All Chapters of Rejected by the Beta, Craved by the Alpha: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

"So my curves aren't feminine enough?" From here, I could clearly see my body shape on the mirror. " That's not what I'm talking about." She was dragging this matter. " She's just worried your temper might not let you get a mate." "But I don't want a mate." I let out for the umpteenth time tonight. " I don't want a mate! Is that so hard to believe? I don't believe in it." "I do." Nita's voice was barely a whisper. " And if I'm lucky enough, I might get one tonight." I glanced at my cousin. With her bent low, she tucked behind a stray loc of blonde hair behind her jewel studded ear. "If I'm lucky enough to get Beta Eric." The desire in her eyes was wild. Not wild with sexual desries but something more sweet and endearing. " Oh boy, that would be something." "If Eric gets you, he'd be the lucky one." I found myself saying. I took both her hands in mine and gave her a smile." You're kind and beautiful, caring and a total sweetheart. You desrvr every good thing the world has to of

I'm listening." "I don't know for sure." She was stalling. " But I guess it's along the lines of being submissive, sweet and…." "So basically following your mate's orders then?" "Not exactly…" "This is what I hate about the ceremony." My voice was going an octave higher, just like my blood was beginning to boil. " They expect us, just because we're females and hand picked, to follow whatever our damn mate says?" " Bailey." Nita glanced sideways. " People are staring." And turns out, they were. Faces stared back at me with disgust and misbelief etched on their faces. Murmurs began to ripple and I cursed inside. I didn't want to be here. The last thing I needed was creating a scene. Taking calm breaths to cool down, I turned back to Nita, a small smile on my face. " I'm sorry." I sighed. " I just got out of control." "It's okay. Do you think your mum and dad would have arrived yet?" I was grateful for the change in topic. Seeing that it was as good as their ceremony as it was

"The glass from the mug." She looked up at my statement. " Gather them around." Looking helplessly confused, she did as she was told, gathering the broken pieces of the hug into a tiny heap. "Good." I eyed the first food tray. It had everything a good dinner should comprise of; light but also tasty. "Because you wasted my evening coffee, the consequences will be dire. But because you're somewhat smart, I'll opt for something lesser then." "Anything your highness wishes." It was a lie. If she had the opportunity she wouldn't be in here right now. But she was trapped like a mouse. "Anything." "Press your palm over the broken pieces." The shocked look on her face was worth it. " Come on. I don't have all day." "But sire." Her eyes were tearing up, salty liquid cascading down her red cheeks. " Please. I'll make you a new cup of coffee. Immediately." " That won't be needed, for now." I picked an apple from the tray and bit into it. "Come on, hurry up." "Harder." My voice was icy. S

I knew I was staring and I knew it was wrong and I should quit it very soon, but I just couldn't bring myself to do so. I kept my eyes peeled on the man just a few feet away from me, my mind reeling with a million and one emotions. What the hell was happening here? How was this even possible? In all of my five years after that day, I'd never imagined I would see Adam again. Yes, he haunted my thoughts and I cried for weeks on end, but I never thought I would bump into him again, and at the most random place at that too. "Mia." Someone's voice cut through my thoughts and I flinched. I didn't know which hurt more; the fact that he wasn't even looking in my direction or the fact that he didn't even recognize me anymore. " My coffee. Stat." You literally dyed your blonde hair ginger and changed your name, my subconscious screamed in my ears but I wasn't listening. How could I exactly? "Yes sir." The receptionist bobbed her head up and down before scurrying behind her chair. I watche

Five years later If someone had told me the life I had now would be totally different from the one I'd worked my butt off for, right from when I was little, would be a completely different story to the life I was living now, I would not doubt, yell to the person in the loudest voice that I could muster that he was high on crack. But right now, as I shielded myself from the drizzle that threatened to drench even the deepest part of my soul, I wasn't even sure who was high on crack anymore. I took in a huge mouthful of air before crossing the busy road like the very action would help out at all. Like that wasn't enough, yucky rainwater stained the edges of my skirt as a car sped by, dividing the mini red sea along with it. A tall skyscraper towered over me after I'd crossed over to the other side. The sign was too high up for me to see, but I knew where I was. I wouldn't be able to forget it even if I tried. A small ding from the revolving door brought me back to earth. I blinked bac
