2- Rejected

Maya’s POV

No matter how much I tried to hide and ignore it, there’s still a part of me that wants my mate. Fae agrees with me on this. But I had to be strong for our sake. I shouldn’t let them continue doing what they were doing to me. My birthday is the only thing that keeps me from this pack, and since it’s “D” day, it also means that it is now time for me to execute the plan that I had brewed for a very long time.

To begin with, I woke up earlier than necessary. I have planned my escape, and I am not going to let anyone or anything stop me. I have decided to live outside the pack, and I thought it would be a lot better if I went rogue. Alpha Rhoden will not let me leave; I’m sure of that. He wanted to torture me, and seeing me die will not be enough. It will never be enough for him.

Feeling indifferent, I made my way to the kitchen. I’ve heard voices, and I don’t know where they came from. It was like whispers, so I just ignored it and continued my preparation. I don’t fear living alone because I can protect and provide for myself.

Being an omega and working in the pack house, I earned a small amount of money. But it was so little that it wouldn't be enough if I relied on it alone. Good thing I had the ability and was stronger than others that I managed to sneak and go to neutral territory and fight rogues and other werewolves. Being a woman with no scent and having not shifted in front of anyone, they often lowered their guard and felt confident that they could take me down, but ended up losing and becoming undefeated champions for 3 consecutive years.

I’m done with the breakfast when they gradually come into the dining hall, and I move fast to serve them. They were warriors and needed to be ready for training, so they had to move fast, and I needed to keep their pace. Just as I was about to go back to the kitchen to get another set of pancakes, Aurora, Beta's daughter, got in.

"Jinx, where are you going?" she asked, her hand gripping mine. Everyone was sneering at me and giving me a "time for a show" face.

‘This jinx will get beat again. ’

‘It is show time’

‘When can I try to beat this bitch of a jinx to a pulp?’

I heard those voices again. I looked around and saw that everyone was looking at me and smiling wickedly. Then it hit me: I could hear their thoughts. Just as a smile was about to come into my face, I held it in and said casually, "I will just get another batch of pancakes for you and the others." I want to congratulate myself for saying it calmly, even though I already imagined her head hanging by her shoulder before it went off.

I saw her hand go up, and I heard her thoughts saying,

‘You are Nick’s mate, huh?" I will not go easy on you, bitch. You are trying to get Nick from me. '

So she knew it too. Maybe the bastard told her that. I predicted that she was going to slap me, but I still stood my ground. I don't want her to get any idea about what's inside my head. I prepared myself for the pain and held my ground. Fae was so angry, but I told her not to get in the way. It will be troublesome and might affect our escape if I fight back. This is going to be over soon as long as this bitch thinks that I am helpless and powerless.

Aurora got tired of hitting me and decided to leave me, followed by her minions. The other pack members who were about to eat didn’t stay either and just took their food and left as well, while I stayed lying on the ground.

"You know, you can get up now; they are gone." I heard someone say, so I opened my eyes and looked up, and there he was the Gamma. "Come on." As I heard that, I stood slowly, acting helpless and in fear, and asked him,

"How did you know?"

"Heal yourself already," he said.

"No, I can't."

"You can't or you won't?"

"What are you trying to say?" I asked; there was nothing in his thoughts, so I didn't know what he was trying to accomplish.

"You know very well what I'm trying to say."

I told him, "I don't know what you are talking about," and planned to leave him there. As I turned away, he told me,

"If that is what you want, so be it. We are not close enough for you to feel at ease with me, but know that I am always watching over you." then I hear his thoughts.

‘ This girl doesn't want anything to do with me. Maybe she thinks that I am one of the other pack members who blamed her for everything.'

Before he could say anything in his mind, "I don't want to be here. I am leaving."

"If that is your decision, it is fine with me. See to it that you are going to take care of yourself, and none of this will happen to you ever again."

‘I want to add; come to me if you need anything.’ I heard him say it in his mind.

"Why are you like that to me?" I asked, and he looked at me.

"I believe in you. Especially in Luna Arwen's case. You came to me that day, and we were too late. It was my fault for not coming with you as fast as I could. Another thing is that I felt you that day. If not for Alpha Rhoden's howl, you might have. When we saw Luna Arwen pinned to that wall, you were about to throw me out to get out of my grip.”

