No longer a luna

Julianne ’s pov

“I swear she's in there. She disappeared during the party and thought we wouldn't notice.”

My head was in so much pain as I weakly sat up on the bed, but I could clearly tell the voice belonged to Fiona and it was getting closer. So did footsteps.

“Julianne would never do such a thing. If it's another one of your games Fiona, I'm not interested.” Adrien’s followed next and my eyes flashed open, every hint of sleep clearing from them immediately.

However, as I moved to get out of the bed, I felt a pain searing up between my legs and from the shock of the pain, I gasped loudly.

“Julianne ?” Suddenly the door burst open , and I swung my head up to meet Adrien’s horrified eyes as they met mine.

“Adrien…” my shaky lips as they pronounce his name feel as though they want to fall apart just as every inch of my being.

“Julianne … what… what's going on?”

It was then I followed his eyes down and realized I was naked with only the sheets barely covering me up.

“See? I told you didn't I? You little so called innocent mate isn't as innocent as you think, Adrien.” With that, Fiona approached me and in seconds, she had the sheets and duvet ripped off the bed, leaving me wrapping my arms around my naked body, my face burning in shame.

The maids who were attracted to the commotion Fiona was deliberating putting up were putting their heads through the door, and the mockery and shock on their faces scared me. But no one hurt me even more than the look of anger, betrayal and hurt in Adrien’s eyes.

He looked so disappointed in me.

And to make matters worse, right there on the bed were stains of my blood, my innocence blood. And he could see it, just as anybody else in the room. It was self explanatory what had happened in this room.

I wished the ground would swallow me at that instant.

“Adrien. I can explain… “ I shake my head with tear filled eyes just as he approached me. I thought he would hear me out, be patient enough to understand me after all these years of being together, but the next moment, he held onto my wrists and I gasped as he roughly pulled me off the bed and out the room.

Just as I was dragged out, I met with Fiona’s eyes, the scornful look in her eyes was evident that she had a hand in this but without solid evidence, I couldn't pin anything on her.

“Adrien… “ I wished the ceiling would fall and crush me to death upon feeling the stares of almost everyone in the pack house as Adrien wordlessly dragged me out the mansion and outside. “Adrien please hear me out.”

I gasped as I was flung to the ground, and I braced myself as my bare skin hit the bare ground, dust rising in the air from the effort of my fall.

I was in so much pain from the fall, I felt so humiliated, especially as everyone now, the maids, the guards, some of the guests that stayed over from yesterday, basically everyone was staring at me, scrutinizing me with their loathsome eyes. But none compared to the unfamiliar look of hate and resentment in Adrien’s eyes as he stared down at me.

“I gave you everything Julianne and what more? I planned to make you my Luna. Right after my naming ceremony, I wanted to show you off to the world as mine, but you suddenly went missing last night. I didn't think much of it.. I thought you were probably overworked from planning out the event last night and decided to rest. Would I ever have imagined you'd have been in bed with… with another man.” He thundered in such a loud voice I felt my mouth open and close, unable to say anything.

It was like every inch inside of me was numb from shock and fear and I could only stare up at him. It was useless to even argue. After all, what could I say? It was clearly a set up but If I blamed Fiona, who wound believe me?

“I want nothing to do with you… you scandalous worthless Omega,” His words were as sharp as a knife, piercing me in every inch of my body as he spoke suck that it felt like my heart bled alongside his hurtful words. “I, Adrien Aston, reject you Julianne Landon as my mate.”

“Adrien!!!” I got up, not even caring about the state of my well-being and dignity, but he had already turned away and left, not even bothering to cast me another glance.

I burst into tears, already trying to follow him inside, hoping that he himself would comfort me and heal the sudden searing pain in my heart, but I was suddenly dragged hard by the scalp and found myself back on the floor.

I looked up, and the tears in my eyes were quickly wiped away as an angry express took over seeing Fiona smirking down on me.

“Aren't you ashamed of yourself? Even after what you did, you really want his forgiveness. It's clear he doesn't want to ever see you again Julianne , so leave while you're still alive!” She leaned down to my height on the floor so we could be of the same height. For a fleeting second, her canines were revealed and her evil crimson red eyes flashed right into mine threateningly. “Don't worry, I'll treat him so good, he won't ever remember he ever intended on making you his Luna.”

“He'll never make you his Luna! And you'll pay for what you did!! You'll never get away with this.” With spite, I hiss at her but she merely just smirked. She got up and backed away and all of a sudden, two guards lifted me off the ground after tossing a cloak on my body and I was whisked away almost my screaming and struggling.

“Please let me see Adrien one last time. Let me just talk to him please.” Tears cascaded down my face bitterly as I screamed and protested, but they paid no heed to me.

I sighed in defeat after a while and my struggled seemed fruitless. Why even bother. It was obvious Adrien had ordered them to throw me out. He probably didn't even want to see me much more listen to me talk.

But he was rather too quick to discard of me without hearing me out. Did he not trust me? Was it because I was an Omega? Did he truly just disregarded me as the others. But he wasn't like that. What changed?

How would I even explain to him that the man who had taken my virginity was no other person that Alpha Arthur, my mate. I had recognized him from the night before just before I served Fiona her drink, and the same night when he had come into bed with me. I couldn't tell from seeing him yo close, but his scent and they way he made me feel.

I definitely was sure it was him.

Banished from the pack, I knew the next place I had to head to. If I stayed out of a pack for more than 24 hours, I could go rogue or be their dinner and I couldn't risk it.

