Rejected!

Seraphina opened the door to her dull room roughly. She hurriedly closed the door and still had her back to him. The sound of her sobbing became louder with her panting.

"Why should I be the one stuck with this problem, Moon Goddes."

Sera forced her steps to approach her worn-out bed. She came with a large, worn-out mirror that looked yellowish. She stood there and roughly wiped away her tears. The girl stood up and looked at her completely messed up appearance.

The girl pulled her shirt up to see the state of her stomach. It was bruised and still painful. It wasn't just a wound from Evan's kick but also from Evan fucking another girl.

Seraphina sobbed again, the mate bond with Evan tormenting her deeply. Every werewolf who betrays his mate, then his mate will feel excruciating pain in his stomach, resulting in bruises.

"You're really bad, Evan. Look at this blackish bruise. I'm really tormented at the thought of you making love to another girl. If you knew, I could only endure this pain," Sera muttered in a sad tone.

'Look at all this, Lys' Sera tried to scan Lysandra.

'Please, Sera, hold on a little longer. For me and Luna's sake. Please, don't give up.'

'YOU CRAZY! You don't see me this broken right now! I'm sure you feel it, too. Don't be evasive!' Sera was getting angry. She just wanted Lysandra to comfort her, but the wolf only wanted her pain to go deeper.

"I loved him. Love her very much. He's my eye, which means he's my destiny. But that destiny is also what makes me suffer. I've even seen her making love to Elara with my own eyes. That time, she saw me too, and she grinned even more at the pain I was in!" Seraphina screeched as if pouring out her frustration, her pain and everything she was feeling right now.

BRAKK!

The walls of the room rattled as the door to Seraphina's room opened with a loud bang. The girl turned her head towards the door and immediately froze where she stood.

EVAN

His gaze was so creepy that it created a tense atmosphere. His eyes were very sharp and flashed as he looked at the girl. Sera's body trembled with fear. She did not dare to look at him directly. Sera spontaneously lowered her face.

"Look at me!" His voice sounded very intimidating.

Sera timidly raised her face, but a second later, she felt her head throbbing.

PLAAKK!

The girl wasn't just shocked; she even fell because the slap was so hard. Sera even reflexively rubbed the corner of her lips as she felt something salty slipping into the crevice of her lips. She saw the red color there, and the corner of her lip was torn.

"Alpha..." She dared to look at him again.

"IT'S NOT ENOUGH THAT YOU CAUSED MY FATHER'S DEATH! YOU MURDERER! Don't know any better! You fucking bitch! You still lick my mother and poison her mind!"

Seraphina's body seemed to tremble violently. She was really scared at that moment. She tried to hold back the tears, but her chest was getting tight, and the tears were pouring down.

The girl was even more frightened when her premonition began to sense something not good. She saw the evil grin on Evan's face. Moreover, she saw the Alpha remove the leather belt from his pants. He began to advance toward Sera. The girl shook with fear and backed away. However, she was further crushed as her back felt cold and pressed against the wall. She wanted to run, but there was no opening for her to escape.

CTARR!!!

A single lash escaped the girl's leg. The pain began to radiate throughout her body, evident from Sera's expression as she bit her lower lip. The girl covered her mouth and tried to stifle her screams. Her face turned red, and she closed her eyes tightly. It was as if she felt that night was the end of her life.

"Clever! If I hear you scream, then you'll be in pain until morning!" threatened Evan.

'Moon Goddes, please help me. I can't face Evan like this,' Sera thought to herself.

CTTAARR! CTAARR! CTTAARR!

I don't know how many lashes it was. Sera began to feel her legs bleeding. It stung. It hurt. She felt almost paralyzed. However, Evan was completely out of control and didn't want to end it.

Sera's body began to stagger. Her vision began to blur. What little consciousness Sera had left gave her the courage to say something.

"Evan...I didn't kill your father." Sera's voice was low, but she was sure the Alpha heard her clearly. She saw the man stop his whipping and stare intently at the girl.

Then, suddenly, Sera's vision darkened. Everything went black, and she didn't know what happened next.

A few moments later.

Sera, who was still lying on her worn-out bed, began to blink her eyes to adjust to the incoming light. She winced as she tried to move; her whole body felt crushed. Then she held her head, which was very heavy. The girl struggled to sit up and tried to remember what had happened to her.

"Are you awake?" Sera turned her head to see a voice coming from behind her.

"Mistress Lisa." Madame Lisa was the butler of the pack. She was a nice person, although her expression was always flat.

"Eat this, finish it!" Madame Lisa handed over a bowl of porridge.

The woman's treatment often made Seraphine feel strange. While everyone hated her and treated her like crap, Madame Lisa was always fair to me.

"Thank you, Lady Lisa. But how did you know about my situation?" Sera asked curiously.

"I accidentally saw you last night. That's it, don't ask any more questions. Get some rest because tonight is the birthday party and coronation of Alpha Evander.

