hushed that Matthew had been cheating, which was partly why the rejection ceremony was happening. <br /> Lily wasn't having any of it. They wanted to embarrass her publicly, so she wanted everyone to know the truth.<br /> "I... Matthew Hunter, the first-born son of Kenneth Hunter...accept your rejection," Matthew managed to say. As soon as the words left his mouth, he could feel their mate bond fully snap. Baldur howled in anguish within him as his bond with Dina snapped away even though he refused to accept the rejection. <br /> Lily fought the urge to collapse there on the stage. She welcomed the pain, embraced it as this was nothing compared to the anguish she felt over the betrayal. "I wish Matthew and Brandy well with their upcoming mating ceremony," Lily finally said. She turned to leave but was stopped by Brandy's grip on her wrist. <br /> "We accept your blessings dear sister. We hope to see you at our mating ceremony as I won't be able to go through with it if you aren't there by my side," Brandy said with a smug smile, wanting to see Lily lose her composure. <br /> Lily resisted the urge to scream at Brandy and punch her in the face. She kept her face calm and relaxed despite an eye twitch. Lily pulled her wrist free before grabbing her hand with her bloodied hand. <br /> Lily looked deep into Brandy's eyes trying to convey the hatred and anger she felt for her through her eyes. It didn't go unnoticed that Brandy stepped back due to the intensity of Lily's gaze. "Of course, Brandy. I wouldn't miss it for the world," Lily answered before removing her hand from hers. With another curtsy, Lily left the entertainment hall. She didn't collapse into tears until she reached her bedroom.<br /> "Dad! You can't be serious!" Lily exclaimed as she was dragged down the hallway by her father. <br /> After the rejection ceremony, Lily stayed in her room to mourn the loss of her mating bond for two days. She prayed and begged the Moon Goddess for forgiveness. Lily never wanted to do this, but she didn't have a choice. She couldn't be tied to an unfaithful mate for the rest of her life. <br /> On the second night, her father, Kenneth, kicked the door in to drag her out. Because Garrett didn't attend the rejection ceremony, Kenneth was bent on Lily being bonded to Garrett immediately. <br /> After receiving a phone call that Garrett was back from a business trip and was staying at the Blueberry Suites, Kenneth knew that he had to get Lily to him. He forced her to go to the pack doctor to have every test done to show that she was still pure and genetically tested to show she had no defects before getting her ready to go to the hotel. <br /> "You shut up!" Kenneth exclaimed. "Do you know how your little stunt made us seem to the other packs?"<br /> "You look powerful and smart, right? That's what you wanted!" Lily snapped back and Kenneth slapped her. <br /> "You embarrassed us! You wore your wedding dress. You were supposed to be the regretful mate, not an over zealous harlot!" Kenneth raged. <br /> "Harlot? I'm the harlot? Of course, you wouldn't talk bad about your dear daughter Brandy," Lily retorted. <br /> Kenneth slapped her again and Lily growled in warning at him. "Don't you dare! You're not stupid. You should have known better. No Alpha will want an Omega. Because of your antics, Brandy can't even use your dress. By ensuring your bond to Garrett, Alpha Jack promises to pay for everything," Kenneth retorted. <br /> "What about what I want? You got what you wanted! Brandy will be Matthew's Luna! Why must you do this to me? You could disown me. You could expel me from the pack!" Lily asked as she was brought to a door. She should've taken her friend up on her offer to go out of state with her for the holidays. Perhaps she would've been able to avoid all of this.<br /> "You made your decisions and I have made mine. Maybe if you hadn't tried to keep your money from me, this wouldn't be happening. Your little stunt didn't work," Kenneth sneered. <br /> "No! That money doesn't belong to you! I worked so hard..." <br /> "You have no say! You only received privileges because you are my daughter. You hold no value. You are a tool and nothing else. The quicker you understand that, the better off you'll be!" Kenneth snapped, cutting Lily off. He pried the jacket off his daughter, revealing her attire: a silky white camisole. "Hopefully, he'll teach you how to behave and know your place in the world."<br /> For the first time in her life, she wanted to physically harm her father. Lily wanted to shift and maul her father, but she was still too weak from the broken mate bond. She was helpless as Kenneth opened the door to the room and shoved her inside, causing her to fall hard on her butt. Her father slammed the door in her face, locking it behind him. <br /> Lily beat on the door when she realized she couldn't open it. 'Calm down Lily. Let's see if there is another way we can get out,' Dina said. Lily nodded and began to explore the room.<br /> The room was decorated with honey hues, for they gave a sense of home away from home, of a place of nurturing safety. However, Lily didn't feel safe at all. She felt like her whole world had been turned upside down. <br /> Tonight was her engagement night as her father explained it. It was more like she was being offered up on a silver platter to a predator.<br /> When she realized the windows were locked and couldn't break them, Lily quickly turned the lights off and sat down on the bed. The room was now pitch black and eerily quiet. The only sound that could be heard was the fan that was hiding Lily's rapid breathing. Lily lay stiffly on the bed, feeling like her body was under a spell. She was unable to move. <br /> Lily heard the door opening, and light entered the room, blinding her for a moment. She closed her eyes in fright, afraid of what would happen next.

Although other people in the pack often bully me, if Calvin is around, I can persevere. On that day, Calvin's birthday, I found out that he had an affair with my sister, and I decided to leave the pack. Just as I was about to leave, Alpha King came to our pack, and he captured everyone.<br /> "You want her? She's a human!"<br /> The king released a roar that made every member of the pack flinch and drop their heads lower in submission. With my face only a few inches from the ground, I watched with terror as the king moved away from me and stood before my biggest bully Kate. <br /> The greater distance between us allowed me to see more of him. He was larger than the other Lycans, his body covered in knotted scars that were visible beneath his fur.<br /> His claw was the size of Kate's head as he punched it through her ch#st, ripping her heart out the other side and sending the pack into a flurry of sobs and terrified mumblings for mercy.<br /> "You will do well to teach your pack to respect those above them." The witch's voice called out again, but I was trapped staring at Kate's body as the king pulled his hand out, and it fell to the ground.<br /> I was aware of him walking back to me, but I couldn’t take my eyes away. It was the large hand that grabbed me by my backpack and lifted me off the ground like a doll that brought me back to reality, and I instinctively met the glowing red eyes of the Lycan King.<br /> His deep voice sent a chill through me as he spoke, "Mine."<br /> ---<br /> Janet's P.O.V.<br /> <br /> I felt uneasy as soon as I entered the pack house. The way my pack mates were smirking at me, laughing behind their hands... I knew they were up to something. Their pranks and bullying had been getting worse and more painful each time they managed to get me alone. My bruises still hadn't gone away from the last time.<br /> <br /> My body ached from the beating I had taken two days ago, but I was only a few hours away from it all ending.<br /> <br /> I just needed to get to Calvin before they set their plan into motion.<br /> <br /> Calvin was my boyfriend of four years. He was the only one that cared for me, and the only one I could trust.<br /> <br /> We were high school sweethearts. He was also the next in line to become the Alpha of our pack. That didn't matter to me, but it did matter to the other women in the pack. They hated that he was with me. They felt that they deserved a stronger Luna than I would be, and they all wanted to be his chosen one.<br /> <br /> I hadn't even shifted yet. To them, I was no more than an omega...a runt as they liked to call me, the weakest of the litter.<br /> <br /> It should have happened three years ago when I turned sixteen, but it didn't. Now I was nineteen, the age at which we could recognize our mates as our wolves should have matured by then. Had I shifted, I would have known Calvin was my mate already, but we had to wait the extra two months until today, his nineteenth birthday, for him to recognize me as his mate.<br /> <br /> Calvin didn't care that I hadn't turned. We had been together since before either of us were old enough to shift, and we were both positive that we were mates. He stood by me and protected me from the cruelty of the wolves around us when I failed to shift with the others.<br /> <br /> 'Calvin? Where are you?' I asked through our pack link but received no response.<br /> <br /> "Poor little human, you have a lot of guts to show up here right now. Do you have any idea how happy the pack is? Having you here will just ruin it. This party is for pack wolves only." Kate, my sister's best friend, said as the crowd parted for her, and the music stopped. All of the party guests stopped dancing and talking to watch as the biggest bully in the pack approached me.<br /> <br /> The flashing lights of varying colors continued in the uncomfortable silence.<br /> <br /> I hoped the man of the hour would see the disruption and step forward to my side, but he didn't. As I glanced around at all of the amused faces, he was nowhere to be seen.<br /> <br /> "Calvin invited me. I am in this pack, and I'm allowed to be here." I whispered, but I could feel the heat building in the back of my eyes as they all laughed again. Something was going on, and it was more than just Kate running her big mouth.<br /> <br /> "Even he doesn't want you here." She sneered before smiling at me widely. "See for yourself. Where is Calvin, hm? I think he went up to his room. You should go bring him back down to the party and see what he has to say."<br /> <br /> I held his present against my chest tighter as I narrowed my eyes. She was up to something, but I wanted to get to Calvin more than I wanted to deal with her b##lsh!t.<br /> <br /> As I took a step forward, Kate stepped to the side, and I could feel everyone watching me with amusement as I went up the stairs.<br /> <br /> Calvin's room was at the end of the hall behind double doors, and I rushed toward it. I could hear people coming up the stairs behind me, no doubt being led by Kate, but my salvation was only a few feet away.<br /> <br /> As soon as I got in his room, I could close the door and act as if none of them existed.<br /> <br /> It would just be the two of us.<br /> <br /> There was a stirring in the back of my mind as I wrapped my hand around the cold doorknob. It was a warning, telling me not to go inside. It wanted me to turn around and run, knowing this was a trap. Yet, I turned the knob anyway and pushed the door open.<br /> <br /> The loud moan of the female beneath my boyfriend made me freeze, and I stared wide-eyed at the couple tangled together. <br /> <br /> Calvin thr#st into her quickly, releasing his own groans of pleasure.<br /> <br /> My stomach tied in a knot, and it felt hard to breathe. The small spark of light in my life was extinguished, sending my mind into complete darkness as I processed what I was seeing.<br /> <br /> He lifted his head, meeting my tear-streaked face, but not seeing me as his wolf was in control. His canines extended just before he latched onto her neck, puncturing the skin and marking her as his mate.<br /> <br /> My sister.<br /> <br /> "No," I whispered as my hand covered my mouth. Calvin pulled back snarling at the disruption.<br /> <br /> "I told you he didn't want you," Kate whispered into my ear, and my sister laughed from beneath my boyfriend as she reached up and ran her hand through Calvin's short blonde hair.<br /> <br /> "Would you mind closing the door, Janet?" Kelly asked innocently, but the malicious look in her narrowed eyes showed she was pleased by her victory over me. Not only had she stolen the love of my life, but she was now to be his Luna. "I'm trying to have a private moment with my mate."<br /> <br /> Mate.<br /> <br /> The word seemed so empty now. Calvin had hated Kelly. He had watched how mean she was toward me and resented her. Now, he was baring his teeth at me, defending her.<br /> <br /> "How could you?" I choked out as a sob wracked through my ch#st, and the present in my hold dropped to the floor before me. The sudden and loud noise seemed to snap Calvin back into control, and his eyes returned to their normal brown.<br /> <br /> His jaw dropped open as he glanced from me to my sister with guilt, but he didn't look the least bit regretful. He was happy to have found and marked his mate, he only hated that he had been caught cheating. The torn look on his face only made me angrier as he gasped my name while he pulled out of my sister. She sat up as he climbed to his feet, neither of them ashamed to be seen n@#ed.<br /> <br /> "Janet, I…" He said, stepping forward and causing me to take a step away, only to be pushed back toward him by the crowd of on-lookers.<br /> <br /> I stumbled forward, trying to stay as far away from him as possible.<br /> <br /> The steady stream of tears blurred my vision, and my ch#st hurt as he whispered my name again. "Janet…She’s, my mate." He finally announced, causing the house to cheer in celebration that their future Luna had been claimed.

