‘’I, Alpha Jared Henderson of the Northern Moon pack reject Luna Selena Monroe as my mate and Luna.’’ My mate announces loudly to the spectating pack members, regarding me with cold eyes. ‘’As the Alpha, I also strip your right as my pack member.’’ In other words, I have now become a werewolf with no pack. A rogue **** Selena Monroe has always been quiet and reserved unlike her outgoing twin sister, Sienna Monroe, who has always been preferred for her bold nature. Her peaceful life with her family came crashing down when she was blamed for a rogue attack and the cause of her favored twin sister’s coma. As if that was not enough damage, her mate was found to be the young Alpha of her pack, someone whom everyone had assumed would be mated to her twin sister. What happens when Selena becomes pregnant two years later and faced her mate’s unexpected rejection and banishment from the pack? Will she remain in the pack under the identity of rogue and live much worse than before? Or Will Selena willingly leave the pack, but with additional life growing inside her?

Friday. September 22, 2022.
‘’Congratulations, Mrs. Henderson. You’re three weeks pregnant.’’
My mind instantly blanked out as the doctor stretches his hand forward with the pregnancy report.
‘’Mrs. Henderson?’’
‘’Y-Yes...’’ A shaky breath leaves my lips as I answer with a stutter, snapping out my daze. My eyes zone on the paper and my fingers trembles slightly as I take the pregnancy report.
My gaze lower to the paper where it indicated my pregnancy and truly, I am three weeks pregnant. A wave of strong emotions clashes over me as I tear up at the glaring evidence.
I have been with a child for three weeks.
‘’Are you alright, Mrs. Henderson?’’ The doctor calls out with uncertainty. Perhaps to him, my reaction to the pregnancy was not what he expected from a married woman.
‘’Y-Yes, I’m fine, doctor.’’ I sniff up my pooling tears, and raise my head with a forced smile. ‘’It’s just....shocking to hear.’’
Indeed, quite a shocking one.
‘’I can understand.’’ The doctor offers a consoling smile and did not ask further question to my reactions which I appreciated.
For the rest of my time in the gynecology unit, I half-heartedly listened to the advice of the doctor, and also about my next appointment before leaving the hospital in a daze.
‘...Pregnant...’ The word echoes in my mind again and again. I was pregnant with a child...Jared’s child....my mate.
A mate who loathed my existence.
‘’.....’’
I let out a quiet sigh, staring up at the blue sky at the entrance of the hospital.
‘’Mother will protect you, my child.’’ I mumble under my breath with my hand gently over my lower belly. Just the thought of my mate hating this child’s existence because of me heightened my protective instincts.
Although, I still had second thoughts that Jared may soften his heart at the announcement of his unborn child. Even my family and the pack members....I truly hope they could soften their hearts from the past and move forward with this child as their future Alpha.
Growl
‘’Haha...’’ I release a small chuckle at the growl in my head. My sudden smile attracted some weird glances but I paid no heed to them when my werewolf who rarely growled, finally announced her existence.
Her protective feelings aligned with mine, and I instinctively knew that she also would protect our unborn child from any harm.
‘’I should go back to the university for my evening class.’’ With that, I left the hospital in a fairly good mood with the pregnancy report in my bag.
****
‘’So...I assume you’re ready to spill the beans, Lena.’’
In the car with my two friends, I sat in the back seat with one in passenger seat and the other in the driver seat.
‘’.....’’
‘’The perfect A student and fav of all lecturers came quite late to class.’’ The one in the driver seat, Stephanie Wallace, glances at me in the rearview mirror. ‘’ Are you going to remain quiet or should I force it out from you?’’ She arches an eyebrow with a look that said she was not backing down from this.
‘’Steph....’’
‘’Zip it, Logan.’’ She clips back at her boyfriend on the passenger seat, and focus her hazel eyes on the traffic light that still shone red. ‘’Lena has been acting quiet weird for a long time now, and she’s not telling us anything. This is the first time you came late to class and I just want to know if my best friend’s doing okay.’’
These two were Stephanie Wallace and Logan Finnes.
Two friends who have been with me from the beginning of our first year as business majors. Stephanie was the very outgoing yet mischievous type. She has a sharp yet blunt mouth and very strong headed.
Logan was the opposite. Quite a nerd and very reserved just like me. When these two opposites announced their relationship at the end of first year, I was very shocked because they were like fire and water, always arguing and picking on each other.
Enemies to lovers.
