"You have to be joking." <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 /> "This is no joke. You will be marrying Garrett Hunter."<br /> "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.<br /> ______________<br /> Lily Bray stood in front of the mirror admiring herself. Her skin glowed from her previous run with the pups of the pack. Even though she was the daughter of the Alpha, she enjoyed helping out with the pups.<br /> 'You should wear the red dress,' Dina, her wolf, suggested.<br /> 'You're just being petty,' Lily replied as she looked at the dresses on her bed. The festive red would be the best choice since all her other dresses were too bright for the winter. She picked it up and looked at herself in the mirror.<br /> 'No, I'm not. Matthew said we look nice in red. We should wear it! It's also one of the colors in his pack,' Dina added.<br /> Lily smiled at the thought of wearing the colors of the Grey Blood Pack. She, of course, was going to be their Luna after the mating ceremony. The very thought of it made her blush. Who would've thought that she would be mated to a future Alpha?<br /> 'We deserve it, no matter our rank! Matthew doesn't care that we are an Omega, so we shouldn't care anymore either,' Dina said confidently, 'Put on the red dress.'<br /> Lily didn't need to be convinced as she quickly began to get dressed. She could hear the clicking of heels and immediately knew who it was before she heard the voice.<br /> "Lily, what's taking you so long?" Her sister, Brandy, yelled from outside her bedroom door.<br /> "Coming!" Lily quickly put on lip gloss and smoothed out the wrinkles in her festive red dress before rushing to the door. She opened it to see Brandy standing there looking uninterested as always.<br /> "Took you long enough," Brandy said. She looked her up and down and her eye twitched slightly before saying, "Cute dress." Anyone that didn't know Brandy would have thought she was complimenting Lily, but Lily knew better. Brandy disapproved of everything she wore and did.<br /> "You're just upset that you couldn't find the dress in your size," Lily retorted. She knew that Brandy was looking at the dress. It wasn't her finest moment to be so petty, but she found some satisfaction from it as Brandy always got what she wanted.<br /> Brandy replied with a scowl, "That dress is old news. I found one that was much better and more fitting for me." She walked past Lily, making sure to bump her with her shoulder. Lily resisted the urge to snarl. She would not let her ruin the evening.<br /> Brandy wore a low-cut black form-fitting dress with black heels. Her hair was pulled up high in a ponytail. She had blush on her cheek, and she wore bright red lipstick.<br /> 'She looks like a street walker and ugly at that,' Dina commented.<br /> 'That's not nice,' Lily responded.<br /> 'It's the truth. You should hear what Mable says about you. Brandy can't even dress decently at home. Who is she flaunting for?' Dina countered.<br /> Dina never liked Brandy as she tormented Lily growing up. Everything had to be her way and if Lily resisted, Brandy made sure to hurt her in some way. As soon as Lily could shift, Dina made it her business to take a swipe at Brandy.<br /> Lily and Brandy entered the dining hall where her parents were. They were sipping spirits and talking but stopped as soon as they entered.<br /> "Oh, you look so lovely!" her mother said to Brandy.<br /> Lily had to refrain from rolling her eyes as Brandy practically glowed from her mother's compliment. Brandy gave Lily a smug look before sitting next to their mother.<br /> Her mother gave Lily a momentary glance before saying, "Oh, Lily. You know, red isn't a good color for you, but at least you've been eating well at school. How are your studies going?"<br /> "I passed all my exams. Straight As again," Lily said happily.<br /> Lily sat down in front of Brandy, her mother, and her father. She thought it was odd that they were sitting across from her but pushed the thought out of her mind.<br /> Her mother casually remarked, "That's lovely, honey," before changing the subject as if concluding a formality. "Do you have that dress I mentioned, Brandy? The one in white?"<br /> "Yes, I did. I got it at a discount too. We had a credit once we returned the other dress," Brandy explained.<br /> Lily lost her enthusiasm when she understood that, yet again, no one was interested in what she had accomplished. She poured herself a glass of spirits and downed it. Lily looked at her father, who seemed too busy to greet her while he was looking at his phone.<br /> 'Do not worry about them. We have mates now. They will be our family,' Dina said to cheer Lily up. Lily only had to look forward to returning to her dorm and the upcoming mating ceremony. She would be where she was wanted, with Matthew.<br /> Her mother and Brandy had been conversing when her father cleared his throat, drawing their attention to him. Her father said, "I am happy that you are doing well in your studies, Lily, but there won't be a need to go back in the Spring."<br /> "What do you mean?" Lily asked.<br /> "Now that you are mated, it is not a productive use of your time. You must get ready to be a devoted mate," Her father responded.<br /> "Well, I can do both. I have already worked it out. I will be able to attend Luna lessons during the day and school at night," Lily explained. She spent a lot of time and effort with the academic advisor to make that arrangement.<br /> "That money could be used for something else, like your sister's mating ceremony," her father proposed.<br /> "Brandy! You have a mate?! That's exciting! Why didn't you tell me? We can go dress shopping together!" Lily exclaimed happily.<br /> Brandy scoffed and said, "You won't need a dress. Daddy, just tell her already. This is just sad."<br /> "Tell me what?" Lily said, looking confused as she turned to look back at her father. "Tell me what, Dad?"<br /> "I had a discussion with Alpha Jack of the Grey Blood Pack. 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, and then in a week, you will have a mating ceremony with someone more on your level, his brother, Garrett Hunter."<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 /> "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, deeper! Oh, yes! 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, her sister, on all knees, back arched, while her fated mate was thrusting in her with abandon. Brandy lifted her head and smirked at Lily. It finally clicked now.<br /> Matthew didn't answer his phone because he was with her.<br /> The anxiety attacks, the waves of pain were Matthew making love to 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 /> "Oh, I'm coming," Matthew groaned as he released into Brandy. Brandy's eyes rolled in satisfaction as she bounced back against Matthew, milking him of every drop.<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, what the heck?" 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 /> "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?"

I thought you’d stay in New York without a job for a long time. So, when can you send us money?” her mom asked, causing the smile on her lips to disappear.<br /> She sighed, “Well, Mom, it’s on the payday, at the end of the month.”<br /> “At the end of the month? That’s long enough of waiting. What will your siblings eat? Shall we just let ourselves go hungry and wait for your remittance at the end of the month? Can’t you give it in advance? Find a way, daughter,” her mom ordered, and she didn’t know how to find a solution.<br /> “Mom, it wouldn’t be good if I cash advance from my job right away. I might get a bad reputation. It’s my first time there,” she explained to her mom, hoping she would have mercy.<br /> “I don’t think so. If you cash advance, you’ll pay it from your salary, right? I know that, daughter. Even though I didn’t get an education, I won’t be beaten in things like that. So, find a solution,” her mom insisted. She didn’t speak anymore. She didn’t make excuses that she might not be able to do it. And like she always says, “Alright, Mom. I’ll find a way,” she just said to end their conversation.<br /> After saying goodbye, she put down the telephone. She thought that knowing about her job would add to her happiness, but now she has more problems to worry about.<br /> “Leave it for tomorrow,” she whispered before going to sleep.<br /> *<br /> Just like she told her boss, she arrived at the company at 5am. Luckily, Mr. Salazar had already endorsed her. At the reception, she was given the key to her boss’ office, so she decided to go up and see what she could do in the office while waiting for him.<br /> When she entered the office, she saw an empty desk outside. It looked like that would be her workstation in the office, so she placed her things there. Next, she entered Mr. Salazar’s office, and she also saw that it was clean and there was nothing else to tidy up or fix, so she just wandered around. It seemed as if she memorized the locations of the files or whatever he could ask her to do.<br /> She turned on the aircon and the humidifier and sprayed the air freshener so that by the time her boss arrived, the office would be refreshing. After that, she went out and made coffee in the coffee maker so it would be ready when her boss arrived.<br /> “Psst! Are you the new one?” she heard someone whisper near the door.<br /> She turned and saw a tall woman wearing office attire. She was beautiful and sexy, her cleavage was showing, she had curly hair and her makeup was done nicely.<br /> ‘Wow, the atmosphere here is intense, I was not prepared.’<br /> Even though her eyebrows were raised, she smiled at her. “Good morning. Yes, I’m Hestia Coronel, the new secretary of Mr. Salazar. How can I help you, Ma’am?” she asked, and the woman raised her eyebrows even more.<br /> “Ms. Coronel, I’m Kelly Anderson,” she introduced herself and stood in front of her. “Now that you’re new here in the office, you should know the people you should look up to. Remember your position here as secretary. Just secretary. Don’t attempt anything towards Sir Raven, because he is taken. Is it clear?” she asked while smirking.