Elaine's POV. I gazed at my reflection in the mirror, my face radiant with joy. As I walked down the aisle in my wedding gown, I felt beautiful and elegant. My light makeup accentuated my features perfectly, and a beaming smile graced my countenance. All the members of our pack, as well as our invited guests, smiled warmly as they admired my appearance. At last, the long-awaited day had arrived. Today I'll be joined with my mate, Luke George and I've never been so excited as I am now. I made my way to the altar, my heart pounding with anticipation as I waited for Luke to join me. The guests fell silent, all attention focused on the entrance, awaiting his arrival. Moments later, the sound of footsteps drew my gaze towards the doorway. There stood Luke, his expression serious and unreadable. To my surprise, he was not alone, Andrea, a woman I did recognize, accompanied him, her hand clasped firmly in his. Luke looked incredibly dashing and polished in his black tuxedo and Andrea looked stunning in her red dress, this entirely got me scared. The unexpected sight caused a flutter of whispers to ripple through the gathered crowd. I felt a knot form in the pit of my stomach, a sense of unease creeping in as Luke and Andrea approached the altar. My smile dropped, several thoughts flashed through my mind and I could hear my heart beating like it wanted to jump out of my chest. I watched them patiently as they got to me. Luke let go of Andrea's hand and held mine, a smile immediately beamed on my face. "Gosh!" I almost had a heart attack. It's certainly not what I was thinking or so I thought. “Elaine," Luke called. His voice sounded cold. "I reject you as my mate" “Wha..wha..what!" I stuttered. "I've never loved you Elaine." He said, emotionlessly. Immediately my hand dropped from his. I glanced at Andrea, who was smiling menacingly. My brain immediately understood. "You.. you.." I stuttered. A sudden weakness overcame me, and I staggered backwards, struggling to maintain my balance. How could Luke do this to me? I had believed he loved me as deeply as I loved him. Had this entire wedding been nothing more than a calculated ploy to gain access to my assets? The realization that they had likely planned this betrayal from the beginning sent a wave of nausea through me. I steadied myself, my mind racing as I tried to comprehend the gravity of the situation unfolding before me. The air in the room felt thick with tension, the once joyous atmosphere now tinged with a palpable sense of shock and disbelief. Composing myself as best I could, I fixed my gaze upon Luke and Andrea, searching their expressions for any sign of remorse or explanation. However, their demeanors remained unwavering, leaving me to grapple with the devastating implications of their actions. "How could you.." I said, trying to suck up the already falling tears. "I thought we had a thing together Luke?" "Elaine, don't be so dumb now. Andrea has been the only one I've ever loved and whatever I did, I did it for her." Luke spat out, aggressively. I watched as he held Andrea's waist and gave her a light peck on the lips. "So all this while..." I paused. "It has just been for the money and the power as an Alpha?" "Yes." He replied firmly with his eyes fixed on me. I can see conviction in his eyes and this increased the pains. It felt like my world came crashing down, tears rolled down my cheeks effortlessly. The pains of rejection, betrayal, regrets and also the pain of losing all my parents worked for, came like a knife that pierced through my heart. My knees couldn't hold my entire body again as it dropped down. The invited guests seemed shocked and confused at the same time, they might be wondering among themselves what's actually happening. The fluttering whispers became more audible as they kept turning from side to side, wanting to understand the entire issue. Luke signaled the guards to see them all off, saying the wedding with me will no longer continue. His guards led them out, starting from the highest werewolves to the lowest. I watched as my wedding crumbled right in front of me. "You.. never, you.. never loved me Luke and I gave you my all! How could you be so heartless!" I half yelled, crying bitterly. “Come of it, Elaine. You just forced yourself on him." Andrea said, rolling a strand of her hair with her right hand. “How could you Luke, how could you?" I asked with a cracked voice, I heard Luke chuckled then he rolled his eyes. I was already drained in tears. I just wished Luke could say, he was joking all along but.. but he has already rejected me. The bond between us is broken. I thought I had found someone who could love me back the way I loved them. But it turned out to be a one-sided affair after all. I've never experienced such a devastating heartbreak before. Right now, I feel utterly devastated and I wish the ground would open and swallow me. I stood staring into thin air, I suddenly went numb. This isn't the life I pictured with Luke, perhaps I'm in a never ending dream. My entire body felt totally weak and it was like I could pass out anytime soon. My eyes became more and more blurry as I felt dizzy but I tried to hold up. "Seize her!" Luke half yelled, as the guards which were once mine rushed to seize me. He has succeeded in turning my people against me. I was still numb as they dragged me away from the wedding hall to lock me in the dungeon. I could hear the giggling of Andrea. "She must be executed tonight!" Luke's last statement echoed in my brain as I blacked out.