I command Adam using all my Luna force.<br /> "I, Alpha Adam Hawkins, Alpha of the Red Blood Pack, I reject you, Lexie Banks, as my mate!" and giving her a serious look he commands her "Accept my rejection!"<br /> In the last life, I've been Luna since I married Adam and even if we were not fated mates I've done my job in the interest of this pack outstandingly. But finally, Lexie tortured me, Adam killed me.<br /> This time is only about me and about surviving, so screw you Lexie Banks, Adam Hawkins and Red Blood Pack! I had enough of you! <br /> "I want to divorce" I say and I can't believe that I am saying this but this is what I want.<br /> "I want to divorce!"<br /> ————————<br /> I lift my face and I look directly into my abuser eyes. I know him and he knows me. He knows that I am his Luna. We grew up together and he swore his oath to me three years ago and now he is whipping me like I am some kind of criminal?<br /> "Why are you beating me?" I say trying to look at his with dignity.<br /> "I asked you something, Bill?" I say again trying to support myself in my arms as I am kneeled on the ground of my cell.<br /> "What harm have I ever done to be treated like this?"<br /> But Bill throws me a furious gaze:<br /> "You know what you have done!" and out of nowhere another whip comes on my back ripping my flesh.<br /> "Kelly..."I whisper to my wolf and my head falls between my arms hitting the ground.<br /> "Kelly it hurts too much..." and my tears started to flow on my cheeks even if I tried, I really tried to resist and be brave but I can't do it anymore so I lean on the floor.<br /> "Can you help me, Kelly? Can you heal me?" I ask my wolf.<br /> "I want to, Natalie" she groans in pain.<br /> "but I can't do it anymore. I am too weak. He is beating us for hours" andI can hear her howls. She is begging the gods for help. Where is my Goddess right now? I don't deserve this.<br /> "Please" I whisper and try again to lift my head.<br /> "What is going on, Bill? Whatever is happening here you must know that it is just a misunderstanding. " and I placed my head on the ground so I could watch him as I spoke to him.<br /> "You fooled!" Bill growls at me.<br /> "You made us think that you are a good woman but you are just a malicious woman with no heart" and he lifts his arm in the air to hit me again.<br /> I know I can't escape from this. He even gave me wolfsbane so I could become weak and submit to him. I have no chance. I have no power in this.<br /> "I swear to you, Bill" I say in a whisper "I have no idea what are you talking about.."<br /> "Then how is it that her pup is dead,huh?" Bill asks and slaps me hard over my face "How is that our little Alpha is dead?"<br /> WHAT? What little Alpha? Who is dead?<br /> "Don't look at me as if you have no idea what is going on!" he says and slaps me. "You killed Lexie's baby! Our pack's heir!"<br /> Lexie's unborn pup is dead?<br /> "I didn't do it!" I scream with all the strength that was left in me. I would never do that!<br /> "I didn't touch her! It is not my fault if she aborted her pup!" I tell him and now my heart started to beat faster and faster.<br /> You might think that there is a problem,talking about another woman's pup as the pack's heir as I am Luna and the legal wife of Adam Hawkins, the Alpha of Red Blood Pack but there is more than that.<br /> I may be his Luna, but I am infertile and for three years all he wanted was to have an heir. And his fated mate gave it to him what I couldn't.<br /> I have no idea why the Moon Goddess made me infertile, but this is the way I am.<br /> But why are they accusing me of killing her pup? I have nothing to do with that.<br /> "Stop looking at me like that!" Bill suddenly growls, making me come back from my thoughts. "Stop looking at me as if you are innocent!"<br /> And I close my eyes in horror as I see the whip coming in my direction again but before he could touch me, the door opens and a hard growl comes from the frame door.<br /> "For the goddess's name, what have you done, Bill?"<br /> "What it was told to me. I made her pay for her crimes!" Bill says but in the next second he is pushed away from me by Philip McNeil, our beta. I can barely see Bill because of the blood that flows down my face, but he falls to the ground close to me.<br /> But what is making my soul jump is the scent of Adam. He is here, he will trust me. He knows me and he loves me. He knows that I would never do what Bill is accusing me. I try to look at him but before I could do it, Philip growls at Bill.<br /> "Who do you think you are to punish her? She deserves a trial. Until then no one can say if she is guilty or not!" Phillip tells him in a harsh voice,and kneels next to and looks at my wounds.<br /> "Get out of here, Bill, and don't show up again or I am strangling you for abusing your Luna!" he commands Bill.<br /> "She is not my Luna anymore!" Bill growls but he listens to Phillip and leaves my cell, leaving me alone with Adam and Philip. But why is Adam silent?<br /> "What have you done, Natalie?" Phillip whispers, looking at me with sadness.<br /> "I...did...nothing" I whisper and try to look into his eyes but I am way too weak, so I turn my face to Adam, and try to reach his gaze, but he looks at me with hatred.<br /> "Adam..."I whisper.<br /> "Lexie says that you did it" Phillip tells me and now my heart stops, but Philip's voice is not harsh anymore. He is talking to me calmly. "Everything is against you, Natalie."<br /> I look at Adam. He can't believe this. No,no, no. He must trust me, I just found out about Lexie's pup. How can I prove to them that I didn't do it?<br /> Who is gone say for me in front of Adam?<br /> Rosie!<br /> My omega must know that I wasn't in Lexie's room. She was with me all the time. She must help me. She is my only chance.<br /> "Adam" I say and this time I opened my eyes and looked directly into my mate's eyes "Please, talk with Rosie Walker. She knows that I didn't do it. She is my servant. She will stay by my side and tell you the truth. I would never touch an innocent pup, Adam. I am not that kind of person" and I burst into tears again.<br /> "I didn't do it!" I almost screamed,freaking out for the first time since this madness started.<br /> But before I could add something else the voice that I loved the most in this world mocks me hard as if he never loved me, as if I am his biggest enemy.<br /> "There is no need to tell me anything " Adam, my Alpha, my chosen mate and my husband says. "I already know what you did."<br /> What? No, this can't happen.<br /> "Love, I would never..." but the moment I said that his face became dark and coming in my direction he made me almost jump in fear.<br /> "Don't hurt me!" I screamed in horror,trying to hug my knees, and come in a fetal position as an attempt to defend myself from his hit, but my action shocked him.<br /> "What are you doing, Adam?" Phillip asks him and looks at me with strange eyes.<br /> "You are asking me that?" Adam asks furious and he is using his alpha command on him. "How do you dare to question me for this dog?" and the moment his words came out, Kelly's howls started to become louder and louder in my head. He hates us. He doesn't believe us.<br /> "Is not about betrayal, Adam" Phillip tells him "Is about giving her a chance to explain herself, to defend herself if there is something that was not spoken until now."<br /> Adam looks at me and I grab my wounded arms and wrap them around my body. I feel so cold, as the blood is flowing out of my system.<br /> "She will die soon, if you don't stop this madness" Phillip says, looking at me and that made Adam flinch. Maybe there are still a few emotions, a gram of love in his heart that it is destined for me.<br /> "I didn't do it" I whisper, trying my luck.<br /> "I would never hurt you this way, Adam"<br /> I say.<br /> I would never do that. He must know that.<br /> "But yet you did it!" Adam says in the end with some remorse in his gaze and turns his head in another direction as if he can't look at my wounded body anymore.<br /> "You were jealous of Lexie. I told you that she would never take your Luna position, but I need her to procreate. And you? What have you done? You worked on my back out of jealousy!"<br /> "I trusted you, Adam. There was no need to hurt her. I trusted you" I say and using all my strength I kneel and try to get on my feet.<br /> "You are lying!" He says turning around and pointing his index finger in my direction, looking at me with bloody eyes but I can't be weak. I need to beg him to listen to me.<br /> "You hurt my mate!" he growls at me "The mother of my pup!"<br /> His mate? HIS MATE? I can't do this anymore.<br /> "If she is your mate, what am I, Adam?" I asked him without even flinching because everything started to become clear. He loves her too even if he said he doesn't. But my question took him by surprise, because he just stares at me as if he has no idea how to answer that.<br /> "If you ever loved me even for a second"<br /> I tell him and look directly into his eyes.<br /> "I beg you, bring my servant here. Rosie knows my actions. She was with me almost all the time. She will be my witness."<br /> He is staring at me and he is doubting me.<br /> "Man she may..."Phillip starts but he is interrupted by a soft woman's voice.<br /> "She is right" and Adam turns around and almost runs to the door.<br /> "What are you doing here, Lexie?" he asks with a scared voice. "You should rest after everything you've suffered."<br /> "I wanted to see, Natalie," she whispers with the same soft voice. "I wanted to ask her why she did it".<br /> "Because she was jealous!" Adam explains to her and pulls her into his arms, making me and Kelly surfer. He marked me, he must know that he makes me suffer.<br /> "She said that she has a witness," Lexie tells him. "Maybe she is right, maybe it is all a misunderstanding" and my heart stopped.<br /> "Something is not right, Nat" Kelly whispers. "Is she defending us? Why would she do that?"<br /> "Bring her servant here" Lexie tells Adam ."I want to know if she wasn't the one who put poison in my food to abort our sweet and innocent pup." and my heart is not beating anymore.<br /> Is he going to give me a chance to defend myself? Is he going to save me from this madness? But why is Lexie helping me?<br /> "Are you sure?" he asks Lexie, without looking at me and she just nods,looking at him with puppy eyes.<br /> "I will give only one more chance,Natalie" Adam says and leaves Lexie's embrace. "For the sake of our past together" and looking at Phillip commands him.<br /> "Bring Rosie Walkers here"<br /> He did it. He gave us another chance..<br /> Even if it was not for us but for Lexie's sake, at least I have a chance to explain myself.<br /> "Did you ask for me, Alpha?" Rosie says and looking at me she lost her colors.<br /> "Luna!" she screams in horror, as she tries to reach me, but Adam stops her.<br /> "Leave her!" and using his Alpha command asks her.<br /> "Tell me the truth, Rosie. Is Natalie guilty or not for my unborn pup's death?" and that question made Rosie stop in her tracks. She is all shivering and bursts into tears.<br /> "What is going on?" I ask myself. What is with her reaction?<br /> "I command you to talk!" Adam growls at her and she looks at me and gives me devilish grin.<br /> "I am so sorry Alpha!" she busted in tears.<br /> Sorry for what? What is going on?<br /> "She forced me to do it, Alpha!" Rosie says and now I am really dead.<br /> "I didn't want to but she forced me."<br /> And Rosie kneels in front of Adam. "She used her Luna command on me and I was forced to submit to her! She commanded me to poison your fated mate!"<br /> "I never used my Luna command on anyone!" I tell him but Adam turns around and slaps me. "Please, love, please believe me!" I beg him, crying my heart out. "You know me since I was two, I would never do that!" and I grab his leg but Adam just kicks me to the ground.<br /> "Don't touch me!" he growls at me.<br /> "I love you, Adam. I would never..." but he turns his back to me and grabbing Lexie's hand he commands Phillip.<br /> "Prepare everything. Tomorrow I will execute her!"<br /> "You can't do that!" I growl at him. "This is a set up!" but he just left, dragging Lexie after him.<br /> "Just a moment," she says. "I need to ask her something." she excuses herself.<br /> "I am not leaving you alone with a criminal" Adam says and let me tell you.<br /> He is the criminal here, because he is killing me with his actions.<br /> "She can't hurt me anymore" Lexie tells him and gives him a nod. "Not now when I know the truth. Please" she begs him with her fake soft voice.<br /> "I will give you five minutes and if you are not in bed, Lexie, I swear to the goddess that I am going to beat you."<br /> he commands her but she just smiles and pecks his cheek.<br /> "I promise, my Alpha"<br /> Kelly growls "She is doing it on purpose!" and she would like to transform and kill Lexie, but she can't even heal me.<br /> "So?" Lexie asks me as soon as we are alone. "How is it to lose everything?"and she starts to laugh like crazy.<br /> "Why are you staring at me like this?"<br /> she asks me, mocking me. "You were such an easy target," she says,wrapping her arms at her chest."<br /> "You framed me out!" I told her while I supported myself on a wall so I could sit on my feet. "This is your work" I say and I know that I am right and for the first time in my life, my heart is full of hatred. I hate Lexie Banks. At this moment I even hate Adam for not believing in me, for hurting me so badly.<br /> "Of course it was my work. I saw Adam three years ago, on the day of your wedding and I knew he was my mate,but I couldn't just show up so I waited. It is said that whoever waits until the end will receive his reward, well I waited and planned everything."<br /> And she laughs at me , looking at her "Were you even pregnant?" I can't stop myself from asking but that made her stop.<br /> "Of course I was" she says "With a rogue." and she turns around and leaves but right before she exits she looks at me and says.<br /> "Now everything is right how it should be. Adam will give me your Luna position and I will get what I was looking for."<br /> "You are crazy" I said more in a whisper,but that remark made her laugh.<br /> "Oh, my dear, you have no idea what I have done to reach this point" and turning around she comes to me again and places a hand on my womb.<br /> "I must confess to you. Anyway you will die tomorrow and at this point no one will ever believe you again."<br /> Confess me what? What does she mean?<br /> "You, not being able to procreate...that is my work too."<br /> And my blood is boiling in my veins. She did something? But we have been trying for three years to have a pup, and she showed up months after our wedding.<br /> How could she.?<br /> "Rosie!" Kelly whispered. "They worked together"<br /> I must be like an opened book for her,because she started to laugh even harder.<br /> "You figured it out, didn't you?" Lexie mocks me, but I am not in the mood to hear her again and I jump on her and grab her by her neck.<br /> "Was it all because of you?"<br /> She ruined my life! I could have been happy. I could have had my happily ever after but this jerk showed up and robbed my life!<br /> "I will kill you!" I growl trying to elongate my claws and rip her head, but Lexie pushed me and made me hit the wall with my head.<br /> Everything is spinning around and I fall on my knees again and lean on the ground, without being able to support my own weight.<br /> "You are so pathetic!" Lexie laughs.<br /> "Look how weak you are!"<br /> Oh, Lexie...If I get up you will be so dead right now, but you made them give me wolfbane.<br /> "I am leaving, sorry for not being in the mood to see your weak and ugly face right now" she says. "I am going to my mate and who knows, maybe tonight we will conceive a pup!" and she leaves me there laughing her heart out.<br /> "Over my dead body!" I tell her more in a whisper.<br /> "Yeah...yeah.." she says as if she ignores me "And that will be right tomorrow. I will intercourse Adam over your dead body!"<br /> He won't do it? Isn't he? Adam will not kill me...he is my mate, my husband...<br /> but no matter how much I repeated this in my mind in the morning when the doors opened I knew that whatever I thought that I thought I knew about Adam was gone.<br /> "Take her!" Bill commands his warriors as they push me out of my cell.<br /> "Where are they taking us?" Kelly asks me scared, trying to take the command but the wolfsbane intoxicates her.<br /> "Nat!" she calls me but I can't utter a single word, he is going to do it. He is going to keep his word. The warriors throw me ugly looks and push me to walk, and I would do it but I can barely stay on my feet and then the doors open and the sun rays hit me hard.<br /> Everything hurts. My eyes are hurting because of the strong light, my skin that is all wounded feels like burning under the summer heat and my ears...oh my goddess! Is this really the pack I loved with all my heart? Is this a Red Blood Pack? Are those the same werewolves that swore faith to me or is some kind of a nightmare?<br /> "Kill her!!!!" everyone yells "She killed our pack heir! She doesn't deserve to live anymore!" and they started to throw things in my direction. Tomatoes, shoes,rocks... and none stops them.<br /> "Criminal!!!!" someone screamed from the crowd. "Kill her Alpha! I can't stand to look at her!"<br /> Well I can't stand to look at this pack either.<br /> I put so much effort in the last three years. So many nights without sleeping.<br /> Everything I did in the last years was for this pack and they want me dead? And why? Because I wasn't able to offer them an heir? I thought that working hard will compensate for my inability to convince but they just dumped me as soon as they had the opportunity to do it.<br /> I was their Luna but at the same timeI was their Alpha because Adam never cared about the pack, but about the power that comes with the Alpha position.<br /> I did everything in my power to keep this pack united. I attended all the meetings he skipped. My life was only at the service of this pack and now it is more than clear that it was all for nothing.<br /> I understood Adam in the past. I knew he was not a very social person so took the lead and I held the reins of this pack by myself, but I would have never expected that this would be the way he would reward me.<br /> He dumped me as soon as he found his fated mate, even if he said he wouldn't do it. She became the center of his ambitious plan to have an heir and even slept with her.<br /> Oh, Adam, you are so stupid!<br /> This dog is going to bury you. She fooled and played you on your fingers,just as she did it with me.<br /> After everything you have done I am just sad that I will not have the opportunity to watch your fall. Will be greater than mine.<br /> I wanted to run away hearing that Lexie is pregnant with your child. You killed me that day so now that there is nothing left I can see it clearly. Now everything was revealed.