I kicked my bare paws on the ground of the forest, running so swiftly. This pain was so unbearable. Rejecting me was painful but marking her in front of me made me loose my senses. I didn’t even know where my wolf was taking me. I just wanted to go away from the hurt. But, as I went further, it even hurt the more.
My wolf halted directly at the front of something ahead. It was a water; somewhere I had never seen before since birth. I had never come out and went this far. Guess rejection did so many things. My paws walked forward, looking inside the water. A white wolf reflected back to me. Through the water, I noticed the change in the color of my eyes.
They were reddish.
Red signified a wolf’s anger and I had it now because I was angry with my mate. I was angry with the world I lived in for misunderstanding me.
My wolf howled loudly with so much pain. I felt so damn hurt at the rejection of Beta Devin. He didn’t even give his mate a chance to explain herself. Instead, he rejected me and even went ahead marking the Queen Bee of our pack in front of me.
Cursed, I felt so cursed.
Of all people, why did it have to be me?
A sudden flatter sound from the water caught my attention. I watched as something moved on the surface to my direction. I saw a tail spring out and I let out a howl. Out of fear, I shifted back to human form and hid behind a tree.
I peeked to see what it was. I didn’t see anything there. I looked around the water only to sight the tale flapping again. I immediately picked a stick in reflex.
Coming out from behind the tree, I directed the stick towards the water.
“Who are you? Show yourself,” I said to the unknown person. My gaze directed up as a girl came out of the water. She was angelic looking and very beautiful. She also looked about 17 years old.
II was about to ask her what she was doing in when I noticed the lower part of her body.
Indeed, she had a fish's tail.
She was a mermaid!
“H-How i-is this possible? Mermaids don’t exist…” I said to myself but she heard me.
“Off course we do, we don’t just come to the surface for the fear of what humans would do.” She said, happily.
“W-What is your name? I'm Celeste.” I told her, trying to smile even after everything that happened earlier. She looked at me surprisingly before replying.
“You’re different from the rest up. Thanks for being so friendly to me,” She said.
“You’re welcome, and your name?” I asked her.
“I’m Maliah.” She said, flapping her tail forward to meet up with me. I sat beside a piece of rock, just beside her.
“It’s nice meeting you, Maliah.” I told her, staring at her in amazement. I couldn’t still believe my eyes.
“You too, Celeste. May I ask you something?” she asked.
“Off course, you can.” I replied her. My entire body was heated and becoming really dizzy.
“Why were you crying in your wolf form?” Maliah asked me.
“I got rejected by my mate.” I said, looking down.
“That really sucks! He's such a loser.” Maliah said.
“Wait, you know about werewolves rejection?” I asked, arching a brow at her in confusion.
“Yes, I do. There are legendary books back in my kingdom about you all. I've always fascinated the whole mating stuff,” she said, dreamily. When she noticed that I wasn’t smiling, I heard her mutter an 'oops' sound.
“I’m sorry your mate rejected you, Celeste. May I ask why he did?” she asked, looking sorry for me.
I immediately narrated the whole incident to her. And, of how they thought I killed my father and how I was denounced as an Omega. I told her how I was bullied in the pack. Next, how my mate rejected me and marked the Queen Bee directly in front of me.
Then I began crying again, unable to keep the pain inside. It was all too much for me to bare. I had to let it all out.
I felt her hands come forward to my face, wiping my tears.
“I really think you shouldn’t be wasting your tears on that idiot. He shouldn’t have even been your mate in the first place.” She said.
I smiled weakly at her, knowing she was trying to cheer me up. I in fact felt so miserable at everything.
Moon Goddess help me, will I be able to ever get out of this trauma?
“Thank you, so much.” I appreciated. We talked for a really long while. About our favorite things and places we would love to be. I felt really compatible with Maliah because we shared the same common interests.
It was until the sky began to darken I knew I had to go back home.
“My step mom's going to be so angry.
I have to go back now,” I told her.
“Bye, I hope you come again, friend.” She said, giving me a wink.
“Yeah, bye.”
I immediately shifted into my wolf and started running so fast. I needed to be back at the pack before dawn that was why. And, I was also so hungry.
Mother had banned me from eating anything today because she thought the unwashed laundry was all my fault. I had washed it all and had no idea who added to the clothes.
Thus, the moment I came back home, I went back to my room. My room was less spacious. It was a small cellar with lack of light.
Ever since my dad died, I’ve had to live the miserable life of an Omega.

A/n Ok, here is the new chapter, guys. Honestly, I didn’t expect you guys to like this story. The feedback was really supportive. Thank you so much!!
