CHAPTER 6: REJECT YOUR REJECTION 

~SELENA

"Please leave, I don't want any trouble," I said calmly, but she chuckled in response. "I see you've grown little wings after tasting my man—"

"He is my mate," I angrily cut in, but she scoffed. "Oh really? Now show me the mating mark," she taunted, purposefully sweeping her hair backward.

My heart sank at the sight of the mark on her collarbone, but before I could defend myself, she grabbed my hair with a grip so tight it felt like she could rip it out. I winced in pain as she spoke, her words dripping with venom.

“Now listen carefully, you shameless whore of an omega. I suggest you leave this pack because the moment he officially makes me his Luna, I'm going to make you suffer for seducing him,” she seethed, releasing my hair with enough force to send me stumbling back on the mirror

It shattered and its shards cut into my skin.

“Weak, worthless piece of shit!" she spat before storming out, slamming the door behind her.

The stains of the insults she threw at me were all over my soul like mud prints, and the only person I could think about in this threatening situation was my unborn baby. I have passed through hell enough already, and I don't want the same for my baby.

I want my baby to grow up in a safer environment, far away from dangerous people like her, and since Hunter had chosen his woman over us, then it's best I seek safety for my child somewhere else.

~HUNTER

As I stood before the dressing mirror, adjusting my cufflinks, the door creaked open, and I glimpsed Nadia's reflection as she entered my room.

Approaching me, she flashed a smile and wrapped her arms around my waist from behind, her breasts pressing firmly against my back.

“You smell nice," she murmured, planting a kiss on my back.

“What's on your mind, Nadia?" I asked, amused.

“Can't you tell?” she teased. I turned to face her, grinning.

“Looks like you're craving me,” I remarked.

“Okay, that's was fuckin accurate," she admitted, laughing.

I leaned in to kiss her lips.

"Let me help you with that tie," she offered, taking it from me. As she began to knot it, she asked, “So, where are you off to, looking so dashing?”

“Care to guess?" I teased.

“You know I'm terrible at guessing," she replied.

“Well, I've finally decided to meet your father," I revealed, and her eyes lit up. "Does this mean you're ready to make me your Luna?"

“I have always wished to make you my Luna, Nadia. It's just that I have been busy with the pack and all,” I lied.

Nadia had been kept in the dark about my curse because I always ensured she was out of town every full moon. Although she had confronted me about rumors of me behaving wildly during those times, I had managed to convince her they were all false.

Making her my Luna would mean she would have to stay under my roof, and eventually, she would discover the truth about my curse. That had always been my fear. However, since Selena's presence had proven to minimize my curse, I believed it was now the safest time to tie the knot and be with her.

“I understand, Hun. But my Dad is now skeptical about our marriage because of the news about you going insane on a full moon,” she explained.

“They're baseless rumors, Nadia. Don't pay attention to them,” I reassured her.

Adjusting my collar, she replied, “I know, I'm certain they're rumors, but my Dad… you know, he wants to see for himself that you're nothing like what the rumor is all about.”

“So, your Dad wants me to prove myself to him?”

“More like.”

"Alright, fine. I will go see him in the next full moon," I said, and she sweetly smiled.

She tiptoed, and we indulged in a passionate kiss after which she handed me my briefcase and said with a flirtatious smile, “Make sure you come home early. I will be preparing something delicious tonight.”

“Sounds more like sex, but either way, I'm in," I grinned, and she chuckled.

I said my goodbyes and made my way out of the room. In the hallway, I came across Liam, who bowed and took the briefcase from me. As we headed to the car park, he reported, “Alpha, we have a problem.”

“Don't you think it's too early for problems and—”

"Alpha, we can't find Selena,” he cut in, causing me to pause from entering the car. "What do you mean you can't find Selena?” I asked through gritted teeth, causing him to cringe in fear.

"Speak!” I roared when he failed to answer.

"I think she ran away, Alpha.”

My eyes widened, and my hands balled into fists.

“You punk!" I threw a punch at his face. “She managed to sneak out because you're incompetent. Just this one assignment and you messed it up.”

"Damn it!” I vented my anger to the car, hitting the bonnet. “Go search all the rooms right now!"

"We've done that, Alpha. There is no sign of her anywhere, but I managed to find this in her bathroom,” he said with a grimace, touching his burst lips while handing me the item.

“What the hell is this?" I asked, frowning at the item.

“It's a pregnancy test strip. Alpha, I think Selena is pregnant." I was shocked to the bone by the news. 

My eyes softened for a moment, but then my anger resurfaced. Maybe she took a walk around or something, I thought, trying to calm my angry wolf. 

Nevertheless, I reached for my cell phone and called her contact. Relief washed over me as the call immediately connected.

“Selena, I need you back home immediately.”

"I'm not coming back to that bondage you call home,” she replied, sounding angry.

"What are you saying, Selena? I've always given you everything you ask for. What the hell do you mean?” I muttered angrily.

She began sobbing as she replied. “Yes, you gave me everything, but you never loved me. You used me!" My frown deepened as she added, “You've chosen that woman of yours over me.”

Fuck, how did she find out?

No, no. This can't be happening right now. I can't lose her just yet.

“You should reject me this instant because you will never get to see me again—"

I cut her off, anger bubbling in my tone. “I’m never going to reject you, so make your way back home this instant.”

“And why should I do as you say? So you can end up inflicting more pain on me? Haven't you had enough already?” She choked out her words in tears, causing my wolf to whimper. “I, Selena Lopez, reject you, Hunter—”

“I reject your rejection.” Just when I was about to say more, my ears picked up a commotion from the other end of the call. “Hello?"

“Selena?" There was no response, and at that moment, my wolf growled. It was a signal Selena might possibly be in danger. The next minute, the call disconnected, leaving me uneasy.

I tried calling her again and again, but it repeatedly redirected me to drop a voicemail. My frustration hit the roof, and I sent my phone crashing against the wall, smashing it beyond repair.

I turned to Liam, who looked like he was going to wet his pants the next second.

“Cancel all my schedules for today. I need every wolf unit in the streets immediately. We must find Selena before dusk.”