<br /> She nodded, still smiling. “Yes, don’t worry, Ma’am, I know my position here as secretary and I will stay professional, I assure you that.”<br /> “Well, that’s good to hear. Just in case you see someone getting close to Sir Raven, you tell me right away, okay?”<br /> Because of what she said, Hestia raised her eyebrows. She wondered who this woman was in her boss’ life, but she didn’t ask any more as she might offend her.<br /> “Good morning, Ms. Coronel,” she heard a voice after a knock on the door. She saw that it was another woman. She looked at Kelly and it seemed like she didn’t expect to see her there. “Ms. Kelly? I didn’t know you were here.”<br /> “Good morning, Sandra, I’m leaving too. I just talked to Ms. Coronel,” she reasoned out before looking at her. “Remember our deal, Ms. Coronel. I’m leaving now, don’t make a mistake,” she said and then left.<br /> Hestia furrowed her brows at what she said.<br /> “Do you have a deal with Ms. Anderson?” the woman asked her.<br /> Hestia shook her head. “I don’t know. We don’t have a deal, but she told me to always remember my place as a secretary and tell her if someone is getting close to Sir.”<br /> Because of what she said, the woman laughed. “Oh my! Don’t mind her. Kelly is like that with newbies, especially here in Sir Salazar’s office. But Kelly is from the treasury department. Her office is on the 5th floor, and they’re quite curious about Mr. Salazar’s new secretary. That’s just how she welcomes newbies so be careful with her.”<br /> ‘Oh dear, I thought she was Sir’s girlfriend. She’s just an employee. I almost believed that she was Sir’s girlfriend.’<br /> “I thought she was Mr. Salazar’s partner.”<br /> “What? Oh, no, many people just develop feelings for Sir, but he’s single. That’s why many are getting close to him like Kelly, hoping for a Cinderella story,” she said with a smile.<br /> “Oh, I see. That’s good then,” she said and furrowed her brows assuming that it was about her, so she retracted her statement. “What I meant is, it’s good that there is none yet, but it seems impossible for Sir to not have a girlfriend? With his wealth and good looks? None at all?! Oh, wait, Ma’am, what’s your name by the way?” she asked because she’s been talking to her, but she still doesn’t know her name. <br /> The woman she’s talking to smiled frugally and shook her hands. “I’m Sandra Villarde, I’m the HR supervisor, and I also became Sir’s temporary secretary when his previous secretary left.”<br /> ‘Oh my! She’s the HR! I was just chatting away!’<br /> Her eyes widened, “Oh, Ma’am! Hello! I’m sorry for chatting.”<br /> “That’s okay, and just call me Sandra. By the way, you’re early.” She looked at her wristwatch. “But I think that’s perfect, so I’ll have time to give you a tour before Sir arrives,” she said, handing her a leather notebook. “Here’s the schedule of Mr. Salazar for the whole week. You’re lucky he doesn’t have many meetings today, except for the board meeting in the afternoon.”<br /> “Okay, Ma’am, noted,” she said, opening the notebook to look at her boss’ schedule. She saw that he didn’t have many appointments today, but tomorrow would be a busy day.<br /> The woman handed her something else, “And this one is the guidelines you need to review for your job, the company’s by-laws and rules, and this one is some notes I made about Sir Salazar,” she said with a wide smile.<br /> ‘The HR lady is really nice, and she even gave me notes about Mr. Salazar. This will be a big help for me, especially in avoiding a bad impression with him.’<br /> “As you can see, it says there that he needs to be at the office by 8 am sharp. He’s not strict about being late, so it’s okay if you’re late. When it comes to leaving, don’t go home right away. Do overtime even if he’s not around. Mr. Salazar is nice, but a bit strict, and of course, a perfectionist.”<br /> She nodded, “Okay, Ma’am, noted.”<br /> “And don’t forget his coffee every morning. He likes it creamy with three spoons of sugar,” she instructed again, and she nodded once more.<br /> She didn’t expect that her boss likes his coffee sweet.<br /> “There’s a cafeteria here. Since it’s still early, we can have breakfast first, then I’ll give you a tour,” she invited her before they left the room.<br /> While walking, she didn’t know if it was the right timing, but the woman seemed nice, so she took the chance. “Ma’am, I know this might be shameless of me to ask, especially since it’s my first day today, but Ma’am, is it possible for me to get a cash advance? It’s an emergency, I really need it.”<br /> She stopped at her words and stared at her. It seemed like she didn’t expect what she was about to say. She won’t be surprised if she’s being judged now.<br /> ‘Oh, no! Eat me, ground!’<br /> “Ma’am, never mind, forget what I said,” she quickly apologized.<br /> The woman shook her head, “No, um... I’m not expecting you to ask that. It’s just that… it’s the first time someone asked for a cash advance on their first day.”<br /> “That’s what I also thought,” she said shyly, feeling like hiding under the table.<br /> “It’s not possible. But because Mr. Salazar is your boss, you need his approval. Wait, I have a form here,” she said, opening her clipboard and handing her something. “Here, just have him sign this and give it back to me so we can process it with the accounting department.”<br /> *<br /> Raven walked up to his office, and as he opened the door, the new secretary greeted him right away. She was dressed neatly—not provocative and looked respectable. But she wasn’t overly covered either. She also had makeup on, but it wasn’t too heavy. Her glasses suited her.<br /> Aside from that, he noticed the big smile on her face.<br /> “Good morning, Sir. I’m Hestia An—”<br /> “Yes, I know you. No need to introduce yourself again,” he interrupted, causing her to fall silent. He pursed his lips and nodded. He glanced at his wristwatch. “You’re early. It’s only 7:30.”<br /> “Yes, Sir! I told you I’ve been here since 5 am,” she replied.<br /> He frowned but didn’t bother asking further. It’s rare for a secretary to arrive before him. “Did you meet Sandra?”<br /> “Yes, Sir,” she replied respectfully.<br /> Raven nodded. “Did she show you around?”<br /> “Yes, Sir. She also gave me my ID and everything I need for work.”<br /> “Good, that’s good then.” Raven thought to himself that it didn’t seem bad that he chose her as his secretary.<br /> “And, Sir, I already prepared your coffee, so please go inside, and I’ll bring it to you,” she said, so he turned around and went inside.<br /> As he entered, he didn’t expect what he saw.<br /> The air conditioning was already on, and it smelled nice. It’s good that she did it on her own.<br /> He sat in his swivel chair, and soon she came in and handed him his coffee.<br /> “Sir, here’s your coffee, just the way you like it,” she said, making him curious.<br /> He accepted the coffee and took a sip, but soon spat it out. “Son of a! Is this coffee or just pure sugar?! Why is it so sweet?! I don’t want sugar in my coffee!” Raven shouted, so the girl suddenly stilled.<br /> “I hate it when everything goes wrong early in the morning!” Raven yelled, causing Hestia to panic.<br /> All Hestia could think about was the fear of getting fired. On her first day, she had already messed up, and she dreaded the possibility of her boss getting irritated and firing her. She couldn’t afford to lose this job, as she didn’t know where else she would end up. So, even though she felt disheartened and on the verge of tears, she quickly apologized to her boss.<br /> “Sorry, Sir. I apologize. Sir... I’ll clean this up,” she pleaded with Raven before focusing on the spilled coffee. She didn’t even mind that the coffee had stained her blouse. She rushed to find a cloth to wipe the spilled liquid off the floor.<br /> As she cleaned the floor and caught a glimpse of her reflection, she couldn’t help but feel sorry for herself. Not because of what she was doing at that moment, but because of the reason why it had happened. Sandra had instructed her to put sugar in her boss’ coffee. Sandra used to be Raven’s temporary secretary, so she should have known that he didn’t like sugar in his coffee. But that’s what Sandra had told her to do, deliberately provoking Raven even though she knew he would be angry. <br /> What was the point? To get scolded? She used to think that her dear Ma’am Sandra cared for her, that she looked out for her, but apparently, she didn’t. She didn’t expect that the person she trusted would do this to her. In that moment, she couldn’t hold back her tears. She wiped them off her cheek and tried to stop them from pouring, but she was overcome with intense emotions. Her tears started flowing again.<br /> “Are you crying?” her boss asked, his annoyance still evident in his voice. “Stop with all the apologies and do something! I don’t want a weepy secretary. Fix yourself up, stand there! And one more thing? You’re my secretary, why are you the one cleaning? Are you a janitor?” he sarcastically remarked, causing Hestia to freeze.<br /> She panicked once again at his tone of speech.<br /> She quickly stood up, wiped away her tears, and looked at Raven, saying, “Sorry—”<br /> “Stop apologizing and get moving! Go to the powder room and fix yourself!” he shouted, and he knew she heard him.<br /> ---<br /> Raven noticed Hestia’s panic as she ran towards the powder room, her blouse drenched with coffee that he accidentally spilled on his secretary. He admitted that he kind of felt guilty for dirtying her clothes. He couldn’t handle another secretary resigning on him, especially not after ten secretaries who had resigned out of fear. Most of them didn’t even last a day with him. His schedule was such a mess, and he didn’t want Sandra to return as his secretary either.