I stared deeply into his eyes, hoping he had stopped me if he had regretted it, but nothing, just an empty void. "My dignity is most respected and that of my child Raph...Raphael..." "It's Alpha Raphael to you now; if I were you, I wouldn't cross me" He gritted his teeth, and I found myself swallowing hard. "Ok. Alpha Raphael Pascal, I reject you as my mate and Alpha, I'll be there by address you informally and by your name. I shall hold no connection to this pack, to its members, nor you. I hereby free you from this hideous bond to mate with whoever you see fit and make them your Luna" I bit down on my lips, tryna stop the tears from spilling out, my grip tightening on my dress as I felt my legs wobbling from intense pain. But above all, I waited for him to get back to his senses, to ask me to stay, to apologize... "I Alpha Raphael Pascal hereby banish you from this pack and never want to see you anywhere near me or my pack also accept your rejection, you now seize to be my mate" Almost immediately, a gush of pain washed over me, and my legs gave way. I expected Raphael to save me from falling, but he only stood there watching me. My instinct kicked in, and I grabbed onto the desk, trying to steady myself as the tears I was tryna hold in slid down my cheeks. Immediately, I darted outside, running as fast as my legs could carry. I hate you...I wanted to, but it was clear: I loved you, I loved the wrong one.
