Rejected By My Alpha Billionaire,Claimed By The Lycan Mafia

Chapter 1 Mia's POV "Get out of my way, you useless Omega!" Immediately i lowered my head as the tray in my hands trembled. "I'm sorry." "Sorry?" The housekeeper standing before me scoffed. "Do you know how many times i have told you to polish the silverware before all the guests arrive?" "I did polish them, ma'am," i replied. "Then why am i still seeing fingerprints?" I swallowed hard as i looked down at the silver tray, there was barely a mark on it. But arguing would only make things worse. "I will clean it again," I mumbled. "You'd better," she spat, snatching the tray from my hands. "And don't embarrass us today. Alpha Joe's engagement ceremony is tonight and important people are coming from every corner of the pack." "Yes, ma'am," I replied, lowering my eyes. Then she walked away without another word, but i waited until she disappeared around the corner before releasing the breath i had been holding. I glanced at my hands to see they were already red from hours of cleaning. Today was supposed to be a happy day for the entire Moon pack, except for me. Alpha Joe was getting engaged, and I had known about it for months. Everyone knew. He is the richest and most powerful wolf in the Moon pack and was finally going to marry the woman he had loved since childhood, Silvia the Beta's daughter. I had seen them together countless times, had watched the way Joe looked at Silvia. The way his smile softened whenever Silvia entered a room, and the way everyone already calls her the future Luna. But i had never allowed myself to dream of anything different. Because I knew my place as an Omega, a servant and had learned long ago that girls like me weren't supposed to dream about Alphas. Especially not Alpha Joe. I sighed and continued cleaning. But I had barely taken another step when a strange pain suddenly shot through my chest. I froze. "What...?" The cloth slipping from my fingers. As my hand went to my chest, my heart pounding hard, fast. Boom. Boom. Boom. I staggered backward and grabbed the edge of the table. "What is happening to me?" I whispered. As the room suddenly felt unbearably hot, my breathing became uneven then something inside me moved. My eyes widened, then i felt it, a presence. Something that had always been missing, that had been silent inside me for twenty two years. A voice suddenly whispered inside my mind. "Mia" I gasped, my eyes darting around the empty room. "Who is there?" There was no answer, then the voice came again. "Mia" It sounded like a girl, young, but powerful. My breathe caught. "Is that...?"my voice cracked. "My wolf?" For years, I had waited for my wolf to awaken. I had watched other young wolves shift and discover their companions, waited through every birthday, every full moon and every night wondering if something was wrong with me. That people had eventually stopped asking, while some had called me defective and others simply accepting that i would remain an ordinary Omega. But now... just then a soft growl sounded inside me. I am here. Immediately tears filled my eyes. "You are really here?" "Yes" the voice replied. As I laughed through my tears, after twenty two years of feeling alone, I finally had someone inside me. "What is your name?" I asked. "Pearl" my wolf answered. "Pearl" I repeated the name softly and smiled. "It's beautiful." "Mia" Pearl's voice suddenly changed. And I sensed urgency in it. "We need to leave." "Leave?" I frowned. "Yes" Pearl replied. "To where?" I asked, confused. "The banquet hall" Pearl replied, as i looked toward the door. "The banquet hall?" "Yes, our mate is there." "Our... what?" I said, my eyes widening. "Our mate," Pearl repeated. And my heart skipped. "Pearl, what are you talking about?" "Alpha Joe" she replied. I stopped breathing instantly, as i shook my head. "Yes," pearl whispered. "No, pearl," I declined. "He is our fated mate." But I shook my head quickly. "That can't be true." "Yes it is," she muttered. "But he is getting engaged tonight!" "Then we must stop the engagement," Pearl muttered. Then I stared at the closed door, my hands trembling. "I can't do that." "You must," Pearl insisted. "I can't walk into the banquet hall and announce that Alpha Joe is my mate!" I snapped. "Why?" "Because I'm an Omega," I said, my voice almost rising. "It doesn't matter. You are his mate." But I shook my head. "That's not enough." My voice cracking. "He will reject me." Pearl became quiet for a moment then spoke firmly. "Go to him." I closed my eyes, fear twisting inside me because I knew what would happen if i was wrong. Everyone would laugh, the Alpha could punish me and I could lose the only place i had ever known. But if Pearl was telling the truth, what if I was really Joe's mate? I took a shaky breathe. "Fine." Then i opened the door as Pearl's voice immediately urged me forward. "Hurry." I nodded and ran, rushing through the corridors, ignoring the confused looks from the other servants. Just as the music from the banquet hall grew louder with every step i took, my heart hammering against my ribs, and finally i reached the