CHAPTER 4

ELODIE

It felt as though it was the beginning again, the pain that comes with it when your mate, who is now your husband, looks at you like you are the most disgusting being that he has ever seen.

I stood there still shocked by the words that had come out of his mouth to make any movement.

All in my head I thought I had moved past that, that wherever my family was taking me was better than the life I had lived before, but how wrong I was.

Now I can't leave this place, I can't move away from here since I will be trapped in this life that is filled with hate and distrust.

I walked into the room that was pointed out to be mine and stood there for a longer time before I walked to the bed and sat.

After some hours, I finally decided to undress myself, in the cold of the night when I was feeling lonelier than ever.

'Why does he hate us so much?' Zoe asked 'his wolf Ian liked us a lot but he doesn't' she said with a loud sniff and I could hear her voice breaking down.

"You spoke with his wolf?' I asked her and she answered yes.

'He likes us a lot.'

I felt hurt all over again and didn't know when my eyes were broken with tears that I fell to the floor and lay there bawling my eyes out. 

A sound startled me awake as I opened my eyes and realized I was on the floor. But I wasn't concerned about that part but about the sound that I was hearing right now, what was that?

It was a male groan mixed with something like a sigh, or what could that sound be?

It was soft and alluring.

I stood from the floor and stripped myself of what I was wearing as I looked inside and put on my night dress walking out of the room.

My wolf had gone very silent as I walked to the place the sound was coming from, the alluring soft sound.

When I stood in front of a door, the sound was louder as I could hear some more words coming out of their mouths.

I felt my chest tightened but did not stop until I opened the door and with the amount of light that was inside the room, I could see them.

My mate is on top of another woman, and the two of them are very much naked.

A loud cry came out of my mouth as I felt the tears run down my eyes.

“What the hell are you doing here?” He asked as he turned around and faced me.

I looked at the woman who had a smirk on her face as she looked at me and I could see the pleasure of me looking at them that basked in her eyes.

“I asked you a question?” He repeated himself and I could not help but feel the way my whole body tensed as it seemed I had no words to say to him.

“I...... I don't.....” I could not find the words to say, so the only thing I could do was flee from there. I ran out, as fast as my legs could carry me, without looking back.

Likewise, I ran into the woods I could see from here until I was panting and exhausted and very much tired.

Seeing a big tree, I walked to the tree and sat there, and then the tears were flowing.

I should never have met him, I should never have been married to him and the moon goddess should never have made him my mate.

All I ever wanted was to have a good life, where I don't feel like I wasn't part of it but now? That is not happening because, regardless of what, I am his wife and Luna now.

“What are you doing here?” I was startled at the voice that came from behind and looked at the person who stood there.

His eyes were soft as he looked at me.

“Ummmmm…" Standing up, I looked at him and wiped off the tears that ran through my eyes.

“Your face is new, are you from this pack or??” He regarded me more than he bowed. “You must be my Liam's wife, that makes you….” He bowed, and I just looked at him, how did he know who I was?

“I must have lost my way here, could you please take me back to the house?” I asked him, and he nodded sharply as he led me back to the house.

I know how much I didn't want to go back there again, I don't want to go back there and don't want to see him either, but I can't say that I wanted to escape and find my way there.

As we got closer to the house and I can see it now, I looked at him and stopped.

“What is your name?” I asked him.

“I am Andrew, the beta of this pack and the alpha's best friend.” He introduced me and I swallowed and looked at him with gratitude.

“Thank you, I can find my way inside now.”

He stood there as I walked away and walked as slowly as I could to the house.

I held the door and didn't want to go inside. When I looked behind me, Andrew was still standing there, so I had no choice but to open the door as I walked inside the house.

It was silent, I hastened my step, walked inside the room, and made sure to close it securely before I fell back to the floor and stayed just there with my chest aching with all the pains that I never knew I would feel.

He has not marked me yet, I certainly hope that he doesn't and that means one day I will be free to run away from here as fast as my legs could carry me and never come back.

Because all of these pains? I am tired of feeling it.
