Ch 2 the confrontation

Chapter 2(confrontation)

*Elisabeth POV*

Finally, I was able to find my way to my room, as I got there I let it all out! I didn’t bother to even hold it in, I cried my eyes out. I was going to be doomed, disgraced, and a slave. This was not what I had in mind when he convinced me of staying close to his side one year ago when I found my mate.

Adrian had convinced me to reject him, he said I was better by his side since he was in the next line to being the Alpha. And yes genuinely it was preferable to be marked by an Alpha than to be mated to a gamma, then he had not found his mate and so it was natural to me that I had rejected my mate for him if I wanted to be marked by him. And everything had been good, he stated his reasons and at least half of the pack were okay with it, as long as he wanted it, they had said. The rest didn’t support or reject it, they just didn’t say anything about it, even the gamma title I got had been through him, since my father was a gamma and my mother an Omega, I was given the omega title from the beginning, I was born an omega and it was difficult to claim to be Gamma, they had said it was going to be difficult since one of my parents was the Gamma, well until Adrian came into the picture.

Although I am an Omega by birth, I was given the Gamma title. Talk about being privileged. Thinking about all the love he had shown me, he is betraying me just when I needed him the most! When I least expected it. I was not sure if I heard correctly that Linda was his fated mate, or maybe it was my mind playing tricks on me.

I had left the both of them there, to continue whatever they had started and I know that was what they are doing because why else would he not have followed me into my room at that moment when he has seen firsthand the kind of pain that was in my eyes. And he of all people knows how this affects my life so, I could not even confront him in his study about his mate and how I have foolishly rejected mine for him. I didn’t want Linda to have another thing to mock me about, I was too ashamed. It doesn’t matter if he had whispered it to her during their lust making about how foolish I was when it came to him, but it’s better I don’t find out. I could not take the look on her face, I had to leave, carrying myself as farther away from his study as possible.

I looked at my bed, where I had the most amazing experience with him, he had held me so closely and warmly. He was always there to keep me safe, or so I thought. But it had all been torture to him. The torture he got tired of. It would not have pained me so much if I kept everything away from him and he just found out. But then that would be my fault.

I have to plan my escape, I thought to myself, I have to get out of there before the next time the demand for Omega slaves. which was supposed to be just a week from now, given it was just four days after the planned marking ceremony, the plan had been so perfectly timed that I thought I would long claim and marked before the day the omegas would go and be slaves to the Lycan King, they always do that as a way of thanking him for protecting them and giving them amenities they needed.

My title would mean nothing again, it had only mattered within the pack walls and the werewolves in them. But after all that, my title was irrelevant, it will not help me at all so I better run as far as my legs could carry me. But that too was almost impossible. Before morning, the other werewolves would have heard all that happened this night and I would have been covered in shame and monitored heavily.

I cried some more to the reality that was now in front of me, I was alone, all alone in this world. With my parents gone, Adrian was the only one I felt I could call family, I could depend on, and then Linda. But they had both betrayed me like I was a piece of biscuit that they can manage to do away with.

Thank God I have learned how to at least defend myself when it came to it, my father made sure I was skilled enough to do that, and he has told me countless times that I would need the lessons and that I should take them seriously. Thank God I did, if I manage to escape from the walls of the pack, I would be needing all the lessons I have learned to protect myself because then, it would be quite difficult to stay safe when everybody would be after you.

But going outside there would be much better than the shame and disgrace I would face in the pack. I will only need to wait for only three more days since I have to wait for the ceremony to be declared not happening, it’s too late to cancel now. It is said to always cancel at least one week before the date of any ceremony, that way it would not cause too much chaos. And since I know that after the declaration of rejection, people would not pay me much attention until when it was time to move to the Lycan King. They would not think much of me since then, I would be able to plan my escape. I won’t be the future Luna anymore, someone else will.

When I woke up the next morning, I found myself just where I had sat on the floor the night before, I must have been able to sleep after so much crying, I sat there still reliving the actions of last night, and I hope that it was just a dream. But it wasn’t when the omega assigned to me came knocking to ask me if I was going to eat with the pack members or if I would like to eat in my room “They have been waiting for you “ I could hear her say “ The Alpha said I should ask you, Luna, if you want to eat with them or eat alone “

Like I would be able to eat anything at all, but it seems like he was not bothered at all about what had taken place the night before, seeing the way he sent someone instead of showing his face to me. I thought.

But it still felt good that they still called me Luna even though everybody knows I am not officially one yet, everyone has always believed that I was their future Luna, that was supposed to be it, the only thing that was supposed to remain was the ceremony. I am going to enjoy it for the next two days as much as I can possibly can, I would enjoy all the privilege that came with being the Luna.

“ Yes please I will like to have my meal here, I must have slept off too late to wake up this late. Tell everyone I am sorry I didn’t show up early “

“ Okay Luna “

As I was about to close my door once again, I saw a hand gripping the door from being closed. It was Linda

“ Lisa, you must still be enjoying the fact that you are being called the Luna, that position would become mine very soon “ she looked down at her fingers rubbing them together, then added,” I think in just two days, the same day as your supposed rejection, I will be your Luna, I will rule over you! And you will look at me with so much respect than you are doing now “

She had deliberately come to anger me, I wanted to rip her head away from her body, I wanted to pounce on her and at least give her some scratches on her pretty face with some silver pins, so she could have a hard time healing.

“ Why did you do this to me? Just three days. . . No, two days and I would be legally married and marked by him, how could you do that to me, I did nothing wrong to you, I chose you as my friend . . . “

“ Hold it there, you didn’t choose me as your friend, I grew close to you on purpose because I didn’t want you to suspect anything “ The declaration slapped me hard across the face. If She and Adrian have been friends since before we started seeing each other, then this whole affair must have been going on long before now.

“ Since when have you been having sex with my boyfriend? “ I managed to ask, waiting for the answer.

“ He is not your boyfriend anymore if you have caught him with me, I only agreed not to say anything because you were so stupid you didn’t see what was in front of you, but to answer your question it had been almost a year, maybe a year even “ As I heard her speak, my legs gave way below me, I had to hold myself from giving her the pleasure of thinking she won.

The whole affair has been in front of me this whole time and I didn’t see it, was I the only one or have they really been so discreet?

“ So it was you then? It was you that sent me that message last night? “

“ Oh yes, I was beginning to get really bored of waiting while he doesn’t do anything about it “

“ SO WHY DID HE HOLD ME CLOSE WHEN HE WAS WITH YOU THE WHOLE FREAKING TIME? “ I screamed out of frustration.

And that seemed to surprise her “ Well because he wanted to use you to secure his title, if people saw him being kind to you a lowly Omega, it’s a plus for him. I have told him to let us just tell everyone about what’s going on so that they will all stop calling you their Luna, it bothers me. But he won’t listen, he is saving you from the disgrace before the D-day “

I wanted to slap her face, I wanted her to know the hurt she was causing me, but I stopped myself, it would only get me in trouble. The only gift I can give myself is not to add to my already troubled heart so I can leave the pack peacefully. It would only cause more eyes to be on me and I don’t want that.

She looked at me as it seemed that there were more things she wanted to say, the main reason she was in my room.

Before she said it my head already thought it, so I started to shake my head as she said the words “ I am expecting the Alpha heir, it is breading peacefully in my tummy. And it’s not tainted blood like yours, his mum would is a beta, and his father is the Alpha. See if you can beat that “

I didn’t know what happened next, I could just see her holding her hand to her face, crying deeply. . . I had slapped her with my silver heels, how I got it, I didn’t know but I had the satisfaction of my life in it. I will face the consequences later.