<br /> I was so stupid to will to accept that pup in my life just for you, I should have stayed for myself and ban her out of this pack. But you know what? Red Blood Pack deserves Lexie as its Luna.<br /> This will be my revenge.<br /> I walk through the crown and their insults are not affecting me anymore.<br /> They would better trust an omega than their Luna. They are just some opportunistic cowards. They are taking revenge on me for demanding high training standards, but it was all to protect them from the rogues.<br /> They really think that someone like Lexie would be a better choice for them? Just wait and watch Red Blood Pack! This woman will perish you!<br /> Maybe I exceeded my skills by taking<br /> Adam's duties but it was only for your own good.<br /> "Nat!" Suddenly Kelly whispers "The council is here!"<br /> And dad is here too. And I can see his panicked gaze, and I can see the tears that he is trying to hold. He was Adam father's beta for years and he always looked strong and unstoppable but now he looks so human, as if seeing me this way killed his heart.<br /> "I love you dad," I mindlink him and give him a straight look into his eyes, so he would know that I mean every single word I say.<br /> "Be strong," I whisper. " Be strong for me. Don't cry for me, dad. Just be the man I know you are" and would give him a smile but I can't find the strength to move my facial muscles. I can't even utter a single word.<br /> "This is not right, Natalie" he tells me and I see him coming in my direction,but I move my eyes and command him.<br /> "No dad, let him do what he puts in his mind. I can't escape from this" and I let Bill and his warriors drive me in front of the council, even if I feel my dad eyes watching me. In this crowd he is the only one who is on my side. Everyone else wants me dead.<br /> "Natalie Williams" one of the elders of the council announces. "We found you guilty for crime against you alpha and your pack"<br /> Guilty? Oh, elder, you are so wrong here!<br /> If I wouldn't be drugged I would prove to you who the real culprit is, but I can't continue talking about your nonsense.<br /> "The punishment for your crime is death!" he utters so sure of his words and I stare at the crowd that started to cheer at his words as if he just announced that they will receive more money.<br /> I turn my head and look at Adam. Adam the love of my life and also the executioner of my life. He walks in military steps and lifts the sword that the council brought for my execution.<br /> He is not even flinching. He is doing this by conviction. He wants to kill me. His inner spirit longs for my blood.<br /> "I will miss you dad" I whisper, giving my dad a last look, and I see him falling on his knees.<br /> "I will miss you Kelly" I whisper and I would like to hug my wolf if I could, to tell her that I am not mad at her for not being able to defend me, but this is above us. This is a betrayal I could never imagine that I will face.<br /> I see Adam in front of me but he is not watching me. He just lifted the sword and pierced my heart. He kicks me with his foot and makes me fall on the ground while the crowd cheers in madness , and my father collapses for good.<br /> "Kelly" I whisper, feeling dizzy. "This is it. This is the end." and my eyelashes started to flutter as I was not able not even to keep my eyes open for a few more seconds.<br /> All I could see was my blood flowing on the ground.<br /> "Stop it!"<br /> Someone said stop it? Am I hallucinating? I opened my eyes just a little bit and I could see a handsome man running in my direction. Do I know him?

I already have the papers drawn up..."<br /> I'm standing there and can't move, clutching the pregnancy test in my hands...<br /> I can't let him know that I know his plans...I need to get out of here.<br /> [A wife always knows. Sign them. Byebye.]<br /> I rub my flat belly. He can afford to wait, but my belly can't.<br /> <br /> ————————<br /> <br /> Im sitting here in shock as i sit here and look at 2 lines happiness and fear is going through me, happiness because im finally pregnant after 4 years of being married to richard and then the fear because he has never mentioned having kids with me and then there is the plan b he makes sure i take after we sleeping.<br /> I worked up enough courage to tell him and show him the pregnancy test and as im about to knock on his home office door i hear him talking in a hush tone. I told you baby im divorcing her I already have the papers drawn up in my desk you just have to give me time to break it to her and how to break it to her, yes baby our dinner plans are still on for tonight ill meet you there, i love you too and ill see you in a little bit.<br /> Im standing there and can't move clutching the pregnancy test in my hands with tears rolling down cheeks and i forced myself to move out of the front of his office door and walk to our bedroom hid the pregnancy test and jump into the shower to hide my tears. I guess I can put the blame on myself i knew who his childhood love is and i hoped that he would fall in love with me and forget about her but it doesn't look like the case and how dumb i feel.<br /> Im standing there under the water letting it hit my face and going over a plan in my head I've already made up my mind while he is gone ill pack up my stuff and sign the divorce papers in his home office then im gone. I was lost in my thoughts and didn't hear Richard get in the shower with me until i felt his arms wrap around me and pull me back into him.<br /> Showering without me are you? I felt so sick by his touch but I can't let him know that I know his plans and I need to get out of here. I went by your office and seen your door shut so I figured you was busy with work and didn't want to bother you, im never to busy for you darling. He turns me around so i will face him his hand is softly stroking my face while he stares at my face like he is taking a mental picture, he smiles then says you know i love you don't you? <br /> I mentally roll my eyes back into my head then smiled and said yes i know and do you know that i love you back? His smile reached his ears yes i do then he stars bussing me ever so passionly and it felt like to me that this will our last time.<br /> He throws me up against the shower wall and hikes one of my legs up to his side, lets make out in the shower its been awhile sense we have done this he said while nibbling on my neck, it has been awhile i said smiling while he slips inside of me. love this round was different we both knew it would be our last time together like this and he is taking his time like he is making a mental video at this moment. He has me pushed up against the wall and my legs are wrapped around his waste, richard im about to, i know darling i am too. <br /> <br /> He sits me down and makes me lean forward and put my hands against the wall then he pounds into me, the bathroom is filled with my moans and his grunts baby do you know how bad your tight little cherry drives me crazy when your getting off? Yes i do and i love that it drives you crazy, he starts stroking harder and faster and i know his release is coming, after he released himself inside of me he grabs me and pulls me close to him while leaving himself inside of me he has never did this before.<br /> He hurried and finished showering and i stay behind to finish up my shower, i came out and looked surprised when i seen him in his suit, going back to the office? Yea i have to finish up some work so ill be late don't wait up for me, you know its hard for me to sleep without you so hurry back as fast as you can and i gave him a warm smile, he walks over to me takes his thumb under my chin to make me look at him then he busses me ever so gently he takes the towel off of me and his hand goes straight to my belly i start to panic does he know? He pulls away and takes a couple steps back and just stares at me if i wouldn't have pulled away we would have went for round 2, so i say giving him a flirty smile after all we are husband and wife, he walks up to me softly stroking my face if i didn't have to be at the office we would definitely go for another round he busses me one more time then looks me in my eyes and says don't forget your plan b pill and don't wait up, i nodd and smile at him and walk over to my night then i hear the bedroom door shut.<br /> I sit on the bed listening to his footsteps fade away, wow he must be in a hurry to get to her because normally he would watch me just to make sure i took it, i walk across the hall and look out the window he is standing there typing on his phone then he slides into the back seat while the driver shuts the door. I grab my iphone log in with his information and read every iMessage between them my heart felt like it was stabbed over and over again he is talking about having kids with her something he has never with me i rub my flat belly don't worry little one mommy will make sure you have the best life i can give you we won't need him.<br /> I walk back to the room pack my things walk to his office to look for the divorce papers, i found them and read through them if i don't give him any trouble i get 50 thousand dollars and his name is already signed so i signed my name and faxed the papers to his lawyer. I laid the divorce papers on top of his desk and added a sticky note on top. A wife always knows and ive already faxed the papers to your lawyer after i signed them take care richard love tessa. I reset my iphone back to factory mode sign in on under his accounts and left the screen on his imessages with laura so that way when he picks it up that will be the first thing he will see and he can't track me if i don't have this phone if he wanted too.<br /> I remember to grab the pregnancy test and the box so i don't leave any evidence behind about my little one he didn't want one anyway at least not with me. I was able to sneak out without the maid seeing me walked down the road a little ways where the cab was waiting for me. I told the cab driver the address and sat back watching out the window I fought hard to keep my tears from falling down my cheeks he doesn't want me then i won't shed no tears for him. I had the cab drop me off at a little hotel where they would let me pay with cash and didn't ask for ID i can hide out here until that money goes into my banking account then i can get it all out and close my account down.<br /> <br /> Richards POV<br /> im stuck with a big dilemma between 2 women that i love except for one knows about the other when the other one don't, laura wants me to divorce tessa and that was the plan until i started having doubts, yes i may have already had the divorce papers drawn up and signed my name but that doesn't mean it's killing me on the inside. The shower love we had earlier was amazing heck every time we sleep its always amazing with tessa who ever thought a shy and quite girl like tessa would be so kinky? She is my type of women in the bed.<br /> I had to get one last look of her undressed body and one last taste of her before i break her heart tomorrow ive made up my mind ive missed laura like crazy while she was away with her dad for 5 years and was over joyed when she let me know that she is moving back I couldn't wait to see her. As twisted as this may sound I haven't touched laura sure we have bussed but out of respect for tessa thats all that has happened between laura and me.<br /> I called it a night with laura actually I couldn't wait to get back home to cuddle into tessa she thinks she is the only one that can't sleep without me but I can't sleep without her warm body pressed into mine it's going to be hard to sleep for awhile without her, am I really about to do this?<br /> I walk into the bedroom and see that the light is on but tessa isnt in the bed or in the room then i noticed that our wedding picture is missing from her night stand so i walk over to the bed and noticed a ripped up picture laying on the bed and its just me her side of the picture is gone, did she find out about laura? I walk to find the maid, have you seen tessa? She was in your office a little while ago faxing something sir, i nodd and ran straight to my office, is everything alright sir? Help me find tessa she isn't in the bedroom or in my office, i see her phone laying on my desk and i open it up and my heart sank when it was the messages between me and laura how did she find out how to do this?<br /> I sit back in my seat with her phone gripped tightly in my hands feeling numb all over when I noticed a sticky note that I don't remember leaving there and when i read it I didn't think it was even possible for my heart to sink any further until i read that she signed them and already faxed them my heart shattered. All I could do was imagine what she went through and is going through right now, where she went to? Is she safe? How could i have been so dumb? Why didn't she even put up a fight or even beg me?<br /> Im pacing back and forth at the foot of our bed imagining her laying in her spot looking so comfortable and sound asleep with me cuddle in behind her. i still see her undressed and standing there went i look in that direction, i still can see how the bottom of her belly was poking out a little and i started to imagine what she would look like with my baby in her and when my hand automatically went there it scared her, i know she isn't pregnant her periods came on time and she takes plan b after we sleep.<br /> I wasn't able to sleep last night so I went back to my home office before the sun came out thats when I noticed her wedding rings was laying there and i felt something I haven't felt in a long time running down my cheeks, it has been awhile sense i have cried I've actually been pretty happy with everything until now, i slid her wedding rings onto my pinky and just stared at them while tears are flowing down my face.<br /> I cant put out a missing persons report because our marriage was a secret I didn't want her to be noticed and live a happy and normal life without anyone knowing who she is. Ah ha she will probably be going to the bank soon to take out the money and ill tell them to notify me when she does, seeing how the bank is ran by my company they can't go against my orders.<br /> Laura has already called me this morning asking if i asked about a divorce yet i told her no because I didn't want to go straight into planning another wedding i still needed to find tessa I didn't want her to hurt.<br /> <br /> Tessa POV<br /> i haven't been able to hardly sleep at all, I wasn't lying to Richard when i told him I couldn't sleep without him but im getting used to it, its been 2 weeks sense i ran away and im about to run out of money so its time to empty my banking account and get the heck out of here so i can live freely and not only that i need to get my little one checked on and get the proper care that i need.<br /> My childhood friend is coming tonight and she is helping me escape tomorrow and we have a plan set up just incase he shows up I doubt he will sense this is what he wanted but its always good to plan ahead. Someone is knocking on my motel door and i know it isn't kelly because she will call my motel room when she gets here, i peek through the peephole and i see Richards assistant and Richard standing behind him with his arms folded across his chest and he doesn't look like she has slept good in ages, my heart drops to my feet has he found me? <br /> <br /> I almost opened the door when they stop someone walking by, excuse me sir have you seen this girl? He looks at the picture nope I can't say i have sorry, take this flyer and if you spot her give us a call and if you give us the right location and we locate her well will give you a great reward.<br /> Why is he looking for me? Is he having regrets? Does he know about the little one? Ive come to far im not turning myself in he probably wants me to get rid of little one if he knows it's coming and I won't take that chance no way. Kelly pulls in and they walk up to her car show her the flyer and i can tell she is trying so hard not to show it on her face, i see her shake her head no I can't hear what they are saying because they are so far away. They get into their vehicle and leave, i see her walking to my door and i hurry up and open it while hiding behind it.<br /> Girl do you know richard was just outside showing a picture of you trying to find you? Yes they knocked on my door but I didn't answer it, what is he wanting? I don't know i gave him what he wanted and he shouldn't know about little one we are the only ones that knows and i made sure to take the box and test with me, its a good thing you are getting out of here tomorrow that was way to close, yes it was I thought for sure he found me and came a hair of opening the door, don't you ever do something that dumb again, o im not promise.<br /> The next day kelly has me so made up that I don't recognize myself in the mirror, i have brown hair and she has me in a blonde wig a outfit that shows way to much of my body and my cleavage, i was just thankful I have a decent pair of flats i can run in if i have too. I put on a pair of over sized sunglasses and get on the bus and head to the bank, i walk into the bank go into the restroom and remove my wig stuff it in my big purse i fix my hair up into a messy bun and head to the tailors window. <br /> <br /> I show her my ID and my banking information i want everything out of my checking account and close my account, the tailor looks at me and smiles then whisperes i know who you are and im supposed to alert mr roads when you arrive to claim the money, please don't I just want to get my money and be on my way, don't worry i won't alert him until i see you walk out the door I can't stand laura she is making brags that she can't marry mr roads because you ran away before he could get you to sign the divorce papers, she hands me the money and i say i have signed the divorce papers and faxed the papers myself to his lawyer he is divorced and im not holding anyone up, <br /> <br /> I figured as much why else would he put 50 thousand into your checking account laura is just making up stories to make herself look good, ill be the run away wife I really don't care he is a free man what he does on his end is up to him, you better get going then before someone spots you, thank you so much she looks at me and gives me warming smile then winks.<br /> <br /> I step outside of the bank and take a last look around i plan not to step back into this city for years, i take one more big breath to calm my nerves down put on my sunglasses i start to take a step then i hear what sounded like someone slamming on their breaks, <br /> <br /> i thought someone was about to get ran over and i take a look to see what was going on when i noticed who's car it was i froze in my spot. Come on tessa get yourself together think of little one, i see a door open and richard gets out hollering my name, wait tessa i need to talk to you i shake my head no and turn around to take my steps away, tess please wait for me we need to talk, i turn to look at him and he is trying to dodge vehicles to get across the road to me and i spot my opportunity and took off running away from him and at this point instead of hollering my name he is screaming it.

