Longing For My Rejected Luna

*****Erika's POV*****

My ear rang in shock and I put the phone away from my ear for few seconds to enable it return to its normal state.

What was wrong with him? Why had he thundered in my ear that way? I had one mind to end this call.

I caught the look on Paula's and Kat's faces, they had heard his loud voice and were looking confused.

"Hello, Alex" I greeted, mustering calmness.

"I asked where the hell you are?!" He was raging. I could literally feel his body tremble with rage.

"Any reason why you're asking?" I asked, that calmness not leaving my tone.

"Don't you dare play games with me. Have you forgotten the atrocious act you committed? Have you?!" He roared.

I distanced the phone from my ear. He was determined to make me go deaf. "Can you stop yelling? It definitely won't get you anywhere" I calmly told him.

"If I find you, I will make sure you regr..."

Something snapped in me. Maybe it was the pain of what he'd done to me or the fact that Cindy was growling angrily in my head over the fact that a lowly Alpha was addressing us without respect or regard.

"Don't you dare raise your damn voice at me again!" My voice had thickened with anger. "You hear me? Don't you dare!"

"You speak to an Alpha like that? You weak Omega!" He insulted.

The laughter that emanated from my throat was neither sunny nor mirthful. It was sharp and mean. "You call yourself an Alpha, yet you don't know what's going on in your pack? An Alpha, yet you can't control your crazy wanton needs!" I was shouting now and I couldn't care less.

"Wanton needs? Is that what this is about? You're jealous of Serenity? Is that why you tried killing her?!"

"I don't care what you think of me, Alex. I do and I don't even care what you want

to think. But I do know one thing, I have never been happier that our mate bond was dissolved"

Liar, liar, pants on fire Erika.

I was lying and I knew it, but he didn't know it.

Even my friends had surprise written on their faces, they didn't believe me, I knew it. But just this once, it felt nice to make Alex feel just how he had made me feel all those years I remained married to him.

He growled. "Me too."

"Good. Now, the right thing to do is to never contact each other ever again" Though he couldn't see my expression, I kept my face expressionless.

"You will not tell me wha..."

I didn't even let him finish, I hung up the call.

So infuriating!

His anger was misplaced. How dare he?

One war declared on his pack and he was gone!

Him and everything that represented him as an Alpha.

But I wasn't him, I wasn't going to do it. No, I wasn't. Because I was a better person than him. A better werewolf.

"What was that about?" Paula asked.

"Nothing" I gulped my drink, emptying my glass and climbed out of the bed to pace around.

Alex had angered me with his call.

He had really allowed me let loose the anger I had been trying to keep in check. If

he dared dial my number again, I wouldn't take it lightly with him.

My phone rang again, I ignored it. I knew it was him, the bastard! Shameless bastard! He didn't even care to know how I was.

After three years, he couldn't even care to ask about my welfare after today's event.

He had the guts to ask about my location just because he wanted to punish me for Serenity's sake.

He still believed I was the devil and Serenity was the angel. The blind bastard!

If only he could see.

If only he knew what he was doing.

Serenity wasn't a good person but of course, my darling ex-mate was not bothered about that.

He was too blinded by her phony attitude to see who the real Serenity was.noveldrama

Anyone who could stab herself so deep and put her life on the line just to destroy someone else shouldn't be written off so carelessly. I had no idea what or who Serenity was, but I was no longer going to allow anyone step on me ever again.

The phone was still ringing but I ignored it still. That bastard, he would keep

calling and I wasn't going to pay him mind.

"What did he tell you, darling?" Kat inquired. She and Paula had twin concerned looks on their faces.

I stared at them, then released a

breath. Went back to join them on the bed. "He yelled at me. That crazy bastard yelled at me" i struggled to tamp my anger.

Paula patted my hand comfortingly, Kat rubbed my back, establishing support and

care.

My chest constricted and before I could control it, I was bawling my eyes out.

"You'll be fine, darling." Kat soothed.

"You're strong. Soon you'll become Alpha and Alwx will eat his words" Paula joined in, offering her support as well.

"I just don't know why I let him get to me" I sobbed.

"Because you still love him, and it's only natural you react this way" Kat responded.

"But I believe with time, you'll get over him. You'll show him who's boss by the

time the Moon Goddess blessed you with another mate" Paula added.

That talk again.

I'm still not going to tell them.

"I don't even know if I want to deal

know

with this mate thing anymore, I'm just tired. just want to forget this even happened. Forget this call, the last three years, the marriage.

annulment and mate bond dissolution. Forget Serenity and her crazy antics to ruin my life. I just want to forget everything."

I said instead.

"With time, you will" Paula comforted.

"Here, take this. Let's drink and forget all about Alexander and Serenity" Kat

refilled my glass and handed it to me.

Buying into her idea, I wrapped my fingers around the glass in acceptance. I

sniffled and wiped my eyes.

"To freedom" Paula toasted.

"To the future Alpha of Iron Claw!" Kat added.

I chuckled softly. "To the best friends in the whole wide world"
