I, crown prince, Alexander, reject this lady here, Ariel, as my mate and future Luna." He announced, and I felt my legs wobbling as I collapsed to the floor with a loud thud, erupting gasps from everyone as he released his hold on me."W-what d-do y-you-m-mean?" I stuttered, feeling my heart racing out of anxiety and my lips quivering but his face just scrunched into a frown, his orbs eyeing me with disgust boldly written in them."And I choose Jessica here," He began, his face crumbling into a sweet smile as he offered his hands towards Jessica, who took it, giggling.I just looked on, my mouth hanging open as he pronounced her as his mate instead."As my chosen mate and Future Luna".Then it hit me in the heart. Excruciating pain. I first sat on the floor, unblinking, trying to process what I had just heard before blood drained from my face.It felt like a knife was ripping my heart out. I couldn't breathe as it felt like I was being punched in the guts.' How could he do this to me?' I wanted to scream out as I could feel the pain from our bond breaking but then I refused to show my weaknesses and held my chin proudly." I accept your rejection." He reared back a little from shock, probably expecting me to get on my knees and beg him, but I was too big and proud for that. I caught Jessica's usual smirk as she gave me looks filled with bale, scrunching up her nose at me, and I felt anger course through my veins as I clenched my hands into fists.' I was going to get my revenge. I would make sure of that' I determined within myself as I was bundled out of my own birthday party by the guards.I was still outside, contemplating how when I heard a loud wave of laughter from behind me and turned to see Jessica and her friends, standing at my back, making fun of me and pointing towards me with their fingers."Oh! What is it?" I growled when the laughter became too much for me to bear. Jessica stopped and feigned her expression into that of a sorrowful one, her eyeballs growing watery." I am so sorry sister, for taking your man. I didn't mean to, honestly; we just have been having our affair for so long behind your back, and I love him." I knew something was up or someone was nearby, leading Jessica to fake a pity scene. She was a pro at that.' But wait! Did I just hear they have been having an affair behind my back?'. I suddenly felt like a fool, remembering all those signs and awkward ways they acted towards one another in my presence. It all made sense now. The urge for revenge struck harder at my heart, and at the same time, I wanted to march over to Jessica and claw the hidden grin on her hideous face out. I think that was what she wanted, so I controlled myself.Her friends moved to console her, having a puzzled expression, probably wondering why she was apologizing since they came to mock me obviously.Suddenly, he walked past me, standing tall, walking gracefully, and not paying attention to the little drama going on. Moving powerfully, the right piece of my revenge.