Her next words took both of them by surprise. She was anything but weak and she knew she deserved a lot better than some douche bag who was disrespectful towards his own mate. Alpha or not, he shouldn't be the one who gets the last laugh.<br /> ***<br /> Nikolina POV<br /> 4 hours earlier<br /> I woke up in a very good mood. I am finally eighteen and today is the day I find my mate. It actually depends on both sides. If they are of age, they'll find each other soon enough, seventeen is the youngest you can be when you find your mate.<br /> However, most of the time, the guy or the girl have to wait for their other half to come of age, which I think is a great idea.<br /> Yes, I'm a werewolf, specifically the current Beta's daughter and soon to be Beta's sister. The disappointment of the family. But that's okay; I'm not very inclined to make them proud or follow in their footsteps, but mostly they want Alex to do it.<br /> Don't get me wrong. I'm not abused or bullied; except for the occasional remarks, shunned from society, the usual stuff.<br /> They say I'm ugly, but I know better than to believe that. I could have been popular due to my blue eyes and gold speckles, blonde hair and hourglass figure. But I like to keep to myself. Plus my hair was naturally blonde unlike my mother's peroxide bleached hair that comes out of bottles and pricey extensions. Actually, dad and Alex both have brown hair so I don't know how I have blonde hair. For months, I even checked the roots of my hair to find some sort of discoloration to prove that even my hair was bleached. But in vain.<br /> My mom was the stereotypical cheerleader in high school while my dad was the “douche” and quarterback. Apparently they want me to be like them, and social hierarchy exists in packs as well. And my brother is following our parents footsteps, sleeping with more than half of the population, while I'm not.<br /> They revel in attention and bullying people who are lower than them, as they say. To the outside world, my family and I love each other. On the inside it’s an extreme hate relationship, something the pack is aware of except for the Alpha and Luna.<br /> If they knew the truth, my parents, Tiffany and Mark, would lose their respect and beloved Alex's position would be taken away from him. Which would obviously take his popularity down a notch. Horrifying for him. Entertaining for me.<br /> Anyways, today is also the soon-to-be Alpha's eighteenth birthday. James Rodriguez.<br /> Sometimes I wonder how someone as sweet and kind as Diana and George, produce a kid like James.<br /> In short, James is the snobby player. It’s actually really surprising how none of the girls are pregnant yet...<br /> Back to me, I dressed up with more care than usual. I wore a baby pink sundress with black gladiator sandals. I applied a bit of winged liner to make my eyes pop. I've always read stories about loving mates. Who knows how much of it is true? For all I know, it’s some made up fantasy to make mates seem like the ultimate endgame. Maybe one day, I would meet my mate and then we could run away towards the sunset............or something, I don't really care.<br /> Apparently, all mates are compatible with their other half. It’s like love at first sight and the males getting all possessive about their mates is very appealing and a turn on, or so I've heard.<br /> It's all hearsay. And I think it’s stupid. It’s like the males are all custom made robots. Why else would their behavior be so alike?<br /> And there was a paragraph about heat and shifting and marking. Maybe, my mate's gonna go all caveman on me and tear my throat out.<br /> I'm just kidding, morbid thoughts on my birthday are kind of my thing. And its wishful thinking. I don't care. He might even be an omega and I still wouldn't care. Even if he's a human, it wouldn't matter. And if he's not in this pack then..... Oh well... It's better for me. I don't want to stay in a pack where I have no respect and people treat me bad. Status had once mattered to me. But when you have parents like mine, you kind of start praying not to ever be like them.<br /> Not once did they look at me but of course, Alexander was doted on by everyone. Kids. Parents. Friends. You name it.<br /> Apparently, it's because he's a boy. And according to my mother, girls are good for getting screwed, getting hit on, obeying their men, acting flirty along, and popping out heirs.<br /> And lucky for you all, my mother happens to be exhibit A.<br /> You should all be jealous because it's not everyday that you have a live walking, talking example to show the word and tell them what a hoe your mother is.<br /> Third Person POV <br /> Nikolina walked to school as she was not allowed a car. Though Alex was the proud owner of a shiny Silver Volvo. Double standards were very common in the Reed family. She had always wanted her own car, something that was a stunning shade of bright canary yellow, but that dream was nowhere close to becoming a reality.<br /> All of a sudden, she smelt an amazing scent; peppermint and honey. Lydia purred and rolled around in happiness, barely able to contain her excitement.<br /> On searching for the source, her eyes met warm, hazel orbs. His eyes expressed lust and adoration as they raked all over her body.<br /> Realization finally hit her hard when she saw that James-freaking-Rodriguez was her mate! The next Alpha of Solaris Eclipse Pack. And he was Portia's long-standing boyfriend.<br /> You know what he did next? James went back to groping the head cheerleader. “Portia.... “ Oh, sorry. Rookie mistake. Portia Scott.<br /> Tears threatened to fall while her wolf Lydia whimpered, seeing her mate touch another...<br /> “Our mate is beautiful.” James's wolf, Jace said. Nikolina was more than just beautiful. Many males of the pack thought she was gorgeous but never mentioned it out loud due to the fear of facing Alex's wrath. Alex was the one to start it all: the petty insults, the hateful words and making an outcast out of her. Others had just followed his footsteps. And of course, some of the girls were shallow enough to find happiness by making Nikolina feel miserable, because they were insecure about themselves.<br /> But the main issue was, though James thought Nikolina was pretty, he would never accept her as his mate and Luna. Though she was Beta Mark's daughter and was of high status, both him and his ego considered her a nobody. He knew about the insults and he had done it as well. In his eyes, she was worthless and all everyone ever did was talk down on her and she never fought back.<br /> He couldn't have a... thing like that as his mate. Beauty just wasn't enough for him, being a ruthless woman was a requirement.<br /> “She might be beautiful but I don't want her. She's a nobody. If people know that she is my mate, I would become the laughing stock of my pack. Seriously, people walk all over her. She can never be my Luna.” That was the thought going through his mind as he sucked on Portia's neck hard enough to bruise.<br /> “Ow! You're hurting me, boo! You know Kelly has my concealer today.” Portia whined but still made no move to shove James away. She just proceeded to grind her lower body into James and trying to get as close as humanly possible without getting rid of her clothes in public.<br /> James finally pried Portia off his body and walked towards his mate. In some ways, Portia was like a bloodsucking leech or an annoying wart, never leaving without a fight.<br /> “Baby, where are you going? I need you!” Her voice was like a cat dragging its claws across a board.<br /> James just signalled her to shut up before walking towards his mate. He would do the right thing, of course, as the future Alpha of Solaris Eclipse Pack and give Nikolina what she deserves.<br /> He stopped in front of her and asked, “What's your name?”<br /> “Nikolina,” she stated. He soon noticed that she had no friends and no car and he felt the curious stares on his back as everyone's attention was on him.<br /> “I, James Rodriguez, soon to be alpha of Eclipse Pack reject you, Nikolina Reed as my mate and Luna. “ As he rejected her, Jace whimpered and cowered. And James felt bad but he knew this was the right thing to do for himself and the pack. From his perspective, Nikolina was someone who brought out the worst in people and Portia was way more deserving to be his mate and Luna, considering that she was fearless and wasn't afraid to fight dirty for her rights.<br /> James was an egoistic douche bag who mistook petty behavior for fearless but he was blinded by the greed for power and popularity.<br /> The pain was blinding for Nikolina. She would have collapsed if not for the anger that surged through her. She was furious. At James. The Moon Goddess. Not realizing how painful rejection was. Her fate. It was a never ending list.<br /> It felt like she was being drowned in liquid bleach, her lungs burned and she saw red. Anger took over the pain she was feeling and she didn't want to give him the satisfaction of knowing how hurt she was.<br /> Her next words took both of them by surprise. She was anything but weak and she knew she deserved a lot better than some douche bag who was disrespectful towards his own mate. Alpha or not, he shouldn't be the one who gets the last laugh.<br /> “I, Nikolina Reed, accept your rejection as my mate and Alpha. I sincerely hope you get the clap!”<br /> With that, she turned on her heel and left the school premises.<br /> “Who needs a mate? Especially someone like James. People like him need girls like Portia by their sides, who cater to their whims and needs and whatever freaky carnal desire they might have.” Nikolina thought darkly. She wasn't going to give in to her pain and this rejection was the final push that encouraged her to chase after her freedom and break bonds with the family who had clipped off her wings.<br /> James felt a tiny bit of hurt realizing that she didn't even think twice before accepting the rejection and all he could wonder was how did she not burst into tears or grovel at his feet to take her back. Jace did not talk. He just whimpered, feeling the loss of his mate. Before James could think of it anymore, Portia dragged him to an empty classroom to distract her beloved Jamie boo. It seemed as if James wasn't the least bit affected by the incident with Nikolina, because his actions didn't falter as he hitched Portia's skirt up and ripped her panties, drilling her like an animal and releasing himself on her clothes and face as he left her alone to clean up.<br /> Nikolina POV<br /> “Well, he can go drill his toy as much as he wants.” I thought darkly while making my way towards home. All Lydia did was whimper. The moment I saw James, I knew something like this was bound to happen. You don't have any expectations when someone like him is supposed to be your destined mate. He was born with a big ego and he can just stuff it up his.<br /> “Maybe he regrets hurting us, you know.” Lydia whimpered.<br /> Before I could reply, searing hot pain flooded my senses. I felt myself fall on the pavement and the pain started to become more intense. It is obvious, isn't it? He's already drilling someone just minutes after rejecting me. It felt like my body was set on fire and the blistering flames charred my skin.<br /> I slowly got up and almost keeled over as my vision turned white. Dizziness washed over me. I had to clench my fists and dig my fingers hard enough to draw blood. Getting away from him and this stupid pack is my best bet. He was doing it intentionally considering the fact he knows that we're both connected unless one of us dies or gets marked by another. Walking never felt so strenuous and with every step I had to force myself to not curl up on the pavement and cry. I know I deserve someone better but I did want to cry my pain away.<br /> After what seemed like hours, the pain slowly ebbed away. Painful times ahead. The only problem is that the mate bond doesn't break even after being rejected. Only if the rejected is marked by the first mate or by another, or if one of the mates die, will the bond break.<br /> I entered my house and went to my room to pack my bags. You know, in every werewolf story the rejected mate writes letters before leaving. There's no logic to it. I mean, don't you get it? No one cares if you leave. No one cares if you die. No one cares if you slit your throat or get molested or murdered. That's the harsh truth. Why should I open my feelings on a letter make them feel pity? I can just run away and live my best life, away from them. It's not like they will send out search teams for you.<br /> I don't want pity. I can do better than that. I picked up my red lipstick and wrote in capitals before leaving. I know I'm dramatic but it serves them right. They'll remember this for years to come: women can walk away without feeling a twinge of guilt or regret.<br /> Showing vulnerability would only make me seem weak and I've let people walk over me way too many times.<br /> My mom was probably busy getting her hair done or something. That's the only thing she ever does. Or her nails. Or maybe she was out shopping with snobby people like herself. It's obvious that birds of a feather flock together. The only thing I ever liked about her is that she cooked for us, sometimes. Mom made a mean lasagna.<br /> Dad was probably with Alpha George. That's usually where he is. But then again, he also has this terrible habit of getting drunk during daylight hours. And once he even groped some other girl in front of the whole pack. Mom turned an ugly shade of red as she kicked him in the crotch. Those were the good days. It was fun when he laid on the couch with a bag of frozen peas on his groin and mom was nowhere around.<br /> Leaving was better for me anyway. Nothing was tying me down to this place. No friends. No proper family. I would be doing myself and them a favor.<br /> I took my dad's sleek black Porsche for my escapade. I might as well leave loaded and in style, besides it's high time I had a car.<br /> Just as I reached the pack border, I said, “I, Nikolina Reed, break all ties with the Solaris Eclipse Pack.” The patrol guards looked at me, but its not like they would stop me.<br /> The pack links broke and with that I revved up the engine and sped through the borders, driving towards my new life. A better life. It was a blessing that this pack did not care enough to stop me.<br /> <br /> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><br /> Wanna listen more? download our App and check more! Novel ID: 99168!

