The Alpha’s Rejected Daughter by Humble Smith

His face was contorted in hatred and anger, but as soon as his eyes scanned through the letter from up to the bottom, that face turned soft and softer, and his eyes squinted. I saw his lips quiver a bit as he squeezed his face, more like he was trying. to understand what he read.

I couldn’t deny the sheer fear that emanated from every part of his body; even his hands were shaking.

“What is it?” I asked curiously, leaning forward as I gazed at the paper in his hand. He exhaled, swallowing hard as he seemed to be rereading the letter to make sure he had read it right the first time.

“What was sent by Lucian? What did he send?” I asked, my curiosity at its peak. He lifted his gaze at me, and a deep frown crossed his face the moment his eyes fell on me.

“So this is what you could bring to my kingdom? This is what my good heart would merit for me and my people? Are you a curse?” He said it to me with a low tone that showed so much disappointment and disgust. It was as if I was a deadly creature at

that moment. Maybe I’m not, but that was what his gaze made me feel like. He really looked at me in a way that made me think at some point that I had grown two horns and had become a monster of the night.

“You haven’t told me what Lucian sent.” I retorted and scoffed.

uld tell you what you already knew. Wait, could this be like a plan by both of you to ruin me because I know how much werewolves hate us from the core of their hearts? Is this a set-up plan and trap to get me into crossing paths with the Lycans and ending up getting wreaked by the havoc of them? You worked with the Lycans to destroy us. You….”

“Hey, I did nothing. Don’t accuse me of what I didn’t do. I have no single idea what was written in that letter, and there is no set-up or trap. Stop spitting gibberish!” I fired at him, and he chuckled dryly, his left hands dipped in his pocket as he walked closer to me.

“Oh, now read the letter and continue your pretense.” He smirked and flung it at my face. I picked it up and began to read, and my eyes widened at what I saw. It wasn’t that he was going to fight them; he was already on his

way,

There was no reason for the war; he just said the vampires took what belongs to him, and now they are going to pay for the casualties and deaths of their people.

As I read the letter, I knew Lucian was talking about me, but then why? Like, why would he fight these people when they. didn’t kidnap me? He kicked me away from his life to get perished and devoured to death. The vampire prince picked me up and gave me a second chance to live. Now he is acting up like I was kidnapped.

“So he is going to wage war on you people because of me. Is he mad? After he rejected me and kicked me out of his life.!” I seethed, breathing heavily as I clenched the letter in my palm.

“Just get yourself prepared to meet him. I can’t risk my people’s lives for a w h o r e like you.” He snapped, and I flinched at that word, looking up at him with shock and disbelief to hear something like this come from his mouth. For real, he just called me a who e .

“Who is a wh o r e? Me?” I was confused.

“What other word should I use to explain you? You prefer to be with a man who is evil, dangerous, heartless, wicked, and doesn’t care about you. He even gave you his child and blamed you for the death. Yet you still want him. You choose him over me, who is ready to….”

“Spare me that c a p!” I cut him off with a loud, long hiss as I looked at him hatefully. What nonsense was he saying?Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Yuck! I felt so disgusted.

As I lay on the bed, I made sure to look the other way; his face at that moment irked me.

He hissed back at me and stomped out.

I exhaled in relief ar his absence and shut my eyes. A kind of joy slipped in as I recalled what the letter said.

It was a war to reclaim me, and the only way they could survive his deadly attack was to offer me to Lucian immediately without any hesitation. I was happy that he would go to that length to have me back.

My heart can’t see his flaws. The wrongs he did to me in the end seemed to be enshrouded by an unseen force, preventing my heart from hating him. Instead of hating the man who hurt me, I was hating Liam, who actually helped me. I hated him because he was like an obstacle, trying hard to tear me and Lucian apart…

Actually, we were like two toxic couples who hurt each other, but anytime they stay away from each other, they crave their presence. They really realize they are souls that can’t stay alone without each other.

But why is he here to take me? Has he chased Ria away? What does he want me for?” I asked myself the question, but I only felt more happiness at the thought of seeing his face.

