The Rejection
Last Updated:
2023-06-30 06:10:37"Rain... Jessica." Called Joshy, a 14-year-old orphaned boy whose parents died along with Jessicas' parents in the rouge attack on the pack.
As we walked down the hall to the stairs, I was hit with the most amazing scent of cider and roses. If only I could bottle the scent and keep it forever. But as we got to the bottom step, my thoughts were pulled from finding the source of the scent to the chaos that was in front of us. The Alpha was standing in the living room with an adorable little curly brown-haired girl by his side, who smelled like a rouge, Ms.Leana, and two of the pack guards I didn't recognize. Apparently, they killed the little girls' father at the border after he crossed over into the packs' territory, and since there are laws about executing underage rogue children, they had to bring her to the orphanage.
While everyone was checking on the little girl and talking to each other about what the girl was and what to do with her, I stood in the corner so I wouldn't get in anyone's way. Suddenly I was yanked by my hair, and a hand came down over my mouth so I couldn't yell out. I was pulled into the storage space under the stairs. I looked around quickly to figure out what was going on, and froze when I met the son of the pack Alpha, the future Alpha Ian. With what I'm sure was confusion and panic written all over my face, I asked him what was going on, but he just looked at me with hatred and amusement in his dark brown eyes for what felt like forever before he spoke.
"I, Alpha Ian, future Alpha of the Blue River Pack reject you Rain, as my mate and future Luna," he says with a smile plastered on his face. "I would never accept a witch as my mate. Especially a worthless and weak orphaned witch like you! The Moon Goddess really screwed up pairing us as mates."
Alpha Ian walks out the door closing it behind him, leaving me alone in the small storage room. My mind starts to swirl with questions. What did he mean he rejects me as his mate? Do witches even have mates? Did he say worthless and weak? I'm not even 17 yet. I thought Jess said you have to be 17 before finding your mate. Did the Moon Goddess make a mistake? What am I supposed I do now? As I'm panicking, I feel a dull pain in my chest getting stronger and stronger, till I can't anymore and pass out.
When I wake up, I'm in our room on Jessicas' bunk. I look around in shock and try to remember what happened. As soon as Jess realizes I'm awake, she rushes to my side.
"What the hell happened to you? One minute you're standing in a corner of the Livingroom, and the next minute you're gone. Then I find you in the storage space under the stairs passed out on the floor. Are you okay? Are you getting sick or something?" She asks, on the verge of crying.
"I'm really not sure what happened, But you're right. We need to leave tonight," I say, sitting up before I feel a burning pain in the pit of my stomach, making me want to claw it out.
"Oh, My Goddess, You found your mate," She says in complete shock.
"Ian, it's Alpha Ian..." I say, trying to breathe through the sharp burning pain.
"he rejected you?" She asks, and I nod, not sure I could even speak right now.
"You shouldn't still be feeling the pains of his rejection. Did you accept his rejection?" She asks, and I shake my head no in response.
"I didn't know I was supposed to, not like he gave me any time to do or say anything before he walked out, leaving me in the closet," I tell her as the pain starts to dissipate.
"He knew you wouldn't know what to do. Now he's forcing you to feel the pains of his betrail on top of the pain of his rejection." She says, shaking in anger.
"What can I do to stop this pain?" I ask her
"Nothing right now." She says, trying to calm herself down. "We have to leave tonight. Once we get to the border, I'll denounce the pack, and you can accept Ians' rejection, and then we'll be free from this hell."
"Okay," I say, getting up to grab some snacks to put in our duffle bag for when we leave.
"Ohh, just one more thing," Jess says, and I turn around to look at her. "The new orphan girl, we have to take her with us."
"What? You want to kidnap an orphan? Are you out of your mind?" I ask, looking at her in shock.
"She's a rogue wolf. Not a pack member. Once she turns seventeen they will execute her." She says. I have no arguments because I couldn't bare the thought of knowing we left a defenseless child behind to be killed by these monsters, so I agree with her decision.