<br /> He glanced at the form that fell from her when she dashed into the powder room. He picked it up and saw that it was a cash advance form. He quickly pocketed the paper and looked towards the powder room. “I’ll go ahead to the conference room, you follow there immediately, make it quick!” he shouted, and he knows that Hestia heard him.<br /> He grabbed his laptop and left the office to get to the conference room first. He just hoped that Hestia would follow him there. Unlike his other secretaries who didn’t finish the day and just escaped. He wanted to wait for her, but he might be late for the important board meeting today.<br /> ---<br /> “You can do this, Hestia. Don’t lose hope, you need this job because otherwise, you’ll go hungry,” she told herself while looking at her reflection in the mirror.<br /> Compared to earlier, she was now a bit calmer. She needed to calm herself down if she wanted to get anywhere. So, she decided to follow Sir Raven quickly, or else she might lose her job if she lingered too long in the powder room. She walked out of the powder room and looked at her stained blouse. She grabbed her coat hanging on her chair and put it on to hide the stain. After that, she headed to the conference room where the other board members were waiting. She saw her boss having coffee at the coffee corner of the room, so she approached him.<br /> “Good, my secretary is here. Let’s start,” he said, carrying his cup of coffee and sitting at the end of the table.<br /> Hestia was speechless, realizing that she was the only one he had been waiting for.<br /> How embarrassing! She felt like hiding under the table out of shame, especially since everyone in the room was looking at her, probably thinking she was trying to be important. She approached her boss and sat on the vacant chair beside him. She sat there and took out her notebook and cellphone, then opened the recorder to record the discussions in the meeting.<br /> <br /> “Take the minutes of this meeting,” Raven whispered to her, and she nodded. “Then we will talk after this,” he added.<br /> <br /> Because of that, she became nervous again, thinking that she might hear a terrifying sermon from her boss later.<br /> <br /> ‘He might fire me!’<br /> That’s what she shouted in her mind. At this moment, she felt like crying again, feeling scared. But she held back, and focused on the meeting, hoping that Raven wouldn’t notice her wandering thoughts and that she would be focused on their conversation.<br /> <br /> The board meeting started, and she did her job as the secretary. Aside from recording the discussions so she wouldn’t forget anything, she also started taking down notes to make it easier for her to transfer them into the report she would pass to Raven.<br /> <br /> She glanced at her boss who was speaking directly, and it was obvious that aside from his good looks, he also seemed intelligent. She thought that maybe the reason why this business was successful was because of her boss’ intelligence in running it.<br /> <br /> The meeting, which was about the new products that needed to be launched, lasted all day, so they had lunch there as well. Food was served to them while the meeting continued. And it was almost four o’clock when it ended.<br /> <br /> One by one, everyone left the room. She folded her notebook before looking at her boss who was talking to one of the managers in this company. After that, Raven excused himself and looked at her.<br /> <br /> “Let’s go, I still need to talk to you before you go home,” Raven said to her before leaving the room without a glance.<br /> <br /> Her heart was pounding as she followed him back to their office. On their way there, she repeatedly thought about what she would say, her pleas if Raven would say that she was going to be fired. So, when they arrived at the office and Raven hadn’t even sat on his swivel chair yet, she burst into tears and begged for mercy for whatever he might say.<br /> <br /> ‘It’s better to say it first before he tells me that I’m fired.’<br /> <br /> “Sir! Sir! Please, I beg of you!” she said before kneeling and approaching Raven. “I’m really sorry, Sir! It won’t happen again! I won’t make a mistake in preparing your coffee. I won’t be late for the meeting!” she continued, with her eyes closed, and approached Raven. At this moment, she didn’t hesitate to embrace Raven’s legs while still pleading. “Please, Sir! Don’t fire me! I need this job! Please don’t let me go,” she begged, not caring where her face was, while hugging Raven.<br /> <br /> Raven placed his hand on his face when he felt Hestia’s face right in the middle of his lower body, where his readiness was hidden and was now being affected by it.<br /> <br /> “Hes—” He tried calling her name, but the embrace tightened, and her head was pressed closer to the center of his pants.<br /> <br /> “Sir! Please! I won’t let go until you tell me that you won’t fire me!” she pleaded, while pressing her face even more on what she thought was just his knee. Until she felt something hard and throbbing inside his pants, which she felt on her cheek. Because of that, she opened her eyes and saw where her face was facing.<br /> <br /> 👇👇👇<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to open Dreame to continue reading"Secretly Living With My Boss"<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book)	INSTALL_MOBILE_APP	http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.d	192144063986866	Dreame Great Stories	https://facebook.com/61554881265921	18	3	443,169,321,727,046	2024-04-10 02:00	person_profile	eligible	NONE	0	1	0	Install now	Dreame Great Stories	120208549632290577	play.google.com	NONE	image	Great Story Starts Here	http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dreame.reader	2024-04-10 02:08	https://scontent.forf1-4.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/434484611_792214415764690_2589397312428825395_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=107&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=XhhnQJDvJHwAb66vi9B&_nc_ht=scontent.forf1-4.fna&oh=00_AfA2iUbySZBPVkVTA4MC4CM_mbUxsBJdEs_UDh67rNplug&oe=661D0686	person_profile	0			3	Dreame Great Stories	2024-04-10 02:00	View Edit Delete

If you choose your brother, then be ready for divorce. But if you choose me, then you have to end your relationship with your brother."<br /> Holding the divorce papers, she walked inside the house. The same place she once called hers. <br /> She wanted to talk to him, even if it was for the last time. But divorce is not a joke.<br /> She suddenly froze in her place when she heard groaning and moaning sounds. <br /> Liam was frozen. He didn't expect her to catch him in an act. <br /> They heard footsteps, and finally, the lawyer came inside.<br /> She brought out a pen and opened the divorce papers without another word.<br /> "Babe, where are --"<br /> A girl came out only covered in a blanket.<br /> His Ex-wife, for the first time, slapped him.<br /> ————————<br /> She sighed and looked down at the file in her hands. She wanted to tell her husband, but she didn't know what to do. She'd known about it for a week, but she couldn't muster the courage to tell him.<br /> "Baby..." She was startled by her husband's voice and quickly hid the file under the pillows. She stood up, smiling at him as he walked in and hugged her.<br /> He moaned slightly, cradling his head in her crook and smiling contentedly. "Babe, what happened? You appear tired." He hummed as he tightened his grip on her and pecked her all over her nape.<br /> But she eventually pushed him away, making him pout. She chuckled and pointed to the restroom. Sulking, he walked to the toilet.<br /> She sighed, grabbing the file and hiding it in the cupboard once more. Whatever happens,she has to tell him. It's critical.<br /> After heating the food, she set the table.<br /> While she was busy with her chores, Liam began eating the food. His phone began to ring, forcing him to answer it.<br /> "Okay. Okay, fine, I am coming." Amelia looked at him with raised eyebrows.<br /> "I have to go. Rose and Luna asked for me,and they said it was urgent. I even heard Rose crying. I need to go there." Amelia nodded her head, and Liam ran outside after pecking her forehead.<br /> She frowned, slapping her forehead,remembering that she had to meet her brother today. She was about to get her bag,but then she got a message from her brother's fiancée asking her to come to the place. She messaged her.<br /> Amelia wanted to know why, but she went to the place after reading that it was urgent. She knew Kelly would never message her something like this. The matter seems serious.<br /> She went to the place and was left petrified seeing Rose, Luna, her brother, Kelly, and even Liam. She ran towards her brother after witnessing severe bruises all over his face.<br /> "My God! What happened to your face? Who did this?" she said, touching her brother's face, who stared at her with sad eyes.<br /> "Don't touch him, Amy. Your hands will get dirty."<br /> She gasped out, hearing her husband's words.<br /> Kelly was about to snap, but Amelia shook her head to warn her.<br /> "What is wrong with you, Liam? How dare you insult my brother like this?" she said,glaring at him, who scoffed. Rose was crying,hugging Liam, while Luna glared at Amelia and her brother, Harry.<br /> "This jerk tried to violate my sister, Amy. He tried to force himself on Rose."<br /> Amelia gasped in horror hearing those words.<br /> She looked at her brother for confirmation,and Harry instantly shook his head. "I swear on our deceased parents, Amy, I did no such thing. She's lying. I swear. I am not like this,Amy, I swear."<br /> Liam was about to snap at him but stopped when Amelia said, "I know, brother, I know you can never do such a thing. I know." She nodded her head. Even though she felt sorry thinking that Rose was raped, she knew his brother.<br /> She trusts her brother more than herself.<br /> Harry loves Kelly more than anything. He never even looked at another woman nor touched anybody in his drunken state.<br /> "Amy, are you serious. How could you take his side? Look at Rose. Marks are all over her body. How can you say that? You are a woman too. You are saying that Rose is lying. How could you?"