I knew I should hate him. I shouldn’t give him a second chance, or at least make him crave me for me, before I give myself to him. Like, right now, I should refuse to see him to show I was angry at him, but all that doesn’t seem impossible. I just can’t get myself to do that.

ucian, and that’s the only thing that matters to me. I only hope one day he will love me without any bounds and fall for any trick or set up by the enemy to tear us apart.

As I lay there with my eyes shut, something began to stir inside of me. I totally ignored it, not expecting it to be something serious. I waved it up at some reaction my body could be getting from the drugs they had injected into treating me.

I brought the letter back to my face, opened my eyes, and began to read again, but I couldn’t even go to the second line before my hands shook like they were being electrocuted. The paper fell out of my grip.

What is happening?

I mused to myself, sitting up immediately as I stared at my hands in confusion. I couldn’t think of anything that could be a reason at this point.

“It’s time.” a voice said into my ears like a whisper, and I flinched in fear, looking around to see who did that, but I couldn’t find anyone. I was alone in the room.

“What spoke to me?”

My fear increased, and I had to stand up from the bed, removing everything connected to my body. My hands felt light and jelly. Something was not right with me, and I could deny it at this point. It was like a beast was rising inside of me. As a wolf that doesn’t have a colleague or parents, there was no one to tell me I was having my first shift as a werewolf.

Confusions twisted inside me as the havoc began to wreak havoc inside of me. Every part of my body was feeling something, and I could feel my senses sharpening in a mysterious way because suddenly I could hear voices, and these were the voices of people far apart from me.

I wasn’t interested in whatever gist these voices were giving each other until I caught a family one. It was the one from Liam I knew his voice well, so I was very sure this was him.

He was talking in whispers, unlike his usual commanding and domineering tone and the way it sounded really showed it was an evil plan, so I listened with rapt attention.

It was then I heard what left me frozen to the spot, paralyzed with shock and disbelief.

“Inject it into her water. She will die in three days, right in the hands of the Lycan king, and that way we won’t be blamed for

anything. And I will be so happy to see that w h o r e and inconsiderate b i t c h die. She is worse than anything I can’t think of.” These were the words Liam was saying.

It was just this heightened sense of hearing that made me able to hear him from a few blocks away from where he stayed. I felt like my heart was stabbed as I gasped, my legs stumbling back.

I couldn’t believe my cars. Shock wreaked havoc on me, and I was twisted with fury to realize that the man who claimed to love me was actually planning to kill me off and stated clearly that he would be happy to see me dead.

Tears welled up in my eyes, and as soon as they dropped to the ground, they formed a kind of sparkling pearl, and whatever began to surge from inside of me continued.

I came with a terrible pain around my stomach and chest region that forced me down to the ground. I gritted my i clothing my stomach, as I tried all I could to lessen the pain.

“I was the one that spoke inside you. Yes, I am inside you, and now it’s time to be with Lucian because both of you are mates. Your souls are intertwined with each other, and now that you are about to shift, the bond will become stronger because the enemies are brooding and increasing, ready to unleash their destruction. Both of you must stop it,” he said.

I felt like laughing as I listened to the voice speaking to me. I was so sure he or she was sending the message to the wrong pension and wasn’t aware because how would he associate me with stopping whatever destruction from enemies? I can’t even

“Why are you laughing? You underestimate yourself, but when the power is unleashed, you will realize it. For now, you can shift and finish up the business. This was what the voice said, then vanished, and as soon as it disappeared like a gust of wind, the havoc that was wreaking inside of me continued.

I began to shift, but what I was shifting into wasn’t a werewolf. It was something else that I could explain. Why was I forming a wing beside my back? Why was I craving blood and also feeling the urge to vomit at what seemed like fire? All these came with a rage that was beyond my understanding.

The anger that filled me to the brim was unimaginable, and I could remember all that Liam was telling whoever it was.

After a few minutes, I shifted and couldn’t recognize myself. I wasn’t a wolf, nor was I a dragon. My whole body was shared by these beasts. I had a wolf, a dragon, and a vampire all in one body.

But immediately, I turned back to my human body, but every feeling didn’t stop. I still felt that deep, uncontrollable rage with the great powers surging through my veins and seeping through my veins.

I was breathing heavily, waiting for whoever was coming to inject me. I was ready to tear that person into pieces.
