Chapter two

"Elsa" Maia bawled and snapped me out of my subconscious. I sat on my bed as I reminisced on the whole rejection I got from Armando. Actually since then, Julia had never spoken to me again. It was more like she was temporarily mute or dead even and so I couldn’t morph. The trauma was too much.

"Yeah Maia, what is it?" I sighed. She wore a green half gown and gloated at me. Maia was seventeen years old at that moment and still in werewolf high, learning to control her powers.

She had an issue with morphing freely and so she was getting trained on her to shape shift at will.

" Nothing is wrong"I lied and got up from the bed, trying to avoid eye contact with her.

I sighed deeply again and shut my eyes to toss the feeling of damaged love down. I Pressed my hands on my temples.

"You are still thinking about him, isn't it?" She inquired and joined me where I highbrow. I rubbed my palms on my face and was trying so hard not to break down.

"No," I uttered. She moved to my front and glared at me with a pitiful look.

"It's been months now Elsa and you are still sulking because of that punk who cared less about your emotions and humiliated you in public. Don't tell me you still love him?"She grabbed my hand. Yeah it was three months after the whole rejection but then it was lucid in my head as though it just happened yesterday.

My dad also died eight days after the whole incident by poisoning himself with wolfbane, maybe because of the stigma the family got due to the rejection.This made my heart burn the more and I lost value for life.

"Yes, I still feel something for him" I muttered. Her eyes widened and she placed her hand on my arm. I wished my heart could stop caring like my head did. How did could I even move someone like that? He was a beast.

" Are you kidding me Elsa? After all that asshole put you through, you still love him? " She snapped in total surprise.

" Love? When did I say I love him? Yeah i told you I feel something for him but definitely not love" I snickered. She gaped very surprised, shining her raven eyes on me.

"What then do you mean? what feelings do you feel for him." She shrugged

" The only thing I feel for him is hatred and intense antipathy. All I wish for is to pay him back in his own coin and I am not going to rest till I do that. He thinks he can play with my emotions and just go scout free. He lured me into having sex with him over and over like his whore, but I did that because I loved him, now he left me shatttered. " I bellowed and squeezed my fist and blazed the room with my burning anger trying so hard to hold my tears back.

"Now that's what I wanted to hear. You should never take this lying down. Because he is the son of the Ruthless and influential Alpha Luca, does not give him the exclusive right to ridicule your life" I couldn't help but let tears flow down my eyes as the whole pain came back to me as Maia's words scratched the large and deep wound in my heart.

"I hate Amando so much. Before all I felt for him was immense love and affection. But moving on, it's clear he felt nothing for me."I blubbered and sniffled.

The pain was too much for me to handle. I relaxed on the wall and stared at white wall.

"I am sure the moon goddes is going to give you another mate who is going to love and treated you more Better than he did'' Maia hugged me firmly, while I teared up and sniffled impromptu at intervals.

"Thanks so much" I said and kissed her on the forehead, forcing a smile amidst the quagmire my heart faced.

" So umm where is mom?" I used my palm to brush and dab off the tears that remained on my face.

"She is in her room"

After the whole incident of my rejection, coupled up with the suicide of my fatter, She was very broken. She rarely spoke these days and only did in very pertinent situations. It broke my heart more and more seeing her in that state of despair and hopelessness, knowing fully well that I was the cause of the whole heartbreak.

I had to leave my pack as well due to the stigma I got from fellow pack members who did not even regard me and my dad as core members of the pack because we were poor. They only treated us nicely then because I was mated to Armando and he was the son of the ruthless Alpha of the moonlight pack. But then I had to leave due to the indirect insults and neglect I got from them after the rejection from Armando and then the suicidde of Dad. It took me weeks to leave the house because everywhere I went, fingers were pointed at me. Yeah we were poor but then I never felt being financially impoverished should warrant such cruelty from both friends and the pack i saw as family.

"Hey mom" I smiled as I entered her room. but then i didn't even see her as I entered and I wondered where she was.

"Mom?" I bawled, but then still there was no reply . I roamed about in the room and finally, I saw her seated beside the bed on the other side with her hands folded and placed on her knees, with a pale countenance.

" What is wrong mom?" I said and rushed to her as she balanced on the floor. she was mute and didn't even care to look at me but just stared into space without even a blink

" Please talk to me mom"I said and wrapped myself around her.

" What do you want me to say?" She whispered with her breezy voice and mild voice. I gulped air

" Tell me what troubles you mom?" I said and picked up her hand, rubbing mine in them.

" Everything troubles me, my dear Elsa. The world is filled with various obnoxious moments. A lot troubles me my princess. I know you are broken but then try your best to hide it away from me, but then you are my daughter and I see through you. Since the death of your father we have been in serious shambles on her to fend for ourselves and it really troubles me." She paused and sniffled.

" In as much as you are trying your best to take up the family, I still worry about the future and especially that of Maia's. You are a loving daughter and I appreciate what you do but then I fear for you in the nigh future. and most especially, I worry about you and your future. I don't even know how you are managing my Elsa after all the issues you have faced and are still facing( Grabs my face and stares tenderly into my eyes with a bitter smile) I'm so proud of you. But then I wonder how long you are going to remain strong?" She opined with tears in her eyes.

"Mom, You do not have to worry about me. You all mean the world to me and I would do anything to make you and Maia happy as you are my world and the only ones who genuinely love me. And about taking care of you and the future, that's actually the reason I am here because I have made a decision." I said and her eyes spread.

" What decision Elsa?" She inquired.

“I want to leave”
