Chapter 1
“I Hael Kendrick, the Alpha of the Gealach Pack. Reject you Ruelle Heinrich as my mate and the future Luna of the pack.”
Hael said in a cold voice as he looked down at Ruelle, who was looking at him with her eyes filled with tears, she looked pathetic and weak as she stood in the middle of everyone, she looked around and saw the pack members looking at her with disdain and some even laughing at her.
She then looked back at her mate who was looking at her with absolute hatred, she clenched her fists and said, “I Ruelle Heinrich accept your rejection!”
As soon as she said those words pain shot in her heart and she felt vulnerable, she managed to stand at her place as Hael said, “from today you are banished from the pack!”
Ruelle nodded, as she turned around and saw the faces of her parents who were looking at her and crying, she then looked at her brother and sister-in-law who was supposed to be her best friend but no one tried to stop her or stand up for her.
No one believed her as she walked past everyone, out of the pack territory. As she walked, she felt that someone was behind her, she turned back and looked at the person who had followed her and that’s when she saw Hael. Her Mate, her first love, her world, right now he looked at her with so much hate and anger that her heart ached.
“Hael…” she tried to say but Hael came forward and grabbed her neck as he said in a cold voice, “don’t you dare to take my name with that filthy mouth of yours! You bloody murderer, traitor!”
Ruelle closed her eyes and said, “I did not… I didn’t kill her Hael… I swear… I did not kill Angie!”
Hael looked at her with bloodshot eyes and with an enraged face, he looked so angry that it looked like he was going to kill her, “I trusted you so much! I loved you Ruelle! Then why did you had to do that! Why did you kill my sister Angie!”
Ruelle’s eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Hael and said once last time, “I did not kill Angelina! I swear I did not!”
Hael pushed her away, Ruelle stumbled back before she fell on the ground, she coughed badly as she looked at Hael, she cried as she crawled towards Hael and touched his , “Hael… Hael, I beg you please, please, believe me I did not kill Angelina! I did not! I swear! Please Hael!”
“Then why do all the evidence point towards you! Ivy would never lie! She said that she saw you leave with Angelina! You know, everyone had told me that you were not good for me! That you were not a good match for me but I never believed them! Ivy and Martha had said that you were cheating on me but I did not believe her, I should have believed them! I should have never trusted you!”
Ruelle’s eyes widened, “me? Cheat on you? Hael… I would never… I never did that I swear I never… Hael I…” she said as she cried and begged, “Hael please… I never cheated on you! I swear!”
“Enough!” Hael shouted, “I have given you enough chances and this is the last chance that I will give you, get out of my sight, get out of my pack and never let me see you again.”
He said before he turned around and walked away, leaving Ruelle behind crying by herself.
~~
Ruelle did not know how long she had been walking by herself, alone in the dark forest all by herself.
She never knew that one day she would have to go through something so horrible. Her mate rejected her, her family abandoned her, her mother, father, sister, everyone, why?
Why did everyone hate her so suddenly, she knew that her family never really liked her and neglected her but how can they be so cruel to just discard the child they had raised for so many years?
Tears kept on falling from her eyes as she walked away from there. She kept her hand over her stomach and sighed, “Looks like it’s just you and me now huh.” She said as she tried to smile bitterly.
She had wanted to inform Hael that she was pregnant with his child, and today was supposed to be a happy and auspicious day but it didn’t turn out the way she had hoped.
She sighed as she walked, however she stopped when she heard movement around her, she looked around and her face turned pale and her eyes widened when she smelled something in the air.
“Rogues.” She said as she tried to run however, she was stopped by the rogue wolves, she became scared and she moved back. She kept her hand over her stomach, “what do you want from me!” she said.
“We are sent here to finish you off.”
“Sent? Who sent you!” she asked.
The man in front of her laughed and said, “who else? Of course, the one whose sister you killed!”
Ruelle’s eyes widened, “Hael? Wants to kill me?” she whispered as she looked at rogues on front of her, suddenly one of the rogues jumped at her and tried to attack her.
She dodged the attack and found and opening and made a run for it, she ran as fast as she can, however her pursuers didn’t let her go that easily.
While running her foot got stuck in a bush and she fell on the ground, she yelled as she felt pain. However, she still crawled and tried to get as far away as she can. She tried to stand up but her leg ached a lot and she found it hard to walk. However, she somehow managed to come near the cliff.
She looked down and saw the water, she then looked back and saw the rogues.
She moved back as they came towards her, suddenly one of the rogues ran towards her, she moved back but her leg slipped and she fell from the cliff down into the cold sea.
