Longing For My Rejected Luna

Chapter 8

*****Erika's POV*****

After the conversation with Jace, we agreed that he would take me to the moon forest pack, but he would wait at the pack's borders for me.

He won't take me to the packhouse.

Currently, I was standing in my bedroom, one I had missed for so long.

It was twice the size of the one I shared with Alex back in the moonforest.

"Why do you keep bringing that lowly someone into everything to compare in the house?!" Cindy suddenly yelled in frustration.

Honestly, whenever I set my eyes on anything in this house, I am instantly reminded of Alex's house.

Though my house was definitely two times larger than his, I still couldn't help myself.

"Please stop thinking about him" She pleaded and I smiled, taking a seat at the balcony and staring into the open sky.

The lights from the street, illuminated the entire surrounding and some patrol guards, were still seen on duty.

"He is still my husband" I said to Cindy in a tired tone.

"You've left him and you're not his wife anymore!" She whined.

"That is until the mate bond is dissolved and I sign the divorce papers. I'm still his legally married wife and Mate, if all these isn't settled" I added calmly.

"Come on, Erika," Cindy, urged again. "Enough dwelling on the past. Look ahead and embrace the future that awaits you."

I smiled and leaned back in my seat.

"But Cindy," I called out softly, my voice barely audible in the stillness of the night. "How can I simply forget the love I once had? The dreams we shared?"

"What dreams did Alex ever share with you?! Alex is a dickhead?!" She yelled in anger and I chuckled again.
