Lahat ng Kabanata ng Rejected Luna : Alpha's Promise, King's Claim: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

BRONZEI watch Venus turn her back and leave the room silently. Once she closes the door, my skin prickles with anger. I run my hand through my hair again as my head throbs.This is a mess. Who would have thought I’d get my mate the day I was going to propose to Venus to become my Luna? This is the reason I hate the Goddess. She’s just a cruel woman who loves to play with our emotions. On top of that, Venus shocked me. I believed she was mature enough to understand the situation. We have been together for so many years. Couldn’t she have faith in me for a few hours? No, she had to walk in and act all immature. What the fuck happened to her? I’m the one who’s going to have to fight against fate, and she’s making it all about herself. Women are really emotional fools. “I agree,” Nor speaks in my head. He’s my wolf. “She had no fucking idea how much strength it took me to not grab that hot blonde and kiss her!” I growl in my head. I didn’t expect the mate bond to be this strong. It’

VENUSTwo hours have passed since I left the meeting and have seen Bronze. I don’t know when the meeting ends, so I’m guessing he’s still busy. I stroll through the packhouse’s garden, the solitude and the cool, gentle breeze calming my nerves.I wonder if Bronze is with Mallory right now. I can’t stop remembering Sydney’s sympathetic look. Maybe she is right to feel sorry for me. I catch his scent and hear his footsteps before I hear his voice.“Venus.” He walks over to me with a straight face. “Why did you leave the meeting?” I hold back a scoff. He’s asking me this after two hours. Not that I expected much since he’s the Alpha of the pack. “My opinion wasn’t required since Mallory was there,” I say in a sarcastic tone. His face hardens. “You’re still doubting me?” “Why shouldn’t I? You allowed Mallory to live in the packhouse and now she’s participating in the training camp.” I retort, my anger rushing to the surface. “I had no choice. The elders were pressuring me. You saw i

VENUSThe next morning, I am doing my archery practice on the training grounds when Mallory walks in. I restrain myself from shooting her with my arrow and avoid her. I don’t like her and I don’t need to act nice. “Hey, I see how much you guys love each other. I don’t intend to come in between that. I don’t think I can ever have what you have with him,” she says, and I see the sadness in her eyes. She scoffs. “I didn’t wish for this, but I can’t stay away from him because of my wolf.” I simply nod in understanding. I can’t blame anyone here because it’s fate’s fault for putting us in this situation. —-------------------------Bronze and Mallory leave the pack to head to the Alpha King’s castle. A month passes and I talk to him through the phone, but he has been speaking less to me because of his busy schedule and I don’t bother since I focus on training myself for the camp. Sydney also went with them, and she calls me since we have become good friends. We’d talk about various thi

“Let’s go,” Sydney wraps her arm around my back and leads me towards the exit. I look at the stage for the last time and see the disgust on the people’s faces. I also see the pity in Bronze’s eyes as he looks at me. Mallory comes up to him and helps him manage the angry mob. They look perfect beside each other and the people seem to respect and adore them. It makes my stomach coil. Once we are inside, I feel the tears stream down my eyes. Sydney notices that and rushes over to me. “Hey! Don’t cry. It’s not your fault. Come, sit,” she makes me sit on the bed and winces when she sees how swollen my right eye is. “This will take time to heal.” She mumbles and tends to my swollen eye. The cool touch of the ointment soothes my skin, but nothing soothes the ache inside. Bronze’s proposal should have meant everything. Instead, it felt empty, like he was fulfilling a promise, not making one from the heart.They already despised me. Bronze, naming Mallory as Luna, only confirmed what eve

VENUSFlashback continuesHe chuckles. “Mating is stupid.” When Bronze shifted into his wolf for the first time, I expected him to claim me as his mate. But that did not happen, as I am not his fated mate. I frown. “No, it’s not. Mom and dad are fated mates and they are so happy with each other.” I argue. He smirks. “That’s not true.” I feel offended by his words, but before I can retort, he adds. “They are together because they love and trust each other. Them being mates has nothing to do with it.” My eyes widen as I understand his point. He looks into my eyes as says. “I love you because of you, not because the Goddess says so. That’s why my love is special.” He whispers, and my heart skips a beat. “I can prove it to you if you don’t believe me.”He leans in and sinks his canines into my neck. A sharp gasp escapes me as the pain flashes through my skin. He’s marking me.My heart pounds wildly as the bond begins to form, threading its way through my soul, tethering us together.
