07. Reject Me, Dorian!

Author: Chris Writes
last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56

My head throbbed as I struggled to sit up. Instead of my ‘new’ room, I was in Dorian’s room. Even though the design had changed since the last time I was here, I could still tell at a glance. 

My attention was pulled by the sound of the door and my face lit up as Dorian entered the room. In my darkest moment, he ended up saving me.

“Dorian, thank you for...” I started but stopped as he raised his hands up. 

“You have the Alpha’s blood in you, yet you are even weaker than the people you should lead. Do you still dare to argue that your father was weak?” he asked with a blank face that was devoid of any emotion. 

I struggled to find the right words to reply. While Papa was not the strongest Alpha or anything, he was certainly not weak. Somehow, Dorian seemed to hold…

A sweet and alluring scent pushed through my nostrils and I felt every part of my body tense from it. 

It tinged my nostrils, and I felt a powerful tug towards Dorian!

My eyes widened in shock and I got up from the bed despite my aching muscles. What was going on? 

I was trying to be strong and stubborn, but I felt like jelly, and my knees were weak and buckling under me.

My skin felt hot and flushed. I felt my wolf, in my head, prancing around happily.

“Mate!” the voice exclaimed excitedly.

I froze and stared at Dorian. He was my mate. No. He couldn’t be.

How could it be him?

I stared at him, my heart beating uncontrollably. I was panting and sweating, my head felt dizzy, and my body felt hot. I locked eyes with him, watching as they slowly transitioned from green to deep blue. They swirled in a dizzying circle before returning to normal.

His face looked twisted, and he gazed at me in disbelief. I desperately wished it was all a trick, that my imagination was playing pranks on me. I hoped I could pinch myself and wake up from this terrible dream, but the same sight greeted me each time I opened my eyes.

Dorian was my stepbrother and the person who hated me the most. I couldn’t be mated to him. The Goddess wouldn’t make such a grave mistake. He couldn’t be the one. He just couldn’t.

Dorian smirked wickedly, running his hands through my hair and gripping it, causing me to wince in pain. He acted like nothing was wrong, as if everything I had just felt was an illusion. I hoped it was.

He smirked and grabbed my face. I looked at him in disgust, closed my eyes, and felt my wolf prancing in my head. She sat still, and then a silver cord erupted from her. I was stunned. What was she trying to do? The cord extended and drifted towards him—a bond only I could see.

She was trying to create a connection, but I couldn’t allow it. I cut it off, and I felt her sit still. I couldn’t let her establish a bond with someone who didn’t care about me.

‘April, what are you doing?’ she asked. Although this was my first time talking to her, it felt so easy. So natural.

‘He won’t accept me. He doesn’t love me,’ I replied telepathically.

‘Just give him a chance. He might—’

‘No,’ I snapped. I have given him many chances in the last month. I knew how every one of them ended.

Instantly, she fell silent.

Suddenly, Dorian pinched my chin harder and pressed himself closer. I was breathing through my mouth. His scent made me dizzy, and I felt an ache and longing for his touch. My heart kept racing, and Dorian pulled me even closer.

“Leave me alone, Dorian. You’ve tortured me enough. I don’t want to be with you. I’d rather be lost and left in a ditch to starve to death.”

He chuckled. “Wherever your little legs take you, even if it’s into an abyss, I swear, I will find you. Besides—” His smile widened. “How can I keep torturing you if I can’t find you? I made a promise to Stacie. You will pay for everything you did to her.”

A tear almost escaped my eye. Why was he doing this to me? Why did he want to make my life a complete misery? He had become the Alpha of the pack just a month after my dad had died. He tore down everything my dad built and made him look like a villain.

Dorian made my life miserable and made me look like a slave. He hated me. Hadn’t he destroyed me enough? And what was he even talking about? I didn’t do anything to Stacie.

“You are a monster. You used to care about me, but now, you treat me like trash. I know you don’t care about me, and you would never date me even if I were the last girl in the world. Why don’t you do us all a favor and reject me?”

“I don’t want to be with you, and you certainly don’t want me. Reject me, Dorian!” I exclaimed in frustration.