His son, Matthew, will become the new Alpha in a few months. His father and I have agreed that Matthew needs to have a strong mate by his side to lead the pack successfully," Lily's father explained, "And that is not you." <br /> Lily felt as if her whole world had been turned upside down. She didn't know if she wanted to scream or cry. How could they make this decision for her?<br /> "In three days, you will attend the Rejection Ceremony. Then in a week, you will have a mating ceremony with someone more on your level, his brother, Garrett Hunter."<br /> Garrett? Garrett Hunter?? The disfigured, rejected brother of Matthew? How could they force me to reject my fated mate and then mate to his ruthless brother?!<br /> ————————<br /> Lily stared in horror at her father. She couldn't make sense of what he was saying. Why would Matthew reject her? When they talked on the phone all day, he never mentioned it.<br /> "You're joking," Lily said. "You have to be joking." <br /> Her father scowled at her because he disliked repeating himself. He paused for a moment to collect himself before saying, "This is no joke. You will be marrying Garrett Hunter."<br /> When Lily heard her father say those words, her heart sank. "I am his fated mate. We're meant to be together. Why would he want to reject me? There must be a mistake!"<br /> "Lily, you're an omega. No respectable Alpha would want you as their Luna. We're saving you the agony of having to deal with your mate having a mistress," her mother explained, "and it's not like you won't have a mate."<br /> "It's what you deserve, Lily. Garrett is perfect for you," Brandy said smugly. <br /> Garrett? Garrett Hunter?? The disfigured, rejected brother of Matthew? This had to be some sort of joke. They couldn't possibly be serious. But her parents were not laughing.<br /> Lily slid her seat back and stood up. She ran back to her room, slamming the door behind her. Brandy stood up to bring her back downstairs, but her mother stopped her.<br /> "Leave her alone. There is nowhere she can go. This is something she must accept," her mother stated.<br /> "Pick up the phone, Matthew. Come on!" Lily murmured as she dialed his number for the tenth time. It just rang again and again until it went to voicemail. Lily didn't bother leaving another voicemail because she had already left five.<br /> Lily sighed in frustration and tossed her phone to the floor before pacing the room. Why would her parents subject her to such cruelty? Wasn't it enough that they treated her like trash because she was an omega? But now they were going to take this away from her as well?!<br /> Lily nearly crashed into the wall to get to her phone when it buzzed on the bed. Her heart sank again when she realized it was Tiffany, not Matthew, calling. Lily answered the phone.<br /> "Hey girlie! It has been hours. What was the dinner about? Are you..." Tiffany started.<br /> Lily interjected and said, "Can I come over? I can't stay here. Please say yes."<br /> Hearing her tone, Tiffany became serious and asked, "What's wrong? Your sister is bothering you again?"<br /> "No. It's much worse. Please tell me I can come over," Lily pleaded.<br /> "Yes, you can come. I am not leaving for my parents' until tomorrow. Where are you? I can come to get you," Tiffany offered.<br /> "No. I will come to you," Lily said, "Thank you." She quickly hung up the phone. Lily went to her closet and grabbed an overnight bag. She yanked her dress off and changed into a t-shirt and workout pants.<br /> Lily then began packing items she didn't want to lose and enough clothes to get her through the holidays. She had no intention of coming back here.<br /> The door to her bedroom swung open, causing Lily to jump. She turned to see Mira, one of the omegas working in the kitchen. Mira placed her finger on her lips before she slowly closed the door behind her.<br /> "They told you," Mira said. It was more of a statement than a question. It made Lily sick to her stomach. Everyone had been smiling in her face. Did everyone but her know? It was humiliating that this was kept from her. "I was commanded not to tell you. I really wanted to."<br /> "It's fine, Mira. I know you wouldn't betray me," Lily responded. It would be physically impossible for Mira to go against a command. Perhaps if she were a Gamma or even a Beta, but as an Omega, the pain of it would have killed her wolf, which would've killed her.<br /> "I won't let them force me," Lily declared. "I can't let them take one of the only things that have made me happy."<br /> Mira and Lily grew very close growing up. As they were both omegas and Lily was excluded from high-ranking wolf activities, she spent most of her time with Mira. Mira's father, the pack doctor, was the reason she wanted to become a doctor in the first place.<br /> "Then, let me help you," Mira said, "I can get you out of here. They planned to leave you alone for the rest of the weekend."<br /> "You can't. If they find out..."<br /> "They'll assume I helped you even if I didn't. I'll be beaten no matter what, but I won't die," Mira countered, interrupting her. "Dad is already outside with a car to take you wherever you want to go."<br /> Lily hugged Mira tightly. Mira smiled slightly, wanting to go with her, but she was bound to the pack grounds. Leaving or even going rogue would harm her father's position in the pack. She couldn't risk it.<br /> "Thank you, Mira," Lily said.<br /> Tiffany opened her front door to see Lily standing like a beat dog in her doorway. Lily waved to the car that drove away. Tiffany pulled her into her home and quickly closed the door. Lily immediately began sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> "Lily, what's going on? What happened?" Tiffany asked, leading her to the sofa. She had already prepared Lily's favorite meal as well as hot cocoa.<br /> "They are trying to force me into a rejection ceremony," Lily managed to say.<br /> "What? Why? They can't do that. It'd be spitting in the Goddess' face. You could end up cursed or worse," Tiffany exclaimed.<br /> "They don't care. They don't think I'd be a fit for him because I'm an omega," Lily stated.<br /> "That's not up to them. That's up to the Goddess, and the Goddess wants you and Matthew to be together," Tiffany stated.<br /> "They don't see it that way. They..." Lily stopped in mid sentence as a horrible pain gripped her chest. She gasped as she clutched her chest and tried to slow her breathing.<br /> "Lily? Is it one of your panic attacks?" Tiffany asked.<br /> Lily could only nod, unable to speak as she concentrated on breathing as the pain radiated through her. She suffered from panic attacks for a long time. Lily assumed it was because of stress. It would eventually fade, thanks to Dina's assistance.<br /> Lily gasped in relief as the pain began to fade, and she said, "I'm okay now."<br /> "You need to speak with Matthew. You two can elope, and they won't be able to do anything about it,"<br /> "Elope?"<br /> --<br /> "Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?" Tiffany asked as she walked Lily out of her apartment. She didn't want to leave her in such a terrible situation.<br /> "No, I need to do this alone," Lily answered with a weak smile. She couldn't get in contact with Matthew all night. Lily needed to speak with him. Whatever happened between her and Matthew, she would have to deal with it alone. Lily didn't want to get her too caught up in her family drama.<br /> "Well, you know where my spare key is," Tiffany said.<br /> "Don't worry about me. I'll be okay. Matthew and I will elope, and everything will be fine," Lily said.<br /> Tiffany smiled slightly, but Lily noticed that her eyes looked somewhat sad. She had known Tiffany long enough to know that she was holding back. Before Lily could ask Tiffany what she was thinking, Lily's cab arrived.<br /> Tiffany hugged her again and said, "Keep me updated. You know my parents will accept you with open arms. They said the offer is still open if you want to join my pack."<br /> Lily nodded and got into the cab. She waved goodbye before telling the cab driver, "10 Armstead Place." The cab driver nodded and drove off.<br /> The drive didn't take long. All the while, she could feel a stabbing pain in her chance. It was another anxiety attack. She had never felt so bad before.<br /> "Ma'am, are you okay?" the cab driver asked, noticing her distress.<br /> "Yes, I am fine. Thank you," Lily answered. "Just having a little panic attack, I think."<br /> 'It's the stress,' Dina said to her. 'I am doing everything I can to dull it. I can't reach Baldur. I don't know why he isn't responding to me. Do you think our father or maybe his father did something?'<br /> Baldur was Matthew's wolf. He was as happy as Dina when they learned that they were mates. As much as Lily and Matthew talked on the phone, Dina and Baldur communicated more telepathically.<br /> 'It could be. I can't believe it. I don't want to believe that Matthew would agree to this. Maybe he is cutting off all communication because he doesn't want anyone to find him. No one knows about his apartment in the city,' Lily responded.<br /> The city was a neutral zone for all supernatural creatures. Pack hierarchy or mutual dislike of different races wasn't tolerated here. The elders made it a point that all supernatural children grew up aware of others to squash any ignorance. It was a good idea in theory, but many outside factors were at play. People couldn't help but judge one another.<br /> "We're here," the cab driver said, bringing Lily out of her thoughts. She pulled out $40 from her wallet and said, "Keep the change." She got out of the car and rushed up the steps to Matthew's apartment.<br /> Lily had been there more than once over the weekend. Her family never knew when she was home, and she wanted to keep it that way. When it would get bad at home, Matthew was a reprieve for her as Lily didn't want to have to deal with her family any more than she had to.<br /> Lily quickly grabbed the spare key under the mat and opened the door. She stepped into his apartment, and the pain seemed to intensify. Lily gripped her chest and almost fell face-first into the carpet. She used the wall to move further into his apartment.<br /> There was a smell that she couldn't quite place. It made her hackles rise. She felt angry for no reason.<br /> 'Find him now,' Dina growled within her.<br /> 'What's wrong?' Lily asked, but Dina only responded with a growl.<br /> "Oh, Matthew! Pull my hair!"<br /> An all-too-familiar voice broke the silence, and Lily could now hear the slapping of skin. As she approached his bedroom, it became increasingly louder. Lily swallowed hard as she tried to process what she was hearing and what she didn't want to believe was happening. Lily's hand shivered as she was about to place her hand on the door.<br /> 'We must see this,' Dina growled. 'Open the door.'<br /> Lily slowly pushed open the door. There in front of her was Brandy and her sister having intercourse.<br /> The anxiety attacks, the waves of pain were Matthew having intercourse with her.<br /> Lily was almost catatonic as she watched the betrayal before her eyes. This was supposed to be her. She had waited years for him, and here he was having intercourse with this bimbo in front of her.<br /> Lily gripped the side of the door frame, her claws going straight through as she tried to compose herself. The sudden movement caused Matthew to look up. His eyes widened in surprise when he saw her.<br /> "Oh hello, sister. Did you enjoy the show?" Brandy mocked as Lily walked into the room. Lily said nothing as she approached Brandy. With all her might, Lily slapped Brandy hard enough to send her into the headboard.<br /> "You bimbo!" Brandy yelled as she gripped her head in pain. Lily slapped her again before Matthew caught her wrist. She used her other hand to slap Matthew across the face with strength she didn't know she had. Her claws left gashes on the side of his face.<br /> "Lily?!" Matthew exclaimed.<br /> "Don't ever speak to us, you filthy dog," Lily growled out. Her eyes were silver as it was Dina now talking. "All this time, you betrayed us for this bimbo!"<br /> "You have to understand, Lily. I didn't have a choice. I..."<br /> "Enough of your lies! I will go through with the rejection ceremony. We can do it tonight because I want to be rid of you. I'll take whatever curse the Goddess dishes out!" Lily screamed before storming out, leaving the door wide open.<br /> --<br /> "Don't you think that is inappropriate?" Kenneth asked his Luna from the doorway of their bedroom. <br /> "Not at all. It is a joyous occasion," Mandy said as she applied burgundy lipstick and stood up. She brushed the wrinkles out of her blue sweater dress as she looked herself over in the mirror before approaching him with a slight smile. "You should change. That suit is so depressing."<br /> "The suit is proper attire for the custom. You shouldn't take this much glee in her suffering," Kenneth responded, causing Mandy to frown. <br /> Mandy scoffed and said, "Don't try to act like you care about the little brat now. Don't be a hypocrite. You could care less and this arrangement will benefit the both of us."<br /> "At least make it believable in front of the Hunters," Kenneth reasoned. Mandy rolled her eyes. Of course she would behave. What kind of idiot did he take her for?<br /> "Come. You wouldn't want to keep Lily waiting," Mandy said condescendingly. <br /> Again, Kenneth didn't respond and followed Mandy to the entertainment hall. Both packs were in attendance. Both acknowledged their presence, showing their necks to them both. <br /> Alpha Jack and Luna Kelly looked agitated by the entire situation. The Luna of Grey Blood Pack was very against the rejection ceremony. However, she didn't have much say in the situation since both Alphas agreed to it. <br /> "Where is she?" Kenneth asked one of the omegas that were serving spirits. <br /> "She is coming, my Alpha. We are watching her closely. There is no chance she will run away again," the omega answered. <br /> Kenneth nodded and walked to the stage with Jack following behind him. He took a spoon to his spirits glass to get everyone's attention. <br /> "Thank you for joining us here tonight to celebrate the union of two great packs," Kenneth began and turned to Jack, "It is an honor that our packs will be united." <br /> "Yes, we look forward to our unified strength," Jack nodded. <br /> "Lily, Brandy, and Matthew Hunter, please come up here," Kenneth said. <br /> Brandy quickly came to greet her father. Kenneth frowned at her attire as he reluctantly hugged her. She was always scantily clad, even after telling her to dress appropriately for the occasion. <br /> 'Like mother, like daughter,' Kenneth's wolf, Jasper, said before growling in irritation at seeing Matthew. Kenneth had recently learned that Matthew had been sleeping with Brandy behind Lily's back. As a father and a believer of old customs, he wanted to choke him, but it was better this way. At least one of his daughters would be a proper Luna.<br /> 'We should tear his throat out for humiliating Lily,' Jasper growled.<br /> 'Calm down,' Kenneth told him.<br /> 'You're a pathetic father,' Jasper responded before blocking himself from Kenneth like he always did. <br /> After a few minutes, Lily did not show. Kenneth frowned and he spoke over the microphone, "Where is Lily? Bring her here!" He didn't need her defying him in front of both packs. This union had to happen. <br /> "I am here, father!"<br /> Matthew stood on the stage awkwardly. He didn't expect that both packs would be here for this. Matthew assumed that this would be a private affair, but he knew his mother had to have had a hand in this. <br /> Kelly had been horrified and disappointed in Matthew when she discovered that Matthew had been sleeping with Lily's little sister. No one in their line had ever denied the Moon Goddess' will up until now. The only thing that calmed her was that Lily would still marry into the pack. <br /> Matthew didn't really want to be mated with Brandy. He just wanted to have fun before he was forever bound to Lily. However, he understood why his father wanted him to mate Mandy instead. An Alpha had to be seen as strong. A weak Luna was a liability. He could not rule a pack with an omega Luna.