Chapter 1: Rejecting my mate
Luna’s pov
I stood there and looked at the man I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with, my mate.
He looked at me, but it wasn’t the same way he looked at her…
“I will never have your heart, will I? You only love once Ashton and you love her, will you ever love me as much as you love her?” I asked him and he looked at me with pity and guilt.
He didn’t answer but his silence was more than enough to tell me what I wanted.
“I Luna Moonshine of the Allura Pack reject you Alpha Prince Ashton Knight as my mate,” I said and held back my tears.
He looked at me surprised and was about to say something, but I raised my hand.
“For once do the right thing, be honest with yourself.
It's her you want and not me.” I said looking at Taylor.
He also looked at her and my heart just broke even more.
The love and admiration in his eyes as he looked at her was like a silver knife in my heart.
“I Alpha Prince Ashton Knight accept your rejection,” he said.
I felt the mate bond breaking or whatever was left of it.,
I quickly ran to my room and closed the door.
I couldn’t stop the tears and the pain.
I felt like someone was slowly slicing my heart into small pieces, all I wanted was for the pain to go away.
I have just lost my mate, but come to think about it.
I never really had him.
Ashton was never mine to begin with, because all this time I have known him, he has been in love with her.
My name is Luna Moonshine.
I recently just found my mate only to find out he is in love with someone else.
The signs were there but I ignored them.
Deep down I think I knew his heart belonged to someone else.
He was distant and sometimes he hardly even looked my way.
I didn’t know it, but I should have seen it.
The signs were right in front of me and I didn’t see them.
I later found out that he was in love with another girl.
Not just in love but madly and deeply in love with her.
She is the opposite of me, outspoken, powerful, and confident.
I knew there was no way he could love her and then fall in love with me.
I smiled sadly when I remembered a conversation I had with Taylor.
I told her that she was the other woman and not me
. That Ashton is my mate, and she is nothing but a villain in my love story.
She has said something that I couldn’t get out of my mind since then.
She said that she might be the villain in my love story with Ashton, but I am also the villain in her love story.
And like always, she was right.
I really was the villain in their love story.
I was just the girl that Ashton was forced to accept because of the mate bond.
I looked around the room and it felt like the walls were crushing me in and I had to do something.
I couldn’t just stay in this place.
I needed a distraction.
I got off the floor and went to the shower.
The water on my body didn’t do anything to numb the pain in my heart.
I got dressed in the shortest dress I could find and went out.
I made sure that no one saw me.
The last thing I needed was to see their pitiful looks.
I just gave up my mate so he could be with the woman he actually loves.
The last thing I need is for people to feel sorry for me.
I got into my car and started driving.
“I made the right decision, he loves her more than anything… He would never look at me the way he looks at her,” I kept telling myself that as I was driving.
I went to the night club and ordered the strongest drink they had.
I had about 6 shots, but I could still feel the pain.
Damn, being a werewolf now.
I can't even get drunk when I desperately want to get drunk.
I had more shots and then more and more until I felt a little bit tipsy and a little lightheaded and that’s when I knew that they were working.
I went to the dance floor and, for once, I wasn’t too shy to dance.
I felt this confidence and freedom that I hadn’t felt in a very long time.
I felt hands hold my waist as I was dancing and at that moment I didn’t care at all.
I danced for what seemed like forever and when I was a little tired I went to order another drink.
“Three more shots bartender” I said, and he did exactly that but first he gave me a look of concern.
I had my shots and went back to the dance floor.
I started dancing and I felt hands on my waist again, but these ones made me stop dancing.
I felt my skin heat up at the contact.
It wasn’t a mate bond, but it was something else.
I turned around and gasped when I saw who it was.
He stood there all tall and proud looking at me like me with his hazel eyes.
“Blake,” I said, and he looked at my body and then I saw something flash in his eyes, but it was gone.
“What are you doing here Luna?” he asked me.
I was surprised that he knew my name.
Blake never looked at me even for a second and now he was looking at me with concern.
The vampire prince is concerned about someone like me?
“I asked you what the hell are you doing here?” he asked me.
His eyes were flashing red as he looked at me.
I could tell that he was getting angry.
“I came to forget, I rejected Ashton. He loves her and he will never love me as he does her” I told him, and I saw his eyes soften a little.
“Let's get out of here,” he said picking me up bridal style.
I tried to get out of his hold, but he gave me a look.
“Don’t make me angry,” he said, and I kept still.
Why did i just follow his order just like that?
