Chapter three

“I Sarah Abraham, accept you, Liam to be my mate” Sarah says immediately with a smile. I can’t believe the cheap thing I have had close to me as a friend. She smiles at Liam but he is staring at me. She holds his face and turns it back at her.

They both gawk at each other. Sarah shining her disgusting brown teeths at him. She tilts her head, waiting for Liam’s reply. 

“I, Liam Foster, accept you,Sarah Abraham, to be my mate and my Luna” He says at last and grabs her face with a cheeky smile. 

My legs are no longer strong to carry me. Tears streams from my left eye. The flashback of our memorable moments storm my head.I don’t want him for someone else.

They hug themselves and I can’t behold it anymore. I bolt up the stairs, crescendoing the steps with so much speed. I enter my room and slam the door and press my back on the wooden door. “No!!!” I scream.

I really cannot come to terms with the new development. Indeed I have confirmed that love is an illusion. I should never have trusted the words of a man.I should have known better that their words and intentions change in the snap of a finger. 

I wipe my tears and stand up from the floor. I have made up my mind that I have to leave. Telling the lying and cheating bastard that I am up the duff with his child is not even an option. 

I walk to my wardrobe frantically and pull all my clothes from the hanger and pour them on my bed. I push all my clothes in my bag without caring if I’m rumpling them. All I want to do right now is leave here. 

“Celine..”I hear my name. I know whose voice it is so I do not bother turning. I narrow my eyes and continue packing my clothes, pushing them with all the strength in me.

“Celine”she goes again and this time places her hand on my back. “How dare you, whore!!?” I thunder and gawk at her. “You have the audacity to even touch me after this? Now I know how cheap and a back stabbing bitch you are!!”

“You better watch your tongue Celine. I am the Luna of the Moonstone pack and I wouldn’t watch you talk to me in that tone” she spews with a high tone and peering her eyes out. I am truly astounded at what I am seeing. The soft spoken and down to earth Sarah now has broadened feathers to the extent she raises her voice at me.

“What the hell is your problem, is it my fault that I am Liam’s mate? Or is it my fault that you are barren and can’t even conceive a baby? not even a still born. After all this is not all my decision and I am actually doing you a favor. If you claim you love him, then you should be happy that I am here to give him the thing you couldn’t. You should be grateful and not stand here claiming to be hurt” she wipes at me. 

My whole body is cold hearing  these kind of despicable words from my supposed best friend. I never knew this is what friendship is. 

I say nothing, but just nudge my head sideways a couple of times in disgust. I can’t banter words with this rotten thing. I pick up my back and zip it up. I carry it on my right hand and walk toward the door. Her stare only makes me get the hint that she is surprised. 

“What is good for the gander, is good for the goose. Enjoy while yours last” I say in a broken voice and then walk away.

I enter a car and drop my bags in the passengers sit. I have made up my mind that I am leaving the city. And I am not going to be a werewolf anymore. I am going far away to a human city where I’d start my life afresh. Truly werewolves are cursed,now I know. But one thing I am sure of is that Liam and Sarah are going to pay dearly for this betrayal.

I stare at my home from my rear mirror as it became smaller and smaller as I drive farther. Tears form in my eyes and I allow it to keep flooding. My grasp on the steering is tightened as I drive.

——

It’s just twenty minutes thereabout I left my home. I am in the edge of the city, close to leaving. I rub my hand on my belly and smile. At least I have something to make me want to have a better life. I am not going to allow my baby turn out to be a betrayal and cheat like his father. I need to give him a different space to grow up in.

All of a sudden, a man comes into the middle of the road. I match the break immediately to avoid hitting him. He is staring at me with a smile and I don’t even know him. I hunk for him to leave but rather he starts coming towards me. His eyes change from black to amber. My senses are working now. I look at the back through the rear mirror, I see another man advancing. 

I remain in my car. I am still trying to comprehend what’s happening. They are both now beside my car.

“Hey, Luna” the one at my side says and he immediately pulls off my door and flings it at the side. Fear grip me and my heartbeat flushes up.

“Who are you?” I ask with a frail voice. Though I’m trying my best to remain calm but I don’t think I can. I cling to my seat, holding the hand brake tightly. The man in front of me doesn’t have that good scent. He has a tattoo of something like a sword on his neck. Nonetheless, that’s not my problem now.

“I am Zane. Your nightmare” He chortles and with very swift speed,he grabs my neck. Jane is growling inside and ready to tear out, but I am not going to give in. My word is my bond and I am never going to morph. I would rather die as a human.

“What do you want from me? Please I.. I do not want any problems” I scoff and look at his partner who is also standing beside him now. 

“My mate said this to Liam, but do you know what he did?” He asks staring directing into face. I tilt my head indicating ignorance. “He killed her” he says and then shape shifts partially, dangling his claws in my face.

“Let go of me now. I have nothing to do with Liam..he..” I roll my eyes at him but before I can finish my sentence, he rearranges my face with a resounding slap that thrutches my neck to the left.

“How dare you raise your voice at me!?” He growls and holds my shirt more tighter. Liam hunted me at home and he is still hunting me till now. 

He raises his claws to strike but I hear a growl. I turn and see a silver Color. It is so sparkling and Illuminative. His eyes are shinny gray. I have never seen such before.

The man holding me frees me and faces the silver wolf. They both sit on their hands and morph. They rush at the Silver wolf. Before they could do anything to him, He beats them mercilessly as though they are pups. He growls while they manage to run away into the forest with the little strength left in them. I just remain put and gawk. 

The silver wolf looks at me, standing in his full glory. He strolls to me. The closer he gets, the more beautiful he looks. He is now in front staring at me. He rips a little part from my

dress and he turns and starts walking away. He shape shifts back to a human when he is far away from me. The only thing I can see is a tattoo at the top of his back. It’s a tattoo of a face. But I don’t know whose face.

I look down at my dress which he ripped a little of it. I see a strand of his fur on the tarred road. I pick it up and stare at it. Then I close it in my hand and stare at the direction he left.

The only question in my mind right now is. “Who is he?”
