Tame For the Alpha

THE BLACKBONE PACK, MATING CEREMONYTHE REJECTION HAPPENS

For days, I expected alpha Gregor Jint to come for me at the blackbone pack as I spent my days in misery, beaten and verbally abused daily by Alpha Ulfric after he brought me back to the pack.

I spent days crying in the room I was made to stay, heavily guarded since I was not allowed to go anywhere lest I run off from the pack.

The mate bond between Ulfric and I was one that left me under his bondage and made it impossible for me to leave.

On the night he had captured me, it was Jager Jint who had shown up to save me, but through some wild luck on Ulfric's and Grim's side, Jager had been left badly wounded and I had been carried off against our will.

While I was still inside the room, days to the moon goddess celebration, he came to taunt me.

"Still thinking of running away?"

He asked when he came in.

"I never did run away."

I said in my defense.

"Well, what do you have in mind now?"

He asked

" I have nothing in mind."

"I have something in mind."

He said suggestively as he walked to me.

I stood up on my feet defensively and started to back away but he reached me and gripped me by the arms.

" Let me go! You are hurting me!"

I protested as he clung on to my arms.

" This should be a privilege you accept with both arms."

He said. I knew at once what he wanted to do and I struggled to get free but he pushed me against the bed and fell on me, pinning me against his body so that I could not move.

Tears sprang to my eyes as he started to peel my clothes off violently.

He hit me repeatedly as I struggled to set myself free.

"Shut up and stay still!"

He commanded repeatedly. When he started to push his manhood into my v****a, the pain searing and paralyzing, I could only cry, pleading for him to stop causing me the pain as he thrust forcefully into me, each thrust bringing a new wave of paralyzing pain.

It went on for long before he eventually eased himself off me.

I was looking down at my trembling hands as alpha Ulfric mounted the dais to take his seat. He had given orders for me to be dressed up in a dress that he thought was nice and also had my hair done in a fashionable royal coiffure so that I could be a part of the mating ceremony, to be announced as the new luna and mate to Alpha Ulfric Nus, seventh Alpha of the Blackbone pack, one of the most powerful that had ever ruled the pack.

The eyes were all on me as I took my position right where I was asked to. Just below the dais that he was sitting.

I sat there, still aware of the night he had forced himself on me. The memory haunted me so much that even his voice reminded me of his cruelty.

"Today in this ceremony, my mate and I shall be officially sealing the mate institution that the moon goddess has ordained..."

Ulfric's voice came to me where I was seated and it brought only shivers down my spine. I was trembling from within and for the umpteenth time, I wished there was a way I could escape, or if perhaps, Alpha Gregor would appear and rescue me from the turn my life was going to take forever.

" Step forward, Selene."

He ordered with a smile that he directed at me while his eyes only held anger.

I rose gently to my feet and walked to him on the dais.

Applauds and excited cheerings rent the air as I did while I trembled from within.

" Selene Hunter, the orphan of the Hunter family that was wiped off because of their own folly, is the one the moon goddess has given me as a mate!"

He announced.

There was another round of applause and I felt my eyes burn with tears.

My parents had not died out of folly, they had been the unfortunate target of another pack who had come to make war with the blackbone pack shortly before Ulfric was made Alpha and he was able to end the lingering war.

"Selene Hunter is my mate, a privilege the moon goddess has accorded her."

He said with pride.

I stood glaring at him, holding the tears back as he took my hand and lifted it up.

"Selene, you..."

"No!" I heard my own voice reverberate through the halls, making me panic in its wake. My heart thumped wildly and I felt my hands trembling.

"I shall not have you, Alpha Ulfric Nus, for mate!"

I cried. The tears were running down my cheeks now and I stared into the faces of the shocked pack members as they watched with alarm in their eyes.

"I reject you today, Alpha Ulfric Nus. I reject the mate bond and I shall not have you."

He looked at me with eyes cold as steel, letting my hand fall to my side.

"You do not know what you are talking about. You will not reject me."

"I am! I do not want you nor do I want to be your luna!"

" You can not reject the Alpha, Selene!"

A voice called from the crowd.

" That is your life you are putting on the line, don't do it, child.. do not defile the moon goddess! "

" Do not reject the Alpha. No one ever does, child. You are throwing your life away!"

Another voice cried desperately.

I shook my head.

How well they wished me!

I noted with disgust.

It was no use blaming them.. they knew nothing of the monster they called alpha.

" I reject you, Alpha Ulfric Nus, seventh Alpha of the blackbone pack!"

I cried. There was a deafening silence and as I stood heaving, he ordered,

" Take her and throw her into the cell!"