<br /> 'It is not the right choice!' Baldur growled within him. 'Why did the Moon Goddess curse me to be bonded to you until death? She is meant for us! You know it!'<br /> 'There is nothing we can do now. It is done,' Matthew responded.<br /> 'You fool. You're going to regret this.' Baldur warned before Matthew suppressed him again like he always did when he didn't want to hear what he had to say. <br /> After Kenneth and his father Jack's speech, there was a pause as they waited for Lily to appear. She had not shown up, which infuriated Kenneth. As he demanded to know where Lily was, her voice rang out. <br /> "I am here, father!"<br /> Lily emerged from the crowd, taking Matthew's breath away. There were murmurs from the crowd as they watched Lily. She wore a simple form-fitting strapless white dress with an overlay of lace. Her hair was pulled up in a bun, and a white veil covered her face. Lily wore her wedding dress to the rejection ceremony. <br /> When she got to the stage, she hugged her father, ignored Mandy, and curtsied to Alpha Jack and Luna Kelly before taking her position in front of Matthew. Lily kept a calm expression, but Matthew could see the fury in Lily's eyes. <br /> "Lily, I..." Matthew started, but she raised her hand, stopping him. <br /> Lily gave her hand to Jack and nodded to him. Jack smirked. This little female had sass. It was a shame that she was not an Alpha. Jack took the ceremonial blade and cut her palm. Matthew gave his hand to Kenneth, and he cut Matthew's hand. <br /> "I... I..." Matthew stammered. He found that he could not bring himself to say the words. Everything in him told him it was wrong. "Father, I can't. I..."<br /> "I, Lily Bray, the first-born daughter of Alpha Kenneth Bray, and my wolf, Dina, reject you, Matthew Hunter, the first-born son of Kenneth Hunter, and your wolf Baldur for your betrayal of our mate bond with my sister, Brandy," Lily said firmly as she grabbed Matthew's hand. "Do you accept?"<br /> There were gasps and murmurs from the audience, as no female in history has willingly rejected their mate. It was such a scandalous affair as both sets of parents wanted to keep it hushed that Matthew had been cheating, which was partly why the rejection ceremony was happening. <br /> Lily wasn't having any of it. They wanted to embarrass her publicly, so she wanted everyone to know the truth.<br /> "I... Matthew Hunter, the first-born son of Kenneth Hunter...accept your rejection," Matthew managed to say. As soon as the words left his mouth, he could feel their mate bond fully snap. Baldur howled in anguish within him as his bond with Dina snapped away even though he refused to accept the rejection. <br /> Lily fought the urge to collapse there on the stage. She welcomed the pain, embraced it as this was nothing compared to the anguish she felt over the betrayal. "I wish Matthew and Brandy well with their upcoming mating ceremony," Lily finally said. She turned to leave but was stopped by Brandy's grip on her wrist. <br /> "We accept your blessings dear sister. We hope to see you at our mating ceremony as I won't be able to go through with it if you aren't there by my side," Brandy said with a smug smile, wanting to see Lily lose her composure. <br /> Lily resisted the urge to scream at Brandy and punch her in the face. She kept her face calm and relaxed despite an eye twitch. Lily pulled her wrist free before grabbing her hand with her bloodied hand. <br /> Lily looked deep into Brandy's eyes trying to convey the hatred and anger she felt for her through her eyes. It didn't go unnoticed that Brandy stepped back due to the intensity of Lily's gaze. "Of course, Brandy. I wouldn't miss it for the world," Lily answered before removing her hand from hers. With another curtsy, Lily left the entertainment hall. She didn't collapse into tears until she reached her bedroom.<br /> "Dad! You can't be serious!" Lily exclaimed as she was dragged down the hallway by her father. <br /> After the rejection ceremony, Lily stayed in her room to mourn the loss of her mating bond for two days. She prayed and begged the Moon Goddess for forgiveness. Lily never wanted to do this, but she didn't have a choice. She couldn't be tied to an unfaithful mate for the rest of her life. <br /> On the second night, her father, Kenneth, kicked the door in to drag her out. Because Garrett didn't attend the rejection ceremony, Kenneth was bent on Lily being bonded to Garrett immediately. <br /> After receiving a phone call that Garrett was back from a business trip and was staying at the Blueberry Suites, Kenneth knew that he had to get Lily to him. He forced her to go to the pack doctor to have every test done to show that she was still pure and genetically tested to show she had no defects before getting her ready to go to the hotel. <br /> "You shut up!" Kenneth exclaimed. "Do you know how your little stunt made us seem to the other packs?"<br /> "You look powerful and smart, right? That's what you wanted!" Lily snapped back and Kenneth slapped her. <br /> "You embarrassed us! You wore your wedding dress. You were supposed to be the regretful mate, not an over zealous harlot!" Kenneth raged. <br /> "Harlot? I'm the harlot? Of course, you wouldn't talk bad about your dear daughter Brandy," Lily retorted. <br /> Kenneth slapped her again and Lily growled in warning at him. "Don't you dare! You're not stupid. You should have known better. No Alpha will want an Omega. Because of your antics, Brandy can't even use your dress. By ensuring your bond to Garrett, Alpha Jack promises to pay for everything," Kenneth retorted. <br /> "What about what I want? You got what you wanted! Brandy will be Matthew's Luna! Why must you do this to me? You could disown me. You could expel me from the pack!" Lily asked as she was brought to a door. She should've taken her friend up on her offer to go out of state with her for the holidays. Perhaps she would've been able to avoid all of this.<br /> "You made your decisions and I have made mine. Maybe if you hadn't tried to keep your money from me, this wouldn't be happening. Your little stunt didn't work," Kenneth sneered. <br /> "No! That money doesn't belong to you! I worked so hard..." <br /> "You have no say! You only received privileges because you are my daughter. You hold no value. You are a tool and nothing else. The quicker you understand that, the better off you'll be!" Kenneth snapped, cutting Lily off. He pried the jacket off his daughter, revealing her attire: a silky white camisole. "Hopefully, he'll teach you how to behave and know your place in the world."<br /> For the first time in her life, she wanted to physically harm her father. Lily wanted to shift and maul her father, but she was still too weak from the broken mate bond. She was helpless as Kenneth opened the door to the room and shoved her inside, causing her to fall hard on her butt. Her father slammed the door in her face, locking it behind him. <br /> Lily beat on the door when she realized she couldn't open it. 'Calm down Lily. Let's see if there is another way we can get out,' Dina said. Lily nodded and began to explore the room.<br /> The room was decorated with honey hues, for they gave a sense of home away from home, of a place of nurturing safety. However, Lily didn't feel safe at all. She felt like her whole world had been turned upside down. <br /> Tonight was her engagement night as her father explained it. It was more like she was being offered up on a silver platter to a predator.<br /> When she realized the windows were locked and couldn't break them, Lily quickly turned the lights off and sat down on the bed. The room was now pitch black and eerily quiet. The only sound that could be heard was the fan that was hiding Lily's rapid breathing. Lily lay stiffly on the bed, feeling like her body was under a spell. She was unable to move. <br /> Lily heard the door opening, and light entered the room, blinding her for a moment. She closed her eyes in fright, afraid of what would happen next.

Although other people in the pack often bully me, if Calvin is around, I can persevere. On that day, Calvin's birthday, I found out that he had an affair with my sister, and I decided to leave the pack. Just as I was about to leave, Alpha King came to our pack, and he captured everyone.<br /> "You want her? She's a human!"<br /> The king released a roar that made every member of the pack flinch and drop their heads lower in submission. With my face only a few inches from the ground, I watched with terror as the king moved away from me and stood before my biggest bully Kate. <br /> The greater distance between us allowed me to see more of him. He was larger than the other Lycans, his body covered in knotted scars that were visible beneath his fur.<br /> His claw was the size of Kate's head as he punched it through her ch#st, ripping her heart out the other side and sending the pack into a flurry of sobs and terrified mumblings for mercy.<br /> "You will do well to teach your pack to respect those above them." The witch's voice called out again, but I was trapped staring at Kate's body as the king pulled his hand out, and it fell to the ground.<br /> I was aware of him walking back to me, but I couldn’t take my eyes away. It was the large hand that grabbed me by my backpack and lifted me off the ground like a doll that brought me back to reality, and I instinctively met the glowing red eyes of the Lycan King.<br /> His deep voice sent a chill through me as he spoke, "Mine."<br /> ---<br /> Janet's P.O.V.<br /> <br /> I felt uneasy as soon as I entered the pack house. The way my pack mates were smirking at me, laughing behind their hands... I knew they were up to something. Their pranks and bullying had been getting worse and more painful each time they managed to get me alone. My bruises still hadn't gone away from the last time.<br /> <br /> My body ached from the beating I had taken two days ago, but I was only a few hours away from it all ending.<br /> <br /> I just needed to get to Calvin before they set their plan into motion.<br /> <br /> Calvin was my boyfriend of four years. He was the only one that cared for me, and the only one I could trust.<br /> <br /> We were high school sweethearts. He was also the next in line to become the Alpha of our pack. That didn't matter to me, but it did matter to the other women in the pack. They hated that he was with me. They felt that they deserved a stronger Luna than I would be, and they all wanted to be his chosen one.<br /> <br /> I hadn't even shifted yet. To them, I was no more than an omega...a runt as they liked to call me, the weakest of the litter.<br /> <br /> It should have happened three years ago when I turned sixteen, but it didn't. Now I was nineteen, the age at which we could recognize our mates as our wolves should have matured by then. Had I shifted, I would have known Calvin was my mate already, but we had to wait the extra two months until today, his nineteenth birthday, for him to recognize me as his mate.<br /> <br /> Calvin didn't care that I hadn't turned. We had been together since before either of us were old enough to shift, and we were both positive that we were mates. He stood by me and protected me from the cruelty of the wolves around us when I failed to shift with the others.<br /> <br /> 'Calvin? Where are you?' I asked through our pack link but received no response.<br /> <br /> "Poor little human, you have a lot of guts to show up here right now. Do you have any idea how happy the pack is? Having you here will just ruin it. This party is for pack wolves only." Kate, my sister's best friend, said as the crowd parted for her, and the music stopped. All of the party guests stopped dancing and talking to watch as the biggest bully in the pack approached me.<br /> <br /> The flashing lights of varying colors continued in the uncomfortable silence.<br /> <br /> I hoped the man of the hour would see the disruption and step forward to my side, but he didn't. As I glanced around at all of the amused faces, he was nowhere to be seen.<br /> <br /> "Calvin invited me. I am in this pack, and I'm allowed to be here." I whispered, but I could feel the heat building in the back of my eyes as they all laughed again. Something was going on, and it was more than just Kate running her big mouth.<br /> <br /> "Even he doesn't want you here." She sneered before smiling at me widely. "See for yourself. Where is Calvin, hm? I think he went up to his room. You should go bring him back down to the party and see what he has to say."<br /> <br /> I held his present against my chest tighter as I narrowed my eyes. She was up to something, but I wanted to get to Calvin more than I wanted to deal with her b##lsh!t.<br /> <br /> As I took a step forward, Kate stepped to the side, and I could feel everyone watching me with amusement as I went up the stairs.<br /> <br /> Calvin's room was at the end of the hall behind double doors, and I rushed toward it. I could hear people coming up the stairs behind me, no doubt being led by Kate, but my salvation was only a few feet away.<br /> <br /> As soon as I got in his room, I could close the door and act as if none of them existed.<br /> <br /> It would just be the two of us.<br /> <br /> There was a stirring in the back of my mind as I wrapped my hand around the cold doorknob. It was a warning, telling me not to go inside. It wanted me to turn around and run, knowing this was a trap. Yet, I turned the knob anyway and pushed the door open.<br /> <br /> The loud moan of the female beneath my boyfriend made me freeze, and I stared wide-eyed at the couple tangled together. <br /> <br /> Calvin thr#st into her quickly, releasing his own groans of pleasure.<br /> <br /> My stomach tied in a knot, and it felt hard to breathe. The small spark of light in my life was extinguished, sending my mind into complete darkness as I processed what I was seeing.<br /> <br /> He lifted his head, meeting my tear-streaked face, but not seeing me as his wolf was in control. His canines extended just before he latched onto her neck, puncturing the skin and marking her as his mate.<br /> <br /> My sister.<br /> <br /> "No," I whispered as my hand covered my mouth. Calvin pulled back snarling at the disruption.<br /> <br /> "I told you he didn't want you," Kate whispered into my ear, and my sister laughed from beneath my boyfriend as she reached up and ran her hand through Calvin's short blonde hair.<br /> <br /> "Would you mind closing the door, Janet?" Kelly asked innocently, but the malicious look in her narrowed eyes showed she was pleased by her victory over me. Not only had she stolen the love of my life, but she was now to be his Luna. "I'm trying to have a private moment with my mate."<br /> <br /> Mate.<br /> <br /> The word seemed so empty now. Calvin had hated Kelly. He had watched how mean she was toward me and resented her. Now, he was baring his teeth at me, defending her.<br /> <br /> "How could you?" I choked out as a sob wracked through my ch#st, and the present in my hold dropped to the floor before me. The sudden and loud noise seemed to snap Calvin back into control, and his eyes returned to their normal brown.<br /> <br /> His jaw dropped open as he glanced from me to my sister with guilt, but he didn't look the least bit regretful. He was happy to have found and marked his mate, he only hated that he had been caught cheating. The torn look on his face only made me angrier as he gasped my name while he pulled out of my sister. She sat up as he climbed to his feet, neither of them ashamed to be seen n@#ed.<br /> <br /> "Janet, I…" He said, stepping forward and causing me to take a step away, only to be pushed back toward him by the crowd of on-lookers.<br /> <br /> I stumbled forward, trying to stay as far away from him as possible.<br /> <br /> The steady stream of tears blurred my vision, and my ch#st hurt as he whispered my name again. "Janet…She’s, my mate." He finally announced, causing the house to cheer in celebration that their future Luna had been claimed.

