CHAPTER 2

HAVEN'S POINT OF VIEW

I woke up feeling like a huge truck hit my whole body. My body is aching, particularly my back. It was so painful and I know that it has been heavily damaged after Tristan threw me and it hit the edge of the bed.

I looked around and I noticed that I am lying on the cold floor of my room.

I bit my lower lip. Tears are starting to cloud my eyes again. Whoever sent me here was also cruel. He or she doesn't even have the decency to put me on my bed when it was just right there already!

My body was too numb. My skin was too cold, probably because I stayed too long on the floor.

I barely can't move. Every movement is too painful to handle and again, all I did was to cry with the pain. I guess, I am really pathetic. Weak and the useless helper of this pack.

It took me minutes before I was able to finally move to the bed. I crawled up to there since my legs are too weak to even stand.

When I was able to lie down on the bed, I stared at the ceiling blankly. I wasn't sobbing but the tears are still streaming down on my face. I know that it is starting to soak the pillow but I don't care. I just wanted to let this all out.

My parents... Are they still alive? If they are, then why did they choose to leave me in the middle of that cold dark forest?

A broken and sarcastic smile stretched on my lips. I am probably unwanted by my parents too. They don't like me. They probably have known that I will grow up weak and useless so they got rid of me as soon as possible.

How cruel. How...cruel. Why did the Moon Goddess let this happen to me? I didn't do anything wrong. I haven't done anything wrong so I don't understand why I have to suffer like this!

I wanted to say that life is so unfair, that Moon Goddess is so unfair—but no, it isn't the life, it isn't the Moon Goddess, but the people that surrounds me are. They are the one's who are unfair. They are making me suffer for everything when I didn't even do anything wrong!

I want to kill myself. I've always been wanting to do that eversince Tristan started treating me badly, but I just can't find myself to do so. There is something that's stopping me from doing that. And I guess, I am not that depressed enough to give up after all the pain I've been through.

Exhaustion completely took over me again. I am hungry but I was too weak and exhausted to even stand. So I slept with a heavy heart and with a growling stomach.

Tomorrow is another day of suffering. And tomorrow is the day that I'll be finally ending it.

I woke early despite of still having a heavy heart and a painful body. I forced myself to stand and go straight to the bathroom for a quick shower.

I was crying while inside the shower. The pain on my back was too much. I got a glimpse of it in the mirror and I don't even want to look at it again. It was slightly bruised and is turning dark and bluish. It was horrible to look at so I cried so hard.

Despite of breaking down inside the bathroom, I was still able to dress and fix myself.

I sighed as I sat on the edge of the bed while looking at the black backpack resting on the floor. All my important belongings are there. There are some clothes inside too and I think that would be enough for me to survive the cold weather outside the border of Farrington Pack.

I just made my decision. I will ran away from this pack. I will leave every painful things here. I will end it all here...today.

The ceremony for the new Alpha and Luna is today. I will be attending it.

I bit my lower lip as I breath deeply, closing my eyes in the process.

'Heaven...' I softly called inside my head.

'You shut me out!' That's what she immediately told me. I slightly laughed. I did that to protect her from the pain and also to rest. I don't want her to be exhausted like me too since I'll be needing her today.

'I apologize, Heaven. I just wanted you to rest. I know that everything was exhausting you.'

'But what if something happened to you, huh?! I won't be able to protect you too!' She retorted with an angry voice.

I get it. She's worried of me too but I am more worried about her. I can bear the pain but I know that she can't bear the pain longer. If there is someone who's going to be deeply attached to our mates, that would be our wolves. They tend to get really attached to their mates easily. Easy attachment, easy pain too. And I don't want Heaven to suffer for too long. She doesn't deserve it. We both don't deserve this.

'Heaven, I'll be needing you today—'

'I know and I agree with you. I want to leave this place too. I can't bear seeing you in so much pain. We've been suffering for almost a year already. It's time to put this all into an end.'

