Chapter 241

He knew nothing about my pain or struggles, yet he could call me names.

The silence in the hall was heart wrenching. What even scared me the most was the cold stare he gave to me. Was he going to kill me? Was he going to send his guards to throw me out or lock me up?

Before I could get the answers to my questions, what I heard next threw me off balance.

“I can't accept someone who is not better than a Rogue,” he said, breaking the silence and my breath became irregular.

“I, David Morris, the Alpha King of the Dark Moon pack, reject you as my mate!” he declared and everyone in the hall gasped in surprise.

There it was. The damn bombshell.

“What!”

“Mate?!”

“Really?”

Murmurs filled the air and the entire room became so noisy.

“Your family are murderers! Your life line doesn't deserve to exist. You’ll return to the streets and suffer as you should.” Alpha David asked, calling my family names.

“David!” Queen Sophia cried from where she stood. From cloudy eyes, I saw her walk briskly towards him.

“Now, now. Think properly about this. If you reject her and she walks away, you might never be able to…”

He shrugged his shoulders, easing himself off her hold.

“I’m willing to pay whatever price mother. But I would not have the daughter of a man that put you through so much pain underneath the same roof as me as anything besides a servant.”

A servant?

I was filled with so much shock and embarrassment. I could not help but break down into tears.

I tried to hold the hot tears back but to no avail. I was angry at him, angry at myself. Angry at the world. I wouldn't have been here if it didn't have anything to do with my brother.

I lost my stance and began to shake vehemently.

“Why are you standing there looking like that? I command you to accept my rejection now!” he fiercely orders.

“I, Lillie Rome, accept the rejection of Alpha David, the Alpha King of darkmoon pack.”

Immediately the last word fell off my lips. I pushed him and ran out of the palace with all my might.

I ran so hard into the dark woods. I prayed silently that the ground should open and swallow me.

I didn’t stop running, no matter how my feet hurt. I tossed my shoes into the dust and continued on my bare feet. The bruises were nothing compared to the burning in my heart.

Until I heard it.

I paused, panting heavily, as I turned around. The sounds became louder, more violent. Enid sniffed the air before her senses heightened.

“Danger.” She growled. “We’re in danger.”

I kicked my right foot against a tree bark. Just great!

“Be on alert.” I instructed her, and wiped my tears from my eyes. It was time to fight for my fucking life.

I heard growling from the dark ends of the woods. Before I knew it, six hefty black wolves appeared in front of me, rolling their tongues as they saw me.

In a flash, I shifted into my wolf and faced them. I growled loudly although my wolf was small compared to them.

They moved closer to me, pouncing me from different angles and I fought them off.

Five minutes into the fight, my body was filled with so many injuries.

I became tired and weak to fight back. I slumped straight to the floor with my eyes half closed.

I couldn't move. I guess they may just devour me and kill me since they can.

Watching dimly, I saw the six wolves moving towards where I was. They flashed their teeth as they came closer wanting to tear me apart.

They looked hungry and I was going to be their meal for the day.

I saw one of the wolves jump towards me but suddenly, four different wolves appeared from nowhere and dug their teeth into the skin of the six wolves, wanting to tear them apart.

I was losing it already. My head was banging seriously and the pain was becoming worse.

The fight became tough and I could hear the sounds of them fighting.

Suddenly, the six wolves jumped into the woods and disappeared after being overpowered.

“I, I…. Hel-,” I tried to speak as I shook on the floor where I was.

My eyes which were half closed suddenly went shut as I saw the four wolves approaching me .
