Longing For My Rejected Luna

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

"Erika!"

"Not now, Kat!" I yelled back as I stomped my way into the packhouse.

"Can you just hear us out?" Even Cindy chimed in.

"No!" I replied harshly, making sure they got my point when I said the big no.

"Erika please...." Kat called out again and pulled me by my arm.

Everyone seemed to love pulling my arm lately.noveldrama

She turned me around to face her and glared at me.

"Can you quit with that attitude?!"

"No, so what?" I asked, folding my arms on my chest.

"Erika, I know you're...."

"Wait a sec." I interrupted her, raising my hand to halt her words.

"Before you start going on about how Alex is begging for my forgiveness and

wants me back, let me tell you something. I made a deal with my father. I signed a contract promising that I would never be with another man after my divorce. I

would serve this pack alone..."

"And what about your legacy? Didn't either of you consider that?" She

immediately fired back, leaving me speechless.

"Cat got your tongue, huh?"

I rolled my eyes and replied, "Look, I don't give a damn about Alex anymore. I can't just go back to him. Let me explain why I don't care about him and why I don't want to go back. I will never forgive him for the humiliation he put me through. Even though he didn't know my true identity back then, wasn't he supposed to listen to his wife, support her, and not believe Serenity's lies? He accused me of wanting to harm Serenity and actually believed her. He divorced me. So why should I even consider going back to him? I won't."

"Erika, listen...."

"Listen up, Kat! I'm done listening to you. From now on, I want absolutely nothing to do with the Moonforest Pack. No one from that pack is welcome here, except for Paula. If Alex is dumb enough to set foot anywhere near this packhouse, I give full permission to lock him up for trespassing. This is my turf now, and I won't tolerate any more nonsense. Got it?"

With those words said, I turned around to head to the meeting room where the elders awaited my arrival for the meeting.

Again, Kat was persistent.

She pulled my arm again, turning me to face her.

"Kat...." I drawled, just about to lash out when she said, "Alex is not at fault, Erika."

"Oh yeah, I'm the one at fault." I nodded in agreement and snorted.

"Listen to me, It all started with your father. I'm sorry to say this, but if anyone is to blame for the recent happenings and for your marriage failure, it should be your father and not Alex."

"Excuse me?" I asked, raising a questioning brow, "My father is what? That my father is responsible? What the fuck are you saying to me now Katrina?"

She sighed, rubbing her temples as if to sooth the headache coming in.

"This whole thing began with your fathers. It began with your father, Gridshade and Serenity's father. If they hadn't known each other then and had that failed business filled with nothing but lies and greed, this day would never come." She reasoned, removing her hair from her face.

"What are you trying to say? You want to blame it all on the past? Kat you can't justify Alex's actions. He believed another woman that wasn't me.... Let's say Jace does that with Tasyra. He believes Tasyra over you in everything, How would that make you feel?"

"I'll kill him."

"Exactly, I also want to kill Alex."

"But Erika...."

"We've said enough for the day, I'll be in the meeting room." I said and turned to leave.

This time she didn't stop me from leaving as I walked out of the room to the meeting room.

I pushed down every talk about Alex as I walked into the room. The Pack elders

all stood up to acknowledge me as I came in to sit.

"Greetings Alpha Erika." They echoed and I nodded in return.

"Hello Elders."

We all sat down as I took a sip of the wine before me.

This meeting was hosted on behalf of the current happenings in the pack.

The thing about Noir and his mother also.

"As you all know, there was an explosion just outside the pack a few days ago, and I'm sorry to inform you that the Luna Queen of the Thunderclaw pack is dead. announced and watched their faces for reactions.

Their reactions weren't much, considering the Thunderclaw pack were another pack of their own. They could worry for themselves.

"Alpha, can I ask a question about the previous Alpha, your father?" One of the elders began and I had no choice but to comply.

"What is the case of Alpha Jerome currently?" He asked as a serious look appeared on his face. I bit my lower lip and explained.

"We've delivered all the necessary treatments to him and just hope that one day he will eventually wake up. The doctor said it could be in some years to come. So yes, the Alpha would be fine." I assured him.

The elder shook his head pitifully as he refrained from asking anymore questions.

"There is bigger news at hand. The master minder behind the never ending targets this pack has been facing, has been found out. We aim to catch her soon and punish her for the crimes she has committed."

"A she?" One of the elders asked.

"Yes, she is a female and her name is Serenity Wren."
