I was worried when I didn't find Nalya at the pack house. My heart almost left my chest. I was relieved to hear that Nalya went to town to work. However, I didn't like that she worked there, knowing that the males would openly ogle her because who wouldn't? She was nothing short of perfection.
I was left with an overwhelming edge to see her, and when I did, I was instantly calm. Her golden hair cascaded down her perfect breasts, and her lips twitched into what resembled a smile. I approached her, but Antonia suddenly came out of nowhere to kiss me. Nalya ran away, and I didn't follow her. What would I have told her?
"What was that?" I growled at Antonia.
"Helping you," she said.
"With?"
"I know she's your mate, and you rejected her. It may help her accept the rejection," Anger consumed me at her words, but I composed myself.
"My life is none of your fucking business, and stay away from me," I growled. Tonia was a good fuck, but she was too involved in my life.
"I was- just-" her voice quivered. I raised my hand to shut her up.
I called for a monthly meeting in the hall, and everyone raised their concerns. Once the meeting was over, we heard a buzz of excitement.
I pushed past a group of people and saw her in the corner. Nalya was crying and holding herself. Most of her hair was covering her upper body. She honestly looked like a goddess who was getting her portrait done.
"That's hot," someone commented, taking a picture. I let out a growl that made everyone whimper. I took off my coat and covered her naked body. Nalya got up and ran to her room without looking at anyone.
I glared at the two girls who had been bullying her, and it took all self-control for me not to tear them apart for humiliating her as they did. I have never wanted to kill a member of my pack as I wanted to now. I stalked towards them, and they were trembling, their skin paling each second.
"How fucking dare you do that to her," My wolf growled. I grabbed both of them by the neck, squeezing them.
"We- thought it was funny?" One of them cried, not looking at me.
"Funny? Humiliating your fellow woman is funny to you?" I growled. The ground beneath us vibrated, and Rega was growling dangerously, releasing the darkness I hid from my pack.
"We didn't mean any harm," her voice trembled.
"Henceforth, you are banished from the pack house, and you will spend a long time in the dungeons for what you did to my- to her," I declared. The girls cried louder when I threw them against the wall, and blood oozed out of their necks.
They were entitled brats. They thought they could do as they pleased just because their families were of high status.
I blinked several times, trying to tame my wolf. I faced all of them, and they bowed.
"Delete those videos and pictures you took instantly," I ordered, and the kids fumbled with their phones.
"How could you even delight in a woman's humiliation? Were you not raised better than this?" Nate scolded, furious.
"We are sorry, Alpha, Beta," they said in unison, all
hanging their heads in shame.
I went back to my office, growling. I was angry. It's been a while since I felt like killing anyone. My phone rang, and I saw the caller ID; Ella.
"What," I snapped, unable to control my temper. I knew why she was calling. Even though she is at the university, she gets first-hand information.
"I hope those girls are getting dungeon time,"
"They will be..." I said, anger swallowing me again. Ella stayed silent for a while, breathing heavily.
"That girl has been through so much, Rhaegar, She was almost married off to an old man, and now, this, she can't catch a break!" she bellowed. My heart hurt for Nalya.
"She's my mate, and I rejected her," I confessed.
"What?!"
A few voices said at once, Nate, Kendrick, and Ella.
"No, no, Rhaegar, you didn't," Nathaniel was shocked. He always had a soft spot for Nalya since the day they met.
"Rhaegar," I could hear Ella's disappointment over the phone.
"She's a rogue child who is not strong enough to be my Luna," I said, grabbing my bourbon and gulping it.
"And you fucked her... A child as you say, then you should be arrested. You had no right to subject her to that pain," Ella said, pissed. Mating with her was a terrible decision, but she looked so appealing that I couldn't resist, I should have.
"You slept with her and then rejected her," Nate's face paled at the realization, and his hands clutched into a fist. He would jump at me if Kendrick wasn't holding his arm.
"She was there, and I couldn't control myself, man,"
I told my friends what happened and my reasons for rejecting her again, but it went right over their heads.
"You're just making this up," Kendrick said, getting the bottle from my hands. I let out a breath and changed the topic.
"What happened to the girls?"
"I've locked them away for charges of bullying," Nate said, he was bitter but wasn't trying to punch me.
"And the videos? Are they all deleted,"
"Yes, I made sure of that," Kendrick said.
The door to my office opened, and Antonia walked in with a look of worry on her face. I got to my feet, ready to kick her out.
"I thought..."
"Alpha, she hurts herself," she said.
"What are you saying?"
"Nalya injures herself. It's a way of dealing with difficult feelings, painful memories, etc. I used to do it when I was younger,"
"How do you know this?" Nate asked,
"I saw her inner thighs when she got up," she answered. My mind went to the morning I rejected her and how she rubbed her wrist as if wanting to feel pain.
"I - I didn't see any injuries on her," I whispered.
I left the office abruptly and went to Nalya's room, opening the door without knocking. She jumped to her feet and looked paled.
"A-Alpha what-" she was stammering.
"Do you hurt yourself?" I asked. Her brows raised, and I saw her touch the corner of her pillow nervously. I lifted the pillow to find a lighter and a blade.
"Why do you have this?" I asked, my voice coming out harsh. I was scared and angry that happened, and no one noticed. Nalya didn't say a word to me. I grabbed her cheeks to make her look at me.
"Do you self-harm?"
She shook her head. I ran a hand through my hair.
"Are you lying to me?" I growled.
"I accept your rejection," she said suddenly, keeping her beautiful eyes on me. I felt all the air leave my lungs.
"You what?"
"I accept your rejection, Prince Rhaegar. At the end of the month, I'll be leaving this pack," she told me.
She was leaving me. I looked deep into her eyes. They were void of any emotions. I took her hand, and still, the sparks erupted surprising us. Maybe it takes some time for the bond to break. For now, I didn't feel different. Everything I felt for her was as strong as the first day.
"Okay," I said and left the room. I was breathing heavily, and my heart twisted painfully in my chest.
I shifted into my wolf form and went for a run. I didn't want her to leave. Nalya was mine. How could I let her go like that?
My wolf was silent, he had been since the day I rejected our mate, and he had the right to be angry with me. I denied him his counterpart.
I ran for hours yet didn't feel the need to stop. Unlike any wolf, mine was stronger and larger because my bloodline was the direct descendant of the original Lycans.
I went to the pack house, and I stood under a cool shower. I hoped the water would take the pain, but it didn't. When I came out, I lay on the bed, facing the ceiling.
If rejecting Nalya was right, why was I feeling so shitty? She would die like my mother did if accepted her.
