Pain of rejection
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Emandra's heart tightens. Her feet just refused to move. Those lovely purple eyes of hers had to blink a couple times just to get a grip on the situation.
‘‘You …..how could you…?’’ Her voice broke into thousands pieces just like her heart. Paris was aware of her crush, she fucking knew he was her mate. Now everything made sense, Mirrod would always give in to every wish of hers, He came around very often, and now she knew just how vicious of a sister she has had all these years.
‘Why?.. Am I not good enough? …., I…. Love you, I have loved you long before now’’ Emandra’s voice came out less confident than she had hoped. she could not help but ask, she was woofless but she was not useless.
‘’Eman I can explain, we love each other and we plan on rejecting our mates’’ Paris explains still hovering over Mirrod like a dark cloud. Her hands rested on his chest. a defensive growl escaped her throat before could stop it. Her wolf was hurt and jealous.
‘’He is mine, he is my fated mate, created to love me’’’. She roared, her eyes flickering from purple to glittering red. her wolf was emerging, it fed her anger even more.
“‘No, I belong to Paris’’’ Without warning Emandra watched in disbelief as his canines sank deep into the making spot of her sister, time seemed to slow down. every second came a shattering pain. She clenches her chest, hitting it with her small fist trying to ease the pain.
She couldn't take more of it, her feet took off leaving the cheating couple, how could he not want her……why did it hurt so much? …, she ran out into the crowd, she composed herself, desperately cleaning her eyes and fixing her hair. It was night, no one would take note of her swollen eyes. All she needed was to get to the pond so she could let it all out.
But the goddess seems to have other plans. She spotted her mother from a distance walking over desperately toward her.
‘’Come there is an emergency’’ She dragged her away from the crowd, not giving her time to ask questions. Emandra had been to the pack house a good number of times. She knew the layout like the back of her hand. Her mother walked even faster dragging her along, she was having a hard time keeping up due to the pain from her heart and that on her heels.
They headed to the Alphas office. They got in and everywhere was quiet, her mother's beating chest was all that could be heard. She sank into the chair by her side and just before she could look around, Paris came running with Mirrod. Her dress was a mess, her hair wrinkled and her makeup smooched. It was all signs of their passionate moment.
Her heart hurt, and she raised her hand to her chest gently patting it. She could not tell them, not yet the room felt quiet for a while. Before Luna and Alpha cleared their throats, her father was present.
Emandra kept her eyes on the floor; she could not allow herself to break before Paris and Mirrod and most especially before her parents and the alpha.
‘’‘There is a problem’’ The alpha was first to speak, Emandra raised her eyes, meeting that of everyone, except for the alpha who appeared to be calm, everyone else had a worried look. she could guess no other person was aware of the reason behind the sudden call.
‘’‘Alpha Chase Lobswell of the moon crescent pack wants a she-wolf and not an Omega.”’ He glanced at her parents as if trying to weigh his words before he continued.
‘’He is ready to pay 4000 million dollars’’, she heard the slow gasp from everybody. It was a huge sum of money but she was not moved by it, she felt no parent should be willing to sell their children no matter how attractive the amount.
‘’The pack can use such money and also this could be the breakthrough of the alliance we have been hoping for’’ Alpha Roger Wicks continues.
‘’Albert as my beta and a member of the pack I couldn't think of anyone worthy enough to handle this task’’
‘’ task’’ Emandra sooff under her breath, making sure no one heard her. But who was she kidding, they were werewolves they could hear the slightest. Everyone chose not to interfere because her comment was irrelevant. Emandra could not help but stare at her father with pleading eyes, it was no task it was business and they all knew it
She was hurt but not cruel to wish for her sister or her to be separated, They were family. She bit her lips suppressing the sob which choked on her.
‘’I have always had a thing for your girls Ursula and prayed for Mirrod to be the mate to one of them’’ Luna Henrieta smiled at my mother. it was sickening watching my parents smile back as if this was not a big deal they were about to sell off one of their daughters to the cruel and ruthless of alphas of the realm
‘’Now since it was decided Paris will have to be given out as she is still to find her mate and she has amazing skills’’ Emandra felt her blood drained. yes, she knew what was next and it came like a storm.
‘’No… not Paris’’ Mirrod roared ‘’I love her and I have marked her’’ Mirrod held onto the crying Paris who sobbed into her arms like a baby.
‘’What have you done?" Alpha Rother Wick roared at his son but he sat unfazed.
“‘Why should he get the best, it has been Omega all these years”’. Mirrod looked back at his father with questionable eyes.
‘‘Emandra is my fated mate but I have loved Paris for a very long time, so long even before I found out about who my mate has been and I don't feel the connection I feel towards Paris with her, so I'm keeping her’’ Now it was time for everyone to be shocked but Emandra sat unfazed an unbordered
‘’‘Then this settled, Emandra would be given since the future Luna cannot be sold out’”. The words of her father fell like a slap to her face, so now it was no longer a favor but a deal.
"Since it's settled Emandra you go prepare, you will be leaving tomorrow”’ the Alpha announced,
“‘However you would in no circumstance open the veil, not until everything is settled and you are out of the pack. He shouldn't know we swapped the bride’’ She turned to her mother with pleading eyes but everyone was too focused on Paris. This hurt her so much that Paris was not the one sent away to her death. she needed their love and support not her.
“‘I promised him Paris there is no excuse for mistakes understood”’
He roared at Emandra making her flinch in fear retreating even deeper into her seat, everything felt like a terrible nightmare. One moment she was happy about her wolf and now she is about to be sold as a swapped bride to the Alpha. Everyone was happy and gushing over Paris, they all hugged and congratulated her for the mark. since they all wanted her gone, she was willing to leave without a trace.
‘’I have a request’’ she whispers barely audible, everyone stops and stares at her, they had forgotten about her
‘’Go ahead and be quick’’ her father snapped
‘’you have change’’ was all she could say
‘’Mirrod I want you to me’’ she continued with her eyes not leaving the floor, the sudden silence made her smile amidst her tears, she braced herself waiting for the pain and it did come.
‘’I, Mirrod Wicks, young Alpha of the snowfall pack, reject you Emandra Carter as my mate and Luna’’ she whimpered under the influence of the pain. Biting her lips she stood up taking her heels off.
‘’Thank you’’ she whispered amidst tears, her figure disappearing within the dark.

