ALPHA LYCAN'S FORCED BRIDE.

ALPHA LYCAN'S FORCED BRIDE.

Kayla's POV.

"I, Kayla Hills, accept your rejection, Alpha Lex!" I declared, my fingers tightly clenched on my worn-out gown, my gaze fixed firmly on both Lex and my step-sister, Kara.

The smug grin on Kara's face made it clear that she enjoyed watching me go through pain and heartbreak.

She had always been wicked and heartless, constantly trying to claim what rightfully belonged to me.

But this time, she had gone too far, and I was determined to make her pay for making my mate reject me on my eighteenth birthday.

I wasn't exactly sure how I would get my revenge, but Kara would definitely not escape the consequences of making me feel this way.

"What? You accept what?" Alpha Lex's voice suddenly pierced through my ears, his hands pulling away from Kara's grasp.

It was obvious that there was still a hint of connection between us and I could sense it. But Kara wasn't going to let him get closer to me.

She firmly gripped his wrist, forcefully pulling him back towards herself. "Let her be! It's better that she accepts the rejection rather than trying to fight with you! After all, she has always been a liar!"

Each word that escaped her lips fueled my rage, intensifying my fury until it threatened to consume me completely.

"I have never lied to anyone, Kara! It's you who is falsely claiming my identity, and you damn well know it!" I retorted, my voice laced with anger and frustration.

"KAYLA HILLS!! How dare you speak to your Luna in such a manner?!" Alpha Lex thundered, his face contorted with anger and a hint of regret.

I could see the conflict in his eyes, but I couldn't tell which emotion held the upper hand.

Was he in deep regret for losing me or simply infuriated that I had always been by his side?

"My Luna? She's nothing but a..." I started to say, but before I could finish my sentence, he moved closer to me, his eyes piercing into mine, a venomous smirk spreading across his lips.

"She is your Luna, and you better show her the respect she deserves! Do you understand?" He demanded, his voice resonating with a deep, commanding tone.

I briefly glanced at my sister, who seemed gleeful at the thought of me being pushed out of Alpha Lex's heart.

The anger within me surged, and I wished I could instantly eliminate her presence from my sight.

"DO YOU UNDERSTAND!!?" Alpha Lex repeated, his voice more insistent this time, snapping my attention back to him.

For a moment, I stood there frozen and speechless, contemplating my next move.

The truth was, I had no intention of showing any respect to someone as malicious as Kara.

She had always been a thorn in my flesh, my nemesis, a werewolf who took pleasure in seeing me suffer and never wished for my happiness.

One day she's claiming to be my father's daughter, and the next she's by the side of my supposed mate. I was definitely going to refuse to give her the satisfaction she craved.

"I'm sorry, Alpha, but I can't! No! No matter who she is to you, Lex... the fact that she's a liar and my wicked sister makes it impossible for me to bow down to her!" I declared, my face contorted with anger and fury.

"You better heed to his words as your Alpha, Kayla. You've lied enough, and it's time you face the consequences!" she snarled, taking slow steps closer to Alpha Lex once again.

"Consequences? Whose consequences? By the time he finds out the truth about you, Kara... I'll be here to witness your downfall!" I blurted out, unable to contain my seething anger.

However, before I could continue, Kara swiftly raised her hand and delivered a hard slap to my left cheek, causing me to moan in pain and clutch my stinging face.

"How dare you speak to me like that?" she growled, her gaze burning with fury as her eyes bulged with rage.

I turned towards Lex, my hand still tightly clutching my swollen cheek.

A glimmer of hope remained within me, a flicker of expectation that he would intervene and defend me.

But as I anticipated, he remained silent, almost as if he were under Kara's full control.

"I... I should have known," I whimpered softly, my voice filled with disappointment and sorrow.

With a heavy heart, I turned away from them, intending to leave them all behind. However, Lex's voice suddenly pierced through the tense silence making me halt abruptly.

"You know, I should have given you the chance to be my Slave mate if you had shown respect to my Luna," he stated, his words striking me like a blow to the chest.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. After all the love I had for him, he planned on reducing me to a slave? I said Inwardly, biting my lower lips in regret.

"But…I believe this is the right decision to make. You will be leaving the Pack's castle with Mr. and Mrs. Draco within the next five seconds," he added, revealing a shocking and horrifying truth.

"What? What does that mean?" I exclaimed, confusion swirling within me.

I turned around, seeking answers, only to be met with Kara's delighted gaze and Lex's furious glare.

"You heard him loud and clear, Kayla! You're being discarded like a stray dog! My Alpha won't allow a worthless creature like you to linger around his castle!"

Kara jeered, turning to Lex and kissing him passionately, her hand placed possessively on his chest.

I was still struggling to understand why she was being so wicked towards me when suddenly, the doors swung open, causing me to momentarily divert my gaze.

"Alpha! They've arrived!" Beta Bryan announced, stepping into the building from behind me.

I turned back to face Lex, and with a sinister grin, he spoke to me in a commanding tone.

"Your new owners have arrived! You should leave, and you should do it now!" His voice resonated with a deep authority, leaving me trembling with pain and sadness but I couldn't say no.

"Fine! I'll leave, but mark my words, Alpha Lex! This day will never be forgotten! The day you cast aside everything we shared and discarded it like mud! You will come to regret it!" I declared, my voice filled with determination and a sense of longing.

Without hesitation, tears streaming down my face and the sting of Kara's slap still fresh on my cheek, I walked out of the castle.

The second I got out, I was greeted by the sight of an older couple standing by their car, waiting for me.

Their eyes fell upon me, making me feel nauseous.

"Are you Kayla Hills?" They inquired, making me nod my head in response.

Without wasting any time, I was ushered into the car, and we swiftly drove out from the Pack's castle.

As we distanced ourselves, I couldn't resist the urge to glance back at the Pack's castle one last time.

Anger filled my soul as I saw Lex standing near his window, with Kara by his side. The sight filled me with a sense of betrayal.

A heavy sigh escaped my lips, mingling with the sadness that weighed heavily on my heart.

I shifted my focus back to the two old hags before me, Mrs. and Mr. Draco and for a second, I went blank.

"Where are we going?" I asked, my voice tinged with uncertainty. I had no idea where they were taking me.

Immediately, Mrs. Draco turned to face me, her expression transforming into a chilling glare that sent shivers down my spine.

"We are taking you to a place that suits a rejected Omega. You are to be married to the Alpha Lycan King, Netayam Hale!"

Her words hit me like a thunderbolt, filling me with a mixture of shock, fear, and anger.
