THE LUNA'S REBELLION

A Bittersweet Feeling.

Olivia POV.

Elder Richard stood and addressed his fellow Elders

"Behold, the right Luna of this pack has arrived!" He proclaimed aloud, his face beaming with smiles.

My shocked eyes followed Bianca's movement as she stepped forward and bowed her head, the picture of poise and respect.

Wait…she…

My jaw dropped. No, it couldn't be…

When Bianca glanced up, our eyes met, and I saw her lip curled in a silent sneer before she rolled her eyes.

I felt my cheeks flush hot at the insult.

"Bianca, how could you do this to me?" The words came out as a rasp, barely louder than a breath.

My legs wobbled, threatening to give way as cold gripped my body.

Bianca sauntered closer, her eyes glittering with contempt.

"Is it my fault that you cheated on him?" She snarled.

"You should be ashamed of yourself, Olivia.

Even if you are his true Luna, you can't keep yourself well!"

I shook my head, numb disbelief slowing my thoughts. "I never...we were sisters."

"Sisters?" Bianca spat. "You were unworthy of the position from the start. An empty vessel that could provide no heir. I'm his true Luna, dumbass!"

Her words cut deep as I struggled to hold her harsh gaze, my insides screaming.

As Bianca held her gaze with mine, I saw a glimmer in her eyes.

It was a smug gaze that sent a chill through my spine. Suddenly, the pieces fell into place…

Bianca was the one who planned it all!

She wanted to take him away from me, so she fabricated the pictures, and she succeeded.

I never knew that she had always been jealous of me.

My breath caught in my throat as Bianca reached out and held Dylan's hand, positioning herself next to him.

Tears filled my eyes once more, but I could barely utter a word. This was it.

My life was done, right in front of me!

Dylan stood up and came closer to me, extending his hands.

I felt his warm palms gently holding my cheeks.

It felt as though he was trying to apologize.

He wanted me to comprehend something, even though the hurt from his betrayal was too deep for words.

I looked into his eyes, searching for the tBianca that I already knew was gone.

My shoulders slumped in defeat. Bianca had taken everything, and this was merely Dylan tying up loose ends, not seeking forgiveness.

"I don't want you to blame Bianca for anything because she is my true fated mate, and I can't do without her.

I stopped loving you when I found out that you are unable to have children, and since then I have been with Bianca.

I almost regretted it, but you cheated on me?" he said in a calm but angry tone, without even considering how his words would hurt me.

"Let's get a divorce!" he ordered, his voice sharp and precise.

I stumbled back, holding the edge of a pillar to keep myself standing.

This couldn't be real, our love couldn't come to an end, not like this!

I never knew a day like this would come when we would discuss divorce.

More tears fell from my eyes as I tried to wipe them away.

But Dylan had already turned away from me and started holding Bianca's hands.

I lifted my gaze and saw Bianca, adorned in my jewelry and Dylan caressing her, both looking very happy about my misfortune.

I couldn't believe this was the same Bianca I knew.

Memories came rushing back.

We've been friends since childhood.

She was like the badass young mistress of her wealthy family, while I was the poor orphan from the orphanage home of the pack.

From the moment Bianca came to the orphanage and held my hand, I knew we had a special bond that was stronger than family.

As kids, we shared things, gave each other advice, and worked things out together to the point that people saw us as sisters or twins.

Even though Bianca came from a wealthy family, she chose to be with me.

We faced every obstacle together: my struggles to afford my tuition, and her parent's disapproval of our friendship.

When I started working in the pack as a servant to pay for high school, I couldn't help but feel my heart race every time I saw Dylan.

Later, when we found out we were mates and Bianca was studying abroad, he fell in love with me.

Finally, my dreams had come true! We got married, and a year into our marriage, Bianca suddenly came back.

I never thought her return would lead to something like this!

Bianca's betrayal hurts the most.

It was a wound that will never fully heal.

The heat of anger boiled up inside me as I stormed towards her.

Bianca stood between us, a hand protectively resting on her belly.

As I lunged forward to grab her, Dylan moved with lightning speed and caught my wrists in an iron grip before I could lay a finger on her.

"Let me go!" I screamed, struggling against his hold.

