Alpha's Rejected Luna

The Exchange

The Exchange!

"Hey, Amanda. I can see you're doing the dishes. I need you to stop doing that. Go get dressed and come with me immediately.

We need to go see the Alpha at this moment. One of his staff showed up yesterday and invited me to help him serve some guests today at the Royal Castle." Jones told Amanda who was still focused on what she was doing. Despite retiring to sleep the previous night in starvation, Jones made her wake early to do the house chores while he monitored her.

He despises her and treats her like a piece of trash. Nothing about her ever mattered to him anymore.

Living with Robert was hell for her. Life was completely meaningless for her. Every day, she wishes to just take her life and end the everlasting torment.

"Are you sure about this? I was home the whole day yesterday and no one showed up. What time was that? I could have missed that part. Besides, why is Chloe not coming with us?" Amanda protested and questioned the ingenuity of Robert's claims. She was home all day yesterday and could swear no one showed up. Somehow, she feels Jones might be telling a lie just to lure her into danger.

"Are you indirectly calling me a liar? You're in no position to argue with me or my orders. What do I stand to gain by lying to you? I know what I'm talking about. Go get dressed. You can't be seen like this near the Alpha looking wretched and unkempt. Who would look after the house if Chloe came with us?" Jones clapped back to instill fear inside her.

"I don't wish to argue with you. Even if you're right on this one, can you at least wait until I'm done with the house chores? I'm not done yet, brother. Remember, you instructed me to finish up before mid12 am The Alpha's quarters are a long distance. I might collapse before we arrive there. Can I please eat something before we go? I'm starving.” she pleaded as she frowned her face. Her once fat neck had suddenly become thin as her skin was gradually fading away like the evening sun. She's just a teenager, yet looks older than her age.

"To hell with you, girl. I don't like it when you argue with me. Is the motherfucking thanks I get for taking care of you after the death of your parents? This trip would fetch us more money. Do I need to explain everything to you? If it wasn't for your friend Stephanie, I wouldn't have agreed to let you live with us. It all seems to me like I made the biggest mistake in letting that happen.

When I talk, you listen. You'll go inside, have your bath, get dressed and come with me. Is that understood? I don't wanna repeat myself," he threatened and forcefully grabbed Amanda by the arm, almost hurting her. He doesn't give a doubt if she perishes in starvation. He was only concerned about the $10k he intended to receive from Raymond after selling her off.

She obeyed and dashed back inside to freshen up. In a few minutes, she was outside looking slightly better than the last time. Even though she looked skinny, malnourished, and pale.

"This is what I'm talking about. You look more human now. Get in the front where I can see you. I don't trust you a bit. You might run off in the blink of an eye," he s*****d her head and pushed her to the front.

"I haven't been to the Alpha's royal Castle before. How do I possibly lead the way? We might get lost. I suggest you stay in front while I follow," Going against his command, she frowned and folded her hand. Jones was speechless.

"Dad, where are you two going?" Chloe stepped outside and rubbed her blurry eyes. She just woke up from sleep and found them stepping outside.

Amanda was relieved after seeing her step-sister. She knew Chloe's presence may alter their movement to the Royal Castle.

"We need to visit the Royal Castle for a special occasion. Stay back and watch over the house. You don't have to come with us," Jones instructed. Chloe attempted to argue but her father cautioned her, leaving her with no option but to dash back inside her room.

Amanda was sad. Her hopes were dashed after seeing Chloe go back inside. She wanted to speak but the words were too heavy to emanate from her lips.

Halfway through the journey, Amanda got tired and lamented about the long walk to the Royal Castle.

The sun was gradually cementing the sky. Aware of the promise he made to Raymond the previous day, Jones didn't argue or drag words with her. He simply pointed to the front and spoke in a soft tone. "Okay. You can lead the way." Immediately, she obeyed as though she were controlled like a robot.

After a brief stroll, she got exhausted again and pleaded for them to return home. She fell to the ground and cried out. “I'm damn thirsty and hungry. Please can you get me some water? I might die of starvation. Please, help me. “

"Can you please stop being lazy like a tortoise and walk faster? You are dragging us back and it's not cool. The Alpha's quarter is just a stone's throw. Get up and walk your goog. We've come a long way to quit now. Come on, you can do it. We can't afford to lose this opportunity. Remember the Alpha doesn't like being kept waiting," he commanded with a shout.

"No, I can't do this anymore. It's absurd. I don't care how the Alpha feels right now. I need to rest a bit. I'm so exhausted right now. I can't do this anymore. Do you wish me dead?” She refused and remained on the ground.

"Okay, fine. I'm not even arguing with you this minute. Your wish is granted. You've got less than five minutes to rest. I believe that should be enough to regain your lost strength.” For the very first time, he agreed to do it her way. She has never for once, disobeyed his orders.

After a few minutes of relaxation, Hector stretches his hand. “It's time. Be on your feet,”

"Wait a second. Why are you so interested in meeting the Alpha? You look so excited and desperate. Is there something you are not telling me? What are you up to? I doubt if it's just a special occasion," She raised the concern after discerning the excitement beaming on his face.

