SERENA'S POV"Argh!" I screamed, not loud enough to cause an alarm thoughJake was at it again, with someone else, it seemed he was doing it on purpose this time, cause I could feel how excited he wasThe pain ceased for sometime, and I sat up rightJust as I was about to stand up and go look for him, another wave of pain hit me again and I fell to the groundHot tears rolled down my cheeks as I remembered the day I found out Jake was my mateI was overjoyed,and so was he. He loved me so much and treated me with utmost care and respectNot until, I couldn't birth him an heir, we tried all possible ways, visited all the powerful witches but all was in vainThe thought of how nice he treated me then and now got me crying harder, he had changed a lotHe goes sleeping around with different women,.making me suffer the consequencesA fresh wave of pain hit me again, and then I had it all. I was done being a wife and Luna to the people, while a punching bag and trash to my very own mate, I was done suffering for someone who didn't careI Made up my mind to leave, and as soon as the pain ceased, I began packing my belongings*****Before I could open the door, it flung open to reveal Jake"Cursed witch, where are you headed with all these" he asked gesturing at my stuff"For the last time Jake, I am not a witch, neither am I cursed" I said , defending myself from the nickname he gave to me "Oh shut up! Like you'd ever admit it" "That aside, you know what I just found out?""What?" I asked, looking at him confusedly"I found out, that you bewitched me bitch, you were never my mate, and that's why, you can't conceive a baby" he sounded so cold that tears ran down my cheeksHow could he of all people say such a thing"Jake! What is wrong with you? How dare you say such a thing to me? I am not even a witch, how could I...." He didn't let me finish. I wanted to slap him real hard, but it would only amount to me being injured and that was the last thing I wanted to happen"You mustn't be one before you can bewitch me, they are your friends aren't they?" He said, sternly, maintaining eye contact with me All I did was sigh in frustration, I didn't know what to say to him, even if I wanted to say something"Well, I would be leaving, you'll be free now from whatever 'spell' I casted upon you" I announced, making sure to stress out the word 'spell'. "Hm! So that explains this?" He scoffed, wearing a blank expression on his face, like I didn't just say I was leaving for good. I had never felt so worthless in my life as I did that moment"It's getting very late...." He was saying, but I cut in, did he really think anything he said right now could stop me from leaving? "Don't worry about me, I'll be fine, and also know that no matter what you say or do, can not stop me from leaving " I said, and then grabbed my suitcaseJake just stood there staring at me with a confused expression, and suddenly, he bursted out laughing"I wasn't going to ask you to stay, all I wanted to say was that you should be on your way now, since it is getting late. Oh! Were you expecting me to beg you? You thought I would try talking you into not leaving? That's pathetic Serena, you among everyone should know me better. As a matter of fact, I am very delighted that you have finally decided to leave dear wife" who was this heartless man? Where was the man I got mated to?These thoughts ran through my mind that my sight became blurry, but I didn't give in to the tears, I was done letting him make me feel like trash, he would never see me cry, ever againBut my cheeks burned tomato red in embarrassment, and he was right, it was pathetic of me"Whatever" I said, trying to make it sound very natural, in order to show him that I didn't care, but my shaky voice failed me. Anyway, I reached for the door "Wait!" His voice pulled me to a stop and I turned to look at him"Hope you do not intend to come back here? I mean, hope you're going for good, cause you won't be welcomed here any longer" he said anticipating for my answer, and ready to mock me, but I wasn't going to let himI sighed heavily, I had been enduring his unjust actions towards me for a very long time now, cause I felt I deserved it, but now I was going to stand up for myself and do what was necessary "I Serena Harvard, reject you, Jake Rodriguez As my mate" I declared and I felt a sharp pain on my chest, he also clenched on his chest, he also felt the sharp pain signaling that a part of our bond was brokenI could see rage, anger and disbelief burning in his eyes, he didn't expect me to reject him"Well, I Jake Rodriguez, Alpha of The