REJECTED BY MY ALPHA, CLAIMED BY HIS ENEMY.

Chapter2

I should have kept running.

Every instinct in my body kept screaming at me to run but I was too weak, broken and empty to even do so. The silence in the forest pressed in on me, not even the sound of the leaves rustling was heard.

“Who is there.” I shouted.

The shadows shifted and then they stepped out.

They were three rogues and I didn’t need a wolf to recognize who they were because their scent hit me instantly, sharp and rotten, laced with violence and hunger as they took me in.

I was alone,weak and easy. The perfect target.

One of them smirked. “Well… look what we have here.”

My stomach dropped.

This couldn’t be happening, not tonight and definitely not like this.

“Please…” The word slipped out before I could stop it. I hated how small I sounded.

They laughed.

“Please?” another mocked, circling slowly. “You think anyone’s coming for you?”

No one was at least not anymore.

Niklaus had made sure of that.

The realization hit harder than anything else that I was truly alone.

My back hit a tree, rough bark scraping against my skin as I forced myself to stay upright and think but fear was swallowing everything.

With each step they took towards me, I took a step back.

“You don’t even have a wolf,” one of them said, almost amused. “This shall be quick.”

My chest tightened and my nails dug into my palms as I tried to push past the panic, but my body refused to respond.

So after everything I’ve been through, I was going to die here.

The first rogue lunged.

I flinched, bracing for the impact…..

….but it never came.

A blur of movement and the sound of a c***k so sickening that it made me want to throw u.

The rogue was thrown sideways, his body slamming into a tree hard enough to split the bark. He didn’t get back up.

For a second, everything froze, including me.

The other two barely had time to react before he appeared. I didn’t even see where he came from, one moment there was a space in front of me and the next moment he was there, Tall, Huge, Dangerous.

Power rolled off him in waves so intense that it knocked the breath off my lungs. It was the kind of dominance that demanded submission without a single word. An Alpha but not like any other I’ve ever seen.

The rogues hesitated for just a second the way he moved too fast for my eyes to even fully track,it shows that it was all he needed. One second he was standing still, the next he had one rogue by the throat, lifting him from the ground like he weighed nothing and it’s crazy because in that moment what I thought about was how I wanted to be lifted so easily like I weighed nothing.

But the sound I heard brought me back into reality, a sharp twist then another c***k and when I looked to where the sound was coming from, I saw a body dropped.

The last rogue didn’t even try to fight. He turned to run but he didn’t make it far.

The Alpha was behind him in an instant.

Heavy silence followed.

My breath came out shaky as I stared at the bodies, my mind struggling to catch up to what had just happened.

Then… slowly… he turned to me.

And suddenly, I couldn’t breathe at all.

His gaze locked onto mine, sharp, intense, unreadable. It felt like he was seeing through me, stripping me down to something I didn’t even understand myself.

Not weak or broken. He looked at me like I was something else, something….wrong.

A strange tension filled the air between us.

His eyes narrowed slightly then he took a step closer.

Instinctively, I shrank back, my body reacting before my mind could catch up.

But he didn’t stop or even hesitate.

He was right in front of me now. Close enough that I could feel the heat of him, the sheer weight of his presence pressing down on me.

My pulse stuttered.

For a second, neither of us spoke.

Then his voice broke the silence, low, controlled, dangerous.

“You’re not wolfless.”

My breath caught.

What? I stared at him, my heart racing for a completely different reason now.

“That’s not possible,” I whispered.

It wasn’t… it… couldn’t be. That was the one thing I had always known for certain.

But his gaze didn’t waver, If anything, it sharpened.

Like he knew something I didn’t.

Like he was looking at me and seeing… more.

“You are,” he said quietly.

The certainty in his voice sent a chill down my spine.

Confusion twisted inside me, battling with fear, disbelief, and something else I couldn’t name.

Before I could respond….

A sharp pain flared in my chest.

I gasped, doubling over as something inside me shifted violently.

Not like the rejection.

Like something buried inside me had just… moved.

The Alpha’s expression changed instantly, not to concern but to focus and recognition.

His hand shot out, gripping my arm to steady me before I collapsed.

“Easy,” he muttered, but there was tension in his voice now.

Not fear but Something worse, Understanding.

I looked up at him, panic rising again. “What’s happening to me?”

For a moment, he didn’t answer.

His grip tightened slightly, his gaze locked on mine like he was trying to decide something.

Then he said something that made my blood run cold…

“Exactly what I thought would.”

My heart skipped.

“What…?”

But he was already looking past me, his expression hardening as his head tilted slightly like he listening.

And then I heard it too.

More movement in the forest, More approaching and Not three this time, ther were Many more.

My stomach dropped.

The Alpha’s jaw tightened, his hold on me shifting not letting go.

“Stay behind me,” he said.

But there was something in his voice now that hadn’t been there before.

Something dark that made my chest tighten for all the wrong reasons because in that moment I realized that he didn’t save me by accident and I wasn’t safe yet.