It's been hours and the sun was almost out. Emandra has been sitting on the floor of her room not sure if she understood anything…a servant had come in, to bring her food and water and after some time the same servant returned with her dress. She did not want to eat, she felt nothing, and her wolf had become weak and barely responded to desperate pleas for help. she wanted the pain gone, she could not bring herself to accept the rejection, she was heartbroken, how could he not see her love for him, how could he choose her sister over her? She had just gotten Emma, but just as quickly as she came, she was leaving, she felt so alone and rejected. “Why aren't you dressed yet?” Emandra had been in a daze for hours, she could barely feel herself. She looked up to her mother, she wore a fancy evening gown. It was then she looked out and realized it was the night she had been sitting all day. She had so much to ask, she wanted to say so much but found no voice or energy. Her mother calle

Emandra stood rooted not sure of what to say or how to react. “Sorry ……. I did not know you would………..’’ Chase nervously rubbed the back of his neck. He wanted to say he did not know she was naked but it sounded awful. ‘’I will leave now, see you in a bit’’ Chase leaves the room as fast as his legs could carry him. One more minute and he would be tempted to have those round pointing tits in his mouth. Emandra stood frozen. What had just happened wasn't she supposed to be his breeder, sooner or later he would have his way with her? A knock reminded her she was still naked. “Come in’’ she holds onto the towel tighter this time around Delilah smiles graciously. ”’ Alpha requests you join him for dinner’’ Emandra did not see why he was requesting when he could just order her around or command her. ‘’I couldn't find my clothes``’ Emandra looked rather defeated. She had brought some items over, however, it was nowhere to be found, the walk-in closet she stumbled upon was amazing.