<br /> Liam yelled out, pushing Rose in her mother's arms and walking closer to Amelia,who shook her head.<br /> "I am not saying that she's lying. But I wouldn't accuse my brother blindly as well. Being a woman doesn't mean I will believe other woman's accusations instantly. We need proof. We need to look into this matter carefully. These are heavy accusations,Liam."<br /> "We need to contact the police. My brother will handle this matter fairly. Police will look into it, and if my brother is the culprit, he will be punished, but if not, then..."<br /> "Then what? My daughter will be tagged as a liar, a disgrace. No. No, we can't do this. He will marry my daughter. We are religious people, Amelia. I can't let my daughter be called a disgrace," Luna, Rose's mother,exclaimed, making Harry instantly work up.<br /> "No, I wouldn't marry this sly woman. Why don't you people believe me? I didn't even touch her. I swear to God, she's lying. Please,I love Kelly. I love her so much, only her."<br /> Liam again punched him, making Amelia push Liam away from her brother.<br /> "Amy, I wouldn't marry her. I didn't touch her,I swear. She's setting me up." Harry then looked at Kelly. "I swear, Kelly, I love you. I would not do this to you."<br /> Kelly nodded her head and hugged Harry.<br /> "Enough of that, Liam. I wouldn't tolerate more violence against my brother. He's innocent till proven guilty, so suck your anger up."<br /> Liam shot her a glare before hugging her sister, who was crying.<br /> "Fine, then. We will go to court, and all of this will be decided. I swear you will regret taking his side." Liam said, side hugging his sister,who looked at her mother with scared eyes.<br /> "Liam, I don't think bringing this up to court is the right thing to do. What will people think of our family?"<br /> Liam glared at her.<br /> "I don't care what people think about my sister. I need justice. I will put this jerk in jail and will make him suffer. He will pay for what he did to my sister. I don't want him to touch my sister again. I don't think it is right for Rose to marry the one who harassed her," Liam exclaimed, tensing both<br /> Rose and Luna, who looked at each other with scared eyes. Liam looked at Amelia, who was looking at him with sad eyes.<br /> "Choose, Amelia. He or me? If you choose your brother, then be ready for divorce. But if you choose me, then you have to end your relationship with your brother."<br /> His eyes were practically begging his only love to come to him, to choose him but no.<br /> Her brother was always more than anything to her.<br /> "I will never leave my brother when he needs me the most. What kind of a sister will I be if I wouldn't stand with him in this condition?"<br /> Liam chuckled sadly as he nodded his head.<br /> "Fine. Then tomorrow, my lawyer will contact you for divorce and also for the charges on your brother."<br /> "No, Liam, wait--" Harry tried stopping Liam,but Amelia grabbed his wrist, shaking her head.<br /> "Fine. If your sister's accusations matter more than our five years relationship and three years of marriage, then fine, go ahead. Divorce me. I will sign the papers. But..."<br /> She walked closer to Liam with her teary eyes. Liam also stared back, almost begging her with his eyes not to do this.<br /> "Once I signed those papers. We will never be one again. Never."<br /> Liam nodded before pulling Rose with him,followed by Luna, who avoided eye contact with Amelia and Harry.<br /> Harry hugged his sister, who smiled, rubbing his back. He was blaming himself. But Amelia knew it wasn't him. It was Liam's ego,his too much trust in his stepsister, and his lack of respect for her and her brother.<br /> Even though everything crumbled down that time, the man who crushed it never thought that one day he would cry trying to grab those shattered pieces only to have nothing in return - nothing.<br /> ...<br /> Amelia's POV<br /> I cried even harder, clutching my chest. How could he? How can he end our years-long relationship in just a few minutes? What went wrong? What did I do to deserve this punishment?<br /> I need to talk to him. This is not the right thing to do. We've been in love for a long time. He can't do this to me... to us just because his stepsister has accused him and my brother has been accused.<br /> After some deliberation, I decided to approach him. I dialed his number while holding it close to my ear. Someone picked up the phone on the first ring, and silence descended.<br /> I closed my eyes, letting more tears fall. I can hear his harsh breathing.<br /> "Liam," I whispered, making him sigh out.<br /> "Amy." I heard his raspy voice. He sounded like he was crying and was drunk.<br /> "Don't do this, Liam. We can handle this matter first. We don't have to get divorced yet. Please," I said, almost begging him.<br /> "I don't want to do this as well, Amy. Just come to me. I l-love you so much. P-Please stop standing up for him. Just come to me and leave him. P-Please." I closed my eyes,hearing his cracked tone.<br /> "I can't, Liam. He's my brother. Why can't you understand this?" I heard him scoff.<br /> "And she's my sister, Amy. I promised my father to protect her. I can't do this to her.<br /> Your presence will always remind her of your brother's barbaric act. Just come to us and tell her that you support her. You can save us,Amy."<br /> I wiped my tears, feeling helpless. "Fine,then. You fight for your sister. And I will fight for my brother. Because if my brother is guilty, I will ask for Rose's forgiveness kneeling on my knees, but I would never leave him until proven guilty."<br /> "Fine. Do whatever you want. You want to destroy us, then fine. I don't know you anymore, Amelia. I don't - I don't k-know you anymore."<br /> With that, he cut the call but not before I heard his loud sob.<br /> More tears made their way to my pale cheeks as slowly my whimpers turned into loud sobs.<br /> Why, Liam, why can't you wait? Why do you want to end us like this?<br /> "Amy." I heard Harry's voice. I wanted to wipe my tears. I didn't want him to blame himself for my pain. But as much as tears I tried wiping away, more made their way to my cheeks.<br /> I stared at him with teary and sad eyes as another sob left from my lips. "I am sorry, sis.<br /> I am sorry." He hugged me tightly, crying as well. I shook my head, pecking his forehead.<br /> "No, you don't have to. I trust you, my brother. Even if I have to sacrifice more than I already had lost, we will fight. I wouldn't back off. We will prove your innocence. I promise your sister will never leave you. You have to be strong."<br /> He nodded his head, wiping my tears. I did the same as we again hugged each other.<br /> Third Person's POV<br /> Being five years older than Harry, Amelia promised to take care of her brother in his every step of life. She was only 16, and Harry was 11 when their parents died. She was arranged to Liam from the day she was born.<br /> Because of their parent's small company, she was able to take care of hers and her brother's expenses.<br /> Liam and Amelia had always liked each other from childhood. They had many similarities,making it easier for them to fall for each other.<br /> Liam's father died when Liam joined the company at 21. Rose was the daughter of his father from his second marriage with Luna.<br /> Both mother and daughter had been kind to Amelia and Liam all over. Even though he never really liked Luna, Liam vowed to protect and give his stepsister everything she wished for.<br /> When Harry turned 18, he fell for Kelly after meeting her in his high school final year.<br /> They both started dating, and at the age of 20,they got engaged, but someone already had eyes on Harry, which destroyed everything.<br /> People say right. Too much jealousy is the most vicious disease. Once a body catches it,it always ends up destroying everything,including one's self.<br /> Weeks passed by, and as promised, Liam sent the divorce papers and attempted violate charges on Harry. Harry was arrested, but it didn't shock them as they already knew it would happen.<br /> Everything had started, but somewhere in Amelia's heart, she still wanted to save her crumbling marriage because divorce was not a solution for her. In her view, she and Liam should wait for the proper results, but Liam refused to listen to her.<br /> Holding the divorce papers, she walked inside the house. The same place she once called hers. She wanted to talk to him, even if it was for the last time. But divorce is not a joke.<br /> She suddenly froze in her place when she heard groaning and moaning sounds. She recognized that whimper. But the difference was the moan wasn't hers. Blood rushed to her ears, and her heart went numb.<br /> Soon the door of the room slammed open,and a half-undressed Liam walked out. He still didn't notice her as he walked towards the hallway where she was standing.<br /> Soon his steps halted when his eyes fell on the pale feet standing in front of him. His eyes roamed upwards and finally met with those electric grey ones. Her empty and numb gaze met his.<br /> She looked lost while he looked horrified.<br /> Liam was frozen. He didn't expect her to catch him in an act. He looked at her with pure guilt and she with disappointment.<br /> They heard footsteps, and finally, the lawyer came inside.<br /> She brought out a pen and opened the divorce papers without another word.<br /> Without any hesitation, to Liam's shock, she signed the papers and handed them to the lawyer, who had pitiful eyes.<br /> "Babe, where are --"<br /> A girl came out only covered in a blanket. She instantly went inside after seeing another man there. The lawyer's face scrunched in disgust.<br /> "After finalizing the divorce, give me the copy,Lupas."<br /> Lupas, the lawyer, nodded before muttering.<br /> "You still have time. You can talk out.--"<br /> His words cut short with Amelia's chuckle.<br /> "Marriage has some limits, Lupas. And once those limits have been crossed, there is nothing left to talk." She turned her gaze to Liam, who had teary eyes.