Rise Of The Rejected Omega

Banished.

ARIADNE

Our bond completely snaps after I accept his rejection.

I nearly cry out as I fall to my knees on the ground and clutch my chest, gasping for air that refuses to enter my lungs as the pain engulfs me like a whale swallowing everything I am. I feel like my heart has been ripped out of me, including my very own soul.

Alongside the pain, I feel something burning on the skin of my chest with a faint light hidden under my clothes. I don't know what it is, but I feel the painful sensation on the right side of my chest.

No one here can see it.

However, I feel the pain combined with the agony of my rejection.

Right now, Alpha Xander is staring at me with silent anger raging in his eyes. Even though I am experiencing the most gut-wrenching pain I have ever experienced in my life, I am also enjoying the pleasure of watching him deal with his bruised ego. I know he also feels the pain of our severed bond too. However, he is an Alpha and a powerful one at that, which means the pain of the severed bond won't hurt him as much as the agony I am going through right now.

He is still staring at me with anger in his eyes, and his face is filled with displeasure and disgust.

Raw, unconcealed disgust.

I know I repulse him. The bond the Moon Goddess herself bestowed between us has been destroyed, so there is no need for him to hide his disgust of me anymore.

“You are strange, Ariadne.” He faces the crowd and clears his throat, announcing loudly to everyone, “I know the will of the goddess is sacred. However, her signs can be complicated sometimes." He pauses, his chest expanding under his shirt as he takes a deep breath. "Sometimes, a bond that cannot be accepted is revealed to be rejected. And Ariadne Ellis is rejected.”

“Hell yes.” Vivienne adds happily, shifting her half naked body beside him while sticking out her tongue at me.

Childish slut.

Her father, Beta Abernathy, is still standing like a statue. His face is so emotionless like Gamma Lorcan's face, but when his eyes accidentally meet mine for a fleeting moment, I see only pity in those brown eyes.

Cold, useless pity.

“Ariadne,” Alpha Xander continues. “I have heard the rumors and reports of the cat you meddled with. Tell me, are the rumors true?”

“I don't know what rumors you are talking about.”

“Don't dare act sneaky with me,” he barks at me. “You are an omega. An orphan. You have no lineage, no strength the pack can use, and you are not normal. You have... strange evil abilities. You have a touch that interferes with life and death itself. You are a danger to us and to the natural order of our kind.”

Those words stab into me, but I force myself not to break. Just then, I watch as his eyes rake all over me, his glaring gaze studying my slender frame, my dirty clothes, and my brown-dirt nails.

This asshole is feeding on every flaw he can find on me.

"You are weak, Ariadne.” He continues disgustingly. “You are worthless, filthy, and a rejected mutt. You are a nobody, and I am so grateful that we are no longer fated mates.”

His voice is loud enough for everyone to hear him. Every word is like a knife driving straight and deep into my heart.

Weak.

Mutt.

Nobody.

Worthless.

Rejected.

Filthy.

He is also using the pack's fear and their ingrained prejudice against me to validate his own bruised ego and revulsion against me.

Thank goodness I accepted his rejection. He is such a disgusting asshole!

The tearing pain in my chest is still there, sometimes intensifying and then subsiding and pretending like it will go away. Loud voices rise from the crowd, agreeing with him and revolting against me.

"He's right!"

"She's evil!"

"A cursed Luna would destroy us!"

"Dirty omega!"

"Protect the pack, Alpha!”

Their wicked words are a chorus of condemnation. They don't see me. They see their fear. They see a threat to their orderly, predictable lives, especially those f*****g elites. They see the rejected, weak, filthy thing that Alpha Xander has painted me to be.

And they are afraid.

Alpha Xander turns back to the chanting crowd.

“As your Alpha, I must make the choice that protects this pack.” He takes a deep breath. “My duty is to you all, and I must fulfill it."

The crowd cheers and the asshole looks back at me with a burning glare. Clutching the hem of my tattered shirt, I brace myself for whatever comes next, although I feel like nothing can truly prepare me for the unknown.

“Ariadne Ellis, from now henceforth, you are no longer a member of the Redmoon pack!” he declares.

W-hat?!

“You are banished from the Redmoon pack and you are never to be seen here ever again,” he continues. “You are a danger to us, and you must be sent away.”

Quickly, he turns to Gamma Lorcan. "Gamma Lorcan, see that this filthy trash is removed immediately."

“Yes Alpha.” Gamma Lorcan bows and quickly signals the two burly warriors who stood behind him earlier back in the Omega’s dorm room. The two warriors don't look at me with only hatred. They are also determined to follow orders and save the pack from the danger they just banished.

Me.
