Chapter 77
They dragged me against my will, throwing me into a room and shutting the door behind me.
"Let me out!" I yell banging on the door, unable to carry on for much longer. I sit on the ground shivering in fear, what will be my faith?
I believe in the love we share Jaden.
Trying to initiate a mind link is like looking for electricity on a rock, his end is dead yet alive the curse of the mating.
The door opens, a while later and I stare hopefully only to see Riley step in her back straight and head held high.
The nerve of this lady, I stand from my spot facing her.
"What are you doing here Riley?" I know exactly what she's here for, to rub salt in my wounds.
"Haven't you caused enough damage?" I yell, the least I expected was to be left alone.
"Please save me the speech I'm here to advise you Hailey" She says waving her game.
"Ha!" I laugh hysterically irritated. "You're here to advise me? On what basis do you think anything thing out your evil mouth will be of use to anyone"
"Maybe if you have respect for what you have left and leave while you have the chance you will be better off striving on the streets than trying to get my position, I know you're already thinking of a way to attain it I'm here to save you the time and to kill the idea, leave now you have the chance"
"Leave I just got here Riley and I'm here to stay" She must be crazy thinking I'll give up so easily and let her win in her rarest dreams!
"A place you never belonged to from the start"
"How bold of you to say that claiming a position that's not yours" I snarl.
"You've been so blinded by your free will you don't see how unqualified you are to be Luna I've worked my ass off to get to this position, earned everything you were given freely stop acting like the world hates you and you have been deprived-
"I have been deprived" I yell interrupting her " Yes, I have been all my life, first forced into slavery and now banished by the very man I love"
"You think that's bad?" She scoffs, and feel the sudden urge to hit her at the spot.
"Hailey I have been rejected by my family because I am the girl with no wolf" She confesses her tone wavering.
Riley has no wolf? This information justifies why she has no mate, no scent no...
"Do you know how it feels to be rejected? You feel you were taken into captivity, I was a slave in my own home! even the servants in my pack were treated better than I was, at least when they get bruised they have their healing abilities all I had was myself because my mother was human; tricked by my father promised her everything she always dreamed of, but he lied and dumped her the moment he was done using her" She wipes her eyes and I stare stunned, this is the first time I've seen Riley cry or eager show any emotion.
The poor girl never felt loved.
"My mother couldn't raise me so she dropped me at my father's door he took me in because his mate couldn't bare a child and then vented all his anger on me because I had no wolf like I was in control of my faith, I had to work my ass off to get here to finally meet Jaden and there's no way I'm letting you take this away" I don't know if I should sympathize with her or slap her in the face.
"You are also a victim of the cruel ploy of faith but two wrongs don't make a right Jaden is ordained by the moon goddess herself I'm sure faith has something better for you"
"You don't get it do you, you had to wait for everything to work in your favor, I had to force everything to work in mine and I will stop at nothing to get the life I have always dreamed of " She finally regains her composure, her gaze sharp and stone cold. "That's where you're wrong Riley what happens when Jaden comes back to his sense and realize what you've done when he throws you out of this pack or kills you with his bare hands you can force anything but not true love, he doesn't love you he never did he never will"
Riley flares up, slapping me hard on the face.
"That is my business to worry about, you worry about yours last warning Hailey leave while you can"
"Let me through!" Dimitri shouts, forcing his way through the entrance.
"Leave and go on with your life, go somewhere far away now you still have someone to help you do it" She turns around and leaves through the door.
As cruel and selfish as she is, I can't help but feel for her discerning in a different light.
There's no pain greater than being hated by your own family but not in this way she might have worked her ass for this but I have done my part of suffering too.
Riley doesn't get it. I can't walk away and act as if nothing happened. Jaden has left his mark on me,my child is the evidence of our love.
Even under the serum or whatever thing they used on him I can feel him yearning for me. He had a choice to kill me out there but he didn't, that's a caged heart seeking release.
Riley has a chance to leave but not me, she can have all the fame, fortune, and adoration but never the love of my mate, at the end of the day she'll still be reliving her childhood atrociousness. "You're alright Hailey" Dimitri whispers.
I look up at him clueless.
Wrapping me in his arms I rest on his shoulders, this is not over.
