Rejected but still desired

The show must go on

Selena POV:

The day of my eighteenth birthday had finally come. However, the happiness that I thought I would be experiencing from a few days ago was now non existent. The room I had been moved to was bare and white, I assumed they were continuing with the tradition of keeping me as a concubine and not as luna. I already felt empty, I had not seen Ethan since yesterday and the coldness in his voice, the way he spoke to me... And of course, Alice's words kept ringing through my head and whenever I thought my mind had finally silenced itself, there was Raze and Ro, both giving me the same warning. Leave. Don't look back.

Yet, here I am and they were right and gone.

The door to the white room opened and in walked Luna Anna, she was wearing a deep crimson dress, that hugged her bosom and flowed past her hips. Her neck was adorned with a diamond and ruby encrusted choker. Her hair was curled and pinned up, she looked regal. "You're awake." Her voice was cold as she snapped her fingers and two attendant omegas walked in with a dress rack and boxes of jewels. What was going on?

I remembered Luna Anna standing over me when I lost consciousness but I couldn't remember further than that. I don't remember what we spoke about or what we were doing together. Everything was so blurry and if I could just remember... "What's going on?" I asked, my voice soft and deflated, she smirked at me, her red lips curling against her pale skin. "Today is your birthday party!" She exclaimed and I felt a shiver run down my spine, "what are you talking about!?" My voice was raised in panic, she continued to smile and turned to the omega with the dresses, "let's see, what can we dress you in for today?" She said aloud, clearly enjoying my uncomfort, I felt myself shifting on my feet, "girls, what do you think about this pink dress?" She asked, pulling out a long neon pink dress with long sleeves, to say it was hideous would be an understatement. She looked at me and walked towards me, holding up the dress, "I think it's perfect!" She exclaimed and the other omegas silently nodded their head. "I'm not wearing that." My words cut through her play pretend like a hot knife through butter. Her smile was gone now. "You are wearing this dress." She tried to use her luna authority over me but it wasn't working. I straightened my back and stood taller, "I'm not. If you like it, you can wear it." My voice came out with a kind of power that I had never heard before, I watched as she stepped back and her bottom lip quivered. She threw the dress on the bed and turned and left without another word.

The omegas stood their awkardly with a new look on their faces. They looked afraid. "Leave!" I growled. I could feel myself growing stronger and that could only mean one thing, tonight, I would shift into my wolf. The omegas scurried out of the room and I stormed out too. I needed to find Ethan and we needed to resolve this.

I continued my march to his room but when I tried the door, it was locked. I spotted an omega and commanded her to open the door, which she did with great fear in her eyes. I really don't know what's going on today. I pushed open his room door to find the bed had been made and it was empty. I sniffed the air, it was only the sweet smell of spearmint and it was driving me crazy.

I needed my mate.

I slammed the door shut and continued my search for him. "Where could he be?" I muttered. There seemed to be no guards attached to me anymore or even to this hall way, which was weird. Everything was quiet. I heard something fall nearby, I think it came from one of the spare rooms.

Well, my hearing had heightened and I started to grow excited. My wolf would be here tonight. I continued towards the room, placing my hand on the handle and slowly opening it.

"Oh f**k! Right there! Ethan!" Moaned Alice. I was frozen at the sight before me. Alice was facing towards me, her eyes shut in complete pleasure, she was on all fours and the man that stood behind her... Ethan...

Every memory that we shared seemed to flutter through my mind, making me disoriented as I watched him pump into her. He briefly looked up and saw me and he didn't stop. He smiled and went harder. I stumbled backwards as Alice's moans turned into screams of pleasure. My heart was beating in my chest when I turned and ran.

I sprinted down the stairs and through the kitchen, not registering the looks of shock and surprise that the other omegas were giving me. I needed to get out of here! The moans and screams were in my head, "Oh Ethan!" It was echoing and grating against my brain. His face flashed before me, the smile he gave me as he pumped harder. My chest was closing in on me but I was not going to stop. I needed to get out. I had made it to the cliff, just as Alice's words from yesterday rang through my mind.

"Maybe if you're lucky, you'll see..."

I stood above the cliff and looked down at the violent river. I wanted to scream and I wanted to jump. How dare he!? My hands were shaking with anger. I let out a loud scream not giving a s**t. He treats me like s**t and accuses me of infidelity and does that!? I started pacing backwards and forwards. The wind had a bite as it tried to blow through me. This wasn't over. Ethan would pay.

He deserved to pay.