As I'm getting ready to cook dinner for the kids for the last time, I decided to cook their favorite meal, Pork tacos, mac and cheese, and red velvet cupcakes for dessert. The kids demolish every bit of the food I've cooked. Then Jess takes the kids upstairs and starts getting them ready for bed. I decide to get to know the little girl we will be taking with us. She's a tiny little thing with long curly brown hair and emerald green eyes, just like mine. I sit her on the edge of Jessicas' bed and start asking questions like her name, her age, her favorite color, and anything I can think of that she may be able to tell me. But I get nothing, not even the smallest of noises. "She hasn't spoken a word since she arrived," Jess says, walking into the room. "Either she's too scared to talk, or she can't." "Will you have enough masking spray for the both of you?" I ask, curious if we'll have to get more before we leave. "Yes, I have plenty to make it at least a week for the both of u

After running for about two more hours, Shina stopped to listen for guards that might have been alerted to us crossing the border and coming after us. When she's sure nothing is coming our way, she motions for me to remove a still-sleeping Odett from her back before shifting back to her human form and putting her clothes back on. She takes our bags, and we continue walking for another mile or two before we come to a creek with a beautiful little waterfall. "My father used to bring me here when he was still alive, but I haven't been back since the attack." She says, with pain and longing in her eyes as she relieves those memories. "There's a small cave behind that waterfall we can sleep in for a few hours. No one knows about it but my father and I, so we should be safe." Once we're in the cave, Jess lays down the blanket, and I place Odett on it, and we lay down on either side of her to make sure she gets our body heat and is safe. Then we dose off. I wake up to a strange voi

"I think it's time for us to start walking again, we only have a few more hours till nightfall, and we need to find shelter before it gets dark," I say, and Jess nods in agreement."So, where exactly are we going?" Jess asked as we watch Odett running around playing, making both of us smile."I think we need to head toward New Orleans," Dosha said. "There are many witches there. Maybe one of them could help you with your magic.""Dosha thinks we should go to New Orleans," I answer."Who is Dosha? And why New Orleans?" She asks, looking at me questionably."Dosha is my wolf, and she thinks we'll be able to find a witch in New Orleans that can help me with my magic," I say, turning my head to meet her gaze, not sure if she would believe me. "Oh, and the rings in our eyes are to show that Odette and I are hybrids. Though I'm not sure why they appear and disappear.""Okay, New Orleans it is, then. If I can remember correctly, it should be directly south of us, it will take a few days of

Orians P.O.V. As we follow the trail to the rogue, my mind is preoccupied with thoughts of my newly found mate. The image of her short blond hair and beautiful blue eyes on the verge of tears looking up at me popped into my mind making my chest tighten. "We need to hurry this up quickly and get back to our mate!" My wolf De'von commands. "You didn't even ask her what her name was! Some mate you are." "Yes, master," I reply in a snarky tone. "I just thought it would make her happy if we saved her sister first." "Okay, point taken." He huffs out, and I roll my eyes. At that moment, I smell the blood of rogues, not just one, but multiple. It smells like at least five, if not more. One female wolf wouldn't be able to take on all of them. The panic starts to settle in the pit of my stomach. "Beta!" I heard the scout I sent ahead call out from the top of a nearby hill, and as soon as I met his gaze, I knew something was wrong. The smell of more rogues and more blood

King Zions P.O.V. As I wake up, I link one of the maids for something to eat. After being told it'll be up soon, I decided to get up to shower and get some work done before my beta started complaining about my lack of efficiency regarding boring paperwork. I look at my watch I laid on my nightstand, and I'm shocked to realize it's afternoon. I can't believe Orian let me sleep so long, but I did have a late night. I make my way to my bathroom and take a long hot shower that loosens my tight muscles. After I'm done with my shower, I head to my closet to get dressed with my towel wrapped around my waist. I hear the door open and can hear my mistress Ashleys' wolf purr at the sight of my nearly naked body. I turn to tell her I don't have time to deal with her, only to find her walking up to me while sliding her dress off so that she is naked as well. Before I know it, she's on her knees before me, preparing to please me with her body. She is a very ca

"Sir, the guard outside the prisoner's cell just linked me, letting us know she's awake," Orian says, looking at me to get my reaction. "You handle the interrogation. I'll watch from here." I respond while pointing out the security video I've already pulled up on my computer screen. He shakes his head but bows his head in submission and starts to walk out of my office. As he's walking out, Ashley walks in, shoving past him. He rolls his eyes at her and closes the door. She walks around my desk, lowers herself to her knees between my legs, then tries to unzip my pants. I stop her and tell her she needs to leave my office. "I just want to please you, my King." She says, reaching for my zipper again, still on her knees between my legs. "I said no!" I said, raising my voice to her for the first time. "So it's true, you've found your mate?" She says. "Drop it, Ashley!" I say, not wanting to confirm anything. "Is she better than me?" She asked, looking almost hurt. "I sai

