Her Father's Life

Time seemed to have frozen with the words that had come from Lucy's mouth. She had just done the unthinkable, she had just done what no one was expecting from her or from anyone else. She had plainly rejected the Alpha, a man that everyone wanted and she did not just reject him, she rejected him in public, in front of so many people.

Many had their jaws wide open as they could not believe their eyes and ears.

"Goodbye, Alpha Darren Stone" she bowed in front of him and ran off as fast as her legs could carry her.

Darren was way too shocked to move. For the first time in long years, he seemed to have been completely shocked and caught off guard. How could he have been rejected by his mate?

His gaze remained on her retreating figure as she ran her way through the sides of the mansion to get out as soon as possible.

He was still speechless until she finally disappeared from his sight and the sight of the others in the mansion.

Loud mumblings, mutterings and whisperings arose as soon as she was out of the room. The news of his rejection was definitely going to spread faster than the news of him finding his mate could ever spread.

"You all shut up!!" He suddenly went off and the place went as quiet as a grave yard, only the breathing of the girls in the place could be heard.

His deep angry voice and his blaring eyes was enough to put enough fear into the girls and get them to keep their mouths shut.

Darren turned towards his Beta, Carlos who was still as shocked as the Alpha was about what just happened.

"Go get her! Right now!" He ordered and Carlos shook out of his reverie and ran out of the place.

"You all leave... The party is over!" He declared to the girls and of course, the party was completely over. How would the party continue when the Alpha had just been humiliated by his mate with a rejection?

The girls immediately started scampering away, trying to get out before the anger of the Alpha would be unleashed on them.

Lucy jumped into the driver's seat and ignited the car into motion. She knew that the shock she had left on them would not last did long and she needed to be far away before they would all jolt back to life and come after her.

Yes, she knew the Alpha was going to come after her after such an humiliating rejection. She was about to drive away when she heard the loud screaming of Madeline for her to wait.

Lucy slammed her feet on the brakes and Madeline rushed into the car. She was barely in when she revved the car back into motion and sped out of the place, the car tearing through the dark streets speedily.

Madeline was breathing heavily from having had to push past the girls in the mansion and run after the car. Hers was not a very strong wolf but she made up for her strength with her friendliness.

"How... How in the world could you have done that, Lucy? Rejecting the Alpha and that in front of everyone!" She literally screamed.

"I told you I was going to do it, didn't I? That's what I did. I... I can't even understand. Why does he have to turn out to be my mate?!" She yelled as she drove even faster.

"Fuck" Madeline cussed underneath her breath. They would talk about what she had done when they got back home. For now, they needed to find a way to get out of the reach of the Alpha who would definitely come for Lucy.

"Where are you driving to?" Madeline asked.

"Home" Lucy responded and Madeline threw her head backwards with a long hiss.

"Home? Sweet, nice home? The Alpha is going to come for you and you are choosing to go to the very first place that is going to come look for you?" She asked and Lucy thought it through. That was right, she had to choose somewhere else to go to.

"Where do we go to now?" She asked.

"You know what? My grandma's home. That would be perfect." Madeline suggested.

"She is going to scold me for what I did! No, I won't..."

"She doesn't even have a phone. She's not going to know what happened." Madeline cut her off.

"That's right" she whispered.

"You have really brought me into nothing but your troubles this time"

Lucy was seated on the edge of the bed in the room that she was going to be passing the night with Madeline.

As Madeline had guessed, her grandma had not heard about the quickly spreading news.

"Take a look at this" Madeline showed Lucy her phone and on it was a video of her rejecting the Alpha.

Whoever had taken the video had thought he or she was going to capture the sweet moment of the Alpha and his newly found mate but had captured an unexpected moment instead.

"This video is making rounds right now. Trust me, Lucy, your life is never going to remain the same after what you have done" Madeline said to her and that fact was dawning on Lucy too.

She had done that without thinking it through. The only thing she had thought about was humiliating the Alpha but she had not thought about the full consequences of it on herself.

Now, everyone in the pack would know her as the girl who rejected the Alpha and the Alpha too would definitely be after her for what she had done.

Her fingers were stucked into her hair as she pulled and tugged at it everytime the reality slammed at her face.

"You feel satisfied after getting into this now?" Madeline asked and Lucy groaned, raising her head up.

"I... I wasn't thinking properly but he really deserved it, he deserved what I did" she grumbled.

"Hope you would think of yourself as deserving the consequences of your actions?" Madeline asked.

Minutes passed with Madeline scolding her non stop for her actions and making Lucy feel really bad about what she had done.

"Hey ladies" Madeline's grandma popped her head through the slightly opened door.

"Granny" the both of them quickly forced smiled that the older lady found weird.

"Are you both sure you are just here to visit me? Or are you running away from trouble?" She asked, her wrinkled skin getting even more wrinkled as she narrowed her eyes on the two ladies.

Madeline let out a nervous and awkward laughter.

"What trouble could we possibly in? We are not in any trouble, isn't that right, Lucy?" She asked.

"That's right. We are completely fine" Lucy agreed.

"Alright. You two should come out for dinner soon"

"Oh, you should not have stressed yourself doing that, Grandma" Lucy cooed.

"It's nothing. Just come out soon" Grandma smiled and walked out of the room, leaving the two ladies to theirselves once more.

The both of them let out a heavy sigh of relief but just at that moment, Lucy's phone beeped with a message.

She picked it up and found that it was from a strange contact.

"Come over to your house now, Lucy Adams if you don't want to meet your father dead. You only have four hours - Alpha Darren Stones."
