Longing For My Rejected Luna

*****Erika's POV*****

The pain had truly been blinding and it had taken all of my willpower not to ask for the words to be taken back. It was not just about breaking the mate bond, but the fact that I still loved the bastard.

Yes, it was a pathetic reality to face but it was how I felt.

I had thought that dissolving the mate bond would dissolve every love too just like Jace said, but it had not and I guessed that was the consequence of living a life without my Moon Goddess given mate.

Though who could hardly blame me for wanting to reject him as quick as I could.

The shock I had seen on his face when I had uttered those words, first kind of fanned my dignity and pride.

He had not been expecting that, for sure.

Well, Erika Blackwood was not going to be anyone's doormat anymore, love or not.

I stepped outside the premises, to meet up with Jace and leave this place with bad memories I'd rather forget, but a certain blonde came into sight as she stood before me in all her manipulative glory.

The evil of this girl!

"Out of my way, Serenity. I wouldn't want you to say I stabbed a fork through you this time."

She chuckled, but a short and evil one.

"I'm just here to congratulate you, Erika. You did the right thing."

"Now you've gotten your desires, step out of my path" I was trying to control Cindy from taking over.

I was nice but to Seren, she was meaner than I was. She wouldn't hesitate to tear her into shreds if given a chance.

"Why are you letting her get away with insulting us, Erika?!" Cindy growled in anger In my head.

"Calm your claws and sheath your fangs, Cindy. Let's save the strength for a worthy opponent."

"We're Alpha, the strongest kind amongst werewolves. She's just a normal werewolf. She's no match for us." Cindy wasn't happy. The pain we'd both gone through during the dissolve of the mate bond had left her in great ire.

"Exactly Cindy, she's no match for us. One touch and she'll be all bones and

blood." I told her, hoping she'd stay calm in my head.

"And if I don't?" Serenity raised a brow in challenge.

"You see what I'm talking about?! Let's teach her a lesson!" My wolf bellowed from my head but I ignored her.

She was trying to take over but I was not letting her.

I smirked, it was an unfriendly one. "Please leave my way."

"And I repeat, if I don't?" She advanced forward in a dare.

"You're no match for me, Serenity. Leave my path." Where the hell was Jace, anyways? He should be in view, where I would easily spot him and not have this crazy werewolf keep trying to stick her fingers into my eyes.

She let out a taunting chuckle. "You? A common Omega? Dare to tell me that I'm no match for you? You must be in a reverie."

I folded my arms. "What do you want, Serenity? Is there anything of yours that I'm in possession of?"

"You're not worth being in possession of what belongs to me, if you know what I mean."

"I do know what you mean, and that is why I've left him for you. Enjoy Alexander for all I care."

Her face immediately turned sympathetic and innocent. "Oh I'm so sorry for what happened." She moved to hug me but I gently pushed her away from me. She screamed and fell to the ground. "Why are you this mean to me?"

"How dare you, Erika?!" Shivers of shock coarsed through my body, and in bewilderment I turned to see that everyone had gather outside of the altar where we had just dissolved our mate bond.

Alex stormed towards me, anger blinding his expression.

I turned to her. "Well played, Serenity."

She had seen everyone gather at the entrance and pretended to be friendly just to make things worse for me. "Please help me up, Alex. I was just trying to be nice but she pushed me. See, I got injured."

She showed her elbow to Alex, and true enough, there was a big scratch that bled a bit.

"How dare you?!" Alex boomed at me.

"See, I told you to deal with her, Erika. She would not have done what she'd just done. Teach her a lesson."

Yet again, I ignored Cindy's angry howl in my head.

"I did nothing to her." I said calmly in my defense, already knowing that Alex would never believe me.

It wasn't the first time.

"I saw you! We all saw you! Stop lying!" He yelled at me.

"I said I never touched her!" I yelled back.

I might allow Serenity get away with her mischiefs around me but I would never let

Alexander insult me because of her again.

We had nothing in common anymore.

"You even dare tell at me?!" He seethed.

My gaze swept to Serenity who stood by his side, a con smile playing on her lips.

"Let me take control, Erika. These people won't talk to you with total disregard. They must be seeking death!" Cindy pranced angrily in my head.

"No need. They don't deserve to know who I am." I remarked and stepped closer to Alex,

"Now one advice for you, Alpha Alexander Robertson of the Moonforest Pack, hold your beloved wolfess. Keep her faraway from me."

Obviously shocked at my defiance and the audacity to talk to him in that manner,

he stepped forward as well in a menacing manner, I stood my ground.

He was an Alpha like myself, he would not be able to defeat me in any battle. Alphas possessed the same power, despite the difference in gender, Alpha Alex would never win me in any duel.noveldrama

"Are you sure you want to be talking to me in that manner?"

Realizing I did not want to reveal my true self, I willed my anger to the barest minimum and tried to look meek. "I'm sorry. I need to go now."

I attempted to walk past them when suddenly, Serenity cried out in pain and my hand closed over a small weapon.
