Rejected But Desired：the Alpha's Regret 소설 & 이야기

“He is the best choice to replace the Alpha. He has no criminal record, and he’s absolutely clean. His mating ceremony is coming up next week, and that simply means in no time, he’d have a Luna.” The surprise and frustration within me came together to form rage, and I snapped. “You have no precedent!” “Oh, we do,” Elder Rhys smirked. “We already declared that we don’t need the Alpha’s leadership, and what a good thing that he isn’t here, but left his function in the hands of his elite beta.” “Because he’s out there, giving his all to save your stupid asses from sorcery!” I cried. “Are you out of your mind!”

he replied, looking at me in anger "For the second time." In an instant, the bond that had once held them together was torn and ripped off by his rejection. This time it was real. I felt it. It wasn't like all the other rejections where he would mark me again. My wolf screamed in pain as I felt them cut off. "You’re weak," he continued, standing over her. "And weak wolves have no place in my pack." "Throw her into the dungeon," Alice said, her voice filled with malice. "Let her rot there."

“We can finally be together. She rejected you and not the other way around. Your father and the council won’t punish you. Just accept it!” “I will never accept it!” he roared, shaking from the strain. “I am an alpha, I can handle the pain. She is only a lowly omega. Weak and pathetic. She won’t survive my refusal. She will kneel and beg me to take her back, and then she will understand that no one rejects me.” His voice rose with manic arrogance. “I am Alpha Leonard Amari. I do the rejections!” I turned away, forcing my body to move even though every muscle screamed.

The crowd erupted into shocked murmurs. Alpha Kael stiffened. When he looked at Lyra, his eyes darkened—not with confusion, but with certainty. With acceptance. He stepped forward. Past me. The mate bond screamed inside my head, torn and incomplete, leaving behind a hollow ache so deep it stole my breath. “Alpha Kael?” the Elder asked carefully. “What is the meaning of this?” Kael didn’t hesitate. His voice rang cold and clear through the clearing. “I, Alpha Kael of the Silverclaw Pack,” he said, taking Lyra’s hand, “reject the bond with her.”

“You really love him.” “Yes,” I breathed, my chest heaving. “I do.” He nodded once, curt, as though bracing himself. “Then… I, Alpha Scott of the Golden Moon Pack, reject…” “No!” I cut him off, shoving at him harder, my tears burning hot trails down my face. “You’re really pathetic. You just want to be the one to reject me.” His mouth twisted, and he gave a bitter, humorless laugh. “That’s the only way it will work.”

“Please.” He stepped away from me and uttered the words that shattered my heart in pieces without any hesitation. “I, Alpha Damian of Moon City pack, reject you, Omega.” Then he walked out of my room, leaving me to crumple to the ground in pain. The tears poured even harder, almost blinding me as I crawled to my mattress and dragged the pillow, shoving my face in it to muffle my wails. When I wrapped up crying for the second time in a day, my head throbbed in pain as I sat with my head in my hands. He had rejected me, he had actually done it.

Not a wound. A snap. Silent. Final. As if some thread inside me had been cut. I clutched my chest. And I felt it— not love, not longing. Loss. Kade’s wolf. Not in heat, but in rage and grief. It made no sense. He had chosen me. Rejected her. That cursed girl should’ve been dead by now. But the unease in my chest wouldn’t fade. I dressed quickly — no silks, just temple robes — and stormed through the moonlit halls of the Alpha estate.

the alpha says. "What?" I say, my heart beating in my throat. "What do you mean, it's done?" "I mean it's done," the alpha says. "I've decided." "You can't do this," I say. "I saved Matthew. I proved my loyalty. I--" "That's enough," the alpha roars. "My decision is made." "I won't accept this," I say. The alpha turns to Dean. "If she does not leave on her own," the alpha says, "we will throw her out."
