I drew in a hurt breath through my mouth as my heart pounded loudly in my ears.
" I am a woman. I'm your mate James and I love you." I rushed out.
However, he was deathly serious and my words had no effect on him.
"You have no f*****g further use to me! You're a waste of a Luna. I'm carrying you back home to Silas and letting him know he produced a worthless daughter!"
He grabbed my shoulders roughly and pulled me off of the bed. I was in shock as it happened.
" James no! Please!"
I was begging, choking on my tears. I was begging him for mercy as he dragged and hauled me towards the door kicking. The fear in me was overwhelming.
" Please James. James. I'll do anything. I 'll do anything you want. Just think of the four years we've spent together.I love you more than anything. I love you. Please!" I rambled quickly.
All of my pleas fell on deaf ears.
He opened the door and threw me out. The air was knocked out of my lungs as I landed roughly on my stomach.
Pain shot up my arms but it was nothing compared to the pain in my chest. It was early morning. I knew all of the pack members were out for breakfast, going to work and getting ready to start their day.Panic started to spread through me as I tried to scramble up.
" I'm going to make a public example out of you." he said menacingly, standing tall over me.
His words vibrated through me and my eyes widened at his statement.
He towered over me and grabbed me by the hair. I cried out in both shock and at the searing pain in my scalp as every strand of hair was roughly rooted up.
I desperately held on to his hand to try and alleviate the pressure but it was futile as he dragged me along the floor out of the corridor.
The closer we got, the more I could hear my heart beat roaring in my ears. He stopped at the top of the stairs and I started to breathe heavily when I saw his intention.
" James no!" I cried.
He threw me down the stairs.
Nothing could prepare me for it as I slammed into the hard mahogany wooden steps.
My lips burst on impact and there was a sickening crack in my side as I rolled down the steep flight of stairs and hit the landing hard. I screamed in pain and everyone ran to see what was happening. Everything was slightly blurry.
Help the Luna was all I could hear.
It was a commotion as everyone ran towards me. They stopped short when they noticed him marching halfway down the stairs.
" I'm just getting rid of garbage everyone! Your Luna is infertile! "
" James please." I sputtered softly, trying to fight the blackdots in my vision and feebly prop myself up on one arm.
Blood ran down my face as everyone gathered around whispering and watching, some unsure about what to do. I glanced at the crowd and noticed eyes scanning my legs and underneath me and I realised I was half naked from the waist down.
The gown was bunched up around my waist. I shakily tried to pull my nightgown down.
" James not here." I implored him with a sob.
He didn't stop. He bounded down the stairs three at a time and hauled me to the door. I cried at the pain in my side as his fingers cut into my arms. His intention was clear when he headed to the garage. I clung to his arms wrenching in pain.
" Please, I'll go myself! I'll leave myself James! Please don't do this. Leave my father out of this!" I cried as we neared the black sports car he cherished.
" No, I want him to personally know what a disappointment you are." he leered uncaringly.
He opened the door and threw me in, slamming the door shut. There was no escaping it. He jumped in his side and the engine roared to life.
He floored the gas and sped out of the garage like a mad man as I sobbed. I clung to the door as the car swung dangerously around the curves of the road.
"J-James slow down." I cried and pleaded, but he shoved me hard, back over to my side.
Our pack wasn't more than ten to fifteen minutes away but with the speed at which he was driving, we arrived in five.
The guards let him in and when the familiar white house loomed into view I begged more than I could ever beg in my life. I asked him to remember our vows. I asked him to remember his love for me.
But he opened the glove compartment and took out a knife and my heart lurched in my throat. He came around my side and I tried my best to reason with him.
" James, I have been the best Luna to our pack." I sputtered.
My knees hit hard and scraped against the concrete as he tossed me out.
" Silas!" he roared, the veins standing out in his neck. It was so loud that it echoed through the pack. " Silas!"
I could see the white curtain upstairs shift slightly and my father looked through the window. James brandished the knife and looked at me.
" James, what are you doing? James not here. Please." I choked out.
" I'm rejecting you," he replied.
The whole world stopped. He couldn't reject me. He was my everything.
" No no no no, James please. I love you. I'll do anything. I can't live without you." I grappled clutching his hand in mine.
He didn't even hesitate. That's how much my love meant to him.
To reject a wolf you are mated and marked to, the male wolf has to cut out the mark from the female wolf with a silver blade followed by him denouncing her. After this the one who made the rejection can move on.
However, the thing about this is when your soul has been tethered together, breaking it is a terrible thing. Not only is the pain unfathomable, but the one being rejected usually dies along with their wolf.
The silver blade sunk into my shoulder and I screamed out in pain as he carved out the chunk of flesh where his mark was. It was excruciating as he sliced out the mark. I'd gone hoarse from screaming by this.
It was gone as my body trembled. The mark I'd worn proudly for years declaring that I was his and only his was gone. The mark I'd run my fingers over so many times.
My father came running outside with my mother behind him and they both stopped in their tracks at the scene before them. There were other persons from the pack coming as well.
The warm blood ran down my shoulder as I was wrenched in pain.
" Anna Mae!"
It was my sister running along with her mate Leon, to part the growing number of people. He was currently the alpha of the pack.
"What the hell is going on here?!" my father shouted angrily and the whispering among everyone silenced. This was what James was waiting for.
" What is going on here is I've been mated to a worthless she wolf!"
He kicked me and I fell on the pavement with a cry. When my father rushed forward my mother held him back.
" Silas! Silas!" she called out breathily and her hands trembled as she tried to get him to not fight with James. She was devastated looking at me. He was ruining me before my parents. He was ruining me before everyone.
" What the hell are you here for exactly, James?" Leon growled and stretched a hand back to stop and quiet Beth. James looked at my father with anger fueling his task.
" Your daughter is barren. Doctor confirmed it. So I've brought home the trash that you've produced."
My mom gasped and I could see the change in my father's eyes. Beth covered her mouth and I hung my head as everyone looked on shocked by the revelation.
" I James Corval A-"
The words jolted through me. How could he leave me? How could he do this to me?
" No, please!" I clung to his shoe desperately. " James, please. I love you. Please don't do this."
I could hear the murmurs as I grovelled and begged at his feet. He pitched me off with disgust.
" I, James Corval, Alpha of the Corinthian pack reject my marked and fated mate Anna Mae Shutter of the Timber pack!"
James held on to his chest and grimaced.
It started like a rising heat and then the excruciating pain made me release a blood-curdling scream.
My wolf howled from the agonizing pain.
I was engulfed in pain.
I wanted death.
Nothing existed as I screamed.
The pain raked my entire being and racked my body. I couldn't breathe, couldn't think. I'd give anything for it to end.
" You son of a b***h!"
My father lurched forward as my mother cried. Her hands were shaking harder than ever.
I was afraid for my father. He wasn't the young alpha he used to be years ago. He was a man with age and experience. He didn't have the strength he used to.
I couldn't bare for him to get hurt because of me. I used everything I had left in me to get up from the pavement and launch myself at him. I held on to him with everything I had despite pain and gravity pulling me down.
" Dad please! Please don't. For me." I whispered out.
That's all I could manage to grunt out.
My blood stained and soaked through his shirt and I felt the ground pulling me down. My eyes rolled in the back of my head and I fell at his feet, clinging to his leg like when I was a little girl and I didn't want him to leave for pack duties in the mornings.
When he'd gently shake his leg and pretended he was carrying me with him clinging to him like that and I'd giggle like crazy until my cheeks hurt.
He looked down at me with tears in his eyes as James satisfied, jumped back into his car and sped off.
