DARLA
"Will you come with me for a second?" I heard my mate voice suddenly boom in.
My heart panted heavily, what does he want to say?
I could only nod my head, and I could see the amount of relief that flushed through his face. I walked forward, He led the way. we walked towards the same lake where we met in the morning."Why did you bring me here?" I asked slowly, my eye lids fluttering in confusion.
"I found a way." He said, gazing at me, his voice a little cold.I frowned.
"What way?"
"You can reject me if you want." Bluntly, he said.
What?! what was that all about? reject?
I felt a tug on my chest, something squeezed my chest and I couldn't explain what it actually was.
"I don't want to reject you." I gazed elsewhere.
He looked surprised at my answer but it was replaced with a frown, I actually don't want to reject him.
"I know we are forceful mates of each other. And we are also each other's second mate. I know the pain of rejection. I don't want you to go through it. But if you want to reject me then I won't stop you." He said.
Did he actually want me to reject him?
"No!!" I couldn't bear another rejection.
"Don't compare me to your former mate, please." He looked stressed out.
Realization dawned onto me as my deep eyes widened.
"I'm sorry. I… I didn't realize that." I quickly added.
"It's ok. But will you give us a chance? To work this whole thing out?" He asked, his deep eyes boring into mine, hidden emotions.
Hidden agenda.
"I will."
I could only offer him a genuine smile.
"So will you tell me about yourself?" He asked nervously biting his lower lip. Why in the heck will he even ask that?
He nodded his head, noticing him sit on the plain grass and face me, I couldn't help but do the same.
"I'm the Alpha's daughter. His first born basically. My mom died of childbirth." I paused noticing his reaction.
However, he just stared blankly.
"My dad then brought home Laura as his second mate. But I know Laura wasn't his mate. She just doesn't seem like one. They had an affair. As my mom was gone, their path was clear. They mated each other and Ashlyn was born."
He only hummed.
"My wolf is weak. So I was basically removed from the heirline. And Ashlyn is the first in the heirline. For that very reason, I was told to exchange mates." I said and I could tell his mate was angry.
"What about you?" I asked.
He was startled and that was for sure, his eyes widening a little, maybe he wasn't expecting that kind of question.
"I was kicked out from my previous pack. After that I was attacked by some rogues when you saved me and found me wounded. There isn't much about me. My parents are no more in the world. I had a sister who found her mate when I was kicked out. I couldn't endanger her life." He brushed his hair.
I stared at him for a long time.
"How old are you, Ken?"
"25, what about you?"
"20!"
My eyes widened, he is 5 years older than me.
"What do you hate the most?" His question made me think for a moment.
Why would he ask such sudden question?
I went quiet, and I could see a guilty expression on his face.
"I hate deception." I finally said.
He averted his eyes.
"We should go back. We can do this some other day." He quickly added.
I could only say 'ok'. We started walking towards the pack house. He was walking a bit slower than I so that he could see how the pack members behaved with her, so I thought.
"Look, who is coming?"
Ashlyn's annoying voice echoed in my ears, as usual, I tried to ignore.
"Two totally useless mates. Darla, how does it feel to be marked by a rogue?" Ashlyn walked towards us.
His wolf surfaced ready to tear apart the person who is insulting his mate.
"Ashlyn, at least I'm not snatching away someone else's mates. Good luck with my used one." I squinted my eyes, embarrassment flushing through her.
Ashlyn's eyes were red from anger. She was about to slap me when Ken stepped forward and held her wrist in my hand tightly.
I was touched, for the first time, someone actually stood up from me.
"Don't you dare to hurt my mate in my presence." He barked angrily, He looked different from the time in the garden, he was fierce, his eyes Turning hostile.
Ashlyn snapped, taking in the tears.
"Y-you are hurting me." Her voice came out in a whisper, however his hands tightened more.
"Wait and watch, you will pay for this." She said, after he freed his hands, her eyes moistened with tears, but she kept them all in.
Ashlyn stormed away from there. Ken turned around and looked at the other people. They scattered away seeing his hard glare.
Good!
"You shouldn't have done this."
He frowned at my words.
"Huh?"
I sighed.
"Now, she will complain to dad and Goddess knows what he will do." My eyes moistened a little.
He shrugged his shoulders. Noticing his glare on me.
"What do you want?" I hazily asked.
"Will you cook something for me? I'm really hungry at this moment." He smiled.
I could only nod.
"Give me 10 minutes. I'll cook something for you." I smiled.