<br /> "Our marriage has crossed it."<br /> With that, she walked out of the house. Liam didn't follow her as well, even though his heart was screaming to run towards her. But how could he? He's the one who knowingly crushed them.<br /> He took the papers and signed them.<br /> Their divorce was finalized. That time Amelia understood one thing. She has to give her brother justice—a justice he deserves.<br /> She must do whatever it takes to prove her brother's innocence.<br /> ...<br /> Third Person's POV<br /> Everything seems to just come to ruins in Amelia and Harry's lives. All the things that were happening to them were wrong and bad. Amelia's trust in her brother increased even more after seeing his condition.<br /> Harry's health kept on worsening day by day.<br /> The poor guy was going into depression. If it were not for his sister and his fiancée, he would have hurt himself after all the pain he was going through.<br /> Their business got destroyed. Amelia had to sell their mansion to get the money to fight the case. Everything became worst for the siblings, and Amelia knew who was behind all of this - Liam. He was doing his best to give the siblings the worst pain they could ever imagine. He wasn't only in rage for what Harry was accused of. But also mad at Amelia for leaving him and choosing her brother.<br /> Liam wanted her to beg him for mercy but nothing. Amelia was way too stronger than he could ever imagine. She knew one day, he would regret the things he was doing to them badly. But it will be of no use.<br /> Harry's mental kept on worsening, He was dropped from his university as well. His career seemed to go in ruins because he wasn't even responsible for the accusations.<br /> The mocking, disgusting stares and knife-like words of people were doing well in destroying the poor guy. He was only 21. No matter how much he tried to act strong, the pain was too much for him to handle. He wanted to be strong for his sister and fiancée,but he lost everything, even himself, with time.<br /> He tried to help her sister after he bailed out,but he couldn't keep up with the rejections he got with the harsh words. How can people judge someone without even knowing the truth?<br /> It hurt when you were accused of something you never did. It was hurting him beyond his limit. Hate was a small word to describe what he was feeling for Rose and Liam.<br /> He knew that Liam was doing everything for his sister. But the extent he has gone to now seems to tear apart not only him but his sister too.<br /> "Brother, get yourself together. I promise I am here for you."<br /> Harry shook his head, crying on his sister's shoulder, clutching the ring in his hand.<br /> His fiancée, Kelly, ends their engagement,finally believing Rose after three trials. It's been five months since the day case was going on. And now Kelly had finally given up on Harry, saying that she couldn't deal with all of this.<br /> "Kelly believed that maybe I-I t-tried to do that t-to Rose."<br /> He couldn't contain the words to deliver further as he was beyond hurt remembering Kelly's words.<br /> "No, no, I trust you, my little Prince. I know you did nothing. I know. Please be strong, at least for me. I trust you. We will prove your innocence."<br /> He shook his head, pulling away from her.<br /> "Liam is making sure to make our lives extremely painful. He will destroy us. Why not you just listen to him? He asked you to marry him again. Be with him, and I will just ask for forgiven---"<br /> "For what? Did you assault Rose?" Harry immediately shook his head.<br /> "Then we will fight. We will fight until your innocence is proven. Don't worry. Your sister will be with you until her last breath." She said, caressing both cheeks of Harry and wiping his tears away.<br /> "I just want you to be happy." Amelia shook her head, caressing his head before again pulling him in her arms.<br /> "I will be happy when that day comes that everyone will beg for your forgiveness. I will be happy when I will prove that my brother is innocent."<br /> Harry smiled through his teary eyes, grateful for having a sister like her.<br /> Suddenly their moment got interrupted hearing a knock on the door. They had shifted to a small apartment after selling their mansion. It was a cozy small apartment big enough for them.<br /> "I'll go check it. Wipe these tears and be strong, okay? You're stronger than this.<br /> Right?" He smiled, nodding his head.<br /> Amelia went to the door, opening it, and instantly blood drained out of her system,witnessing the man standing there. The same face she used to adore so much now she despised it with her everything.<br /> Liam chuckled at her pale face. "Aren't you gonna invite me in?" She frowned at the man's audacity before trying to close the door but instead, he slammed it open, making her stumble back a little.<br /> He barged in with his two men following him inside. "Get out of my house.<br /> Right now..." She seethed at him, following him inside.<br /> He finally stopped in the living room, making Harry stand up with a frown. Liam smirked as his eyes fell on the ring lying on the glass table. He shot Harry a mocking glare.<br /> "What happened, jerk? Your butterfly flew away. I heard Kelly broke the engagement with you, and you know she's now the fiancée of one of the biggest businessmen of France,Daniel Stroke. He's my friend. He liked her a lot and finally proposed to her, and she accepted it. I think they are going to get married in two or three months. How do you feel about that?"<br /> Hurt was visible in Harry's eyes which raged Amelia up. She grabbed Liam's arm roughly,turning him around and facing her.<br /> "Yes. She broke the engagement. But you know we don't care. It's better not to have unfaithful people around us. Only bad times will tell us who's sincere and who's not."<br /> Harry smiled lightly, hearing his sister's words.<br /> Liam clenched his jaw before taking a step closer to her, but she didn't step back, just stared at him with the same intensity and challenge.<br /> "You're playing with fire, darling. I told you,didn't I? I told you to come back to me. I told you I wanted you back, and if you didn't come, you would face terrible consequences.<br /> But you just don't seem to understand, huh."<br /> "I would rather face the consequences than be with trash like you. I made the mistake of being with you once. I wouldn't make that mistake again." She snapped at him, making him angrier.<br /> Suddenly he grabbed her waist, pulling her against his chest. Her hands fell on his biceps as she gave a hard push on his arms but nothing. He was away stronger than her.<br /> Harry tried helping his sister, but instead,Liam's men held him back. Amelia gritted her teeth, giving hard tugs on his biceps, but rather, he leaned closer to her face.<br /> "I want to hate you so badly. But I just don't seem to do so. I love you so much. I thought I could live without you, but I was wrong. I can't even sleep without you being beside me. I don't know what to do anymore.<br /> I want you back, Amelia. Just stop being stubborn and creating problems for your brother and to yourself and come back to me."<br /> He said, tightening his grip on her waist but only getting hard pushes on his arms. "Never.<br /> Let go. I said, let me go. Your touch disgusts me. Let go, Liam."<br /> She raised her voice struggling in his arms while glaring at his dark gaze. His eyes twitched hearing her words. Disgust, she feels disgusted by his touch now. He scoffed.<br /> "Really? Isn't this the same touch and man you used to love madly?" He said, pulling his free hand up and caressing her cheek, but she jerked her head away from him.<br /> "Right. I was used to. I used to. Not anymore.<br /> Now let go of me." She said she was struggling, but Liam seemed to enjoy her squirming figure in his arms after five months. He never thought that staying away from her for a few months could become this horrible for him.<br /> "Liam, let my sister go. Let her go." Harry yelled at the heartless man standing there staring at his Ex-wife, who was busy glaring at him and trying to push him away.<br /> "You want to know how I felt when I came to know you harassed my sister, Harry? You deserve to feel what I felt." Saying that he slammed his ex-wife's body on the near wall before hitting his lips on hers right away.<br /> Tears started streaming down from Amelia's eyes. Her struggling becomes intense. She started thrashing in his arms, but he had no effect. She started hitting his chest continuously.<br /> He grabbed her wrists and pinned them beside her head on the wall. She closed her eyes in shame and disgust. Her brother's voice was echoing in the whole room.<br /> Harry was crying, yelling, and thrashing in men's hold to get away and help his sister but in vain. Men looked away from the scene, not liking how their boss treated the woman.<br /> After all, they had their sister and mother too.<br /> "Punish me, Liam, not her. She's innocent. I beg you. I am not lying. You will regret this,Liam. You will regret this. Please stop." Harry screamed out, still struggling.<br /> Liam finally broke the peck and placed his forehead on hers, breathing crazily. While Amelia was crying hard, she never thought that one day this man, the same man she loved with her everything could assault her like this.<br /> His actions tore her apart. Opening his dark orbs, he stared at her face for some time before letting her body go. She fell on the floor, breathing painfully.<br /> Guilt rose in his veins as soon as his ex-wife fell on the floor crying badly. But soon, it faded away when his eyes fell on Harry, who was also on his knees crying while staring at his sister.<br /> "Tell me how it feels. It hurts right. That's how to hurt me when I saw my sister's torn clothes and battered figure, jerk." He punched Harry making Amelia cry out even more.<br /> Suddenly he was again harshly turned around by a hand on his arm. And a sharp pain rose upon his cheek.<br /> His Ex-wife, for the first time, slapped him.

