The Rejected Moon Wolf

Chapter two

CHAPTER 2:

ELLIE'S POV

It was my 18th birthday and it felt like my death day. Days had passed since my parents were killed brutally and I had to run around the Pack looking for help. I was dressed in filthy mourning clothes.

I wanted justice for my parents and right now, I was before the Alpha.

"Tell me what you want, child." He asked, in an amicable tone and I was filled with so much hope. I had always seen how my father worked well with the Alpha. I felt like only he could understand my pain.

"My parents were killed brutally. Please, get justice for them. Do not let them die in vain." I pleaded as tears rolled down my eyes. I bowed continuously and my head banged against the bare floor.

"Justice?" He asked and I nodded, hurriedly.

Suddenly, the Alpha burst into a peal of mocking laughter and I shuddered, in shock. I raised my head to look at him, wondering why he was laughing at my predicament.

"I, Alpha Sullivan Wilson will always stand by justice. But, tell me why I should get justice for your parents?" He asked and I was shocked.

What does he mean?

"My parents are innocent! Please, help them." I begged as tears streamed down my eyes.

"Your parents are of no use to me after they betrayed me. Get out of here, Ellie. You could as well become a slave, just to pay for your parents' sins." He said to me and I thought I was hearing things.

"No! My parents are innocent! They would never betray the Pack!" I yelled, in anger as I couldn't stand any form of slander against them.

"Guards! Get her out of here!" The Alpha ordered and my eyes widened in horror. I realized I would never be able to get justice if I lost this chance.

However, before I could do anything, the guards rushed at me.

"Get up, you slut!" One of them said out loud and I was stumped.

No one had ever dared to insult me before now and I now get pain and insults.

"Don't you dare say that to me!" I said, in anger and through gritted teeth.

I just couldn't stand the insults even though I couldn't stand against them.

"What are you going to do, then?" One of the guards asked and before I knew it, a slap landed on my face and my head whipped to the side.

"Hmmm..." I groaned in pain as I felt the metallic taste of blood in my mouth.

"Get her out!" The Alpha ordered again and I realized he had been watching what his guards were doing to me.

A place I used to walk into so freely, I couldn't anymore. I was being despised and thrown out.

The high and mighty daughter of the Beta had turned into a doormat, on which everyone can step on.

"Haha!" I let out a low and mocking chuckle. However, it was born from the depths of pain.

The guards held onto me and they dragged my weak body out of the hall. Their eyes were filled with so much wickedness and if they had their way, they would do to me, what they did to my mother.

Is this my fate?

"Look at you! You used to be so proud, following after your dead father! Now, no one even wants you. Won't it do you good to sell yourself to me, huh?" One of the guards said and he let out his wishful thinking.

However, I felt numb to every one of their tormenting words. I had suppressed myself so much and I couldn't even feel my wolf on my birthday.

I was supposed to feel her stirring within me even before the full moon came.

But I felt nothing! I was wolfless and mateless!

As I was thrown at the door, an intoxicating scent hit me. At the same time, one of the guards stepped on my legs, with so much force.

"Ahhh!" I cried out in pain as I saw stars.

My leg was broken and my face was bloodied.

Suddenly, my eyes started to turn dizzy as I was already feeling weak.

"Master Brian is here!" The guards yelled, suddenly, as they moved away from me and hurried to get the door open.

"Brian?" I said, in my head as my skin started to line with goosebumps. Soon, the door was opened and the familiar son of the Alpha appeared before me.

He looked the same, yet so different.

He was incredibly handsome and his scent became more prominent. It sent waves of blissful pleasure into my head.

"My mate!" I cried out in my head. Even though I couldn't feel my wolf reacting, I was sure Brian was my mate.

"Ellie?" He suddenly spoke up as he towered over me. His voice was filled with so much disbelief as he looked down at me.

"Help me..." I muttered as I stretched my hand toward him. I was weak as I lay on the ground, helpless. Everyone had suddenly turned against me and he was my only hope now and I craved the love he would give me since he was my mate.

However, Brian suddenly burst into a peal of mocking laughter. His laughter resonated with that of his father, in my head.

"So, you turned out to be my mate, huh?" He asked, with a shake of his head and slowly, he bent toward me.

His words confirmed that he is my mate. As he got closer to me, I could feel him more and the pull I felt was so great, I felt like staying in his embrace, forever.

"Please, help me, Brian. I'm weak." I let out, in a pleading tone. At this point, I just wanted to get out of there and just sulk in my bed, or Brian's embrace.

"You are weak? Then, I shouldn't have a weak female as a mate. Don't you think so?" He asked, with a smirk on his face and I went still.