Orians P.O.V. After leaving the ladies to catch up in Rain's room, I walk across the hall to Zions Suite. As I get to the door, I knock and wait for him to call for me to come in before entering and making my way to his suite office to the right of the entrance, hearing giggling and then the sound of a laptop closing. When I get to his office, I sit in the chair across the desk from him with a knowing smile. "What?" Zion says after a moment. "When will you be talking to her yourself instead of getting me to do it or simply watching the security footage? I ask. "What makes you think I've been watching?" He asks. "I heard the same giggling from Rains' room also coming from your office when I walked to your door," I said with amusement laced in my voice. "Is she really your mate?" "I really can't get anything past you, can I?" He laughs. "And yes, it would seem so. Either that or she has put a love bond spell on me. I've been racking my brain, but that's

Zions P.O.V. After watching Orian and Rains' conversation last night, I have a sharp pain in my chest. It started innocently with them talking about Orians' mate. But as he goes to leave her room, she says she wants to leave the kingdom. Does she really want to leave? The thought of her leaving has me panicking slightly. I don't like it! "No, She said she wants to find her true mate!" Ryker says with a huff. "It's not her fault you haven't made yourself known to her. Instead, you want to keep her locked up in a room so she won't discover you are her mate." "You know she's not our real mate. She's not a werewolf. She is a witch. I'm the Alpha King. I can't have a witch as a mate. She can't be the Luna Queen without a wolf. The people would never accept her." I respond. "Then why are you upset that she wants to leave?" He retorts. "Afake bond is still a bond. You know that just as well as I do." I say. "Don't start your shit this early. I didn't get any s

