Nyx felt a sharp pain in her chest, she ran through the halls and back to her room. She shut the door tightly behind her. Her heart was thumping loudly.
She still couldn't believe what she had just saw.
"No, no, it can not be." Her voice was already teary.
She heard a knock on the door, "Nyx open the door." She heard his voice from outside.
She didn't reply him , she just slowly sat on the floor in despair.
"Nyx, stop being stubborn and open this door," he said firmly.
Her tears began to pour in torrents, she palmed her face, sobbing.
"Nyx stop all these, just let me explain everything," He kept on knocking.
She stood up and opened the door, "How could you?! How dare you?!" She suddenly outburst.
He wasn't expecting her outburst, and he flinched a little.
"I am so sorry Nyx but I never told you," He sighed sadly.
"Who is that woman?"
He exhaled deeply, before speaking up, "She's Selene, my fated mate."
She felt her heart twist. His fated mate?
"Fated mate?" She asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
He nodded, looking her in the eye.
She opened her mouth in shock,"Why did you marry me?"
He sighed, "I needed you, if I had not gotten married to you, I would not have been crowned Alpha king."
Her legs suddenly felt weak, they almost gave way but Oberon had caught her in time.
"Take it easy." He gripped her hand.
She pushed him away, "Do not touch me! You.. you.." She fell on the floor and broke down, sobbing.
Oberon sighed looking at her sobbing on the floor. He walked towards her, "There is no need crying over it Nyx."
She was hurt all the more, he didn't even care about the way she felt.
"What if you were in my shoes? You would have just let it go?"
He didn't know how to answer her, he just sighed and turned around, facing the window.
"This is wrong! I never did anything to you to deserve this!"
"You should stop yelling now, it had already been done. What did you want me to do? Sit down, fold my hands and watch my throne and crown being taken away? Is that what you would have done?"
"You should have told me all these!"
He held his head feeling frustrated.
Why did you have to get married to me then if you knew you were going to throw me away!" She yelled.
He exhaled gently and faced her, his face blank, his eyes surprisingly cool.
"That's because, I had to save my crown and my throne. Now, let me live my life."
"Why did it have to be me?" She palmed her face.
"You know she's my fated mate and there's nothing I can do about it."
Nyx stared on disbelief, this was what she was being warned about but she never listened. Now it had all happened, and she was helpless, totally helpless.
She sniffed, "Oberon, where will I go?"
He sucked his teeth, "You can stay here if you want. I will make sure you are given the best treatment. You have done well too."
Nyx couldn't believe he was saying all those, "Do you really think I would sit down and watch someone take my place? How do you want me to live with that?"
He shrugged, "I do not know, but definitely you have to sign the divorce agreement. We have to get a divorce."
Her vision was now completely blinded with tears. She never imagined her family would marry her off just like that only for her to get divorced only after a few months.
She could only sob, her body shook with rage and sorrow.
"I am sorry Nyx, but we can not stay together as husband and wife. Selene is my mate and I need her."
With tears in her eyes, she slowly picked herself up and nodded, "I will sign the divorce papers." She sniffed.
Shortly, a lady came to meet them, it was Selene.
"What is wrong with you? Why cry over it? You are not his fated mate, so get out!" Selene shouted at her rudely.
Nyx stopped crying and looked up at her, rage filled her heart as she stared at her with hatred.
She couldn't blame Selene at all, if wasn't her fault, it was never her fault. She was only unfortunate to have gotten married to Oberon by deceit.
She walked slowly out of the room, what else could she do? She couldn't cry anymore, her eyes were already getting heavy.
Oberon watched her leave, he closed his eyes and looked away. He never intended hurting her in this way but he had no choice. He had to preserve his throne.
Nyx dragged herself through the halls, her eyes were droopy and sad. She came across Elena in the halls. Elena looked concerned.
"Nyx." She called out sadly.
Nyx looked in her direction.
"You knew about this right?"
Elena dropped her gaze and nodded, "Yes."
Nyx was completely shattered, "Even you? You never thought of letting me know.* She shook her head in grief.
"I am so sorry Nyx, Oberon had to find his mate before he could get crowned. He was given a period of time, if he did not find a mate then, the throne would be handed over to someone else."
"He found you and had to marry you so he could save his throne. You were never his mate." Elena sighed deeply.
She was finding it hard to breathe, "I thought you loved me." She said barely above a whisper.
"I do Nyx, I do consider you my daughter, but we just had to do it, we had no choice." She avoided her eyes.
Nyx held the wall to support her wobbling legs. She closed her eyes, still trying to process all Elena had just told her.
Someone came to them, it was mark. He faced Nyx.
"My lady." He said timidly.
She opened her eyes and looked at him. He handed something to her.
"The... divorce papers." He gulped.
She took it with shaky hands and looked at it. This was it, this was her end, her doom.