He smiled at me like a maniac and began to play lightly with my hair. Tears were building in my eyes. Dorian had really changed. He was a monster. The loving stepbrother I once knew was lost forever.

“April, I am going to take my time to break you and ensure you never live. I am going to make you suffer, and after I am done with you–” He grabbed my hair and pinned me roughly to the wall, “–I’ll reject you and watch your heart break in agony as I say those words.”

I felt tears run down my face, and there was nothing I could do to stop them. I freed myself from his grip and pushed him away. I wasn’t going to give him the liberty of playing with me like a toy. If he weren’t going to reject me, I would do it myself.

I tried to speak, but the words felt like they had formed a lump in my throat. I was filled with fear; I couldn’t bring myself to do it. I was a coward.

I stared at him with tears in my eyes and ran down the hallway. Just when I thought that life couldn’t get any worse, it suddenly did. What did I do to deserve all of this? Did the Goddess hate me too? She saw the way that Dorian treated me.

I fell to the ground with a soft thud as Dorian released me and walked out of the room. Despite how much he hated me, he wanted to keep me in his confines. 

Without thinking twice, I dragged my aching and still healing body out of his room. 

This was my only chance. If I wanted freedom, I had to leave now. 

I made it almost to the forest when I suddenly felt someone pulling at me.  I froze, my heart thumping against my chest. Who was it and how didn't I hear their footsteps?

Unfortunately, before I can fight back or even determine who it is, I pass out.

    APRIL’S POV My eyes fluttered open, and I surveyed the unfamiliar surroundings. Where was I? It certainly wasn’t my room. I sniffed the air, but none of the scents here were familiar. Where was I? I tried to sit up, but a gentle hand pushed me back on the bed. “You need to rest. Don’t worry; you are safe.” Looking at the man, I noticed him trying to hang another bag of fluid on a stand, and a needle was in my arm. Puzzled, I waited for him to change the fluid bag. Sitting beside me, he offered a reassuring smile. “Where am I? How did I get here?” I questioned. He took a deep breath and began to explain. “This is Blood Shadow Pack. Our Prince found you in the forest. You were on the verge of death when he brought you here. You are severely malnourished, and you need to rest. I can tell that you need time to process all of this.” He rose from his seat and gracefully exited the room. As the door closed behind him, I found myself alone, and gradually, his explanation echoed in my mi

This was a real Lycan Prince; he couldn’t be sitting next to someone as filthy as me. “You don’t have to be scared,” he gently said as he took my arm and inspected my injuries. “I found you in the forest. You were badly hurt. And judging by how long it’s taking these wounds to heal, I suspect that silver was used on you.” I turned my head away, and a tear rolled down my cheek. Memories of Paige and her gang’s brutal assault flooded my mind, breaking my heart. What did I do to be treated so badly? “What is the name of your pack? Where are you from? Do you even have a pack?” he inquired. I was stunned, and I tried my best not to show it. “Why do you ask? Of course, I have a pack,” I replied. He sighed. “Well, if you really did have one, you wouldn’t have been so badly treated and left to die in the middle of the forest. A pack cares for its members. If you are treated like an outcast, maybe you aren’t even p

    APRIL’S POV The announcement blared over the speakers again, making me jump in fright. As I scanned the surroundings, I caught sight of students whispering and pointing fingers in my direction. “...where has she been? I haven’t seen her in days.” “.... is the troublemaker back? I still have those videos of what they did to her; it was hilarious.” I panicked and soon ran away to avoid the snickering. My destination was the principal’s office—I needed to find out what he wanted. Racing upstairs, I reached the office, trying to avoid the stares of the students who had gathered around to watch me go inside. I took a deep breath and finally went inside. I saw the principal sitting in his chair and glaring at me. “Good morning, Principal. You called me,” I said, trying to conceal my fear. “Yes, I did call you,” he said icily. “Where have you been for the last two days?” I gulped, my mouth running dry instantly. How on earth was I going to explain that I was beaten, woke up in the Ly

