Ava;
My jerking mouth can't tell how it summons the courage to ask for a divorce, but I know the sound of his sex mate being Luna, triggers Avin.
And it's funny how my weak nature had developed feelings for the beast, a few days in his dungeon. And the mate bond also plays Its role.
My low self-esteem was ready to endure the humiliation from his pack members, his sex mate, and even him, hoping for the beast to one day reciprocate my feelings. But he doesn't have a heart.
Now, freedom is the only thing that matters to me. "Yes, you heard me right Alpha, I want a divorce."
The beast roars at me, "How dare you, weak omega, ask for a divorce."
"How dare you, Alpha Mateo choose another woman as Luna," I roar back at him, but a thunder slap sends me back to the bed.
"No woman dares to divorce Alpha Mateo," He groans and walks away.
I bitterly weep as Avin whimpers in pain, "Why does our mate hate us so much?" Her tiny self asks me.
I call her tiny because I know she is. Opportunity brought us to finally meet a night before today in the room of this beast, It's funny how we are both petite.
Boldly I say to her, "Avin, I don't care how he treats us, I won't give up. Alpha Mateo must sign the divorce papers. Freedom is inevitable," My hands dry my tears, "I'm human, I have worth, and I will one day prove it."
The thought in my head makes Avin laugh, "You can prove it only if we survive our beast mate, with a long c**k," Her words finally give us the courage to giggle, and for a moment, we forget our pain. "Is your va**na still hurting," Avin throws a sensitive question at me.
"My heart hurts more than my va***na. I'm divorcing the man I love."
"But he doesn't love you, Ava, and you can't continue in this loveless marriage," Avin convinces me, and yes, she is right.
Letting in a breath of relief, I stand up from the bed and reach for my ripped lingerie, "At least, he has a good c**k and he f**ks well, even though he is aggressive," I giggle.
"What is enjoyable with someone forcefully taking your virginity," Avin groans, and I hiss.
Leading myself to his washing room, an entrance gets my attention as my body turns toward the direction. Aunt Margaret walks in.
"What did you say to Alpha Mateo that makes him want to rip me apart?" She asks warmly, strolling closer to me.
"I asked for a divorce, Aunt."
My blunt answer makes her jaw drop, "Why Ava? Your marriage is just a few days old," She warmly speaks, holding my hands, and we both take a position on the bed.
"I can't take it anymore… yes, I'm in love with him, but he doesn't feel the same."
She gusts, "I know my brother's son can sometimes be difficult like his late father, but please give him a chance, Ava."
My emotion triggers making my sight blurry, "The problem is not me, but him. Alpha Mateo has pronounced another woman to be his Luna, after rejecting me as his mate," My eyes lose their strength to hold back my tears, and they let it flow, but the sound of her giggle makes my eyebrows rise, "What's funny?"
"Nothing my dear Ava," She uses a finger to lift my chin, "I'm not an ordinary old lady, I didn't choose you only because I feel Alpha Mateo is lonely and needs a Luna."
I nervously laugh, "Aunt Margaret…. I do not understand your words."
"You and Alpha Mateo are destined to be together, you're in his life for a purpose," She smiles at me, rises from the bed, and moves toward the door.
Curiosity makes me also rise from the bed, "So what should I do about the divorce?"
Her footsteps halt at my screams, "Ava, follow your heart, but bear in mind that any decision you take will still lead you back to him."
"What?… Why?…. How?" My tears increase like a running river.
Her body turns in my direction with a smiling face, "There are things in this life we can fight…. But not our fate."
"How do you know about my fate?" I ask as my lips quiver.
"I'm blessed with divine abilities by the Moon Goddess." She responds and walks away.
Her last words hit me as my legs weakened, making me fall back to the bed, my heart racing faster, "Avin, what should I do? How do I make him sign the divorce papers?"
"You can't keep on crying like a weak slave, Ava, go wash up and have a rest."
The little encouragement from Avin brings lost strength to my body, and I rush to the bathroom, wash my body, and throw Alpha Mateo's oversized white shirt on. My stomach clenches and I rush to the door so I can grab a meal, but it feels trapped. I bang on it with the little strength in me and my tiny voice screams, but no response.
My breath starts quivering, as the trap door reminds me of that dark dungeon, I cry out, "Someone please open the door," the silence from the other end makes me struggle to draw in air and my hands slip through the door, making me slide down to the floor.
A force opens the doors and slides me to the other end. It is Alpha Mateo, who walks in with a plate in his left hand.
He sneers at me, "You are only permitted to die when I'm done with you." He pulls my hair with his huge hand toward the bedside, and aggressively drops the plate between my legs, "Eat!" He commands.
"Please divorce me…. I want to leave," My shaking voice utters.
He nods his head with a smirk face, "I will let you go when I'm satisfied," He smiles and walks away.
My hunger was like a wild lion and I devoured the food like a human vacuum. in seconds I'm left with a pile of crumbs. I need this food to survive.
*****
Alpha Mateo, in exchange for my freedom, made my life more miserable. He rapes me every night and disposes of me like a filthy rag, making me hate myself so much. I've vowed to take my revenge on him and my foster father.
I take in a breath of fresh air. My freedom is finally here.
"Sign this and take your filthy self out of my presence," Alpha Mateo throws the divorce papers at my face, as I stand in front of his desk in his office.
"Alpha, Take it easy on her…. I think she has received enough punishment from you," Jacob says, helping me pick up the papers from the floor. He arranges them and hands them over to me with a pen, drawing his lips to my ear, he whispers, "Ava…. Just sign this and leave. You deserve better."
Taking the papers from Jacob, my teeth press my lower lip as I sign, and return the papers to Alpha Mateo's desk.
The love I once felt for him, has turned into hatred, and the only thing I now desire is to take my revenge on everyone.
"Make sure to run far away because I will kill you the next time I set my eyes on you," Alpha Mateo says, and I walk away with tears flowing down my cheeks.
*****
The burden of the world lifts from my shoulders, as I sip my coffee, peeking through the wooden window. It's been a month already since I finally left that beast to my best friend, Isabella's home. The best decision of my life.
"Ava" Isabella calls my attention, her head hanging low.
"What is it, Isabella?" I move near to her.
Pointing a file at my body, "Ava, your doctor's report."
Three days before today, I had been down and decided to run a medical checkup, and I asked Isabella to help me pick up the result on her way home.
Taking the result from her, I glance through, and my anxiety rises, "No way…. I can't be pregnant for Alpha Mateo, this is a stigma."
"Ava, we have a bigger problem," She calls my attention again and I stare at her as my shoulders drop.
"I just heard from a trusted warrior that Lisa had ordered for your head."
Her words make my heart race faster as I drop to the bed, "Why?" is the only word that escapes my mouth.
"She knows you're her only opposition to the Luna crown. We don't have time, please leave, for the sake of this unborn child and your safety. I will support you in the best way I can."
Isabella is right, I have to flee for my life. In a hurry, we packed a few things and I left for a new city.
