THE REJECTED LUNA

“What nonsense are you spouting, Tinsely?” Alpha David grimaces at her, hating her for causing a scene in the board meeting.

Tinsely sprang to her feet as if the chair was on her fire, some of the investors were already leaving one after the other until the last person was gone.

“This design in Amelia’s hand is mine, it ain't even logical that she suddenly pop out of the blue and said she made a new design. It's obvious she stole my design which I had toiled with my sweat all night long,” Tinsely gritted her teeth.

“I can testify to it that...” She wanted to elucidate her point just to prove herself right.

However, she quickly paused when she saw the deadly smug on David’s face which expresses that he was pissed off.

It indicated to her that her mate will never believe whatever she will say to him, and he wasn't even ready to listen to her.

Amelia at this point decides to make use of David’s ignorance towards Tinsely, and said to him with a fake gloomy expression.

“Listen to me baby, you have to believe me. I swear by the moon goddess that I didn't steal Tinsely’s design. I can n-never stoop that l-low and y-you know t-that,” she shed crocodile tears.

Everyone knew that Amelia’s cries are Alpha David’s frailty and weakness, undoubtedly he will accept her words since she already shed those her unreal tears to him.

“Women!” Taylor scoffed, he knew Amelia to be a mischievous person but his best friend is blinded to see that sickening attribute in her.

A cold and intense silence circulates the atmosphere in the board room, it was suffocating.

Tinsely faceplamed her face, sighing deeply into her palms as she pushed to calm herself down.

Then, she fixed her gaze intently on her mate, still hoping he’d believe her and shun Amelia for her thievery behavior.

“Let me see the design,” Alpha David finally uttered and Amelia passed off the sketchpad to him.

“Here, Alpha,” She sweetly called him, then leaning onto his burly shoulder seductively.

Taylor who sat in silence knew Amelia like the back of his palm, he knows she was the one who stole the sketch pad even a blind man could smell that.

Amelia can never be capable to make impressive designs like Tinsely, not even in her dreams. But it's pity that his best friend will prefer to believe Amelia over his mate.

Meanwhile, Alpha David was fascinated by the design, roaming his fingers on the texture as he imagined the ample amount of profit he would make when he launches the design.

He will get back his fame from Alpha Lorenzo, and that's a promise he's about to keep.

Nevertheless, back to the case of the two women in the office with him. Amelia happens to be the one who presented the design to the board meeting so it was alleged that she was the one who created it.

After all he made her go to fashion school, so it was sensible that she took her time to improve herself.

“Amelia, this is incredible!” Alpha David praise her with pecks on her cheek.

Amelia squealed in joy, dancing in excitement that he acknowledged her words.

In your face Tinsely!

Tinsely breathing hitched, she immediately broke down as her legs went jelly. Her head was pounding rebelliously as if someone was hitting her head.

She was about to go limp on the floor but Taylor dashingly stood from his seat, his hand curled around her waist and he restrained her from falling.

“Luna!” He panicked.

Alpha David frowned at them, “What's all that drama for, huh?” He sneered.

Tinsely eyes welled up as she began to cry, she was hurt and angered, her heart was crashed and she felt broken as she found it difficult to even breathe.

“You ungrateful scumbag, after everything I have done for you!” Tinsely busted out of agitation and Alpha David was shocked.

“After all the struggles, and pains I passed through just to make you happy, is this what I get in return?”

Tinsely was overwhelmed by fury, she was at the breaking point that she didn't know when she raised her hand and slapped the face of her mate.

He deserve it!

“What the the fuck?” Amelia was surprised, and she gasped sharply.

Taylor’s eyes widened.

Simply saying that Alpha David was stunned was an understatement, he was flabbergasted.

Did she just slap him?

“Have you gone insane?!” Furiously he sprang to his feet, fuming in the mouth.

Immediately he made an attempt to attack her, but Taylor quickly obstruct him by standing quickly in front of Tinsely with his hands wide apart.

“Please alpha!” He frantically begged him.

Tinsley wasn't even shaken up, she doesn't care anymore if her mate beat her to a stupor as usual, or maybe call the cops or use the alpha tone on her.

She was just seething in air rage, she have had enough of his nonsense.

“Yes I have gone insane!” She yelled aggressively at him, then tearing up again. “Yes I have gone insane and it's all because of you, David!”

“How dare you bitch slap my alpha, huh?” Amelia poped into the dish as she stormed to Tinsely.

Raising her hand to slap her as an counterattack but Tinsley beat her to it by snappily gripping her hand midway in the air, then she used her other free hand to give Amelia deafening slaps, twice.

“Ah!” Amelia cried, her cheeks stung, and she lost her balance when Tinsely pushed her away.

Alpha David was just watching his mate in front of him with wide eyes as if he's seen a ghost, he was dazed because he knew this wasn't the same Tinsely he knows, what was coming over her?

It was as if she was possessed or something, it was as if someone casted a strong spell on her.

Having enough of her tantrums, he boomed out dastardly, “I alpha David Cooper, reject you Tinsely Keegan as my mate...”

“No alpha!” Taylor quickly interjected, trying to stop him from making a harsh decision.

“...and luna!” Alpha David didn't care as he finalized his words with atom of authority.

He meanly watch Tinsely eyes slip out more tears and he felt a burst of satisfaction jetting through his vein.

He grouse arrogantly, “Tinsely, you are of no use to me any longer, your designs are as equal to Amelia so get lost and never come back!”

It was now that it struck Tinsely’s mind that David had refused to reject her simply because of her rare talent, he wanted her gift and nothing more.

How egocentric and greedy of him to regard her that way.

Amelia was now grinning victorious for successfully accomplishing her goal, and that was to rip Tinsely and David apart.

“I can't wait to be crowned luna of Red moon pack,” She was chuckled gleefully in her mind.

To Alpha David’s astonishment, Tinsely was suddenly laughing as if she was not affected by his rejection.

All eyes on Tinsely as if she has gone mad, she was just laughing and crying at the same time.

Thus, she began to dry out her tears with her hands while giggling in her throat. Then she straighten up herself, dramatically snatching her bag from the table, and she flaunted her black wavy hair.

“Oh David, why did it take you that long to reject me huh?” She asked as if expecting a response from him, “Fuck off man, you disgust me!” She hissed.

Alpha David was taken aback by the tone in her voice, he was expecting her to beg him but it turned out the other way around. What has gotten into her?

“Fuck I feel so much alive right now,” She chuckled with so much gut, rolling her eyes at him and she walked out from the board room.

Tinsely was striding like a warrior who had just won a catastrophic battle, she was intentionally shaking her big butt which Alpha David just realize she has and he swallowed hard down his throat.

Wait, why is he suddenly feeling guilty and regretful?

Whatever.

Certainly the Tinsely he knew for five years will still come back and beg him for sure. He can bet his last penny on it.

She's only trying to get his attention, but he guarantee her that she won't have it.

Taylor on the other hand was discreetly eyeing his best friend with inner annoyance, now placing his hands on his midriff.

“How could he be so foolish by rejecting the luna, huh,” He snorted.

“I just hope he doesn't regret his actions later.”
