Rejected By An Alpha, Fallen For A Rogue

Lila’s POV “By the power vested in me as alpha, I break the mate bond between us, you are unworthy of my pack and my name. I reject you here and now. The bond ends here. Lila, you are free to go. The bond is broken!” The morning is chilly and gloomy. I could feel the familiar blanket of sadness suddenly enveloping me. It has been eleven months and thirteen days after Alpha Axel Shadowfang made that declaration that severed the bond between us, I'm yet to recover from the emotional turmoil I went through thereafter. Those words shattered my heart. The wounds in my heart are still fresh and yet to heal completely. I never knew I would be alive today after my life took a tailspin when Axel rejected me. From the moment it was announced that we were fated mate, I couldn’t believe my luck. Axel was the most handsome and brave alpha in the pack. And to cap it all, he was destiny to be the next Alpha King! Despite his brutality and shrewdness, Axel has the charisma of a true leader. I had never loved any man like I loved Axel. I dreamt of the day we will start living as husband and wife. I couldn't wait to be his Luna. I thought I had my future with Axel all sorted out not knowing that his mother, Ma Morgana and his junior sister, Greta would conspired against me. Ah, Ma Morgana, that witch! Why didn't I noticed that Greta was out to destroy my life. I might not had the best of cordial relationship with Ma Morgana, but same cannot be said about Greta. From the very first day we met, I took Greta as my sister and a friend. She was my close confidant. She was the one I cry to each time I caught Axel cheating on me. She pretended to be protecting my interest. Why didn't I noticed that she was a double-faced b***h! Coming from a humble family were getting the basics of life appears to be luxury, I have been praying to the Moon Goddess right from when I turn ten, to give me a mate that would not loved me, but also be wealthy enough to change my life and that of my family. Few years later when I met Axel, it was obvious that the Moon Goddess had answered my prayers. Axel did not only have all the good qualities of an alpha, he has wealth and power at his beck and call. I couldn't resisted as I found myself falling in love with him. While we were dating, I was so engrossingly in love with Axel that I ignored most of his red flags. I couldn't say whether he loved me the same way I loved him. But one thing I could vouch for Axel concerning our relationship was that he liked me. I didn't care whether the feeling was mutual or not, all I wanted was for us to get married, consumate our marriage, and let me start bearing Axel kids. I wanted us to have four kids; two boys and two girls. If anyone had told me a year ago that the bond between me and Axel would be broken, I wouldn't have believed it. The events that made Axel to broke our bond is still baffling me. The betrayal and all. I could feel the pain in my heart as hot tears started rolling down my cheeks. I don't deserve this wickedness! I could remember how Greta cajoled me to the bar that very warm evening under the pretext of having a girls-nightout. As if I had the premonition of her evil intention, I didn't feel like going out that night because I suddenly started feeling ill. ***** “C'mon Lila, you have been indoor all day.” Greta pleaded, touching the side of my neck. “Going out will make you feel better. Let’s go and have fun.” “Ooohh, Greta…I am not feeling fine right. We can go out some other time. I…” I said touching my aching head. “Lila…please.” Greta pleaded once again, this time as if she wanted to cry. In order to make her happy, I found myself agreeing to go out with her, “It is ok…let's go.” How I wished I knew her evil motive, I wouldn't have went out with her that night! Whatever activities that happened at the bar, went like a blur. I wasn't in the mood for any fun. I just wanted to sleep. I noticed Greta sneak out occasionally with the excuse of using the restroom. I didn't give it serious thought. Suddenly my stomach started turning, causing me immense discomfort. I retched. I saw myself vomiting at the floor of the bar. I was embarrassed. Everybody at the bar starred at me with concern and disgust. I tried calling Greta, but she wasn't picking. Where did she go? I was feeling very weak. A huge man came to my aid, placing my hand on his shoulder as he led me outside to his car. ***** “Where are you coming from?” I heard Axel voice reverberated through the courtyard as I walked through the massive gates after the huge man had dropped me. It was obvious that he was very angry. “I…we…” I was so confused at first that I struggled to connect my thoughts together. “Shut up! You cheating bitch.” Greta shouted at me. Axel was sitting before what look like the entire Shadowfang pack, staring pensively at his phone. “What is going on here?” I tried asking in confusion. “What is this nonsense?” Axel growled. Thrusting the phone directly at my face. I could feel his anger brewing. I saw the picture of the huge man while he was trying to assist me at the bar. My hand was slump over his broad shoulders, while he held me at the waist. Mere looking at the picture, it would be difficult to deny the fact that there was nothing intimate between the two of us. “Ooohh…I was not feeling…I threw up…Gre…” I struggled to explain myself amidst my humbled jumbled thoughts. “Lila, you were cheating on me!” Axel growled. I could feel the anger in his voice. “No…I didn't cheat on you…I went out with Greta…” I could feel a lump in my throat. “Liar! I was sleeping in my room, I never went out. Don't you ever mention my name from that your stupid mouth!” Greta shouted at me. “You cheating b***h!” “Axel, you know I will never cheat on you. I will rather slit my wrist and bleed to death than allowed any man have there way into me.” I explained as started finding my voice. “I went out with Greta to the bar. I started feeling unwell and threw up while Greta was using the restroom. That man on that picture was trying to helped me because I was very weak. I never knew him from anywhere.” I said. Axel hard mien soften a little bit. He seemed to be in dilemma on whether to believe me or not. “Lila, are you so desperate that you don't mind roping my innocent daughter into your cheating scheme?” Ma Morgana said as she walked into the courtyard. “In Shadowfang pack, their alphas do not marry cheating mates.” Ma Morgana said proudly. “I believe my son, Axel, one of the most powerful alpha in this pack will not suddenly become so weak that he would ever end up marrying a cheat like you.” Ma Morgana said while eyeing Axel. “Axel…don't tell me you believe that. It was set up. I never had anything to do with that man.” I cried. “I will never cheat on you.” “Shut up! Once a cheat, always a cheat!” Greta spat at me. I was already at the floor, crying and begging, a miserable heap. My head was aching. My heart felt like it would burst. Axel finally stood up, I could feel the anguish and disappointment in his voice as he declared that the bond between us has been broken. My world came crashing. *****