My heart was shattered and I felt so much bitterness and hurt, but I had to act fast.

By the time I got to the pack, the guards accosted me at the gate of their Alpha. Their expressions were cold and ridiculed with mockery seeing me.

“I'm only here to see your Alpha. It's really urgent.”

They all laughed scornfully.

“That's what they all say. Do you know how many people come in here everyday claiming they have something urgent to relay to our Alpha. He's a busy man, and is probably not available to see you right now so come back later.”

“But I'm his mate.” The expressions on their faces drop to one of shock, and knowing I had them where I wanted them, I lean forward, clasping the bars of the gates. “Tell your Alpha his mate has come to see him.”

“That's ridiculous. Are you messing with us… If our Alpha has a mate, we certainly won't be kept in the dark.”

“And you're nothing but a mere Omega. I can barely smell your wolf. So I highly doubt so.”

“Let her In.” A voice from behind the guard causes all of us to turn and I see a man, good looking and tall with short brown for hair and golden irises for eyes which protuded my own like they were searching for something.

One guard immediately starts unlocking the gate while the others fearfully how toward his direction.

“Beta Jeremy. Our mistake. We'll let her in now.”

Beta Jeremy. He looked like his brother, but I could tell he was the younger one.

As I approached him, his eyes flicked over the cloak around my body for a fleeting second before he starts walking in, a silent beckon for me to follow him.

“I'm assuming you two met last night?” He said without looking at me.

“How did .. “

“I know my brother better than anybody and he was not acting like the Arthur I knew last night. We didn't even stay till morning because he insisted we leave immediately. I knew something was up. And all of a sudden, an Omega comes claiming to be his mate. I believed you immediately for some reason.”

“Well, at least you understand me a while lot better than anyone today.” I sighed, feeling a heavy weight on my chest. It hurt so much.

Upon arriving at the door, Jeremy knocked by there was no answer. After a while, he pushed the door in, and I followed, only to be greeted with a sight of Arthur with a woman bent over his bed while he fucked her.

The sight was so painful to watch that I felt a tight pang on my heart like someone had torn it out my chest just as I staggered back with horrified eyes.

“Fuck… “ Arthur pulled away upon meeting my eyes, pushing the woman onto the bed. “What is she doing here?”

The tone of his voice already made it clear he didn't like me one bit. The resentment in his eyes was so hurtful wished I could die at that moment knowing yet again another person hated me and didn't want me.

Was I really destinied to be unloved and to die one.

“Really Arthur. You're serious screwing a woman while aware you have a mate. And I'm pretty sure you screwed her just before you insisted we leave the ceremony last night. I could smell a woman all over you Arthur. I never knew you were so heartless.” Jeremy looked really angry and disappointed

Arthur appaorched is, fully unclad without a care in the world. His eyes were the same Golden irises, but they looked like rages of fire in hell and they were directed towards us both in annoyance and anger.

“Last I checked, I never asked you to dig your nose in my business. So what if I fucked her? She's nothing but a mere useless Omega. That was my intention. To fuck her and get it over with. Did you really think I ever had any Intention of making someone like her my Luna?”

As of his words weren't hurtful enough, he turned towards me with mirth in his eyes, an evil smirk at the side of his face.

“It’s really cute that you really ran all the way from your pack to here thinking your wildest, unimaginable fantasies would be fulfilled just like that. That I would sacrifice the state of my pack, the future of my unborn heir and my dignity just to make you my Luna?” His smirk disappeared and the cold look that replaced them was so terrifying, my eyes widened as I took steps back, scared of his incoming wrath.

“You're a fucking joke.”

“I was banished.. “ It was my last resort, but I had no choice. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I avoided his eyes. “I have no where else to go.”

“If I looked like I gave a fuck If you on the verge of death right now, I would be looking like one of your parents right now, but I'm not any of them am I? Now leave.”

My heart sunk to my stomach and every iota of strength just left me so that all I felt was a sick feeling to my stomach and the urge to just die.

“Arthur this is wrong. You… “

“Another word from you Jeremy. I swear to moon goddess, another word… “ with that, he turned away and right before my eyes, climbed in bed with the woman who moaned with a chuckle as she encircled her arms around his neck as they began fucking.

I walked right out of the room, tears blinding my eyes from rage, anger, humiliation and hurt.

I heard footsteps behind me and realized Jeremy was right behind me.

“Wait… “

I want to leave, but he grabs my arm and I'm forced to look at him.

“You heard what he said. He doesn't even care if I dies. So that's what I'm going to do, because even I don't see the point of living anymore.”

“Don't say that,” Jeremy looked and acted a whole lot different from his brother that I wondered why the moon goddess would be as cruel as to give him as a mate to me instead. “You're worth love and living and Arthur is an asshole for not seeing that.”

I shrug. “It doesn't matter what anyone thinks. I don't have where to go. So what's the point? Or could I just turn rogue.”

He looked like he was thinking for a minute, before he said. “Arthur might probably kill us both if he found out, but I can make arrangements for you to live here in the pack but you won't live close to him. You'll just be a member of the pack. I'll get you a place to work, get you food and some clothes. Just the essentials you'll need to live here.”

My eyes well up with so much tears as how someone could be so kind to me without even knowing much about me.

He leaned in and grabbed my shoulders.

“You'll find a mate who will love and adore you. It's only a matter of time and you'll forget about Arthur and he will too. But you'll just have to promise to lay low while you stay here.”

I nod, too blinded my tears to see him asy vison was already clouded. I hugged him.

“Yes. Thank you, thank you so much.”