"Why didn't you say anything?"

‘I wanted to, but the situation did not allow me. I knew right there and then that everything would turn out to be this way. I am not saying anything. I am only helping you at any time you need it,' he says in his thoughts.

"They won't believe it," he just said. I looked at him and turned around, saying, "Be at ease; I am fine and won't be needing your help for the time being, and I hope in the future." After that, I went up to get the laundry but still heard what was on his mind.

‘I know you are different. I can see it in your eyes. You can take care of yourself just fine. If we are going to meet again, I hope you can treat me as your father, because for me, you are a daughter I never had.’

I make sure to remember those thoughts and continue walking.

Here I am again, in front of the future Alpha Nick's room, early in the morning. I didn't feel anything, though I could smell them and what they were doing inside. I knocked and opened the door, and I stood by the door. There he was, the future Alpha. Nick bangs a she-wolf. He was looking at me with shock on his face, his cock inside his whore for the day's pussy.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Didn't I tell you I didn't want you near my room?" He asked, taking out his dick from his whore's pussy before approaching me.

Without even dressing up, he said the words. "I, Nick Smith, future alpha of the Red Moon Pack, reject you, Maya Jones, as my mate and future Luna." The woman's face looked shocked, but she got over it instantly as soon as it registered in her mind what had just happened. I had no time for them, so I accepted his rejection right away.

"I, Maya Jones, daughter of the Moon Goddess, accept your rejection, Nick Smith, future alpha of the Red Moon Pack." After I said the words, Nick held his heart and cried hard. He was hurting, I'm sure. He was howling like crazy, which made Alpha Rhoden, Aurora, and other pack members run into his room.

"What's going on here?" Alpha Rohden asked. I faced him and saw the Gamma behind him looking at me worriedly.

"I accepted his rejection," I answered blatantly. Alpha Rhoden looked at me and Nick. The shock was all over his face.

"What did you do to my son?" I don't believe what you say. "If he had rejected you, you should be the one writhing in pain right now and not him," he said in denial. How Nick found out that I was his mate is a mystery to me; as I’ve said, I had no scent. If being mates made him smell me, it only means that we are really fated. So why did the moon goddess let this happen?

“You can choose not to believe me; I don’t give a shit. I did not know that the future alpha was this weak or that even the acceptance of his rejection was unbearable for him. You can ask the bitch over there." I said it mockingly.

"You lying bitch, what did you do to him?" he asked again and was about to lash out at me when Beta Edward intervened.

"Let us bring Nick first to the infirmary," and he carried the naked Nick to the infirmary while Aurora covered him up with a quilt. All the other pack members were accusingly staring at me. Alpha Rhoden was staring at me angrily and said,

"We are not done yet. You will be staying in the dungeon."

"Who said that?" I asked.

"You are not to disobey your alpha," he replied, leaking out his aura. Everyone around me was in fear and bared their necks for submission, but I did not. I was looking into his eyes, and the shock on his face was priceless. He was furious and, at the same time, wondered why I was not cowering in fear.

"Isn't it interesting, Rhoden?" I asked and looked him in the eye. The Gamma, Aurora, and others were looking at me, wondering.

'How did she do that?’

'Why is she not affected by the Alpha’s aura?

‘why is she not submitting to Alpha Rhoden?"

‘Did she just call Alpha Rhoden by his name?

All those questions are on everyone's mind right now. I took advantage of their shocked situation and said, "I, Maya Jones, daughter of the Moon Goddess, denounce you, Alpha Rhoden Smith of the Red Moon Pack, as my alpha. From here onwards, you will not have any right or anything to do with me."

I felt the bond breaking, and, just like Nick, they started writhing in pain. I saw how hard it was for the Gamma, so I went to him and talked to him in his mind.

'What is your name Gamma?' He looked at me a little confused, so I talked to him again.

‘ You can tell me your name through your thoughts. I would be able to hear it. Come on, tell me. ’

Still shaking, he nodded his head and told me, ‘Andrew, Andrew Davies.’ I smiled and put my hand on his heart to heal him.

‘stay acting like you are in pain so they won’t notice. I don't want you to be in a hard situation because of me.' I said that and left.

'Thank you, Maya,’ were the last words I heard from him as I started to run away from the pack.
