Chapter 3: Chapter 3
Elsa Cornick
" I reject you as my mate. Now leave !"
Her heart broke into pieces. He refuses to spare her a look instead turned his back at her. She couldn't take a step forward cos she fear he would snap her neck. He doesn't want her as his mate. She was a weakling after all, she thought to herself .
" you can't do this to me ,please " she pleaded hoping he can save her from this heart break.
" GET OUT!" he roared at her without turning to face her. It began to feel as though he was hiding his identity from her. She only wanted to get a glimpse of what he looks like but he won't turn around.
She knew not to push more so she said to him " I Love...
" ELSA WAKE YOUR ASS UP !"
Elsa woke up instantly and reality hits her. It was a dream. She has never been this grateful in her life. She didn't know what she would do if her mate ended up rejecting her.
The pounding on her door reminds her that she woke up cos of the sound. Elsa hurriedly went to get the door, she was sure it was one of her cousins or even both maybe, Amora and Bianca.
She opened the door and she wasn't surprised to see them standing with a mischievous look on their faces " What do you want ?" Elsa asked annoyed. They had to interrupt her nice sleep, she thought. Her rudeness would surely be punished, she knew that already
The eldest placed her hand on her waist and glared at Elsa like a witch " Are you talking to us in such a manner you weakling ?"
She mentally rolled her eyes and knew this was going to be hard. Most time she always ends up with a slap on the face. " I'm sorry. What may I do for you ?" She corrected and it worked for her.
Bianca smirked" Good, I need you to wash my clothes. They've been in the Laundry room since yesterday and haven't been touched "
Elsa's heart sank deeply. She hates doing their laundry. She prefers to do the house chores and go on errands and why is because they always make her wash the same clothes more than ten times, she isn't exaggerating at all. They always want to see her suffer.
" But..t I thought the dry cleaner came home yesterday " she stuttered and that ended her with a smack on the face. She was taken aback and didn't see that coming.
Amora was the one that slapped her " I've told you to stop talking back at us when we give orders "
She bowed her head " I'm sorry "
" Now go downstairs and do what you are supposed to do "
" yes," she said to Amora who looked at her with so much hatred in her eyes " I'll do as you say "
" Good, now you can leave "
Elsa waited for them to leave but they had no motive so she left instead to do what they wanted her to do. She hasn't even had breakfast nor has she taken her bath. She thought she would have the time to rest since they needed to go to a party but then luck wasn't on her side after all.
She let out a sigh as she saw the pile of clothes littered around in the Laundry. This would take her hours, she thought to herself. She bent down to put all the clothes together. She was banned from using the washing machine as it was a crime for her to use it. She has to use her hand to wash all the clothes. She found a bucket and fixed what she needed to use to do the Laundry. Her heart sank badly.
She heard the front door open and it seemed to be her aunt, her uncle's wife.Amora and Bianca went to welcome her cos they knew she had good news for them. There have been speculations that their family was invited to the biggest party in town and the alpha of the red moon pack would be present. A lot of werewolves would like to meet this alpha cos of his influence.
Rumor had it that he already has a fiancée and she is the prettiest in the state. Every household received the invite to the party but Elsa knew she won't be going. Her aunt won't let her leave the house and her uncle is always in support of what his wife does.
" Mum we've been waiting all day for you, " Amora asked her mother who sounded excited too
" Oh dear! You won't believe what happened " Leah said excitedly.
Her children bore their eyes at her waiting eagerly for the good news " I received the invite. You two will be going to the party !" She said and her children squealed excited at the news.
" I can't believe it, mom. I'll get to meet the mysterious alpha, Xavier"
" I know dear but remember girls he has a fiancée "
Bianca hissed " I wonder how she was able to capture his heart "
" I heard she is a model and also a daughter to a popular alpha, " Leah told her daughters
" if only Dad was an alpha, I knew I would stand a chance, " Amora said with a pout.
"It's okay girls. You'll get to meet other guys too. There will be influential men too and I heard that other alphas would be there so embrace yourself cos I have it in me that you'll find your mate there and they will be alphas too"
The two girls squealed excitedly. Elsa scoffed from where she was " As if " she muttered to herself.
" ELSA!"
She came off her reverie due to the roar of her name. She snapped her head to the person and it turned out to be her aunty.
" yes ma'am " she answered with a bow of head. Leah was holding a pile of clothes and threw it at Elsa " Here are my clothes. I want them to be sparkling clean "
Elsa had no choice but to nod her head but Leah wasn't satisfied with that "Don't you have a mouth to reply?" she shot her a hard glare.
" yes Aunt, I'll do as you say," she said with a heavy heart. Deep down she wished she had the ball to talk back at her but she was scared of another lash of cane she always received from her uncle when she talked back at his wife or children.
" Good. You worthless piece of shit " Leah spat and left the laundry room. Elsa felt bad for herself. She has no friends or savior. This is what she was born to do after all. To serve her uncle's family. She always wondered if she would get to meet her mate. Would he be able to save her? Would they let him take her away, she wonders sadly. Meeting him will be the best thing ever but she had this doubt in her that he was going to reject her. Her dreams were a prove of that.
" I'm a curse after all. I killed my parent and I think this is my punishment" she said with a lone tears.

Elsa went back to her room after doing the laundry. She needs to take her bath. Her body felt so sore from washing. Her hands turned white already. She was really tired but didn't have the right to say it out loud. She first crashed on the bed immediately after she got inside. She let out a sigh of relief " I'm so freaking tired " she admitted
After a few minutes of relaxing, she got up and made her way to the bathroom.The rest of the family had gone to the party. She wish she could go too but they won't let her .Suddenly a thought cross her heart .What if she broke a rule just for today?she thought to herself. She had been obedient enough for quite some time, There won't be anything wrong with going out to see the party right?she thought to herself again and a wide smile came across her face. She heard there would be lots of prominent people there. What if she finds her mate too, she wonders.
