Rejected But Elevated

Episode 2

Cassie Jones POV

THE NEXT MORNING

I yawned on my bed as I turned around to look at Jamie, but I couldn’t see him, so I stood up to take a proper look at the room.

Even though I couldn’t remember clearly what happened last night, I knew we both just had s*x together, and he professed his love for me too.

As I stood up, I smiled at the blood on the bed, signifying my innocence before going into the bathroom to shower.

After showering, I wore the short flag pink gown on the dressing table which I guessed he had just left for me and picked up my purse.

I went out and headed towards the hallway since everywhere was quiet, so I was thinking Jamie would be addressing everyone today, and he would fully start his alpha duties.

As I walked along the hallway, I could hear the maids looking at me and gossiping, but I had no idea what they were talking about.

“Did you know the alpha is choosing a new Luna today during his speech?” I heard one of the maids who passed beside me say,

I gasped, my mind clouded with thoughts. He had finally decided he didn't need any mate and was choosing me because he realized I must have really loved him.

I don’t care about anyone, but I do to him in a lot of ways and I will continue doing it because he’s worth it.

I smiled lightly before walking faster to get to the hallway. I couldn’t wait for him to call my name and show me as Luna to the whole pack.

I was scared, I wouldn’t lie. All these years, I've been waiting day and night for him to propose to me.

As I got to go into the hallway, I met him addressing all the pack members, so I stood staring at him from the entrance without going in. He was everything every lady wanted.

“Everyone is wondering who our Luna will be.” Immediately he said, shouts erupted. Everyone wanted to know who was his fated mate or who would be our Luna.

But my mind went to our intimacy last night. The rhyme, the sound, the promise. And lastly, when he told me about how he had always crushed me again.

I wanted to ignore the feeling, but I was already getting wet thinking about it even though I knew I shouldn’t be that way since other lone wolves can easily detect my wet feelings.

I saw him stare at me for a few minutes and smiled, which he reciprocated back. “It’ll be announced in some time, so everyone can enjoy one another as I need to settle some things.”

I frowned as he said that, but he walked out coming to me. “Why are you here?” he asked me. The question was weird, as I’m the one who was supposed to be called Luna, right?

“Of course, I’ll be here. I mean, you forgot…”

“You can’t stand here. I’m saying You should go and sit down there.” He interrupted me by pointing at the front chair, sitting alone.

Without waiting for my response, he went back to the stage and started raising the attention of the pack members, which was annoying me.

Why would he ask me to go and sit down at the lone front seat when he could easily call me from here, and he was being distant from me, which felt more weird.

“Our new Luna will be someone we all know well. A loving and brave soul, she’s the most beautiful woman on this earth.” It made me blush when he said that.

I adjusted my gown to fit more, so I'd be comfortable walking on the stage.

“It’ll be no other person than Alex.”

Immediately he said that my shoulders dropped.

The light reflected on me, but someone from behind pushed me, which made me fall on my knees as she walked inside.

She went on the stage and smiled at everyone as Jamie kissed her lips. I could feel my breath seizing away just with the scene.

My heart was burning in pain as I was confused at whatever was happening in front of me right now. Alex was announced as the new Luna of the Vale pack or was it about the man I love announcing it himself?

Now I remembered why Daisy kept being around him. Daisy was Alex’s best friend. It wasn’t until after I came here that I befriended Daisy.

“She’s my fated mate, most of you all might be wondering why we kept it a secret. It was found out recently since we found out a few weeks ago.”

“And for the alpha succession party to go smoothly and successfully.” As he said, I could feel my heart beating rapidly in pain

No, no, no, I don’t want to believe what I was hearing. A few weeks ago? I have been lied to. Used, dumped and betrayed.

Everyone was chanting her name and praising her while she stood shamelessly smiling and waving hands at everyone.

Shocked was an understatement to describe how I feel right now as I stood up angrily dashing towards the stage.

“What do you two think you are both doing right now?” I shouted as I cleared my tears and looked at Alex angrily.

“Why her, Jamie ? Why is she the one to be your mate? Why does she deserve to be your Luna? What happens to the promise you told me? Have you forgotten what happened between us last night?”

He let go of Alex’s hand and stared at me. He broke into a smile at first, turning it into laughter as his face turned cold all of a sudden.

This would be the first time he'd stare at me this way and all I could see was hatred, pure hatred all over it.

“That was just the numerous mistakes two opposite gender friends make when drunk, so don’t think about it. It was just a fling.” Immediately he said that, I staggered backwards.

My eyes were building up in tears, my heart hurt and I couldn’t believe this was what Jamie ever thought of me. He just told me I was just a fling due to the numerous mistakes every friend does make.

I had no idea how it happened, but I knew I had just done the most unexpected thing. My body fueled in anger as I climbed up to the stage, pulling him to face me as I slapped him across his right cheek.

Slam!
