Chapter two: The last straw

Lisandra

The cake that I’m holding drops to the floor, making a loud thud sound and shattering everywhere. That is what seemingly gets their attention.

“What the fuck is going on here?” I ask, the pain loud and visible in my voice. My mate with his fucking cock in my sister. He scrambles up from her, trying to buckle his trousers appropriately, and approaches me with what looks like a remorseful, yet gleeful expression on his face.

“Lisandra, my love, this isn’t what it looks like. It’s all just a misunderstanding baby.” Is he being serious right now? Tears drop from my eyes as my hand smack his cheek hard.

“ A misunderstanding? You call your dick being inside my sister is a misunderstanding, huh Julian?” I ask, my voice rising by the minute. I then look at my sister. My beloved little sister who was the biggest reason for me still being here. Suddenly, hot fury fills my veins and before I can realize what I’m doing, I push Julian aside with sheer force, and rush towards her with a speed I didn’t even know that I was capable of. I feel a sharp pain in my gums which I have never felt before and my canines begin to elongate. All I see at the moment is red. In an instant, my hands are on her neck and I strangle her hard, lifting her with inhumane strength. Her eyes widen at what she’s seeing and she begins to choke. I release her only when her face turns blue and she slowly stops struggling. Shit! what the fuck just happened to me. I almost killed my Little sister.

“Lisa I…” I cut her off before she can even utter some sick excuse.

“How could you do this to me Gen? What did I ever do to you?

“No Li…” I cut her of again, the pain in my voice raw and agonizing

“ Shut the hell up! Every single thing I have endured up to this moment was for you Genevieve. I sacrificed my entire childhood just so you could have a better one. I endured abuse just so they wouldn’t hurt you! And this is how you repay me? By fucking my mate?” Tears drip down my face as she equally starts to cry on the floor. I try to find it in me to feel sympathy for her but all I can feel right now is immense hate and anger.

“I’m sorry Lisa. I couldn’t help myself. Julian and I, w-we…” she pauses and puts her head down in shame. She can’t even finish her sentence because she knows how wrong it is.

“Fuck you Genevieve. And fuck you too Julian. I hope you both get what you deserve.” I leave the both of them and run out of the pack house and into the woods. I run until I can’t physically move again and I fall to make knees and completely break down.

“ Selene! Can you fucking hear me?! Why are you doing this to me?” I scream at the bright moon, like the moon goddess can even hear me. It’s not like she has ever answered any of my prayers before. I sit on the dirt, the sound of crickets loud in the silence, and for a moment I wonder where I went wrong in all this. What did I even ever do to warrant this ? I’m hurt by mate’s betrayal but what hurts me the most is my sister’s betrayal. Gen and I have always been as thick as thieves. Heck, she’s the only real family I have and she went ahead to betray me like this. It feels like a hole has been carved into my heart

“Vulnera cordis sana. Lacrimae taceant. Pax in anima mea floreat.” As I chant the spell, a bright golden light calming my breathing, although it doesn’t calm the emotional pain I’m going through right now. Not even an emotional healing spell can heal me. What should I do? What can I do? I don’t think I can even stay in a room with Genevieve and Julian and ever be comfortable again. I don’t think I can survive in this pack any longer. I need to go out there and see what’s beyond Lunar ridge pack. There’s a whole kingdom out there and I refuse to confine myself with all the suffering and abuse to just this miserable pack. I have given this pack and this family my all that there’s nothing left to give. I have no reason to remain here any longer. Not after Julian and Genevieve’s betrayal. I have to leave this pack. I need to look for my real family, even if the chances of finding them are slim to none. I’ll fucking take that chance. I have nothing to loose.

With a nod of my head, I walk back to my house with my mind already made up. I’ll break the mate bond forever and I’ll leave the pack to become a rogue. I’ll do it all on the full moon gala where my presence won’t be noticed. I’ll finally be free.

“You won’t have to wait much longer, my sweet girl.”

A voice echoes directly inside my mind. It’s deep, powerful and unmistakably authorative. Where the hell did that come from? I stop in my tracks and turn around but I don’t see anyone I’m about to start walking again when the voice comes again, this time with a possesive growl.

“I’ve finally found you, and I am coming to collect what is mine.”
