Diana 's POV
"I reject her."
There were no emotions in his voice and I felt more than humiliated. What did he mean by rejecting me?
"Zane?" I called softly. "It's me, Diana ."
"I know who you are, you slut!" He yelled. My face burned red, and I was embarrassed. How could he call me a slut before everyone?
"This girl sleeps around. And she collects money from men after sleeping with them. She forced herself on me last night at the party held in my father's company, and coerced me into giving her a thousand dollars." He announced.
I knew it. That was why my guts refused me to collect the money. I didn't even know what to say, I had nothing to say. Absolutely nothing. Where was I going to start?
"Zane, you're hurting me, stop," I begged softly.
I could see the disappointment on my aunt's face and the disgusted looks on the faces of the guests.
He turned to me, staring me in the eye.
"I don't do it twice." He whispered to me. "You were foolish to have believed me so easily. That tells a lot about how lost you are."
"I reject her as my mate." He announced.
Everyone had the same reaction as they did when the first girl was rejected. It meant nothing to them, the ceremony continued. I didn't know where to hide my face, so my aunt snuck out from the guests and went to the car to wait for me.
Sad and heartbroken, I left the ceremony. My dress felt too restrictive and I pulled at it angrily, it tore. I didn't even care. What was there to save? What dignity did I have left?
Dora was quiet all through the ride home. I could see how embarrassed she was, she was seething in rage and she could barely restrain it. We got home, and she parked the car and bolted out of it. She marched into the house.
I sighed. My eyes welled up with tears. What was I going to do with my life now? Would I stay without a mate? Was that even important at this point? What could I do to save my dignity?
I had no choice but to come out of the car. I went in to meet her pacing the sitting room.
"Aunt I can exp-"
"Shut the f**k up, Diana !" She yelled. "God!"
"Where did you meet the Alpha's son?"
Alpha's son? Was Zane also the Alpha's son? No wonder people had given her such disgusting looks. When the other girl had been rejected, some sympathized with her. I even heard another girl say she found her second chance mate before leaving the ceremony.
Was it because I was rejected by the Alpha's son? Was that why everyone was disgusted with me?
"I met him at the party last night," I answered softly. "I did not know he was the Alpha's son."
"Was that why you forced yourself on him? Huh, Diana ? Is that what you do? Pretend to be introverted whereas you are just a"
I closed my eyes and the tears fell. I don't know why she didn't complete it but I already knew she was about to call me a slut. I couldn't help the pain I felt in my heart.
"I never forced myself on him, Zane met me when I was up on the roof alone. He kept complimenting me, and then we danced and I drank too much. I got carried away by the things he said to me." I explained.
"He asked me to accompany him to a quiet place saying that he had just rented a house and he wanted me to come and check it out with him."
"He asked me to go on a date with him today but I turned him down for the sake of the ceremony."
"Aunt, Zane is the first and only man I have ever been with, and I didn't even force him. I didn't even ask. He asked, so he compelled me to do it with him."
Dora stared at me. She felt sorry for me.
"It doesn't matter now. He is the Alpha's son, they will believe him over you."
I sobbed. "I'm sorry Aunt. I never meant to bring shame to you like this."
She sighed. She walked over to me and pulled me into a hug. Then, I missed my mother. If she were to be alive, Zane would have never treated me so wickedly. I cried my eyes out and I didn't stop until I started feeling light-headed.
"Go in, have a shower, and rest. I don't think you should leave the house any time soon."
"Everyone will be ready to antagonize you. You have to remain indoors until the rumors die down."
I nodded. I went up to my room but I couldn't sleep. I sat down on the floor before my door and cried all the more. I felt even more light headed and everywhere suddenly became hot all around me.
I felt nauseated. Hurrying to the toilet, I threw up and emptied my guts. After that, I bathed and lay in my bed. I stared at the ceiling for so long until I fell asleep.
It had been two weeks since that incident, and I noticed some changes in my body. I would occasionally feel fatigued even after doing nothing. I would sweat this minute and catch a cold the next.
Everything was just different for me. Tired, I walked to my aunt's room. I think she needs to help me get a doctor.
"Aunt D," I called. I entered her room and she tapped the bed for me to sit.
"I don't feel so good. I feel fatigued when I do nothing, I feel nauseated and most times my temperature changes rapidly." I explained. "Do you think you could call mAm1qe a doctor?"
She stared at me. Grabbing my arm, she turned my wrist to face her and she placed her thumb on my vein. She turned to me wide-eyed.
"Diana , you are pregnant." She said,
"What?"