That popular trope was the fitting label of their relationship as friends yet not friends.
‘’...I found my mate.’’ I announce to them, and the car remained silent for a moment before Stephanie spoke up.
‘’Really? Congrats, Lena! This is good news!’’ She turns her head to me with a wide grin. ‘’I’ve been wondering how to ask since you’re past eighteen and twenty now.’’
‘’Congrats, Lena.’’ Logan also offers his congratulations with a small smile.
That’s right.
These two knew that I am werewolf. To be more accurate, Stephanie is half-werewolf; born to a human and a werewolf, and her mate is Logan, a human boyfriend.
Werewolves have been discovered to have human mates, so a very small percentage of the human population can be said to be aware of the existence of werewolves.
‘’I just found that I am pregnant and my mate hates me.’’ I reveal everything in one breath and did not have the courage to look at their expression. My eyes remain on the neighboring car through the window, but clouded with some past memories.
I did not want to see my best friends’ pity for my situation.
‘’.....’’
‘’.....’’
‘’Wait, Wait, Wait....’’ Stephanie tries to laugh at my words as though it was a joke. ‘’Repeat what you said Lena. You’re pregnant and your mate hates you? Logan, honey, I did not hear gibberish right?’
I remain quiet, not answering the question.
‘’Selena Monroe, look me in the eye and tell me you are not joking, sweetie.’’
‘’.....’’
‘’Selena.’’
I let out a sigh, knowing that I have to talk, especially with Stephanie around.
‘’I found my mate two years ago on my birthday, but he hates me.’’ I turn my gaze to my best friends, though avoided their curious eyes, and recite some minor part of that incident. ‘’You two know that I’ve been throwing up for quite a while and suggested I should go to a hospital. Well, I did after our morning class and found out that I’m pregnant with my mate’s child.’’
‘’....Your mate, is he a normal werewolf?’’ Stephanie carefully ask with concern eyes.
‘’He’s an Alpha.’’ I immediately reveal in a dull tone. ‘’You both know that I’m a beta female.’’
‘’......’’
‘’......’’
My gaze remained lowered, feeling the stares of my two best friends. Perhaps they expected more of the story, but I wasn’t ready to tell them yet. I didn’t want to them to blame for a crime I did not commit like my family, Jared and the pack member had done.
‘’Can you...’’
*Beep*
‘’Hey! The light has turned green already!’’ My ears twitch at the man screaming from behind Stephanie’s car.
‘’Oh, shut up.’’ Stephanie growls under her breath as she sits properly on the driver’s seat. This time, I hear the sound of the gear and realized that Stephanie had parked the car on the busy road before the traffic light.
Yup, this was definitely Stephanie Wallace.
‘’We’ll talk when you’re ready to tell us.’’ The car accelerates forward along with her words. ‘’Your mental health and the baby are our main priority.’’
‘’......’’
‘’Just know that I and Logan are here you and the baby, alright? If things get hard, you have the key to our home, don’t you?’’ I sense Stephanie’s glances, probably from rearview mirror and my eyes tear up at her words.
‘’Hm....’’ My voice chokes with sobs, and I wipe my fallen tears with the sleeves of my wool sweater. My ears prick up at a ruffling sound and then, I feel something light on lap.
When I lower my teary gaze, a colored handkerchief entered my sight, and I didn’t need a guess that this was the action of the quiet Logan.
‘’Thank you...’’ I whisper in sobs, appreciating them deeply from my heart. I couldn’t imagine how hard it could have been if I was alone with no one to share my problems with.
