Chapter 1- His offer

"I, Lexus Arendelle from Starry Curse Pack reject you, Caroline Ester of Starry Curse Pack."

Caroline Ester gave Lexus a bored look, she's expecting Lexus to reject her since she has no wolf and no scent at all.

Despite the relationship they have, that does not stopped Lexus to reject Caroline.

"I, Caroline Ester accepts your rejection." with a heavy heart she turns her back at him and went straight to her chamber.

Ready to bury herself to self isolation and drunkness.

CAROLINE ESTER'S POV

"Be my Mistress, Caroline."

I look at him, head to toe. He has the audacity to appear infront of me.

Is he seriously asking me to be his mistress?.

After he rejected me last night?

Seriously??? After last night?!

My eyes were wide open after hearing these 4 words from his own mouth.

As I stare into his deep blue eyes, I wanted to force myself to believe that he is the man that I love- Lexus Arendelle.

"That's bold of you, Alpha Lexus." I gave out a sneer, fighting his direct stares at me.

"I rejected your love but that does not mean that you are no longer under my possession. You are mine, Caroline." he said without a hint of hesitation.

How can I accept his offer when I was supposed to be his wife whom he chose to reject as his mate?

"From your mate, down as a mistress?. What a quick transition that is. You know me, Lexus. I know that you know me very well...what do you want?"

His hand was stretched, pointing towards me. "You. I want you, Caroline."

I bite my lower lip, suppressing the anger that is about to explode inside of me. "You don't want me. I know that you don't...because if you truly want me then why would you reject me as your mate?"

There are emotions all over me...

Fear, hatred, agony, pain, and jealousy.

He has the chance to choose me, in front of all those other werewolves who doubted our relationship but he chose to make their doubts true. He fed their assumptions by rejecting me.

I cannot swallow the bitter truth of knowing that he cannot fight for me...for what we have and most importantly for the relationship we want to build in the future. This is making me feel like for the past 2 years of my life with him as my man...it was all one-sided. He never really had a plan for us while I had a novel of how I wanted our story to flow.

Lexus Arendelle is standing in front of me, spitting these nonsense questions that are making me want to throw up. I lifted my head to have a better view of his face, I was hoping that maybe he will look apologetic because of what he have done and feel sorry for what he made me feel.

That grin.

Not even an ounce of regret is seen on his composure.

The moment I saw that his face and his lips were curved into mockery, I know that this relationship is over.

" I do not want to be your side chick or to be any other man's side chick. I cannot settle for a role like that in your life. It is only between you keep me or lose me."

He took steps moving closer to me. The sound of his footsteps is all I can hear, my heart is beating like a crazy psycho wanting to escape mental facility.

Finally, he stop inches away from me and the icy stares he gave me, he took the last step much more making himself closer to me then lean his head on my ears.

"Fine. Replace me then I will accept you turning down my proposal. If you don't find someone within a week, then as the future Alpha ruler, I will have the power to force you to become my mistress. I wonder who will accept a werewolf without a she-wolf or a scent. " he scoffed.

My jaw dropped. How can he even call that as a proposal?. The man whom I told about my deepest insecurities is now using those insecurities, trying to tear my guard down.

I put my hands on the side of my body. Uselessly, I clenched my fist knowing that I cannot be good enough to fight an Alpha's Order.

"Fine. I can definitely find someone much better than you " I composed myself when he started to take his steps, away from where I stand.

****

That was one of the biggest decision I have ever made so far.

Lexus Arendelle is a son of an Alpha of Starry Curse Pack which makes him a powerful werewolf inside the Kingdom. I have no match to him because he is an Alpha and I, on the other hand is nothing much, I am even less than normal werewolves since I have not yet gotten my own scent and she-wolf.

"THE FUCKKK? THE AUDACITY OF THAT CRAXY BASTARD!!" I look at Addi, flaming in anger as she repeatedly curse Lexus's name. "He must be so dumb, what kind of a woman he thinks you are!" she is fuming in anger as she spit out every word.

Addi Aforeman is one of my close friends in the kingdom. I told her about the conversation I had with Lexus and she is even angrier than I am.

"So, what are you planning to do now? How can you find someone within a short period of time? Do not tell me that you will be going back to his life and be his mistress."

I rub my temple in distress.

I never imagine myself being someone's mistress. I am 18 when Lexus asked me to secure myself so that we can be together when we are 20 and 21. Now, I am 20 and he is 21. If only I knew that he wants me to prepare becoming a mistress, I would have been out of the equation a long time ago.

Charmed by his masculinity and personality, I never even dare to talk to other man werewolves in our kingdom.

"Where can I find a man who will be willing to have me as his mate." I groan in frustration.

I know that I don't have the power nor wolf or scent to be called as a werewolf.

Who would want a wolfless mate?

****

After ranting to my best friend, I went back to our manor.

I rolled my eyes and put my hands on the side of my body when I saw Aunt Therese, sitting in front of a couch with her feet rested on the small sala set.

"Let me guess my little wannabe niece, got rejected by Alpha Lexus?"

I just shrugged my shoulder and tries to pass her without having a meaningless conversation.