Greenwood Pack, accept your rejection and denounce you, Serena Harvard, as my mate and Luna of this Pack" he declared also, and we winced in pain again, signaling that the bond between us was finally brokenAfter the pain subsided, I turned to leave"Lest I forget, you're banned from this pack, so don't even think of settling at your parent's" What the flying fuck! I turned sharply towards his direction"You can't do this to me Jake, where do I go?" I asked, not expecting any reply though"How should that be my problem? You're now a rogue, so get going" He said, nonchalantly"Is that how much hatred you have for me? I could get ki..." I was saying but he didn't even let me finish"Tsk! You could get killed, for all I care" he said, and I just starred at him in utter disbelief'Who is this man?' I asked myself"Whoever kills you, would be doing you and the entire world a favor, because you're useless. Who knows, maybe you're badly needed in the land of the spirits, you never know" he said on and on with a shrug and I couldn't help but shed tearsI went out of the bedroom and banged the door out of angerOn my way through the hall way, uncontrollable tears rolled down my cheeksI had momurings from the maids and guards some pitied my life and others made morcrey of itThere wasn't any need to say anything to them, so I just left, in pain anger and embarrassment******"Oh! Look who has been banned from the pack, such a big misfortune, where does she intend to go now?" The voice of Clarissa pulled my attentionMaybe I was really cursed , cause I couldn't understand why my very own sister would be happy to see me leaving through the pack's boundary with luggagesShe couldn't even ask where I was headed"How did you know I was banned? Cause the last time I checked, no member of the pack is aware of that" I asked"Oh no! She isn't aware?" She asked, feigning surprise"Did the moon goddess sieze your mate linking ability? Oh I forgot, he is not your real mate. Well, In the next two days I would be announced as the new Luna of this Pack, little sister" Moon goddess, take my life now, why is this happening to me of all the people in the worldMy mouth opened and closed severally but no words came out"This came as a shock to you? Oh I'm so sorry hun, I thought you already knew I was the one Jake has been spending time with all these while" she said with a smirk curved on her lips"Wait! What! Cla... Clarissa, you're my sister for...." I was saying but she cut me off"We both know you bewitched Jake, I mean you've always wanted to be his mate, even before you turned eighteen, you were all over him, and knowing you, you would do anything just to....." She didn't complete her statement as my palm landed firmly on her cheeks"You're a disgrace to our family, I thought you were raised better, you would regret this Clarissa, I promise you that" I said in tears"Jake would also regret this, the entire pack will regret this, I curse the day I became Luna of this Pack, I curse you all, you will definitely regret doing this to me" I continued in a yell with uncontrollable tears rolling down my cheeks"Hm! Pathetic Loser" Clarissa said, and the next minute, I saw myself in the airClarissa pushed me off the cliff, I tried to wolf out, but my emotions got the better of me and the last thing I saw was the pointed branch of a tree, then I blacked outChapter Thirty Nine First Person Perspective Jake I was sitting on the big chair near the fire. Alpha Robert was beside me. He was drinking from his silver cup, laughing. I laughed too. His guards stood by the door, silent. The room was warm, and outside it was dark and cold. “You saw his face?” Alpha Robert said with a loud laugh. “He looked like a scared rabbit!” I laughed harder. “He really thought he could escape!” We clinked our cups together. It was fun to watch that fool try to run with his little family. He didn’t even make it far. He got caught right at the edge of the forest. Robert shook his head, grinning. “And did you see the look on the Serena’s face? That was—” “Priceless!” I finished for him. We both laughed again. It felt good. I hadn’t laughed like this in days. But then something started to bother me. I rubbed my chin and looked into the fire. “Hmm…” I said. “What?” Robert asked. I sat up straighter. “That man… Jeremy… something is not ri
