Erica:
No, I had heard wrong, he did not just say he wanted a divorce.“Dante, you didn’t just say that. You’re not leaving me for Laura .” My thinking was disorganized like I was. I was trembling, he had hurt me a lot but this was too much.“I’m serious, Erica. I want you to leave my pack, I want you to leave me. Our marriage is over.” As he said this I held my chest tight, his words hit me hard like an arrow had pierced me straight at my heart and it was painful.“Dante..” hot tears streamed down my eyes.“There’s no need for you to be here, Erica. I had gotten married to you because I wanted a child from my mate, but you haven’t even given me a child, not even a miscarriage. You know you are not the type of woman I want. You are a pathetic worthless wolf, Erica. Leave. Sign the papers and leave.” He picked up the file he had left back on my Vanity table and handed it to me.“So you mean you are leaving your mate for someone you’ve been sleeping around with? Please, Dante, we can forget you ever said this, I would love you as no one has before. Don’t do this to me.”“I don’t want to force you to do this, sign the paper and leave this instant. “He was trying to speak calmly when Laura walked into my room, I looked at her, she walked into my room with a satisfactory smile on her face, she was happy all of this was happening to me. Why would she be happy to see someone hurt?“This is all your fault, Laura.” Before I understood what was happening, I was in front of her, hooking her on her neck and sending a shivering slap to her face.“It’s all your fault, you witch. You're a homewrecker.” As I held her she pushed me and slapped me back but I wasn’t going to watch her take my man and still hurt me. I sent another slap to her face with all the anger in my heart and I began to pull her hair.Dante came between us and pulled me away from Laura, stopping me from hitting her while I tried to hold a grasp of myself, Dante raised his hand and sent a very harsh slap to my face that caused me to fall to the ground, hit my head on the floor and tear my lips.I was on the floor looking, trying to catch my breath. I took my hurting neck up to stare at him, he glared at me with anger brewing in his eyes.“I Alpha Dante West of Blue Hades pack, Rejects you Erica Hades, I reject you as my mate and I break every bond we share.” As he said this it was like I was burning inside of me, a burning sensation grew in my chest and as much as I tried to not scream because I didn’t want to look weak, I couldn’t help it. I let out a scream.“No, Dante, don’t do this,” I begged then I fell on my face“Accept the reject, bitch.” He spat out angrily.I wanted it to stop maybe accepting his rejection would make it stop.“I accept. I accept your rejection.” As I said this, the pain dropped a little but it was still there, I felt the pain in my chest.Laura picked up the divorce papers, pulled the pen from Dante’s pocket, and handed it to me. I didn’t think about it, I signed it and immediately after she had gotten what she wanted, she began to pull me out of my room. She pulled me and I begged her to stop but she didn’t.I couldn’t do anything, I could barely move a muscle, I had been hurt from the pain of the rejection and I was still facing so much pain. Dante is Lycan King and I am just a random lady with werewolf scents.“You hurting me stop, Laura.” She pulled me down the stairs, not minding that I was a living thing and I was facing so much pain already.“Your time here is up.” My voice, my crying had made the maids and the ranked Lycans living in the pack house all come out. They all watched Laura throw me out of the pack house and lock me out. They all watched their Aloha throw their Luna out.I was outside crying and begging but no one was coming to help me.Everywhere was hurting, my head. My chest, my tummy.“Your time here is up.” Her words rang in my ear and all I could picture was my husband's unbothered face as his mistress pulled me out of his pack house.I began to walk out of the pack house, I walked to the empty and dark road.It was creepy, no one was out at this time and I cried as I walked. With every step, the pain all over my body increased, but there was more pain in my tummy, so I held my tummy tight. I was feeling dizzy and I was walking on the empty road all alone.We’ve heard stories of rouges attacking people out on the road and Dante didn’t think of it. He didn’t think that it was dangerous to let me go out this mate.I was in pain and I was asking the moon goddess to keep me safe. She had caused me all of this pain in the beginning so it was only right that she kept me safe.I felt more dizzy, darkness had covered everywhere and the weather was becoming very cold, the sky rumbled but I kept pushing, step by step I kept going withstanding the pain in my tummy.It was becoming too painful to bear, it was slowly going from my tummy to my vagina, I could feel a stinging pain in my lower abdomen, I have never felt something like this.The sharp pain came again and I held my tummy tight.I cried. I looked down at the gown I was wearing, blood had stained it and blood was slowly crawling down my legs.I looked around, it was completely dark and empty, no one was there and I didn’t know what was happening, I touched my leg and felt the blood, I touched the blood to see if I was dreaming.I wasn’t, I was bleeding.“Am I pregnant?” I asked myself. If I was then it meant my baby was in danger.No.I tried to walk more. Maybe it would help but the pain was so much, I fell on the ground crying.I felt dizzier and weaker, my eyes closed and I fell into darkness.Erica:I spun around, almost not believing mt reflection in the mirror. My jaw dropped. I knew the dress was beautiful but I never thought that it would be this beautiful. The maids were dumbfounded and couldn’t even mutter a single excited squeal.“Miss Erica,” one of them managed to say but they didn’t need to say anymore. I already knew and I knew that the rest of us could agree with her.The wedding was supposed to happen in the night, when the moon was first seen in the sky. It was evening. Time had flown by fast. It was already the evening. A few more hours and I would see Dante again. My heart was fluttering in my chest. It was too much.Yte maids packed up their things and left.“We will call you when it is time for the procession.”They left and I was all alone. I sat on the chair and looked out of the window, like I was waiting for the moon in the sky.Thoughts whisked pass in m y mind. All the pain that I had endured, the temptations, the hurt, the war, all of it and now, I