"I already explained to you a thousand times before. The Alpha invited us to work for him. We both know how important this money is to us. Enough of the questions already. Would you get up and continue this journey with me? The sun is gradually setting out," yet again, he brainwashed Amanda.

She frowned her face and stood up from the ground as they proceeded with the journey. She couldn't detect his lies and pretenses.

"Here we are. Stay right here and get the rest you can. I'll just go inside and notify the Alpha of our presence,” he instructed as he gestured to Raymond's room and announced his presence.

“Alas, Someone has fulfilled his promise. thought you'd never show up. Thank the moon goddess you showed up. Where is she? Take me to her immediately.” Raymond demanded.

"Hey, not so fast. If you keep rushing you might break a tooth. I fulfilled my promise, how about you do the same?" Jones initiated.

"Promises my foot? What the heck are you talking about?"

"Where's my reward for fetching the Alpha his prize," Jones reminded him.

"Oh," Ray sighed. He went inside and returned with an envelope.

“There is $10k. Now you got what you wanted. Don't you dare play games with me? Now take me to her immediately.” With a boiling temper, he requested violently.

“Take a chill pill while I lead the way. And please, Amanda is just a teenager. She deserves to be pampered like Luna. I know how aggressive the Alpha could be, but please, Amanda is too fragile. Now come with me.” Jones leads him to where Amanda is seated.

“There she is. Isn't she pretty? You ought to have paid more for her. hahahaha. She's all yours now! The Alpha will be so proud,” He pointed at Amanda while he walked away smiling, knowing his mission had been completed. Raymond ensured Lilian was well monitored while he went to call Donaldson.

Several minutes have gone and neither Raymond nor Jones has returned. Amanda was scared and worried at the same time. No one told her it would turn out this way. If only Amanda knew her way home, she wouldn't have hesitated to leave immediately.

Suddenly, Donaldson and Raymond, his BETA, showed up.

"She's not looking bad. Even though I expected more. Worried about your Father?" The Alpha asked after meeting Amanda for the first time.

"He isn't my Father.

He's my stepfather.." She cleared the air.

"Although, I'm worried why he hasn't shown up. Where are the guests?

We are supposed to come work for the Alpha. He told me to wait here while he went to call the Alpha. Hold on a sec, are you the Alpha Donaldson he talked about?"

"Hmm!" Donaldson nodded in response.

"I had no idea. Where's he? He's supposed to return here with you. Is he safe? What happened to him?" She asked in fear. Seeing the Alpha scares her but she tries to conceal the fear and act friendly.

"So nice of you to care about someone that doesn't give a damn about you. What a waste of generosity. You don't have to worry about him. He won't come back. He already got paid after selling you to us. It was nice doing business with him. I'm surprised you weren't aware. What am I even saying? I bet you wouldn't be here If he had told you. Your mission here is to birth me a son. So you see, it's not that difficult, is it?” Donald disclosed.

"Birth you a son? I don't manufacture children. He must have lied to you. What makes you think I can give birth to you one? This is unreal. I can't believe I was tricked. He never mentioned this to me. I'm just a teenager. What could I possibly offer to you? Isn't it a slap in your face? I think the Alpha deserves better.” she protested, facing the ground. She was scared to look into his face. His presence scares the living daylight out of her.

“Come off it.

You're in no position to decide what's best for the Alpha. I've made my decision and there's nothing anybody can do about it. Now you need to freshen up. You're so disgusting. Tonight, we are making a baby. So brace up. Be on your best behavior.” he poked fun at her and instructed his BETA to take her away for a thorough body wash.

She accepted her fate since she couldn't do anything to salvage the situation. She was shown to her room, where she had her bath and ate like an overfed cow. Not only that, but she didn't blame Jones for betraying her. Rather, she saw this as nature taking its place in her life. She can't recall the last time she had a cool bath or ate a proper meal. It's more like a blessing in disguise for her.

************

The night was calm as usual.

Amanda shuffled to her window, narrowing her gaze at the stars in the sky. She'd be summoned to the Alpha's room to make love with him shortly.

"Are you in? You need to stay fit.

The Alpha demands your presence in his room. Prepare yourself for the hour that has arrived to make a baby with the Alpha.” Raymond announced as he landed a knock on her door. She wasn't surprised because she knew it would surely result in this. With an ocean of tears dripping from her eyes, she stepped out with fear and anxiety lurking around her face.

"What are you still waiting for? You can leave. We wish to be left alone. You'd be called when needed.” he dismissed Raymond. She was completely lost and not conscious of what was happening around her.

"What are you doing? Don't stand there staring at me like a dummy. Do what you were here for. Of course, you know why we are here.” he shouted at her. The atmosphere was quiet on her soft palms, and she shivered like a hen drenched by rain.

After the s*x, he discovered she was a virgin.

“Now this is the part I detest.

Why did you have to lie to me? You never told me you were a virgin,"

"Well, you never asked. Now you know why I acted that way. You want a baby right? You shouldn't be concerned about my virginity. It shouldn't be a problem for you,"
