My Fated Lycan king

Episode 2

Being left alone inside the room i sighed loudly as soon as Maya  left, and I couldn't help but notice something weird now that I was alone.

Bruno didn't come with me. The whole evening, he had acted the most distant to me than our whole life.

'Hey, snow . What happened to you? You have been awfully quiet today,' I asked my wolf, but rather than her reply, I just heard her small whimper.

'At least snow  talk to me, . How am I supposed to know what is wrong when you won't speak?' I asked again, and she sighed.'I felt something weird during the wedding, Yasmine. I can't feel his wolf anymore. I tried to look for Bruno's wolf, but it felt like he wasn't there. They had blocked us,' Snow said, and I looked out of the balcony thoughtfully.

Is something really wrong with Bruno and his wolf?

"Come in," I said when I heard a knock, not moving from the balcony.

I was hoping for Bruno to come and hug me from behind like he always does. However, when I didn't feel his arms around me, I squinted my brows before turning around.

Seeing a girl standing in front of me, along with Bruno, I sighed.So that's the reason. He didn't want to look inappropriate in front of the stranger.

Wait. A stranger?

"Who are you? I am sure you don't work in the mansion. Even if you are new, why did you enter our room without permission ? Who hired you?" I asked, confused.

"Why are you looking at him? Let me call the head maid. How can she hire someone and allow her to roam around the palace without proper instructions? It's not good for her. What if someone bullies her -"

"She is not a maid," Bruno cut me off.

He didn’t look too pleasant at the moment.What was going on here?

"If she isn't a maid, then what is she doing here? You have brought her to meet me? Is she a friend? Or distant sister?" I asked, looking between the girl and Bruno trying to figure out what they were getting at.

As I took a step forward, I noticed how the girl in front of me winced slightly, and Bruno held her hand, making me squint my brows.

"Why is she acting afraid of me?" I asked, looking at Bruno now.

"She is not a friend, and neither a distant sister," Bruno said, and I looked at the hesitancy in his eyes.

It was the same hesitancy he had shown when the priest asked to mark me and seal the bond. Why is he acting like this today, after our wedding? I thought as  I tried to put two and two together.

Bruno was hesitant to mark me. He was hesitant when I talked about our wedding night. Then he brought a girl to our room. The girl doesn't belong to our pack and is neither a friend nor a sister.

I don't want to think of things like that. I don’t want to think negatively and ruin my mood, but why do I feel like this girl was -

"She is my mate," Bruno completed my thoughts, and I looked at them in shock and horror, feeling the ground under my feet shaking as my legs trembled.

His words pierced right through my heart like wooden arrows.

She is what?" I asked again.

"Haha, Bruno. I think my anxiety is getting worse,cause I'm hearing different words already ,you said maid right now right?

I asked Bruno trying to be sure of what I heard as I moved towards him when the girl beside him whimpered, and he brought her close to his chest, making my heart skip a beat.

"Your mind is not tricking you, Yasmine. You heard it right. She is my mate. My fated mate," He said, and snow growled inside me.

"Wh-what are you talking about, Bruno? You found your mate and now what?" I whispered, my eyes brimming with tears, and I clenched my fists to control my raging emotions.

"Calm down, Yasmine. We can talk this through," Bruno's tone was still as calm as ever, and I hated that cause I wasn't that calm but how can he expect me to calm down in a situation like this?

For ten  years. I waited for this day for ten years, and now that it is here, he brought his mate here and tells me everything is useless? How can he do this to me and expect me to calm down?

Was my love for him for so long a joke to him?

Taking a deep breath, I closed my eyes to control the hurt I was feeling before opening them again.

?" I whispered, my eyes"Even if she is your fated mate, what is the use of bringing her to our wedding room? We have signed an agreement. You know what you need to do. What is this all ruckus for?" I asked, and he looked at me cautiously.

"I can't reject her, Yasmine," Bruno said as he gritted his teeth, and I looked at him, my heart beating at a fast pace now.

"What the hell are you talking about? We signed a contract remember! Reject her this instant!" I growled at him.

"Yasmine Lopez! Don't you dare raise your voice at me. I am still your husband and now the rightfully alpha of the pack," Bruno growled back at me and my heart sank into the pit of my stomach.

"Please , don't be mean to her. She is just being emotional," That girl placed her hand on Bruno's chest in a provoking manner, and a few tears rolled down my eyes.

"Do you see that Yasmine ? This is how a mate should act. She knows how to calms and soothes my anger. Something that you can't ever do because you are hot blooded," Bruno scoffed, and every word he spoke was like a slap to my face for loving him.

"You will never understand what I am feeling right now. You don't have a mate after all," Bruno scoffed, pulling that girl closer to himself and kissing her forehead, shattering my heart into tiny pieces.

Did he just say I don't have a mate , when I rejected mine because of him , this must be a joke I thought in my mind

"Y-you. How could you do this to me, Bruno? Why now after all these days? Why now?" I broke down before turning away.

" if this is a joke , you have got me "I said trying to lighten the room but deep down I was breaking down

"Everyone should be in the pack's hall in five minutes," I growled through the mind link, and noticed Bruno wincing a bit before he looked at me with a hard gaze.

"Yasmine, this is a matter between us. You don't need to bring everyone into this," Blake said, and I can't believe that he still has the audacity to defend this matter."Everyone definitely needs to be a part of it. It has always been the rule of this pack. Besides, you are the alpha of the pack now, Bruno. Don't think impulsively," I said before walking towards the hall.

Seeing the commotion in the hall, I gulped a bit.

Though I acted strong inside the room, I wasn't sure about it anymore. My legs felt like giving up as my body shook with pain. I don't know if this was what rejection felt like, but in my heart, it felt like someone was stabbing me again and again.