The earth beneath her feet slipped. Chase was quick to get a hold of her. The pain was eliminated within her eyes. ‘’They said, I am not theirs’’ she whispered, barely audible for his ears only. ‘’Who are her parents?‘’ Chase turned to Albert who hissed at me. “How will I know? She is sold to you. I have payment for the years of love I provided. It was worth it. Albert walked out on them ‘’You should leave, my parents will never be hers. It feels good to let the truth out. We all have been suffocating all this year'’ Paris pushed Mirrod up Front. ‘’She should accept the rejection, we do not want her in our lives again. A baby dumb by her parents in another pack’s forest means she is cursed and not needed. Who wants something to do with a freak whose eyes are purple and hair as long as that of a serene one? I won't be surprised if they were just too ashamed to claim you as theirs, the reason why they dumb you’’ Paris words was harsh, but it added volumes. “‘I, Emandra Carter

Ever since the departure of Emandra, Mirrod, and Paris have been going at each other like there is no tomorrow. Yes, it was a good thing to watch the lovebirds bond and express their feelings. While everyone was happy, and waiting for the Luna ceremony, Luna Henrietta shared another view. She was not happy, she felt something was not right with everything that was happening. With the sun giving way to the moon. Luna Henrieta sneaks into the Alpha’s office. She had a hoodie over her head and her scent disguised. ‘’You know we should let the alpha know Luna" her maid tells her. It was not the first time they were making use of the secret passage hidden within common view and known just to royals. " He doesn't understand my fears, '’ Luna Henrietta sighs. She loves Paris, and she would want nothing more than to have her as a daughter-in-law, but the Absence of Emandra has made her weary of the looming danger slowly blowing within the horizon. They walked within the night, the secr

Emandra felt her breath hitched, she suddenly couldn't breathe. Something was taking hold of her body. Shadows hovered under her feet. ‘’We are at your service daughter of the moon’’ they said in unison. A sudden flow of energy surfaces within her, she is scared…scared of herself. Something was wrong with her and she could feel it. Whatever was happening was coming from deep within her, it was a part of her which had been suppressed for a long time. "Who are you? What do you want?" she asked, trying to step back, but it was of no use. They were shadows. The shadows stared at each other and laughed. ‘’When the moon shines at its brightest, so do you, daughter of creation, the one after her mother's heart, we are just servants. We serve to be served, the witches of Altera hold the key to all answers you seek. Seek them out and you shall know, but be warned. It all dwells down to a price, a price steep and deep’’ Emandra suddenly felt dizzy. So much power. ‘’I…I am not who you thi

Chase carries Emandra back to bed. When he was done dressing he stepped out for his office. Enzo and Delilah have been waiting for him. The moment they lay eyes on him everyone fell silent. He looked too good to have just woken up from a near-death situation. ‘’If you keep staring at me like that I might have your eyes plugged out’’ Chase joked. Enzo laughed nervously. He was happy to have him back. ‘’What has been happening in my absence?” Chase glanced down at the pile of files that needed attendance. ‘’The rogues vanished without a trace and nothing seems to be moving towards finding how or why they attacked us purposely’’ Enzo robbed the bridge of his nose. He was tired, it's been days of findings and tracing yet nothing could be found. ‘’We have had limited or no Rogues attacks in the past years. Hunting has always been their motive however this time they came with an objective. I feel war is just within our grasp'’ Chase, glances over to Delilah who has been quiet. It was v

