Longing For My Rejected Luna

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

So the person whom I had killed that day on the cliff was Serenity's brother?

I listened carefully, despite freezing as she explained her brother's side of the story and how he came forward, towards me.

Because of that electrocution just now, I felt my senses dull and exhaustion sipping into my bones.

I felt light headed, the gag on my mouth adding to my discomfort, but I could clearly make out some of the words from them.

I watched Serenity acting like the victim and I as the Villainess who killed her innocent brother.

If I hadn't killed her brother, he would have killed me. So everything I did was also out of self defense.

But all these were the least of my worries, my main surprise was that Alex was helping. He was actually confronting Serenity on my behalf.

I watched in silence as their conversations continued.

"Serenity, leave Erika alone. You don't need to punish her, it was all self defense."

"Say that again and I'll drop her down there." Serenity replied with a psychopathic smile.

Alex swallowed and turned in my direction again, but I averted my gaze from his. "Don't drop it." He said in a soft tone. "What if I propose something?"

I frowned at that question, proposing what?

"Propose what?" She asked.

"Since you've always wanted me, I'll give myself to you but in exchange, you have to let Erika go."

At those words, I felt my heartbeat accelerate and before I could hold myself back, I found myself shaking my head and trying to lash out at Serenity.

How dare Alex make such a proposal?!

Serenity's face broke out into a small smile as she stared between me and Alex.

"I could consider that." She said and I shook my head again.

She raised a questioning brow at me, "why are you shaking your head? Don't tell me you still feel something for him after everything he did to you?"

I blinked, her words bringing me back to reality. Indeed, why was I reacting this way?

After everything he did to me, I am supposed to loathe him so much and wish him evil, but I did nothing of such and even want to safe.

I looked up at Alex and his gaze met mine as well.

We stared at each other for a while, before I averted my gaze to fix it on Serenity.

I gulped, not being able to understand how I feel at the moment.

"I'll take your silence as a no, you don't love him. So I'll have him."

I clenched my fist in anger, envisioning the union of Alex and Serenity. It left a sore taste on my tongue just imagining them together.

I hated Alex for how he treated me, but I just couldn't find myself hating him at this point. He did everything he did in the past because he was manipulated by that bitch. Kat was right that he has changed. He is willing to give himself in exchange for me to be saved.

"Someone go loosen her up." I heard her say and a guard began to walk forward.

I breathed in and out, knowing that I would be set free from these shackles soon.

Finally, the guard loosened all the cables and brought me down. I fell on my knees the moment my feet touched the ground.

Jace rushed over to me while the other guards pulled Alex over.

The same spray that was sprayed in my face, the one that weekend my Alpha strength was also sprayed on him and he went weak.

Serenity beamed at me and said, let you go today because he saidd should I can forgive all of you as long as Alex and I get mated to each other."

Over my dead body will I let Alex end up with that lady.

I mustered up the strength and flung the dagger had stolen from the guard who loosened me in his direction. The silver blade went through and the guard dropped dead, leaving just one guardand Serenity.

A small smirk formed on my face the moment I saw the horror that flashed in her eyes.

"How dare you?!" She shrieked, and my guards already surrounded her, trapping her in a circle and rendering her helpless.

Serenity glared at me and said, "I gave you one chance to be set free, but you chose to be stupid. Now watch how I destroy you and all your men."The moment she finished those words, silver blades flew from different directions towards my men. The blades killed albmy men in one swift motion. noveldrama

Dread filled me as I glanced at Jace who glared at her.

But I saw no one around, the people that might have flung those blades out.

Serenity laughed out loud, finally losing it as she stared at me with a smirk.

"You know, I would have killed your brother as exchange for mine, but he isn't a blackwood."

There goes that talk about not being a Blackwood.

"What do you mean he is not a Blackwood?!" I yelled out, angering clouding my

mind hearing all of these.

She smiled and looked at Jace, "Why don't you tell her?"

I blinked at those words, then turned to Jace.

"Jace, tell me what? What are you hiding from me?" I asked, my voice betraying

the confidence I was trying to portray.

Jace bit his lips and averted his gaze.

"Erika..." he drawled.

I clenched my fist and asked through gritted teeth.

"Jace...... Tell me the truth, Are you a Blackwood or not?"

He stayed silent for a while and finally decided to spill the truth.

"I am not a Blackwood."

I shivered at those words, the same words I wished would be a lie all these while.

"If you're not a Blackwood, then who are you?!" I yelled out as tears began to fall from my eyes.

How could this happen?

"I am a Hart. Jace Hart, the rightful heir to the Thunderclaw pack Alpha position."
