Once Rejected, Twice Accepted

Amanda.

It was all going down tonight, I thought as I walked through the corridors that would take me straight to Zane’s room. 

My smile was radiant, lighting up my entire face with warmth and joy. My eyes danced with the happiness which was radiating through me, and anyone who saw me in the moment could have sworn that I was flying over the moon. 

Why wouldn’t I be?

After dating Zane for about two years in secrecy, I was about to get revealed to the whole werewolf community as his chosen mate. 

It wasn’t that I had not wanted the entire people of Blue Heart pack not to know that I was romantically involved with Zane all these while, but I had to exercise patience. After all, he was the heir to the throne. 

However, all the secrecy would change tonight as he was getting coronated as an Alpha and he would have to choose his mate before one and all. 

At first, I had worried that about what the pack people would think of me and if I would be accepted as the Luna as I was only but an Omega. Worse, after Zane and I crossed eighteen years, both of us had realized that we weren’t mates. But Zane had assured me that he didn’t need me to be his true mate from the goddess as he would choose me over his true mate for the sake of how much he loved me. 

I clutched the gift box I had with me even tighter and hastened my steps to his room. In less than an hour, he would no longer be the heir but the Alpha himself. I wanted to be the first to congratulate him on ascending to the rank before any other person would. 

As I turned the last corner to his room, the smell of body fluids and sex filled the air. I got confused over how that could have been since I knew that no slave would dare to defile the Alpha’s quarter like that. 

All the alarm bells in my head rung simultaneously but I still decided to shrug my thoughts off. 

After all, there was no way Zane would disrespect me like that. 

Rather than the quick steps I had been taking, I paused and then suddenly pick up the pace of my walking. By the time I got to the door of his room, I met it slightly opened, and that too with not a guard in place. 

“Fuck!” A moan came from the room. My hands began to shake as I held the doorknob. Not because it was now clear to me that Zane was indeed cheating on me, but because I would recognize that voice anywhere in the world. 

It belonged to my twin sister, Tiana. 

“You like that, huh?” Zane’s voice came over, intruding into my thoughts. 

With my shaky fingers, I held the door handle and pushed it down, opening the door completely. 

Right there, on the couch in the room, was my supposed boyfriend and my twin sister, grunting and ramming into each other as if their very existence depended on it. 

“You like how I fuck you, yeah?!” Zane grunted again.

“Yeah, baby. Fuck that pussy,” Tiana moaned. She released her hold on the couch edge and dug her fingers into the back of Zane instead, aching her back forward in order to give him more room to pound into her. 

The box of gift I had in my hand fell, making a loud sound along either their animalistic growls at each other. That seemed to get their attentions and they looked up to see who had dared to intrude their spaces. 

“Shit!” Zane hissed the moment his gaze settled upon me. 

However, he didn’t move away from my sister or try to act remorseful at being caught in the act.

“Oh, you are here!” My sister tried to act shocked, but I could tell from her tone that she was mocking me about the discovery I just made. If her tone hadn’t given her away, the way her eyes batted at me was enough to prove she didn’t care. To further prove that I was right, she tightened the hold she had on Zane and pushed him forward so his cock could sit pretty on her. 

“Yes!” Zane moaned shamelessly at the act. 

To say I was struck with disbelief would be putting it prettily. I was so in shock that I couldn’t determine if I wanted to stay and confront them or if I just wanted to walk away from the whole mess. 

In the end, my feet backtracked on its own and I found myself walking away. As soon as I was at the door and wanted to go out, Tiana’s voice stopped me. 

“By the way, do you know that I am Zane’s true mate and he will be announcing me as the Luna in less than thirty minutes?” She scoffed at me. 

The speed at which I turned to look at her was insane. I saw that Zane had already stood up and was now wearing his shorts, just like Tiana was as well. 

“Wh-what do you mean? I was supposed to be the Luna?!” I screamed at my sister. 

In all the nineteen years of our existence, Tiana had always made sure that whatever it was I wanted, whatever I chased, she got for herself, leaving me empty handed after that. 

But why had the moon goddess decided to rub salt on my injury by deliberately making her the true mate for the man I loved? Just this once, why couldn’t the moon goddess let me win? Why couldn’t Zane choose me over her?

“Zane, please tell me it is not true,” I asked the man whom I had spent the day before in his arms, making what I thought was love. 

The disdained look he turned at me was enough to give me shock. I somehow knew what was coming even before he replied to me. 

“You think I really will choose a person with a weak wolf like you? I am going to be the Aloha in less than an hour. So, tell me why I will leave your sister with the strong Gamma wolf and choose you who has a weak wolf like an Omega despite being the daughter of a Gamma?” He hissed at me.

“But, Zane—“

“—Let this be the last time you will call my name with that filthy mouth of yours! I am Alpha Zane for you. Unless of course, you are ready to lose your life!” 

Despite how calm his voice was, I knew that he meant every single word he spoke. He was going to kill me if I didn’t take the caution he gave. 

“Is that understood?” He hissed at me. 

“Y-yes, Al-alpha Zane,” I spoke out in shaking breaths. 

By now, they were both dressed in their new attires that they have chosen for the occasion. They walked to where I was and paused. Zane simply looked at me and walked away. Tiana however leaned closed to me until her mouth was closed to my right ear. 

“I won this one again, dearest sister.” And with that, she walked away as well.