Seraphina's head instantly throbbed. She still couldn't forget what happened last night. However, she still had to go to the party as Luna Freya had requested.

"Mistress Lisa, why are you being nice to me?" Sera asked bravely.

"Because you are the real Luna," was the short answer. After saying that, Lisa left Seraphina.

***

Seraphina walked into the party held in the garden of the pack mansion. The garden was so beautiful with its contrasting arrangement.

As the woman walked in wearing Luna Freya's beautiful gift dress topped with Swarovski crystals, it was as if her body shone as the moonlight illuminated the crystals. Everyone immediately stared at her. Her insecurities instantly made her nervous.

"You're really beautiful, Sera." Luna Freya's voice greeted the girl and immediately hugged her.

"Your gift dress is really beautiful," Sera praised. "I really like it.

Sera's hazel eyes swept her surroundings. She caught sight of Evan chatting happily with Elara. When Evan and Sera's gazes met, the man smiled sarcastically and turned his face away.

Sera squeezed a small wooden box with a light symbol carved in the center. It was a gift for Evan, containing an amber stone given to her by her late parents that she had designed into a beautiful pendant. However, she decided against it. The atmosphere didn't allow it.

Someone's voice broke Seraphina's reverie. She saw a pack elder begin to ascend the stage. Followed by Evan. Meanwhile, in the center of the stage, there was already a large silver cup and a dagger. Everyone was focused on Evan's coronation as an Alpha Aurora Guardians Pack.

"Do you, Evander Silverhowl, want to become the Alpha of the Aurora Guardians Pack and swear to be a wise leader for his people? Take on all the responsibilities of an Alpha and protect your pack and people with your own life?" The elder's voice rang out loudly.

"I, Evander Silverhowl, am willing to become the Alpha of the Aurora Guardians Pack and promise to be a wise leader. I swear to protect the pack with my own life."

Evander said the oath in his Alpha tone. Evander took the dagger next to the chalice and scratched his hand until blood flowed profusely, which immediately fell into the silver chalice.

The moonlight shone on the cup and made it sparkle as if the moon wanted to say, 'He is the True Alpha.' This meant that the Moon Goddes approved of Evan.

After the coronation was over, Evander quickly walked up to the microphone.

"Thank you all for making time for the mini mala. I, Alpha Evan, would like to introduce the future Luna Aurora Guardians to you all." Evan's deep voice was heard throughout the party.

Seraphina looked nervous. Her heart was beating fast. Despite all the torture she had received, she still hoped Evan would consider her Luna's candidate.

"Elara Howlrunner"

Seraphina saw the figure of Elara coming up to the stage to Evander. Seraphina's body instantly froze. Her chest throbbed painfully with a feeling of utter devastation. Not only was she disappointed, but her body felt sluggish, and her knees felt boneless. The wooden box she was holding fell over.

"And to you, Seraphina. I cannot be your Mate."

Seraphina's tears escaped her. She hoped Evan wouldn't continue his sentence, but it wasn't what she expected.

"I'm Evander Silverhowl Alpha from Aurora Guardian..."

"No!" Seraphina shook her head strongly. Her tears were already flowing unstoppably.

"Reject you as a Mate."

"Stop it, Evan! Enough!" Seraphina shouted and covered her ears tightly. Everyone looked at her sarcastically.

'Get me out of here, Sera' lysandra scanned Sera.

Seraphina ran away from the party. She kept running until she entered the forest. She no longer felt the sting of Evan's lashes on her legs. Evan's words of accusation and humiliation continued to play in her head.

'Don't ever dream of being a Luna in this pack because it's not going to happen' was one of the sentences that actually came true.

Seraphina held her head tightly as she continued to run, "Aaakkh!" Seraphina screamed to reduce the pain.

The mate must not be separated. If her mate ejects her, the wolf inside her body will also die slowly, and so will Seraphina. The girl did not know where her feet would take her, but it was clear that Sera would not return. The lower part of her dress looked like it had many rips due to twig scratches.

Those two long legs ran all the way to the border of the pack. She had no idea where she was now. Her gaze was only focused on the gorge in front of her. The sound of the rushing waterfall seemed to deafen her ears.

The hazel eyes looked down; the rushing current was enough to send Seraphina straight to the afterlife.

'Sera, do it now!' Lysandra had given up as well. She even interlinked Seraphina.

'Are you sure?' Sera asked.

'There's no reason to stay, Sera. Evan has already rejected us. I can disappear without a mate. It's better now; I don't want to feel any more pain; I've been holding out, but I can't. I give up; Sera' Lysandra's voice sounded so heartbreaking.

Seraphina was completely broken, and there was no reason for her to stay. She lifted her face and looked up to see the moon shining very beautifully.

"Moon Goddes, is this the end of my life? I beg you, if I were to be reborn, I want to be born as a normal human," she said sadly.