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 continue this incredible story?

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 continue this incredible story?

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.

It was not the only article of clothing strewn across the floor. There was some woman’s clothing on the floor too. Judging by the size the woman had to be a supermodel or something.

It had to be the smallest size you could get here in the UK for women.<br /> I suddenly felt so insecure, because that size of clothing would never fit me now, it did when I was in my late teens, but not now.<br /> I arrived at my bedroom, but I made sure to remain hidden out of sight.

The woman looked like a supermodel to me, but I really couldn’t see her very well, except for a little bit of her blonde hair that was spread across the sheets. <br /> ————————<br /> <br /> Eilith’s POV-<br /> I am heading home early from my grandparents’ house. I decided to visit them, because I wanted to see them. I do not see them as much as I would like too, since I finished University and started making my way in the world. You see, I have lived with my grandparents since I was five years old, because my parents sadly died in a car accident, I don’t know much else than that. There was no other family, and my grandparents fought to keep me with them.<br /> My father was the heir to a very powerful business. He had been running it for ten years before he died, but after he passed, my grandparents made the difficult decision of selling the business to the highest bidder. My grandparents focused on investing after that to maintain their wealth.<br /> My family is one of the very wealthy families in the United Kingdom. As the sole heiress to the wealth, my grandparents did not want me to have friends or boyfriends who just wanted me for my money, so I told everyone my name was Eilith Smith, not Eilith Clarke, which is my actual name. I have only told Kelly Roberts, my best friend, because she was a rich girl too, and has been my closest and dearest friend since we were eight years old. I really would not know what I would do without her, she has been there for me through so much.<br /> I had told my boyfriend, Dylan Harrison, that I would be out for most of the day and will not likely be home till the evening. In a note on his bedside, next to his phone, because he was still asleep, as I had woken up very early. I wanted to get to my grandparents before the morning traffic rush. But when I got there, my grandparents were going to visit a friend of theirs for and early dinner, so I had to leave far earlier than expected.<br /> When I usually visit them, I spend all day, sometimes into the next day with them, because they raised me and it is nice to be able to help them out around their home and visit my horse, which they keep at their home, in the stables on their land. When they were ready to leave to go have dinner, that was when I left to go home. I didn’t mention to my boyfriend that I was on the way home. I was thinking I would surprise him.<br /> I returned home, thinking I would be able to have a nice relaxing bath, and then maybe plan a nice romantic dinner for myself and Dylan, if he is home from the football match early enough. It wasn’t something we often did at home. I thought it would be a nice change. I love to cook, but he prefers to eat out at lavish places. He is the type to love to flaunt his wealth. Those plans were soon dashed…<br /> I entered my flat quietly, just in case Dylan was still asleep, which is how I left him this morning when I left to visit my grandparents. What I saw in front of me stopped me in my tracks. My mind went blank. In that moment, I almost forgot to breathe.<br /> I somehow managed to get the front door closed behind me quietly. When I turned around, I focused more on what was going one even though I was already beginning to understand what was going on, and honestly it didn’t feel real. It didn’t feel like it was happening to me.<br /> A cooked breakfast that had been made and eaten by two was left on my dining table. Romantic music played on the radio. I couldn’t quite hear it; I think because this whole thing felt like an out of body experience. I could not believe my eyes; Dylan had never once done anything like this for me. He would never cook for me, I think he even joked that it was a woman’s job once, but he was drunk and with friends, so I never took it to heart. Yet he would do it for a woman, who was not his girlfriend.<br /> I felt pain in my chest, that spread up my throat choking me. I knew I would not be able to say anything to him, but I had to know, was he really cheating on me?<br /> I quietly walked further into my flat, towards my bedroom, almost tripping over his shirt that lay discarded on the floor. It was not the only article of clothing strewn across the floor. There was some woman’s clothing on the floor too. Judging by the size the woman had to be a supermodel or something.

His back was to me, so he didn’t notice that I had seen what he was doing. The woman looked like a supermodel to me, but I really couldn’t see her very well, except for a little bit of her blonde hair that was spread across the sheets. I didn’t know her, but a hatred grew in my heart almost straight away for her.<br /> I could feel my eyes well with tears, as my hand covered my mouth. I could not stay here any longer, my voice was all but gone. I couldn’t stay there to speak with him, let alone look at him right now. Not to mention, I know he has a temper when someone confronts him, it has happened before when we were out, but it has never been aimed at me before. Something I was always scared of happening. How could he do this to me, after everything I had done for him? How could he cheat on me after all these years? Has he been cheating on me this whole time? Could I really forgive him if he made promises? I just needed to get out of here for now.<br /> So, I left, as quietly and quickly as I could. I didn’t want him to know that I had seen him, because I could not deal with the confrontation right now, and his excuses and temper.<br /> <br /> My best friend, Kelly, had a little while before she started work at the restaurant, she was a manager at. She has dreams of starting her own restaurant chain and wanted to get experience working the lower levels in the restaurant beforehand. I jumped into my car, and headed to the restaurant she works at. I texted her to tell her I was on my way to her, before I left.<br /> “What is wrong? You have me worried.”<br /> “I... I found... Dylan cheating on me,” I choked.<br /> “I am not surprised. I have told you many times, he is not worthy of you. Think about your entire relationship. I have known you far longer than Dylan has known you. You were always so confident and free. You wore what you want, when you wanted. Red is your favourite colour, and you have stopped wearing anything red, because he didn’t like you wearing red. You told me it made him mad if you wore red. You stopped eating pasta, one of your favourite things to eat, because he said you would get fat. He told you to stop hanging around with my brother, who treats you like a sister. I bet he gets mad if he finds out you were with me and my brother. That is controlling behaviour, a major red flag. If you stay with him, he will just keep cheating on you, and this controlling behaviour will just get worse, until you are isolated from your friends and family, and that is when he will start physically abusing you. Eilith, please, you must leave him now,” she said.<br /> I sat in the driver’s seat of my car, thinking about what she said, and as I thought, <br /> “Was he really that bad? I can’t believe I let him do that to me, to do everything that he did to me,” I whimpered.<br /> I was glad she didn’t ask what he did to me, because I wasn’t ready to talk about it. She rubbed my back, and said, “It is okay. One day soon we will sit down and have a long hard talk about everything that he did. Maybe it will be best if you go to therapy too. But I will not leave your side. I will stand by you through this whole ordeal, I promise.”<br /> “How am I going to make it without you? You’re leaving to move to London in a few days,” I whispered, in between my sobs.<br /> “Come with us. Josh and I have brought a three-bed house in London. Josh won’t mind you moving into the spare bedroom, until you get back on your feet. He will understand. He sees you as a little sister,” Kelly suggested.<br /> Josh is Kelly’s older brother. He really did see me as his little sister, just like I see him as my brother. I looked at her, a little shocked about that idea. I whispered, “But, I have nothing packed, and he is at home.”