The Forgotten Luna (Adessa)

LADESSA.

"So, you want a divorce," I stated. I was trying my best to keep my voice from breaking.

"Adessa, I have a fiancée." He said in a calm tone.

"You had a fiancée a year ago, but you have a wife now."

"I can't remember anything about you, and I am sure it is Desiree that I want, not anyone else."

"Did you forget what she did to you?" I asked.

Instead of answering my question, he threw one back to me. "Tell me, did I love you? Are we together because we are in love?"

I swallowed. I could lie and tell him we were, but lying was not part of our relationship. We had always been honest with each other. ""No," I answered, keeping my head high.

"Thank you for your honesty. So are we together for convenience? Or what? But it doesn't matter anymore. Whatever reason brought us into this marriage, let's forget about it. I want a divorce, Adessa. I never wanted to marry anyone I didn't love. It was not how I grew up. I had always envisioned Desiree as my Luna."

His words were too painful to bear. He was still obviously in love with her.

I nodded my head as I did my best to stop my tears from falling. There was no use telling him I loved him. I would only make a fool of myself.

"So this is what I get after you pull me from my simple life and drag me to yours. Now that you have no need for me, I will just be discarded as if I were just a piece of trash."

"You will be compensated for your time."

He was surely insulting me. "I don't need your money."

He didn't say anything, but his jaw kept twitching.

"What did she promise you this time? Maybe I can counter it."

"Adessa, let Desiree out of this. This is between you and me."

"Of course, this is certainly about her." I took a deep breath before I continued. "You disappoint me, Kael. I had always thought highly of you, but this game you're playing is not amusing anymore."

He didn't say anything, but his forehead creased.

"Did you think I didn't feel that you suddenly became cold when Desiree came back to the territory? You became unavailable for me. You were always out of the house and not in the central office either. I didn't even know where you were most of the time. And then the next thing I knew, you were in a coma. Now you woke up with no memory of me. Just me." My tears finally fell, but I wiped them with the back of my hand as I met his stare. "Just tell me if you don't want me anymore. Stop playing me for a fool." "Adessa..."

I dropped my gaze from him and grabbed the folder. I opened it and took the pen that was lying on his desk. My hand was shaking while I signed the divorce paper.

After signing, I closed my eyes for a brief second to stop more tears from coming before I faced him again.

"I, Adessa Quejeros Daeyra, reject you, Alpha Kael Daeyra, as my mate." My body jolted slightly, and pain hit my chest.

A low growl escaped from his throat as his hand went to his torso. It is always the person being rejected who gets most of the pain.

This was the only pain I could give him, but I was sure it was nothing compared to the pain of my broken heart.

My hands balled into tight fists as I tried to steady myself. I closed my eyes before I continued with the process. "And effective today, I am stepping down as your Luna and the Luna of the Ironcrest Pack."

I waited for him to accept the rejection, but he didn't say anything. I slowly opened my eyes and saw him looking at me.

"End my pain, Kael..." I said in a low voice.

His jaw tightened, and there were many things flitting in his eyes, but my senses were already clouded with pain that I didn't bother to read his emotions anymore. "Accept my rejection, Alpha Kael."

"I, Alpha Kael Daeyra, accept your rejection, Adessa Quejeros. You are no longer my Luna and no longer the Luna of the Ironcrest Pack..." He spoke his words softly, but it was echoing in my head.

I dropped my gaze from him before he could see my tears. The bond was breaking, and it was taking too much of me not to fall on my knees.

I turned away from him and walked toward the door, trying my best not to falter from my steps. I held the handle but didn't turn it. Instead, I spoke without looking at him. "You met me in the river while I was trying to catch fish for dinner. On that same night, you asked me to be your Luna because you found Desiree in bed with another man. I saved you from her, and you saved me from hunger."

I opened the door before I continued speaking. "Thank you for the one year, Alpha Kael."NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

I didn't wait for him to acknowledge my words. I left his office and let my tears roll down my cheeks.

A part of me regretted signing the divorce papers and rejecting him, but there was only so much a person could take. Even before he lost his memory of me, I already felt him slipping away. Maybe he realized he still wanted her, and I was on the way that I needed to go. I didn't want to stay where I was not wanted, especially by the person I thought was on my side. Maybe Miranda was right—it was time to move on.

This was the end of Kael and me.
