HER HEART MY TREASURE

CHAPTER 1 BROKEN HOPE

Muna’s POV

My heart was beating too fast, and it felt like I would fall face flat anytime soon. I could hear everyone’s voice in my head. Some people were screaming at me to leave the place and save myself from shame, while some were making fun of me. One of the onlookers even threw his leftover chicken bone at me.

“You are just an unlucky and pathetic muna, and I cannot be with you. I reject you and I will do it over and over again. You are a weak omega with no wolf. I regret ever promising you marriage!” My mate bellowed at me again, he repeated his rejection for the fifth time.

Probably waiting for some type of hysterical

Reaction from me but I stood there frozen and mute like a statue, the shock was overwhelming, and my brain wasn’t processing any reaction, until I tried to open my mouth to respond.

“We, we just met a few weeks ago, on my eighteenth birthday, and we’ve been planning our wedding, everyone knows,” the last statement was meant for the onlookers. Of course, they know. Even though my voice sounded hoarse and strained, I knew they heard me.

The music blasting from the speaker had stopped and everyone was looking at the unfolding drama. My eyes met with my sister and I quickly looked away. The look of triumph and happiness on her face was causing my heart more harm. Just like usual, she won again!

We are both orphans, and we live in this pack; Queso pack in. Tuska village. Nobody likes me because Sofia made sure to ruin my reputation every day and everywhere every day. I’m not sure. According to the story I heard, my late mother, who was a birthing specialist, adopted her. Our mother died when we were very young.

“I’m in love with a better she-wolf, and you know her, we all know her,” he threw his second statement to the other pack members who had come to the party.

My teary stare met Talia. Just yesterday she came to our house and was talking excitedly with Sofia all day. Their giggles and loud laughter were disturbing my studies. If I had known they were discussing how to humiliate me today, I wouldn’t have agreed to Talia's invitation.

“I told you I would frustrate you until you didn’t want to live anymore, didn’t I? Talia is better than you, hence she deserves Alpha Boris!” Sofia’s voice hit my ear. I didn’t know when she got close to my ear, she hissed at me and brushed past me, almost tripling me over.

My eyes fell on Talia, snuggling into my mate's arm; Alpha Boris, who I thought would be the love of my life, kissed Talia deeply, to my bewilderment, loud cheers and claps filled the whole hall, people hailing him and clapping for them.

I shook my head in disbelief and moved away slowly from them, with my back. I didn’t want them to see how much they had broken my spirit, trying so much to hold my tears in.

“Don’t go yet, loser!. Listen to him, I intentionally crawled into your life in order to steal him away from you. He’s mine now! Thanks to Sofia who helped me and made it easy,” Talia snarled at me, publicly agreeing to the fact that she stole my mate from me.

But as expected, my mate stood there behind her beaming like a fool. I stood there with my right hand in her grasp and wondered how I ever allowed myself to be fooled again.

“Are you really going to stand there and believe all they told you about me? You know too well that I’m not wayward, and I will never hurt you, I’m not a p********e,” I finally found my voice, but it was very shaky. The threatening tears kept dropping like warm water from my red eye.

“And who told you I cared about what I heard about you? Just take a look at your pathetic self. I’m a prince and the Alpha of this pack! Muna, you are in no way my league. Take a look at Tahlia. Her father is a well-known chief in his pack, and yet she left there to be with me here! My decision is to reject you and nobody dares ask me why! Not even you,” he jerked my arm away from Talia and squeezed it in his.

Forcing a pained cry from me, my loud wail mixed with the onlookers and laughter. Some actually had pitiful stares on their faces.

“She’s a wretched being, just send her away from here and let her go, she doesn’t deserve to be in your pack, let alone your presence, my Alpha!” My sister told him, her shrill voice filled with venom and hatred.

I had stopped wondering why she didn’t like me long ago, after trying to no avail to win her love and affection for many years, I bowed my head to accept whatever judgment my mate wanted to pass on me, hoping that he would only send me out of the pack and not make me a rogue.

“Take her to prison!! She will spend days there before I allow her to serve me as a maid in my pack house and estate,” my mate's voice boomed into the air, silencing the murmurs and clamor.

“A maid? Prison? What are you talking about?” Talia waned, her eyes brimming with confusion and curiosity. I could have asked him too if I wasn’t too scared that he would slap me, why does he still want me in the pack? A minute ago he called me bad luck!.

“I would have thrown you as a slave to the aisle pack- but even that will not justify how much I hate you!” He continued to blare at me, ignoring the question totally.

I sighed inwardly and kept my head bowing. I didn’t want to annoy Alpha Boris to the extent of him sending me to the aisle pack. That place is our rival pack, and they would tear my skin off my bones in seconds. They hate us so much and Alpha Boris also hates them, hates us stories about how and why we should loathe them as well.

The hatred and war was birthed generations back, when Alpha Boris' father and Alpha Fredolf's father took the reins and continued. We really don’t know the reason, not even Alpha Fredolf or Alpha Boris.

“Take her away and don’t give her any food or water until I say so,” I heard his voice again, still not daring to look up.

The hard hands of his guards dragged me like a chicken going to be slaughtered away from the party toward the prison where I would become a prisoner.

“Your life is just so sad. The Alpha has asked us to place you in the same place where he keeps ladies prisoners who get r***d by guards. He’s not even interested in making you a concubine or mistress. You will be given to guards like us to enter your inner thigh and have you as we so wish,” one of the fat and annoying looking guards informed me, his eyes carasing my butt like a hungry lion.

I saw the other two guards inhale deeply, their eyes filled with lust and another dirty intention. I don’t know what they had in mind, but I know

For sure, it’s not going to favor me in any way.
