Chapter 1- Rejection

Arianna's POV

"I didn't do anything, Raymond. Believe me, she is lying." I cried, but he didn't stop. Tears were rolling down my cheeks due to the impact of whip tearing the skin of my back.

"Raymond, don't be so harsh on her. She just tried to harm our UNBORN CHILD out of jealousy. But she is bleeding, stop now." Daniella showed fake concern, but the way she emphasized the word unborn child was enough for me to understand her real intentions.

Hits were getting even more intense because her words provoked him even more.

I kept wailing, but it didn't have any effect on him.

"Just leave her Raymond. She is good for nothing. She has this audacity just because she is Luna. She thinks so high of herself because you chose her over me. I want to leave the pack. She may harm my baby again in the future." Daniella was spating venom with a fake, scared look.

"You are not going anywhere. " Raymond said to her. My pain is invisible to him.

"She is your Luna, and I'm a mistress. Pack members will look down on my child.

"This bitch is not worth it. She doesn't deserve to be the Luna." He said while kicking my abdomen. I hissed with pain. Due to his back to back kicks, blood was coming out of my mouth.

"Are you going to reject her?" Daniella asked while smirking at me.

"Noooo, please don't. " I pleaded.

"I,Raymond Phillips, Alpha of Black Shadow Pack reject Arianna Lenoir as my mate." His words echoed in the air. Sharp pain was felt in my chest.

I screamed in pain. That burning pain inside me, I could feel my wolf in agony.

"Guards, throw her in dungeon." He ordered and left. I was thrown in a dIungeon.

"Mom, dad, save me." I cried. I tried my level best to ease the pain, but my wolf is so weak after rejection.

'Aurora, are you alright?' I mindlinked with my wolf.

'I told you he doesn't love us, but you believed he will change. Look what he did to us.' She said.

'But Fang loved you.' I said referring to Raymond's wolf.

'Fang can't control Raymond all the time. And Fang never took a stand for us. I never saw him fighting for us. He doesn't love us either. '

'Only if I were good enough, Raymond wouldn't have rejected us. You wouldn't have lost your mate Fang either.' I cried.

'Shut up. Raymond and Fang are not good enough. You are perfect. You are important to me.' She scolded me.

I know getting rejected by my mate is very tough for a wolf. Aurora is hurt, but she is trying to be strong for me.

'Stop overthinking. I can hear your thoughts. You need to stop crying and be strong. Get out of this hell. YOU DON'T DESERVE TO SUFFER HERE.' She said.

'I want to go back to dad. But I can't find a way to get out of here.' I said.

Someone unlocked the dungeon room. A female figure appeared from the dark.

"I know you want to get out of here. I can help you out." She said. It's Daniella.

'What does this bitch want now? Give me control, and I'll rip her head off.' Aurora growled.

'Calm down, wolfie.'

"Why would you help? Aren't you the one behind all this mess." I said bitterly.

"I want you out of this pack as much as you want to escape. I wanted Raymond to throw you out of the pack. But he sent you here instead. As much as I would love to torture you here, I can't stand my boyfriend's ex mate here." She said with a wicked look.

"Tell Raymond to send me back . I also don't wanna stay here." I said.

"As if he would do that. You need escape and run away." She said.

"But the other wolves will hunt me down if I try to do that." I said.

"Don't worry, Raymond is going to the pack in West for some business deal. In his absence, my loyal wolves will help you to get out of here." She said.

"How can I trust you?" I said suspiciously.

She laughed, "As if you have any other choice."

After she left, Aurora said, 'Are you really believing that snake?'

'We don't have any choice. Either we accept her help or stay here.'I replied.

'Just be careful. I don't believe her. ' Aurora said.

I fell asleep while talking to Aurora. The next day, I woke up when someone poured a pail of water on me.

"What the hell." I cursed.

"Wake up sleeping beauty. " This husky voice sent shivers down my skin.

"Why are you here, Raymond?" I asked.

"That's not the way to talk to your mate. " He said.

"Ex mate." I said sarcastically.

"Don't you dare to use that tone with me bitch." He slapped me across my face.

"Just wait until I come back from my trip. I'll show you who I am. I'll make you mine completely. " He said while touching my butt inappropriately.

'Is he threatening to rape us?' Aurora is coming on the surface.

'Calm down, Aurora. '

"I see Aurora is trying to come out. Tell her that Fang is waiting to taste her." I disgusted at his sentence.

I burst into tears after he left. I trusted him a lot. Loved him with all my heart and soul, but all I get is pain. I cried for hours until there was no tear left in my eyes.

"Luna Daniella has asked to help you escape. " The wolf said. I chuckled at the word 'Luna Daniella'.

"Let's go." I said.

"You won't go like this." He shook his head.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

Someone covered my face with a black cloth.

"What the hell are you doing?" I shouted.

Someone tied my hands and legs.

'I told you, don't trust that bitch. She had applied wolfsban on the ropes. I can't take charge.' Aurora is getting weak.
