Rejected by Duke Taken by Ace

~01~

Minsi pleaded as the man climbed downstairs with long strides, coming at her. His face was covered with anger and hatred. He enjoyed torturing her just because Minsi wasn’t a woman of his choice. The poor woman would ask herself from time to time whether it was her fault that she was born the way she was. The man acted as if she had asked to be born the way she was. Tears streamed down Minsi’s cheeks profusely.

“You disgust me, Minsi. I have no idea what the Moon Goddess was thinking to make you my mate! You, of all the women in this pack? What was she thinking?” He growled, stopping right before her. His eyes were glazing with hate and malice. She flinched and took a step back, fear engulfing her, but she tried to stand her ground with him. “I’m sorry that I am not the woman of your dreams. We’re bound together, whether you want or not!” She shouted back, pain engulfing her heart.

After all, what was more painful than your mate not being satisfied with how you look? She was different from all the other women in their pack, and he never ceased to remind her of that with his painful words. 

“Oh, have you looked at yourself in the mirror? You are twice my size!” 

“Yes! But I didn’t beg to be like this.” 

“And I didn’t beg to be tied up with you!” He glowered at her face, veins popping on his forehead. He wrapped his hand around her wrist, and she shook her head in denial. “And that’s why I need to show you, Minsi. You need to see for yourself what kinds of women are fit to be with me. Which is definitely unlike you.” He uttered with so much arrogance dripping in his tone. 

“Let me go. Don’t do this to me, Duke.” She fought to be released, but then who was she kidding?  She had no power over the Alpha of the Maplewood pack. Duke, her mate, forcefully dragged her upstairs to his bedroom and kicked the door open. He went ahead and dragged her, shoved her inside, before slamming the door shut and locking it. 

Before them was his king-size bed, and three beautiful women were sprawled on it. Minsi recognized all of them, but one of them stood out amongst them all. Lupa. Her childhood best friend. The most beautiful woman in their pack. 

How could she? She thought. And as Minsi examined her, the shameless woman got on her feet with a smirk. Lupa was only in her red thong like the other two women. She slowly made her way to where Duke was. She wrapped her hands around his neck and pulled him down to her lips, and the man wrapped his hands around her thin waist, kissing her back. More painful tears rolled down Minsi’s burning eyes.  

Her heart felt like it was getting crushed with a hammer. “Duke,” she said, standing upright and pushing her hair off her face. “Keep your mouth shut and enjoy the show, Minsi.” He said, letting Lupa take off his shirt. Minsi let out a deep, painful breath when Lupa unbuckled his belt and let his pants fall to the floor. 

An uncontrollable possessiveness shot all over Minsi’s body. She could feel her wolf kicking inside her to get out and take down Lupa. But not only was she big, she also had the disadvantage of not being able to fight. Minsi thought her body size ruined everything for her. And unlike her, Lupa was one of the best female fighters in the Maplewood pack. And she was nowhere near her league.

Poor Minsi could only stand there in tears and watch as her childhood best friend took her mate to the bed and dropped him down. Then all of them started to have their way with him. One dealing with his mouth, one kissing on his chest, and defined abs and Lupa… Oh, she had a better idea of making Minsi die of pain today.

She climbed on top of him and sat on his erect manhood. She then began to move up and down, fucking her mate like a hoe that she was. On the other hand, Duke was groaning and grunting in satisfaction as all this was happening. Minsi bet he was having the time of his life with his dream woman while she was slowly dying from watching him cheat on her right before her eyes. 

How could he do this to me? How could he be so cruel to me? Minsi thought, gripping her dress on the side as their moans filled and corrupted her mind. She felt like her body was getting tangled with thorn metal wires all over. Like her throat was getting closed together, making it hard for her to breathe. Like she was getting suffocated. They went one round, second, third, fourth… and as if it wasn’t painful enough, she had to watch her mate come over and over again, but it wasn’t because of the pleasure she gave him, but of other women.

Lupa got off him, licking her lips with a stupid grin plastered on her face. She was mocking her. The shameless girl was supposed to be her friend, not the woman who made out with her mate! Or was she the only friend in their friendship this whole time, and Lupa, on the other hand, wasn’t? 

Duke got up, looking disheveled and satisfied. He then walked over to the door, unlocked and opened it wide. The cold in his eyes returned as he looked at Minsi, disgust written all over his face. “I hereby reject you, Minsi. I will never take you as my mate and Luna! From now on, you are banished. Take your things and get out of my pack. Now!”

Something painful was untangled in Minsi’s heart. You’d think a tight knot that bound her and Duke was finally undone at his words. Yeah. She was now not only nobody’s mate but also had nowhere to go. Her feet gave way, and she slumped on the floor, tears flowing like a broken dam. “How could you be so cruel, Duke? Is it my fault that I am the way I am?” She said, looking up at him in painful disbelief.

Duke leaned over the doorframe and crossed his hands on his chest. “I don’t give a fuck what you think of yourself. Scram, Minsi. I do not ever wish to see you again.” Duke rasped. Minsi spared him a last glance before picking herself up and starting to walk out of the room with a shattered heart and only searing pain escorting her out. 

She only managed to take a few steps when she suddenly stumbled, fell, and rolled downstairs. She hit her head on the stairs, and blood started to paint her forehead and left eye. The booming laughter of the women standing upstairs in Duke’s hands came. Mocking her further. Why was God so cruel to me? Was what happened back there not enough? She thought.

Minsi wiped her cheeks, gathered herself up, and ran to the kitchen. She was now a nobody with nowhere to go. God, how worse could it get?
