My suitcase dropped to the floor. My eyes stared wide-open at the Alpha. Apparently, my mate. My heart is doing somersaults in my chest at the revelation. My wolves' shock crashed through me, colliding with my own as I openly stared right at him.

His gaze flicked down to the suitcase that had slipped from my hand. His brows furrowed, angrily I might add.

"What is the meaning of this?" His tone is demanding. I gulped and couldn't stop my voice from trembling.

"M-My... My suitcase, Alpha." I stuttered, bending over before I picked it up. I gripped it in my trembling hand.

When I stood upright I jumped as he is suddenly standing inches away from me.

"I could see that. But I'm asking you why you are carrying that suitcase?" he asked, looking skeptical.

I swallowed.

"I-I just turned 18, and I just thought..."

He raised a brow at me. I continued anyway.

"That you were going to ask me about my decision on whether or not I coose to leave the pack." He stood silently. When he said no words I mustered up all my courage and said,

"Well, I choose to leave and turn rogue, Alpha."

I stated, matter-of-factly.

He blinked, stared at me for four seconds straight, then chuckled. It was the darkness in his expression that made my blood run cold in my veins as I stood frozen in my stance.

"You think I would ask you that?" he laughed, sounding almost in disbelief.

"W-Why not?" my voice trembled.

Suddenly, he stopped laughing before his eyes flashed up to mine. His expression dead serious.

He then took a step towards me, making ne take the same steps back until I felt my the back of my knees hit the bed in the middle of the room.

"What makes you think you can leave, my little mate?" he asked, but it came out more of a statement.

My eyes grew wide as I stared back at him, his expression growing darker. Suddenly, I have a bad feeling about this just as how Annika felt before we came in here with hope and a suitcase. My face paled as I looked at him.

"What?"

"Do you really think I would let you walk out of here freely after what you did?" He spat with a deep hatred to his voice. It's as if his hatred for me is ingrained in his very soul. Almost as if he had been watering it day by day until the right time comes to harvest it, and that time is now.

"I-I don't understand..."

I really don't. He never acted like this towards me before. In fact, he almost acted like I never existed and that I was just part of the air he breathed. He wouldn't even look at me in the past, so what changed?

He snatched my suitcase from my hand and threw it across the room, making me gasp and almost yell at him. But I slapped my palm over my mouth before I could say anything.

"Let me put it simply in a way you could understand. Apparently, the goddess was dumb enough to pick you as my mate, my parents' murderer." he seethed and that made me snap back.

"I am not a murderer." I defended, unsure why I felt the need to defend myself when all the orher pack members called me the same name, yet I never reacted in the way I am now.

"They protected me."

"They should have left you to die!" he roared.

The shock of his words left me dumbfounded, stunned. I went silent for a couple of moments, hanging my head in inevitable shame and guilt I could not hide anymore as tears threatened to escape my lids. Until I felt his hand tug my hair back painfully. I scream as pain ripped across my scalp as he tugged hard, forcing me to bend backward and stare wide-eyed up into his eyes.

"Now your life belongs to me. You, my mate, will serve me until your last breath. From now on, you are my lust slave." he announced, as if dictating my fate and setting it in stone.

"But first things first," he paused making me look at him.

"I, Alpha Hunter Lowe, of the Dark Moon Pack, reject you, Dannika Solari, as my mate and luna."

Instinctively, I let out a loud scream as the pain of his rejection ripped through me wave after wave. I felt the bond sever, and it felt like losing a part of my soul that will forever leave a hole in my chest.

My wolf, Annika, growled threateningly inside me. But I know she couldn't do anything. She was bound from me after my first shift. Kanya, on the other hand, whimpered softly as she retreated to her own space. So, the only thing they were able to do was watch as Alpha Hunter handled me and pinned me on the bed before he began to do what he wanted with my body. It was my first time. I didn't know it to be so painful. I never dreamed of it this way. I always hoped my mate would love me, cherish me, not this.

"Rejecting you would not weaken my wolf. As long as you remain my sex slave, you can still be of use to me. Don't even think you can be luna, you are not worthy of the title." I remember him whisper to me while he thrust in and out painfully.

I couldn't imagine pain any worse than your own mate making love to you while your body is crippling and reacting to his rejection.

Hours later, I was thrown back into my room in the attic. He ordered his warriors right after he declared my new position in the pack through the whole pack link. I heard every cackle, snort, and whisper as he revealed my connection to him with a severed mate bond. Rejected, Naked, covered heavily in dark bruises. Blood leaked out of my womanhood, and I didn't move an inch from the floor. Tears ran down my face nonstop, until my body gave in from exhaustion and I drifted off into a painful sleep.
