In the midst of a solemn moment, Alec Tawr from Lunar Crest pack pronounces, "I, Alec Tawr, reject you, Elara Wildewood, of our pack," his voice piercing the silence, leaving an indelible mark on her heart. The weight of his words shatters her, as shattered pieces echo within her soul.
The pain seizes her, its icy grip constricting her very spirit. With a anguished cry, she crumbles to the floor, unable to hide her despair. "Why?" she pleads, seeking answers.
Alec, his jaw clenched, seems pained himself. "Accept the rejection, El. End this," he commands, his voice tinged with harshness. She gives in to her tears, weeping uncontrollably, confessing, "But I want you."
He winces, his own emotions visible. "It's impossible. Accept the rejection," he repeats, though she senses regret in his voice.
Reluctantly, she concedes, "I, Elara Wildewood, accept your rejection from Lunar Crest pack."
