Longing For My Rejected Luna novel Chapter 3

********ERIKA'S POV********

Never in a million years did I ever think that I would hear such words from Alex.

My eyes were fixed solely on his face, neglecting the intense pain coming from my chin.

His death grip was extremely painful, but the pain didn't match up to the one I felt in my heart.

I had loved Alex for three years. I did everything for him, sacrificed everything just to be by his side and be a good Luna for his pack.

But it seems like not everyone deserved sacrifices.

How could he trust a woman whom he hadn't seen for the past seven years over me who had been with him for three years?

Serenity just came back two days ago and he already trusted her?

Was it because of her looks?

Sure, Serenity was beautiful and dainty, But I wasn't bad looking either.

"You're much prettier than that bitch" Cindy added and I almost nodded in approval.

But Alex kept choosing her. Choosing her over his own mate.

"Alex..." I tried to call out to him in the most sweetest voice I believed I had.

But he pushed my face away and groaned in anger.

He turned again to look at me and said, "Erika, be good and apologize to Seren"

But I still wouldn't budge and just shook my head.

Why should I apologize to that dog?

"I won't apologize" I said again, my head lowered.

Murmurs filled the surrounding as everyone began talking about me.

I couldn't care less about them. They didn't want to believe me, so why should I be bothered about how they saw me?

"Alex, believe me this once, I didn't push her....." I was still saying when suddenly as fast as the wind, Alex turned and grabbed my neck harshly.

My eyes widened as I felt him choke me.

"Erika you will kneel and apologize to Seren right here, right now!" He said in his Alpha voice and I froze.

Did Alex hate me that much?

Just what does that Serenity mean to him?

I felt my breath leaving me slowly and I began to struggle for air, holding tightly to his arms as my tears poured down heavily.

"Al_Al_Alex..." I clutched to his arm tightly, hoping he would let me go and let me take a breather.

Gage seemed to have noticed that I was really choking, he rushed over and held Alex, trying to get his hands off my neck.

"Alex stop, you're choking her!" He yelled and pulled Alex back immediately.

From the corner of my eyes, I saw Serenity smirk with a wink.

"That bitch!" Cindy growled in anger as I fell to the floor, clutching to my neck.

Alex looked down at me and ran a hand through his hair.

"Erika, apologize quickly!" Gage was the one who spoke, but I ignored him, still lying breathless on the floor.

"You think your stubbornness would get you anywhere?!" Alex snarled.

I still ignored him, trying to catch my breath.

Alex wasn't pleased with my actions and he walked up to me again. He pulled me up harshly and I winced, but he didn't seem to care.
