‡CHAPTER FOUR

Delaury's POV 

“ Wake up Laury , please wake up” a hand shook me frantically bringing me into reality. Sylvia and Sebastian stood above me in what seemed to be like Sylvia's room. 

“ She's awake now Sylv, get her some water” Sebastian ordered, helping me sit up. Snatching my hands from his , I pushed to sit farther from him. He was Orion's beta, all were against me. Being Sylvia’s mate and obliged to be attached to each other was the only reason he was here with us. 

“ I won't hurt you Laury” he convinced as we both waited for Sylvia to arrive. She brought a cup of water and handed it to me. I engulfed everything within a few seconds and handed it over to her. 

“ What happened?” 

“ You fainted, they thought your wolf was turning into a rogue at the rejection but I managed to convince them to allow Sylvia bring you here “ Sebastian replied. 

“ What's happening out there then ?” 

“A mating ceremony is being organized for Orion and Angela, he declared acceptance of her as his mate,they might mate soon but the oracle hasn't spoken yet , I believe it might take a long time” Sebastian explained once more . 

Since he had rejected me, the oracle speaking for the moon goddess would take a few months before it agreed for the new mating of Angela and Orion. I wondered how Orion's wolf could cope till then. 

My wolf has vanished again, disappointed by the rejection. I , on the other hand, knew what was coming. 

The sudden tears about being mateless, enveloped me as Sylvia held me. I was forever destined to be a pack slave. Very soon, as the beta's wife, Sylvia would be prevented from associating with me and I would be lonely. 

A loud bang was heard as Sylvia's door swung open, followed by Ervin, Orion’s Gamma , led the way as Orion made a grand entry once more. 

“ Alpha Orion” Sebastian, Sylvia and I bowed to his presence. My wolf, kicking through me once more. 

“ We require her presence at the mating ceremony, her wolf has to understand the rejection by watching Angela and I speak to the oracle about being bonded” Orion spoke to Sebastian. 

I didn't understand this order, I understood perfectly about being rejected. This was obviously just taunting my wolf. Orion's wolf was clearly giving problems as his true mate has been rejected. They just needed me there so the wolf wouldn't misbehave whilst the conversation with the oracle was ongoing. 

“ I believe her wolf has understood the rejection and she only needs to heal!” Sylvia retorted. 

“ Shut your mate up before I kill her for disobeying my orders” Orion ordered. Not sparing me a glance, he stormed out leaving an annoyed Sylvia. 

“ This is so wrong, why taunt her more if she can't have a mate? “ Sylvia asked, helping me wear a dress ,I noticed my wounds created my Orion had healed. 

“ Surprisingly I didn't need to do much  ,your wounds healed themselves, let's get you in a dress before he comes back to murder us all” 

Sebastian, torn between reprimanding his mate for her disobedience and  speaking against his alpha too, kept quiet as Sylvia and I managed to adjust my dress. 

The three of us walked to the pack grounds, amidst hoots of shame from the people. 

“ Did she really think Alpha Orion would accept her ?, such an omen” an anonymous person said, Sebastian had to hold Sylvia in place to prevent her from attacking whoever made that comment. 

“ Let her sit here, she'd be able to watch them from here “ Delta Argon ordered. 

“ I'll be fine Sylvia, you and Sebastian can stand away from me now “ 

Sylvia wanted to protest , but a calming push from her mate allowed her to move back a bit. Making her point that she wasn't going to leave me. Sebastian had no option but to stand beside her. 

I watched in pure torture as Orion and Angela walked to the oracle, followed by General Eziele. Angela's parents, close behind. 

 The oracle shone a bright red as Orion and Angela were asked to circle it. Orion's wolf , still uncomfortable from not being with its true mate kept causing a pause in Orion's movement.  It only calmed down when Orion turned to look at me. 

I was the bait in their mating game. I had to suffer this ordeal. 

“ I believe the oracle has heard our plea, the crowning of Angela as our Luna would be done a week from now, but we would have to wait for some time to allow the Oracle accept Angela as Orion’s true mate. The oracle would communicate with the moon goddess for us. 

Angela , beaming with smiles now , held onto Orion as they both kissed. 

My wolf trying hard to maintain its rejected composure couldn't be held back anymore. 

A force, I didn't know I had , pushed me from the chair, causing a sudden wind to blow around me. Before I knew it I was in between Orion and Angela . Glaring at Angela with full exasperation. 

“ She's using her voodoo again ,General, we need to do something about it, lock her in the dungeon, her wolf isn't agreeing to the rejection ,we need to do something about her before she transforms “ Delta Argon cried out as I tried to control my inner wolf. 

I'd never transformed before so I didn't even know what my wolf looked like. As said earlier, omegas weren't allowed to see their wolves but they could feel them . 

Orion , walked to his father and whispered a few words in his ears. His father nodded in acceptance and stood , staring right at me.

As an outcast, my fate was sealed now, I would become the pack slave and obviously I would be severely punished for the separation of Angela and Orion just now. 

General Eziele, walked to the side. 

Orion held me with one arm, digging his long nails at my back, I could feel the blood dripping out. 

My wolf continued to whimper at the pain caused by its own mate. 

“ For over 15 years we have tolerated such an outcast , I have allowed her to roam freely amongst you seeing as she is no harm. “ General Eziele spoke, causing Orion to shake me further to the people who had pure disgust in their eyes. 

“ My son and his Luna need to be of no harm and so are my beloved wolves of the Eziele pack.” 

There it is now, I would be cast to the pack dungeons. But it turns out General Eziele had other serious plans for me . 

“ I Hereby banish you from the Eziele pack, you are of no use to the pack and you do not belong here any more! You're now a rogue !” 

Sylvia's sob filled the air , as Orion threw me farther from him. Yet only one word remained in my ears. 

“ Banished”
