All Chapters of DON'T REJECT ME, ALPHA!: Chapter 21 - Chapter 28

Maya’s POVThe King’s retirement to his private quarters and Athena’s public demotion only pushed the public to vote blindly for her. She was their favorite. Their golden girl. Their fragile phoenix.And me?Only knife-like glares were directed my way. None of them even dared to step into my stall as if I was straight up cursed.Quinn sauntered past, venom dripping from her lips. She smugly remarked, “No one wants you, Maya. Look at you. Idling away like a dumb housewife. The goddess knows which mutt fathered those ugly pups,” she tipped her head to the side towards Carl’s arms.“You – … ” Valerie started, rage flooding her features. I cut off Valerie with a soft squeeze on her shoulder.“No.” I shook my head at her. Quinn did not deserve even our attention, let alone waste words one her.“You are too soft. These piranhas won’t just bite. They will strip you to the bone,” she sighed. “You should do something about this, Maya-aaa-aaaahhhh – mhmmm,” she moaned in delight as I put in a m

Maya’s POVI worked through the night without pause, my hands steady even as exhaustion tried to crawl its way up my spine. Dawn was breaking when I finally removed my gloves, my fingers trembling from overuse. The last patient had been stabilized. My feet screamed for rest, but I remained standing.A shadow fell across the tent.“How many fatalities?” Zane’s voice rang out, his stature authoritative and voice commanding. I was witnessing him in his element for the first time.He looked every inch the warrior Beta, the playful sarcasm scrubbed clean by the battlefield. He stood tall, blood-splattered armor still on, his face grim but alert. This was the first time I had seen him like this. No jokes. No smirks. Just raw command.He had certainly earned his position as the Beta of the most powerful kingdom. He had singlehandedly led the troops to victory within a few hours despite the surprise attack.I lifted my fingers and signed quickly. Zero.He blinked, uncertain he had understood.

Maya’s POVI overslept.I jumped out of bed, fearing the worst.I was late for the Luna Trials. I did not even know if I would make it on time for whatever was planned for today.“Look at you, lazy as always. Late for something, dear?”I crashed into the worst person possible.Leo did not change. He was as ungrateful as before. I woke up before dawn every morning just to cater to his needs so that everything was ready before he woke up and I left for the infirmary. Clearly, he had taken me for granted.His mere presence irked me. Thinking of this ungrateful murderer made my blood boil. Not wanting to get into trouble for harming an Alpha guest in the palace, I tried to sidestep him and run to the designated venue. However, he caught my wrist and forced me against a pillar.“My mate,” he rasped, catching my wrists in one hand and forcing them above my head. “I missed you,” he nosed his way into my neck, trying to scent me and find his mark.I tried to push the big and burly man away bu

Maya’s POV“Wh-what is happening?” Leo stammered.Sebastian held out his palm and a crystal orb shimmered into existence above his hand, suspended midair like a summoned moon.Shock cracked through the hall like splintering glass. Mouths parted. Spines stiffened. The air turned electric. The room reacted as one, staggered, breathless, disbelieving.“The Crystal of Truth!” Princess Hannah choked out. “That hasn’t been summoned in — … ”“Centuries,” one of the elders whispered.The orb pulsed softly, illuminating the hall with a cold, otherworldly glow. Within its core, mist swirled, slow at first, then violently, as if sensing a lie in the room.“I heard that the crystal materializes only to protect the truth!”“Even the greatest kings have tried to summon it but the Crystal of Truth has its own will and lifeforce. It is rarest to rare to witness its existence!”“The Lycan King is truly great! He managed to achieve a miracle.”“Surely, the omega is doomed now.”“Yes. The crystal appear