My mouth slightly opened. It thought...I thought she's going to oppose this idea of mine. My wolf, Heaven, is one of the reason why I didn't leave the pack. She told me that she's still hoping for Tristan to have a change of heart and we waited for almost a year but he didn't. In fact, he got even worse each passing day.

I smiled softly.

'Thank you, Heaven.'

'No. Thank you for not giving up, Haven.'

After settling everything with my wolf, Haven, I immediately made my way downstairs with my backpack on my back. No one will notice it, I know. They're all too busy right with the ceremony. It will start in an hour and they're already rushing.

I was successful in getting inside the kitchen. No one was there, thank goodness. I immediately stuffed some canned goods in my bag and some bread and a bottled water. I eat a piece of bread while going out of the kitchen.

Everyone was already gathered in front of the field where there is a decorated stage for the ceremony of the Alpha and Luna.

I smiled bitterly.

Now is the end for my suffering.

Minutes passed by and I painfully watched the two figure walking up to the stage. Behind them is Alpha Jacob and his Luna, and Marina's parents which are one of the members of the Farrington Pack's council. They were all smiling widely as the crowd cheered for them while I am on the side, hurting and stopping myself from not crying.

"Good day to all the members of Farrington Pack! Today, we will witness as Alpha Jacob and Luna Tricia will pass down their position to the choosen next leaders of Farrington Pack. As we all know, Tristan, our future Alpha, the only son of Alpha Jacob and Luna Tricia has a mate!"

My lips quivered as I closed my eyes tightly, calming myself down. Tristan and Marina really wanted me to suffer so hard, huh? And they're both doing it good.

"But we don't want an orphan, a weakling, and a useless leader to sit on the throne next to our choosen Alpha Tristan, right?!" The emcee shouted through the mic. I know her, she's Marina's friend, Wendy.

Majority agreed to the question as they started to shout Marina's name. My heart clenched painfully. I sighed. I have to get out of here as fast as I can.

After some talks, the time has come. It was time for me to step in.

"Now, me and my Luna will pass down the position to the two werewolves who clearly deserves it! Everyone, our new Alpha and Luna. Alpha Tristan and Luna Marina!"

Everyone clapped but I didn't. I stayed still for awhile and when everyone became quite, that's when I stepped in.

I heaved a deep sigh. I am nervous, but I have to do this. For myself and for my wolf.

Tristan and Marina's eyes darted towards me. Tristan's face darkened and I only smirked in return. I saw how shock he was with what I did.

There, Tristan, be shock.

"Cerise Haven, what are you doing?!" Alpha Jacob asked. I hissed. I thought he was kind but he isn't! He's one of the people who looked down to me too! He insulted me when he found out that I was Tristan's mate. He told me names. He told me I am not worth the position of being a Luna! I already lost my respect to him the moment he told me that I don't fit as a Luna in this pack!

"I, Cerise Haven, reject you, Tristan Farrington as my mate." That was the words that came out from my mouth that left everyone shock and bewildered.

The words destroyed me. I can hear Heaven shouting in pain inside my head. But I think it shookt Tristan's world even more. He didn't expected this to happen because he thought that I'll be giving him the pleasure to do the rejection.

Marina shouted when Tristan dropped to his knees, clutching his chest. He was sweating so bad while looking at me. And I think my eyes must be playing with me since I saw the pain and longing in his eyes as he stared at me.

"And I am detaching myself from this trashy pack! Y'all discriminated me for being weak," I raised my brow at Alpha Jacob. "While your pack can't even reach the rankings for the strongest pack. Everyone here is weak too and that made y'all a loser. Now, remember the day that I left. You will have nothing but unfortune in return!"

The look on their faces shows that they were scared of what I said.

I shook my head. I can't be fooled by that look. No way. I've been there before and I refused to be in the same dark place that he gave me.

I smirked at him and Marina one more time before I let Heaven take over.

The pain is getting unbearable as minutes goes by but it wasn't enough for me to give up. And maybe I was too immune with the pain that I was still able to run miles before I finally stopped.

Now, I am free.
