ELENA’S POV
With tears streaming down my eyes, I walked up to Tyler and gripped his hand. Looking into his eyes, there was no atom of remorse for what he was doing. I had thought he had gone insane, but that was a lie, he was in his right senses. He took his hand away from me and pushed me backward making me stumble.
I almost fell to the ground because I had lost my balance, but I managed to stand still. “Why would you reject me after everything I did for you? If you had never wanted me, why would you let me waste my life and resources on you?” I roared, that was all I could do.
It was disheartening, because there was no way I could take from him all the things I offered him. Is it my body? Or the money I worked hard for which I used to see him through? Then this is what I get in return after several years of being with him. “You're nothing but a beast!” I screamed, followed by a heavy hit on my face.
My eyes grew wide to see the lady who I can't tell her name, but she's the one Tyler chose to replace me. “What gave you the guts to use swear words on the Alpha king? Have you gone nuts? Do you think you're worthy to be the Alpha’s Luna huh?” she folded her arms, glaring at me while I watched. “This gathering isn't for people like you…”
“Are you going to pay me the money I wasted on him since he's now your Alpha?” I asked politely, that was the most bitter part of it. Working my ass off and making sure he gets that position only for him to choose another woman as his Luna. “if you will, then I'll leave quietly.'' I added, taking slow steps closer to her.
I don't care if we were in the midst of the crowd gathered for his coronation, besides, who would believe that he will choose me over another woman?
“When you lavished your money on him, what was your expectation? That he will choose a low-rank female like you as his Luna? Neither the ministers nor his family wants you—you're too low class for him.” she retorted and dashed out of my presence.
I went dumb, having nothing to say again. He held the bitch and they walked to his throne. “Is this what it means to fall in love with a man? Will I ever make this mistake again in this life?'' I breathed out. “Relationship isn't for the weak, and no low rank should date a high-rank werewolf.'' I bit my lower lips aggressively.
Hot tears streamed down my uncontrollably, enraging me. I matched forward to his throne while the crowd murmured. There's no way I'll be weak before him. Staring into his eyes, I told him what he wasn't expecting. “You'll regret this! Trust me!!” I turned and walked away, but stumbled on an elderly woman that has the same looks just like me.
She looked familiar, so I began contemplating where I met her for the first time. “Greetings!” I bowed to her and made a move but she obstructed my way. Something was off, I noticed that the moment he showed up before the crowd, there were lots of hailings. Even Tyler had that weird look on his face like he saw a ghost.
“Ma’am, what can I do for you?'' I asked. All I want is to know what she's up to that made her pull me back. She turned to me. “I want you to stay back and hear me out because you are worth being here,” she replied to the hearing of everyone.
I sighed and then nodded. “Fine, if that's what you want, I'll do it because of you and not for this jerk.'' I pointed at Tyler angrily.
She scoffed and walked forward to Tyler, they exchanged pleasantries and then he stood before everyone and signaled me to come forward. I was still not getting what was going on, but I had to comply. I walked beside her, trying to figure out the resemblance between us and then assuring myself that people of different packs can look–alike.
“As you all know, I am the first wife of the Lycan King,” she announced, causing lots of noise from the crowd, and then they paid her respect. Seeing that she isn't known made me know that she is not familiar with letting the world know her—or, why will my pack members, especially the older ones, be narrow-minded about her being the Lycan King’s wife?
I glanced at her and sniffed. “Who knows the role I'm about to play here, she's a Lycan and I'm a Werewolf.”
