Secrets

The Day the Future is Decided

Chapter 31

                Oliver’s POV

                How could she do this to me? It has been a month and a half since she left. Why? Why would she leave her own mate in the time of war?  My beautiful sweet Elouise. She left me. She left me after everything. What did I do wrong? I thought I was a good mate. I love her with everything I have. I want to live with her for eternity. I want a family with her. I want children with her. A beautiful little child. She would be a brilliant mother. I could never have a child now.

                I feel like I have lost everything. My mate was everything. She held me together. I felt like I lost half of myself that day. I went to bed with her in my arms thinking everything was fine. I wake up in the morning to a note. She was gone. She said she LOVED me. If she did why would she leave and abandon the Kingdom? She could have fought. I just wanted her to stay.

                That first day was horrible. Our room was a mess. I trashed it. I lost control of my wolf. Although, in all of the chaos I noticed she kept her wedding and engagement ring. That had to mean something, right? The palace went into chaos. Word spread like wild fire. Her parents were those that finally made me cry. They were heartbroken. Their only daughter had disappeared. They blamed themselves.

                Matt was a mess. Ali had gone too. My own sister betrayed me too. She betrayed her mate along with all of Ellie’s protectors. There were so many broken hearts that day. Mine was the worst of all. I felt like I had been broken into a million pieces. I wanted to break down. I wanted to cry. I didn’t. I locked away my emotions. I became like a robot. I became the perfect leader for the time of war.

                Training became harsher and more determined. I had to save the Kingdom even if Ellie couldn’t stand it. This was her purpose. She was a Silver Hinted Wolf with the powers of a Queen. She could have been the driving force in the war. She could have saved so many lives by being here. How could she do this? Would she come back? If she came back, would I even forgive her?

                Oh Goddess. Why did my mate leave me? Why? I have never felt so betrayed. A mate is there to love you as long as they live. Stand by you in their times of need. How could she do this to me? I laid out my heart for her. Yet, I feel like it has been trampled on and shredded.

                The only thing out of all of this that has let me be confused was the other girls saying that Ellie rushed in to see the Goddess and then suddenly all of this kicks off. It must have been the Goddess said something that scared Ellie and she gave up. That is the only thing I can think of. The goddess wouldn’t want her to leave when she is such a valuable asset.

                Right now. All I can think is that she left me. The pain in my chest won’t leave. I am half the man as I was before. I may never be the same again.

                Today, was the day of war. The armies had gathered onto a huge field surrounded my forest near the Royal Pack borders. Today was the day that would decide the fate of the Kingdom. We had all trained so hard. Today was the day. Not all of us would make it out alive. All because of some selfish greedy man.
