Chapter 3

Aurora's POV

My world crashed before my eyes, I was angry, I was sad yet I couldn't do anything about it, I couldn't even express myself.

“She has to return to her pack,

Will she be accepted?

I don't think Alpha Elijah marked her as his mate,

What will she do now?

Will she be bullied again?

Who will accept her now?

Even if someone was going to accept her, it would be someone of a lower rank or someone who doesn't have a status,

Her family will definitely have a lot to spend,

She might be alone forever,

Or she might end up being a mute mistress,

What will happen to her now?”

I shut my eyes tight as I could hear these whispers loud and clear. I couldn't dare look into their eyes, I could feel them judging me.

I laughed within myself, I should be the one rejecting him in front of everyone but he was doing it, my life was a fucking joke.

I walked to meet Indigo, “Please, save me, please.”

Indigo looked at me with indifference, this was the first time she looked at me this way, she had always had nothing but love for me but today was different.

“Aurora, I can't help you, I'm not the one cheating on you, it's your husband Alpha Elijah who is cheating,” Indigo hugged me, “Just the way your Mother destroyed my mother's marriage, that's just the way I will destroy yours.”

I pulled away from the hug and stared at her in disbelief. Did she pretend to like me all these time? All to make me suffer for what our parents did? How could she? I trusted her.

“I guess the party's over, I will be taking my leave,” The Lycan King said. The moment he stepped out of the ballroom, people followed him and the room became empty.

“You bastard, how could you, why did you do that? I curse you Elijah,” I asked angrily.

“What is she saying?” Elijah yelled.

To my surprise Elena slapped him across the face, “You bastard, have you gone mad!!!” Elijah yelled as his face turned red.

Elena went on her knees and bowed before Elijah, “Alpha Elijah, I'm sorry, I deserved to be hanged for it but my lady asked me to slap you,” Elena pretended to cry at Elijah's feet.

Elijah closed his eyes trying to control his anger, “Aurora, you and your minions have twenty minutes to get out of my house, I'm going to step out and when I get back, there shouldn't be any trace of you.”

I sat in my room emotionless, my brain was on total shut down as I watched Elena pack my things into my box.

“Are you okay?” I nodded my head. I wanted to cry but I couldn't cry.

“Let's go,” Scott said, he helped Elena carry my things to the carriage and I followed them.

I was scared, I didn't want to return to my house, Father was barely around and this could only mean I will stay with his family and they would make my life miserable. I also didn't want to return to the diamond pack. My parents may accept me into their home but will the pack accept me back?

“Lady Aurora is here!!!” The guard announced as I entered the house. The servant at home helped me carry my things from the carriage to my room.

“Look who has disgraced our pack and is finally back,” My stepmother clapped her hands, “It was difficult getting you married to such a person of high rank and you spoiled it all.”

“Let my daughter rest, she just came back home for the first time since she got married,” Father smiled. I searched his eyes and there was no sign of disappointment.

“Thank you,” I smiled at Father.

“Remember, you are my daughter and nobody else matters in this world,” Father replied in sign language and it brought joy to my heart.

“Yes, you should rest, it would be impossible to arrange your marriage to someone of higher rank so we will settle for a non ranked,” My stepmother hissed. I was already disgusted by her being near me.

“I should go upstairs and rest,” I informed Father. Stepmother didn't understand what we were saying as she never wanted to learn sign language.

I went up to my room and shut the world out. I didn't want any disturbance. Night turned into day, day turned into days, then weeks.

I thought it would get better but nothing, I was worse than ever, I didn't like going out, stepmother has been making it difficult for me anytime the suitors she brings home reject me.

“My lady, it's time for your lunch,” Elena said as she knocked gently on my door.

I ignored her and continued reading the book Father had given to me from one of his travels.

“My lady, you skipped your meal yesterday and this morning so please eat something today,” Elena knocked again.

“My child, you have to eat so you can go to the market, a new fabric is out and I have asked the modistes to keep some for you,” I ran and opened the door when I heard Father's voice.

“Father, what kind of fabric is it?” I asked excitedly.

“Eat first then you and Elena would go and see the fabric,” I smiled and nodded my head. I wasn't hungry but I forced myself to eat something so I could go to the market.

“A suitor would come today, his family have agreed to marry Aurora, he is the last son of Omega Nickolas, his name is David and he is kind of slow, he also has hearing issues,” Stepmother said and I dropped my fork.

This was part of the reason why I didn't like coming down for my meal, because my stepmother would always say something crazy.

“Their world is going to be so quiet for both of them,” Indigo laughed as she passed the dining room to her room.

“I will get snacks at the market, let's go to the modistes and Father, I don't need the carriages today,” I stood up.

“It's your favourite colour,” Father said in sign language and I nodded my head and left without saying goodbye to stepmother.

“Wait here, let me get the snacks,” Elena said, leaving me at the corner of the market, where there was barely anyone and I nodded my head even though she had already left.

“Isn't that the mute?” My wolf heard someone say from a far distance.

Not now, please wolf, don't pick up any sound, please.

“I hate her so much,” Someone said.

“Me too, she won't even be able to speak, how about we teach her a lesson?” Another said and they burst into laughter.

My legs began to shake as I heard their footsteps approaching, oh my heavens, where was Elena now?

“Hi dummy,” one of them pushed my head.

“What's the use of greeting her? She can't speak,” One of them said and they all laughed.

“This is going to be fun,” One of them said and they began to transform into their wolves form one by one.

I moved back out of fear, I doubt they would understand anything I tried to say.

“Move,” I heard someone say.

Huh? Whose voice was that? I looked around and it was weird because I heard it in my head. That was telepathy, it could only happen between mates but I was mateless.

One of the wolves ran to attack me, “I said move!!” The voice yelled and I moved, just then a branch fell and injured the wolf.

I looked around and saw Elena wasn't anywhere near and I couldn't even tell who the owner of the voice was.

“Let's run, else we would get killed,” My wolf said and without any warning, she transformed and started running while the other wolves were running to attack us.
