Rejected by the Gamma Loved by the Alpha

chapter 12

Layla's pov~

I was making myself a sandwich in the pack kitchen, because I felt a little bit uncomfortable making it in the Alpha Suite. Everything was so expensive I'd probably break something.

When I was met with none other than Antonia.

So I thought maybe if I tried to be kind to her or find common ground maybe she would ease up on me a little bit.

Her makeup had always been on point, she was very talented in that area.

Looking at her I said, "Your makeup is always so beautiful and on point."

I waited for a moment and she didn't say anything.

Scowling, she growled. "You going to try to f**k me too you little w***e?"

"You know you may be able to fool your little Alpha, and his family but you can't fool me!"

"Nobody f*****g raped you!

You're an ugly w***e, no one would have to rape you! You're just pissed because Mike rejected your sorry ass! He told me it was his wolf at the moment of weakness he couldn't resist the pull of the mate Bond."

Tears pulled at the corner of my eyes, I quickly walked away so she wouldn't see me cry.Maybe she's right.I thought to myself.

But Carly wasn't going to let that slide, she swiftly took over my body pushing me to the back of my mind.

Carley was so incredibly strong and fast she reached Antonia quickly, balling up my fist she punched her in the face so hard I heard her nose crack.

Carley growled, "It wasn't the mate bond you stupid b***h! He raped me and then he rejected me when he was done! You are so fuckin pathetic you believe his lies! I was a f*****g virgin!"

As soon as Carly reached her goal she brought me back forward, and by the time I was back in control Antonia was huddled on the ground crying her eyes out.

Screaming, "You'll pay for this you f*****g cunt!"

"I don't give a s**t if the Alpha is your mate you will pay for what you've done!"

"First you f**k my boyfriend, and then you tell everybody you were raped, and now you assaulted me!"

It took me a moment to catch on, but I realized what she said.

"what do you mean mate?"

"Why do you always play the victim Antonia? I was rejected and raped and now I'm still being accused of doing something wrong! All I have ever done was exist!"

"And why do you keep saying the Alpha is my mate?"

Antonia looked at me with tears in her eyes.

"Why don't you ask your f*****g mate Christian!" Antonia said holding her nose and sobbing, as she hastily got up and ran out the door.

I debated whether I should ask Christian or not. If it wasn't true, I would be so humiliated, considering he's completely out of my league.

what if he laughs at me?

It would be stupid to think he was my mate,

Or it could be even worse, what if he is my mate, and he rejects me?

I could never be good enough for someone like him.

Just the thought of this brought tears to my eyes, I felt like I would never be good enough for anyone.

Especially since I'm no longer a virgin, I had saved myself for my mate this whole time, and my mate literally stole my virginity.

No one will want me now that I'm tainted that's what it feels like.

****

After I made my sandwich I decided I would go for a run putting my confrontation with Antonia to the back of my mind.

I ran back to my room grabbing an outfit that I could change into, it took me a while, considering, I had so many new items of clothing to choose from, I was hurting so much I finally just grabbed the closest thing to me and was on my way,

I didn't think twice about being careful.

Making my way to the forest I went behind a tree to shift, the smell of coconuts lingered in the air stinging my nose, this is bad I'm out in the forest where no one can help me, and no matter how Loud I screamed they wouldn't hear me.

I thought it would be safer because I shifted, but unfortunately, it only made it worse.

Mike's large dark brown wolf chased me for almost a mile.

Mind linking me to taunt me.

"Just because we aren't mated doesn't mean I can't have you whenever I want."

" Layla you've been a naughty girl, I know you have been f*****g the Alpha, you dirty w***e, and now it's time for your punishment! " Mike teased, laughing manically.

He caught up with me mounting me like a wild animal.

He extended his claws digging them into my wolf's hips for leverage.

Hammering into me and Carley so hard I was already bleeding.

I fought and struggled with all my strength but it was not enough.

Carley began howling and whimpering in pain.

I struggled and fought him off as best as I could, but he was much stronger than me.

As he began to finish, I felt him elongate his canines, I started to feel his teeth go into my marking spot. Suddenly, I heard Christian's voice, a furious symphony that cut through the night like the wrath of an avenging angel.

"Get your filthy paws off my mate, you mongrel!" Christian's growl was a revelation, a side of him I had never witnessed before, a primal force unleashed.

In a flash, Mike was violently hurled away from me, and Christian was upon him, a towering obsidian wolf pouncing on Mike's smaller brown wolf . The ferocity in Christian's eyes was unsettling as he sank his razor-sharp canines into Mike's flesh, rending it to a mangled mess.

The sight was gut-wrenching. Mike, once formidable, now lay in a pitiful heap, a quivering mass of blood-soaked fur, unrecognizable in his agony. Christian's retribution had left an indelible mark, a chilling testament to the depths of his protective fury.

Christian was at my side within seconds, picking me up bridal style, I had shifted in his arms.

I'm sorry Christian, I shouldn't have gone for a run, but I was just so angry after my encounter with Antonia. I said with tears glistening on my cheeks.

"Shhhh, don't be sorry babe, you should be able to go for a run in this pack without being assaulted every time you leave the pack house."Christian said his eyes watering as if he was holding back tears.

"I'm the one that's sorry, I can't even protect my ma-te, I mean friends, how am I going to protect this entire pack, I'm a failure." Christian said bowing his head in shame, but I didn't care about that, I was wondering why he called me his mate and then overcorrected.

Taking his torn shirt he wrapped me up and brought me into the pack house. I was entranced by his celestial body.

I had never seen anything so perfect.

Christian had so many tattoos he really was one of the most gorgeous men on this planet.

I know it's odd for me to think about this. But for some reason every time he touches me everything else melts away, and it's just me and him nothing can touch us.

Christian smelled so good, I nuzzled my head into his chest and took a big whiff inhaling his delicious scent. I was calmed instantly.

Bringing me out of my daydream Christian cleared his voice to get my attention.

"He has to be punished this time Layla, I did it your way the first time, but I cannot continue to show Mercy to someone who continuously hurts you."

"I care about you too much to let people continue to bully you and assault you."

Christian said, with sadness and rage in his eyes.

But all I could think of is what he just said, he really cares about me.

Just those words gave me butterflies, and I realized ,I could forget everything that happened to me in the past when I was with him because he made me happy ...

"By the way, I heard what happened with Antonia and I'm really proud of you Layla. It's about time you stuck up for yourself."

Once again I debated with my wolf if I should ask him if we're mates, or not.

"Just ask him Layla, you have absolutely nothing to lose, besides he cares about you, I don't know what you are worried about!" Carly said trying to convince me to ask him if he was my mate.

"Carly I'm not ready I'm afraid I'll be rejected again and if he didn't want me I don't know what I would do."
