Chapter 3

Roselyn

I had woken up with a banging head. Yesterday was the most horrible day of my life. Seeing Selene and Jackson together caused me so much pain, I had cried so much and I ended up in the guest room because I didn’t want to go to my room. I would see Jackson in the room and it would only cause me more pain.

I wish I hadn’t seen them, maybe I wouldn’t be in this much pain.

If only Jackson could love me for who I am and be patient with me then maybe things wouldn’t be this way. He wouldn’t go around fucking other women.

I had no one to turn to, normally, I’d tell Selene about it. I’ll run to her the next day and explain everything because I thought she was my friend but I was mistaken.

She never really liked me, all of it was just a charade to get closer to my husband.

No wonder she always advised me to leave him

I did not deserve this much pain, I am just a defect wolf that didn't cause any harm.

Today I would confront Jackson, I would tell him how much I hurt and how disgusting it is.

Honestly, it was not the first time I had seen him having sex with a woman that is not me but this time I was so humiliated and pained because it was with my best friend.

I had wanted this day to be perfect. I had wanted nothing to happen today, I just wanted to be happy as it was my birthday, not like it was the day I was born, I was unable to remember the day I was born. I was just a little child when I was found by the borders of Rabid shadow pack but it was the day I was found and for the reason that I was alive, it was good enough to celebrate it.

I got out of the bed after crying for a long while, I freshened up and stayed in bed until it was late in the evening.

Jackson would be back home anytime soon and I was really looking forward to having a talk with him.

I was still in bed, with a book in my hand when the door of the guest room opened and Jackson walked in. The nerve of him to walk into the room without knocking.

“What do you want?” I tried to make the words sound stern but it came out flat like I was begging him.

“I came to have a talk with you.” He said, I looked at him from head to toe, he hadn’t even changed from his work attire. He was neatly dressed in a suit but he looked really tired, his work bag was still in his hand.

“I also want to talk to you. I saw you with Selene yesterday, Jackson.” I climbed down the bed and mentally begged myself not to crack in front of him.

“I know you don’t love me, because I am barren, I know you don’t love me because I am a nobody, Jackson but please don’t hurt me the way you do because I am human as much as I am a werewolf please. All the time I feel you having sex with all those women, I die slowly. Please Jackson. I’m not asking for much, I just want you to love me.”

“Is it too hard to love me? You want to bang me like you bang Selene? Please do, do anything to me but just love me.” I wish he could understand how much I love him and return even ten percent of my love.” I held his hand as I cried, I cried so much even though I had begged myself not to crack, I went as far as crying.

“Roselyn.” His voice was not calm but it didn’t come out as harsh.

I took my eyes up to meet him, if only he could just see it.

He let go of my hand and took his work bag out, took out a flat box and handed it to me.

“This is for me?” I asked.

“Is it a birthday gift?” He was quiet, it looked like he felt remorseful as he didn’t have much to say.

“Can I open it?” I asked, I was so excited it was the first time I was receiving a gift from him.

“Yes.” I quickly opened the box and it contained a file. I wondered why he’d give me a file nevertheless, I opened it and the moment I read the first line in the file, I looked up at him in shock.

“What! Divorce?” My body trembled just holding the papers.

“Please don’t do this. I know that you no longer have patience but please Jackson don’t do this to me, you're the only family I have please.” He stood and stared at me as I begged.

“This marriage isn’t working so let’s end it.” He finally spoke up and his words carried more weight.

“Don’t make me force you.” As he said this the door was pushed open and Mirabel walked in.

“Sign this and get the fuck out of this house immediately.” She yelled at the top of her voice while I looked at Jackson to get anything from him.

“Sign the goddamn papers.” Jackson yelled.

“I am tired of being in a loveless marriage, I also want to be happy okay.” He added. Our marriage was only loveless because he wanted it to.

“Maybe if you tried to love me. If you forgot about my status maybe you would have loved me.” I screamed.

“I was never the problem, I loved you. I love you so much and I did everything just so you could return my love but your eyes were blinded by my status. Why did you accept me in the first place, why did you get married to me?” I cried.

“You know what? I, Alpha Jackson Ethel rejects you Roselyn Ethel as my mate, Luna and my wife and I set you free of every duty and break every bond we share.” as he said this I felt a very sharp pain in my chest.

I fell to the ground holding my chest.

I didn’t deserve this.

“I want you out now! Leave this house immediately.” His voice was very stern and he wasn’t even giving me a chance.

The clouds rumbled and the splat of rain increased rapidly.

“It’s raining outside, where do you want me to go? You're my only family.” I cried.

“I don’t care, Roselyn, I want you out.”

“Mirabel, show her out.” He ordered and immediately Mirabel came to me, she took me by my hand and began pulling me out of the guest room.

“Jackson, Jackson.” I cried, I begged him not to let her send me out of the house by this time but it was to no avail, he acted as though he was deaf and wasn’t hearing what I was saying to him.

As Mirabel pulled me and I screamed, Selene came over to us, he helped Mirabel in pulling me out of the mansion.

I saw the maids watch their Luna be pulled out like she was some kind of slave, I watched myself get pulled out by my own best friend and Jackson had nothing to say.

I was thrown out of the mansion into the rain and the door was shut against my face.

This wasn’t how I had planned my birthday. I stood under the rain for a while, I was thinking they’ll come back to open the door for me but I was out there for hours getting drenched in the rain and they didn’t show up.

I began walking, finding my way to the empty road which was dangerous at night. I held myself tightly as I walked down the road.
