Sasha
Caleb's face was twisted into a mask of revulsion.
No...please no. Not him. Anyone but my cruel tormenter.
A chorus of gasps and whispers rippled through the pack like a cold wind.
But I clung to the hope, maybe just maybe he would save me, since he was the one who had s*x with me after all.
I clearly heard his voice last night, barely minutes after I was left to deal with my pains.
The pack members laughed and mocked him too.... being mated to me. The SLUT!
But they don't know was he was the blurred guy whom I had s*x with.
So this was karma! Right?
Tears of shame burned in my eyes as I searched Kaden's expression, desperate for any shred of acceptance.
But None!
But he was already shaking his head, looking anywhere but at me. "I can't accept this, Alpha," he spat out, louder this time for all to hear. "I won't be mated to a SLUT!"
His words made my world shattered around me as the pack members burst out into mocks and laughter.
My breathing hitch, as they continued…. I feel like the earth should open up to swallow me whole.
With the mate bond attraction, I rushed towards him, trying to reason with him.
He can't just reject me? Right?
Not after what he had done!
"Please, Caleb! I was drugged, I never wanted that to happen! It was Tina , she … she gave me that wine… she did this to me! You have to believe me!" I spurred, not knowing exactly what to say.
He shoved me away with a look of utter disgust, which made me tumble to the ground in a heap.
"Tina did what exactly? Raped you?" He mocked them and they all burst into more laughter.
"Stay the hell away from me, you pathetic b***h," he snarled, looming over me in all his muscled glory. "Did you really think I would accept being tied to the worthless pack w***e?" he spat! "You're not even the future Luna, this is a disgrace!"
The laughter and mocking cheers surrounded me like a thick fog. I curled into myself, letting the sobs wrack my body as an endless river of humiliation and hurt poured out. This was my worst nightmare, unfolding before my eyes.
"I, Caleb Maverick , reject you, Sasha Redmoon as my fated mate!" He barked and I felt something breaking inside of me.... I've always read in books the painful pain of being rejected, but I never thought it was this bad!
Before I knew it, Uncle Blake was over me. His expression was thunderous, his eyes chips of flint as he looked down at me in disgust. For one wild moment, I thought he might take pity, might listen to reason and defend his niece.
But the Alpha's next words crushed that dim flicker of hope.
"Guards! Take this Wolfless, shameless brat and throw her in the deepest pit of The Hell Cells. She has brought far too much dishonor to me and my pack!"
No!
Wait…The HELL Cells!
"No! Uncle, please!" I screamed, struggling futilely as the burly guards hauled me up by my arms. "I'm innocent! Please, you have to listen - I was drunk, this is not my fault!"
But uncle Blake had already turned away, his face set in stony resolution. As the guards dragged me away, I watched through tear-blurred eyes as Caleb hugged Tina , with a smirk as if, celebrating my rejection.
But I have no strength to deal with them. I'm going to the Hell cell… the cell where even the strongest Alpha is broken into the weakest pup? They can't take me there...this is madness!
The cold bars of the Hell Cell clanged shut behind me, sealing me in utter darkness and despair. I was well and truly alone, a fallen luna locked away like a criminal. Despite my pleas, I had been condemned without hearing me out!
Sinking to the filthy floor in a heap, I finally let myself shatter, screaming out my anguish until my voice was hoarse.
How could this happen?
I was supposed to find happiness and acceptance with my mate on this sacred night. Instead, I had lost everything - my status, my dignity, my pack.
I didn't know how long I cried, huddled against the freezing cells. Down here in the depths, the sounds of the full moon revelries couldn't reach.
No one would hear me screams. A fresh wave of sobs overcame me - I was utterly alone, an outcast even among my own kind, my own pack.
Just when I thought I had no tears left, the first cramping pains lanced through my soul. My heart had finally started, something deep in me demanding to be mated after being triggered by the ceremony.
Is it my wolf?
But I was trapped here, surrounded by dank walls instead of being cradled in my mate's arms.
Is she going to appear? Or would I stay Wolfless forever?
"Let me out! I'm innocent!" I shake the cell bars, as I doubled over, biting back screams as the waves of desire and need flooded through me.
Every fiber of my being craved the touch, the scent of that alpha yesterday, my mate to null the agonizing emptiness. But I was denied even that small mercy, left to suffer my first heat alone in this cold cell.
"Shut up b***h! No one's gonna hear you in The HELL cells" The heartless guard yelled.
As I writhed on the freezing floor, a horrible thought occurred to me - what if Blade never let me explain and believe in the lies?
What if he had condemned me here to waste away during my fertile years, never to have a mate or pups of my own? A fresh bolt of despair lanced through my heart.
I'm innocent... Caleb and Tina set me up, they plan this all.
"Release the beast!" I heard Alpha Blake order through the intercoms and a shudder passed through me!
Roar.....
My heart clenched as I heard the monster roar of the beast... Alpha Blake perfect killer weapons.
I'm dead.
