Reject me!

Aurelia

I winced in pain as I felt a sting of pain in my head. I woke up from my sleep with a heavy face, my eyes were swollen and red. Lying on the bed for a while, I was able to recover. I looked around with a confused and weak look on my face as I found myself in a completely different room. How did I get here? I asked myself, looking around the room which was well furnished and decorated. I smiled gently as I sniffed the sweet fragrance of the room. 

I groaned out in frustration as I racked my brain, trying to recollect how I ended up here. The last thing I remember before I passed out was that I was locked in a dungeon— where I was tortured almost to them. My body is still aching in pain. But how did I get here? I asked myself but I couldn't get an answer to it. 

I feel a pang of pain hit my head each time I try to recollect who could have brought me here. I know I don't have any witched genes in me that I would use to teleport from the dungeon to here. 

I have to get out of here as soon as possible. This room must belong to a very important person in this pack. The bed is so soft and foamy that I felt it was paradise while sleeping on it. 

I tried to stand up from the bed, but I groaned out in pain instead as I couldn't move a limb. I yelped out in pain with my eyes tightly closed. It was like a joint of my bone was dislocated. The feeling was severe. He's the reason why I'm feeling severe pain. I hate him. 

I adjusted myself on the bed as I felt a dominant and possessive presence and auras in the room. I picked up the scent and recognized it to be that of someone familiar. It was the presence of someone I hate and wish he doesn't exist. I hate him for the fact that he sent his guards to torture me like destroying my father pack, and killing my father wasn't enough for him. 

"Thank goddess that you're awake,"he said with a sigh of relief— like he has been worried about me. He has a glimpse of worries and concern on his face. 

"Take this and use it. You'll be fine,"he said with a cold voice as he stretched a pill which I had no doubt that it's a painkiller. I glared at him with a confused look on my face. Who is he? He asked the guards to torture me earlier, and now he's treating me again. 

"Keep it to yourself. I never asked for your help,"he looked at me with a shocked expression even though he didn't make it obvious. 

"Is it a sin to care for one's mate?"he asked, and I glared at him angrily, wishing I could strangle him to death. I wonder why he's pretending that he wasn't the one that gave them the order to torture me. I'm very sure that the guards wouldn't take an action without the order of the Alpha. 

"It's a sin especially when you're pretending,"I muttered. He arched a brow at me. I know he's pretending not to know what I'm saying. 

"Acting like you isn't the reason why I'm beaten by your so-called guard,"I scoffed, and he looked at me in an instant. I watched as he stared at me with a confused look. 

"What… what are… saying?"he shuttered in his words like he was shocked or something. I know he's pretending. He's just trying to come up with a lie. But should he lie? He doesn't care about me. I'm the daughter of the man who killed his parents and destroyed their pack so it's not a surprise he despises me. I wonder why he's acting so differently to me today. 

"Why are you helping me? I thought I'm the daughter of the man who killed your parents. It's so foolish for you to think of helping me," I mocked him. I smiled gently as I watched his expression which suddenly changed. His cool and handsome face looks more cold and terrifying. 

"Keep shut,"he yelled out angrily as he hit his hand on the wall. I gulped down into nothing as my eyes met with his deadly look. 

"You can also kill me just as you did with my father. It would be better than suffering in this your fucking park,"he was reluctant. Who would want to kill his lifetime fated mate?

"Better still, reject me as your mate. I would be glad to accept your rejection, to cut ties with you, same with our mating bond,"I said, and he gasped out in shock. 

"What… what… do you say?"he asked, even though he was stammering. 

"I want you to reject me as your mate,"I said, hoping he would accept my demand since he despised me for being the daughter of a murderer. 

I looked at him, somehow hoping he declines. I don't know why but it was like I didn't want him to reject me deep down. It was like I had something for him. I think I've feelings for him though I can't name the feeling yet, but it's a feeling I've never had for someone else. Maybe because he's my mate. 

"I'm waiting for your rejection,"I said, and he scoffed. 

"That can't happen,"he said, and I looked at him with a confused look and an angry look. 

"As much as I hate and despise you, I can't reject you because you're my fated and destined mate who I've been searching for years,"he said, and I looked at him with a sad look. I don't know why but I somehow felt sad when I heard the statement from his mouth that he hates me. He won't reject me because I'm his mate. Does that mean if I wasn't his mate he would have killed me? I asked myself even though I already had the answer to it. 

What was I expecting? Should I expect him to hug the daughter of the man that killed his parents and destroyed their pack? But since I'm his mate. I somehow think I've a chance with him. Who knows he might still fall for me. 

Though I didn't want him to reject me which he didn't, I'm still persistent and adamant for him to reject me. Even if he accepted me as his mate, his pack members wouldn't accept me as their Luna but rather the daughter of a murderer. I hate my father for staining shame on my name. 

"Why can't you just reject me?"I groaned out with a frustrated look on my face, and he shook his head with a sigh. 

"Do you hate me so much that you want to reject me?"he said, and I nodded my head quickly. 

"Yes I do, that's why I want you to reject me,"I said. 

"I can't and I won't reject you,"he said firmly which got me angry. 

"If you don't reject me then I will,"I said. 

"You don't have to go…"I interrupted him, stopping his statement abruptly. 

"I, Aurelia Smith, reject Damon Wilson as his mate,"I said with my voice etched with determination. I'm really serious right now. 

"So… what do you want me to do?"he asked as he glared at me with a funny look. 

"Since you can't reject me. I want you to accept the rejection,"she said, and I scoffed. 

"You're indeed funny. So you think I would accept your rejection. Then you must be dreaming,"he said with a chuckle. His expression was supposed to make me angry, but his soft tone of chuckle softened my heart even though he was making a joke of me. 

I looked up, and my eyes landed on pink lips which enchanted me, making me feel the crazy urge to kiss it. I trailed my eyes down to his perfect abs which were reflecting under his shirt. He was looking so hot and handsome. Why am I just noticing his handsomeness? I asked myself but I couldn't get an answer to it. Maybe because I'm blinded with anger. 

"What are you looking at?"he asked as he noticed my eyes which were fixed at his abs and broad chest. I looked away, blinking my eyes in embarrassment. 

"It's nothing,"I muttered with a sigh. 

"Just reject me and let's…"I stopped midway against my will as he placed his finger in my mouth. He brought out a syringe from his pocket, forced it into my skin pressing the content into my veins. 

"That would make you feel better since you refuse to use the painkiller,"he said as he caressed my arm to ease the pain itching me. 

"I…"I couldn't complete my statement when he walked out of his room. I glared at the door which slammed shut with a loud bang. 

I groaned out with a weak and frustrated look on my face as the door pulled open with a creak sound. I glared at the two maids who walked into the Alpha room with a tray of food in their hand. 

"Good day ma'am…"

"What do you want?"I asked, ignoring their greetings. 

"The Alpha asked us to deliver this food to you,"one of the maids said as she dropped it on the wooden table. 

"Take the food back to the Alpha that I don't want. That I hate him,"I said which made the maids gasp out in shock. 

"Now!"I yelled, and almost immediately they scampered away in fear. 

I slumped hard on the bed with my head spinning. My eyes feel dizzy and tipsy. It was like the world was about to experience an earthquake. I don't need to be told that it's the effect of the syringe the Alpha forced into my veins. 

"I hate you, Damon,"I muttered, and fell into a state of unconsciousness, even without locking the door. It was left open.
