The Hidden Hero

Chapter 6– Rejection

Anne POV

I have been up all night planning, I know that the summons means that Alpha Brad has something planned for me, and I do not intend to stay long enough to be humiliated if that is what he has planned.

I walk towards the Alpha’s office, the summons glued to my hand. I have not been in the alphas office since I returned from my uncles’ pack, but I get the feeling that it will not be a good meeting.

Having thought it over, I would be willing to give him a chance if he promised to change how he treats me. However, if he decides that he just wants me because of the mate bond then I will quickly reject him and leave.

Personally, I think it will be the latter, after all he is hung up on me being wolf less and sees that as a weakness in the pack. Hell, it would not even surprise me if he decided that he wanted to banish me too, not that I don’t want to leave. But it would be the perfect excuse, I could finally be free and put him and my parents behind me.

I take a deep breath and let it out slowly, I mask my emotions having decided to play along with not knowing what is about to happen. I have an inkling but I will not let them see that until the last minute, when I will show them exactly who I really am.

“Come in.” Growls Alpha Brad, making me swallow and open the door slowly just to annoy him.

I walk in and see that my parents are also present. Ahh, he wanted an audience to do this in front of.

“What are you doing here?” I ask politely.

“Dealing with you.” My father growls..

“It turns out that the moon goddess has made her second mistake.” My mother growls at me, to which Alpha Brad just sits there behind his desk smirking.

“Whatever do you mean?” I ask politely, although it is taking everything inside of me not to just pummel them into the ground.

“Giving birth to you was the first one, then to mate you to our illustrious alpha.” My mother says, disgust coating her words heavily.

“Trust me, I am just as horrified as you are. Why would I want to be mated to anyone? Let alone one of the three bullies in my life?” I mutter, but I know that they all heard me from their expressions.

“Just be grateful I haven’t had you killed yet.” Alpha brad growls at me.

I just roll my eyes. Like you could, even if you wanted too. I think to myself.

“As if you could, and the worst mistake the goddess ever made was you three. She must be vomiting her heart up at the sight of you three.” I reply sarcastically.

My father steps forward and raises his hand to slap me, but before he can I punch him hard in the chest and he goes flying into the wall.

“You ever dare to raise a hand to me again and you will lose it. And that goes for all three of you.” I stare them down.

After a few moments of silence, the only sound coming from my father grunting as his picks himself up from the floor, Alpha Brad finally speaks again.

“Anyway, on to why you are here. I have decided that I do not want a mate like you. I need someone who is beautiful, kind and has a wolf. You are none of those things.” Alpha Brad says to me. “You are to leave and never return.”

“Oh thank goddess! About bloody time.” I say, doing a little dance in my head. What the others do not know is that I have been expecting this since last night so I packed up a few bags and put them on the edge of the territory. I am ready to leave this god forsaken alpha behind me.

I am rather grateful as it means that I can leave here looking like the injured party. The only sad part is that I am going to miss my friends, but then that is what social media is for.

“You are not welcome here, and I don’t want you here.” Alpha Brad replies. “Neither does anyone else. You are a liability and a disappointment.”

“I am just glad we can finally be rid of you.” My father spits at me.

“Me too, all three of you are not worthy of my time or the air I breathe. I will take my leave now.” I say, turning in my heel and walking away with my head held high. But then something crosses my mind and I turn back around smirking at them all.

“I have no intention of returning and I want all my ties cut. I, Anne Leaver, hereby reject Alpha Bradley Brown as my alpha and mate. I also relinquish all ties to this pack. I will take my leave and let you all burn in hell where you belong.” I say, not caring if he accepts or not.

Alpha Brad falls from his chair and onto his knees, clutching his chest as the pain of rejection rips through him.

“I, Alpha Bradley Brown, hereby accept your rejection.” He says through laboured breath. He smirks at me thinking he has won, but I will be having the last laugh.

“You will never see my face again, any of you. You are not worth it.” I say loudly and clearly, a look of confusion crossing all of their faces as some start to laugh. But I have the last laugh.

“Shall I enlighten you as to what you have all just lost?” I ask rhetorically.

Before anyone can reply I pull out of my pocket my mask, finally revealing to my ex-mate and family who I really am and why I am so much better than they think.

I put it on and shock go through them, making me smirk behind the mask before I turn and walk away.

As I walk further away, I hear Alpha Brads last words, “what have I done?”

But these words mean nothing to me, neither does the cries from my ex-parents and ex-mate.

I walk out of the territory with my head held high, not once even bothering to look back.