I hated her, and being her mate only meant I could inflict more pain on her. I couldn’t let Stacie down.Upon reaching my office and closing the door, Khal began to speak, ‘That was foolish, Dorian. Why would you do that to her? She is our mate. You cannot keep hurting her.’‘She is not my mate and never will be. I can’t be mated to someone as despicable and cruel as her.’‘Dorian, you can’t keep this up forever…’‘I will not mate her, Khal!’ I retorted. ‘I am the Alpha of this pack. I will not be mated to a wolfless wolf. She has not gotten her wolf yet. And I would never even be caught dead with her. Not after what she did.’I prowled around the room in anger, huffing and puffing. The mere thought of her made my skin crawl with irritation.‘Dorian, I know you do not hate her. I can feel it in yo

That disgusting cheat!I burst into tears and fell on my bed, clutching my chest in agony as he destroyed my trust and ripped my soul apart with everything he did. I tried to block out the moans, but it felt like they were getting louder, and I couldn’t ignore them anymore. My tears wet the pillow and rolled in pain.Why was Dorian doing this to me? What had I ever done to him? He was hell-bent on destroying me and leaving nothing left of my crumbled soul. The moans rose and fell, and I could hear his voice groan each time he thrust, and the girls would squeal and moan at the top of their voices. “...tell me you want more!”“Please, Alpha, don’t stop! More! More! Ahhhhhhnn!”I covered my ears, but I could still hear their voices as clear as crystal. I fell to the floor, clutching my chest, desperately trying to keep my broken heart together.“I hate you, Dorian! I hate you!” I shouted in pain.

I took a deep breath, glared at him, and stood to face him. I wasn't going to be scared of him anymore. Enough was enough. If I was going to be strong and resist him, then this was the best time to start. “I think the question here is, why didn't you knock before entering my room? Why did you barge in like you own this place?”He chuckled and folded his arms."I think you missed the point, April. This house belongs to me now, the new Alpha. I can go wherever I want, and you forget that you are now an insignificant piece in his house. You are sleeping in the slave room, and I will treat you like the slave that you are. You have no claim to this house.”I remained silent and bit my tongue in anger. He was so infuriating. How dare he… “April? Hello? Are you okay? What's going on?"I was horrified.

I could feel the strength of the mate bond between us, and my wolf was reaching out to him, desperately trying to bond with him.I wanted to pull away and walk away angrily, but I couldn't help myself. I felt his fingers run through my hair, and they touched a sweet spot.I moaned against his lips, and like a light switch, my eyes flew open, and we both pulled away from each other as if we had both just awakened from a spell.I stared at him in horror and touched my lips with my fingers. He was kissing me? Dorian was kissing me, and I was enjoying it.I wanted to throw up at my own disgust. How could I stoop so low for

Get out! Now!"They scrambled to their feet, hurriedly dressed, and took the rest of their clothes downstairs.I shut the door angrily behind them and stood in the room, heaving angrily. How dare she slap me?! Who did she think that she was? I balled my hands into a fist and punched the wall with fury, leaving a dent in the concrete and a little crack.I had never imagined that she would retaliate. That witch!

It's not every day that you get to marry the King of the Lycan Empire."I rolled my eyes but couldn't help the blush that spread over my cheeks.I had been looking forward to this wedding for a whole month, and finally, it was here. Lucy was at the forefront and was my wedding planner. She fussed over everything, down to the smallest detail, like what colour the flower should be on each table. She did my makeup, and it took her twenty minutes to decide what colours to use for my eyeshadow. "Hold on, your eyeliner looks a little smudged."She attempted to reapply it, but I held her hands and kept her calm. I had already seen my face in the mirror

I groaned as I soon found myself in, relishing the warmth of her hot body."Fuck! You are so tight, April."She said nothing and began to move her hips back and forth. She was gentle and slow, and moans escaped from her lips.I had had sex, but never like this. She felt beautiful, and she was all mine."How do I feel, Dorian?"She made the strokes shallow and graced the tip of my cock with her juices. She threw her head back, and her lips had my name on them. I gripped the sheets tightly and enjoyed her tight body. For the first time, I felt complete. I could feel our bodies and souls becoming one."Fuck, April!"I grabbed her, and in an instant, she was beneath me. My lips sought hers as I thrust deep inside her."Ahhh

Ever since his coronation, the council had swamped him with work. He was having Ivar help him, and everyone seemed to enjoy his leadership.Azura was on my lap, and I was stroking her. It was still shocking that I was the wolf that the prophecy foretold. I could give life to people.I had been thinking about it, which was absurd, but it made many things fall into place. It explained how I was able to save Jacob's dad and how I was able to bring Azura back when I saw her in the park.Despite all of this, I was still worried. If I had found out sooner about my powers and paid more attention to them, I could have saved the King.The thought haunted me, and the whispering from people I walked past didn't make it any better.I heard a soft knock at my door and stood to answer it.

