Sophia's POV

"I'll be honest with all of you, I do not like her." Frustration in his speech

I was outside his room, right behind his door, when I heard what he had just told his friends about no one else but me, or did I presume wrongly.

My hands were stretched forward, ready to knock on the door, frozen in mid-air as I heard those words from Abel, my mate.

I had prepared some snacks for him and his friends , snacks his mother had told me were their favorites. I had hoped to surprise them, but now I was the surprised one.

I held onto the plate tightly, my trembling fingers on it, I knew they were talking about me now after hearing their replies.

My heart broke the more, the words Abel said echoed in my mind. This wasn't the first time I had heard him speak of me in such a manner.

He was never happy with the idea of us being together, always questioning why I was his mate out of all the women in our pack, the moon goddess had paired us and from what I heard the moon goddess was the perfect matchmaker but I guess she had made a mistake with us.

"She is a weak child, constantly in need of protection. I refuse to have someone so weak as my partner. I despise her very existence," he uttered.

With a forced smile now replaced by my sadness, I bit my lower lip, willing my emotions to stay in check.

Deep down, I knew that he would never truly accept me as his future mate. I had tried and worked hard to meet his standards, but I was never good enough, and I doubt I would ever be.

He would soon become the Alpha of the crescent moon pack, and for me to be a worthy Luna, he expected me to match the strength of his mother. Those were the words he frequently said to me whenever the topic of marriage came up. But as a mere human, how could I ever become like his mother? I lacked every trace of werewolf blood in my DNA.

I had always felt like a burden to my adoptive parents, though they loved me despite not being their biological child, I still felt like I was a problem to them.

Sadly, my presence brought them shame and disappointment. They suffered because of me, and I couldn't escape the sense that I was unwanted in our pack. Everyone questioned why they decided to adopt a weak human to be their child.

Though each hurtful word wounded me deeply, I bore it all, wanting to prove myself worthy. But this time, I couldn't hold back the tears welling in my eyes.

Abel's words to his friends struck at the core of my soul, leaving a mark. How could I ignore his hurtful words when they came from the person I loved the most? He was someone I liked before he found out we were mates which made me happy but I am not the mate he wants.

Was I not worthy?

"I will be the happiest person when that pathetic weak girl disappears. I don't want to see her anymore."

I can't listen to them anymore

I put down the food and ran while my tears finally came down freely from my eyes. I loved him, but I knew in myself he would never feel the same as long as he saw me as someone who couldn't match his mother's power.

I was just a human, a loser, and a disgrace to the pack. I had been fantasizing about being the strong and beautiful Alpha's Luna.

I stood behind the pack house as tears flooded my vision. Lost in my thought I didn't realize that someone was Standing beside me.

"This is why you can't become my luna, you are too weak, You can never become the strong Luna I need by my side I need" Abel said, bringing me out of my thoughts.

"I, Abel Smith, Future Alpha of the crescent moon pack, reject Sophia as my mate and Luna."

And my heart was shattered instantly. While my tears flowed, Without any hesitation, he said those words in front of me. Without a second thought, he didn't even consider my feelings.

"You are not that important. A weak human like you was like garbage that was easy to throw away." He brought his face closer to me. "I didn't want you to be my Luna, hope you understand that.

Abel had everything that every woman wanted. Strong, independent, powerful, handsome. He was good at everything. Maybe I needed to accept that there was some other girl out there who would match his expectations and become a better Luna. And that girl was not me.

"Just go. I don't want to see your face again." His voice was deep. Those words coming from someone I loved were carved into my heart.

I stepped back and ran away. I couldn't stop my tears. I was a useless human. How could I continue my life, if Abel rejected me to be his Luna?

He rejected me...

He didn't want me to be his mate...

There was no reason to be alive....

Leaving the pack, I ran... and ran... until I reached the top of the mountain. My eyes were blurry from tears, I was familiar with this place.

I want to end this misery. I want to end my life.

This was what Abel wanted. I loved him, to the point that I could fulfill his wish.

Being gone would make him the happiest person that his pathetic, weak, unwanted, and unloved Luna was dead.

I wiped the tears from my eyes and walked straight to the edge. When I looked down, I saw how high this cliff was. There was nothing I could hear but the sound of water calling me to jum

I closed my eyes and recalled every memory with my parents. I was sorry, Mother, for my decision, but this was for all of us. Abel would find another Luna, and I would soon be forgotten. No one would remember the weak, unwanted, and rejected Luna. I was not that important.

I thought as I fell down, what if reincarnation was real, and if it was, I would love to be born as a proper Werewolf and make everyone regret how they had treated me.

I closed my eyes and the last thing I heard was the sound of me entering the water.
