"You are hereby banished from The Sun Crest pack. Leave immediately!" His voice reverberated through the hallway as he spoke.
"If you are found anywhere close to this pack, the worst things will befall you." He threatened.
At that moment, it seemed like Veronica could not hear properly. It was like she had suddenly gone deaf. She turned to look at Beck, hoping that he would at least plead with his father on her behalf but looking at his face, he didn't seem surprised at all. He looked indifferent.
She fell to her knees in front of Beck's father, grabbing his feet.
"Please Alpha. If I leave here now, I have nowhere to go. You know I have no family to call mine. Please." She pleaded as tears rolled down her cheeks.
"And how is that my business? Do you know the number of problems and havoc you have caused in this pack since you stepped in here? You have done enough damage to last us a couple of years and so, my decision is final. Leave! We do not want you anymore, you are just bad news!" He screamed at her, yanked his feet from her grasp and walked away.
"Please. Have mercy on me. I promise you, I won't go out any longer. I will stay quietly in my house all day and I'll do whatever you want me to do. Please don't send me away like this. Please." She begged for his mercy, loudly, even as he walked away, but all her pleading fell on deaf ears.
Seeing that he no longer listened to her and had walked away, she decided to turn to the only one who she thought would have actually had a change of heart and beg his father for her, to at least, let her stay, even if she had to live like a piece of furniture, doing nothing important.
She rushed to hold Beck's feet this time around and wailed as she begged him,
"Beck, please. Help me beg him. Help me plead with him. If you send me away like this, I'm going to die. You know I am not strong at all. You know how weak I am, please."
"Oh, so you now know that you are nothing but a weak omega?" Veronica heard Blue, Beck's sister, say, as she walked proudly towards them.
"Well, permit me to tell you, in case, you didn't realize before now, that you are not just weak but you are worthless and useless too." She hissed. "News flash, father's decision is final! The earlier you begin to pack all those useless belongings of yours and leave here, the better for you." She spat.
"Don't you get it? No one wants you. No one likes you! You're different from everyone of us in a very bad way. Even your hair is different from ours! Urrggghhh!" She said with so much irritation in her voice.
"What were you thinking? That my brother would marry you and you'll become his Luna? Over my dead body! Not during my lifetime will I ever let that happen! Never!" She screamed at Veronica.
"Beck, please." Veronica managed to weakly say but he looked away.
"You see? He doesn't want you." She mocked.
"Guards!!!!" She screamed and immediately, about five guards showed up.
"Throw this THING out of here." She ordered and immediately, the guards began to drag her away.
As they dragged her out, she looked at Beck one more time but this time, he turned his back on her and walked away.
Veronica could not believe that the same one who had professed his undying love for her would turn his back on her. She never imagined that such a day would come that Beck would not care that she was about to be thrown out the pack, knowing well that she had no family anywhere and no place to go.
As they got to the pack's gates, the guards threw her out like a piece of unwanted and worthless rag, like a piece of sh*t and she fell to the ground with a thud. As she fell, she felt a tingling pain in her right ankle, but she paid no attention to the pain. Her bags came flying at her, as they were thrown at her, right after.
"The next time you show your useless and worthless face in this pack or anywhere close to this pack, you'll regret the day you were born." One of the guards said, with so much irritation.
"Let's go in." He said to the others and they followed him as they walked back into the pack, leaving her all alone to whatever befalls her.
She remained seated on the bare ground as she processed what her next line of action should be.
"What exactly is my offense? What did I do to deserve this from Beck? Is it a crime to be an omega? Or is it a crime to be helpless? What did I do so wrong?" She cried out.
"Where do I go from here now? I don't know anywhere. I don't know who to run to? I have no one!"
The only person who would have been by her side right now, Kiera, was dead, and now, all hope seemed to be lost. She looked at her luggages, it was a small, black, leather backpack with white stripes. That was the only thing she could boast of as hers. The little backpack had the few clothes that she had.
She tried to stand up but fell back on her butt and screamed in pain. Her foot was hurting, and it was at that moment that she remembered the pain she earlier felt on her ankle when she was thrown out of the pack by the guards.
Back on the ground, she examined her leg, trying to massage different areas, to be sure of where the pain was coming from. The moment she applied pressure on her ankle, she screamed in pain and immediately withdrew her hand. She soon realized that it was beginning to swell up.
It was also beginning to look like it would get dark in a couple of hours, and she definitely needed to find a safe place to stay, at least for the night, before she began her journey early the next morning.
She decided to try to get up once again. Enduring the pain of her swollen ankle, and putting pressure on her other leg, she got up, picked her bag, and after turning around to look at the Pack's gates one last time, she began to limp away.
