Chapter 3

*****Elvira's POV*****

When I woke up, the pains from my stomach had disappeared. But the pains in my chest knew no bounds.

The very thought that I had lost my unborn child came as a shock to me.

A child I had waited so long for, only to lose it because of the very man I called my husband.

Archie was really a heartless and good for nothing man.

All he knew how to do was rant about being an Alpha and bring in someone to beat his wife up.

The door to the bedroom was pushed open just then, in walked Archie with a file in his hand.

I turned to glare at him, his face reminding me of my present condition.

To be honest, I was done with this marriage.

I just didn't want to be married anymore, not to anyone or even Archie.

"So you were pregnant and you refused to let me know?!" Archie suddenly growled beside me, but I ignored him.

He could rant all he wanted and I wouldn't even budge.

"F**king Answer me!" Archie yelled again and I turned to glare at him.

"Did you give me a chance? I asked for your help when I felt pain, but what did you do?!" This time, it was my turn to yell back at him.

"Now you yell at me?" He asked and chuckled darkly.

But I wasn't in the slightest scared of him.

I was pissed and I hated him with everything in me.

"Fine then, since it's gotten to the point you yell at me." Archie snorted and threw the papers in his hand at me.

"Sign it, they're the divorce papers" he said,"I'm done with this shit of a marriage"

At first, I froze.

But when I thought about it, Archie wasn't worth it.

So what if he was my mate, he was still a douche bag.

"Alright" I accepted immediately and picked up a pen to sign.

I was going to start all afresh.

I didn't need Archie.

He gazed at me without saying a word, but I couldn't care less about him.

After signing, I threw the papers back at him before standing up to my feet.

"I, Elvira Ashenpaw, Luna of the Shadowed moon pack hereby reject you, Archie Knox, Alpha of the Shadowed moon pack!"

And that was all it took to be free from him.

Archie glared even more at me, but I pushed past him and headed to my closet.

Time to leave this hell of a packhouse for good.

"This is the right decision, El" Dahlia said to me and I hummed in reply.

"You're going to regret this, Elvira" Archie said and stormed out of the room.

I couldn't care less about him as I packed my stuff to leave.

Once I had made sure everything was intact, I pulled my luggage out of the room.

Like I said before, the storm was approaching and now it arrived.

The rain was falling heavily when I stepped on to the porch.

Jaxon had left for the hospital and there was no one to call.

I immediately remembered Jaxon's mate and my best friend, Daphne.

I pulled out my phone to call her and on the second ring, she picked up the phone.

"Daphne I need you to come pick me up from the Shadowed moon packhouse" I said calmly and she hummed in reply.

A few moments later, I was seated in Daphne's car as she drove me out of the estate of the Shadowed moon pack.

I kept my gaze lowered as I thought about everything that had happened.

"El, no need to sulk like a child" Daphne said to me and I chuckled between tears.

"I'm not sulking"

"Yes you are, look at you" Daphne said and gestured to my face.

I snorted and averted my gaze immediately.

"Even if Archie is my Alpha, I would still say it loudly that he is such a douche bag!" Daphne said, her attitude arising.

I laughed and nodded through sobs.

"You'll be fine" she said and squeezed my arm with her right hand.

She soon pulled up at the driveway of my parents house and we both got down.

We ran directly inside, with her carrying the luggage.

The living room was empty with only the fireplace warming up the entire house.

Daphne then pushed the luggage to the side.

"Miss Ashen Paw! We're here!" Daphne wasted no item in yelling out my mum's name.

Soon we heard footsteps from upstairs.

I looked up at the staircase and on seeing my mum's usual outwardly looks and a face that never aged, I sighed as a smile broke out on my face.

Tears also followed.

My mum paused in her tracks on seeing me.

She blinked and opened her mouth to say a word, but her eyes suddenly drifted to my luggage.

"Elvira what's the meaning of this?" She gestured to my luggage.

I sighed and felt a tear slip from my eyes on seeing her face.

"Mum" I mouthed and ran towards her.

I embraced her tightly, letting myself get wrapped in her warm embrace.

The hug was what I needed the most now.

I felt my legs give up on me and I collapsed on my knees

"El, what's wrong?!" My mum panicked and knelt with me.

She looked up at Daphne who sniffed behind me.

My mom then asked, "Daphne what happened to her?"

Daphne sighed behind me, "Auntie, a lot of things have happened. Elvira will tell you everything"

Mom slowly pushed me away to look at my face, seeing that I still had tears in my eyes that hadn't dried up, she broke out into tears as well.

"Tell me in one word what has happened to you, Elvira" mom said again and I sniffed, wiping my tears.

"Mom if I tell you, please do not panic and give me some time to heal, Alright?" I asked and she nodded.

"Please go ahead and tell me, Elvira, tell your mother what happened to you" she urged.

I shut my eyes and suddenly said it, "I got divorced"