You aren't an innocent face. You are a witch. I have seen the magic you do. You bewitched me, and also, my father died because of you. I am also sure that you used your powers to falsify that letter to deceive the whole court that my father gave the letter to Dorian...""Stop! Just stop!–"I yelled loudly and was on the brink of tears."–How could you say such things about me?! You know that we have you pinned, and you are just so desperate that you want to blame someone else."I saw a devilish smirk curl his lips."You think that I am desperate?"In a split second, he grabbed Azura out of my arms and held her dangerously by the neck."I will show you how desperate I can be!"I tried to grab Azura

It should have been Dorian but now the king was dead and no one knew the truth except Dorian, Ivar, Jacob, Lucy, and I. Susan and Stacie would never spill and it was doubtful that anyone would believe us. I heard the door open and I turned to see Dorian in a handsome blue suit, standing at the doorway. He had a weak smile on his face and all I could do was return it. I was too sad to speak.He closed the door behind him and walked up to me."You look beautiful." He slipped his arms around my waist, through the back of my open dress, and planted a soft kiss on my neck.My body began to burn with desire and passion. My moans were breathy and sensual."Dorian..."His name was soft and sweet on my lips as his lips teased my neck."Yo

I sat still, waiting and watching.Finally, they began to leave. They left the villa and stepped outside. Susan looked quite livid but Stacie was smiling like the disgusting bitch that she was. She and her mother had made everyone's lives a misery and they had shown no remorse for it.Stacie clutched a coat close to her body and walked with her mother who was in a heavy cloak that swept the snowy ground. They left the compound and took a right. I put my phone in my pocket and followed them, keeping a safe distance behind them.They walked fo

Azura was curled tightly on the floor's covers and purring in satisfaction. I looked outside the window and saw that fresh snow was falling. It looked like a wonderland. I only wondered how long it would remain that way once Conrad became the king.I still couldn't believe that he was being crowned in two days. So much was happening in my head that I couldn't keep track of it.I heard a soft knock at my door but was too dizzy to answer. I heard the door click, and someone walked in.I heard heavy boots thudding towards me, and when I looked up, my blood ran cold. "Conrad?!"Before I could breathe a word, he grabbed me by my neck and slammed me onto the bed."C... Conrad... I...I can't breathe."His eyes were a furious electric blue, and his teeth were gritted in anger as he stared down at me."You! This is all you

I looked out my window and saw snow falling freshly and blanketing the pack's ground in a graceful white covering.I spent the night alone, as April had to go and prepare for today's funeral and pick out a dress. I had a wonderful time with her yesterday. My heart fluttered each time I remembered the kisses I stole and how she giggled. I never thought that I could be this happy.I sat up and finally had time to think about the fight alone. There was so much that had happened that I hadn't been able to process in April's presence, like the fact that Geras' blood tasted and smelled a bit like Conrad's and how my injuries were able to heal so fast and even bring me back from the dead because I was almost sure that I had kicked the bucket.I spent unproductive minutes trying to dissect it all, and soon, I finally gave up. I was just happy that this was over. I owed it to my birth father. He would have wanted me to keep the pack saf

He has healed up too fast for any normal wolf. What if something in his body wasn't attached properly? What if he wasn't fully healed?I had gotten a cold towel to dab his forehead in case he got a headache, but he stopped me, grabbed me, and pulled me into bed with him."Dorian, stop playing around. You need to rest."He pinned me to the bed, and I found myself looking up at his piercing green eyes."Apri, you have been doting on me since the fight yesterday. I told that I'm alright."He growled softly in my ear and kissed my earlobe softly.I groaned softly at the feel of his soft lip. They trailed down my neck to my cheeks and finally rested on my lips.He kissed me deeply and wrapped his arms around me. I
