Chapter one
"I Armnado Luca, this day reject you, Elsa Roland as my mate" These were the words of Armando, my mate or rather my Ex mate now.
It was my twentieth birthday and everything was going smoothly before this happened. Ironically, the party was hosted and organized by Armando, unknown to me that he had a hidden agendum. Tears filled my eyes on hearing this and I stared deeply into his eyes and I saw no remorsefulness in him but rather he looked all serious.
" Armando, what is this, you are joking with me right? '' I playfully said and touched his arms as he was used to playing silly pranks on me and so i thought it was one of them. But unfortunately, my thought was not it and so it just remained my thought alone and not his.
"I am very serious, Elsa. This is not a joke" He sternly uttered to me. My eyes became watery and my breathe ceased for some seconds. How was it even possible that Armando who had only shown me love would do this to me publicly. He was actually holding a microphone when he said that. It was the time for him to say some nice words to me and he called me to the podium to stand with him. I thought probably he had something romantic in store for me but how little did i know that the stuff he had for me was nothing close to romance?
"What are you saying Amrando,, how can you possibly do this to me?" I said and grabbed his hands once more as the audience began to murmur and there was indistinct chatter in the crowd. I had invited all of my friends and was happy that I had clocked twenty, but unknowingly for me, I did not know that heartbreak was lurking around my evergreen garden.
" This is my decision, and there is nothing you can do that would make me change my mind." He spat and tossed my hand away, making me twirl halfway. I stared at my hand that he thrutched away and to me it felt like a dream. Tears began to roll down my eyes on realization that it was no dream but reality. I couldn't even look at the audience where my mom, dad and sister were also present in.
" This must be a dream. Why are you doing this to me? Did I do anything wrong?" I muttered and held him as he wanted to go down the stairs of the podium.
"Let me be Elsa!!" He roared and pushed me away, making me fall on the floor. My heart was so heavy and broken, totally devastated. I wasn't sure I could carry it anymore. Being humiliated in presence of strangers was a little better but facing such humiliation in presence of family and friends nearly made my heart fall out.
" Armando, please don't leave" I whimpered as he walked away in the crowd without even turning back to tell me it was just a prank. I stained the white dress I wore as I halted on the floor not even having the strength to pull myself up. Maia, my younger sister, rushed to me and held me back from crying. Folks started leaving the function but then I knew I was going to be the topic of discussion for that night and till the fortnight to come.
"It's Okay Elsa" Maia said and hugged me as I wailed on the floor.
"But what was my crime?" I blubbered and stared at her. She obviously had no answer for me and so she just glared at me and also joined me in crying
I didn't let it remain that way and I needed my question to be answered and so I arose from the floor and raced both my heart and feet towards Armando, who was walking so briskly to the parking lot so he would leave.
"Armando wait" I screamed as I ran so fast with all the speed I had with the little strength left in me. He didn't even care to stop but continued his movement and I wondered if truly it was my Armnado. He always had time for me and always longed to see my face running away from the same face he was crazy about. I remembered how I bragged to friends while in high school and after high school saying that the moon goddess really loved me and that's why she gave me a perfect mate in the person of Armando. We were the envy of others during highschool and though despite many schemes by my friends and foes to take him away from me it still was futile and our love blossomed.
"Please wait" I said and grabbed his hand. He stopped but then he didn't even turn to look at me and so I rushed to his face.
"Armando, please look into my face and tell me you are lying, please I beg you" I cried and stared into his eyes, hoping to get through to him now. In my heart I really thought it was a dream because my Armando could never do this to me. He stared into my eyes for a few seconds without saying anything. He shook his mouth as though he wanted to say something, but then he didn't
" I meant every word I said Elsa '' He said so slowly as though counting his words while he poked his face very close to me. Hearing this made me lose control of my whole body and surroundings. My lips became so hot as though being boiled. My whole body began to shiver like a dove drenched in rain.
"Im gonna rip this son of a b***h!!" Tiana my wolf roared in me. She was about taking control of me but I managed to thrutch her down.
"No,no, no, no, no. Please stop this Armando. I know you are joking. Please stop it I beg of you, please it's not funny" I said and grabbed him firmly and shook him with all my might. He pushed me away and I fell on the floor.
"Elsa, get a grip of yourself.(Approached where I laid on the floor) Okay, in case you did not hear me well inside, i repeat myself again. I Armando Luca, Reject you Elsa Roland, as my mate", he said. I just stared at him as he spoke and couldn't even talk anymore but just let my tears do the expression of my heartfelt emotions. I watched him walk away and got into his car. I just sat on the floor and watched him drive away.
"Armando!!!" I screamed as he left.
The whole flashback just came to my head. Now I laid on my bed as tears flowed free again......