"Like what I am always telling you! Let me find you a husband or else you will grow old alone. Stop leaving in your own little fantasy world." She said, which I ignore.

I walk towards the hallways, heading to my room which is at the end of this hallway.

That woman from earlier is my Aunt. Not literally my aunt because I am adopted and my father is an Alpha. However, I was born with all these unlucky characteristics.

I, Caroline Ester is born without a she-wolf, grow up without her real parents and betrayed by Lexus, my love for how many years.

I sat on my working chair facing my working table with my laptop on it.

I look at the chapter I am writing...

'The Life of the Unchosen'.

Rejected.

Unwanted.

Threatened.

I always felt this way and I thought that if I have him, a powerful man in the kingdom- Alpha Lexus, everything would be great.

Not until I realized it was not as fairytale as I thought it would be.

~~~~~~

I was too young to feel what it feels like to be hated by people, to be looked at as if my presence is an eye sore to them.

I never wished to be born, that was a sure fact.

The pressure was too high that even before I learn how to construct a sentence, I learned how to lie first, every single time the officials from the kingdom ask where my parents are- I had to lie.

My parents are rogues, my mother and father were an outcast in our kingdom and that made them become rogues. They wanted more freedom and acknowledgment.

"I do not know where are they sir, my mommy and daddy never returned after going to the forest."

That are the exact words that mom told me to tell to anyone who asks for their whereabouts. I was only 7 by that time, I was not really thinking much but I know that it was a lie.

Mom left me with my uncle and aunt. They thought, just because they are blood related that they would treat me any better than other.

And I was treated as badly as how the pack treated my parents. My mother used to visit me while trying to hide in another's identity.

"Mom. Can you please take me with you? I want to be a rogue as well."

Back then I never know what is the real meaning of what I was asking to be. I hear people gossip and I even heard it from my uncle's own mouth. They called them 'Rogues' and that is the very first time that I knew about them being rogues. Due to the unfair treatment that I am receiving from one of my own blood. It gives me the idea that I wanted to become a rogue, just like my mom and dad.

That is why I had to ask her that question.

"Mom. Can you please take me with you? I want to be a rogue as well."

But my mom was shocked to hear me ask about becoming a rogue. Being a rogue is not really an ideal manifestation in our pack.

She picks me up and I lay my head on her shoulder. "M-Mom." with shaky tone, I wrap my little hands around her neck. I do not want for her to put me down.

"Auntie and Uncle. They were the same as other wolves here, they are bad wolves." I complain.

I might have become a liar to other wolves but I am very truthful to my parents.

"Honey, what are you talking about? Uncle and Auntie promised your mom and dad that they will take care of you." Mom told.

I felt disappointment crawling over my system. It's a bitter truth to swallow that being relative is not always a good foundation of good relationship.

"Mom. They were not. They say mean things to me and they are not good werewolves." I can see mom's shocked face.

Mom must have trusted Uncle and Aunt too much that she was not ready to know what kind of people they are.

Any mother who love their child will take her away immediately after hearing her child confessing such maltreatment.

My mother did.

She and my dad...

They tried to take me away from the cruel world we are livin'.

My parents tried.

So hard that it caused their lives.

From an early age, I knew that I will grow up not having my mom and dad.

That's all I can remember.

Before they were killed in front of me, they never thought of anything else but my safety.

Nothing else- they were selfless at that time. How I wished that they screamed for me to save them because with my little hands and powerless wolf spirit, despite knowing it's a defeated fight already- I will still fight for them.

"Run! Run my child!" Mom screamed at me while Dad is trying to fight the bad man.

I was a child.

A small one who was enlightened too early by how cruel this realm is.

I run, like what my mother asked me to do.

"No matter what happened. Do not look back!" That is what my mother told me.

"AHHHHH!" I heard a scream of pain. It was a cry of pain.

My eyes are blurry. The tears rushing down my face's making my sight blurry.

Disobeying my mother- I stopped and looked back.

I covered my mouth and gasp. I should have followed my mom's words.

As I watch my mom and dad, lying on the grass ground while their body's having a fountain with their own blood.

I cannot think about anything else. I am too young to be in this situation.

I fall down, my knees were trembling in fear. I can even hear the crazy beat my heart is making.

"M-Mom...D-Dad." I called them, hoping they can hear me but they did not...their eyes are not even opening.

I look at them for the last time and gather all my tiny thoughts and little strength. I stand up and ran...somewhere that I do not even know.

Somewhere that I am not even sure if it's a safe place to go.

[12 years later]

When I was 7, I wished to be a rogue but I end up becoming an adoptive child of a single Alpha called Alpha Arthuro. That night, I was too exhausted by the constant running that I passed out somewhere in the woods. Alpha Arthuro found me laying unconscious on the ground and he brought me here.

Kingdom Starry Curse Pack.

One of the Kingdoms in the Realm.

The past is still something that cut my heart into pieces. From being a rogue's daughter, I became a princess but does that not changed my inevitable ill-fate.

Aunt Therese- the sister of my adoptive brother hates me to the core. She despise everything about me and she always tries to find a chance to send me off to different kingdom by setting me up to older mens at every event.

I always think that maybe....

I was born to be rejected.
