SERENA
“It’s time for the vows Please begin The pack priest said.
With a burning beans. I watched as my step sister Amelia and my mare shared their marital vow Here I was seated in the front seat watching my mate get married to my step sister and all of this was happening because I allowed it to happen.

I Astrop of tears slipped down my cheek and I wiped it off immediately, I watched as Amelia said her vows with so much happiness in her face
1 should be the one exchanging vows with him. It should be mine smiling this way. I shouted in my head as I watched Amelia speak
“It’s all your fault. You have no one to blame but yourself. My wolf Stella said to me and I clenched my fist.
Of course, it’s my fault. I was the one who rejected him. I was the one who chose to protect the woman who raised me over
him
1 rejected him so I should face the consequences.
My stepmother and Amelia came to my room on the night of my 21st birthday and demanded- more like threatened me to reject my mate and refuse to marry him.
wedding.
I didn’t understand why and asked. It didn’t make sense to me as to why I had to reject my mate a week before our we “Are you serious? Why would someone like you end up with someone like Alpha Kane?“My stepmother scolded harshly. You will reject him when he comes to you tonight and tell him that you cannot marry him, do you understand?” She stated and I shook my head, refusing to understand.
How can she force me to reject my mate and for what reason? “I cannot.”
“Oh shut up! Why won’t you!” Amelia chided.
“I’m sure you know the state of your nanny’s condition and I’m sure you know the only reason that she’s receiving treatment is because of me right! If you won’t do as told then I will make sure that she stops receiving treatment and eventually dies just like your mother,” my stepmother remarked and I felt my stomach churn
“The choice is in your hands, Serena. Reject your mate as I have told you or watch as I make your nanny join your mother and also tell Alpha Kane that you are going to bring back luck to his pack just as you have to everyone that has ever loved you,” she said spitefully.
Tears filled my eyes. My stepmother has always been harsh to me but it was mostly her using objects to hit me and shout at me. Who would know that her words would be more than a knife cut?
“You don’t have any choice Serena because it’s either you lose one or you lose all. Reject Alpha Kane and save your nanny or refuse to reject him and watch your nanny die and not just that, watch as I tell Alpha Kane the misfortune you carry with you. Either way, you’d end up losing”
I agreed to their demands and that night I coldly rejected Alpha Kane. I couldn’t sleep the whole night as I cried in pain.
To
ake things worse they made sure I got to attend the wedding against my will using my nanny to threaten me once again nd made sure I sat on the front row to watch my mate get married to my step–sister.
quickly wiped the tears that slipped down tny check but it only worsened as more tears slipped down my cheek.

I was able to control it but it was hard for me to sit down and keep watching them. This day was supposed to be my happiest day as I’d finally be free from my mother and stepsister and the torture but instead, it became my worst nightmare.
1 Alpha Kane Rodeo, son of late Alpha Finn Rodeo accept to marry Amelia Andrew, daughter of Mateo Andrew’s, and accept her as my Luna. I vow to love her, to cherish her, and to take her happy Alpha Kane said his vows and I felt my stomach churn from immense pain.
I wanted to leave but I felt someone’s hand on my shoulder preventing me from doing so. From my peripheral view, I saw my stepmother with a smile on her face.
She was preventing me from leaving and she was enjoying seeing me in torture. I knew she never wanted the best for me but going this far to make me feel this way is the way of a monster and I consider her nothing but a monster.
“I told you, didn’t I? I won’t be alive and watch you be happy. Why? Because you don’t deserve it, she whispered beside me and I didn’t fail to notice the smirk on her face.
I bit on my inner check, controlling myself so that I don’t lose control and embarrass myself.
“It is done. With the power invested in me by the moon goddess, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride,” the pack priest said.
With tears blurring my vision, I watched as Kane kissed Amelia. The congregation all clapped in cheers and I used that as an opportunity to leave.
I walked as fast as I could because I couldn’t stand it anymore. I couldn’t watch them anymore and not scream in agony. I wanted to find a place to hide and forget what I had seen.
Instead of going back home, I went to town and into a bar to drink and forget my sorrows.
“A shot of your hardest drink please,” I said to the bartender as I took a seat.
“Alright.” The bartender replied.
He returned shortly with a drink and immediately I saw it, I drank it and asked for more.
“Another one,” I requested again.
I continuously ordered more shots and I lost count of the number of shots I had ordered.
I drank to the point I no longer had any thoughts in my head and all I felt was a headache. I was no longer feeling pain. I felt numb and I liked it. I watched as people danced on the dance floor and I liked it.
It felt exciting. I haven’t danced before. I never had the chance to and I wanted to try it. So, I went to the dance floor and began to dance, swaying my ass and moving my body to the sound of the music.

It was refreshing and exciting and I loved it. I felt a hand snake around my waist and the smell of an expensive my nostrils. Usually, I wasn’t the type of person and I would have taken the hands of the stranger off me but the alcohol was doing a lot.
“You dance so well, pretty lady,” the stranger whispered in my ears and I shuddered from the close proximity.
I giggled at his words instead and continued to dance on him. He spun me around so that I would be facing him. My arms went around his neck as he placed his hand on my waist. My eyes met his then and I shuddered from the beauty of his blue
eyes.
They were like the sea and hypnotising at the same time. The stranger standing in front of me was an example of a Greek god. Although I was drunk, I could still tell that he was blessed with the best facial features ever. His nose was perfect and he had extremely long lashes making the border of his eyes have uniquely dark highlights.