<br /> She nodded, pausing and thinking about what I could do to deal with this situation. I too, was thinking, because I didn’t want things to turn out like this. Dylan was very scary when he was mad. In those moments, I believed that he could hit me, even though he never got angry at me. She cleared her throat, and said, “I am only doing a four-hour shift, to cover the time the other manager can’t be in due to childcare. When she gets here, I will have Josh pick me up and come straight over to help you. Once you know he is out of your flat, go there and pack everything up that you can, as quickly as you can, and leave. Get it done before he gets home. If he does get home, before Josh and I get there, send me our code word. So, I know you are in danger, and need help I will call the police.”<br /> We have had a code word, for a great many years. It was more to ensure our safety while we were out at night. We knew the other would need help if we received HOD by text. It stands for House of Dead, an arcade game that we both loved to play with Kelly’s brother. It was short simple and to the point. Plus, three letters that meant something to the both of us makes a great code word.<br /> “But what if he tries to hurt you or Josh,” I said.<br /> “Do you know why he hates Josh,” she responded.<br /> I shook my head, and asked, “Why?”<br /> “Do you remember that day when we were looking at dresses online, before we went shopping. According to Josh, when I said you would look drop dead gorgeous in that red dress you were looking at, Dylan looked at it, and muttered some vile things about you. Josh heard that, when they were alone, Josh laid into him. Dylan tried to get in Josh’s face, Josh didn’t flinch instead he just smirked. Dylan backed down,” she explained.<br /> Josh was different from Dylan, physically. Josh is taller and has broader shoulders and is more muscular compared to Dylan. Josh is a gym rat. He loves working out and using weights. Dylan, on the other hand, rarely goes to the gym, but is well toned and skinny. Dylan wouldn’t stand against Josh in a fight, not only due to their difference physically, but because Josh is training to be a boxer for the Olympics. I have seen him knock a man out with a single punch. So, he is a strong man. The perfect kind of older brother you want.<br /> “So, that is why he didn’t want me to be around Josh,” I said.<br /> She nodded, “Josh made him feel emasculated. He is toxic, so you need to leave him. I will call Josh and tell him to be ready and get here to pick me up early, in the hopes that I may be able to leave earlier. I must go. Josh and I will be on our way to help you as soon as we can. Stay safe.”<br /> I nodded, “Thank you, Kelly.”<br /> “Be careful and send me text updates. Please make sure that if he comes back, you send me that code word,” she said, as she began climbing out of my car.<br /> I nodded, “I promise.”<br /> I watched as she called Josh and headed inside the restaurant to start her shift. I looked down as my phone, and realised I had a text from Dylan.<br /> Dylan: “Hey babe, I hope you are having fun with your grandparents. I won’t be in when you come home. I am going to watch the football match with the boys. I will be back later tonight. Make yourself dinner. Xx”<br /> I stared down at the text. The football match he was talking about was in two hours, so he would leave the home in thirty minutes to meet with his friends, so he can head to the match with them. I had to reply but keep it as normal as possible to my usual texts, and honestly that was the frightening thing. One mistake and this could go wrong.<br /> Me: “I am just about to leave my grandparents. I will be about an hour, maybe a little longer, as there is some road works near my grandparents’ home. Have fun at the football match. Text me when you are on your way home. Xx”<br /> He read the text message and replied with a simple okay. I grabbed my suitcases out of my wardrobe. I had two sizes a large one and a cabin one. I opened both, leaving them on the floor. I quickly yanked some of my clothing off the hangers and threw them in the suitcase. I emptied my drawers of clothing and just threw them in my suitcase. I chucked in my favourite pairs of shoes. I grabbed my electronics that I wanted to take. Though I could buy replacement electronics, and I probably will once I get settled in, I need to be able to keep a line of communication open with my grandparents and so I can get a new job in London. I grabbed whatever else I could.<br /> <br /> I looked at the time and saw a text from Kelly. She had managed to leave work an hour early, and Josh had picked her up. They were on their way to me. I suddenly had this feeling like someone was behind me. I typed HOD into a text before I turned around. Dylan was standing in the doorway to what was our bedroom. He had his hands clenched into fists by his legs. A rage in his eyes that I have never seen before, far worse than all the other times he was angry.<br /> <br /> “Why are you packing all your things,” he hissed, through gritted teeth.<br /> <br /> I took a deep breath, with my finger over the button, readying to hit send. I said, “Because I am leaving you.”<br /> <br /> “No, you are not leaving me,” he yelled.<br /> <br /> “I saw you earlier, with another woman, in what should have been our bed. It was what I needed to see that you were a controlling freak in our whole relationship. So, yes, I am leaving you,” I responded calmly, turning and hitting send.<br /> <br /> His heavy footsteps thunder towards me, making the floor of our flat shake. His hand tangled into my hair, and yanked my head back, before snatching my phone from my hand. Thankfully, I locked it before he could read my texts. He growled, “You are not leaving me! I bet you think this because you are cheating on me. Who is he? Show me who you were sending a text too just now.”<br /> <br /> “Get off of me,” I yelled, trying to push him away from me.<br /> <br /> “Who is he,” spitting as he shouted, pulling my hair harder.<br /> <br /> I pushed him away from me. It surprised him enough to let go of my hair and to stumble backwards away from me, I screamed, “I never cheated. You did. You have restricted me, banned me, belittled me, and treated me harshly on countless occasions. My heart is broken. How I could ever love a man like you, I do not know.”<br /> <br /> Tears welled in my eyes, so I turned around and began to zip up my suitcases. I didn’t want to see his reaction to what I said, I couldn’t deal with him if he started crying. I really might faulter if that happens. That was when I felt something hard hit the back of my head. My head began to pound and ache. I gripped where he hit me on my head with my hand and turned to look at Dylan. But before I could say anything, he raised his fist and slammed it into my face. The blow was hard enough, to knock me backwards into the bedside cabinet. I hit my head on the corner of the bedside cabinet, before hitting the floor. I could feel a wet hot liquid slide across my face. I touched it and looked at my hand. It was blood. I was bleeding from my head. I gripped my head and began to curl up into the fetal position. Before I could curl up, Dylan kicked me in the stomach and ribs, not just once, but many times. I lost count how many times he kicked me. I felt something crack in my rib cage. I tried my best to use my arms to protect my body and head, but there was only so much I could do, while in so much pain. The pain was excruciating. All I could do was cry and whimper the pain made it too hard to move. He grabbed my hair on the back of my head, tearing some hair from my head, and snarled, “If you hadn’t threatened to leave, then none of this would have happened. Do you want to know why I sleep with other girls, because after all the times we have, you were never ready for what I needed to be full satisfied. But now you are going to find out. Remember this is all your fault.”<br /> <br /> He slammed my head into the ground. The impact made my head heavy and made it hard for me to keep myself conscious. My ears were now ringing from the impact. It was because of that, that I did not hear what he was doing. The ringing subsided, only for me to hear a massive crack, and a shocking sting across my back, which made me cry out. I managed to look up and see that he was holding a whip. He hit me with a whip. I was now seeing a completely different side to him, a side that would have made me run for the hills years ago. How did I not see this side to him?<br /> <br /> “This is what I like,” he growled, lust evident in his voice.<br /> <br /> I tried my best to move, to get away. But I was in so much pain. The sound of the crack of the whip came again, just before the impact on my back. I screamed out. This time it was even more painful. The taste of blood filled my mouth, as I felt a trickle of blood pooling on my back. Tears were streaming down my face. I was trying to prepare myself for another blow. But that was when I heard the sirens. In that moment, I had never felt so happy to hear sirens before. Dylan dropped the whip, and muttered.<br /> <br /> That was when he bolted out of the door. I breathed a sigh of relief, even though my chest hurt so much. Pain was all over my body. My head and back were the most painful. With my head hurt, it was getting harder for me to stay awake my consciousness was wavering. My eyes closing slowly, the pain becoming unbearable.