I'm not marrying you so we can be lovey dovey shit. Understand?'' He had this threatening look that made me feel fear.<br /> ''Then why do you want to marry me?''<br /> ''I have a daughter. Her biological mother is a whore who left her to me. She has been always asking me where is her mother and I couldn't bring myself to tell her. I just want her to have a mother figure in her life. She already got excited when I mentioned you to her. So you have no choice then to marry me, alright? And if you have this fu*ing attitude, you are going to get it fixed or I will fix it for you.'' He spat last sentence harshly.'<br /> ''How old is she?''<br /> ''Three years old.'' I saw his face soften as he spoke about her.<br /> After a short silence, I spoke up again.<br /> ''I am not sure if I can be a good mother or not.''<br /> <br /> ————————<br /> <br /> Anna's POV<br /> My name is Anna White. I'm 18 and senior in high school although I'm graduating in two months which I'm very happy about.<br /> I have older brother and sister who don't live with me and my parents because they got married. I also have one nephew from my brother that I adore so much.<br /> We are having a family gathering this afternoon. I'm so excited to see my sibilings and my nephew. I planned to buy him a gift after school.<br /> It's early in the morning and I'm currently listening to Math lesson. I was and I'm still a good student. I'm still in dilemma which college I want to attend because there are so many good colleges in USA.<br /> After Math lesson finished, I went in my second class which I have with my friend Milla. She is really a good person and sometimes gets bullied because of that. And I'm usually the one that helps her to get rid of them.<br /> I also have two more friends that I hang out with. Kelly has always been a bubbly one while Jennifer is more sophisticated. But we are great friend along with Milla.<br /> When bell rang for lunch, everybody ran out and towards the canteen. I met up with girls and we headed towards the lunch tables. We sat at our usual one and opened our lunch. We don't like to eat in canteen, fearing that we might get food poison.<br /> ''So Anna, you have a family gathering today?'' Kelly asked her.<br /> ''Yeah, I'm super excited to see my nephew.'' I squealed.<br /> ''I remeber when I had crush on your brother, it was so humiliating.'' Kelly whined.<br /> ''I still don't get how did you have a crush on my brother when he is 30. That's like twelve years age gap.''<br /> ''So what? Age is just a number. And your brother was hot. Maybe he is still hot but I haven't seen him in five years.'' Kelly explained.<br /> ''And maybe you will find someone older too so don't judge.'' Milla chimmed in.<br /> I shook my head.<br /> ''I think not. I prefer at least three years older guys.''<br /> ''You never know.'' Jennifer agreed with Milla.<br /> ''Whatever, we talked yesterday about the movies. When are we going to go?''<br /> ''The day after tomorrow. It's Sunday so it will be fine.''<br /> ''Cool.''<br /> We finished lunch in time as the bell rang again. I went to my locker to take my books for the next class. On my way to the classroom, I accidentally bumped into some man while he was talking with our principal.<br /> ''Sorry Sir.'' I apologized. He looked me up and down and his eyes landed on my eyes.<br /> ''Never mind.'' He said breaking the staring contest. His voice was gruff and nowhere near friendly.<br /> He turned around and continued his talk with the principal. I shook my head and entered the classroom. My Science teacher was already inside so I just apologized for being late and he let me go, luckily.<br /> I was walking back home and on my way I bought a little trunk in a toy shop for Thomas, my nephew. He is four years old and crazy for trunks and cars. He has whole collection of cars from some cartoon he watches and my brother gets pretty annoyed when somebody buys him new toy because he already has too many.<br /> I entered the house and went in my room to get changed. I took a shower and wore shorts and loose shirt. I heard the door opening downstairs and Thomas's squeals.<br /> I hurried down to see them already in the living putting their stuff down. When Thomas saw me he run to me and hugged my legs.<br /> ''Auntie, I missed you.'' He smiled showing his half missing teeth. I lifted him and sat him on my hip.<br /> ''I missed you too. You are big boy now.'' I tickled his stomach causing him to erupt in giggles.<br /> I put him down and went to hug my brother and my sister-in-law. She is really a great woman and loves my brother a lot. They told her she can't have kids anymore and that they are lucky Thomas was born. They accepted that fact and they are grateful that they have their son.<br /> My mom made lunch and set the table quickly. Thomas wanted to sit next to me and to feed him. I think I spoiled him too much but he is such a cutie.<br /> ''How is school going Anna?'' My brother asked me.<br /> ''It's good. My graduation is in two months.'' I shoved a piece of potato in my mouth.<br /> ''Did you ask about colleges?''<br /> ''Well I don't know yet. There are a lot of good colleges and I need to see in which one I'll be accepted.'' I explained.<br /> My mom suddenly cleared her throat. I turned my head towards her giving her my attention.<br /> ''Actually, you don't need to push yourself to go on a college.''<br /> ''Why?'' I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.<br /> ''Because you may not go to the college.''<br /> ''What?'' I raised my voice.<br /> ''Don't raise your voice at your mother, young lady.'' My dad said.<br /> ''Why wouldn't I go to the college?''<br /> ''Because you are getting married.''<br /> <br /> Edward's POV<br /> ''Thank you Mr. Reed for helping our school. We are very honored and grateful.'' I rolled my eyes as he can't see me over the phone. I do this just because my fiancee attends your school.<br /> ''No problem Mr. Smith. I'm glad that I can help.'' I shut down the phone no bothering to say goodbye. He was being noisy anyway.<br /> I'm Edward Reed known as a billionare of NYC. I have a daughter named Sofia and unfortunately she doesn't have a mother. Her biological mother is a bimbo that I slept with once. She left Sophia after she gave birth to her and I payed her a money to not see her again.<br /> I wanted to give a mother to Sofia so I agreed to arranged marriage. I get to know my fiancee's parents through a friend. When I saw her picture, I wanted her. She seemed bubbly and kind and I thought she would be perfect mother figure to Sofia.<br /> When I bumped into the girl in a school, I didn't expect her to be my fiancee. She is actually gorgeous in reality. I also loved her voice when she apologized. I shouldn't be attracted to a girl that is younger 17 years but something says that I should take care of her.<br /> My phone rang and I saw Sofia's nanny calling. I picked up a phone worried that something happened to Sofia.<br /> ''Hello Sir?''<br /> ''Hello Mary?''<br /> ''Sir Sofia wanted to talk to you.''<br /> ''Okay. Hand her a phone.''<br /> I heard some shuffling before Sofia's voice spoke.<br /> ''Hi daddy!'' She giggled.<br /> ''Hi princess! Why did you want to call me? Did something happened?''<br /> ''No, it's fine. I miss you. When will you get home?'' I know she looks sad by the sound of her voice.<br /> ''I have something to finish then I will get home and then we can play together okay? But you must be a good girl to Mary.''<br /> ''Okay. I will wait for you. I love you daddy. Bye.''<br /> ''I love you too. Bye.''<br /> I hung down the phone and sighed. It's always like this. I really need to get married. She is already big and she understands everything except the part about her mother because I never told her about that bimbo.<br /> I returned to work on some papers as I got another phone call. I will seriously brake this phone. I picked up the phone already annoyed.<br /> ''Hello?''<br /> ''Hello Mr. Reed. I'm calling regarding Anna.'' Man voice said over the phone. Who is Anna? He probably noticed my silence when he continued.<br /> ''Your fiancee. I'm her father.''<br /> ''Okay. Is there a problem?''<br /> ''We told her about your marriage and she is not very pleased. So I thought maybe we could arrange a meeting.''<br /> ''Yes, sure. Just a second.''<br /> I looked over to my schedule to see that Friday afternoon is clear.<br /> ''So the Friday afternoon is alright?''<br /> ''Yes. I will inform her about it. Goodbye.''<br /> ''Goodbye.''<br /> Now I have to deal with her. She will learn her place if she has an attitude. I'm not the person to punish but if I have to I'll punish her for being bitchy.<br /> I continued fixing papers and fortunately nobody called again. It was getting late and I promised to Sofia that I will come home to play with her. I finished last papers and exited my office.<br /> When I came home, Sofia ran to me and hugged my legs. I smiled and picked her up.<br /> ''Hello princess.''<br /> ''Hi daddy. Are we going to play now?''<br /> ''Yes we are. But I need to go change my clothes okay? Will you wait for me?''<br /> ''Yes.'' She giggled. I pecked her cheek and put her down. She ran to her playroom immediately.<br /> I went in my bedroom and changed in a sweatpants and white T-shirt. I was tired but I couldn't take down a promise I made to Sofia so I hurried in her room.<br /> We were playing tea party. She really loves tea parties even if there is no tea. I just love her so much. She is the best thing that ever happened in my life.<br /> ''Have you been good today with Mary?''<br /> ''Yes. She gave me cookies for reward.''<br /> ''Really? I'm happy to hear that.''<br /> ''Daddy, can I ask you something?''<br /> ''Whatever you want.''<br /> ''When is mommy going to come?''<br /> I got used to this but now I have different answer for her. She will be happy because of this.<br /> ''I will soon bring mommy home. You can wait for her a little bit longer, right?'' She squealed and hugged me.<br /> ''I can wait for her.''<br /> She pulled away and sat in front of me.<br /> ''Is she pretty?''<br /> ''Very pretty.''<br /> ''I can't wait to play dolls with her and draw pictures with her.'' Her eyes were wide and sparkling as she was talking about my fiancee.<br /> ''Does she like to bake?''<br /> ''Probably. We will find out, but now is time for bed.''<br /> I picked her up and put her in her princess bed. I started reading her a story but she was out on the second page. I pulled her pink duvet over her and pecked her forehead.<br /> It's been a long day today and I just wanted to sleep. I was glad that she liked the idea of getting a mother. It's only important that she is happy.<br /> <br /> Anna's POV<br /> I can't believe that MY parents arangged a marriage for me and to a man that I don't know a name. This is hilarious but miserable at the same time.<br /> And on top of everything, I need to meet him today. I just hope he is nice, at least. I should be meeting him on my own because my parents said it will be better if we have privacy. Like, nothing will help this situation.<br /> I got dressed in a black dress with white dots and put on my white sandals. If I'm going to meet my ''fiancè'', I'm at least going to be decent. I don't like to put a makeup so I just put a mascara and lipgloss.<br /> I put my phone and a wallet in my purse. I got out of the house not bothering to say bye to my parents. The cab got right on time and drove me to the restaurant.<br /> My dad told me to say just his surname because he already reserved the table. I asked the lady at the reception his surname and she led me to a table for two. I expected him to be there but he wasn't.<br /> I ordered water and sat there waiting for him. I was actually curious about his looks. Is he handsome or ugly? I really hope he is nice because I couldn't stand some crazy guy.<br /> After 10 minutes, some older man entered the restaurant and the same lady that escorted me, was now leading him to my table. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion as stood next to me.<br /> He is actually a man I bumped into in the hallway of my school.<br /> ''Hello.'' He said as he sat across me.<br /> ''Sorry this place is already taken.''<br /> ''Yeah I know.'' He shrugged.<br /> ''Then why did you sit here?''<br /> ''Because this chair is taken by me, fiancee.'' He smirked and put his hand on the table.<br /> What? Is he for real? What were my parents thinking when they thought I would marry him? He is for sure older than 30.<br /> ''You are the man I have to marry?''<br /> ''Yeah, is there a problem?''<br /> ''A problem?'' I ask in disbelief.<br /> ''Of course there is a problem. You are old and I can't marry you.'' I raised my voice.<br /> ''First, you'll lower your voice. Second, I won't tolerate you disrespect.'' He paused but continued.<br /> ''I may be older than you but I'm not old.'' He emphasized old.<br /> ''How old are anyway?'' I ask.<br /> ''Thirty five.'' I widen my eyes.<br /> ''Do you know how old I am?''<br /> ''You are eighteen.''<br /> ''And you have no problem with that?''<br /> I ask feeling surprised how nonchalant he is about this whole situation.<br /> He leaned closer to me on a table.<br /> ''Let me tell you something. I'm not marrying you so we can be lovey dovey . Understand?'' He had this threatening look that made me feel fear.<br /> ''Then why do you want to marry me?''<br /> ''I have a daughter. Her biological mother is a bimbo who left her to me. She has been always asking me where is her mother and I couldn't bring myself to tell her. I just want her to have a mother figure in her life. She already got excited when I mentioned you to her. So you have no choice then to marry me, alright? And if you have this fu ing attitude, you are going to get it fixed or I will fix it for you.'' He spat last sentence harshly.<br /> ''What about my education? I want to go on a college.'' I say still standing my ground.<br /> ''Who said you are not going on a college? I won't marry so you'll be perfect housewife but just to be a mother to Sofia.''<br /> ''How old is she?''<br /> ''Three years old.'' I saw his face soften as he spoke about her.<br /> After a short silence, I spoke up again.<br /> ''Can I at least think about all of this?''