Austin has been by my side right from childhood.
What were we then?
Maybe we could be called a duo of unfortunate kids?
He chased me for two decades. He loved me with all his breaths and cherished me.
One mount ago,he cheated on me.
I pretended not to know anything, pretending to be the clueless wife he wanted me to be.
That was till I erased details that leads to my existence and it was then that the scum searched for me desperately.
The clerk looks up at me, her brows perching up questioningly.
"Are you sure you want to delete all traces, ma'am? It is easy to do that now but it would be pretty hard to get things back.
If you're currently going through turbulent times and you think disappearing would do it, then maybe you need counseling and we have just that service available to our people here." She tried to dissuade me.
"I'm twenty - nine." I replied simply.
I believed tbat was enough to shut her up.
She looks a bit embarrassed before nodding.
She took the form I had just filled from the counter and nodded.
I know how Austin is. He would stop at nothing to find me and for that not to happen, I have to cancel all my official and non official documents.
"Miss Leo, it is done." The clerk informed after few minutes.
I let's out a sigh of relief before I grabbed my bag and walked out of the building.
When I got back to the pack, I slipped my phone out to have a check at my future plans.
On my phone's lockscreen was the picture we took on our wedding day.
It felt as if a dagger was thrusted straight into my chest.
The Alphas wedding are always ground breaking, but with Austin going a bit off the grid with his dramatic ideas, it's safe to say we had the most grand and talked about wedding in the country!
Every friendly specie- vampire, wolves, humans,etc were present!
Today,the main reel of our wedding on Instagram has hit millions of views.
He even procured a private island and named it "longing for Augustina"
This news threw the internet society into a frenzy.
The story of him donating one of his bone marrow to me also surfaced.
We were known as the lovers that defied - death couple.
Back then, I was truly happy but right now all that envelops me are sour feelings.
He had kept asking me out on a date, to be his Luna for twenty years.
My mother was diagnosed of a genetic diseases and dad left her in the hospital with the little me.
Since then, I've had trust issues….
I felt everyone was going to leave me eventually so I never really opened up quite well to people.
I thought to myself that if I have less expectations, there's no way I would be disappointed.
Without deep relationships, my heart wouldn't be splitted into pieces.
Mom couldn't be cured so she ended up dying.
At her funeral place, Austin was beside me.
He was also a child then.
He comforted me and promised to stay by my side without leaving.
I just thought he was a clueless kid.
Having seen how coward of a man dad was and how mom died without help, I have grown multiple times my actual age.
I looked past all his kind gestures for the next fifteen years.
I believed that he would eventually give up on me after futile efforts.
But a day came where I badly needed a bone marrow donation.
I had lost hope and started drawing circles around the dates on the calendar to keep track of my death's time.
When we couldn't find a donor on time, Austin signed the papers, consenting he was going to transfer one of his to me.
The surgery saved my life, no, he did.
He was half - conscious after the surgery when he came into my wardroom to ask how I was doing.
"You look okay, I'm glad you are. I did it for you, Augustina."
He confessed his love for me but I didn't accept him even in that situation then.
Five years later and he was still all over me with love letters, flowers, love messages, gifts….
There was no method of confessing to a girl that he didn't utilized.
One day,I spotted gray strands in his hair and that broke my heart.
I accepted him. The look on his face is still fresh in my head.
He brought out a ring box from his pocket instantly which got me quite startled.
He handed all his assets to me, everything he had.
If it were possible,he would have made me the alpha of Emerald Pack.
But, i rejected all of them.
"I said yes now but I can turn my words back any day. If you leave me for a minute, I'll disappear and you won't ever find me." Tears prickled out of my eyes as I said those.
Deep in my heart, I already trust him a lot and don't mean a word in the statement.
Until a month ago when he cheated on me.
I wasn't going to wait around like a waitress waiting tables and get dumped like mom so I began making plans.
I booked a flight and printed out a divorce paper that gave me none of his money or property and it was to be delivered to him in three days time.
As I got into the house, I found him in a black apron, making dinner.
He is a well respected man, a billionaire…but he still insists on getting his hands on some household chores like a loyal husband.
But even the most loyal husband could be tempted to cheat on his wife.
He wiped his hands on his apron and came to plant a soft kiss on my forehead.
His familiar scent hit me. It was warm and nice but there was a light smell of lavender under it.
My heart tweaked in pain - that's not my scent.
My heart moves in erratic motion in my chest.
A fierce object seems to be stuck in my lungs and that rendered me breathless.
I took my face to the side, trying to hide my reddened face.
"You shouldn't have stayed out so long,sweetpie.
And what about your driver? I thought I'd instructed him to make sure you return to the pack on time?" He took my palm and rubbed it in the most loving way ever.
I snatched my hand from his on impulse.
I don't ever want to be in body contact with him anymore.
He squat down to remove my shoes for me.
I squeezed a sigh out of my lungs and caress my temple as he rubs my cold feet.
Before,I used to feel tingling sensations in my tummy but everything was void now.
"I strolled around the neighborhood. It isn't that cold."i remarked with a snort.
He slides the slippers in my legs when he has warmed my feet up quite well.
He stood up and held my face in his hands.
"I got you something,you will love it."he rubs the place close to my ears slowly with his thumbs
"How about you donate the money you use in buying me brand deals every week to the pack still in ruins from the last war?"i retorted and he smiles.
"We've already helped them. My wife deserves to get surprises from me every day. Now,wanna guess what it is this time around?"
I scoffed in my head. His presents are so predictable. "Definitely a high heel brand."
He giggles like a kid before planting a kiss on my forehead.
"Exactly. You're so smart now, aren't you?"
