The Alpha’s Rejected Daughter by Humble Smith

“Stop this prank, fast.” I was almost yelling, anger and confusion twisting inside of me as I stared at the man I was about to marry, spilling gibberish like one who had lost his mind. Does he even still recognize me? There is no way he would be saying these hurtful words to me, adding to my pain from miscarriage.

“I want you out of my life. I don’t want to set my eyes on you again, and my words are final. Pack your things and the love of your life. Don’t act like I’m not doing you a favor by sending you back to him. You don’t have to sneak around to meet him anymore.”

“I don’t know who the vampire son is, and can you tell me who lied to you? How did you believe all those lies without caring to hear from me?” I bawled.

“Leave fast; Ria, who deserved to be my queen, is arriving with her luggage, and I won’t want her to feel uncomfortable with you around here.” Lucian dropped the bomb that stumbled my feet back, with my eyes widening in shock as I doubted my ears. I couldn’t believe I really heard the name he just called.

“Ria?” I muttered under my breath, my eyes peering at him.

“Yes, she is the woman I want. I might not be in love with her, but she is the true queen for saving me from you. I would have killed you the moment I stepped in here, but I am trying to be good and change my cold form.”

“I am not going anywhere because you are not safe. You have been charmed, and it’s vivid in your eyes. Ria did something to you. Everything is wrong about you.”

I couldn’t say more as his hand struck my cheek in a blinding slap that snapped my face to the left, forcing blood to splutter from my lips as I screeched and held my burning lips, tears streaming down my face.

I was so shocked and pained to the core of my heart. It was unbelievable; it felt more like a bad dream, but I waited to wake up and didn’t; instead, my heart was breaking into tiny pieces.

He laid his hand on me. He had slapped me without any remorse, and not even my tears or cry could bring the slightest pity or sympathy from me. Those eyes seemed darker and were glaring at me coldly and dead.

“Don’t you dare me! You are calling me a mad man, huh? I realized the truth about how wicked you are. Who knows what you planned to do to me when I made you the queen? Who knows what evil you have in mind? You killed the child because you thought you had gotten me. Fool!” He spat and stomped to the wardrobe.

He opened it, scammed through, and scoffed before turning back to me.

“Miss, I just realized you came here with no single property. Every piece of clothing and stuff in this room is mine, so there is no bag for you to pack things up, poor girl. Now leave!” He commanded and walked over to the exit.

I don’t know what had happened, and he wasn’t telling me, but his demeanor and attitude showed he knew a lot a lot of lies, actually-that made him believe with no doubt that I had a link with the vampire king son. This was the same trick Diana pulled to get me banished.

F u c k it!

“What are you still doing here? I will call the guards on you and instruct them to beat you before taking you away. Is that what you want? Leave if you don’t want that!” He yelled, gritting his teeth as he gave me a hateful look that melted me to my

bones.

“Please talk to me. Let me know my crime. Let me know what you were told to spark this deep hatred because I am innocent, I swear.”

He laughed croakily, a laughter of ridicule.

“The vampire king himself sent me a letter. I didn’t want to believe it was true, and he set up a venue for us to meet, and there he told me everything. According to him, you were his property, and I was simply a pawn.”

I gasped at his statement, my mouth hanging open as I became totally confused because why would the vampire king son also join hands in rumming me when we don’t even know each other? We live in two different parts of the world.

“Hypocrite, stop acting all shocked and confused. Well, he said I should inform you that he is no longer interested in what you both planned and just wants you to return to him since you have successfully removed my baby. Lucian paused, exhaling heavily, and closed his eyes for a moment, his guts moving up and down.

He seemed to be holding himself, trying to control whatever was bubbling inside him at the mention of me removing his child.

“Leave, Selene. My hatred for you keeps growing, and once it crushes the glimmer of love remaining, I will definitely grab your head and hit on the wall continuously even after you have died. Just get lost!” He shouted viciously, and I nodded.

