I couldn’t even get a word of
out of my mouth as the man crawled to my feet begging for forgiveness,
This has to be a joke.
“Please have mercy on me, Lana. Don’t let them take me away, please.” he cried, grabbing on to my “Let go of me!” I moved away from him, “I don’t know this man. I’ve never ever seen him before.”
foot.
“You don’t know him yet you hired him to beat up Poppy! Collins growled. “Because of your stupid jealousy, I am about to lose my first seed! How could you be so heartless!“.
I looked at him in disbelief
“Why would you even think that? You have known me for a very long time, Collins. I have never hurt anyone
Until now!” He fired. ‘I don’t even know who you are anymore! First, you attacked Poppy in her room and refused to apologise: then you hired goons to bear her up! How low do you intend to stoop before you’ve had enough!”
1 flinched, backing away from him as he glared at me in anger.
“I didn’t do it. I swear…” My eyes stung with unshed tears. “I would never do something like that! I don’t know who this man is, but he is lying please believe me.
My pleas fell on deaf ears. With the man insisting I sent him, it was obvious that no one was going to take my side. I was doomed. “Pray to the goddess that nothing happens to Poppy or my baby. Else, you will regret the day you met me. Guards, arrest her!”
“Please don’t do this, Collins,” I pleaded desperately. “I didn’t do anything, I swear to you!”
No one listened to me as they dragged me away. I was thrown into the pack cell and denied food and water.
Tears streamed down my cheeks as I hugged myself in the darkness. I was left there for four whole days.
I was too weak to even cry as my stomach twisted tightly in hunger. How long will they leave me down here? Will I ever get out?
On the fifth day, I was finally released for my verdict. The pack members were gathered once again and I didn’t miss the sneers on their faces.
It was crazy how people who once loved and adored me looked at me like I was a demon.
Poppy was seated beside Collins. There were bruises all over her face, and she looked so fragile, but when our eyes connected, she threw me a smirk.
That singular action made me realise that it was all part of her genius plan to throw me out. She had given me twenty–four hours to leave on my own, and 1 disregarded her words, now she was going to make me leave in utter disgrace.
My fists clenched by my side. The desperate bitch would do anything to take Collins for me, even if it meant killing her baby.
If there was a baby at all.
“After much deliberation with the pack Elders, we have agreed to strip you of your position as Luna and you from the Gray Moon pack,” Collins declared, and my knees went weak.
Tears gathered in my eyes as I thought about all that I sacrificed to be with him. Did all those years mean nothing to him that he could easily discard me like I never existed?
My cheat constricted tightly as he walked to me.
“I Collins Owen, hereby reject you, Joanne Owen, as mate. You must flee this pack and never return else you will be killed on sight!” He said coldly
“Collins. ” 1 whimpered, reaching for his hands but he snatched it from me, shooting daggers at me.
“It is Alpha to you!” He growled. “Escort her to the pack borders. If she tries to resist, kill her.”
My jaw dropped as the tears rolled down. What exactly did I do to deserve this ill–treatment? I was more than eighty percent certain that the woman he was punishing me for was totally bine.

She was just a snake.
was manhandled by the guards, who dragged me roughly to the pack borders. I had never felt more humiliated in my life.
All for what! Love!
They cast me out and pointed their spears at me, ready to attack if I dared to make a move.
I didn’t plan to. He made it clear that I was no longer needed and that there was nothing I could do about it. Poppy was the woman of his dreams
I wiped my tears, swearing to myself that I would waste my tears on him again. I cursed the day I met him. The day I made the stupid decision to leave my family and follow him.
I helped him build his miserable pack to where it is today, but he didn’t think twice before crushing my heart.
Anger coursed through my veins. He will surely regret this. Even if it’s the last thing I do. I will surely bring Collins Owen to his knees.
I could imagine my parents‘ face when I returned home, battered and heartbroken. They would surely remind me that they warned me against marrying into a small and useless pack but I refused, insisting I was in love,
A scoff fell off my lips.
To hell with love, I was going put me through
