Chapter 6

Anna

To say I was dumbfounded was an understatement. I stood there watching Sean and Cherry on the bed. My legs started to shake until they couldn't hold me up anymore and I almost fell but held myself up with the door handle. The noise caught their attention and Sean and Cherry both turned to look at me. Adelaide, seeing what was going on began to whine.

Sean's eyes studied me as I stood there, panting. His eyes didn't look like they held remorse only annoyance for my interruption. My heart hurt. Looking back at Cherry, he pulled out of her and got down from the bed. He went to where his sweatpants were on the floor and picked them up. He wore them and stood facing me. Cherry who was still on the bed sat up and released the gag from her mouth, glaring at me as she sat there still butt naked.

"What is going on here?" I asked, my voice shaking, not wanting to believe it was real.

"What exactly did you see?" Sean said raising an eyebrow.

"I just saw you on that bed fucking Cherry." 

"Well, it's exactly as you saw." He said folding his arms.

"What do you mean, Sean. I'm your mate. How could you do this to me?" I asked getting closer to him.

"Ugh..who cares. Do you really believe in that mate thing? That's bullshit, I just want to live my life without having to be tied down to you." He said rolling his eyes.

"What do you mean?" I repeated because I clearly was not understanding what was going on.

"Ugh.. are you dumb? He said that you being his mate is bullshit. Can't you understand?" Cherry inputted from the bed before she stood up the bed to wear her clothes.

"Wait, Sean but you told me you loved me. I love you." I said, the tears beginning to drop from my eyes.

"Well, I lied. I don't love you, never have and never will." He said and Adelaide howled in sorrow at what our mate just said.

"Why? Why did you lie to me then?" 

"Because I had never slept with you before. I thought that I had to before I let you go. I was going to stay with you a bit longer, but I got bored. You're really boring, you know. Acting all innocent and shit. It's a real turn off for me. Plus, you're not even in the same class as me, your a low life pest. Always clinging to me. It gets annoying, you know?" He said all this and I didn't see a single look of regret cross his face. He said it with so much confidence like he had been planning it.

"I don't want to have someone like you leading my pack beside me. You have too many problems, you're just going to be a liability. It wasn't even up to a day I found out you were my mate and you already made me banish people from my pack. Do you know how much money I have had to spend on you just these past few weeks?" He scoffed as he shook his head. I dropped to the floor, my legs too weak to hold me up. His words cut through me like a knife.

"On the day of my birthday, I was hoping to have someone like Cherry as a mate, but when I found out you were my mate, it felt like a slap on the face. Just take a look at Cherry. She's beautiful, sophisticated and even more, rich. What exactly do you have to offer me? Nothing." Cherry snorted and I had to block off Adelaide a little because she was starting to claw at me a little too much because she wanted to come out.

And to think I had mocked Cherry about this.

"Then you should have just rejected me that day. It would have made things easier for both of us." I said looking straight at the floor, the tears blurring my vision, trying to speak through my sobs.

"I couldn't. My parents and the whole pack were there, they wouldn't have let me. That is why I planned this…. Anyway, that's enough explanation. It's about time you left." He said and my head snapped up.

"You're throwing me out?" I asked dumbfounded.

"Yes, was I still supposed to keep you? I'm helping you out here because I don't think you'll be able to take the shame and humiliation when everyone finds out that I rejected you and wish to take another person as my mate. So you should leave right now." He said as he came close to me and bent down so he was at my level.

"I think that's a better option for you than staying with me or even in this pack. We're not good for each other, okay? I'll just end up hurting you more. So please hurry up, we were in the middle of something." 

I still sat there, hoping that it was all a dream.

"Why are you wasting so much time. Well, if you want me to spell it out for you, then I will." He stood to his feet and stepped back.

"I, Sean White, officially reject you, Anna Stone as my mate given by the moon goddess." He said and I felt the bond that held me to him break. The pain wasn't that much because he hadn't marked me yet, but my heart physically hurt. I panted as the air in my lungs didn't seem enough anymore. I placed my hand on my chest hoping the pain would reduce.

I finally figured out why he hadn't marked me.

"And I hope to never see you again." He added as I sat there watching him walk back over to Cherry who was standing by the bed. He sat down and she straddled him as they resumed kissing. Cherry was giggling a lot and I knew she was doing all that to spite me.

I let out a deep breath as I stood up from the ground, the tears from my eyes never ceasing. I went to the closet, pulled out a duffel bag and put what ever it was that my hands could reach into it. I didn't take anything out of what he had bought for me. I only took what I had brought with me. I opened a secret compartment in the closet and pulled out a cookie box that I used as my piggy bank. It had all my life's savings in it. I pushed it into the duffel bag and zipped it up. 

I turned around and looked at Sean as I stood there. I had actually believed that he loved me . He had treated me so nicely that there was no room for questioning his love for me. I put my head down and sighed as I started making my way to the door.

When I got to the lawn, I looked back at the house one last time. 

"Goodbye, Anna." Cherry mocked as she stood beside Sean, clinging to him at the entrance of the door. "I hope I never see you again." She laughed.

Sean who had his arms folded in front of him just smirked. He waved at me when he noticed I was looking at him. I looked up at the moon before starting my journey down the road. 

I walked without looking back. Adelaid had been whining in pain this whole time. I didn't know what to say to her, how to comfort her, because I hadn't even comforter myself. 

I stopped as I looked up at the moon. The Moon goddess really hated me. All my life, I had never been truly happy, and just when I thought that I had finally found true happiness, that too is taken away from me. I had always been told that the Moon goddess is kind and gracious to her own, maybe I wasn't part of that category, and since I wasn't part, then maybe I should stop believing in her. 

Since I was born, I had just been moving from one hell to another. It wasn't fair how I had to go through all of that for no reason. I sighed again as I continued walking. 

I didn't know where I was going, all I knew was that I had to get out of the Blue moon pack before the next morning. Cherry and her B and B sisters would find every chance to mock me and the people would only look at me pitifully and I didn't want that.

I remembered the Alpha and Luna and how nice they had been to me. It was only recently Lorrie was talking to me about becoming Luna and I was seriously looking forward to it. All that is gone now. I would miss her and Dave, Avery and Cole. They were the only people that had been truly nice to me through out my life. 

Thankfully it wasn't too late, and I was able to get the last bus that was going out of town. As the bus arrived in stood in front of it, thinking. My life was going to change drastically the moment I stepped foot in that bus. 

I looked back one last time before I stepped into the bus, never to look back again.
