(Veronica POV)
I arrived at the airport and took a deep breath. Is this what freedom feels like? Was I lacking all the perks of freedom in my whole life? I questioned myself. I will now live my whole life on my own rules and now nobody can dictate to me what to do or what to not? With this thought A new wave of motivation and energy courses through my body. I dialed Lily’s number and informed her about my arrival. I know it will take half an hour or so for her to arrive, so I sat there and started thinking about my life and future.
A thought pops into my mind “What will happen if my decision is proved wrong? What will I do then? I didn’t even think about it while making the decision," I thought but then shook my head to get rid off all the negative thoughts.
"O God! please help me," I make a quick pray.
“Thank god girl! You mustered up the courage to make this decision” Lily said in a cheery voice and engulfed me in a bear hug and started blabbering about the future plans. While looking at her welcoming attitude I know one thing for sure that my decision is not wrong at all.
We arrived at her apartment and she showed me my room and informed me about the Pizza which she had already ordered. I left my luggage in the room and joined her in the lounge for lunch. We ate our pizza and discussed random things.
Then she became serious and asked “Ronnie! Can you please tell me what actually happened between you and Alpha Caleb? Because I remember last time you told me that he is in love with you then what happened all of a sudden that he rejects you?" She asked in a concerned voice.
Tears started forming in my eyes “Hey…you know you can tell me anytime if you are not ready now?" She said to me. “I only asked because I want you to be happy and let go of your past otherwise you can’t get over it and remain stuck here for your whole life,” She further explained but I shook my head.
“I know Lily that you only want the best for me and I also want to tell you” I said.
I explained How Alpha Caleb used me? How Rory betrayed me and What was the reaction of Alpha and Luna on my wolfless situation with every nook cranny. After two hours, We both were crying mess.
After our little crying session, I said to her “You know what Lily? I am happy that he is not my mate because I can’t survive with a person who has such narrow thinking," She didn't say anything but just nodded in answer.
(Lily POV)
I listened to her patiently but I want to punch Alpha Caleb’s face so badly and Rory’s betrayal only adds fuel to fire. “They are nothing but pathetic” I commented.
“Giving false hope to someone should be the worst crime of the world. You didn’t know but it might be possible that someone is already living on her/his last hope and you snatch that hope from her/him for your selfish reasons”. I want to say that to Ronnie but I know that I can’t voice my opinions now. This is not an appropriate time for all this and she needs my help and I will be more than happy to help her.
But when she said, “She is happy that he is not her mate” I felt proud of her.
“I think the moon goddess wants to expose the real faces of such pathetic people to you, that's why your wolf didn’t appear yet,” I said to her.
“You know Lily, I don’t care if I have a wolf or not? I am beautiful in the way I am, I accepted myself with all the flaws and strengths because now, I don’t care what others think about me,” She said bravely.
“That’s my girl, I am proud of you and love youuuu!!!” I said in a loud voice.
“Ronnie?” I called her. "I want to tell you about tomorrow's plan".
“And what is your plan?” She co*ked her eyebrow.
“Nothing much but you have to change your style. I know you like simplicity but now you have to change everything including your style, Taste and Fashion sense. You have to prove that rejecting you was the worst mistake of that Alpha mut’s life. We will go to Spa and then the Mall to add spice and sass to your personality and style. You know what I mean. Right?" I said with a wink.
"I will also help you to change your whole wardrobe, don't worry”. I informed her proudly.
“And I think I have no right to reject this offer?” she asked questioningly.
“Nope,” I retorted and she smiled while shaking her head.
Then I helped her in selecting courses for the university and applied online for her admission. I also helped her to unpack her luggage and then we went to sleep in my room because her room is not ready yet.
I didn’t tell her that but she is the most brave woman in the world I have ever known because she not only handled her rejection but also mustered up the courage to let go of the past and take an encouraging step towards the future.
I don’t know how I will react if this all happen to me in future? But one thing is for certain that, I am not that brave so I will take a lot more time to accept all these.
I swore that I will make her so much better that Alpha Caleb will regret his whole life that why he rejected her in the first place?
