Rejected, Now Wanted Twenty-Six
~ Isabella’s POVIt was extremely late by the time I was able to complete my tasks in the kitchen. I had been under Lillian’s supervision and she had taken great pleasure in nitpicking on every little mistake I made. And even when I had completed a task successfully and perfectly, she still found reasons to berate and belittle me. I retired to my room looking half-dead. My body felt limp but painfully protested against what I had put it through both in the morning and after. Despite all she had put me through that day, I had been immensely grateful to Lillian when she had volunteered to serve Damien his meal that night. I knew she had only done that to prevent me from getting closer to Damien, but I couldn't find it in me to care. By then, I was completely convinced that I had pledged myself in marriage to a cruel and ruthless monster. I wished with everything in me that Alpha Damien would fall for Lilian's wiles and divert his attention to her. The thought of that happening brought

~Isabella’s POVAlpha Damien rose to his feet and began to give a speech. I paid no attention to his words, but I heard him saying some sanctimonious bullshit like 'continuity of the pack', 'most powerful pack' and 'peace and progress for all'How on earth has his pack members not revolted against him already? Ever since I got here, I have not noticed a single pack member who looked unsettled with what he's been doing. Even the Luna, although she looked a bit scared of him, seems to be just taking him, taking another wife in stride.He eventually finished his speech and sat down. They waited until he picked up his fork and spoon before also picking up theirs.I watched as everyone started eating but I couldn’t even pick up my culinary utensils as I thought about how I was going to survive in the palace. From the looks on their faces, I wasn't certain every member of the pack was happy about or understood why the Alpha had decided to marry me, but none of them could see what I was goin

~Nathan’s POV“Will you explain what is happening right now, Claire?” I asked as I turned to Claire.Jones was still dazed and quickly collected himself when he heard my voice. He quickly sends Dr Lucas so that he won’t know what was going and with a bow, Lucas exits the room. Claire was still silent and then I shouted at her, “Explain what exactly is going on now!” She flinched back and then took to her knees begging for my forgiveness.“You still haven’t told me what I wanted to hear,” I said angrily.“I need answers to what Dr Lucas said!” I added.“I’m sorry, Your Majesty.” She said crying.She explained to me that had been in love with me ever since she was young but then she eventually found her mate a few months ago. Her mate was a wealthy man and from a neighboring pack and her father was so interested in his money that he hurriedly sent her to her mate’s house without a proper wedding.She wept as she continued, saying that her mate was a ruthless and wicked man.

~ Isabella’s POVIt was so bright in the morning as the sun shone on me and then I woke up on the bed with my vision blurry. I looked around to see where I was and then Lillian brought her face closer to mine which made me open my eyes wider and quickly sit up to see where I was. As I did so, nausea rose up in me and my head began to pound as the memories of the previous night came to me. I closed my eyes briefly and opened it again as every part of me protested against the slight movement. I held onto my head my one hand, as I winced in pain and then Lillian shouted at me to stop being a weak person.“Why are you here?” I asked as soon as I was able to lift my head without feeling dizzy.She smirked and then went to bring me a cup of water to drink. I cautiously took the cup of water from her and only stared at it, not making any attempt to drink from it.“What? You think I might have poisoned it?” She asked, chuckling.I placed the cup of water on the small table beside my bed and a

~Nathan’s POVI woke up feeling dizzy and my head was pounding like I had been hit on the head with a stone. Dr Lucas was sitting beside me on the bed checking my pulse.“Are you okay, Your majesty?” He asked immediately, he saw me opening my eyes. Jones also ran to my side when he heard Lucas’s voice. They both helped me up and I asked them how long I was unconscious.“More than twelve hours, Your majesty. Your breathing and heart rate are stable at the moment but I can’t say if you won’t have another crisis later.” Lucas said.“Thank you, Lucas. You can return back to the infirmary.” I said weakly.He packed his bags and bowed before leaving the room. I looked at the time and it was past twelve.“The meeting.” I said as I stood up from the bed, charged towards my wardrobe to get dressed and informed Jones to call in the members of the council to have our meeting.“They were here this morning and I led the meeting on your behalf.” Jones said.I felt relieved and asked him what he t

~Damien’s POVI was still in the deep throes of sleep in the very early morning of the next day when Luke arrived from the pack's territory. He braved my anger by waking me up before the stipulated time that I had ordered that I must not be woken up before that time. He had come back with the report from the soldiers at the pack’s territory. I was still yelling at him for bathing into my channels early in the morning when he bravely interrupted me, on his knees. He claimed that I had to see the report as soon as possible as it was urgent and needed my full attention.I read through the report and it was reported that the Shadow Pack had finally launched an attack on us. I say finally because the Shadow Pack was a small pack I had been trying to conquer and take over for months. It was a neighboring pack that had just come into existence and from the moment I knew about them, I decided to take them back for myself. They had encroached on my Pack's territory and had always gotten on my

~ Isabella’s POVMrs Amber and I looked at each other, with identical expressions of fear on our faces when Damien chased us out of his room. I looked at her sadly and then she turned to me. "I’m sorry about the way Alpha Damien treated you just now. I’m sure he is dealing with something important, that was why he behaved that way," she said, smiling softly.What? She is still apologizing on his behalf after being humiliated in the presence of Luke. So this is how Damien had been treating his mate. I’m not the only one he treated badly.I nodded at her and then she retired to her room while I did so too. I changed into the maid clothes and rushed to the kitchen as I didn’t want any trouble with Lillian. I was mentally and emotionally drained to argue or fight with anyone. When I entered the kitchen, the maids all looked back at me and with a smirk they all gossiped about what happened the previous night between Damien and I. I ignored them and went to my duty post to start working.J

~Isabella’s POV"Wait, what?" Jonas' face had turned incredulous with shock. All of a sudden, the muscles of his face relaxed, and his shock gave way to bemusement."You are joking, right?” Jones asked, a tentative smile on his face.“Do I look like I’m joking? I got married to Alpha Damien a few days ago.” I said, trying to keep my emotions off my face.It was a difficult feat as my mind began to race with questions. Hope flared in my chest, but I ruthlessly stamped it down. I had learned the hard way that hope was a futile thing and it only left me feeling worse once disappointed.Why would Nathan be looking for me now? He was the one who rejected me and because of his rejection, I had suffered at the hands of Damien. I became an object of mockery to him and his pack members. I cleared my throat and, fighting back the tears that wanted to spill over, I looked up at Jones and told him to return back to his pack without me."No," he said as he shook his head violently."Leave Beta J
