Rejection

Serafine's POV

“What the fuck…” I heard Pearl growl within me, she was enraged at how Silas, our mate, had betrayed us.

I balled my fist as fury surged through my bones, I turned around and was about to leave when I heard a firm “NO!” inside me.

Pearl continued, “No, Serafine, we can't let this go… you have to go confront him.”

I nodded my head, Pearl was right, I wiped my tears and stormed up to them.

Silas was shocked to see me, the other pack members started to murmur to each other as I walked up to Silas.

“Here… you forgot your phone,” I said, handing his phone to him with a calm smile on my face.

Silas gulped and took the phone from my hand, his eyes searching mine, I knew he was wondering how much I had heard.

“I heard it all… Silas,” I growled at him.

He bit his bottom lip and shut his eyes as I said those words.

I balled my fist, “Hello everyone, I present to you, Silas's mate,” I said, spreading out my arms as I turned around for them all to see me.

Their jaws dropped, and they began to murmur again within themselves.

“Serafine stop…” Silas tried to hold my arm, but I turned to him with a fierce look and he gritted his teeth and stepped back.

I breathed in sharply, my eyes burned as I stared at Silas, I closed it tightly as I struggled to hold back my tears.

I opened my eyes and growled as Silas, “I, Serafine Collins, reject you, Silas King as my mate.”

I could hear the gasp from the pack members as shock gripped them.

“How dare you!” Silas growled through gritted teeth, I could tell that he was in pain, from the rejection.

I turned and stormed back to my home.

As I ran back to my house, I kept my head down and hastened up my steps. I didn't want anyone to see me in this condition.

I bumped into someone, and I landed on my butt, a sharp twig poked into my arm as I landed on the ground.

“Ouch,” I winced as I pulled out the twig in my palm.

“Hey, look where you are going, bitch!”

I looked up to see the person towering over me and I saw Riele, the alpha's daughter.

“Oh no… why her?” I thought as I rolled my eyes and got up to my feet, I dusted my butt and was about to leave when she pulled me by my hair back.

“Ouch… stop it Riele,” I said and pushed her off me, glaring at her.

She noticed my wet, puffy, and red eyes and she scoffed, “Oh what's making you cry, poor girl,” she asked with a fake look of concern on her face.

I gulped and looked down as I tried to wipe my eyes dry.

“Did someone break your heart?” She asked and I sucked in air through my teeth and balled my fist.

“Oh, that reminds me… you and Silas, I heard a rumor that you both were together, is that true?”

I breathed in and turned around ready to leave when she stepped in front of me.

“Well, just so you know, Silas is really good in bed.”

I staggered back in shock.

“Ahh,” she moaned with her eyes closed as she ran her hand over her arm and up her neck.

I bit down on my bottom lip as rage built up in me, I balled my fist and blinked back the tears that were threatening to pour out.

It's of no use crying over a cheat, I sucked in air through my teeth and raced off.

I heard Riele laughing hysterically behind me.

“What are you doing here?” my father asked with a stern look on me as I walked inside my family's home.

“Father… I… I,” I stuttered as I stopped in my tracks.

“Serafine, why are you here?” My mother asked, cutting me off, as she walked up to me.

I looked back at my mother and pursed my lips, “Mother, I am back home now, I rejected Silas.”

My mother's jaw fell open in shock, I was about to explain when I felt a thrashing slap land on my cheek.

My eyes watered as my cheeks burned, and the metallic taste of blood filled my mouth.

I held my cheeks, “Mother… you didn't even ask what happened?” I asked with a shaky voice.

“It doesn't matter what happens!” My father thundered and I flinched, “You have no right to reject a man who is next in line for the beta position!!”

“But… Father…” I tried to talk but my mother yelled at me.

“Shut up, you miserable child… who do you think you are to be selective, you are not even up to standards, you should be grateful you found a mate of such high status in the first place.”

I looked down and sniffed, I bit my bottom lip as I tried to hold the fresh batch of tears forming in my eyes, but I couldn't, my chest and shoulders shook as the tears poured down my cheeks.

A sudden kick on the front door made us all turn towards it, Silas's parents stormed in with two guards by their sides.

I shuddered as I saw the look on their eyes, I began to step back slowly but Mrs. King reached me and slapped me aggressively across my face, sending me to the floor.

I held my cheek which was throbbing in pain and turned to face her.

“How dare you humiliate my son in public?” she thundered.

“I am so…” I tried to speak when she rushed you to me and yanked my hair back.

“Ahh,” I groaned in pain.

Mrs King widened her eyes as she bent down in front of me, her dark green eyes gave off a reddish hue, and I could see that she was furious.

She held my jaw and pressed it, her claw digging into my face, “Who do you think you are to reject my son… my only son!” 

She flung my face to the side and I held my jaw, groaning in pain.

Mr. King pulled his wife back, “Do not stain your hands by touching this dirt… let our guards do the job.”

“Guard get her… take her to the dungeon!”

My heart sank to the pit of my stomach as I gulped, the guards were approaching me and I tried to get up and run, but they pressed me down and dragged me away.

I turned to my parents, they stood there looking at me coldly without saying a word to defend me, I bit my bottom lip as I realized my fate was sealed.

I knew I couldn't stand up against the pack's beta.

“Shift Serafine, let me help you,” Pearl said.

I shook my head, No Pearl, I can't let them hurt you too.

Pearl growled in anger inside of me as they pulled me away.

We got to the dungeon and they threw me against the cold concrete floor, I gritted my teeth as I tried to brace myself for the fall, but I bruised my knees as I landed on them.

“Chain her up,” Mrs. King ordered the guards.

They pulled me up to a wall where the chains were and chained me, I raised my eyes and saw Silas walk into the dungeon, I gritted my teeth as I glared at him.

A blow landed on my face that made me spit blood to the side. I turned to see Mrs. King holding a steel pipe in her hand.

She lifted the pipe and it landed on my back, “Ahh…” I groaned as I fell on the floor.

“Apologize to him… Now!” She yelled and gave me another blow on my head.

I managed to raise my head and saw Silas relaxing on the side of the dungeon with his arms crossed, I gritted my teeth as anger coursed through my bones.

“NO!!” I growled out loud.

“THEN YOU DIE!!” Mrs. King yelled at me and another blow landed on my head and my eyes rolled to the back of my head as I passed out.

My head hurt, and I could feel pain all over my body. I lay on the cold floor contemplating if I should open my eyes or if I should just go to my maker.

I knew I would face more torture from that witch if she found out that I had regained consciousness.

I felt a touch on my mold, it was pressed slightly and I froze, who the hell was touching me?

I felt another hand under my dress and on my folds, he spread my legs apart, shifted my panties, and slipped his finger deep in me and I gulped, within the nick of time I felt my dress tear off me.

“Fuck,” I heard him groan and I felt his lips crashing on the side of my neck.