<br /> ''There is nothing for you to think about, you'll just have to get used to this. Because there is no declining.''<br /> I nodded my head, biting my lip to stop tears from falling. I took a sip of water to clear my throat. I really have no escape from this, huh?<br /> ''I think I should go home.'' I took my purse and got up.<br /> ''I'll drive you.'' He already got up before I could protest.<br /> He led us to a really nice car. I told him the directions to my house and he came really fast. I muttered bye and got out before he managed to say something.<br /> <br /> Edward's POV<br /> ''Daddy when are we going to meet mommy?'' Sofia whined tugging on my hand.<br /> ''Soon princess.''<br /> ''But you said that a week ago.''<br /> ''Sofia you need to know that mommy will come for sure but she wouldn't like her daughter to be impatient. Okay?''<br /> She made pouted lips but nodded.<br /> ''Okay.''<br /> ''Do you want to go play now?'' I say trying to lighten her mood.<br /> ''Yes.'' She chirped and ran to the room.<br /> I took my phone and dialled Anna's number. I was glad that she answered fast.<br /> ''Hello?''<br /> ''Hi Anna.''<br /> ''Hi.''<br /> ''I wanted to ask you when you are free?''<br /> ''Why?''<br /> ''Sofia wants to meet you.''<br /> ''Oh really?'' She sounded happy about it.<br /> ''Yes. I wanted to introduce you to her. So if you have time-'' I was cut off.<br /> ''Yeah, sure. Is Thursday okay?''<br /> ''Yeah perfect.''<br /> ''Great.''<br /> ''Thank you Anna. See you in two days.''<br /> ''Bye.''<br /> She hung down and I put my phone on a table. I'm surprised that she was chill about meeting her. Sofia is like magnet for people and maybe for Anna also.<br /> Anna is actually really pretty and I'm really glad that I chose her. She also seem that she will take good care of Sofia which I'll be happy to see. Sofia just wants a mother and mother's love.<br /> I know I'm not good enough to take a roll of a mother but I really put a great effort in these past three years. My daughter is worth everything on this world and I wouldn't trade a world for her. She is small bundle of joy in my life.<br /> She is the one that can make me smile easily and melt right when I see her. I feel like a little child around her and that brings memories. She is my everything. I just hope Anna will like her.<br /> <br /> Anna's POV<br /> I'm so nervous. I'm going to meet the kid that I was supposed to be a mother to. She is basically my daughter then.<br /> Edward told me to come to their house so we could be more comfortable. I'm also nervous because of that. I'm going to live there in a few months.<br /> I didn't know what to wear but then decided on a white crop top with thin straps and blue jeans. I slipped in my shoes and tied the laces.<br /> I called the cab and gave a driver the address. After 10 minutes or so, we arrived at big mansion. I gawked at the house in awe. It's so pretty and beautiful.<br /> After I payed my far, I entered the big door. Driveway was also big and there were few cars different colors. I knocked on the front door and not surprisingly, Edward opened it.<br /> He checked me from head to toe and his eyes darkened. He moved aside motioning me to come in.<br /> "Get inside." I passed past him and waited for him to close the door.<br /> "Where is Sofia?" I ask looking around this beautiful mansion.<br /> "She is upstairs. Go sit in in the living room, I'll go get her." Does he really have to be so rude? I brushed off his rude behaviour and found my way to the living room.<br /> This room is huge. Probably the biggest living room, I ever saw. There are two black leather couches with matching armchair. And there is enormous TV across them. I could get used to this.<br /> I soon heard giggles coming in the living room. I turned around to see Edward holding a hand to a beautiful little girl. She is so gorgeous and she got her father's look which I'm not complaining about. I mean they are both really pretty looking.<br /> I smiled at her showing my white teeth. She seemed to be in some daze before she looked over at Edward.<br /> "Daddy she is very pretty."<br /> "She is." He smiled to her. I blushed at their words and his smile is really beautiful. But as soon as he looked over at me his smile disappeared and he replaced it with a stern look like always.<br /> I ignored him and crounched down to her eye level.<br /> "Thank you Sofia. You are really gorgeous too." I smiled when I saw her cheeks getting pink.<br /> "Thank you." She smiled shyly. I just want to squish her chubby cheeks.<br /> "How about you two get to know each other and I'll come when is dinner time." Edward said.<br /> "Daddy you won't play with us?" Sofia said with a pout. Aww.<br /> "No princess. I need to work but I will come for the dinner, okay?"<br /> "Okay."<br /> "Princess maybe you should go to your room and prepare toys while I talk to Anna about something."<br /> She nodded and ran off upstairs. She seems really active kid since she has a speed for running that fast. I lifted myself and turned to look at him.<br /> "While I'm gone, I don't want any problem to occur. Dinner time is around 7 o'clock and I'll be here by then."<br /> "Okay." I say.<br /> "Better." He went upstairs and I followed him as I remebered that Sofia is waiting for me. He pointed to the door on the left and I nodded. The doors were open and I saw Sofia already on the chair with tea cups on it.<br /> I sat at the floor and criss crossed my legs.<br /> "We are having a tea party." She giggled.<br /> "May I ask if you would pour me some tea, princess?" I acted the same as her which seemed to excite her.<br /> She poured invisible tea in the white princess cup in front of me. I acted as I was drinking it on which she giggled. She is really bubbly kid and always happy as I see.<br /> "The tea is really delicious, my princess."<br /> "There is actually no tea, mommy." She giggled but once she realized what she said she covered her mouth with her small hand. I got some really happy feeling inside me when she called me mommy.<br /> "I'm sorry for calling you mommy."<br /> "Why are you sorry?" I ask confused.<br /> "Daddy told me to not call you mommy yet."<br /> "Daddy huh?" I say annoyed. This idiot. She nodded her head.<br /> "Sofia, do you want me to be your mommy?" I ask her softly. She again nodded her head causing her braids to bounce.<br /> "Then I'm your mommy and you can call me like that." I smiled.<br /> She squealed and jumped in my arms. I catched her and hugged her tightly. She is so innocent and fragile little girl. I just can't say anything that will hurt her.<br /> "Thank you mommy." She smiled and her eyes sparkled.<br /> "Thank you too for accepting me." She put big wet peck on my cheek.<br /> "You are the prettiest mommy ever." She said.<br /> "Thank you." I pecked her forehead and got up. I lifted her up and sat her on my hip.<br /> "Do you want to show mommy the kitchen?" She nodded her head.<br /> I exited the room with her in my arms and she pointed to the stairs. I climbed downstairs and she pointed to the right. There was a big open kitchen with huge island. I saw her high chair and put her inside.<br /> "Do you want me to bake cookies?" I ask her.<br /> ''You know how to bake?" She widened her eyes as she couldn't believe what I just said.<br /> "Of course I know." I said proud of myself.<br /> "That's is so cool mommy. Can I help you?"<br /> "Sure, but I need to take the ingredients first, okay?" She nodded her head in anticipation.<br /> I searched through every cupboard until I found everything I needed. I took her out of her chair and put her on the island carefully. We were making cookie dough together and all I can say about her is that she is really precious.<br /> After cookies were done, I put them in a plate. I wondered who is making dinner when there is nobody in the house then some older woman I now know as Mary entered the house.<br /> She introduced herself as Sofia's nanny and a cook in this house. She was happy when I introduced myself as Edward's fiancee even if I'm not so happy. I took Sofia to the living room and played some cartoons on the TV until dinner was ready.<br /> She was sitting in my lap leaned on my chest when I heard the door opening. I turned around to see Edward with some suitcase in his hand. He looked over to us, loosening his tie.<br /> "Hello princess." He smiled at her and picked her up.<br /> "Hi daddy."<br /> "Were you good today?"<br /> "I was. Me and mommy were playing then we baked cookies."<br /> He looked over at me with furrowed eyebrows. I raised my eyebrow at him but he brushed it off and turned to look at Sofia.<br /> "That's great. You need to wash your hands now then we are going to eat a dinner, okay?" She nodded her head and he pecked her cheek then put her down.<br /> After she runned to the bathroom, he looked at me in confusion.<br /> "What?" I ask annoyed.<br /> ''I told her to call me mommy after a certain person said no."<br /> "I just thought you would be uncomfortable with it."<br /> "I'm not." Sofia came back and pulled my hand towards the dinning room.<br /> There were three plates set up with different food on a table. I sat next to the Edward and Sofia sat next to me. I cut her food in small pieces so she could chew easily. I noticed that Edward was staring at me but ignored it.<br /> "Daddy can mommy stay for tonight, please?" She made puppy eyes.<br /> "If she wants to." He shrugged.<br /> "Will you mommy?"<br /> "I can stay." I couldn't say no to this cute face so I accepted.<br /> She squealed and hugged me. I'm actually proud that I can be a mother to such cute and kind little girl. She really can lighten everyone's mood quickly.<br /> Sofia was sleepy so we put her in a bed and Edward led me to the guest room. He told me he would bring his shirt for me to sleep in because he doesn't have any woman's clothes.<br /> I laid in a bed after I changed myself. This was really excited day. I actually became Sofia's mom and I like it. His shirt smells nice and just lures me to sleep. And that's exactly what I did.<br /> <br /> ''Mommy, I miss you. When will you come?'' Sofia whined on the other side of a phone.<br /> ''Aww, I miss you too baby. I'll come this afternoon.''<br /> ''Yayy. I can't wait to see you mommy.''<br /> ''Me too princess.'' I smiled.<br /> The bell rang for the end of a lunch.<br /> ''Baby, mommy needs to go.''<br /> ''Okay mommy. Bye.'' She made a peck sound as she hung down the phone.<br /> I put my phone in a pocket and looked over to the girls. They were smirking at me.<br /> ''You turned into a mother material in just two weeks.'' Kelly said.<br /> ''You should see her. She is so cute and adorable.'' I say.<br /> ''She is already calling you mommy?'' Milla asked.<br /> ''At first Edward told her not to but I saw that she was sad about it so I let her.'' I shrugg.<br /> We got in a classroom and I sat with Jennifer. I was thinking about Edward and our relationship. I know that we don't love each other and all that, but to ly talk? Like about some imporatant stuff or just as friends.<br /> He is never home when I come to see Sofia and when we see each other it's usually just ''hi'' or ''bye''. Not even the worst enemies talk so little.<br /> I was thinking about all of this until I needed to go to Sofia. I learned that her favourite snacks are gummy bears so I bought them on my way there.<br /> I came in the house and didn't bother to knock on it. Sofia probably heard me entering when she rushed to the stairs but fell on a floor.<br /> I rushed to her and picked her up.<br /> ''Baby are you okay?''<br /> ''I'm okay mommy.'' She giggled and pecked my cheek. A wave of relief passed through me.<br /> ''Are you sure? Does anything hurt you?''<br /> ''I'm fine.''<br /> ''Okay. Did Mary bath you?''<br /> ''Not yet.'' She shook her head.<br /> ''Alright then. Mommy will give you a bath.'' I pecked her cheek and went in her room.<br /> I took pink panties for her and blue onesie. I took her in a bathroom and started the warm water. I put mix for bubble bath which made her squeal in happiness.<br /> When the water was ready, I undressed her and put her in the tub. She seemed to enjoy it a lot. I washed her hair and body then let her play with her toys for a while.<br /> I took her out of the bathtub and dried her off. When I finished, I put her on my hip and went downstairs to eat something.<br /> ''Did you like the bath?'' I ask her putting her in her high chair.<br /> ''Yeah mommy. You make the best baths ever.'' She smiled.<br /> ''I will always do them just for you.''<br /> I made us toast then gave her gummy bears I bought. She was so happy about it and she was going to eat whole bag if I didn't stop her.<br /> Sofia wanted me to hold her and I could tell she was sleepy. I took her in my arms and she immediately wrapped her tiny arms around my neck. I was keeping her bottom and started rocking her slowly.<br /> I could tell she was out when I heard her breath even. Suddenly bell on the front door rang. I opened door in confusion to see some older woman in very tight clothes.<br /> ''Hello. Who do you need?''<br /> ''I came to see my daughter.'' I cringed on her voice.<br /> ''I'm sorry. You must mistook something.''<br /> ''I didn't mistake anything. I came to see my daughter Sofia.'' She acted stubborn.<br /> ''I repeat again that you mistook something, because I'm Sofia's mother.'' I was already annoyed with her arrival.<br /> ''I gave birth to her. That means I'm her mother.''<br /> ''No you are not her mother or you'll ever be.'' I heard familiar voice behind her.<br /> Edward came next to me and wrapped his arm around me. I felt Sofia started moving around so stroked her back to put her back to sleep.<br /> ''I don't want to see you ever again, in front of my daughter or my fiancee.'' He said protectively tightening his hand on my stomach.<br /> ''Fiancee? This bimbo is your fiancee?'' She checked me up and down in disgust.<br /> ''I said shut up and get lost bimbo.'' He spat and leaned in my touch as it would calm him down.<br /> ''You'll see what was going to happen.'' She threatened and turned around then left.<br /> ''Mommy?'' I heard Sofia's sleepy voice. Jeez, this woman just awoken my daughter with her awful voice.
