The Rejected Princess Elodie

CHAPTER ONEFrom the solitude of my room, I could hear the festivities below—a celebration that seemed to shake the very walls of the house—my sister's 18 years celebration. The scent of freshly cut flowers wafted through the air, mingling with the laughter that rose like a tide from the guests. The vibrant life of the party was a world apart from my own shadowed existence.I stepped away from the window, catching my reflection in the tall mirror. The blue gown I had chosen hung like a whisper of silk against my skin, its rich hue shimmering under the soft light. Yet it wasn't the gown that held my gaze—it was the mask that covered the scar that twisted across my cheek, a cruel mark that had stolen my place in this family.Beneath the mask, the scar itched, as if it resented its confinement. My fingers trembled as they traced the mask’s edges, feeling the roughness of the scar underneath. The mask was a barrier, both physical and emotional, that I had worn for so long it felt like a p

WILLIAMSWhat is she doing here?I asked myself as her scent was too much for me to withstand, and I was inhaling them all to myself trying to force it out of me but all to no avail.'She is here, our mate, I can smell her.' Ian, my wolf jumped happily as the scent kept getting stronger and too intense for us.‘She is no longer our mate remember? We rejected her.’ I reminded him if he had forgotten, he better not cause it was the truth.‘You rejected her and not me, you did the rejection and I did not accept it.’ He growled so loudly to my ears that I pushed him far back out of my mind and looked at them.She stood right there at the corner of the living room with her eyes bugged out as she looked at me, shock filled those huge eyeballs of hers.There is something so different about her, maybe it was the way that there was no mask on her face and she looks exceptionally beautiful that I felt my feet dragging me towards her. “Liam, come see your bride and her family that I have been t

“What do you mean you don't want her to be trained as a Luna, she is the Luna of this pack and should be trained as one.” I could hear that voice I heard last night saying to someone as I stood up from the floor that I had slept.I spent my first day as a new wife and Luna sleeping on a cold floor because I knew that comfort wasn't for me and I couldn't get it.“My father arranged our union, I have no interest in her and never will.” He declared so harshly that I felt my chest break more into pieces.Can there ever be a time that I will have rest? That I will be at peace, and he doesn't keep breaking my heart this way?Standing from the floor I walked to the bed and stripped off my dress as I walked to the bathroom and made sure to clean myself up nicely.I looked at the scar on my face and ran my hand through it. There was no way I could carry that scar outside, so I had to call her to come cover them up.After she was done with the makeover and covering my scar, I walked out of my r

I can’t believe it but despite myself, I am having so much fun.There was always something for her to point out to me, this pack was filled with so many interesting things, and the way their eyes shone a little every time she introduced me to someone.It was something I was not expecting, I thought I was going to have that same hatred that I always saw in the eyes of my pack members, the people that I had called family.“Where is this place??” Looking at her I was confused as we stood on something that looked like a hill and we were overseeing so many groups of people as they engaged in combat.With my sharp nose, I could inhale the sweat that came off their body, the laughter that rolled off their tongue like it was the easiest thing to do right now.“Very soon you will come here every day for training.” Replying to my earlier question she smiled.I blinked at her, confused by the words she had just uttered.Come here to train??My eyes scanned the crowd again and that was when I not

I wasn’t the only one shocked by my sister’s sudden appearance. What was she doing here? Not like it’s unlike her not to come out unexpectedly to a place, that was Elsa for you.The room stilled as she made her entrance, utterly unfazed by the weight of the gazes that followed her. Elsa bounded in like she owned the place, her eyes scanning the hall before locking onto me. A wide grin spread across her face as she hurried over, her movements brimming with exaggerated enthusiasm. Because there is absolutely no way she can be that excited to see me, that isn’t the way she is.My back stiffened instinctively. Elsa never brought good news—only chaos.“Oh my, how much I’ve missed my big sister!” she exclaimed, her voice honeyed with fake warmth. Her eyes sparkled, but there was no joy behind them, only calculation, the way she always looked when she was up to something. We stood there, locked in an unbearable silence as the entire hall watched. My pulse raced, my mind scrambling for an a
