Desired By My Ex Alpha Mate

Elena’s POV I got into the pack house and I was met with a fleet of cars parked all around. Was there an event going on? I should be aware of this, as I was Alpha North’s mate. The guards who usually bow to greet me whenever I stood before them, didn’t. I waved at the thoughts of disrespect as something suspicious was happening. When I got to Alpha North’s chambers, he wasn’t in. I wondered where he could have been when I saw a maid passing by the corridor. “Mabel, do you know where the Alpha might be?” I asked. She hesitated before answering. “Yes, he should be down in the hall. Aren’t you aware?” “At the hall?” I frowned. “I’m not aware of that. What’s happening there?” I asked, but she bowed. “I beg to take my leave,” she said, and I nodded, excusing her. I brushed off the thought of something bad happening. I was excited to let my mate know I’m back with great news. Maybe esteemed guests arrived for our mating ceremony happening soon. I knew he would be just as happy as I was with the news. I left his chambers, stopping at mine to adjust my hair and dress. If I was right, he would be with guests and I need to look presentable. I was his soon to be Luna. Afterwards, I left for the hall immediately. The large doors of the hall were already open, and I stepped in, greeted by scornful looks from the guests scattered around. I could not understand why. My heart dropped, shocked at the sight in front of me as I looked to the side. On the makeshift altar, Alpha North stood beside the daughter of one of the council members, Lord Gryphon, with their hands locked on each other’s. She had a smug on her face as I approached. “Elena, so you finally came, took you long enough,” he said with a hateful look etched on his face. “What do you mean, my love?” I asked. My heart was racing and my mind was whispering so many possibilities, but I didn’t like them. I didn’t want to believe what was happening. Alpha North ignored my question as he started addressing the crowd. “We are gathered here today, for me to name Leila here as my Luna,” he started, but I couldn’t help but interrupt him. “No” I rushed forward, but before I could get to the altar, two guards blocked my path. “I am your mate. She cannot be your Luna. I am,” I said, tears threatening to leave my eyes. Still, he ignored me and continued. “Leila, here has been chosen to be my Luna. She has all the qualities a Luna possesses,” he said. “I am your mate!” I yelled, my tears dropping. I knew I should not yell. He was the Alpha and yelling was seen as disrespect, but I could not help it. His eyes came on me, filled with hatred. “It is foolish of you to think I will make you a wolfless omega, my mate,” he said. “I…” I bit my tongue but continued. “I do” I lied “Show us your wolf,” He said, looking around. “I’m sure everyone is eager to see” My heart started beating twice as fast as it was before. I couldn’t believe my secret got out like this. I trusted Alpha North with it. He said it was okay, so what changed? What happened? I couldn’t do anything. I couldn’t move because I knew I didn’t have a wolf. “Judging by her reluctance, she doesn’t have a wolf. She cannot rule this pack as a wolfless Luna. Leila here, not only does she have a wolf, but she is strong and can help fight in battle” I could not believe it was my mate, Alpha North, saying this. The very man that promised to stand by me even if the council refused our union. He told me I had nothing to worry about. He promised me! “I want a Luna who is strong enough to rule by my side,” he continued. “Therefore, I, Alpha North, Alpha of Ravens Pack, hereby reject you, Elena Black, daughter of Gabe Black, as my mate,” he said, his gaze staring into my soul. My heart shattered. My entire body ached from within. It felt like a spear went through my heart. I was to accept his rejection to feel better, but I could not. How could he say this? How could he do this to me? I thought he loved me? I won’t accept his rejection. Alpha North would never do this. I held my chest, trying my best to ease the pain. “We are fated mates. We are to remain together. You promised-” I could not finish. I fell to my knees, the pain only increasing as I resisted. I shook my head. “You can’t do this Alpha North, please,” I begged “Accept the rejection, Elena, we can’t work anymore. You won’t stop feeling the pain until you accept my rejection.” He said, not caring if I was in pain or not. Not caring if his words hurt me or not. I couldn’t accept his rejection despite the pain I was feeling deep within my chest. I just couldn’t. I was carrying his child. “Accept the rejection, now!” he roared, his voice louder than before. “I can’t do it. I’m pregnant” I said. I couldn’t help but notice the shocked expression on everyone’s face, a displeased expression etched on Leila’s face as I spoke, but I didn’t care about that. All I cared about was what Alpha North felt, but his expression remained the same; uncaring and indifferent. “Accept the rejection now or be banished from this pack with your child,” he said I couldn’t believe it was Alpha North who was saying all these things to me. Where did his love go? Did he never love me? In front of everyone, he speaks like he never told me how much he wanted to be with me. Even his own child, he rejects too? I couldn’t let my child suffer because of me. I had to accept his rejection. “I, Elena Black, daughter of Gabe Black, accept your rejection,” I said, sitting on the floor as the tears rolled down my eyes. The physical pain was no longer there, but I was broken I couldn’t believe something like this would happen. I thought I would never have a mate of my own. I thought I would be alone in this world, but Alpha North came into my life and made me believe I could have a mate even though I was wolfless and promised me I would never be alone. I always doubted myself and he told me he loved me the way I was and I was strong in his eyes. But now I believed it was all a lie. How could he betray me like this? I trusted him with everything in me and he rejected me before the pack. One of the council members, Lord Atlas, stood up and spoke. “If she isn’t your mate and Luna anymore, what use is she to the pack, Alpha?” he said Another Lord among the council, Lord Liam, stood and spoke as well. “She carries your child, Alpha North. What should we do with her” he said Another Lord spoke, one I don’t recall his name. “She should be banished from this Pack,” he said, looking at me with disgust. I looked at him with horror on my face. I could not be banished. I had nowhere to go. “I have heard all which you have said,” he said. Leila tugged at his arms. “I need a slave and I think she would be perfect for the job,” Leila said with a grin at me. My eyes widened, glancing at Alpha North, who had no expression on his face. A slave? I could not be a slave. “No, I don’t want that,” I said, shaking my head. “From today, I, Alpha North, declare Elena Black, daughter of Gabe Black, as a slave to my mate and Luna, Leila.” he announced.
