Alpha's Rejection is My Breakthrough

Chapter 2

Yuna POV

They must have been returning from alpha training and celebrating when they caught a whiff of my pheromones. That was the only explanation for why they came at us so aggressively.

Their eyes, hungry and predatory, raked over my body from behind Alton.

They had recognized me by my scent, the cursed one, and I had identified them as alphas from their training jackets.

I don't want any trouble. I'll take her home. You guys enjoy your drinks. Alton said, nodding at their bottles, though it was clear they wanted something more than alcohol.

Come on now, I can sense your aura. You're an alpha too.

The tallest alpha hissed, stepping closer to Alton's face. He was so tall and broad that it looked like he could crush Alton with ease.

And what are you doing with someone who doesn't even have a wolf? He sneered, having picked up on my human scent.

Alton, I whimpered, stepping behind him and clutching his shirt, trembling with fear.

The young alphas were intimidating, huge, imposing, and clearly not in control.

Step away. That's an alpha order. Alton snarled, but one of them broke into laughter.

At that moment, I realized coming here had been a mistake.

They already knew my body was in heat, and now they were too driven by my pheromones.

But I held out hope Alton was an alpha, and surely his command would be respected.

Are you sure you want to be known as the alpha who mated a wolfless creature who gives off such a filthy scent that she drives men wild around her.

The tallest alpha taunted, placing a hand on Alton's shoulder. His voice loud enough for me to hear. He seemed to be the one leading.

Alton, let's go. I begged, tugging on his shirt, but he shook his head, conflicted.

The alphas were stepping closer. Now, too close. Desperate, I snatched the pendant from Alton's hand and quickly fastened it around my neck, praying it would stop them.

Too late. One of the alphas sneered, laughing cruelly, with or without your scent.

We want you tonight. The leader's eyes remained locked on Alton, daring him to act.

Alton. I shook him again, trying to hold his hand, but this time his fists were clenched tightly, making it impossible for me to intertwine our fingers.

Look at her. She's cursed and shameless, a woman flaunting herself in public, ready to release her pheromones. Would you ever want to make a woman like her your

Luna, the alpha taunted, and that's when I noticed Alton turned slightly towards me.

Our eyes met, and for the first time, I sensed the depth of trouble we were in.

What are you thinking, please? Let's go home.

I mouthed silently, hoping he would snap out of his silence, but he remained frozen, unmoving.

I was beginning to fear Alton, too.

The moon goddess seemed to give us one last chance when a train arrived and stopped briefly at the station.

All Alton needed to do was stand up for me and walk with me onto that train. Once we were back in our pack, I promised myself I'd never come to places like this again.

But my hope for surviving the night shattered when Alton did something I never expected.

The alphas watched him closely as he slowly hunched over, picked up his jacket, dusted it off, and began walking away.

Without me.

In that moment, my world crumbled. My body froze in shock before I scrambled to my feet, only to have my arms seized by two of the alphas.

Let me go. I screamed. He stepped into the train, and the glass doors began to close. What are you doing?

Why are you leaving me with them? I cried out, watching him through the glass as tears welled up in my eyes. He stood there.

Watching us. The door shut in his face. We could still see each other.

You could still see me.

You are ours tonight. The alpha's voice slithered into my ear.

They pushed me roughly against the wall, and I realized with dread that my boyfriend had left me to the mercy of these alphas.

As they surrounded me, the one with grey streaks in his hair pulled out a camera and pointed it toward me.

Let's all have some fun, shall we? He said with a sick grin, while the big guy signaled his friends to grab me.

They pinned me against the wall as one of them began filming.

It was going to be a long night, a night that would change everything for me.