The Orphaned Queen How It Ends
Rain's P.O.V. Opening my eyes, I look around to find someone has laid me down in our bed next to Zion. He's covered in bruises and has bandages wrapped around his chest and down his left arm. I try to reach over, but I realize my body is sore and stiff, and I can barely move. "Oh, thank Goddess, you're awake." Jess gasps, walking through the door. "How are the pups?" I ask the first thing that crosses my mind. "All three are safe and sleeping. Lady Ezmerelda is in the nursery with the twins, and Odett fell asleep watching a movie with Sam in the living room." She answered while walking over to my side of the bed. "Is Douglas dead?" I ask, slowly starting to remember everything that happened. "You leveled everything in the area. Orian found you unconscious, covered in blood, but he didn't think it was yours. He said it smelled like Douglas and his minions. You didn't even have a scratch on you." She said with a smile, helping me to sit up. "How is everyone?" I ask
The Orphaned Queen Retribution
Rain's P.O.V. After recovering from whatever hit me, I turned to see a female who looked so much like Lady Lena that it threw me off. Zion is just as surprised as I am, his face mirroring my surprised expression. Then I realized that the restraints that held Douglas in place were released, letting him recover and stand beside the lookalike as a group of his rogue army stood behind them. "Who the hell are you, and why do you look eerily similar to a dead woman?" Zion asks after he shifts back to his human form and takes his place beside me. "You must be talking about my twin. That foolish bitch refused to leave that weak coven and decided to go against me. She got what was coming to her." She said with a cackel. "I even offered to take her with me after I kidnapped you, but she refused and even tried to fight me. She might have been our parent's favorite, but she was weak, always letting everyone fight her battles for her." "You're
The Orphaned Queen Unknown Woman
Zion's P.O.V. After Rain's speech, Mia suggested opening gifts, so Jessica and I helped her up and started walking towards the chair designed like her throne where all the gifts were. Midway through the walk, Rain started feeling some pain and leaned over on me. When I asked if she was okay, she said she was. I knew she wasn't telling me the truth, but I decided to ignore it and keep walking. Unfortunately, she doubled over before we could reach the chair, grabbing her side. I quickly picked her up and noticed liquid running down between her legs as Odett called for her in a panic. I yell for Doctor Jameson, knowing he's here somewhere. He tells me to get her to the suite when he reaches us, but I know he wants her in the makeshift delivery room. I rush through the crowd in a panic, thankful that they made a path for us, and up the stairs to our suite where I lay her down on the bed, only now noticing that our friends followed. Do
The Orphaned Queen Chaotic Birth
Rain's P.O.V. I stood quietly in the peaceful darkness that I'd become accustomed to and waited patiently, thankfully not feeling any pain. I didn't have to wait long as soon the brilliant silver light erupted, and Dosha and Selene emerged as the light dimmed, and I could feel their warmth radiating off of them. But soon, I notice the grim look on her face, and the peacefulness I had felt melts and gives way to caution. "Hello, my dear daughter," Selene says. "I have come to bring you a warning." "A warning about what?" I ask, my stomach in knots as panic sets in. My first thought is that something is wrong with the twins. "The twins will be fine, do not worry, my dear. I will watch over them as I did with Odett. I came with a warning about Douglas." She says, and my heart stops for a moment. "He knows that you are about to give birth and thinks that you will be in a vulnerable state. He is planning to make his move now." "S
The Orphaned Queen The Celebration Of Resurrections
Rain's P.O.V. When Zion opened the double doors to the Banquet Hall, I was shocked, to say the least. Everyone was talking, speculating what this gathering was all about, and then complete silence followed by gasps as everyone's gaze met Zion and me as the doors opened. I place my hand on my belly as Zion leads us into the crowded room. Everyone now has faces of relief and tears of joy streaming down their faces as they bow while we make our way past them and to a table set up for us. I feel an overwhelming sense of love and confusion pouring off of everyone in the room. As we reached our table, we were joined by the others in our group, including Morgan, Mia, and Nick, as well as King Arnald and Beta Mark. Zion pulls out a chair for me and helps me lower myself into it before he addresses the crowd. He goes into detail about the reasons for my disappearance while also apologizing to everyone for keeping them in the dark about the
The Orphaned Queen The Traitor
Zion's P.O.V. I woke up this morning and felt something different in the air like something would happen soon, but I wasn't sure what that would be. I asked Ryker about it, but he wasn't sure either. Orian linked me to let me know that everything was ready and that everyone would start showing up in about an hour or so, but that he needed to see me in my office for an important matter. I told him that I would be down soon and quickly linked Jessica and Lady Ezmerelda to ask them to help get Rain ready while I went to handle a few things before the shower and celebrations began. As soon as I told Rain that we needed to get moving and that her sister and mother would be helping her get dressed, she started getting emotional, which I know is from the hormones. Thankfully, I saved myself by explaining that she wasn't fat, just very pregnant. That worked, and just in time, since Jessica and Lady Ezmerelda arrived the next second,
The Orphaned Queen More Secrets
Rain's P.O.V. As soon as my head hits the pillow, I fall asleep, but opening my eyes, I'm surrounded by nothing but black, and I know exactly what's going on. I found the light silver glow and walked towards it before hearing the comforting voice of the moon goddess, Selene. I can't help but smile as she comes into view before panic starts, knowing that we only have a meeting like this when something terrible has happened or will happen. "Hello, daughter. I'm glad to see you in such good spirits," Selene said with a smile of her own as she reassured me. This is a good meeting. There's no need to panic. I've come to inform you of my plans for Odett's future." "What do you mean? Won't she be the next Werewolf Queen?" I ask her, my voice thick with confusion and fear. Was she planning to take Odett away from me and Zion? I don't want to lose her, but I know that Selene will always make the best decisions, and there's nothing I can do or
The Orphaned Queen Future Female Alpha
Zion's P.O.V. After Luna Morgan, Mia, and Nick's arrival, I quickly linked with Orian to suggest we give them time to catch up with each other. I say that, but in reality, I wanted to save myself and the others from the headache their squeals would cause. Don't get me wrong, I love the excitement in my mate's voice, but there are too many females in this suite at the moment. Orian agrees but thinks we should take Nick with us. "Do we have to?" I ask. "Yes, remember he was the one that drove them here. I imagine he's heard enough and needs a break." He responds with a laugh. "Fine," I tell him with a huff before turning my attention to my mate. "Well, ladies, King Arnald, Beta Mark, Orian, Sam, Nick, and I will leave y'all to the planning." We left the suite and made our way to my office on the first floor. Once in my office, I offer everyone a drink, and they accept. Orian pours everyone a glass and hands them out as we s
The Orphaned Queen Bed Rest
Rain's P.O.V. After returning to our suite, we all sat around and ate lunch while conversing about different things. I noticed Zion and Orian suddenly got quiet, and when I looked over, I could tell they were talking through the link. I automatically got nervous, thinking something had happened, but then I heard someone approaching the door before there was a knock. When no one moves, and Zion helps me up from the couch, asking me to get the door, I grow suspicious but still make my way to the door anyway. I notice no one is talking, but I know Zion wouldn't be put in harm's way. As I open the door, I'm hit with Mia and Morgans's excitement and their high-pitched squeals, and I can't help but let out my own squeal. "What are y'all doing here?" I ask them in disbelief. "We're here for your baby shower," Mia says while looking over my shoulder at everyone. "What baby shower?" I asked, whirling around to look at Zion. "Ask Jess
