Longing For My Rejected Luna

Chapter 4

**********ERIKA'S POV**********

"You do know that rejecting Alex doesn't mean you've stopped being his Luna" Cindy suddenly said and I paused from what I was doing.

I was currently in our bedroom, packing my stuffs and ready to vacate this hell of a packhouse.

"What do you mean?" I asked, confused.

"I mean to say that, you can't just reject Alex and think that you're free" Cindy said again.

"I heard you the first time, but why? What else has to be done?" I asked.

"You both have to dissolve the mate bond"

Cindy answered.

"What?" I asked in surprise, "what do you mean dissolve the mate bond?"

"You both are Alphas, though he doesn't know. But mere rejection by words mean nothing, you have to dissolve the mate bond to be completely free from each other. I'm pretty sure Alex knows this as well"

I was taken aback by her explanation. I leaned by bedside table and my brows furrowed even more.

"How come I never knew about all this?" I asked.

"Because you never listened to your father's teaching about mating" Cindy

snarled in response.

"Don't push the blame on me Cindy, my father was never an easy going man" I said and continued my packing.

"I get it but still, you have to dissolve the mate bond"

"How do I do it?" I asked half way through my packing.