It had to be the smallest size you could get here in the UK for women.<br /> I suddenly felt so insecure, because that size of clothing would never fit me now, it did when I was in my late teens, but not now.<br /> I arrived at my bedroom, but I made sure to remain hidden out of sight. Thankfully the door was open a little bit, so I could see everything. I could hear his distinct grunts and moans, as well as the moans of another woman.<br /> I peered through the small crack in the door and saw him with another woman in my bed. His back was to me, so he didn’t notice that I had seen what he was doing. The woman looked like a supermodel to me, but I really couldn’t see her very well, except for a little bit of her blonde hair that was spread across the sheets. I didn’t know her, but a hatred grew in my heart almost straight away for her.<br /> I could feel my eyes well with tears, as my hand covered my mouth. I could not stay here any longer, my voice was all but gone. I couldn’t stay there to speak with him, let alone look at him right now. Not to mention, I know he has a temper when someone confronts him, it has happened before when we were out, but it has never been aimed at me before. Something I was always scared of happening. How could he do this to me, after everything I had done for him? How could he cheat on me after all these years? Has he been cheating on me this whole time? Could I really forgive him if he made promises? I just needed to get out of here for now.<br /> So, I left, as quietly and quickly as I could. I didn’t want him to know that I had seen him, because I could not deal with the confrontation right now, and his excuses and temper.<br /> <br /> My best friend, Kelly, had a little while before she started work at the restaurant, she was a manager at. She has dreams of starting her own restaurant chain and wanted to get experience working the lower levels in the restaurant beforehand. I jumped into my car, and headed to the restaurant she works at. I texted her to tell her I was on my way to her, before I left.<br /> “What is wrong? You have me worried.”<br /> “I... I found... Dylan cheating on me,” I choked.<br /> “I am not surprised. I have told you many times, he is not worthy of you. Think about your entire relationship. I have known you far longer than Dylan has known you. You were always so confident and free. You wore what you want, when you wanted. Red is your favourite colour, and you have stopped wearing anything red, because he didn’t like you wearing red. You told me it made him mad if you wore red. You stopped eating pasta, one of your favourite things to eat, because he said you would get fat. He told you to stop hanging around with my brother, who treats you like a sister. I bet he gets mad if he finds out you were with me and my brother. That is controlling behaviour, a major red flag. If you stay with him, he will just keep cheating on you, and this controlling behaviour will just get worse, until you are isolated from your friends and family, and that is when he will start physically abusing you. Eilith, please, you must leave him now,” she said.<br /> I sat in the driver’s seat of my car, thinking about what she said, and as I thought, <br /> “Was he really that bad? I can’t believe I let him do that to me, to do everything that he did to me,” I whimpered.<br /> I was glad she didn’t ask what he did to me, because I wasn’t ready to talk about it. She rubbed my back, and said, “It is okay. One day soon we will sit down and have a long hard talk about everything that he did. Maybe it will be best if you go to therapy too. But I will not leave your side. I will stand by you through this whole ordeal, I promise.”<br /> “How am I going to make it without you? You’re leaving to move to London in a few days,” I whispered, in between my sobs.<br /> “Come with us. Josh and I have brought a three-bed house in London. Josh won’t mind you moving into the spare bedroom, until you get back on your feet. He will understand. He sees you as a little sister,” Kelly suggested.<br /> Josh is Kelly’s older brother. He really did see me as his little sister, just like I see him as my brother. I looked at her, a little shocked about that idea. I whispered, “But, I have nothing packed, and he is at home.”<br /> She nodded, pausing and thinking about what I could do to deal with this situation. I too, was thinking, because I didn’t want things to turn out like this. Dylan was very scary when he was mad. In those moments, I believed that he could hit me, even though he never got angry at me. She cleared her throat, and said, “I am only doing a four-hour shift, to cover the time the other manager can’t be in due to childcare. When she gets here, I will have Josh pick me up and come straight over to help you. Once you know he is out of your flat, go there and pack everything up that you can, as quickly as you can, and leave. Get it done before he gets home. If he does get home, before Josh and I get there, send me our code word. So, I know you are in danger, and need help I will call the police.”<br /> We have had a code word, for a great many years. It was more to ensure our safety while we were out at night. We knew the other would need help if we received HOD by text. It stands for House of Dead, an arcade game that we both loved to play with Kelly’s brother. It was short simple and to the point. Plus, three letters that meant something to the both of us makes a great code word.<br /> “But what if he tries to hurt you or Josh,” I said.<br /> “Do you know why he hates Josh,” she responded.<br /> I shook my head, and asked, “Why?”<br /> “Do you remember that day when we were looking at dresses online, before we went shopping. According to Josh, when I said you would look drop dead gorgeous in that red dress you were looking at, Dylan looked at it, and muttered some vile things about you. Josh heard that, when they were alone, Josh laid into him. Dylan tried to get in Josh’s face, Josh didn’t flinch instead he just smirked. Dylan backed down,” she explained.<br /> Josh was different from Dylan, physically. Josh is taller and has broader shoulders and is more muscular compared to Dylan. Josh is a gym rat. He loves working out and using weights. Dylan, on the other hand, rarely goes to the gym, but is well toned and skinny. Dylan wouldn’t stand against Josh in a fight, not only due to their difference physically, but because Josh is training to be a boxer for the Olympics. I have seen him knock a man out with a single punch. So, he is a strong man. The perfect kind of older brother you want.<br /> “So, that is why he didn’t want me to be around Josh,” I said.<br /> She nodded, “Josh made him feel emasculated. He is toxic, so you need to leave him. I will call Josh and tell him to be ready and get here to pick me up early, in the hopes that I may be able to leave earlier. I must go. Josh and I will be on our way to help you as soon as we can. Stay safe.”<br /> I nodded, “Thank you, Kelly.”<br /> “Be careful and send me text updates. Please make sure that if he comes back, you send me that code word,” she said, as she began climbing out of my car.<br /> I nodded, “I promise.”<br /> I watched as she called Josh and headed inside the restaurant to start her shift. I looked down as my phone, and realised I had a text from Dylan.<br /> Dylan: “Hey babe, I hope you are having fun with your grandparents. I won’t be in when you come home. I am going to watch the football match with the boys. I will be back later tonight. Make yourself dinner. Xx”<br /> I stared down at the text. The football match he was talking about was in two hours, so he would leave the home in thirty minutes to meet with his friends, so he can head to the match with them. I had to reply but keep it as normal as possible to my usual texts, and honestly that was the frightening thing. One mistake and this could go wrong.<br /> Me: “I am just about to leave my grandparents. I will be about an hour, maybe a little longer, as there is some road works near my grandparents’ home. Have fun at the football match. Text me when you are on your way home. Xx”<br /> He read the text message and replied with a simple okay. I grabbed my suitcases out of my wardrobe. I had two sizes a large one and a cabin one. I opened both, leaving them on the floor. I quickly yanked some of my clothing off the hangers and threw them in the suitcase. I emptied my drawers of clothing and just threw them in my suitcase. I chucked in my favourite pairs of shoes. I grabbed my electronics that I wanted to take. Though I could buy replacement electronics, and I probably will once I get settled in, I need to be able to keep a line of communication open with my grandparents and so I can get a new job in London. I grabbed whatever else I could.<br /> <br /> I looked at the time and saw a text from Kelly. She had managed to leave work an hour early, and Josh had picked her up. They were on their way to me. I suddenly had this feeling like someone was behind me. I typed HOD into a text before I turned around. Dylan was standing in the doorway to what was our bedroom. He had his hands clenched into fists by his legs. A rage in his eyes that I have never seen before, far worse than all the other times he was angry.<br /> <br /> “Why are you packing all your things,” he hissed, through gritted teeth.<br /> <br /> I took a deep breath, with my finger over the button, readying to hit send. I said, “Because I am leaving you.”<br /> <br /> “No, you are not leaving me,” he yelled.<br /> <br /> “I saw you earlier, with another woman, in what should have been our bed. It was what I needed to see that you were a controlling freak in our whole relationship. So, yes, I am leaving you,” I responded calmly, turning and hitting send.<br /> <br /> His heavy footsteps thunder towards me, making the floor of our flat shake. His hand tangled into my hair, and yanked my head back, before snatching my phone from my hand. Thankfully, I locked it before he could read my texts. He growled, “You are not leaving me! I bet you think this because you are cheating on me. Who is he? Show me who you were sending a text too just now.”<br /> <br /> “Get off of me,” I yelled, trying to push him away from me.<br /> <br /> “Who is he,” spitting as he shouted, pulling my hair harder.<br /> <br /> I pushed him away from me. It surprised him enough to let go of my hair and to stumble backwards away from me, I screamed, “I never cheated. You did. You have restricted me, banned me, belittled me, and treated me harshly on countless occasions. My heart is broken. How I could ever love a man like you, I do not know.”<br /> <br /> Tears welled in my eyes, so I turned around and began to zip up my suitcases. I didn’t want to see his reaction to what I said, I couldn’t deal with him if he started crying. I really might faulter if that happens. That was when I felt something hard hit the back of my head. My head began to pound and ache. I gripped where he hit me on my head with my hand and turned to look at Dylan. But before I could say anything, he raised his fist and slammed it into my face. The blow was hard enough, to knock me backwards into the bedside cabinet. I hit my head on the corner of the bedside cabinet, before hitting the floor. I could feel a wet hot liquid slide across my face. I touched it and looked at my hand. It was blood. I was bleeding from my head. I gripped my head and began to curl up into the fetal position. Before I could curl up, Dylan kicked me in the stomach and ribs, not just once, but many times. I lost count how many times he kicked me. I felt something crack in my rib cage. I tried my best to use my arms to protect my body and head, but there was only so much I could do, while in so much pain. The pain was excruciating. All I could do was cry and whimper the pain made it too hard to move. He grabbed my hair on the back of my head, tearing some hair from my head, and snarled, “If you hadn’t threatened to leave, then none of this would have happened. Do you want to know why I sleep with other girls, because after all the times we have, you were never ready for what I needed to be full satisfied. But now you are going to find out. Remember this is all your fault.”<br /> <br /> He slammed my head into the ground. The impact made my head heavy and made it hard for me to keep myself conscious. My ears were now ringing from the impact. It was because of that, that I did not hear what he was doing. The ringing subsided, only for me to hear a massive crack, and a shocking sting across my back, which made me cry out. I managed to look up and see that he was holding a whip. He hit me with a whip. I was now seeing a completely different side to him, a side that would have made me run for the hills years ago. How did I not see this side to him?<br /> <br /> “This is what I like,” he growled, lust evident in his voice.<br /> <br /> I tried my best to move, to get away. But I was in so much pain. The sound of the crack of the whip came again, just before the impact on my back. I screamed out. This time it was even more painful. The taste of blood filled my mouth, as I felt a trickle of blood pooling on my back. Tears were streaming down my face. I was trying to prepare myself for another blow. But that was when I heard the sirens. In that moment, I had never felt so happy to hear sirens before. Dylan dropped the whip, and muttered.<br /> <br /> That was when he bolted out of the door. I breathed a sigh of relief, even though my chest hurt so much. Pain was all over my body. My head and back were the most painful. With my head hurt, it was getting harder for me to stay awake my consciousness was wavering. My eyes closing slowly, the pain becoming unbearable.