I couldn't sleep at night.I tossed, turned and rolled over the wooden platform I called a 'bed.' I felt so much hurt below my abdomen. I knew it was my mate sleeping with the Queen Bee and it hurt. There was so much pain and for a moment I thought I'd die. Even though a part of me wanted toEvery single time I tried to fall asleep, it was no use. I could hear his voice in my head. . ."I, Beta Devin hereby reject you, Omega Celeste as my mate." He had said coldly. All because of a wrong misconception. That I killed my own father. I didn't deserve this. Not this...These were my thoughts till the next morning. I didn't remember falling asleep. So, maybe I passed out from the unbearable pain that consumed me.....I felt a bucket of cold water being poured on my body Next, was a stinging slap on my face. I immediately sprung up from my bed to
I could hear muffled sounds. It was whispery; like an untamed clatter, coming from an unknown place. The most amazing thing was I couldn’t recognize the sounds. It wasn’t from the cellar I stayed in.“Is she…the Alpha’s mate??” “Wow… she’s so pretty!” “Quiet! Let’s go out so we won’t wake her up…”“Oh, no. Alpha is coming, let’s leave!”The next thing I heard was the sound of a door opening, with a creaking sound. My eyes immediately opened swiftly out of shuddered open that minute. The first thing that my eyes laid on the moment I opened it was white ceilings. I stared at them confusingly…Where was I?With the Moon Goddess perhaps, because I remember trying to take my life.Slowly, I sat up from the bed, rubbing my eyes to see everything clearly. It was by the time I dropped my hands that I came face-to-face with a handsome
My eyes bolted open the minute I felt someone’s lips on mine. I narrowed my eyes, wondering who it was—only to open my eyes fully, finding that same male that Merida claimed was our second-chance mate. For a moment, I stare into his brown eyes which are warm. He seemed too bright for his own good.I got into my senses when I discovered we’ve been staring at ourselves for a long period of time. I immediately blinked at him in total dismal. But it seemed like he was not having it. My petite hands directed to my lips, focusing on him. He just kissed me! “D-Did y-you just kiss me?” I asked, furrowing my brows at him. I expected him to reply he didn’t. Instead, he lifted me by the collar of my shirt, pulling me up as if I was some kind of lifeless entity.“W-Wh- “I tried to say but he interrupted that instant.“You,” he started off, staring at me so intensely. “Why are you so keen to end your life?” He ask
Patricia had so much to say to me. She had babbled about why I should keep on living and not try ending my life. She even made me promise to her not to. On the verge of tears, I hugged her. My spirits made me feel so alone. I knew deep down; I was just this small girl who had been misunderstood by lots of people. And, I never even bothered to explain myself again because they just never believed anything I said. She left me after a while. The guards watching me informed me of their Alpha’s proposition. He had ordered to see me for some reason. And now, I was on my way to wherever he was located, with two bulky guards at my side. They all made it seem like I was some psycho that needed watching and it irritated me. As we halted in front of the Alpha’s workplace, I saw one of the guard’s pupils dilate, I knew he had just mind linked the Alpha. The next thing I knew we were already enterin
I was taken to a room by the guards this crazy Alpha assigned to me. They kept hovering around me even when I entered the room. The room was an extremely large one. It smelled like candies. Ok, not exactly candies but it was this refreshing scent I perceived. Something woodsy and delicious. It was familiar. Like the same Alpha.My eyes immediately directed to one of the guards. I hesitantly asked him, “Whose room is this?” I didn’t miss the confused expression he gave me. Although he answered, in more of a submissive way… It was as if I was some important person.“This room belongs to our Alpha, Luna. If you need anything, don’t hesitate to call us.” He answered, bowing down. My brows furrowed in confusion. I didn’t understand why he would put me in his room? Back at my pack. I couldn’t even live with my family. How would I be able to live with an Alpha?“The Alpha told me to mention that
I was pissed.In fact, pissed was an understatement. I was so annoyed and angry. I could feel my Merida inside me. She was so hurt at the sight in front of us. The girl with the red hair was kissing our mate, right in front of us. It all reminded me of the scene back at my pack. When Beta Devin marked the Queen bee of my pack directly in front of me.In total disbelief, one of my legs retreated back. That made Alpha Killian look at my direction that instant. The female who had kissed him spared me a glance. I could read the expressions on their faces. They were both surprised I was actually there which was insane. My other leg followed the other, taking a step back, with a hand on my chest.Turning around, I ran through the door I had come in from. Perhaps, my expectations were too high. I shouldn’t have foresaw having a mate. Perhaps, I wasn’t just bound to have a mate. I sho
“Stay here, Celeste. I have something important to do.” Alpha Killian said. My hands reluctantly moved without permission to take a hold of his. But it was too late. He had already gone.Knowing that, I growled alone to the comfort of the room. It felt cold and annoying. There was this sudden need in me. A need to be with Alpha Killian. My body also seemed to be forgetting Beta Devin’s rejection. Even though I could still feel him mating with his girlfriend, it was no longer as painful as before. This definitely had something to do with the fact that I had accepted his rejection.Standing up, I walked to the mirror I noticed in the room. My hands raised the cloth I was wearing which revealed my stomach. I had never got the chance to examine my belly but I was beyond startled by what I saw.There were purple like traces on it which were a little red on my pale and white skin. I couldn’t believe that there was this amount of damaged wounds on my body. Thou
It was like I was lost. I couldn’t even focus on anything part from that beautiful scene that had occurred when I was a little girl.Sounds.That was what I heard for a long while. Not until I realized that they weren’t just sounds. Someone was trying to reach out to me. I immediately spinned back to reality.“Celeste!” I immediately sprung out of my thoughts, looking directly in front of me. An overwhelming expression was written all over her face.“You seemed lost in thought. I was asking what flavor you wanted.” She breathed out. Trying to focus, I opened my mouth to answer her.“Oh, sorry about that. Chocolate I guess.” I replied her. I watched as it was scooped into the cone shaped cup. The moment we purchased it, we left there.I arrived back at the pack with Kate. I showed my gratitude before she left, saying she had another outing with her friends. Thus, the stuffs we had bought were all in my hands.Carrying a whole lot o
