Chapter 7

PHOEBE’S POV

Hearing him utter those words of rejection shattered me to the core. I slumped to the ground and started crying. I was used to the whole pack torturing me and rejecting me. Now the person that the moon goddess has fated me with has also rejected me.

Why can’t anybody love me? My parents left me in the middle of nowhere. The Alpha that rescued me is also treating me like a slave. The entire pack treats me like I’m not human. Now my mate has also rejected me.

Am I really bad luck to everyone?

I was alone in my thoughts and crying helplessly on the floor as the pack members started hitting me and calling me all sorts of defaming names.

I thought my mate was going to be my knight in shining armor and save me from all these problems. But instead, he made them worse.

Being rejected by your mate is one thing. But being rejected by an Alpha who is the strongest amongst

werewolves, is a very big issue.

“Such a worthless and despicable girl”

“You don’t belong here”

“Thank God the Alpha rejected you. You’ll have brought bad luck to him”

“You can never be loved by anybody”

“The mood goddess made a mistake by pairing you with him in the first place. He deserves a Luna that is strong like Alexa. And not a weak Omega like you”

“You can’t even defend yourself and heal properly let alone run a pack.”

“You deserve to die”

I couldn’t bear to listen to more of their tormenting words. I bolted out of the hall.

As a weak and wolfless omega that I am, I fell. I fell into the mud. My entire body is covered in dirt. Well, I am also a disease to anyone so I’m not bothered about being dirty. What difference does it make?

I walked to the nearby lake where Mia and I always sat to talk. I have not seen Mia since Adrian announced his rejection. She must be sad and worried about me. For some unknown reason, I find peace in sitting down here. It’s the only place where I can stay without being assaulted.

I walked to the edge of the lake, trying to take water to rinse off my body. Then my bracelet fell.

Oh my goodness.

No!No!!No!!!

This bracelet was given to me by Mia. It’s a sign of our true friendship and unconditional love for each other. I can afford to lose it.

I tried to get close to the bracelet floating on the water but it was all in vain.

So I decided to jump inside and pick it up. I don’t care if I die in the process. Who cares about me anyway?

I was about to jump into the river when someone caught my wrist and twirled me around.

Oh my god!!!

What is it again this time?

It must be Alpha Demetrius or Beta Alfred they must think I want to commit suicide.

I shut my eyes tightly waiting for the person to hit me or finish me off, but nothing came.

I opened my eyes gently, and standing before me, with a mixed expression is Adrian. Why is he here trying to act like a good mate after rejecting me and calling me weak?

God, I feel sick.

I hid my displeasure and bowed my head instead before speaking.

“Al..Alp…Alpa…” I said, stuttering and unable to form a sentence.

“You can’t even look me in the eye and speak properly. How will you run a pack? You’re so pathetic.” He spat angrily, leaving my hand and creating a distance between us.

I kept my head low and I did not bother giving him a reply.

“Just take a look at yourself. What are you wearing? This is even worse than a rag. Look at yourself Phoebe you’re covered in dirt. Is this who I want to run my pack with? Honestly, I envisioned my Luna to be a very strong woman and not a weak Omega like you. If you were in my position, would you have chosen someone like yourself?

Excuse me? Why was he trying to justify his actions? I did not ask to be weak. Does he think I am happy being dressed in rags and assaulted every time? Who does he think he is?

I kept my anger to myself, still hanging my head low.

No, I’m not going to let him see me weak. I already lowered my guard once, and I’ll not let it happen again.

“You are so weak to the extent that you can’t even handle a simple rejection” he continued.

Is this man crazy?

What does he mean by a simple rejection?

Being rejected is the worst thing that can happen to a werewolf. It makes you weaker!!

There’s nothing simple about it!!

“You were about to commit suicide Phoebe. What would have happened if I had not stopped you on time? You want everyone to blame me for your death isn’t it?” He growled.

“Answer me goddamit and stop looking at the ground helplessly,” he said.

Well, I am helpless and homeless. No need to rub it in my face.

I was beyond furious right now. And I do not want to do anything that I’ll regret. Instead of replying him, I turned to leave.

“How dare you leave when I’m talking to you!! Do you think you’re still my mate!! I rejected you little weak wolf!! NOW SUBMIT TO BE I AM YOUR ALPHA!!!!” Adrian roared angrily, his eyes switching from black to olive green.

Instead of submitting to him, I hit him across his face.

God, what was I thinking?

I don’t know where the surge of energy came from but at that point, I did not feel intimidated by him. Instead, I was irritated by how cruel and heartless he was.

I just slapped the strongest Alpha in the werewolf clan.

Oh my goodness.

Nobody can save me from his wrath.

Am I going to die?
