Chapter 131: Great Sorrow
[Edward’s P.O.V.]
I was watching TV in my room, bored out of my mind. None of the TV shows on any of the channels were entertaining or informative. I could feel my brain cells dying from just watching them. But if I didn’t watch TV, there was nothing else I could do in this room.
When Emily came to take care of me, she would prepare a lot of food and drinks for me. She also like to talk, but not about the pack. Just trivial things.
And it seemed that she had modified the door locks so that they could only be locked from the outside. Basically, she would lock me in whenever she left, claiming that it was for my safety as the evil forces that caused my car accident were still lurking around. But she promised that when the time was right, she would return to the pack with me.
To be honest, I was skeptical of her words, and the fact that she had locked the door made my trust in her waver.
Although she was concerned about me, I couldn’t stand why I had to be treated like this. I planned to continue observing for another day or two before making an attempt to leave and see what was truly happening beyond these walls. If she lied to me, she would pay a heavy price for it.
Ever since my wolf stopped me last time, I had managed to suppress my desires and refuse to have sex with her four or five times after that. I had gone from having a little sexual interest in the beginning, mainly to vent everything that had been pent up, to not having any sexual interest in her at all. But this wasn’t just because of my wolf, it was also because she seemed to want to have sex with me so badly only to prove something.
Even though I had rejected her and even berated her for her actions, she would still ask to serve me as if nothing had happened. And this made me even more disgusted. I didn’t understand why the moon goddess would arrange for her to be my mate when I couldn’t seem to feel any love for her at all.
“Emily, if you keep locking me in here like this, I think I’ll have to break the door down and go out,” said I to her as the television continued to broadcast a boring show.
“Darling, I’m not locking you up at all. I’m just protecting you. Just wait a little longer. We should be able to return to the pack in a few days.”
“Oh, why within a few days?”
When I asked this question, I suddenly felt something amiss with my body. A huge emptiness enveloped me and I heard a distant voice.
“I, Rory Jeffrey Garner, reject you, Alpha Edward Lancaster of Sunset Pack, as my mate.”
Initially, the voice was soft. But it continued to echo in my mind, growing louder and louder. And rather than feel pain, I simply felt a wave of disappointment and sadness in my heart.

Following that, a heart-wrenching pain assaulted me. I swore I had never experienced such pain before. My internal organs felt as if it had been torn apart by countless sharp knives before my entire body was crushed by a truck. I couldn’t speak, think, or breathe.
“Alpha! What’s wrong with you!”
I heard Emily scream, but I couldn’t control my body. I felt a sudden rush of hot liquid and I instinctively opened my mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood onto the carpet. I could also feel the blood ooze out of my nose and ears.
I simply curled up on the ground but nothing I did made me feel any better. I screamed and scratched my chest as hard as I could – it was as if tens of thousands of ants were gnawing at my heart. My heart was beating at least 500 times a minute and my head hurt so much that it felt like it was about to explode. Still, none of these pain could compare to what I felt in my heart. It was literally broken.
I was too weak to make a sound and my wolf was in the same pain as I was. I felt like I was losing my mind. I heard Emily screaming and I could tell that someone else had come in but I couldn’t tell who. Then, I felt my body being dragged somewhere.
I closed my eyes and saw a vision of a woman’s back. It was vague but familiar. I ran after her, reaching out my hand to hold onto her. But no matter how much I ran, I could not reach. The desperation suffocated me and I felt my whole body break out in cold sweat and slowly go numb.
My consciousness began to fade as I sank deeper into the darkness. Was I dying?
My head felt extremely heavy and right before I lost consciousness, I was hit by another wave of pain by the same voice.
“Edward, I love you. Take care of yourself.”
