Rejection

Xylah's golden hair fell to her back, her image was ethereal as she slowly descended from the expensive wooden staircase. A faint smile was playing on Xylah's thin face. And when she smelled his unique masculine scent and saw his presence beside her parents, a wide grin she was incapable of hiding broke from her lips. Oh, Moon Goddess! Her Errol, her Mate!

"I, Errol of GoldenPact Country, rejected you, Xylah, as my mate!" Errol declared immediately the happy Xylah had arrived in front of him.

Xylah's face paled and her wide grin froze; her heart skipped a beat, and a wave of overwhelming sadness took over her. Errol! He had told her last night they'd be having the mating ceremony. He had… "No." Her lips parted, and she shook her head slowly and in pain as if to deny it.

Errol took a step toward her, and his tall frame bent slightly to her level. With a disgusted sneer, he said "Do you think we're compatible? Look at you. You're just a weak and ugly useless omega, and you're not worth being my partner. I'd rather be with a strong alpha or beta." He taunted.

"Ahhh!" A searing pain gripped her heart, and Xylah let out a loud, painful roar due to the rejection.

Her wolf, Rylee, immediately took control after being rejected. Rylee was severely hurt by Errol and his fake promises, only to be let down like a rollercoaster.

"Take me away from here, please." Xylah has lost the power to think or do anything, so she can only beg Rylee to take over and take her away from her family's deriding look.

Rylee glared at Errol for the last time but whimpered inwardly in pain at losing her new mate as she left under so many contemptuous gazes.

Xylah pathetically staggered toward her room; she stared at herself in the mirror, and she began crying hard.

Her hand soon began to fling her things, and she bent down, crying to herself. Why? Just Why? She had been rejected by her mom. Her father, stepmother, and sister rejected her. Her mate had also rejected her!

Few Hours Before

"It's the mating festival. It's the mating festival tonight." Xylah hummed and tapped her feet on the floor in excitement. The thought of how she will finally be able to leave the mansion and perhaps meet the mate the goddess has bestowed on her made her ecstatic, giving her a rare happy mood.

Even when her stepmother pushed her out of the way earlier and said. "Out of my way, you useless bitch." Hadn't gotten a sad reaction out of her.

"Omega." Suddenly, Corinne called with a ridiculing and disgusted voice, as if the biggest crime was to be born an Omega, but Xylah had no say. After all, her birth had been the one to destroy their perfect family.

"Yes madam." Xayla bowed her head like the servant normally does. But it's not about being the servant that had interested them, they liked to show her that an omega like her is just a useless servant when it comes to an Alpha like them and she should know her place.

"Good. Know your position. Get Eulla the laptop." She said, which made Xayla's lip part, but upon realizing that she wasn't in the position to refute, Xayla kept her mouth shut and bent slightly to pick up the expensive laptop, which was the latest release from Damon, from the floor and hand it over to Eulla. "Get me a lotus seed omega," Eulla declared while scrolling through her mobile device—an expensive one also.

By the time Xayla came back, Eulla was already live on the social network. Eulla, as an alpha and the prime minister's daughter, is one of the most followed persons on GoldenPact social media, and she has many fans, gifters, and wooers.

"Look who's here, my sweet younger sister is showing me love." Xylah heard Errol brag as she came from the kitchen. "Thank you, sis." Eulla appreciated it sweetly and made a cute expression when Xylah placed it in front of her.

Eulla had purposely moved the camera and allowed all of Xylah's actions to appear on the screen.

"How beautiful!" Eulla said and held Xayla's white hands, which were still soft and smooth despite all the work, and it made her grit her teeth due to unhappiness and jealousy. Despite all the evil thoughts that were surfacing in her mind, Eulla continued to smile sweetly, which made it feel as if they were the closest siblings.

Xylah lowered her head, and her eyes quickly looked at the screen, and then she saw the comments. It's still a familiar condemnation. They had begun to condemn her again even when she did nothing.

Ugly omega.

Freak.

Family Destroyer.

Useless Omega.

Why are you letting that poop stand beside you, angel?

Oh, I'll be so disgusted by just staying beside that omega

Eulla you're so kind.

Eulla held Xylah patiently, and even though she was smiling sweetly, her fingers were digging into Xylah's skin, which made her hiss in pain. "Don't call my sister names? It's not her fault…"

Eulla's sharp finger suddenly cut through Xylah's skin, and it made Xylah push Eulla's hand away in reflex. "Ouch!" Xylah hissed in pain and quickly moved away from the camera, holding her hand. She glares at Eulla, but Eulla smiles at her. "Bye, sis. Love you too." She said which almost made Xylah barf in disgust. Eulla is a disgusting and cruel bitch! Xylah thought. Her hand began to heal—one of the perks of being a werewolf.

Xylah's eyes had unconsciously drifted toward the clock. It was 7:27 pm, and by 11:30 pm, the family would be at the palace for the annual mating season, where everyone from all over would come over in search of their mate. Hopefully, she would see her mate also; she had just turned sixteen last week, the official age to meet your mate.
