Sit tight and enjoy this story of love, regrets, pain, hurt and many other challenges that stand as a threat to Elena and Rex's relationship.
Elena's Point of View
"You can't do this! I am your mate! Your Luna!" I screamed at Rex, the only man I have ever loved. "In which world do you think that what you are doing makes any sense?!"
"In my world!" He thundered. "I can do what I want, when I want, however I want. And right now, I want you gone from my pack."
"The pack will never accept this-" I shouted at him in pain, hurt and anger.
"I am their Alpha! They will accept what I want them to, or they will leave." He growled at me.
"Why are you doing this, Rex? What possible reason could you have for doing this?" I cried as I collapsed to my feet.
"These are my reasons. And I don't have to explain them to you. Just make sure that you are out of this pack before sunrise."
"It is because of her, isn't it?" I asked brokenly. "Maya, you told me that there was nothing going on between you two. That it was all in the past. You told me not to worry. You liar!" I screamed at Maya for betraying me with her deceptive lies.
"There is no point screaming about this. If you had done your duty, all of this wouldn't be happening," He said dismissively as he turned away from me.
"My duty," I whispered to myself. "You say that like I am the one who can control having a child."
"Well, it is certainly not my fault. Maya has proved that."
"What, no. You wouldn't. Rex!" I cried out, my heart was totally shattered.
"It is true." He said quietly. "She is carrying my child and I know that there is no way I can allow her to carry my child out of wedlock. So you have to go. Peacefully. If you love this pack as much as you say you do, you will leave here right now without any noise".
I watched through a curtain of tears as he walked out of my room, my world vanishing with him.
A part of me kept saying that it was a lie, that it was some sick game.
But it was definitely not.
The man I have loved since I was sixteen, the man I have loved for eight years, my own mate, has cast me aside for his teenage fling.
As I remained sprawled on the floor, the words of my friend, Lisa, ran through my mind.
"I am not saying you should reject him, Elena. All I am saying is for you to take some time to get to know him. There are a lot of factors involved in this. Foremost, he is from another pack, one of the most powerful packs in fact. If anything happens, do you think our Alpha would speak up for you? No, he won't. Second, Rex is older than you. Like ten years older, he already has a fiancee. Do you think she would be happy with you? You have to think if you are willing to put up with that shadow all your life!"
My goodness, she was right all along.
I was so convinced about the mate bond, the illusion that mates were bound together forever, that he would never hurt me.
He was still the most handsome I have ever known. Strong, well-built, wavy blonde hair, startling green eyes, ivory skin.
Heavy muscles and lean, and when he pulled me into his arms, I always felt so safe.
How wrong could I have been?
I should have insisted on him not meeting Maya.
I was naive.
Childish.
And now I am paying for it.
"Where can I go now?" I whimpered to myself before I broke down in tears again.
"Elena dear, where is Elena?"
I looked up to see Alice, Rex's mother, standing by the door, staring at me in shock.
"Elena!" she said in a panic tone as she rushed to me. "What is wrong? What happened? Where is Rex? I will go find him now." She said as she got to her feet.
"No!" I gasped out as I held a grip of her hand.
"Elena," she said quietly as she got down to her knees. "What happened?"
I sniffed at the catarrh dripping from my nose, while my eyes were still flooded with tears to continue. "Him and Maya."
"No. No, he wouldn't". She said in horror.
"He did! He said so himself. And now she is having his child, and he wants me out of the pack by tomorrow!"
"What?!"
"He said that if I loved the pack as I claimed to, I should leave quietly. He said it so calmly! Like I was nothing to him! Like the past years we spent together was nothing!"
"That! It is not happening. Not on my watch!" She snapped as she got up to her feet again and walked to the door, only to stop at my words.
"There is no point. I am leaving," I said quietly.
"Elena!" She whirled around to face me. "No! You can't. You are the Luna of the Crystal pack! You can't leave. I will talk to him, we will sort this out.
"There is no point," I repeated. "It doesn't matter if he decides to let me stay. He betrayed me. Told me to leave my home. There is no way I can ever look at him the same way again. I will leave". I said as I slowly got to my feet. "Not because I failed, but because he did. He had single-handedly destroyed our love and the trust between us. Staying here will just be mere torture. For me and everyone who holds us dear."
"But what about the pack?!"
"It is his pack. Let him figure out what to tell them. I don't care right now."
"Oh, Elena. My sweet, sweet child," she said as she walked towards me and took my face. "Where would you go?"
"The world is vast, and I don't believe there is no place for me. I will find it another dwelling place".
"At least let me help you. I can find you a good apartment to stay in."
"No, Alice," I said to her gently as I extracted myself from her. "It is not that I don't appreciate it, but I can't risk Rex finding out where I am. He wants me out of his life. Well, now so do I. And that means everything. You have been a wonderful mother to me, and I am truly sorry."
"I understand you, my child, I do. And I am sorry. So sorry that this has happened to you. I am sorry."
"It is okay. It is not your fault," I told her.
"Can I at least help you pack?"
"I would appreciate that."
We both fell silent after that, as I moved to pull down a suitcase. Alice insisted that I take everything, all the clothes and jewels and money, everything that would help me start a new life.
I know he has given me till tomorrow, but you can't bear staying here for one more night and so, before I knew it, we were both outside of the pack after taking a route in the backyard to avoid unwanted eyes, waiting for an Uber.
"Would you at least call me?" She asked. "Just to let me know you are alright."
"I will send an email," I told her as soon as I got into the cab.
She placed a peck on my cheek before closing the door and soon the car pulled away.
As I watched the pack vanish behind me, I placed my right hand on my tummy.
How could I have stayed?
It was not possible.
How could I have stayed and let my child be raised by a man willing to cast me aside, because his ex-girlfriend was pregnant for him.

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.
