Chapter 2

I slowly opened my eyes, and as I glanced around the room, I soon realized I was in my room and on my bed. The sun beamed towards me, and I quickly shielded my face. I rolled over a little and immediately halted as pain rocketed up and down my back and chest. I whined in pain as I braced my lower back.

Memories of the previous night flooded my mind—how Alpha Kade had rejected me and how I couldn’t reject him back because my body gave up from the pain of rejection and betrayal.

I broke down in tears, and I cuddled myself back to my bed. A few minutes later, I felt a warm hand on my head. I looked up to see Alpha Rowan looking down at me with a warm smile.

“Amelia, get up and take this. I looked over to his hands, and he was holding a bowl with some black mixture in it.

“What is that? I asked curiously.

“Let’s say it’s something for the pain. Once you drink it, you’ll be fine.

“Liar!” I muttered under my breath. There is nothing that can cure me of this heartbreak; I still feel crushed, humiliated, and betrayed.

“He rejected me, uncle. I finally started, and he humiliated me in front of everyone. Why does everyone hate me? I sobbed as he reached out to hug me, his warm body covering me. He patted my back gently.

I sobbed as more tears rolled down my cheeks. I was used to being bullied and humiliated by everyone in the pack, but nothing had prepared me for the pain of being rejected and humiliated by my mate.

Worst of all, he had chosen Isabella, my worst enemy; she always had a way of taking everything from me, and I was just supposed to let it be because her father saved me.

I knew a part of the reason Alpha Rozan was here to comfort me was because his daughter Isabella was the reason I was going through these pains.

“You will get over it soon.” Alpha Rozan finally said, before patting my back for the last time.

"Yes, I will.” I lied. I have always yearned for love and acceptance from the pack, but when I got only hatred and maltreatment in return, I thought that it was only my mate who would be able to give me the love and acceptance I always craved. But I got rejected and betrayed instead. Everyone in the Bloodmoon pack hates me; Alpha Rozan seems to be the only one who has a good heart here.

As I was about to tell him just how much I appreciated him, the door flung open, and Isabella made her way in with a few guards by her side. A smug grin appeared on her face as her eyes landed on me.

What was she doing here anyway? I expected her to be with Kade in the palace, kissing and gripping him tightly so no one could steal him from her.

She had always been wicked and heartless, but this time she went too far by making my mate reject me on my eighteenth birthday.

“Get her!” She commanded, and a couple of guards matched me and held my hands.

A slap resounded on my face as my eyes widened in shock. I expected her to hide in shame in the palace for stealing my mate, but it was the complete opposite.

What have I done to her?

“That was for last night! She started. How dare you call me pathetic? I had to share my father with you lowlife, and you dare call me pathetic. I rolled my eyes at her, whining like a child. She had always hit me and said all manner of stuff to me, but I called her pathetic once, and she couldn’t stand it.

“Don’t tell me you came all the way here because I called you pathetic. She laughed hysterically as she walked around the room majestically. Something in her laugh made my stomach rumble; it left an unsettling feeling in me.

"Oh, just wait and see what I have for you. I looked over to Alpha Rozan as my heart started to pound against my chest, but his eyes were turned away from me.

“They have arrived, Luna, one of the guards said as he walked in. The guards tightened their grip on me.

Luna? My heart pinched at me. How is she, Luna already? The silence that followed was suffocating before Isabelle broke the silence.

“How dare you speak to me like that?” She growled, slapped me again, and grabbed my hair.

“I had to put up with seeing you every day; my friends bullied me for allowing you to live here with us...

“Oh, Isabella, don’t lie! I cut her off. You were the bully; no one ever bullied you!

“I don’t have the time to argue with you.” She smiled as an evil grin appeared on her face.

“Drag her out! She commanded, and the guards pulled me off the bed, dragging me across the room as I screamed at Alpha Rozan to stop this madness. But he seems to be a part of this.

We soon reached outside, and my eyes landed on a black car with a lady and a man standing beside it. I wondered who they were.

“They will take you to your new owner. Isabelle said slowly behind me; she then quietly whispered into my ear.

“I can’t seem to keep you around here, not with Kade being your mate. Who knows, you might steal him away from me."

“Steal him away from you? I couldn’t believe how she had the audacity to say that to me. He was never yours! I replied to her. She chuckled loudly. The strangers made their way towards us.

“Is she Amelia White? The lady asked.

"Oh, yes, she is. Isabelle replied, My heart was beating frantically against my chest. I didn’t know what to expect. Are they going to take me away?

The lady eyed me from up to down before smiling. I felt sick to my stomach as fear came over me.

“I know we agreed on only seeing her today, but the Alpha ordered me to bring her along with me.

"Oh, Amelia, look at you! One Alpha is rejecting you, while another is paying hugely to have you. She laughs as she taunts me.

“Paying hugely? What do you mean by that?

“You have been sold to Alpha Damien! He is the Alpha of the Silvermoon Pack! And you, Amelia, are his bride.

As the words left her mouth, I felt like a knife had pierced through my heart. A mixture of fear, shock, betrayal, and anger filled my body.

What!
