Chapter 2- HER REJECTION

Fay woke up to the sound of the door bursting open,her eyes adjusted at the bright light that drifted into her poorly furnished room from the door.

“Put this on" The gamma said immediately she stepped in,thrusting a dress on the floor.

“What is going on?" Fay asked silently, picking up the unattractive dress.

“You must be stupid for asking me questions,your mate would be here in less than thirty minutes”The gamma snapped at her," Put that on immediately"

In five minutes,Fay was walking out of the omega's quarters where she slept and through the dark corridors , following closely behind the gamma as they walked hurriedly to the main house.

Fay's heart was pounding madly against her chest, threatening to burst out. Her legs were shaky as she walked quickly, trying to catch the pace of the gamma.

“I heard she's going to see her mate today" An omega gossiped as they passed by

Another snorted,”She has bad luck,no one would want someone like her"

“The Lord is just trying to get rid of her but she doesn't deserve someone like the Alpha. She is supposed to be mated to someone as lowly as her”Another omega whispered back.

They finally stepped into the grand sitting room ,the lights from the diamond chandelier hanging over heard pouring into her eyes.

“You took your sweet time getting here," The last snapped,”Don't think you are starting to be important,you are still a slave”

Fay lowered her head but said nothing,she listened to the sound of her heart pounding, feeling the sense of nervousness pouring over her.

The door burst open as if hit by a bomb and Alpha Roderick walked arrogantly in ,his hand shoved into his trouser's pocket while the other was scrolling through his smartphone , following closely behind were two huge suited security guards.

Fay drowned in the powerful sight of him as he strode in ,his eyes not leaving his smartphone.

“Alpha Roderick," The Lord called,”You are highly welcome to my humble abode"

Alpha Roderick looked up from his phone and sighed," Let's get this over with,I don't have time to waste. Where is she?"

The Lord smiled and turned back to Fay who still had her head lowered .

“Step forward,Fay" He grated.

Fay walked forward with her head bowed and her hands pinned to her back,her heart still pounding as the Alpha's eyes roamed over her.

“Who is this?" He snapped.

The Lord and lady exchanged glances and then the Lord cleared his throat.

“Her name is Fay and she is your mate," He replied.

Alpha Roderick looked at her with disdain ,a sour expression crossing his features.

“Is this an insult,Lord Benard? You mean I came all the way down here for this?”He asked angrily,”She doesn't even have the wolf traits,she is useless to me”

Fay felt as if she had been punched in the guts,his words pierced her like a two edged sword and she fought back the tears that threatened to fall.

A sly smile rose up the lady's lips,it was just the exact reaction she had wanted.

“She was chosen for you in the mating festival as your mate,Alpha Roderick”She said

" Impossible!”Alpha Roderick spat angrily,”A mate without the wolf traits is unacceptable. We can't have a weak link in our pack as a Luna ,I won't mate with someone who can't even shift"

Fay felt her whole body trembling again,tears pricked at the corners of her eyes.

The lady smiled pleased,she stepped forward,her heels clicking on the tiled floor.

“Well,my dear Alpha Roderick,I Know you're disappointed and thought you have wasted your time. You can't certainly mate with a girl without any wolf traits and besides she is one of the lowly slaves here”

“How true is this,Lord Benard?" Alpha Roderick asked the moment he heard she was a maid.

The Lord feigned a sad expression on his face,”That is very true" 

" That is a sacrilege,”Alpha Roderick spat again.

“You know we can't lie to you but if only the Alpha pleases to hear what I have to say”The lady cooed

Alpha Roderick sighed," Go ahead”

The lady smiled ,”Perhaps,my daughter Gwen can be a good match for your son,she is eighteen and beautiful, untouched by any man and she has the wolf traits.Her wolf has already manifested , perhaps she would be a more suitable match for your son?”

Fay felt as if she had been punched in the guts,she felt weak all over as tears rushed to her eyes and slipped down her cheeks.

“Where is she?" Alpha Roderick asked impatiently.

The lady looked up at the top of the stairs and everyone followed her eyes to where Gwen stood looking down at them,her face stained with heavy makeup and her blonde hair pulled up on her head.

She slowly ascended down the stairs like a princess, taking one step at a time as she came to stand beside her mother 

“She is very beautiful”Alpha Roderick said,”I like her"

“And what do you say,Gwen ?" Rosie turned to her daughter.

Gwen looked up and smiled sweetly

“I'd be honored to be considered as a potential mate for Roderick”She said, her voice dripping with sweetness.

“It is settled then,I choose you Gwen as my mate this very day" Roderick said smiling.

He extended his hand to her and she took it as he brought it up to his lips and planted a kiss on the back of her palm

Then he turned to look at Fay,his expression sour " AND, I , ALPHA RODERICK, REJECT YOU, FAY AS MY MATE "

Fay looked up at him,tears slipping down her cheeks, her chest burning with pain and hurt.

“Take her away,let her get busy with something" The Lord told the gamma.

The gamma nodded and marched forward, pulling her hand and taking her away like a piece of dirty rag.

Tears slipped down Fay's cheeks as she followed the gamma,they brushed

past the lady who whispered something to the gamma.

”You know what to do," She said.
