I took a step back and shook my head. “Don’t make us do this Lily, just get in the car” She said pleadingly.
“No” I went to walk between the cars when my father spoke up again, making me stop dead in my tracks, my blood running cold and my lungs restricting slightly.
“I, Alpha David” I turn and look at him and see a tear run down his cheek, his voice thick with emotion as he looks back at me, his eyes begging me to forgive what he is about to do.
“I, Alpha David of the Black Moon Pack banish you Lily Blackwood from the Black Moon Pack and hereby declare you as a rogue”
“No” I gasp as I feel my teether snap, making me stumble back. Alpha Damien grabs my arm to steady me as I turn my glare on my father. How could he do this to me? I am his daughter.
“I am supposed to be Alpha and now you fucking banish me” I scream enraged. My entire body starts shaking at what he just did.
“You turned it down and I haven’t given control yet to Reid. I have every right to banish you as Alpha of my Pack” He says before looking away. I turn before shoving Alpha Damien out of my way and he lands on the bonnet of his car before stepping forward and grabbing me. I start kicking and struggling to get out of his grip as he holds my arms trying to pull me around to the door of his car. He opens the door and I kick it closed.
“Stop fighting Lily,” Aria commands in her Alpha voice as it rolls over me. I scream in pain as I try to fight it.
My muscles tensing under her command, as sweat starts running down my neck as the pressure to submit becomes too much and brings me to my knees. Alpha Damien lets go of me and I brace my hands on the ground, trying to fight the command. I can feel Layla also struggling against her not wanting to give her the satisfaction of seeing us submit to her. Aria kneels in front me, as I grit my teeth. She pulls my chin up to look at her.
Tears are running down her cheeks and I can tell she hates hurting me. “I, Aria Rose Peyton Luna Queen of Alpha’s banish you Lily Blackwood from The Blood Moon and Black Moon packs until you are marked and mated to the Crescent Moon Alpha” The sadness in her eyes upon speaking the words that just destroyed me, makes my throat clog with emotion before something snaps and I lunge at her. Tackling her to the ground before strong arms rip me to my feet, pulling me against them.
“I fucking hate you, I fucking hate you Aria” I scream as I feel every link, I have to both Packs sever leaving me bare and with nothing. No title and no identity. I struggle against the arms wrapped securely around me before throwing my head back. I hear Layla growl in my head. The arms let go before I spin around to make a break for it. Alpha Damien grabs my arms.
“Stop or I will mark you where you stand Lily” He growls out.
“I would rather be a rogue than be your mate” I spit out, tossing him off me only to be grabbed by my own father. Alpha Damien walks to the trunk of his car and grabs something. I watch in horror as I see him grab chains from his car and chains my feet, which are violently kicking at him before his vice-like grip holds them and he secures them in place, before doing the same with my hands.
He then stands up and grabs my face with both his hands.
“I will undo them when you calm down” He said, his thumb brushing over my cheek. I start struggling to get out of them, I plead with my wolf to let us shift and she refuses retreating to the back of my mind where I can’t reach her. When Alpha Damien see’s I won’t come quietly he picks me up, dumping me in the passenger seat and doing my seat belt.
He then walks over to the driver’s side and I see my father, giving him a nod which pulls at my heart. He then starts the car and starts to drive away. I feel tears run down my face at the realisation they just banished me like a lowly Rogue.
************
We had been on the road for twenty minutes, I just stared out the window. Everything was changing, and I was losing all control of my life.
“This is a good thing, I told you everything makes sense” Layla excitedly said in my head.
“This is what you meant, finding our mate? How does that make any sense Layla, this isn’t a good thing? He is taking us away from our family. It’s a disaster”
She didn’t agree; I pushed her out, blocking her from my mind; I knew she was excited, but I didn’t share that excitement with her. I never wanted a mate; it would only end badly with the wolf I have. Why couldn’t Damien see that? Why couldn’t Layla see that?
When we were nearly to the city limits, my phone started ringing in my pocket. I tried to reach my chained hands back to retrieve it before giving up.
“Lean forward” Damien said. Making me jump, it was the first time he said anything since we started driving. I leant forward, and he snuck his hand into the back pocket of my pants, pulling out my phone. He glanced at the screen.
“It’s your grandmother” He said before answering the call and putting it on loudspeaker.
“Lily, you there dear” I nearly broke hearing her voice. I was going to miss her.
“Yes grandma, I’m here” I said, my voice breaking with emotion.
“Oh honey, have you left the City yet?” She asked.
“We are about to.” I said, not even trying to hide my disappointment.
Alpha Damien suddenly pulled off the road to the side. He then turned the car around, making me look at him.
“Do you want to see her before we leave?” He asked, glancing over at me. I nodded my head.