The sound of shattered glasses rang through the rogue castle. Alpha Kendrick was furious. Not only did his men come back without the girl but they came back with the news of Chase being back on his feet and healthy as ever. ‘’Just one job and you can't get it done, how powerful is Chase Lobswell that you can kill him huh?’’ he raised one of the rogues to the air, his long claws digging into his flesh. ‘’Alpha we did inject him…we saw him fall to the ground and his breath felt numb ...we don't understand. Every alpha we have killed in the past has been with this method and now one lasted for a day’’ a second rogue said, trembling. His colleague was long dead as Alpha Kendrick toast the dead body to the floor, blood staining the white floor. Maids were quick to begin cleaning while the dead rogue was carried away. He was a devil but he was also a neat freak, something his sister hated so much. ‘’Bring forth the witches’’ Kendrick did not like disappointing his sister, she was his wo
Alpha's Swapped Bride Truth about him
Mara has not been herself ever since she visited with the queen of the kingdom of Rogues. She paid less attention to her duties and often had her mind in the clouds. How could she tell them all that the one they all served and were ready to give their life to was the same person plotting their demise? She avoided Luna and only presented herself when necessary. Mirrod walked into his father’s office fuming in anger, he just left his mother's chambers and their conversation was not a pleasant one. ‘’Shouting at your mother is not a great quality of a future alpha”’ Roger Wicks Cautioned his son. But Mirrod was not ready to hear any of it. ‘’How can she say Paris is not the right person for me? How can she tell me to go search for Emandra and apologize for everything, I mean who would want a late bloomer for a mate?’’ Mirrod groaned. Paris was his preferred woman, she was obedient, less nagging, and more productive. He has always wanted a woman who can protect herself, and Emandra

Alpha's Swapped Bride Happy at last
Everyone was still in shock when Sofia went ahead to stab her mother. ‘’Why?’’ Mrs. Anderson asked trying to face her daughter, but she only pushed her hard to the ground. ‘’This is for all the lies you told me. All the times you watched me suffer and did nothing.’’ Sofia did not feel remorseful at all. ‘’It's time”’ everyone heard Brandon announce as they put on their masks. Sofia was too late to react as the medication they had prepared themself, came falling on her body. It was not about it falling but threatening it was the main objective. Laan and Laya hover all over the territory making sure no one is left. Victory was finally theirs, but it cost them so much. ‘’Long live the king… long live the queen”’ the lycans all began chanting while the other soldiers joined in.

‘’One down’’ Minister Francherster sent words across. Moon Crescent had not only won the battle but the war. ‘’What do we do now?’’ Kelis asked stepping out of his tent. The gammas were doing a total clean before the area turned into a decaying center. ‘’Find the vampire queen, the only tip I have is the dark hills’’ Beta Enzo replied. Mrs Anderson may be a born vampire, but she was not from a royal family. Just like her husband, she has been power desperate making her surround herself with only people with similar thinking as her. Henrietta had not been the first. The vampire army was not just an army to be controlled by any reason why they had not been the one to attack. As the view of Altera came fort, Alpha Ben, Sarah, Paris, and Enzo watched from a good distance as Sofia Anderson all dressed up and ready for war launched for the Red Valley. The death of Keeper only made it easier for them to gain acess to the lands. ‘’They are here’’ Alpha Chase tells everyone. The ground tre

A dress containing more gold than the min, emandra had to put up with the heavy royal golden veil, as she dragged it along with her to the throne. It was only a matter of minutes before she could finally get out of it. As she walked up to her throne, Grandmother Reeker, stood on the front with a proud smile. Years it has been as she dreams of her grandbaby taking over, here her dream has finally become a reality. ‘’No turning, butting, tweeting, swearing, cursing’’’ Emandra listened carefully. She was not sure she would be able to keep away from swearing but saying I do at the moment was more important. She could not wait to get out of her dress. ‘’I Emandra, hereby accept to be the queen of Altera. To rule with a just hand and mind, to put my people first, and the be an exemplary ruler for the sake of the people and the world. I do so swear to bring Altera to greater heights’’ The scepter of royal handed to her by her grandmother shined in the room indicating acceptance. ‘’I he

