Chapter 3: Rejected

Reedah's Pov

I couldn't move a limb since everything in me all felt numb. Was I dreaming or just reminiscing? What had gone wrong and why must I find myself in such a situation? Had something gone wrong somewhere or was it really real? I kept asking myself yet no answer.

I heard my wolf howling inside my head while I tried hard not to scream out my lungs knowing it could be real. How did I end up in so much mess?

"Who the hell are you! You dare deceive me!" A voice brought me out of my reverie.

Not just the voice but the murderous aura around me cannot be ignored. Who did I make a mess with? Who did I sleep with all night long and my body willingly accepted him?

Before I could say anything more, he threw my clothes at me and walked out of the room in anger. Shamefully, I grabbed them and managed to put them on quickly. Not long, a guard pushed the door open without knocking.

"Stand up and follow me!" he ordered, giving me a stern look.

Without another word, I followed the guard who led me to the throne room. As soon as I stepped into the room, I was pushed roughly to the ground.

"You made me lie with you, bitch! How dare you walk into my chamber!" He growled, his voice sending tingles as I looked up at him. He looked and sounded furious and I could sense his rage hovering over the throne room where we were.

My mind answered the question that he was wrong but my mouth wouldn't open up to say a word because how could I be so stupid to tell him that I didn't even know when I got to his chamber? All I could remember was that I was looking for my student.

"You are looking for Vivian and you ended up in his bedroom?" My thoughts also questioned me, laughing sarcastically to the excuse I was giving.

"Speak up!" The snarl came in from him again and I found myself hugging the ground, praying silently for it to open up and swallow me into it. "I'm speaking to you, h**lot! Say something before I snap your head off your neck, tart!" He bellowed one more time, accusing me of being a whore.

Then would someone help me explain to him that I didn't just have sex all by myself? Tears rolled down my cheeks in pain. Tears of being innocent and as well guilty of my action. What if I didn't accept to come to the pack house? What if I didn't leave to look for Vivian, would everything have been different?

"What the hell were you looking for in the Alpha's chamber?!" A female voice resounded into my ear in rage and I knew it would be the Alpha's substitute Luna, Anna.

I felt bittered.

I couldn't imagine the situation she would be in at the moment. A stranger slept with her mate, how impudent!

"Speak up, you whore!" She added and the guard that was beside me gripped me by my hair, raising my head to look at the raging faces in front of me.

I gulped down my saliva, heavily but couldn't maintain eye contact.

I watched him step down from his throne and began to walk to where I was. When he finally came face to face with me, an electric shock coursed through my entire body which brought me to a realization that I was mated to the Alpha. My lips parted in amusement, same as his as I captured his surprise to discover we were mates.

After a deafening silence, with our breaths mixed in a rhythmic pattern. But alongside the attraction of being mates, other emotions surged from him.

"You're my mate?" He asked, solemnly. His voice was gone from the shock.

Everywhere went tranquil, only my sobbing could be heard.

"I have no idea," I told him with a pleading tone and a snarl came out from him.

"What's your name?!" He snapped angrily, covering the distance between us and raising my head up to face him. "Answer me!"

"Reedah."

He let out a sarcastic laughter and began with his rejection. "I, Jasper, the Alpha of YellowStone Pack reject you, Reedah as my mate!"

It was the end for me.

I had just found my mate and I had been rejected at the same time. Why did life have to be so hard on me this time? What have I done wrong? Was stepping my foot into the pack house my sin?

"I will never be your mate neither would you be mine. Leave here this instinct and get rid of anything that will link us together, is that clear?" He warned, aggressively but I kept crying.

That was my only hope.

He gave me one more look before he passed me and walked away out of the throne room. Did he just leave me all alone like that?

"I hope now you can understand that you don't have any place with the Alpha. If you think you are his mate and have every right to sleep with him and bore him a child then I guess you know now that you're wrong. My Alpha will never have someone like you as his mate, not even an Omega to bear his child. So, find your square root and be a good girl," Luna Anna said bitterly, her face stern like an ice, her eyes blurring red like she would churn me up any moment.

I lowered my gaze from her to avoid the devious countenance she was wearing on her face while I prayed silently that she wouldn't get more upset and end up destroying me. I would be so glad if she spared my life and she did.

I saw her legs take some steps away from me before she also stormed her way out of the throne room. As soon as I heard the door to the throne room shut out, I fell to the ground, ready to cry out my eyes.

The guards were the ones who obstructed my cries, telling me to take my leave and that the Alpha must not meet me there any longer. It took me a whole lot of courage to raise myself from the ground before I began to stagger away, making my way out of the pack house back to my home where there wouldn't be any humiliation.

I pledged to myself at that moment that I would never have anything to do with the Alpha. I had rejected him also and would make sure I never get to meet him again in my life.
