Chapter 3

Cassie Jones POV

I was equally surprised at what I just did, my tears now flowing as I pointed my hands towards him. “I’d give you my heart because I thought you were worthy of it.”

“I’d allowed you to sleep with me because I thought you were worthy of my innocence, I’d loved you for years because I thought you felt the same and you were just viewing me as a fling to you just because I would lower myself down to you huh.” I flared angrily in tears.

It hurts! It hurts how much I loved him and was stupid for him but he was only being stupid about it because he knows.

“Was it two days ago? When you wanted to tell me something and he shut you up? Was it then he knew they were both mates?” I turned to Daisy .

She scoffed, “I thought you were overly in love. I only wanted to warn you to stay clear of my sister man. Who knew you would go to any length of making yourself a slut to him.” She said, rolling her eyes at me and my mind boiled in anger.

“Thwack.” The slap was so smooth and fast that everyone gasped at the scene. I was surprised as well because I never expected that to come out this way even though I had been taking in my anger.

Jamie turned towards me in anger, doing something I never expected. He pushes me violently, causing me to lose my balance as I fall down.

I groaned in pain as I stared at him, “Who’ll want an orphan and no rank girl like you to be my Luna. To be the Vale pack Luna. Are you worthy of being one yourself? You expect me to reject my own mate just to stay with you? What can you even offer back to me?”

I was shocked at his statement. I was an orphan with no rank? If my parents hadn’t died because of the war that broke out in our pack and the betrayal of someone that actually caused it to be impossible to make it out alive.

Does he think he’ll be on a par with me to even be my mate?

“You do know why my parents died right?” I cleaned my tears standing up. I was in pain but I needed answers.

“Yea, they died because of their stupidity. A war wouldn’t have broken out in your pack if they had protected the border line well.” His laughter erupted, everyone in the room laughed after him.

I ran away in tears, my face full of embarrassment as I went to my room to pick up some of my stuff. I just want to be out of here truly.

As I was on my way out, Alex came to meet me. I frowned seeing as she blocked my way with her maids.

“So how does it feel to be abandoned?” She asked me, I didn’t want to reply to her back and make an attempt to leave but she pushed me backwards again so I’ll be facing her.

“Alex , I agreed you won, you’ve got him already so please let me go. I am already leaving and won’t have anything to do with the pack again so enjoy it while it lasts.” I said back to her which made her frown as she pushed me.

If it wasn’t because of my wolf strength, I'd have been down with the way she pushed me. “What do you mean?” She asked me angrily.

“I’m telling you to enjoy it while it lasts because this your position wouldn’t last till you thought of it. Jamie doesn’t love you. He will never do it.” I said and pushed her out of the way walking out but stopped as I got to the main gate.

I looked back at the pack and I couldn’t stop my tears as I walked away. He couldn’t even come to see me for the last time.

I at least expected him to feel remorseful and come to see me for the last time. Seeing as he wouldn’t come, I left without looking back so I wouldn’t feel reluctant again.

After walking for hours, I stopped feeling tired. I was deep into the forest but I could still feel and hear the sound of wolves so I’m still at the Vale pack territory.

My body shivers from the cold and I set out my backpack taking out the necessary things to set a camp.

I ate my dinner before deciding to stroll around the forest. Maybe I’ll see some fresh meat or fruits. I unexpectedly came back more late, bringing back a bush meat I saw, I set the fire and turned it.

After I was done, I ate part of it, keeping the remaining part in my backpack before lying down to sleep.

Staring at the moon shining, I reflect back on my life, my tears trickling down my eyes and threatening to fall.

I cleaned it with the back of my palm as I closed my eyes, drifting off to sleep.

*****

It has been a few weeks since I had left the Vale Pack. I was attacked by a rogue wolf which made me lose my belongings as I was already weak.

A tough and rough week without shelter or food.

And all I could hear was the whispering of wolves that I had been hearing since I started the journey of nowhere in particular.

The forest stretched endlessly before me and every step I took ruffled the bush as lightning struck harder, making me halt.

I leaned against the trunk of an ancient oak, its bark cool and rough under my fingers and a part of me wondered if this journey was worth it and maybe it was set to kill me.

I have heard tales of banished Wolves, forgotten in the wilderness and weak but I never knew I would be here in those shoes even as a runaway wolf.

Perhaps I was meant to die anyway.

I surely couldn't go back to my packs, it would be a disgrace to my deceased family and I would be tamed as a cursed being. But do I want that?

As I took another step, a strange sensation coursed through my chest. I felt like I was pulled forward with a force I couldn't even ignore making my chest make a heavy sigh. I was scared.

I tried hastening my steps but if it wasn't enough soon, the forest had a way to a clearing. In front of me, I was staring at a group of rogue wolves, huge and fluffy staring back at me like they were ready to devour me.

“Oh, just kill me already.”