‘’What?’’ Emandra exclaimed as they all stared at each other, no one dared make a sound. “Shane, what is going on?’’ Emandra turned to her brother who looked like he had so much to say. “‘You won't believe this, but the enemy has been closer than we all knew it from the very start. The Andersons are mixed.’’ Chase and emandra stared at him, not sure what he was talking about. ‘’What are you saying?’’ Alpha Chase asked impatiently. ‘’Mr. Anderson has been married to a vampire all this while and their daughter Sofia Anderson is a ..’’ ‘’hybrid’’ Emandra completed his words. Enzo was listening, he did not know when the coffee mug left his hands, but the shattering sound was enough to wake up Paris from sleep. ‘’We are fucked’’ Enzo cursed. ‘’The great war is just within the horizon.”’ Shane whispers. Rushing to the dungeon, Alpha Chase walks in to meet their prisoners all seated drained and in pain. ‘’Alpha”’ the guards bow in respect. Unlike the others who were almost passed out,
Alpha's Swapped Bride The killer
Paris's hands went to her mouth as she tried hard not to scream. ‘’Miss’’ the guard held her, taking her out of the room. If only he had known the content of the box. Beta Enzo walks in just in time to see the guard take Paris outside. ‘’What's wrong?’’ he asked, stepping closer, but Paris was too frightened to talk. ‘’Beta, someone delivered a package’’ the guard tells him, pointing towards the direction of the smiling head. Enzo stood speechless at the sight before him. ‘’Wrapp it up, and bury it’’ he instructed before walking out and taking Paris out of the area. ‘’’ Who would do such a thing? Why will they send it to me?’’ Paris had a thousand questions going through her mind, but there was no answer. She was not on good terms with Ursula but it did not dispute the fact, she was the only mother she had known for a very long time. ‘’Seeing that the package was not sent to Luna Emandra or Shane proves whoever sent it is aware of your relationship with Ursula. Why don't we visi
Alpha's Swapped Bride gift
In the shadows of the night, Ursula crept her way towards the borders, she had so much to do with so little time left in her hands. She was looking for nothing but an escape route. It was time for her to write her mistakes. So much was happening in her life right now that she was not comfortable with. ‘’Gotcha’’ she scrambled to her feets trying to gather herself. It was none other than Emand. ‘’What are you doing here?’’ Ursula asked glancing around. It was unlikely for Emand to be so far away from the mansion without anyone noticing her absence. Unlike the rest of them, she was the pet of the queen. Always seeking attention for relevance. Of Course, Ursula was aware of it, the reason why she had not shared her plans with her. ‘’Leaving without me?’’ Eman asked, visibly irritated. Ursula did not know how to defend herself. Yes, she was leaving and leaving without her. She had so much to take care of and one of it was warming her children. They might be only stepchildren to her but

‘’ It is time’’ a cold voice announced. Everyone in the room was well-armed and ready for war. ‘’We can't go just yet’’ a painting Ursula walked and ran into the room breathless. She looked nothing like the mate of Albert, the mistress of the Carter mansion who adorned herself with expensive perfume and jewelry. In rags and her hair all out she was barely recognizable. ‘’What is it this time around?’’’ the leader asked, sounding pissed. She has been waiting for this moment for the longest time and now that I am finally here a maid of hers was standing in her way. She had zero tolerance for declaring. ‘’They were caught, they were jailed’’ Ursula replied painting. ‘’What?... how can they be so foolish to allow themselves to be caught? Why do I always have to take care of everything personally?’’ Ursula did not say more. She steps out of the building. She could smell the disgusting stench coming from her body, if only she was allowed to bathe as much as she wanted like in the Carter
Alpha's Swapped Bride murderers
Loud gasps echoed all over the ceremonial ground. Every eye was on the ministers as they all stood guiltily. Minister Freda wanted so much to scream and tell the world she had no hand in the sudden demise of the king but were her words enough? Their actions and guilty looks had long condemned them. ‘’What? cat got your tongues? I did tell you yesterday, that it takes two to tangle. You wanted to play chess and I am that opponent who chose you”’ laya stood over the ministers with a wicked grin. ‘’’ Letting you go will be the worst mistake, hence I will be personally in charge of overseeing your death, but that will only have to take place when the queen and king have been crowned.’’ Laya turned to the guards who had long stepped away from the king. They now understood the side they had to arrest, the group of murderers stood not blinking. Not one of them said a word. The more they try to bring up arguments of the innocents the more their minds fail them. ‘’I was only asked to drop
