CHAPTER 2: HE IS MARRYING A MURDERER
1050 Words
I watched as Jason stared down at me nonchalantly. It was like I was a nobody to him and that we didn't grow up together. In a split second, my happiness turned into pain and disbelief.
The pain of betrayal gnawed at my heart and although I was breaking inside, I wasn't going to accept his rejection.
I was determined to find out the truth, the truth behind why my Jason would come back different three years after disappearing into thin air.
I had always dreamt of how our reunion would be, but this scenario never occured in my mind.
I shook my head vehemently, announcing my refusal to accept this cruel fate.
" No, no! I won't accept it! I will never agree to your rejection Jason. You are my mate, I will never let you go! " I shouted at him.
I didn't care what others thought or said as I stormed away.
Shifting to my wolf, I ran deep into the woods where my cottage stood.
My Wolf was howling in pain from the pain of betrayal from our mate. After waiting for all these years, was the moon goddess trying to mock me with a rejection?
After everything I went through, was this the compensation I was bound to receive? But why was my compensation even more painful than losing my parents.
I spent the whole day inside the small house I had called my home for the past three years contemplating my next move.
One thing was for sure, I was not going to let things slide so easily and accept Jaosn's rejection.
Call it obsession or something but at this point, I am too attached to Jason to even think of letting him go.
"You are my moon Nadia, without you, I am as good as a blind man." Those were Jason's exact words when he promised to make me his mate. Back then, I hadn't even confirmed that I was his fated mate.
I thought that he would be happy that he didn't have to choose me as his mate since the Moon goddess paired us together. Imagine the shock and pain I went through when he slapped the fact that we could never be together on my face.
He always said that he didn't care about my status as an Omega. Liar!
I felt like my world was slowly crumbling and falling apart.
Determined to find out what happened to Jason over the span of time he left, I sneaked to the pack.
With my small frame and familiarity with the pack, I easily made my way to the Alpha's office.
My intention was to have a talk with Jason but before I could sneak into his office, I heard Jason in a heated argument.
Filled with curiosity, I hid behind a tree to eavesdrop.
"This is the best you can do for this pack Alpha. We need the alliance, only then can we reclaim our lost glory. " One elder said.
"Not only will we get support from the Black River pack, you will have a strong mate and Luna. In the future, we can rest assured that the generations to come will be powerful. " Another one added.
I waited to hear Jason refuse the alliance but his next words left me more broken than I was in the morning.
"Alright. Make the arrangements. I shall marry her tomorrow." He declared. His voice held authority and finality.
He was willing to trade our mating bond just for power?
When did he turn into that kind of a person? The Jason I grew up with was least interested in power, not even the position of the next Alpha excited him.
"I'd rather have a small and peaceful life with you and our children than run up and down managing the pack." He had said one evening when I asked him about his dreams.
So what changed now?
When did I get erased from his plans for the future?
Was all the promises he made to me mean nothing to him? Was it all child's play in his eyes because to me, those were the pillars that kept me going even after my life took a turn for the worse.
Dejected, I ditched the plan of talking to Jason and headed back.
What was the use anyway? He already made a choice. Sadly, he chose the position of the Alpha over me.
Call me selfish, I really wished he could have chosen us over the marriage alliance.
I tossed and turned throughout the night, unable to catch even a wink of sleep.
How could I sleep? I was technically losing the only man I have ever loved all my life. What makes it even painful is the fact that Jason isn't just any other man, he is my fated mate, my blessing from the Moon goddess.
The following morning, I made my way to the pack.
Irrespective of what I heard last night, I still wanted to face Jason and have him explain himself to me.
I could understand if he was being pressured, I just needed to hear his explanation.
As I walked to the pack, I could not help but frown at the peculiar gazes the people were throwing at me.
I could swear I heard others snicker at me and laugh with mockery.
Choosing to ignore them, I walked to the all familiar hallway that leads to the pack's main house.
I smiled to myself as memories of how Jason and I would run up and down the hallway playing hide and seek. My smile soon vanishes when reality hits me.
He was no longer the man I grew up with.
A commotion at the pack's dining hall drew my attention and I headed over to have a look.
"I am officially introducing Dilai as my mate and the future Luna of this pack." Jason's voice bloomed and cheers filled the air but I remained rooted in place, shocked.
My heart clenched painfully as I watched Jason kiss the one person who makes my blood boil with rage and resentment.
How could he? Of all people? Why did it have to be her? The person who took my parents away from me is the chosen mate for my Jason?