Erica:It was afternoon. I hadn’t seen Dante all day. I laughed to myself and sat back on my bed. It was bad luck for the couple to see each other before the wedding. The clouds felt brighter, the air felt fresher. Everything seemed perfect. It was stunning. I loved it.“Mom!”The door slammed open and my kids rushed in and jumped into my arms. I hugged them all, sniffing the tears back.“Mom, you aren’t even ready yet,” Elsa frowned, tugging hair. b”You haven’t even brushed your hair yet.”I chuckled and pulled her onto my lap.“I will get it all done, but I won't be able to do that with you three running all over me.”Ethan puffed up his chest and became the big brother.“Come on. Mom needs to get ready.”He pushed his unwilling sisters to the door and closed the door behind the three of them. I giggled. They were so sweet. I loved them so much.I had a quick shower and sat down at the dressing table. It was a simple wedding. Nothing fancy. I had already been married to him before..
Erica:Dante! No!I felt something inside of me change. My eyes closed and I could no longer feel the pain from my wounds.What was this light? Why was it so bright?I opened my eyes. My fur! It was… it was white!I stood up. I felt strong again. My wounds were gone, and Hazan and Javier were whimpering in pain, lying near a few rocks. How did they even get there?Huh! The Gem!Lisa was hiding in the undergrowth but it didn't take long before I found her.“No! Please! Don't kill me!"She tried to cover her head and the Gem slipped from her grasp.I turned around. Hazan was down and so was Javier. This was my chance…I shifted into my human form and grabbed it. Its body was cold against my fingers and glowed faintly. I had to find Dante. We had the Gem. We could end the war!As I ran to the battlefield, I heard footsteps behind me. My heart was racing…I wasn't sure how I could carry the Gem in my wolf form. Once I shifted, I would go crazy and attack Hazan.No! I needed to focus. I nee
Erica:I stood at the front lines. It had been hours, but there was still no sign of Hazan. My heart began to falter. Had he given us the slip? Our sources did confirm that he was gearing up for battle and he was planning to make his move today as well.I had never been to war. Robert, Dante and Lorenzo stood at my side. The men were agitated, both fearful and itching for action.I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. My father had asked me to have faith and love, that I would win. I only hope I had enough.The agitation was broken by a loud cry. I gasped. He was here. He was coming.We stood our ground and assumed our ranks. The wolves were snarling and growling, itching to sink teeth into flesh. Then… I saw them.Hazan and his troops emerged from the forest to the clearing, led by a tall, handsome man with jet-black hair and glowing green eyes. I saw his hand.The Gem! He had it!My breathing quickened. His eyes glowed even brighter. Javier stood beside him with a devilish smile o
Erica:How could I be so stupid! Javier! It has always been Javier. I should have known!We all stood over the map of the pack and the war plans. I was fighting to keep my wolf inside of me. Now that Javier had escaped and possibly exposed our plans to Hazan, that was when Clarissa and Lorenzo told me that Javier had been pretending to date Clarissa. He offered to go on the date with Clarissa and asked them to keep their mouths shut about it.“We made a few adjustments," Robert said calmly, moving a piece forward. “We have new warriors coming in; they will help us hold the front line, and we will be able to hold them off for a while."“What about Hazan?" Dante asked, avoiding making eye contact with me. “His has the Gem. If he activates it, he will be unstoppable. Our wolves on the front line will be useless. It will be a slaughter."“Put me on the front line," I cut in, my eyes still burning into the paper.The room fell silent and I could feel all eyes on me.“Erica, you can't. You
Javier:I dashed out and flagged down a taxi. Ever since this evacuation, transportation has been low. Damn that Erica!I jumped in.“Where to, Sir?"“Jasmine Hotel. Step on it!"The driver stepped on the gas and I reeled forward, nearly hitting my head on the chair in front of me.I snarled. I turned back but the road behind me was clear. They weren't coming after me but I wasn't going to bet on it.I had to get to Hazan but it was going to be a little difficult. They had mounted tough security at the borders. Jasmine was the closest place to the South border. I could find my way once I got there.A sigh escaped my lips and I massaged between my brows. Finally, we were one step closer to taking over one of the biggest packs in the region, a step closer to proving to my father that I was worthy of his love, worthy to lead his Empire after him.It didn't take long before I reached Jasmine Hotel. The traffic was light.As I paid the driver, I looked over my shoulder. Why did I feel like
