All Chapters of Once Rejected, Twice Accepted: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Amanda. “Amanda!” I heard my name being yelled for what should be the twentieth time in an hour. I dropped the broom in my hand and rushed in the direction of the voice. Once I got there, I bowed my head slightly. “You called me?” I asked softly even though I wanted to do anything but that. “Call me Luna, you idiot! And knee in my presence!” Tiana yelled at me. Her leg flew forward and kicked me squarely in the chest. I staggered backward and lost my balance, falling on my ass. The site hurt but I swallowed the whimper that threatened to escape my lung. I knew that if I didn’t, I would be getting another cane lashes like I did yesterday and the day before that. “Lu-na,” I managed to let out. It was at that moment that Alpha Zane walked in. I looked at him for escape, but he looked away, pretending like he didn’t even know of my existence. How had I thought that this man loved me?“Luna,” I said again. This time, with all the bitterness and hatred in my heart showing. After the

Five years later. Amanda. “Jude! Juliet!” I shouted their names for what felt like the hundredth time that morning. If I hadn’t, they were going to be late for school and I was going to be late for my meeting with the Elders of the pack. “Mommy, it’s Juliet that is making me tie her ribbon for her hair!” Jude yelled back to me. After I ran five years ago after Zane had threatened my life, I had ran and ran until I got exhausted and fainted. By the time I came to again, I found myself in a small pack. It turned out that I had been rescued by an old man who happened to be the Alpha of the pack. The Night Walker Pack. “Alpha Sapphire, it is almost time for the meeting.” My Beta, Bets Alex, said as he walked in. That was right! I was now the Alpha of the pack. It turned out that the Alpha who had rescued me then, Alpha Jackson, didn’t have any biological child of his own. After his mate died barely two years into their marriage, along with the pregnancy she was carrying then, the

Amanda“That’s right, Zane, I see the look of fear in your eyes. I see the look of surprise, and doubt in your eyes. Yes, it is me, Amand.” I laughed.I was in the company of my entourage and seeing them, all standing behind me left Zane speechless. For several minutes, he could hardly utter any word which was exactly what I was gunning for. This, the element of surprise that had worked so well in my favor. I wished I could picture this moment for a long time but I knew I needed to get on with the next stage of this as to the reason why he wanted me here.“I can’t believe this,” he muttered.“Well, you better believe it.” I snapped.My entourage brought out the makeshift chair they carry all about as they propped it up, leading me toward it to sit down. All this was done in front of Zane, and I could see how shocked he was with every minute that passed.“It can’t be,” he muttered.“What can’t be?” I asked, taking my seat on the chair.He staggered back, as recognition finally dawned i

Amanda I got back to the temporary lodge my entourage had already prepared for the duration of our stay here and I had to confess, they really did a number toward ensuring that I had a pleasant stay in this godforsaken place. Now, it was time for business and I wasn't going to slack when it came to this. If there was one thing I knew, it was that this was the time for me to show Zane and his pack that I wasn't a push over and I would never be.“Everyone, take some rest. We will converge at the central hall in an hour so that we can discuss our agenda for the day.” I ordered.There were collective nods of head and greetings even as they all retired for the night. Seeing my pack members all united by this had me smiling so much that all I could feel in my heart at that moment was the love I had for each of them. They had stuck with me for a long time, weathering the storm with me without complaining and now, they were here with me even though this wasn’t really their business.“Alpha,

Zane.Anger, fear, and shock radiated through me as I walked around mindlessly. I didn’t even know what to think of as I stared at some of the maids doing their jobs. There were times when I had wished that I would be the greatest Alpha to ever live but apparently, that wasn’t going to be possible because my enemies were at work and if there was one thing I knew, it was that they would never see me rise to become that. They had chosen this specific day and time to strike, knowing that my forces were at the weakest at this point.It wasn’t fair but when it came to the way we lived, life wasn’t fair at all. You either win some or you lose some and if there is one thing I wouldn't be doing, it was losing. I was going to make sure I got them, every single last one of them that even thought they could destroy everything I had worked so hard to build. Never, I was never going to allow that.“Alpha.” A voice interrupted my thoughts.I turned toward the direction of the voice to see that it w
