The Unshift Wolf

5. Farewell

Aspen's POV

"I, Blake Smith of the Raven pack, reject Aspen Creek, former daughter of the beta of the Raven pack as my future mate and Luna!" he stated with a firm and decided look on his face.

The words echoed in my head and for a moment, it felt like the whole world had frozen at this moment. I couldn't believe my ears for a moment and memories of the past flooded through my brain.

When he was always sweet to me and treated me like a princess and how I bad always felt on top of the wall. How we had made pinky promises never to part with each other and how I had stupidly prayer that the moon goddess makes me his mate.

The next moment, I was feeling pain like thousands of sharp vines was piercing through my skin, searing my flesh and soul. The pain was terrifying that I feared that I might give up the very next second. I had no choice but to accept.

"I Aspen Creek accept your rejection!" I tried to speak in a firm voice as hard as I can. At this point, my voice was quivering badly. I still couldn't believe this! Believe that Blake could do this. It felt as if everything is reeling in my head.

"Good! the bond between you two is severed, now I can be at ease! Now move your slutty ass out of here before anyone suspects a thing!" She scowled before adjusting the non existent creases on her dress.

I wasn't able to shift thus making me more weak and vulnerable in the pack and the very fact that my mate also rejected weakened almost every bone in my body.

My gaze met with Blake who looked like a dementor had fed in his soul. I felt no pity for him because he also deserved to feel every single pain I am going through right now.

Just as I was about to step free from this hellish hole and run into my room to release all the pent up emotions in me.

"Hold on, I don't want you coming back to my party this evening! I don't want to see you unlucky face and wanting you to spoil anything!" she warned before sashaying away with her hands linked with his arm.

"Thanks for saving me the trouble, that's the best birthday gift ever!" I yelled out as soon as they were gone knowing fully well that they can't hear me else I'll spend the night in the dungeons.

I fall helplessly against the wall before letting my tears flow freely. I stood still for a while, here in the dark and silence before giving the wall a punch with all my might.

"Ouch!" I yelled out loudly, I had foolishly hurt myself and I could feel it's stung deeply rooted in my heart.

Just as I was on the edge of a total breakdown, I heard footsteps and I immediately stood up and composed myself.

Later on, I realized that it must have been the other omegas who must be hella busy with work, I heaved out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I was able to sneak out to my room without being noticed. I didn't dare turn on the lights for the fear of Samantha catching me inside. Besides who needs the light anyway? Even in the dark, I easily crawled up to my bed and perched on the bed.

I pulled my laps up and buried my head right in between before bursting into silent sobs. Finally I have got some alone time and I will be able to weep all of my sorrows away!

"Aspen!" A familiar voice called making my heart almost leap out of my chest.

"Wh…" I almost screamed out of shock but the voice was quick to placed her hands in my lips.

"It's just me, calm down!" She assured and I nodded signalling to her that I was fine.

"Eva! what are you doing inside and alone?" I asked with curious brows, making sure that I gave no emotions away. I wouldn't want her to know about my rejection or the news spreading around the entire pack. Then I will be in a more pathetic state than I ever was. Something I wouldn't want to happen and that will also means more bullying from the omegas.

"I am leaving this pack Aspen! I am tired of this hellhole. I am tired of living my whole life with fear. I don't want to start a family in such place!" She explained. I wished I could see the look on her face as she confidently said all this, does she really mean all of this?

"Family?" I repeated the keyword in her information.

"Yes, I have found my soul mate right here in this pack, we are leaving together, he's a pack guard and he's already waiting for me by the border. I don't have much time left to stay here!"

I grabbed her by her hands just as she was throwing her luggages through the large window.

"Do you know that you will both become rogues the moment you step out of the pack!" I reminded her gently. I definitely didn't want her to leave, she was the only one here that made life more bearable for me. I could only help but imagine what would become of me once she leaves. All of this news was taking too much for me take in at a time.

"Yes, we are fully aware of that, I am sure that we'll find a better and more united pack to take us in!" She said with finality in her tone before leaving the same route her luggage passed. I immediately stood up and went to the window side to see her landing safely.

Just before she left, she baded her farewell which I was thankfully able to see due to the dim lights. And I did the same with a huge fake smile plastered on my face which I knew she was going to see due to her wolf vision.

"Perhaps I should leave this hellish pack too?" A dark thought crossed my mind.
