Chapter 5

Julia's pov.

Alpha Kane growled at me, rendering me weak all of a sudden. I fell on my knees, unable to keep my head up. I could feel everyone's glares on me, I knew they all hated me at that moment. But none of this is my fault, I never meant for this to happen.

If I could take it all back, I would. Being mated to the big, bad Alpha is not something I intended to happen.

“What the hell is this!? What's going on!?” Selena was the first to speak, and she was not happy at all. I remained with my head lowered in front of them, unable to even look up.

“Tell me this isn't true, Alpha Kane.” She sobbed.

“Kane! Is this true? Is she saying the truth? Is she your mate?” The queen mother bombarded her son with questions while I wept silently.

Alpha Kane would never want anything to do with me, he would never call off his engagement with Selena, the daughter of an Alpha, to be with me.

What scares me the most, is the fact that I would lose my life if the Alpha decides to reject me. Everyone knows, that if the Alpha rejects his fated mate, then she would die. Of what use am I to anyone anyway? He wouldn't care if I died.

“This is nonsense! This is an insult!” I heard a masculine voice yell and I slightly lifted my eyes to find a pair of raging eyes glaring at me. He was draped in royal attire, a beautiful woman beside him who was equally staring at me hatefully. I guessed that they were Selena's parents.

They both stared at me like they were going to kill me, everyone present at the ceremony had hate written all over them as they stared at me. The queen mother was in shock, looking almost disappointed. I felt terrible.

“Alpha Kane, say something!” Selena cried but the Alpha remained silent. His eyes were still on me, getting me even more anxious. He wasn't rejecting me, he wasn't accepting the truth either. His silence was killing.

“Dylan!” He called out and I jerked.

“Yes, Alpha.” Dylan came to stand beside me. I could only stare at Dylan's shoes, not willing to look up at his face.

“What is your girlfriend talking about?” His cold and brutal voice came again, causing my heart to skip a beat.

What did he mean? Did he not feel the mate bond as well? I'm sure he did!

“I'm not lying… I'm sorry.” I muttered, choked by my own tears.

“Take her away from here.” He ordered and Dylan grabbed my arm out of nowhere. A gasp escaped my lips as he pulled me up from my kneeling position, forcing me to walk behind him.

I tried to free myself from his grip but he was way stronger than I was and easily pulled me out of the hall. I was able to get a glance at the Alpha just before Dylan pulled me away.

“Let go of me!” I screamed, as if regaining all my strength all of a sudden.

“Leave my hand you cheat!” I yanked my hand away from his with great difficulty. The impact caused me to stagger backwards, almost hitting the wall behind me.

“Is that why you're doing this? Because I cheated on you?” He scoffed but I glared at him, wondering why he would think such a thing about me.

“I spent a year loving you, but you still don't know anything about me. Do you really think I would fake all of this for revenge?” I asked, tears stinging my eyes.

“Isn't it clear? My cousin, the Alpha has obviously proved that you are faking it! He's not your mate! You just want revenge on my family for what I did to you.” He continued. I craved so much to punch him across the face as hard as I could.

“Listen Julia,” his sighed, rubbing his eyes. “I can talk to my cousin and he can forget about all of this embarrassment. All you have to do is take me back.”

I couldn't help but laugh at his statement. I was not laughing because anything was funny, I was laughing because of my unfortunate life. I can't believe what I have been reduced to.

“There's nothing funny Julia, I'm making you an offer. End this charade at once and I will make you mine, everything will be the way it supposed to.”

“I'd rather die than have anything to do with you ever again.” I gritted my teeth, folding my arms across my chest.

Dylan is the least of my worries at the moment, what would I do if Alpha Kane decides to reject me? My life is on the line at the moment.

“Oh please! You should be thankful that a man of my caliber wants anything to do with you. No one will ever accept a lowly Omega like you! Your life will be ruined without me!” He scoffed loudly.

I fought back my tears, even though his words hit me like a spear. I felt myself getting weaker and weaker. I just wanted to leave the pack house, I wanted to be with my family.

Where is Alex? Why wasn't he in the hall with everyone else?

“Do you even know the gravity of what you have just done out there? I'm offering to save your life and you're acting stubborn!”

“I really don't have time for this Dylan. I don't want to speak to you and I definitely don't want any compromise with you. Just let me go.” I tried to walk away but he held my wrist again, pulling me back.

“Dylan!” I cried out.

“You’re not going anywhere, not until you fix everything you've destroyed! Do you even know the commotion you caused in there?” He argued, resisting my attempts to get away from him.

“I am not making any of this up! Please let go!” Tears flowed down my cheeks as I tried to fight my way out of his grip.

“Leave her at once!!”
