Rejecting My Heartless Ex Mate

Author’s POV

In the middle of her living room Meredith Cruz is watching the news on TV and the poster head is her own husband, no one other than Maximillian Cruz, the alpha of New Moon Pack. She is looking at him kissing a young woman , almost naked and dancing on the tables in the middle of a bar.

She doesn't even know when was the last time when they spoke.

She didn't wanted this marriage, but every day, since she became Maximillian's Cruz wife and luna, she's been doing everything she can to be a good wife. She has taken care of the house where she lives, prepared meals every day for the last six months and has been waiting for her husband to eat together, although he has never set his foot in the house since she has been here.

Maximillian remembers that she exists only when Meredith calls him on an urgent matter, and that only happened once since they married. So, Meredith doesn't draw the wrong conclusion at all when she realizes that her husband has completely forgotten about her.

"Luna, please," aunty Jen said. "Please don't look anymore."

“Don’t worry, aunty. I am fine “Meredith said and looking one more time on TV she takes her phone and calls her husband.

“Good morning, my dear” she said, making aunty Jen smile.

"Ah, it’s you…" she heard Maximilian puffing nervously. "What else do you want this time?"

"I wanted to tell you that I decided. I want to divorce, ”she tells him straight away, without looking around, and looking up she sees aunty Jen with tears in her eyes.

"When do you want to go to finish this …thing…?" alpha Max Cruz asks her and his voice changes completely. Meredith can feel his joy.

“There is no need to meet. I already signed the papers. Aunty Jen will give it to you and I am sure you know exactly what to do with it. ”

"If this is a prank, I will…." but Max can't tell her anything anymore so Meredith immediately shuts the phone in his nose.

"It's over aunty," she said.

"Luna, but why?" and bursting in tears aunty Jen asks Meredith:

"Is there really nothing that can be done about it? You are so kind and our former luna and alpha love you so much. And what about Grandpa Cruz? You will break his heart! ”

Of course that aunty Jen knows all that because she was an omega in alpha’s house for more than forty years. She loves this family, and raised Maximilian, but right now she loves this pure and simple girl that is her luna more than anything else.

"Aunty I can't do it anymore." and her dark blue eyes are so clear right now that auntie's Jen heart is softening.

"He will regret losing you," she said.

“He won’t. We’ve been married for six months and he’s never come home since the day of our wedding. But I am alright. I never wanted to be his luna just as he never wanted me. I am just a human, a weak human being in his strong pack. Is normal for him to be disgusted of me ”

“Still, you are our luna . You can’t leave us! ” begs aunty Jen.

“He will find his real luna, maybe he will find his mate. Who knows? Everything is possible ”and embracing her she looks lovingly at the old woman who took care of her all this time.

“I need to pack my things. I don't want your alpha to find me here. ”Meredith said and walked to her bedroom.

She looks in the mirror and smiles.

“We did it, girl! We are finally free from him! I've tried for mom and dad, but I can just stay here and feel lost. ” and she immediately takes off her suitcase and starts packing her clothes. She takes her favorite light blue lace dress and puts a light make up on her angelic face.

She takes her nude stiletto shoes and looking one more time in the mirror she is happy to be the old Meredith Quinn again. The one that is elegant and refined.

"Luna ?" Aunty Jen exclaims in shock when she sees her coming down.

All these months she saw Meredith in simple clothes, living humble. She always worked in the house and never let aunty Jen to work by herself.

“You look so beautiful! If alpha would see you right now I am sure he would like to stay at home just to be with you. ”

But just the thought of Maximilian finding out how the real Meredith Quinn looks ,makes her tremble.

“No, aunty. If you really care about me, please don’t tell him about this. Leaving this place I have the chance to live for the first time in my life. I want this. It's my choice. Meredith told her and took her in her arms making the little old woman cry.

"My alpha could not have a better luna than you, I will miss you my luna .” and looking at Meredith one more time she asks” Do you want me to call you a taxi? ”

“No, aunty. My brother is waiting for me ”and kissing her aged and wrinkled cheeks, Meredith walks out of the house without looking back and runs straight into the car waiting for her at the gate.

The thing is that she never wanted to marry Maximilian Cruz but this was her parents' strongest wish. To see her in a good family. Her parents knew that a Luna's life would be smooth.

And she loves them so much that she couldn’t stand to oppose them.

She is the adopted daughter of Alpha Landon Quinn. She was found in the forest by her brother, when James was only seven years old. He loved her with all his heart and took her home. Olivia and Landon Quinn adopted her even if she was human, but they loved her so much and all her life she was protected by them.

This is why they looked for a man that would offer safety to their daughter . Because Landon Quinn and Carter Cruz, Maximillian's dad, were old friends, they asked their children to marry each other.

Maximilian vowed never to love Meredith . He wanted to mate later, but mating with a weak human was out of discussion.

Meredith felt the same way. No one knows exactly her age, all assumed that she is already eighteen, but in fact she was just a few months younger. She just wanted to live, to stand by herself.

She accepted Maximilian Cruz, but Maximilian refused to look at her and meet her until their wedding.
