CHAPTER ONE
SERENA'S POV
"Argh!" I screamed, not loud enough to cause an alarm though
Jake was at it again, with someone else, it seemed he was doing it on purpose this time, cause I could feel how excited he was
The pain ceased for sometime, and I sat up right
Just as I was about to stand up and go look for him, another wave of pain hit me again and I fell to the ground
Hot tears rolled down my cheeks as I remembered the day I found out Jake was my mate
I was overjoyed,and so was he. He loved me so much and treated me with utmost care and respect
Not until, I couldn't birth him an heir, we tried all possible ways, visited all the powerful witches but all was in vain
The thought of how nice he treated me then and now got me crying harder, he had changed a lot
He goes sleeping around with different women,.making me suffer the consequences
A fresh wave of pain hit me again, and then I had it all. I was done being a wife and Luna to the people, while a punching bag and trash to my very own mate, I was done suffering for someone who didn't care
I Made up my mind to leave, and as soon as the pain ceased, I began packing my belongings
*****
Before I could open the door, it flung open to reveal Jake
"Cursed witch, where are you headed with all these" he asked gesturing at my stuff
"For the last time Jake, I am not a witch, neither am I cursed" I said , defending myself from the nickname he gave to me
"Oh shut up! Like you'd ever admit it"
"That aside, you know what I just found out?"
"What?" I asked, looking at him confusedly
"I found out, that you bewitched me bitch, you were never my mate, and that's why, you can't conceive a baby" he sounded so cold that tears ran down my cheeks
How could he of all people say such a thing
"Jake! What is wrong with you? How dare you say such a thing to me? I am not even a witch, how could I...." He didn't let me finish. I wanted to slap him real hard, but it would only amount to me being injured and that was the last thing I wanted to happen
"You mustn't be one before you can bewitch me, they are your friends aren't they?" He said, sternly, maintaining eye contact with me
All I did was sigh in frustration, I didn't know what to say to him, even if I wanted to say something
"Well, I would be leaving, you'll be free now from whatever 'spell' I casted upon you" I announced, making sure to stress out the word 'spell'.
"Hm! So that explains this?" He scoffed, wearing a blank expression on his face, like I didn't just say I was leaving for good. I had never felt so worthless in my life as I did that moment
"It's getting very late...." He was saying, but I cut in, did he really think anything he said right now could stop me from leaving?
"Don't worry about me, I'll be fine, and also know that no matter what you say or do, can not stop me from leaving " I said, and then grabbed my suitcase
Jake just stood there staring at me with a confused expression, and suddenly, he bursted out laughing
"I wasn't going to ask you to stay, all I wanted to say was that you should be on your way now, since it is getting late. Oh! Were you expecting me to beg you? You thought I would try talking you into not leaving? That's pathetic Serena, you among everyone should know me better. As a matter of fact, I am very delighted that you have finally decided to leave dear wife" who was this heartless man? Where was the man I got mated to?
These thoughts ran through my mind that my sight became blurry, but I didn't give in to the tears, I was done letting him make me feel like trash, he would never see me cry, ever again
But my cheeks burned tomato red in embarrassment, and he was right, it was pathetic of me
"Whatever" I said, trying to make it sound very natural, in order to show him that I didn't care, but my shaky voice failed me. Anyway, I reached for the door
"Wait!" His voice pulled me to a stop and I turned to look at him
"Hope you do not intend to come back here? I mean, hope you're going for good, cause you won't be welcomed here any longer" he said anticipating for my answer, and ready to mock me, but I wasn't going to let him
I sighed heavily, I had been enduring his unjust actions towards me for a very long time now, cause I felt I deserved it, but now I was going to stand up for myself and do what was necessary
"I Serena Harvard, reject you, Jake Rodriguez As my mate" I declared and I felt a sharp pain on my chest, he also clenched on his chest, he also felt the sharp pain signaling that a part of our bond was broken
I could see rage, anger and disbelief burning in his eyes, he didn't expect me to reject him
"Well, I Jake Rodriguez, Alpha of The Greenwood Pack, accept your rejection and denounce you, Serena Harvard, as my mate and Luna of this Pack" he declared also, and we winced in pain again, signaling that the bond between us was finally broken
After the pain subsided, I turned to leave
"Lest I forget, you're banned from this pack, so don't even think of settling at your parent's" What the flying fuck! I turned sharply towards his direction
"You can't do this to me Jake, where do I go?" I asked, not expecting any reply though
"How should that be my problem? You're now a rogue, so get going" He said, nonchalantly
"Is that how much hatred you have for me? I could get ki..." I was saying but he didn't even let me finish
"Tsk! You could get killed, for all I care" he said, and I just starred at him in utter disbelief
'Who is this man?' I asked myself
"Whoever kills you, would be doing you and the entire world a favor, because you're useless. Who knows, maybe you're badly needed in the land of the spirits, you never know" he said on and on with a shrug and I couldn't help but shed tears
I went out of the bedroom and banged the door out of anger
On my way through the hall way, uncontrollable tears rolled down my cheeks
I had momurings from the maids and guards some pitied my life and others made morcrey of it
There wasn't any need to say anything to them, so I just left, in pain anger and embarrassment
******
"Oh! Look who has been banned from the pack, such a big misfortune, where does she intend to go now?" The voice of Clarissa pulled my attention
Maybe I was really cursed , cause I couldn't understand why my very own sister would be happy to see me leaving through the pack's boundary with luggages
She couldn't even ask where I was headed
"How did you know I was banned? Cause the last time I checked, no member of the pack is aware of that" I asked
"Oh no! She isn't aware?" She asked, feigning surprise
"Did the moon goddess sieze your mate linking ability? Oh I forgot, he is not your real mate. Well, In the next two days I would be announced as the new Luna of this Pack, little sister" Moon goddess, take my life now, why is this happening to me of all the people in the world
My mouth opened and closed severally but no words came out
"This came as a shock to you? Oh I'm so sorry hun, I thought you already knew I was the one Jake has been spending time with all these while" she said with a smirk curved on her lips
"Wait! What! Cla... Clarissa, you're my sister for...." I was saying but she cut me off
"We both know you bewitched Jake, I mean you've always wanted to be his mate, even before you turned eighteen, you were all over him, and knowing you, you would do anything just to....." She didn't complete her statement as my palm landed firmly on her cheeks
"You're a disgrace to our family, I thought you were raised better, you would regret this Clarissa, I promise you that" I said in tears
"Jake would also regret this, the entire pack will regret this, I curse the day I became Luna of this Pack, I curse you all, you will definitely regret doing this to me" I continued in a yell with uncontrollable tears rolling down my cheeks
"Hm! Pathetic Loser" Clarissa said, and the next minute, I saw myself in the air
Clarissa pushed me off the cliff, I tried to wolf out, but my emotions got the better of me and the last thing I saw was the pointed branch of a tree, then I blacked out
