Reclaiming the heart that belongs to me

Freya's P.O.V.

“I, Troy, renounce you, useless, low-rank omega, as my mate and future Luna,” I heard the crown prince's voice. I sank to the floor in a heavy howl, sensing my soul cracking, resulting in unbearable grief.

“Meanwhile, I prefer Gina as my accepted mate and Luna, for she is indeed deserving of the position,” Troy, the crown prince, included, and people gasped. Some people put me on the floor with pathetic expressions, while others mocked me and said I deserved it.

“What did I do wrong?” I thought. I was an omega and an outcast. I was mistreated, disgraced, and criticized by people.

I was taken advantage of and oppressed. My feelings were never cared for; instead, I was crushed and turned into everyone's slave.

I was supposed to be happy and rejoicing tonight, the full moon festival, but no one allowed me to.

I remained in a corner, admiring the moon, when I perceived the most pleasant aura ever, with my conscious wolf flipping in excitement.

I perceived my mate was near, and I had to find him. I started following the scent and went deep into the crowd to meet everybody dancing and rejoicing.

Suddenly, I bumped into someone, and from the pleasurable aura I was perceiving, I noticed I banged into my mate. 

I was eager and lifted my head to look at who it was. It left me speechless, for my mate turned out to be none other than the arrogant, prideful crown prince and soon-to-be alpha of my pack. I was happy, but deep down inside, I felt I should expect rejection. 

I thought he would reject me, and like I expected, he did. At first, he froze, perhaps knowing I was his mate. The next thing I noticed, he, or should I say his wolf, released a loud howl before he turned to stare at me.

I vibrated at the intense hatred in his eyes and could feel my heart dissolving into pieces. “How could the moon goddess be so wicked?” he growled, drawing everyone's attention, and I shivered.

Just then, my nemesis, Gina, who never failed to make my life miserable, arrived and enclosed her arms around Justin while staring swords at me. “Baby, what is wrong?” She requested, and I think I saw fear flash across her eyes. 

“The moon goddess has betrayed me,” Troy yelled, earning murmurs from people wondering what was happening. What do you mean, my love?” Gina asked, worried. “Please stop talking in parables and explain,” she responded. I just discovered out now that this little, rejected tart is my mate,” he growled. I felt tears at the brim of my eyes at his words and what he announced.

“My mate called me rejected,” I thought, as I sneered in surprise while looking into his eyes, filled with bitterness and disgust for me.
