Sibyl
I raised my hand and gave him a harsh slap across the face, "You must have lost your mind, Edwin. At this point, you're trying to tell me that you did not betray me? You're asking me to accept your mistress! You're asking me to live happily with another woman, included as part of our mate bond, who will be carrying your child in front of me? How dare you, Edwin! " I screamed at the top of my lungs.
Edwin clenched his fists and angrily closed his eyes. "I am doing all of this for our future, Sibyl," he gritted his teeth and opened his red eyes so that they locked on mine. "You have no idea what I have gone through because of your infertility," he accused.
My heart is squeezing in my chest.
"The Elders are questioning me, pressuring me to provide an heir or give my Alpha position to my brother. There is no way I am giving up on my dreams and future."
My voice was barely above a whisper, but brimming with my pain. "Your greed for your position is so high that you betrayed our mate bond! Your obsession with a child is so great that you're not bothered by having it from any womb, even if it's not mine!" I pushed him away in heartbreak.
"True, I am greedy for both my Alpha position and a child," he finally admitted brashly, his eyes emotionless.
I clenched my fists and nodded. "Alright, since you've made your choice, do me the same service. I refuse to accept your new wife or your absurd demand to live together with her. I don't want to live with a man who betrayed me ..."
Edwin's eyes darkened. "Nothing can be over unless I say it is, Sibyl!" He grabbed my arm tightly, causing me so much pain that I hissed, "This is my territory, I will be the only Alpha ruling here," He declared. "I did betray you, but only for a child. It doesn't mean I don't love you or that I don't want you. There's no way you can leave me."
At this point, the man standing before me was no longer the man I fell in love with three years ago. I stared at him in cold, "What are you saying?"
He smiled and suddenly pulled me into a forced kiss, "I am telling you that I want my mate and mistress both."
"I've had enough of you, Edwin. I never knew you were this kind of person," I bit my lip. Never in my wildest imagination had I thought that I would be standing at a point where I would need to speak these words,
"I, Luna Sibyl Hall, reject Alpha Edwin as my soulmate!"
Instantly, the bond severed from my end, causing Edwin's wolf to go insane in his mind. His eyes widened as his expression turned dark with evil intent before he grabbed my throat. "What did you just say?" he barked into my face, his eyes red.
His grip on my throat didn't allow me to breathe, let alone answer. "L...et g...o..." I struggled to break free, wheezing as I tried to breathe, but his strength overpowered me. He grabbed my hair with his other hand and released my neck only to toss me onto the bed.
"I don't accept your rejection," he muttered.
I coughed hard and struggled to breathe as I crawled onto the bed. My glasses had long ago been knocked off my face. What just happened? Had Edwin... tried to strangle me? My love? My soulmate? The man who had never raised his voice to me? However, the pain in my throat and the heartbreak of my wolf screamed in my mind that what had just happened to me was as real as the sound of Edwin crushing my glasses under his heel.
"I get that you're angry with me over Daisy, but that doesn't mean you can lose your mind to this extent," he remarked, fondly stroking my hair. "Now take back the rejection like a good girl, Sibyl," he whispered.
"No," I growled, slapping his hand away. "I reject you, and I don't want to live with you anymore. Let me go!" I screamed, attempting to get off the bed, but Edwin caught me again and violently threw me back onto the bed.
"Now don't blame me for going crazy, Sibyl," he growled. I glanced at him and found him unbuckling his belt.
"What are you doing?!" I shouted, once again trying to get off the bed, but he crawled on top of my body, pinning both of my hands above my head, and tied them with his belt. "DON'T DO THAT! LET ME GO! UNTIE ME!!" I screamed, using every bit of my strength to break free, but it was all in vain. He was an Alpha; he had countless tricks up his sleeve.
Once he tied me, he sat on my thighs and grabbed my cheek, his eyes filled with a twisted look that would scare even the most evil of individuals. "I'm giving you time to think, Sibyl. I really don't want to mistreat you. Make a wise decision, take back your rejection when I return," he leaned down and kissed my lips.
"No!" I moved my face, but he grabbed my jaw and forcefully kissed me, biting my lips until they bled.
"And if your answer doesn't change, then you'll become acquainted with the worst of me." He finally warned.
The room filled with the sounds of my struggles and screams until my throat hurt, and I had to give up. Staring up at the ceiling as I listened to the sounds of Edwin introducing Daisy to the pack, his wife paralyzed me. Edwin... really had betrayed me, for another woman and a child. Not just that, he even treated me in a way I never imagined. The love of my life actually had another face that I was never aware of.
As the night grew darker, the sound of music echoed in my ears. The pack celebrated Daisy's welcome with a party. The gossip was all about my blindness and infertility. No one in the pack was aware of why I had been dumped, and Daisy was chosen. My heart broke into infinite pieces until I could no longer bear it.
I struggled to break free for a couple of seconds, but the belt around my wrists tightened until I shifted into my wolf, Zara. My wolf form was bigger and more powerful. Using my wolf's strength, I managed to break free.
When I shifted back into my human form, my clothes were mostly torn, but I couldn't have cared less about it as I stormed out of my room. Edwin had to accept the rejection, freeing me from this tainted mate bond. He had to...
I paused in the hallway when I heard the sound of moaning coming from one of the rooms. I froze in place and glanced inside the cracked bedroom door, only to freeze in another heartbreak.
Edwin and Daisy were having sex.
Edwin had finally crossed the point of no return. What little remained of my heart was crushed at the sight of the two of them rolling around on the bed, moaning, and making love.
I slowly took a few steps back and returned to my bedroom. Edwin was not going to let me go because of his wolf, but I could not stay with him after the depth of this betrayal. I simply packed my luggage, put on a new set of glasses, and left the pack without looking back.
Once I was out of Lunar Moon Pack territory, my tears finally broke free from my eyes. Falling to my knees, I screamed my heart out in pain.
Why had this happened to me?