What does he mean? My mind continued to mull over his words as I looked up at him, in alarm.

He looked back at me with a mocking gaze. His eyes were filled with so much disgust and hatred. I realized he didn't want me, either.

"You don't want me?" I asked, in a shaky tone as I swallowed, painfully. I waited for him to confirm my words but deep down in my mind, I wanted him to want me. He is supposed to need me!

"You? Tch!" He let out and swiftly, he stood upright.

"Get her up!" He ordered the guards who had been watching by the side. The Alpha was long gone, else, he would have been here to witness such a sight.

"What are you doing?" I asked, looking directly at Brian as the guards held me up. My mind had already come to a conclusion about what he was about to do but I couldn't believe it!

However, his next words made my reality crash down on me.

"I curse the day I met you, Ellie. I, Brian Wilson, reject you as my mate!"

"The Moon Goddess was definitely blind when she made you mine." He spat out.

As I heard my mate say those hurtful words to me, my heart burned and I felt like my life was crumbling and in the next second, I was pulled into darkness.

___

A few hours later, it was dark and I opened my eyes due to the offensive odor, flowing into my nostrils.

"Where am I?" I asked myself, in a low tone as my eyes cleared up and they got used to the surroundings.

The offensive odor was more prominent now and immediately, I jolted up.

"Ahhh!!" I screamed in horror when I saw myself in dirty waters. The last thing I had remembered was passing out after Brian rejected me. It turned out that I was dumped, deep within the dirty drainages.

"Hello..." I called out, to know if there was anyone around. On the other hand, the pain of rejection hit me differently this time. I could finally process it after passing out. As I slowly and shakily walked out of the drainage, I felt my heart and soul being torn.

It was like I was hollow from within and a crucial part of my life was gone.

"Somebody help..." I cried out as I noticed I was bleeding in my arms. I didn't know what happened but then it was obvious that the guards had rough-handled me.

"Look! The murderer is awake!" I heard someone shout, in my direction and I halted.

What was that person talking about? Soon, several people came out of the shadows and they pointed accusing fingers at me.

"There are rumors that she killed her parents! Is that true?" I heard one of them say and I staggered in shock and disbelief. My head pounded as I didn't even know things had gotten to this extent.

"She even tried to seduce the Alpha's son." Another person said and immediately they all burst into a peal of mocking laughter.

I couldn't believe all that was being said about me and I wondered what had gone wrong. My parents had died, so why do I have to suffer injustice? I felt like shouting to the heavens. The Moon Goddess had done me bad.

"Get away! Everyone!" Someone suddenly shouted and screams erupted in the atmosphere as a car screeched on the road.

"Ahhh!!" I yelled as the car brushed past me and swiftly, I fell to the ground. My bleeding arm became worse and pain shot through my whole body.

I realized I was just jumping from one problem to the other.

"Take her!" A man yelled from the car as it came to a halt.

"What?" I cried in my head. It was obvious they were coming for me and I couldn't let them take me.

Slowly, I started to crawl on the road, desperate to get away.

I tried so much to move faster, but I was too weak and my blood continued to spill. I couldn't even heal quickly as my wolf had been suppressed.

"Someone! Help..." I cried as tears spilled from my eyes. I could hear footsteps behind me and they were unhurried. The men were really taking their time. They knew I wouldn't be able to get away.

Looking around, it was still dark and I could see so many eyes on me.

"Help!" I continued to cry but the Pack members continued to look at me, with eyes filled with disgust.

I realized no one would come to my rescue at that point.

"Are you done running?" The man asked from behind, in a scornful tone and I shook my head.

Swiftly, I felt his hand on my legs as he started to drag me toward the car.

"Don't touch me! You swine!" I screamed as anger bubbled within me.

"You stink! So, let's get this over with!" He replied, as he looked back at me with disgust.

However, I didn't care, I just wanted him to let me go!

"Let me go! You will regret this!" I yelled as I thrashed about. I tried to get away but his grip was way too strong.

"Shut her up!" The man ordered suddenly and my eyes widened, in horror.

Was he going to kill me? Oh no! I still needed to get justice for my parents. I felt crazed at the thought of dying and as one of the men approached me, it was like my soul left my body. He had a metal rod in hand and it was obvious he was going to use it on me.

"No! No!" I yelled, in horror but he held onto my mouth, with a devious smirk on his face.

"This is going to be quick!" He said and before I knew it, he slammed the metal rod, directly on the side of my head.

I heard a ringing noise and a surge of pain and in the next second, I blacked out.
