Lies

Aurora's POV

"No" I screamed out loud at Sebastian who had his arms wrapped around mine firmly, his nails dug into my hand making it sip out blood. 

"You cannot do this to me, not now, please" I pleaded with him to have a change of mind, this cannot be happening to me, not now. 

" I Sebastian Tala of the red moon pack rejects you Aurora as my mate, you are just a weak human and I need someone who would be able to fight with me in battles just like my mother did with my father,"

I shook my head, refusing to listen to what he was saying, there was no way I was going to accept what he had just said. 

I was his rightful mate, his Luna. I was supposed to be by his side at all times but now, I was being discarded like a piece of trash and it hurt.

"I will learn, I am ready to learn just so I can fight by your side, please" I pleaded with him while trying to fight back the torrent of tears that threatened to slip down my cheek. 

"Sebastian please, have a second thought about this and then we can talk about this, not now, not when you are soon to be Alpha, you will need me by your side," I tried cajoling him to see reasons with me. 

Sebastian had pulled me away from his friends and ordered me to come along with him and I could hear them cheering at the door for him, in such a way that broke my heart. 

I had thought they liked me, I did all that I was asked to do, even when I wasn't supposed to just because of the love I had for Sebastian.

"You promised me,'' I glared at him, pulling his arm away from mine when I noticed that he wasn't going to have a change of heart. 

"You promised not to hurt me, Sebastian, you told me I was all you needed and no one else, you told me I was enough in my human form, why then are you having a change of heart?" 

" You must have been so stupid to think that I will live the rest of my life with a weak human like you, you aren't even worth my affection and I had to do it because of my father and yours" he spat out harshly at me. 

I took a step backward, as his word resonated in my ear, piercing through my heart, the very one that I had given him, shattering it into pieces.

" You never loved me?" Sebastian's lips curved into a smirk as he glanced at me. 

"Have you taken a proper look at yourself in the mirror? I detest you Aurora, you do, now get out of my life," he pointed in the direction of the door to me. 

"Sebastian please" the tears which I had been holding, flowed down my cheek, ceaselessly, they couldn't stop, no matter how hard I tried to make them stop. 

"Go and die Aurora, that is what you deserve, Aurora," his voice was higher than the last and it made me shudder when I realized how much he hated me.  

I glanced at Sebastian with regret flowing through me. I had given it all to him, my heart, my body, my soul but now I was thrown to the wolves by the same person who I had given my all. 

I turned on my heel and pulled the door open, running out of it, far away from Sebastian, far away to a place where I wouldn't see him ever again.

"Aurora," Karen, one of his friends, called out my name as I ran past him but I wasn't ready to listen to whatever it was that he had to say. 

I ran as fast as my legs could carry me out of the pack, the full moon will be approaching soon and it was celebrated hugely in the Red Moon Pack and I knew that no one would notice my absence. 

I ran swiftly toward my parent's house. I needed to inform them of what had happened and ask them again when my wolf was going to appear.

I was past eighteen already but still, I had no wolf and I was being humiliated by everyone around me, everyone kept taunting me endlessly.

I didn't mind the glances that I was receiving as I ran with all my might on the pavement heading home, not stopping to catch my breath. 

"Mother" I screamed out as I pushed the gate, but my voice came out as a whisper, my voice was hoarse already from crying. 

"I cannot lie to her, you know she is a human and she has been going through so much pain because of that, why don't we tell her the truth?" I heard my mum's voice from outside as I placed my hands on the knob attempting to push it open. 

"Darling you cannot do that, we made a promise not to let her know, so why this sudden change of mind?" 

" I cannot do this anymore Alexis, the pain on her face when she sees her mates turn into wolves hurt me, I do not think we are being fair here, she deserves to know the truth" her voice came through again.

" But you promised not to, since the day we picked her up by the wayside, we made a promise, do not break our daughter in such a way, please" I heard my father plead. 

I took a step backward, releasing my grip from the doorknob, I let the tears cascade down my face, my parents had lied to me continuously.

They had looked into my eyes and lied to me, they have hurt me in ways that I never knew was possible.

"How could they?" I wondered out loud to myself while rubbing slightly on my chest that ached, because of the truth that I had found. 

My feet were clumsy as they found their way to the gate, my heart heaved fast against my chest, beating continuously. 

Everyone was right, I deserved to die, my parents had lied to me, they had looked me straight in the eyes for the past twenty years and told me lies. 

They kept giving me hope even when there was none and it hurt, it hurt because I would have lived better if I had known I wasn't a wolf. 

"Have you taken a proper look in the mirror?" Sebastian's words came to my memory, making me chuckle. He had hurt me. 

I ran a hand through my hair, frustrated, my heart seemed to be bleeding and I wished that I would be able to pull it out but I knew it wasn't possible. 

I ran far into the bush, the same bush I have stood watching others change into wolves underneath the full moon and I wished to be like them. 

"Mother, father, why? How could you break me in such a way?" I screamed out loud, and my voice echoed across the forest, so that anyone could hear the pain in them.

It was still and I knew the path like the back of my palm, I made my way to the cliff standing at the edges. 

It was best I leave the lives of everyone who was around me, they would leave a better life without me beside them. 

I pulled off the jacket I had been given for my eighteenth birthday by Sebastian and my shoe, before glancing at the full moon. 

I glanced at the raving water and I clenched my fist tightly as I pushed myself forward welcoming the peace I was going to feel afterward.
