CHAPTER ONE.
NITA'S POV.
“I, Justin Larson reject you worthless, low-rank omega, as my mate and future Luna” I heard the crown prince say, and I fell to the floor in a loud yell, feeling my heart cracking resulting in excruciating pain.
“Meanwhile, I choose Gia Armstrong as my chosen mate and Luna, for she is more worthy of the position” Justin, the crown prince added and everyone gasped. Some people threw me on the floor, with pitiful looks, while others mocked me and said I deserved it.
' What did I do wrong?' I wondered. I was an orphan, an omega, and an outcast. Mistreated, humiliated, and belittled by everyone.
I was always taken advantage of and bullied. My feelings were never cared for, instead, I was trampled upon and became everyone's slave.
Tonight, which happens to be the full moon festival, for the night was a full moon. I was supposed to be happy and rejoicing but no one allowed me to.
I stood in a corner, admiring the moon, when I perceived the most delicious scent ever, with my barely alive wolf flipping in excitement.
I knew instantly my mate was nearby, and I had to find him. I started chasing the scent, and made my way deep into the crowd, to see everyone dancing happily and rejoicing.
Suddenly I bumped into someone, and from the pleasurable scent I was perceiving, I knew I bumped into my mate. I was excited and raised my head, to know who it was.
I was left speechless, for my mate, turned out to be no one other than the arrogant, prideful crown prince and soon-to-be Alpha of my pack.
I was happy, but knew deep down inside, I should be expecting rejection. I knew and had the feeling he was going to reject me, and like I thought. He did.
At first, he froze, probably realizing I was his mate. The next thing I knew, he, or should I say his wolf, released a loud howl before he turned to glare at me furiously.
I shivered at the intense hate I witnessed in his eyes, and could feel my heart crumbling into pieces.
“ How could the moon goddess be so cruel?” He growled, attracting everyone's attention and I trembled.
Just then, my nemesis, Gia, who never failed to make my life miserable, came and instantly wrapped her arms possessively around Justin, while glaring diggers at me.
" Baby, what is wrong?" She asked and I think I saw a look of fear, flash across her eyes.
" The moon goddess has betrayed me" Justin yelled, earning whispers from everyone, who were probably wondering what was going on.
" What do you mean my love?" Gia asked, confused.
" Please stop speaking in parables and explain," She pleaded.
" I just found out now that this little, unwanted tart is my mate” He growled. I felt tears at the brim of my eyes, at his words and what he called me.
' My mate called me unwanted ' I thought, as I scoffed in disbelief while looking into his eyes, filled with hatred and disgust for me.
I was used to this bale-filled look from everyone, but the fact that it was coming from him, it was coming from my mated mate, hurt like hell.
