5: Rejected by the rogue

Damian

Bay couldn’t bear the torture as The guards took our mate out but I had to prove a point to Lucy.

“Happy? Now leave me to work.”

“You had me worried there for a second,” Lucy sighed in relief, “you need to thread more carefully, don’t Create room for gossip.”

“Lucy, take your leave.”

The only one who did not tremble under my orders was Lucy and I let her have her way.

Instead of leaving she reached for my shoulder and smiled, “my sister will be back from her trip in two weeks, you’re going to mark her like we initially planned, exercise more patience.”

I didn’t respond. I only took her hand off my shoulder and led her out of the room. She bowed her head, “I’ll see you soon your majesty.”

As soon as she was gone I wanted to go after the guards. I wanted to kill them for laying their filthy hands on her. The way they’d gripped her by the arm, I found myself clenching my fists by my side.

I needed a new distraction.

I could feel my wolf threatening to take over. Unlike me he wasn’t bound by ego, he just wanted to be let at his mate. It was different from what I felt with Libianca.

I palmed my face, I had so much work to do with the festival coming soon. I couldn’t deal with distractions.

I decided to get her off my mind by consuming myself with work.

It was time for my daily pack meeting between my warriors and I.

“We did take over those parameters, alpha…” one of the warriors was saying when one of my guards walked into the meeting room.

My frown deepened as he approached me, I hated to be irritated.

“Why would you disrupt things?” I asked him. He leaned into my ear. “There’s a word about your brother freeing your prisoner alpha.”

I understood him too fast. I got to my feet leaving the rest of my men behind.

‘I swear if he touches her I’m killing him.’ Bay warned as I raced to Arthur’s room. He meant it and I wouldn’t stop him.

Everyone I came across dodged me knowing I could strangle anything at anytime if I was pissed off.

I opened the door and Bay immediately took control. I lost sight of everything all at once and only came back to my sense when I saw the fear in my mate’s eyes.

She was afraid of me. I tried to take over before she died of a heart attack.

Damian took control once more and led me out of the room. He held my hand tight as he yanked me forward as if he feared I would escape if he let go of me.

We got to his room once again but I couldn’t help but feel safe again.

We stared blankly at each other as he held my shoulder scanning me from head to toe. He was hot, scary or not, it was too distracting.

‘Oh for the moon’s sake, I just want to pounce at him and have him for myself.’ Mel groaned.

‘Oh so now you show up?’ I rolled my eyes at her.

But she wasn't the only one excited to be standing in front of her mate. I wanted to throw my hands at him and beg him to mark me as his there and then. I snapped out of my obsession for him when I recollected how he had treated me earlier.

‘But he clearly doesn’t want us.’ I told Mel.

“How did you know he had me?” I asked in a low voice. I was frightened of his dominant aura.

The soft expression of worry on his face was soon replaced with anger. “Are you that much of a whore?”

I was taken aback and took a few steps away from him immediately.

“Excuse me?”

“Did you want a taste of royalty so bad the first thing you do is try to fuck my brother?”

My heart shattered in pieces that my mate thought of me that way.

I couldn’t find my words from the shock I felt.

“Say something,” he closed the distance between us and I repelled further from him.

I opened my mouth to speak but instead I broke down in tears. “Why am I always at fault?” I said in a low voice, entangled in my sobs. “When I’m the one that’s getting hurt?”

I dried my eyes with the back of my palm but the tears wouldn’t stop.

“I was so scared…” my voice cracked, “you think I broke out of that cell and tried to sleep with a man I don’t even know? Same thing with Kaden, it’s not fair!” I sniffed and locked gazes with him. “I can’t take it anymore, I escaped from my pack so I could be free, I don’t want to endure more pain.”

‘What are you doing?!’ Mel suddenly began to panic.

I knew how she would feel but I couldn’t bear more pain.

“You are not my alpha, and if you think you can keep me here,” I moved closer to him, he had a blank expression but I could still read the shock through his eyes, “and make me your prisoner, when you don’t want me as your mate, I won’t stand for it.”

I swallowed hard in fear, “if you don’t want me then I Kira Malcolm,” I began, “reject you…”
