ALPHA'S REGRET: Saving His kidn*pped Triplets

Chapter One

OPHELIA'S POV

“I, Alpha Kian Thorin of moonstone pack, reject you, Ophelia Griffin, as my mate.” Alpha Kian stated calmly like he gave no care in the world.

Silence swept over the room. Not what anyone expected. If they did, I didn't.

I swallowed hard as I tried making sense of what was happening. I rose from my seat slowly, my eyes meeting his. "What?!" I asked in disbelief. Maybe he made a mistake or this was a silly prank. But I wasn't daft to see he was rejecting me

He c****d an eyebrow, "What do you mean what?"

I inhaled a deep breath leveling my voice. "You're rejecting me? I'm your mate." I thought of reminding him in case he forgot.

A sneer popped out on that face I had grown to love. Taking a step towards me, he continued. "Did you really think I would let you soil my lineage with your dirty Omega blood? You're not competent. We're not compatible. You're an omega, a slave, an orphan. Why do you think I would accept you?"

"You cannot do this…" I started but Alpha Kian had turned away from me and was facing the table again. His next words shocked me the most. "I have decided to pick another mate—a girl more desirable and fit for an Alpha of my position."

The entire dining table went silent as the Alpha pointed in my direction again. Only this time he wasn't gesturing to me.

He was gesturing to the woman who sat by my side.

"Amber!" He announced.

I jerked my head to the side my eyes wide with horror as I watched my best friend stand from her seat and smile at everyone. The table erupted in applause.

"Amber?" I whispered in disbelief and she turned to me.

Her smile deepened turning into a sneer. "That's Luna Amber to you, Friend."

Whispers arose from the table. My ears began to fill up howling sounds rushing in them. Without a second thought, I turned and bolted for the door. I could hear gasps behind me but I didn't care, everything was a blur. It was a miracle how I could run on these heels of mine. When I got to my room I threw the door shut and locked it from the inside. I became hysterical.

I was hyperventilating. My hands were shaking furiously but I managed to take my heels off. I peeled the stupid blue dress I had worn for Alpha Kian off my body. Blue was his favourite colour and I had worn a blue dress for him.

This lunch party he was supposed to announce me to the Pack. The day I found out he was my mate was the happiest day of my life. He had smiled at me and welcomed me only for him to reject me in front of his people. It was cruel.

I picked up a pillow and screamed till I lost my breath. I was meant to be the Luna, I was his mate! The Moon Goddess had her plans and I thought that things were finally working my way.

"Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!" I chanted to myself while I shoved my clothes into a bag. I switched to a pair of trousers with a hoodie to match. I was so provoked. I was angry, sad, ashamed and betrayed. It just had to be Amber, my supposed best friend. Amber, whom I had poured my heart to everyday about how I felt for Alpha Kian. She knew the feelings I nursed in my heart for him for the past four years. I just couldn't understand.

When I was done stuffing the bag, I zipped it. I looked comical. I had mascara dripping down my face, my hair was a blonde mess and my heart ached like never before. I kept staring at myself in the mirror, wondering what Amber had that I didn't. I would never be enough.

"I would never be enough." I whispered to myself and my walls crumbled and I started sobbing. I sat on the bed sobbing my eyes out. When it seemed like my tears were exhausted, I calmed down a bit. I thought deeply about my life when I stared at my packed bag. I had no parents, no relatives, nothing to my name. I was a mere wanderer in this existence.

What would I do?

I held back the new batch of tears my eyes had produced immediately. I bit down on my thumb. When I calmed again I cleaned my face, picked up my bag and left the room. I had set my plan in motion. I would be running away from this pack.

I looked both ways, making sure no one was around. The sound of raucous laughter from the dining room echoed around the mansion. When the coast was clear, I hurried down the stairs, my eyes blinded by tears, until I ran face-first into a wall.

Turning I discovered that it was not a wall I collided into.

"Kian." I uttered his name slowly, my heart hammering against my chest with fear.

"It's Alpha Kian to you." That name that used to bring butterflies to my stomach now made my ears bleed.

I gritted my teeth, "Of course."

He scanned my appearance, "What is the bag for?" When I didn't respond, he continued, "Where do you think you're going to? Running away?"

I stayed silent clutching my bag to myself. Alpha Kian snarled. "Do you think me rejecting you frees you from your obligations?"

"Why? You do not need me here any more. I'm not your mate anymore" I raised my head. I had no confidence but I could pretend like I did.

"Yes but you're still mine." He grabbed my arm, "come."

I resisted but tugged me forward and strengthened his grip. "Ouch, Alpha Kian! You're hurting me!" I yelled as he dragged me not caring a bit if he was hurting me.

He opened a door and shoved me in. I landed face first on the bed, my bag slipping from my hands and landing with a thud on the floor.

I turned to see the Alpha advancing on me. With a satisfied grunt he held me down my arms, his breath warming my face.

"I cannot deny the fact that I find myself fantasizing about your body, even after rejecting you," he mumbled. "My omega mate."

One of his hands let go of my arm and snuck down, finding its way to the hem of my skirt. My breath trembled as he slipped his hand in, his warm fingers tracing a line of desire up and down my inner thigh.

Up and down he went until I was panting like a thirsty dog for a closer touch. Everything I reminded myself of: how this man had callously rejected me in the midst of several important people, flew out the window.

I found my eyes fluttering shut, my hips driving upwards, aching for him until he indulged me. With a smug smile on his face Alpha Kian's fingers found their way between my thighs, found me wet and wanting for him.

With a sigh of raw desire the Alpha leaned away from my body forcing his pants down. In a matter of seconds he forced my legs apart and between them. I could feel his hardness; his rock-solidness pressing into me.

I wanted him inside of me at that moment because I knew that a part of me would belong to this man for as long as I lived.

Alpha Kian slid into me easily,l and I found myself gasping with pain then desire. He began to thrust in and out slowly at first and then rapidly.

He let go of my other arm giving me the opportunity to wrap my hands around his neck not to strangle him but to pull him closer to me.

Soon we began to rock rhythmically against each other; our pants matching, our heartbeats moving in sync with each other. Alpha Kian groaned as he reached his release gripping the sheets around me convulsively.

"Ophelia!" He gasped. "f**k! f**k! f**k!!!"

It struck me that this was the first time he ever truly called my name and how I would never be able to experience this ever again. My heart broke into a million indescribable pieces.

Our movements reached a crescendo until I hooked my legs around his waist and he released into me with one clean shot.

As he relaxed Alpha Kian glanced down and for a fraction of a second our eyes met. I felt a spark of the mate bond between us before he broke eye contact and the spark was gone, lost forever.

Alpha Kian rolled to the side and immediately drifted off into sleep leaving me to my riotous thoughts. As soon as he was fast asleep I snuck out of the pack house and left the Pack with a promise never to return.