Chapter Thirty Eight First Person’s Perspective Reed I sat in the corner of my dark, cold cell. The floor was hard under me. The walls smelled like mold and old water. The air was damp. My body still hurt. My back burned from the whip. Every move made it worse. My hands were full of cuts and dried blood. But I did not care. Serena and Liam were alive. Caleb said they were near the north border. That meant I had a chance. A real chance. I could get them back. I could hold my son again. I could tell Serena that I never gave up. I closed my eyes. Just two more nights. Then I run. Then I fight. Then I take them back. No matter what happens. I don’t care if I die. I opened my eyes and looked at the food in front of me. Old bread. Cold meat. It smelled bad. Like it had been there for days. I didn’t eat it. I needed to stay sharp. If I got sick now, I would lose everything. I pushed the plate away. The next day, I acted weak. I walked slowly. I let my shoulders hang
Chapter Thirty Seven — Not Broken Yet Dual POV: Serena and Jeremy Serena The wagon stopped. The wheels creaked as they came to a halt, grinding against the dry earth. Dust floated into the air, dancing in the sunlight that filtered through the tiny holes in the wooden walls of the wagon. The sudden silence was worse than the rattling noise we had heard all morning. I held Liam’s hand tighter, even though my wrists were tied. The rope had rubbed the skin raw. My arms ached from holding onto him, but I refused to let go. I couldn’t. The door opened with a loud metal clang. A guard climbed up and yanked me by the arm. I stumbled, my feet barely catching the step before I hit the ground. Liam jumped down right behind me. He didn’t cry, but his little face was pale, his lips pressed into a tight line. The sun hit my eyes. For a moment, I blinked against the bright light. It felt too warm, too peaceful, for what we were walking into. Then I saw it. A big
Chapter Thirty Six — The Old Cell Reed My eyes opened slowly. My head hurt. My chest burned. My body felt like it had been crushed under a mountain. Everything felt broken,like I had been hit by a truck again and again. The first thing I saw was the wall. The same grey wall. Cold stone. Rough and cracked in places. The same corner I had stared at once, long ago, when I was younger. Then I knew. I had been here before. The cell was small. There was no bed, no chair, no blanket. Only hard ground. The walls were damp with wetness, like they cried in silence. The air smelled bad,like blood, sweat, and pain that had stayed too long. There were chains hanging from one side of the wall, rusted and sharp. A small window near the top let in weak light, but it wasn’t enough. That window was too small to crawl through, no matter how desperate someone got. This was the prison under the old Dark Heart barracks I knew it well. Too well. I groaned as I tried to sit up. My bac
Chapter Thirty Five — Peace Never Lasts Serena “Mommy.” He was not just calling out to me, he was crying. It was a call for help. A sound full of fear. A sound no mother wants to hear. I opened my eyes fast. My heart was beating so hard. I jumped to my feet, grabbed the thin blanket off my legs, and ran out of the small shelter we had built with sticks and cloth. “Liam!” I shouted. “What happened?” He was standing just outside. His little face was pale. His eyes were wide with fear. He pointed with a shaking hand. “Men… so many men,” he whispered. “They came from the woods.” My heart stopped. I couldn’t breathe for a second. Jeremy was already outside. He had heard Liam too. He stood in front of us now, growling low. His hands were shaking but strong. He looked into the trees. Then I saw him. Jake. He stepped out from the shadows like a nightmare. His eyes were cold. His face was tight with anger. He stood tall and proud, like he owned the world. Behind him
Chapter Twenty Four Third Person’s Perspective The door slammed behind Jake as he walked out into the cold rain, an evil smile tugged at his lips “Soon, Serena, very soon” Inside the quiet house, miles away, Serena shifted on the bed, holding her stomach. Her breath was uneven, her hands trembling as another sharp pain shot through her lower belly. She had been feeling strange all day,tightness, pressure, something she couldn’t explain. But now… it was worse. “Jeremy?” she called out softly. Her voice was weak. Jeremy walked into the room holding a plate of rice and chicken. “You didn’t eat lunch. Try something now. Just a little.” Serena shook her head. “I… I don’t feel good.” She closed her eyes. “My stomach… it hurts. Bad.” Jeremy put the plate down fast. “What kind of pain? Like cramps?” She nodded slowly. “But stronger… deeper. Like the baby’s trying to come out.” Jeremy’s heart jumped. He stepped closer. “That’s not possible. You’re only eight months. One m