But his strength was too much. With a twist and shove, he threw me to the ground.

My knees slammed into the hard floor as Bianca dashed to Dylan's side.

"Darling, she tried to hurt me and your child," Bianca whimpered, caressing her stomach.

My eyes went wide. Child? Was Bianca...pregnant?

"Oh my…"

"This woman needs to be banished from the pack!" Elder Richard’s voice boomed, shaking me from my daze.

"How could she try to harm our Luna and the heir to the pack? She knew she was pregnant, so she wanted to kill the child!" He yelled in anger, slamming his hands on the table, causing me to flinch.

In their chairs, the other elders muttered in agreement, shooting daggers at me with their eyes while pointing accusing fingers at me.

No…That wasn't…" I shrank under their harsh glares, overcome with shame.

When I looked at Bianca again, crocodile tears streamed down her cheeks as she nuzzled into Dylan's chest.

It was obvious who they all believed.

My hands trembled with rage when I stared at Dylan.

My so-called husband who had been sleeping with my 'best friend' behind my back, offered lame excuses, and to make matters worse, he got her pregnant.

What hurt me even more was the fact that all the elders were on their side.

I couldn't blame them anyway, Dylan was their Alpha, and they were concerned about him.

It's just that no one seemed to give a damn about me.

I took a breath to steady myself, standing to my feet.

"Bring the divorce papers. I will sign them and leave this place right this minute," I said, wiping away my tears.

Dylan's eyes widened in shock.

He never expected me to have the courage and say what I just said.

Did he think I would stand and watch all this nonsense? No way.

"Hand over the papers to me," he ordered.

An elder stood up with the papers in front of him, walked over to him, and handed them to him.

He looked at me, shook his head, and then returned to his seat.

He thrust the papers at me. With shaky hands, I collected them and searched for the areas that requested my signature and signed on them.

I refused to let them see me break.

As I handed the papers back, I lifted my chin high and held Dylan's stare until he looked away in shame.

"I, Olivia Donald reject you, Alpha Dylan as my mate and cut ties with Moonfall Pack" I recited the rejection rites as he scoffed.

"I gladly accept your rejection, you can leave now.

Consider yourself exiled from this pack.

Never show your face here again!" Dylan roared, his eyes flashing with cold fury.

Without another word, I turned on my heel and strode from the gathering, shoulders squared.

I swallowed back my tears and held my head high as I walked away.

Each step was painful, but I won't give him the satisfaction of seeing me fall apart.

When I got to the palace entrance, tears started flowing down my face, expressing how heartbroken I was.

A guard was standing there with two big bags, which were my luggage.

I knew they were mine, so without saying anything, I grabbed the handle of the biggest bag and pulled it along with me out of the palace.

I couldn't even think of going back to the mansion because the maids would only throw me disdainful stares, and gossip amongst themselves.

The only things I had in the mansion were the ones he bought for me, like the car and the jewelry, which Bianca now claims.

All that was left of my old life there were empty rooms and memories.

I had nothing except these bags and the clothes I was wearing.

As night came, I kept walking until the lights of the palace and pack lands disappeared into the shadows.

It was only then that I fell to the wet ground, holding my knees tightly as I finally let out uncontrollable sobs.

I was all by myself.

When it got dark, I couldn't walk anymore.

I tripped off the dirt path and collapsed against the thick roots of an old oak tree.

My feet hurt, and my body felt tired, but it was my broken heart that hurt the most.

As I caught my breath in the cool night air, I gently rested a hand on my still-flat stomach.

"Just you and me now, little one," I whispered. I looked at my tummy, rubbed it gently, and blew it a kiss, smiling.

I leaned my head back against the rough bark and gazed up at the flickering stars through tear-blurred eyes.

“I promise you, child, your father will never know you.

He will be dead to you, as you will be dead to him.

He will never know of your existence, and you will never know of his," I spoke with a cracking voice due to my tears.

Through my tears, a mix of happiness and sadness appeared on my face as I thought about the new life growing inside me.

It was a bittersweet feeling.

This baby was a symbol of love and hope that Dylan could never take away or spoil.

No matter what happens, I will do everything in my power to protect this child!
