Chapter two

Alfred pulled me to the stage, where everyone could see me, before pushing me down roughly, earning a gasped from everyone present.

I could hear them murmuring amongst themselves, but I wasn't the least bit worried about what they were saying... I was just too heartbroken to care. And by now, I couldn't feel Alfira(my wolf) anymore... She must have disappeared to the deepest part of me, so she wouldn't be hurt again.

Although, I was a half-blood, I have a wolf and can shift like every other wolf... But I was much smaller in size and weaker than a pure blood wolf.

"Alpha Alfred, what in the devil's name have gotten over you for you to treat your mate in that manner? How can you treat your mate and the Luna so disrespectfully in front the pack members," one of the elder spoke up, and I heard Alfred scoff.

"You should ask her that question. You should ask the whore why I'm treating her in this manner?" Alfred blurted out, and once again, gasp rang out through the entire hall.

"Did he just call her a whore?" They murmured once again, and I felt tears trickle down my eyes. 

"Alpha Alfred, what did she do for you to treat her in such manner. Look, she's in tears, she doesn't deserve such," Raphael, Alfred's beta asked, and the rest nodded in agreement.

"You think she doesn't deserve such," Alfred scoffed in disbelief as he turn to me. "Do you want to tell them what you did, or should I?"

I remained quiet, as I wasn't in the mood to speak. Nothing I say mattered anyway so why should I bother saying it. 

"You won't talk right? Then I would do it... This woman who you all believe to be so righteous and not deserve the treatment I'm giving her is nothing but a shameless whore. She is pregnant with another man's child," Alfred announced, and the hall went into a state of uproar.

"Pregnant with another man's child... Alpha, are you sure of what you are saying?"

"I'm very sure, thats why I'm going to provide you with proof at the early hours of tomorrow, I would bring the Luna's lover in front of you all," Alfred retorted, and I saw his lips curved into an evil smirk, making me wonder what he was up to. 

He said he was going to bring my lover in front of everyone, does that mean he's going to frame me?

Just like I thought, Alfred brought a man whom I have never seen in front of the elders, but it was not at the early hours of the morning like he said, it was almost noon when he showed up, with beta Raphael trailing after him with the unknown man.

Last night, the elders agreed to let Alfred provide proof of my infidelity, and after that, I was locked in room so I wouldn't be able to escape. Not that I would... I had no where else to go. I had no family because they had all abandoned me.

"Elders, sorry I'm late... It was almost impossible for me to get the luna's lover as he was trying to flee," Alfred lied, casting me a glance, before turning back elders. "You all know how I loved and adored my mate, I never imagined that she would do such a thing to me," he added, shedding fake tears and just like that, the people who once sympathize and supported me, the people who once acknowledged me as their luna, turned against me.

Even the unknown man, Alfred brought had claimed that he was indeed my lover, and that I was pregnant with his child. And just like that, all my hopes and dreams crumbled down before me. 

Every ounce of admiration, love and desire I felt for Alfred, vanished in thin air_ I had loved this man from the very moment he found me... No before I even met him, I had fantasized about how we would both love each other immensely, but it was all a fantasy that remained a fantasy to the very end. 

As I stood before the elders and pack members, I could hear them point fingers at me, they judged and called me all manner of names, but for some reason, I wasn't hurt by their remarks. After all, what could be worst than being betrayed by your mate, the very person who was destined for you? What can be worst than your mate's constant rejection, even if he doesn't actually say it in words? What can be worst than your mate, making love to another woman, while you lie on the cold floor, listening to them?

Alfred was the one who was unfaithful, yet he said I was because I wasn't good enough for him. I was to weak for an alpha like him. And even though he kept hurting and disrespecting me over and over again, I still kept hoping. I was so foolish and naive that I kept hoping that one day, he would change and accept me, but that day never came. 

I remember when I escaped the Island and was immediately captured by him. That day was the happiest moment of my life as Alfira and I rejoiced, thinking we finally found our mate. We thought, that it was the beginning of our happiness, since we have been in isolation for many years. However, Alfred looked at me with so much hate and disgust, before saying "You're a half blood, and you reek of weakness... Someone as weak as you don't deserve to be my mate_ you don't deserve to be my luna. And the only reason I am not rejecting you is so that I could get what I want. After that, I would do away with you."

From that moment, I was shattered and it was the beginning of my suffering, as Alfred kept maltreating me till now.

I was so hurt by his betrayal and all the hurt I've had to endure, that the tears wouldn't come out. I wanted to cry, but the tears won't come out.

"Someone who is unfaithful is calling me unfaithful. Someone who is shameless is calling me shameless, someone who is a whore is calling me a whore. Alfred you will suffer for the rest of your life, and never know happiness. You will get double of what ever pain you've caused me... For rejecting my child, you will never have a child of your own. I curse you Alfred Salvador, I curse you. And I Majel Marlene Coleman reject you as my mate," I yelled, clenching my chest as I felt immense pain after that.

Everyone gasped after hearing me curse and reject Alfred and some also curse at me, while others pleaded with Alfred to beg me to reverse my curse, however he stare blankly at me, with no emotions at all.

"Elders, I plead with you to not punish Majel, just banish her from the pack I don't want her to suffer," Alfred said, acting like he was worried about me. After all, that was all he was good at. Acting and playing the victim's card.

"Luna Majel, you should be ashamed of yourself. Even after all you've done, Alpha Alfred is still pleading on your behalf, this only show how big hearted and good of a man he is," one of the elder praised him, earning a scoff from me. If only they knew the kind of person he was. If only they knew how black his heart was. 

"Luna Majel, if you confess you sins, and acknowledge your mistakes, we will banish you from the pack without punishment, however, if you refuse to acknowledge your mistakes, you'd "be locked up in the dungeon for the rest of your life."

I chuckled as I stare at them in disbelief. "Only those who have committed a sin acknowledge their sin, and I haven't committed any sin," I muttered boldly, stunning myself and the pack.

I have always been the quiet and shy type, who would have thought that one day, I would be able to speak so boldly? Or maybe it was the betrayal that made me this way...

Two days later

I lay on the cold floor of the dungeon, as tears stream down my eyes. What sin have I committed for my life to be full of so much sorrow? I pondered, wishing I never left the Island. 

If only I had remained in the Island like uncle had said, maybe I would never have experienced this. But no, I wanted my freedom, I wanted to know what if felt like to have my mate, now look where I'm at.

I was so busy wallowing in my pain, that I didn't notice another presence in the dungeon until I heard someone say, "Hello Majel," and I immediately sat up, tilting my gaze to the direction the voice came from.

Behold a very tall handsome man with electric blue eyes and long dark hair pack in ponytail stood before me, with his hands crossed behind him and I could immediately tell that he was an alpha by how strong and dominating his aura was.

"Wh... Who are you?" I asked, moving backward in panic and he chuckled, seeing my reaction. "I'm not here to hurt you, I am here take you and my child."