“I am innocent. I …”

Another slap, so unexpected from him. He was literally beating me for real.

“No more words from you. Leave,” he roared, and with tears in my eyes and a broken heart, I walked away to the exit, actually leaving the new place I was about to call home.

A kingdom I thought was becoming my new family where I would stay and grow with the love of my life. They had joined others in abandoning me, rejecting me for something I didn’t do. As I took steps away from the room where Lucian was, I felt more pain than I was feeling on my cheeks.

The pain was in my heart and soul, ringing in my head that I was walking away with no destination, probably to my death, because out there, I have no other friends who would take me; instead, there are hungry predators that would love to use me to fill their desires.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Do you know I was walking away with so much expectation that the love of my life would call me back? I was walking slowly with so much hope that he wouldn’t allow me to actually go away like this, but I got out of sight and received no call. Even when I turned, he shut the door, preventing me from seeing him.

As I got to the porch, I met with Ria; she was with her bags, like one returning home.

“You took so long to leave, but I’m glad it is finally over. Go and look for your kind, your fellow riffraff that can accommodate you.” She giggled and smirked while I looked at her with sadness brimming in my heart.

“What did you do to Lucian?” I asked, my voice cracking.

“I should be asking you that question because it’s more strange that he fell for you. The world was in shock and confusion, and they needed you to answer that question you asked me. What did you do to him, little pup?

“We are mates. We are fated, and it didn’t matter who.”

“Guess who is being chased out now while the other is getting in? The so-called mate was rejected. Stop acting like you are innocent; we all know, and it’s normal that your cup is full. A day like this would surely come, don’t you know?” She cackled and flipped her hair dramatically.

“Safe journey…” She added as her cat walked in with her bag wheeled. Immediately after she got in, I saw the guards and maids rush out to help her with the luggage, bowing and greeting her with honor and respect. They had smiles and were really happy.

There was no doubt that she was the one they all wanted instead of me. The same day I lost my baby, I lost my love. I lost my new home. I lost everything. My life is surely the next to lose because there is absolutely no reason to be alive; the one single reason I valued my life had just been sna t ch e d from me.

Lucian gave me so many reasons to be alive and tight to become strong and perfect. He even offered to be my personal trainer in my ambition to be a strong wolf. We had both sat down and planned what our future would be like. We already have a name we will give the child if it turns

ou to be male or female.

He made many promises about what he would do for me, where he would take me, and the gifts he would lavish on me. I said earlier that I was the luckiest girl, forgetting that the word is against me. Nature is against me, and they kept reminding me how true it was that I shouldn’t be among the living.

Maybe I should go back to my father. It will be so shameful, but after he finds out who Diana is, I hope he will accept me as his daughter.

We need to stick together to save our pack. The power I had to bring Lycans over had been sn a t c h e d; now I am that weakling, that useless girl. I pray he accepts me, or I will just hang myself.

I got t o the border, and it was as if the guards were expecting me, as they had allowed the gate to open for me.

I left. I left like a nobody because that was who I was, trash that anyone can toss away at anytime.

“Let me go back to my family. That’s where I should find solace since my father was back to his senses.” I mused to myself, drying my tears with the back of my hand.

Just then, I saw two men walking towards me, and as they got closer, I recognized one of them immediately. He was our messenger in the pack.

“What is he here for? To hand me another letter from my father? Apologies? Plead to come to their rescue.” I asked rhetorically as they got to my front.

“We aren’t so sure why, but we were sent to give you this letter because you can get close.” The messenger said that, and the other introduced himself.

“Lam the messenger from Torian’s pack, Crescent Moon, and I was sent to also give you this letter before you come to the pack.”

They both handed the letter to me and didn’t wait for me to finish reading it before leaving. I opened the one from Torian’s pack first, hoping to get some solace from the letter, which I believed would be a love letter from him.

I was ready to return to him, but what I read destroyed me. It crushed me into pieces.
