CHAPTER THREE

TYLA’S POV

“I, Tyla Niver, accept your rejection.” I said.

I felt great pain as I accepted his rejection and it felt like the inside of me was about to be ripped apart.

I looked at him and could see the shocked expression on his face and that could only mean that he wasn’t expecting me to accept the rejection.

“Who do you think you are to accept my rejection???!!” he thundered in anger.

“What would you have me do then??? You just insulted and rejected me and the right thing to do is to accept your rejection.” I said softly.

“How dare y…”

“Alpha Thane!!! Alpha Crane has been looking all over for you and he needs your attention as soon as possible.” Someone said as he interrupted my mate or rather my ex mate.

From my guess, the person seemed like his aide or beta because I have never seen such a face in the park before.

“As for you, do not think in that little head of yours that I am done with you….you will regret accepting my rejection.” Alpha Thane said as he walked away with his aide.

The tears I've been holding back since the moment my mate rejected me started slipping down my face as I fell to the ground.

I was all alone and didn’t have anyone to talk to or share my pain with and due to the fact that I wasn’t a shifter, I had no wolf.

“What did I do to deserve this kind of pain moon goddess!!! Who exactly did I offend in my previous life to go through this??? Why did you bring me here only for me to go through this???!!!” I asked as I broke down in tears.

After venting out and crying to my heart’s content, I stood up and walked back to the pack.

As soon as I arrived, I was summoned to the pack house.

At first I was reluctant to go because I had no idea what Alpha Crane wanted from me and the second reason was because I didn’t want to cross paths with Alpha Thane anymore.

“Lyra, you know the consequences of disobeying the Alpha…he has sent for you twice and if he does the third time, it won’t be funny at all.” Ruthie, a fellow senior pack slave said to me.

“I really do not want to go.” I said.

“As if you have a choice…please do not get the rest of us into trouble because of your disobedience!!! If you don’t want to go, it’s fine…I will just go and inform the Alpha that you have refused to come so he won’t punish the rest of us.” she said as she was about to walk away.

“Wait!!! I will go.”

I didn’t really mention the fact that Ruthie, just like her name, was the ruthless one of all the pack slaves.

She had no regard for anyone and she could get everyone in trouble just to save herself alone.

“Good, now get going before he sends for you the third time.” she said as she walked away.

I sighed deeply as I reluctantly walked into the pack house and when I got to the living room, I met Alpha Crane, Alpha Thane, his aide and a few pack elders seated.

As I looked around, fear instantly gripped me because at that moment, it felt like I was summoned for something bad.

“I sent for you twice, where were you???” Alpha Crane asked.

“I…..I…w..wa…was….”

“Speak properly!!!!” Alpha Crane thundered.

“I…I… wasn’t available, Alpha.” I said with my head bowed.

“You weren’t available??? So I have become so small before you that you have the audacity to tell me about your unavailability after I sent for you twice???”

“Not at all Alpha…I swear by the moon goddess that I wasn’t available.”

Suddenly, Christina walked into the living room and after greeting everyone, she went to Alpha Crane and whispered something into his ears and immediately, I had a gut feeling that she was going to get me into trouble.

“Thank you, you may leave my presence.” Alpha Crane said.

Christina bowed her head, looked at me with a smirk on her face and walked away.

“Asides from your dirty act of disobedience, you have now added lying to it??” Alpha Crane asked as he glared at me.

“I don’t understand you Alpha.”

He suddenly stood up from his seat and walked closer to me and because I was extremely scared, I walked backwards slowly.

“If you move an inch backwards again, I will see to it that your head is severed and thrown into the woods.” Alpha Crane threatened as I stood still almost immediately.

While all of these were happening, my mate had a smirk on his face as he watched quietly.

“You dare open your mouth and lie to me in the presence of my visitors and my elders??” he said.

“I…I…”

Before I could even utter a word, Alpha Crane hit me so hard across my face that I fell to the ground.

I could have sworn I heard someone growl deeply but I assumed it was all in my imagination.

“Stand up!!!!” Alpha Crane yelled.

I tried standing up from the ground but I was too weak to stand due to the fact that I hadn’t eaten any proper meals for days.

Hitting me that hard only activated my symptoms and my body already started giving way.

After much struggling, I stood up but before I could regain myself, Alpha Crane hit me again across the face harder this time around as I fell to the ground the second time.

I could suddenly taste my own blood from my lips as my vision became blurry.

My mind was hazy and my body shook violently as I remained on the ground.

“Is she dead???”

“Leave her alone!!”

“Who are you to tell me what to do???”

Those were the faint noises I could hear from around me but I was too weak to figure it out and after a while, I completely welcomed darkness.
