Chapter four (Betrayal)

Juliana's Pov: 

"Luna," I muttered, with eyes full of tears and pain. I watch my best friend more as my sister walks through the crowd like a queen with a smile plastered on her face. This is the girl that I can kill and even die for, the crowds make space for her as she strolls toward us. Reaching in front of Lucien, they twisted their fingers together as she spared no glance at me.

"I am truly honored to announce to you, Juliet smith as my chosen mate and future Luna," Lucien declared openly with a sheepish smile that I have never seen. The crowd raved and screamed in happiness and surprise, I  was left there like the cause that I was called. 

"And I am truly honored to be your luna unlike some pathetic fools," she spits mockery at me. With tingling tears, I stared at her.

"What a surprise…." She laughed out loud as she rubbernecked at my shocked face. My heart felt heavy as my throat burned with bitterness, I felt betrayed and unloved. Their laughter kept echoing the whole place as I allowed my emotions to surpass me.

"Haa!....." I screamed in agony as the whole place was found wiggling, hitting my hand on the floor, a thunderous sound was heard from the cloud. As a drop of tears trailed down my face, a huge force was seen carrying Juliet and smashing her head to the ground.

Whispers were heard, and cries and fear swung around the whole place. People were screaming as they tried to find their way out but the lightning striking wasn't helping the situation either, they screamed as some cried out for help. My eyes dangerously turned dark red instead of the crystal blue color, smoke was found radiating out of my body, and my whole body turned white as my teeth elongated. My hands were wriggling as fire coiled in a ball form was seen emitting out of it. 

Standing up with precarious steps I walk toward Lucien who was busy trying to bring Juliet back to life as she was lying unconscious on the floor. My anger boiled with them adjoined as my nose glowed reddish, emitting smoke from it. 

"No!!...... The frightened crowds shouted as my transformation horrified them to the core. The scream got Lucien's attention as he noticed my hazardous walking towards him, and with speed, he fell quickly to the ground. He looked terrified as his body shivered in fear, he tried crawling away but my cold eye held him in one place. He was shuddering and looked horrified.

"No!!.....haa!!.." He cried out in fear as hot tears were trailing down his body. His clothes were drenched with his sweat and urine. I matched him like a hungry lion ready to devour his prey, the whole people there were trembling, they thought it was their end.

Yes….this is the mysterious power, the main reason I was termed a curse. The reason behind the death of my mother, based on what the rumors said, is the power that I can't seem to control no matter what, instead of me controlling it, it controls me. It does the opposite, I so much hate this curse of a gift it makes me do things that I will regret.

"Please…. I am pleading…. Juliana," Lucien pleaded with quivering lips.

"I am……I am so sorry, I couldn't have hurt you, Juliana," he continues pleading with tears tingling in his eyes. Nobody dares to come close to me or save him, even his so-called beta, gamma, and warriors. I glanced at the whole place, and my eye connected to Juliet who was recovering from her state of unconsciousness. I started strolling towards her, and slowly opening her eyes, she hastily flung and screams in shock. She tries running to Lucien who hurls daggers her way, shrinking back in fear as she closes her eyes and waits for the worse.  

"Julia….please," she pleads as she called me my nickname, the name she gave to me when we were bonding, my anger subsidized and my heart melts but when I thought back to that she was busy having an affair with my mate when I was been loyal to her when I took her as my blood!! My anger fumes. Tremendous power erupts from me, I raised my hand in the air and struck the lighting in her direction but she quickly dodged it. It was a minor escape, for if she wasn't fast enough, she could have been dead. My emotions were building up fast within my body, it was getting more strong with each passing minute. I wasn't myself, my vision was blurry and I allowed my anger to control me.

Noticing that my attention was on Juliet, Lucien tried to run out, he strived to escape but my long pink hair moved towards him and swaddled him as it flung him around the empty air with his cry and screaming and reverberating the whole place. After some hours of tossing him around, with him feeling dizzy, it untangled him. Falling to the ground, the lighting collides with his leg.

"No!!!... His cry was heard in the whole place as one of his legs was burnt out of his body, he plops there sobbing and yelling for mercy with one of his legs chopped off. 

" Haa…please," Juliet screamed with a terrified face, she was shaking as tears were running down her face, and her makeup had already been ruined. Her once beautiful clothes looked shattered and unkempt. 

"Kill!!.... Kill!!.... Kill!!.." That was what was chanting in my head. I glanced at the whole pack, those that laughed at me, how Lucien humiliated me in front of the whole pack and chose my best friend as my replacement.

"Why am I always replaced?" I sobbed, the more I hurt the more power radiated from my body. After all his cunning love and promises, he finally left me for my best friend. 

After professing his undying love to me, he later found my replacement.

 He pushed me away like I was nothing, he rejected me like I wasn't enough. After running his dirty hands on my body, he trashes me like a weightless being, he dumped me like the moon goddess made a mistake.

It wasn't my fault that I was born like this, I didn't choose my fate because I know if I was to choose, I did choose a different fate cause this is a curse to me!! 

I  know I won't find another mate, this is my last chance mate. I will leave alone in this terrifying world, merely thinking of staying alone and leaving a rejected life wounds my heart. It breaks my soul. The emotion within was too much for me to handle.

"Haaa!!!...." I cried out as I fell to the floor unconscious.
