NATALIE’S POV.
It wasn’t an easy feeling—
The feeling of dejection coupled with that of rejection….
Suddenly, I began to miss my parents and my long-lost brother.....and began to wish that they were safe somewhere….
I was still lost in thoughts when a knock on the door jolted me back to reality, and I became shocked at who must have been knocking—knowing fully well that I wasn’t expecting anyone.
“Who’s that?” I peeped through the door hole, and saw a young girl standing by the door.
“Yeah, who are you and what do you want?” I asked coldly, not making efforts to open the door.
“I’m sorry—I just came to give you this and offer my sincere apologies for what happened today,” She said, and my eyes widened.
This was probably the first time someone tried to act nice towards me, since my parent's disappearance—as everyone believed I had a hand in their disappearance.
It wasn’t easy trying to prove myself, so along the line—I gave up.
I opened the door slowly, to stare at her….but she flashed me a beautiful smile, which I returned reluctantly.
“Here,” She said and handed a parcel to me with a wide smile.
I narrowed my eyes at her, before I slowly collected the parcel from her......
“Bye—” She ran off just like that, and when I made to stop her…. I decided against it quickly.
“Who in heaven’s name is this lady?” I thought again, as I took another look at the parcel, wondering what it must be about.
I entered into my house, closing the door behind me—I began to open the parcel only to be met with a big shocker.....
“A letter?” I wondered, shockingly, as I breathed deeply and made to read it.
“You must be lucky that you turned out to be the Alpha’s mate, but how does it feel being rejected by the same person?” The letter read, and I shut my eyes tightly as I tried to control myself from breaking down.
“I just wrote this to inform you about how I’ve decided to sack you from being my child’s nanny—I wouldn’t want your stinking nature to rub off on my child…. Gracias,” I came to the end of the letter and I felt tears gathering in my eyes, as they threatened to fall freely on my cheek.
The hatred was still on—
The fact I was sacked from my job wasn’t what pained me, but the fact that everyone has considered me to be a failure.
My mate rejected me—
I was also blamed for my parent's disappearance—
My elder brother is still missing—
“Why are all these happening to me?” I groaned and sighed sadly.
Somehow, something needed to be done—but I was confused as to what and how?
The fact that I had felt that I’d managed to have a friend in this City— but ended up being disappointed as usual.
Slowly, I couldn’t hold it anymore—and the tears flowed freely on my face and dropped on the paper I held in my hands.
My mind was still clouded with different thoughts when an idea struck me—it wasn’t bad, but it still wasn’t good either.
I needed to run—so far away from this city.
The hatred was too much, that I found it difficult to control myself thinking about it….
Almost immediately, I stood and packed my clothes—into a small bag.
I packed everything I knew I’ll need on this journey, and sat back—waiting patiently for everyone in the city to retire to the comfort of their homes.
After what seemed like forever, the City suddenly went silent—and the only thing heard was the chirping of insects….
That was the right moment—
I picked up my bag and vacated my house, locking the door in the process.
I walked through the silent streets of the city with no destination in mind—but all I knew was that I needed to leave Blue Iris City.
Thinking about all the things I had been through, I felt I made the right decision—because the people of the city weren’t going to leave me.
They were going to frustrate my life, and try everything within their power to make life a living hell for me.....
I got to the border of the city and sighted two hefty guards—standing with a cold look.
Their looks and their height managed to send shivers down my spine, before I managed to think—
I needed to cross the border, but how?
I was still in lost in thoughts when I realized something—the guards were feeling drowsy.
Finding it interesting, I hid and relaxed—watching as I wanted to find out about their next move, when I suddenly became shocked….
They sat on the floor and dozed off quickly, and a smugly smile appeared on my lips.
It was just like the moon goddess was with me in this journey—
I quickly made to cross the border when everything I had suffered, the pains, the infliction, the tears, and the rejections came rushing to my mind.
I shut my eyes tightly, not wishing for any tears to drop again—but I quickly decided within me on the next course of action to take.
Enough was enough—
The people of Blue Iris City needed to face a little of the sufferings that they all subjected me to face.
I looked around slowly as I picked up a handful of sand with creased brows—
“Moon Goddess….hear my cry, For with a burdened heart, I call up to you!”
“Deal with the people of Blue Iris City for me, and the Alpha shouldn’t be excluded—” I said, then poured the sand where I picked it from.
I honestly didn’t know what I was saying—but I felt something prompted me to say it.
Somehow, I also felt that whatever I did worked but how?
“Was the Moon Goddess there with me?” I couldn’t help but ask myself, as I looked around confused.
“Hey, who’s there?” I suddenly heard a husky voice loud behind me, and I stood shocked to my bones at a particular spot.
