Longing For My Rejected Luna novel Chapter 10

*****Alex's POV*****

Dissolving the mate bond?

I scoffed in utter disbelief as I and Erika stood before the altar of the moon goddess.

Erika was really taking this too far and I had thought she was just joking when she said she wanted to dissolve the mate bond and get a divorce.

It wasn't until she signed those divorce papers without hesitation that I knew she was very serious about all these.

Well I couldn't care less what she was trying to achieve by doing all these, I felt nothing for her by the way.

So I could never be affected by her brainless decisions.

"You have to stop this, Alex" Elijah began again and I was so close to snapping.

He really knew when to ruin a person's moods.

"This is what she wants, why should I stop?" I asked him in a tone that seemed rather off, one that wasn't my usual way of sounding.

"She is doing all these because she is mad at you. If only you could beg her and tell her to forget about everything and start all over, then_"

"Alright that's enough" I cut him off, not believing the things he just said. “Are you being serious right now? Apologize to Erika?" I snorted and just looked ahead at the altar before me.

I would rather be a slave than apologize to Erika.

Just then, some pack elders assembled around the altar and looked at the both of us.

"Alpha Alex, Luna Erika. Is this what you both really want?" One of the elders asked again to be sure of this sudden decision of ours.

"Yes!" I and Erika said simultaneously and I turned to look at her stoic expression.

"See, she doesn't even want to stay" I told the whining Elijah.

"Just apologize and she'll stay"

This time, I ignored him and focused back on the task at hand.

The elders did a few things, I couldn't quite understand as everyone watched patiently.

The entire pack members were present, including my mum, sis and Seren, of course.

Everyone looked in anticipation as I got this thing over with.

Erika had no one on her side, then I remembered her background.

She was just a lowly Omega when I saw her for the first time that day and realized she was my mate.

So definitely she had no one to stand with her. Only the goddess knew how she would survive once she left the walls of this pack.

If she wanted, as my ex mate, I could offer her a place to stay in the pack and maybe she could be Seren's personal maid.

That would elevate her life even more.

The elders of the pack had just completed their solemn rituals, and now it was time for Erika and me to take our place in this sacred act of separation.

With a deep breath, I knelt down beside Erika, feeling the coolness of the stone floor beneath me. The air was heavy with anticipation as the elders instructed us to close our eyes and offer our prayers to the moon goddess.

At that moment, everything seemed to fade away. The sounds of the world around me became distant whispers, and the only thing that mattered was the connection between Erika and me, now on the brink of dissolution.

I closed my eyes, my mind filled with a mix of emotions. I knew this was the right path for me, since she chose the separation.