entrance then halted. As my eyes scanned the hall filled with people, hundreds of pack members who had gathered for the engagement ceremony, and at the front stood Alpha Joe, looking exactly like the man everyone admired. Tall, powerful, handsome. And beside him was Silvia wrapped in an elegant stunning gown smiling. But the moment she noticed me standing at the entrance, her smile faded, while my whole body trembled in fear and suddenly i wanted to run back. "Go now" I heard Pearl's steady voice. Then I took one step after another as several people watched me and whispers began spreading through the hall. "Isn't that Mia?" "What is an Omega servant doing here?" "She is supposed to be working" But i ignored them, my eyes only fixed on Joe. And suddenly he turned, our eyes met, immediately something changed in his expression, his eyebrows pulling together as he stared at me as though he had seen me for the first time. I stopped walking, his chest rising sharply as his eyes darkened. Then a deep growl escaped him and the entire hall fell into silence. "Mate" his wolf, Kart said through him. Gasps immediately filled the room, my eyes widening while Pearl hurriedly surged forward. "Mate!" Joe stared at me, his expression filled with disbelief, then his wolf spoke again. "We're mates." As murmurs began. "What?" "Alpha Joe's mate?" "Isn't that Mia? The omega servant?" Joe then took a step toward me, his nostrils flared as though he was trying to understand the scent coming from me, his eyes never leaving mine. "I didn't know it was you all this time," his wolf said again. As my eyes filled with tears, and a smile slowly curling up my lips. Then Joe's gaze softened for a brief moment as his wolf added, "You smell nice." A few shocked whispers moved through the crowd, my heart fluttering as i looked at him. "Mate..." Pearl sounded almost triumphant inside me. "I told you." "She is our Luna," Joe's wolf growled again. And the hall erupted as some gasped, some whispering among themselves. While my hands trembled, Luna. The word sounding impossible. Because i had spent my entire life being treated as though i were nothing, now the Alpha's wolf just called me Luna. But not everyone was happy, Silvia stood frozen beside him, as color drained from her face. Then she looked at Joe, at me, her hands tightening around the fabric of her dress, because she had always believed tonight would belong to her. That she was supposed to become Luna, but now, the Alpha's wolf had chosen me. "Joe..." Silvia called, her eyes filled with panic. But Joe didn't answer, his gaze remained fixed on me. Murmurs growing louder. "Does this mean the engagement is over?" "Will Alpha Joe choose his mate?" "She's only an Omega." "But she's his fated mate." "The Moon Goddess chose her." Just then Silvia stepped closer to him. "Joe, say something." And finally he looked away from me, his face changed, the softness in his eyes gone, jaw tightened. "Joe?" I called, as my smile slowly faded. He looked at me for several seconds then his expression hardened. "No." My heart sank. "What?" "I said no," he said, voice cold. And the hall completely became silent. While i stared at him. "But... your wolf said __" "I heard him," he cuts me off sharply. "Then why?" I asked. "Because you're an Omega with no family, no status, no position," he said, looking at me from head to toe without any warmth in his eyes. My lips parted as murmurs passed through the crowd, my chest tightening. "Joe..." "Besides you're my servant," Joe continued, "you will never be anything more than that, I won't make you my Luna." Immediately Silvia's breathing steadied slightly, hope returning to her eyes. While i stared at Joe in disbelief. "But we're mates." "I know," he replied, his jaw clenched. "Then you can't break the ___" my eyes simmering in tears. "I can, and I'm saying it to everyone hearing," Joe said, looking directly at me , "I, Alpha Joe Howard of the Moon pack, rejects you, Mia Malkova, and the bond the moon goddess has bind us with as my mate." The words struck me like a physical blow as i staggered. "No, please stop it, you're hurting me. How will I survive it." "You will never be my Luna, " he said flatly, voice firm. "Please..." I shook my head while the crowd stayed silent. Then Joe took a breath as he delivered the final blow. "I reject you, Mia." My knees weakened, as i reached for the nearest chair before I fell, tears blurring everything around me, my heart hurting as if teared apart with surgical knife. As I could hear people whispering, see Silvia's relief face but i could no longer understand what was happening. Desperately i reached for pearl. "Pearl" No response. My heart pounding, Pearl? But all I received was silence, immediately my eyes widened. "Pearl?" Still nothing, my wolf who had appeared only moment ago, has suddenly gone silent. Then I pressed a trembling hand against my chest. "Please... Pearl." Still no answer. And as i stood alone in the middle of the hall, surrounded by hundreds of watching wolves, i suddenly heard a voice behind me. "Mia..." I turned, and the person standing there made my blood ran cold.
