Chapter one

Elsa

"I Armnado Luca, this day reject you, Elsa Roland as my mate" These were the words of Armando, my mate or rather my Ex mate now.

It was my twentieth birthday and everything was going smoothly before this happened. Ironically, the party was hosted and organized by Armando unknown to me that he had a hidden agendum. Tears filled my eyes on hearing this and I stared deeply into his eyes and I saw no remorsefulness in him but rather he looked all serious.

"what is this, you are joking with me right? '' I playfully said and touched his arms as he was used to playing silly pranks on me and so i thought it was one of them. But unfortunately, my thought was not it and so it just remained my thought alone and not his.

"I am very serious Elsa. This is not a joke" He sternly uttered to me. My eyes became watery and my breath ceased for some seconds. How was it even possible that Armando who had only shown me love would do this to me publicly. He was actually holding a microphone when he said that. It was the time for him to say some nice words to me and he called me to the podium to stand with him. I thought probably he had something romantic prepared for me, but how little did i know that the stuff he had for me was nothing close to romance.

"What are you saying,, how can you possibly do this to me?" I said and grabbed his hands once more as the audience began to murmur and there was indistinct chatter in the crowd.

I had invited all of my friends and I was happy that I clocked twenty, but unknowingly for me, I did not know that heartbreak was lurking around my evergreen garden.

" This is my decision, and there is nothing you can do that would make me change my mind." He spat with no emotions and tossed my hand away, making me twirl halfway.

I gawked at my hand that he thrutched away in spite and to me it felt like a dream. Tears began to roll down my eyes on realization that it was no dream but reality. I couldn't even look at the audience where my mom, dad and sister were also present in. Julia my wolf was growling inside in pain. She was so fond of Armando and his wolf. Our bond was just so unexplainable.

" This must be a dream. Why are you doing this to me? Did I do anything wrong?" I muttered and held him as he wanted to go down the stairs. My hands trembling as I grasped his.

"Let me be Elsa!!" He roared and pushed me away, making me fall on the floor. My heart was so heavy and broken, totally devastated. I wasn't sure I could carry it anymore. Being humiliated in presence of strangers was a little better but facing such humiliation in presence of family and friends nearly made my heart fall out.

" Armando, please don't leave" I whimpered as he walked away in the crowd without even turning back to tell me to say it was just a prank.

I stained the white dress I wore as I halted on the floor not even having the strength to pull myself up. Maia, my younger sister, rushed to me and held me back from crying. My pack and his pack started leaving the function but then I knew I was going to be the topic of discussion for that night and till the fortnight to come, after all no one liked me.

"It's Okay, Elsa" Maia said and hugged me as I wailed on the floor.

"But what was my crime?" I blubbered and stared at her while she shut hermouth tight like Mona Lisa. She obviously had no answer for me and so she just glared at me and also joined me in crying. I could hear Julia’s soft moans inside.

I didn't let it remain that way and I needed my question to be answered and so I arose from the floor and raced both my heart and feet towards Armando who was walking so briskly to the parking lot.

"Armando wait" I screamed as I ran so fast with all the speed I had with the little energy I had left in me. He didn't even care to stop but continued his movement and I wondered if truly it was my Armnado. The one person who always had time for me and always longed to see my face was running away from the same face he was crazy about. I remembered how I bragged to friends while in highschool and after highschool saying that the moon goddess really loved me and that's why she gave me a perfect mate in the person of Armando. We were the envy of others during highschool and though despite many schemes by my friends and foes to take him away from me it still was futile and our love blossomed.

"Please wait" I said and grabbed his hand. He stopped but then he didn't even turn to look at me and so I rushed to his face.

"Armando, please look into my face and tell me you are lying, please I beg you" I cried and stared into his eyes, hoping to get through to him now. In my heart, I really thought it was a dream because my Armando could never do this to me. He stared into my eyes for a few seconds without saying anything. He shook his mouth as though he wanted to say something but then he didn't.

" I meant every word I said Elsa '' He said so slowly as though counting his words while he poked his face very close to me. Hearing this made me lose control of my whole body and surroundings. My lips became so hot as though being boiled. My whole body began to shiver like a dove drenched in rain.

"No,no, no, no, no. Please stop this Armando, I know you are joking. Please stop it I beg of you, please it's not funny" I grabbed him firmly and shook him with all my might. He pushed me away and I fell on the floor.

"Elsa get a grip of yourself.(Approached where I laid on the floor) Okay, in case you did not hear me well inside, i repeat myself again. I Armando Luca, this day, Reject you Elsa Roland as my mate"He thundered and grabbed my cheeks tight. His eyes also flickered to amber..

I just stared at him as he spoke with my jaw dropped and I couldn't even talk anymore but just let my tears do the expression of my heartfelt emotions. I watched him walk away and got into his car. I just sat on the floor and watched him drive away. My whole life crumbled to the ground without me even knowing the reason why.

"Armando!!!" I screamed as he screeched off.

“I hate you, Armando!!! I hate you!!” I fell on the floor with my face slamming the tarred road.

The whole flashback just came to my head now I laid on my bed as tears flowed again freely......
