His rejection; the fate of my true mate

My mother, Kimble was picking the herbs at the garden by the time I got home and I rushed to her side to flaunt my newly acquired ring. The stone on the ring flashed as it basked in the glory of the setting sun as it fell on it.“What is that on your finger?” she asked, trying to get a good look“Did you get a new ring? You just love to buy unnecessary things” she started to scold me and the big smile on my face dropped at her reaction only for her to realize and pause when she saw the position of the ring on my finger.She almost stuttered, “By chance… did Emory?” her hands rushed to her mouth to cover it up.“It took you so late to realize” my eyes rolledShe jumped at me and pulled me in a tight hug. Her reaction was obvious that she was happier than me at that point and I did understand her.“What if the pressure around makes him reject you?”“I honestly don’t think this will work out”“Will your love be enough to cover up for the distance in class?” Those were her worries all th

Emory walked into the room as I was coming out of the bathroom where I went to clean myself up and I welcomed him with a bright smile. “Hey, you are here” I waved as I walked to my bed.My heart beating so loud it could break out of its ribcage.“I had no choice to come over since you didn’t show up. We agreed to meet today but you didn’t come” he responded and it dawned on me that I had forgotten our meeting, thanks to the ugly situation I found myself.I palmed my forehead as I muttered “I had forgotten totally” with my eyes closed but he told me it was okay.What a sweet gentleman my groom was, he didn’t deserve these lies and deceit.He only came to check up on me to see if I was fine. “Since you are fine, I will be on my way because I have to attend to something” he announced and headed for the door to take his leave.I rushed to hold his hand making him look back in shock. My eyes were trembling with fear but I quickly sealed it off with a smile.“You love me dearly right?” I as

The wedding morning came and everyone was filled with smiles and joy as they danced to the bride’s room to help her dress up and usher her out. Aria and Anais came very early to help with necessary things but Kimble directed them to Freya’s room.“Help her dress up on time, the wedding will start soon” she told them and they rushed to her room but was greeted by an empty room. “Is she taking her bath?” Anais wondered and matched to the bathroom but she was nowhere to be found.Fear gripped them as they started ransacking everywhere to look for her. They quickly alerted her parents and the search party began, everyone was looking for her at one corner or the other but she was not in sight.For good two hours, everyone keep searching every possible place she might be but it was a futile effort.Her mother was puzzled about whatever might have happened, different scenario was playing in her head but the wedding was the least of her concerns right now, she needed for find her child. “She

Kimble still haven’t given up over the disappearance of her daughter. She was always going through every streets and corners to see if she would come across her but all was to no avail. She even went to visit Aria and Anais in order to interview them if Freya had discussed anything about running away or voiced her displeasure for the wedding she was supposed to have with Emory.“She had never discussed running away with us. She was all happy and grinning about the wedding when she was telling us about it so there was no displeasure she expressed about it. Even when we told her that she was being too obvious about it, she only said that was because she was happy getting married to the one she loves and will continue to love till her last breathe” Anais explained.Aria supported the claim by narrating how she told her about the thrill of living as Emory’s wife, the respect and how she will be able to support him officially from behind since she will be his wife by then. “She had never f

Emory was busy sulking alone in his room after the second round of soldiers came back from the search and brought him the news of no hope. He paced up and down the room as the memories they had both shared flowed through his mind, he was weighed down with sadness and he knew that with the continuous news of no hope, he might never get to see his beloved mate anymore. Everything was tiring to him and nothing interested him anymore, he could see the last night they saw together vividly in his head. She had cried her heart out in front of him while pleading for mercy but he was too livid to hear anything from her. She did break the entire trust he had in her, he was disappointed in her secret that he had found out. He didn’t even mean all the things he had said to her but he regretted every bit of it because he couldn’t stop blaming himself about how it might have led to her disappearance. “I shouldn’t have pushed her away that night, I shouldn’t have been so harsh to her like that. I di