By 2:00pm I was already at the pack house. Glances and whispers pour my way as I walked inside and straight to the Alpha’s office. I paid no mind to the attention from the pack members.In the hallway of the office, I cross paths with Simone, whose gaze darkened immediately. His displeasure was written all over his face.‘’Why did you do that to mum, Selena?’’‘’I am not obligated to answer your questions, Beta Monroe.’’ I talk back quite confidently if I say so myself.‘’Mum and Dad have forgiven you, Selena.’’ He still speaks, despite my refusal. ‘’Can’t you put the past behind us and move on? They’ve been heartbroken since Sienna’s death.’’Put the past behind and move on?Don’t make me laugh.‘’I can say the same for you and the pack members, Beta Monroe.’’ I throw back his words. ‘’It seems Sienna wanted you all to forgive me regardless of the truth and lies. However, I want to ask if you all have truly forgiven me?’’‘’......’’‘’Thought so.’’His silence wasn’t a surprise. It w
What?My eyes grew wide at those words.The pack doctor rejected his mate?I didn’t know this. In fact, no one knew about this. There were many assumptions about the pack doctor’s mate. Some say she died from a rogue attack. Others say she died from old age. After all, the pack doctor was one of the oldest werewolves in the werewolf society.Just like Elder Vladimir.I did not expect to hear this as the truth.‘’Back then, human mates were not widely accepted as now.’’ He narrates briefly. ‘’I was quite arrogant to find out my mate was merely a human as the best pack doctor in the werewolf society.’’‘’I wanted to broaden my horizon as a medical doctor and enrolled in a university among the humans. We met there as medical students.’’ He continues, looking deep in his memories. ‘’Long story short, she was very open to my werewolf side, but I rejected her even after we fell in love.’’I listen to his story quietly.‘’The last time I heard of her was about her funeral. She got happily ma
My mother, or should I former mother tears up at my slips up and rushes towards me. Before I could react, she pulls me into her embrace and my body stiffens in response.‘’You’re alive....You’re truly alive....’’ She sobs softly, her shoulders trembling along with her cries. I didn’t know how to react to this unexpected development. As far as I’m concerned, she has always been cold towards me after that incident.How come she was hugging me now? Was my initial assumption wrong? Did my family....at least one of them...ever missed me?‘’Why did you depart from us suddenly, my dear Sienna?’’My body turns rigid at her words, my heart dropping to the pit of my stomach utterly cold. My hand reaching her back also froze in the air.My dear Sienna....Did I mishear that?‘’I am Selena.’’ I correct indifferently.Jared has unconsciously called me Sienna in the past. I have heard more than enough from him and him alone. I did not want to hear more from anyone again.My mother freezes momentari
Breakfast today was quite awkward.Jared slept over, probably because of what I said to him. Although my greedy side wanted to hide Lucian away from him forever, I couldn’t do that.Especially not after I saw how eager Lucian seemed to meet him.However, what I saw this breakfast was far more different from what I expected.Asides the estranged relationship between Jared and I, Lucian, for some reason, acted indifferent and reserved throughout the breakfast. He treated Jared the way one would treat a stranger.Jared also didn’t help the situation. He silently ate without trying to communicate with Lucian. It was very awkward for me to even to speak up and try to deepen the relationship between them.Jared eventually left after breakfast, saying that he would stop by another time. Later on when I asked Lucian the reason for his attitude, he merely pursed his lips silence, not giving a reply.Though I somewhat had an inkling why Lucian acted that way.‘’Lucian, can you get the milk on
‘’You must warn your pack members, Alpha Henderson.’’ I say from the couch as soon as Jared opened the door. I calmly turn my head towards him, meeting his gaze head on without falter.‘’I take it that the head teacher has informed you of what happened between Lucian and those pups?’’‘’......’’ Jared holds my gaze for a moment before walking inside and closing the door.‘’He’s asleep?’’ He asks first.I nod without a word and stand up, leaving my phone aside on the couch. Before Lucian went to bed, his tears lasted for quite a while. He had even dozed off in my arms, but I had no choice but to force him awake to wash him up and have him eat dinner.‘’Yes, he is.’’ I walk up to him, putting a reasonable distance between us, and faced him. ‘’Has the head teacher informed you of what happened today, Alpha Henderson?’’‘’...He has.’’‘’What are your thoughts on this?’’ I ask, intentionally testing him. Even if I instinctively knew the outcome of this question, I still held a bit of hope.
Silence followed after my words as no one seemed to have expected the name of elder council to be suddenly get involve.‘’M-Miss Selena....’’‘’If you cannot give me a proper explanation, head teacher, then I will direct my question to the homeroom teacher.’’ I ignore the head teacher and stared sharply at the home teacher who has yet to speak up from the beginning.‘’This...’’ The homeroom teacher appeared to be startled from my attention and glance carefully at the head teacher. However, I wasn’t going to give her the chance to communicate with the head teacher.‘’I want to know the cause of the fight, Miss Evelyn.’’ I demand firmly, call out her name. ‘’As their teacher, you should have been aware of the cause or am I wrong?’’‘’W-Well....’’ She stutters nervously, avoiding my gaze.‘’It will do you best to say the truth as I will be repeat your words exactly to the elder council.’’‘’That...M-Miss Selena....’’I wait patiently for the homeroom teacher to reveal what had gone wrong