He nodded at me and I went away. He stood there looking at my disappearing figure when an old man came to him. The old man squinted his eyes at Ken.
"May I help you?" Ken asked, stepping back a little, a hostile expression on his face.
But the old man laughed out loud before saying,
"You are not who you are showing. You will regret this. Regret this."
DARLAI hurriedly went inside and cooked up the quickest meal I could think of. I smiled widely looking at the meal before me.I was slowly adjusting to Ken, I felt a slight tug in my heart remembering Dean, but I quickly shoved at the back of my heart.While grabbing it, I walked down the large hall, looking intently at anyone that passes before me thinking it was Ken, but no one was him.My brows were creased not seeing the person I was looking for. “What kind of feeling am I having for him?” I asked myself inwardly but my mouth turned into a smile thinking my heart could still love someone.As soon as I arrived outside, I saw him, the one stealing my heart already. His mouth was curved into a huge frown, but his eyes spoke something hidden, something I couldn't think of as he saw me from afar.I sighed the moment I our eyes met and walked forward.As soon as I reached him, his eyes were focused on the plate of food in my hands which made me chuckle.Without waiting for a split sec
DARLADean was the first to speak "Look Ashlyn darling, Darla is tugging the shirt of her useless mate to stop being silly. Of course she knows he is silly."Ashlyn chuckled mockingly loud enough for every around to hear "Such useless mates, we are a better combination than you too"My legs wobbled differently and I felt down, but inside me, I didn't want this two to win bullying us. It was like Ashlyn always does to me, but this time it got worse because it got to me. Never have I experienced such words from Dean, it touched me to my heart. I fell blindly for his love, for his care, but then what he paid me after falling for him was shattered love. I was betrayed by my love, the only person I believe in. He took my love for granted and rejected me blindly to my step-sister. Such a world!When they bullied and abused me, Ken stood up for me, it's high time I stood up for him too. "No, I disagree, we are a more better match than you too. We aren't of high positions but we love it that
Her father sees her like a saint, his perfect little daughter but little does he knows she wasn't what he expected."If I can play my cards well, I'll hit my goal before I know it" I said and laughed inwardly.DARLAAs soon as we were far, far away from Dean and Ashlyn, I faced Ken with a stern face and he looked untouched, unworried, and didn't care about what he just did in there."Do you realize what you just did in there? You are literally digging your own pit If you did that to Ashlyn, remember what she's capable of" I warned like a mother trying to save her baby from danger.He rolled his eyes with no ounce of care in the world "So? What can she do?" He scoffed.I was having mixed emotions right now, inwardly, deep inside me, I was praying they shouldn't do anything to Ken for what he just did back there. I wouldn't want anything to happen to the person who cared for me than anyone here."Do you know the consequences of what you just did in there?" I continued.He shook his head
DARLAI was shocked, but still shoved it aside assuming there are other mates in this pack, right?The other continued "I heard his name was Ken or something"NOW ON THE ROGUE'S ALPHA QUEENDARLAI was shocked beyond words, I couldnt believe my eyes, I was utterly dumbfounded.My heart began beating faster than normal and I also didn't know what to do now. My stomach churned but in the bad way. I wanted to break down right there and cried, I didn't even notice when a glass plate near me fell down and broke into pieces. This didn't move me at all but instead moved the girls near me.Out of anger, they left the room for me. I didn't bother calling them back. The only person that I know as family was being banished. Though, I wasn't sure yet, I needed to confirm.Like a mad dog about to get its revenge on the evil doers, I rushed out of the kitchen in mixed emotions of anger, betrayal and sadness.My eyes were widened as I kept peeping through each door trying to see if I could spot Ken

With a frown on my father's face, he walked slowly towards me and out of nowhere, gave me two slaps on my face!! I was shocked beyond words, that my own father could slap me just because of Ashlyn and Dean.Everyone present at the coronation gasped loudly.And it didn't finish there, Ken rushed towards my father and landed three slaps on his face.Everyone gasped loudly enough with murmurs left and right.Even I was shocked beyond words, I had mixed emotions about it, just because of Me, Ken slapped the Alpha not even fearing about the consequences attached to me.The Alpha was also shocked someone could do this to him, a useless rouge.I knelt down immediately pleading on the behalf of Ken, he was about to get banished, and he did another formidable sin.Ken's eyes darkened the moment he saw me kneeling down and he walked towards me dragging me up on one go "Get up and stop being silly Darla"I couldn't get myself to say anything.