I never felt like this when I rejected my mate two years ago , why does Bruno holding his mate hurt so much

Wiping the  tears that flew from my eyes, I took a deep breath before walking ahead in the hall.

I don't know how humiliating this matter is going to become for the pack.

Their late Alpha's daughter just got married today, and they met a new alpha, and on the same night, they were about to hear such a piece of news about their wedding.

"Luna ? Why did you call everyone in such a hurry? Are we under some kind of emergency? Is something wrong?" Bruno's father asked me with a knowing look, and for some reason, it felt like he already knew about it.

"Your new alpha, Bruno, has something to say. Alpha Bruno," I said, and he looked at me with dark eyes as he gripped the girl's hand in a tighter protective grip.

"I am sorry. I know I should've informed everyone regarding this matter before the wedding, but I have no intention of leaving Yasmine, thus I didn't tell her beforehand. I didn't want to spoil our day. I thought she would understand the matter, but it looks like she is more interested in creating a fuss than having a peaceful night," Bruno said.

I looked towards the ceiling, trying my best to control my tears that were about to fall.

Wow, according to him, I am fussing? He brings his mate that he can't reject, and I am fussing?

"What is the matter, Alpha Bruno?" Henry , who was also my Gama, and Maya's mate said, and everyone nodded their heads."I found my mate. My fated mate," Bruno sighed, and everyone gasped before looking at me as if waiting for some kind of reaction from me.but when they did not get that , their reaction turns to pity and I hated that seeing that no one was about to talk , are they already that afraid of Bruno that they cannot remember what their late Alpha commanded before his death

"I don't see why there is a problem with that. According to the agreement, ‌reject your mate. That’s what both of you had signed and vowed to each other. Why are you extending this thing and making it harder for yourself and the poor girl?" Maya  asked,  I know she will always have my back and Bruno  glared at her.

"I can't reject her," Bruno  said, and once again, everyone looked at me ,and I hate that .

"Can I know the reason why you can't reject her? You didn't hesitate to sign the agreement. And it was signed in front of the pack, my late parents, and your parents. And before that, I want to know when you came to know she is your mate?" I asked, and he looked away.

"It's been a week since I found her. I met her when I went to the eastern areas. Bruno said and I remember him going to the the eastern areas a week before our wedding for a meeting I can't reject her because she has already suffered so much in her previous pack. You guys won't believe how pitiful she was when I found her,” Bruno brought that girl closer to him.

“She had wounds all over her body. She was barely holding herself alive. I can't reject her and have her suffer the mate-rejection pain too. Her wolf won't be able to take it. She will die, and I don't want that. I am sure you are not too inhumane to want that either," Bruno said, and I looked at him, a feeling of self-mockery settling in me.

"Her wolf would die because of the rejection. What about me? Were my  years of love a joke to you? Why don't you think about my wolf?" I asked, feeling sad, and Bruno looked away, not answering me.

"So, now what? You guys took your oaths today only. Are you going to reject our luna?" Henry  asked, and it brought tears to my eyes.

"There is nothing like that. Luna Yasmine will still be my rightful wife. What I am trying to say is, I can't reject my mate. My wolf wants her. If I reject my mate after meeting her, then he is going to be heartbroken and will never be as powerful as he is. Do you think an alpha with a broken wolf will be able to rule the pack?" Bruno reasoned, and the more he was speaking, the more tears dropped on the floor as I looked down to hide my pain.

"Why? Why did you hide it from me? We could've stopped the wedding if you had mentioned this earlier! Why!" I screamed in pain, my wolf howling along with me I will be never accept sharing my mate or husband with any body not talk of an omega

"I am sorry, Yasmine. I know I wronged you," Bruno said, and I snarled at him when he tried to walk toward me, making him step back.

"Luna Yasmine, I know I have become a hindrance in your love life, but believe Alpha Bruno when he said that we can't leave each other.

I can't live without him,I will die if he rejects me .

I love him so much. I know you are his chosen mate, but can you give him the same love as his  fated mate?" The omega said to me in her overly sweet voice, which was irritating to my ears .

"So what you really cared about all this while was , your wolf pleasure and power , you never cared about me right? I asked

"Yassy ,Maya  called , looking at me with sympathy, and I growled at her, a warning to maintain her distance from me.

"If you can't reject her because you don't want to make your wolf weak, I guess we have nothing more to talk about," I stood from my place, looking Bruno in the eyes.

"Since you can't reject your mate and be loyal to me like the contract says, I guess there is no reason for me to follow the contract and let you have the Alpha's position, right?" I looked at him, and Bruno widened his eyes.

"You wouldn't dare," Blake growled at me.

"Do you want to test me?" I snarled back at him his reaction was about to prove my thoughts right that him saying he loved me all this while was just a mere facade to get my father to entrust him in being the next alpha and he won my father's struggle to make sure he does not betray me was all in vain ,cause he played this card well and got married to me first before disclosing his fated mate to me ,cause taking back an alpha position is difficult.

"Stop it. You don't need to fight my mate for it. I thought Luna Yasmine was a sensible person, but I can see that you can't let a weakling like me have happiness," the girl suddenly said, and I raised my brows at her.However, what shocked me was that her words were changing the expression of my pack members too. Were they also blaming me? After everything I have done for them?after everything my parents did for them, are they about to believe a total stranger over their own Alpha's daughter

"I can't let it happen. I don't want my mate to be stripped off  of his position. My love for him is not the selfish kind.

"I will ease him the pain of having to choose between your options ,it will be better if I take my life everything will go back to how it was "the girl said as she grabbed a dagger from one of the guards near by and slit her hand in a blink of an eye

Making everyone gasp in shock and Bruno rushed to her while growling in pain

"Leah ! Bruno called out she he caught her in his arms and left for the pack hospital .
