Rejected Mute Luna

Helena's Pov My life story isn't the type you would want to hear, it was more of a pitiful one that would make you cry if you dared to listen to it. Some times I'd sit on my bed, thinking and rethinking over my life history and how I got to be what I am now. Most times I'd look up to the sky, silently talking to the moon goddess to come to my rescue. Other girls would say no to mating, but for every visible reason I say yes to it. Today is my birthday and yet I feel like it's just a normal day. I never celebrated my birthday for once, but I lived to watch my younger stepbrother celebrate all the years that passed by. I'm not being jealous of him, I only feel like there isn't justice to this. My father hates me and prefers to show his love only to my stepmom and her son. Not complaining though. It's embarrassing to say nothing in my life goes the way I hoped for it. Always bullied, never loved, never cared for, yet being the only disabled wolf in my pack. Since I was a kid, I couldn't talk. It was said that I was born with a high fever, leading to my dumbness. Though, the doctors say I can be cured but my father has put no effort to see that I get this thing done with. "This money is for your younger brother and the unborn child. So, you better go find yourself a helper to get that throat of yours treated." He would say each time I reminded him of what the doctors said, sometimes I wondered if a father will let his child suffer rather than helping her, He doesn't care about me even when I am in pain. He was feeling too reluctant about my state, like he never even cared how I felt demonstrating my hands in the air each time I wanted to talk. I'd ask myself if truly this man is my father, or could it be that my mother must have handed me to such a heartless man like he is. That's why you don't have to blame me for being this wanting to find my mate. I put on the best dress I can get from my clothes, it wasn't that perfect like the other girls, but it was a lot better than appearing naked. I admired myself in the mirror, I can't wait to be in the plaza already. If only the Moon Goddess can show me mercy this one time and help me, I'd be out of this boring and hell of a house. I know no wolf would like to have a dumb mate like me, they'll probably do whatever it takes to help me out. I boarded a black taxi which drove me to the plaza. As soon as I stepped out of the taxi, the feeling of inferiority complex arose in me. The unpleasant glares shot at me were intimidating, but I tried my best to ignore them, making my way in although I couldn't hide the feelings of being scared wishing everything will go well. The convention is yet to begin, not all male wolves have shown up. I was beginning to imagine if I was too early? I sat at one corner, and some one came to sit beside me. I wasn't giving him a face, I think that's why he had every guts to insult me. "Hey," he said to me. I didn't spare him a glance. "I'm talking to you." He grabbed my hand, causing me to look at him. He knows quite well that I can't talk, but he's only using this medium to make me feel intimidated. It's not a new thing to me, I'm already used to it. "Sorry, I forgot you can't talk." He mocked, leaving with an ugly laughter. Those around bursted out laughing too. "This place is not for lowlives and dumb people like you, you might get hurt." he added and then burst into mocking laughter. He dramatically acted to be dumb, making vocal movements in the air which only made them laugh the more. My teary eyes followed her and for once I felt like shouting to the heavens and questioning the Moon Goddess why she had to create me. I wish my mother was alive, none of these would be happening. Dad won't have to think about getting married to another woman and she won't let all these insults come to me. Though I didn't get the chance to see her, my father once told me she had died while giving birth to me. I think that's where the hatred all started. When it was time for the convention to begin, before then, the plaza was already filled up. Some girls who had desperately wanted this day to.come as much as I do, jubilated. While those who never wanted it, ended up shedding tears. Me on the other hand, I can't express my happiness. I'll just sit quietly and pretend like I never cared. The bell for the convention was finally rung, and every one was ready to.find their mate. I was staring around to find mine. My nose was active to inhale his scent, and I hoped as much as I was determined to find him, he would do the same to me. But then, the atmosphere was filled with growling sounds. I looked around to see red eyes staring hungrily at me. Okay, I know I am dumb, but not some kinda junk food. Why are they staring at me that way? And why are their eyes red in the first place? Is this the level of hatred they have for me, that they want me dead? My body began to tremble as I couldn't explain what the hell was going on. My temperature was burning, and I began questioning myself if this was my last day on earth. And you know what, it's a lot better than it is. Since my entire life has been nothing but mockery and hatred! What's my gain living in this wretched life?! They were coming to my side. There was no way I could run, I was surrounded by hungry looking wolves with red eyes. I don't wanna believe it's what I am thinking. They aren't coming to me because they feel like I am their mate? "Don't come any way closer to me." I said mentally, but they weren't even listening to me. How would they, when they've been taken over by their wolf. "Please, don't. Don't take me." Their fangs were so tall, sharp like the two edges of a sword. I stepped backward until my back made contact with the wall and there was nowhere to go. One of them made his way hasty to my side, grabbing the lower fabric of my gown. He had this scary look that could take the life out of me. "Let me go." I wished my voice could be heard. He transformed into a half human and half wolf, his scary gaze piercing the life outta me. "Mate." He said. My eyes flew open, I didn't hear that well, did I? This isn't me thinking I am actually staring at my mate, is it? Did he just call me his mate? How? "Let's take you home, mate." He grabbed my hand but I protested. "No." I shook my head countless times in refusal to go home with him. Another wolf spoke. "She isn't yours, she is mine." He proclaimed, leaving me in the world of confusion. What the f**k is going on here?! I screamed immensely. Before I could comprehend what was actually going on, I felt more hands hold me. And each one of them were saying the same words to me. "Mate." I think there must be a mistake here. Some thing isn't right here. Why would all the male wolves call me that when there are other girls in the plaza? I don't remember asking the moon goddess for so many mates, and I don't think I ever prayed for a mate this much to have countless of them surrounding me. My dress was at a point where any slight struggle, then I'm naked. I don't even know what to fight for. Either saving myself from the circles of these hungry wolves, or saving my gown from being torn. "Please, there's a mistake. I don't belong… ahhh! I don't belong to any of you." I screamed in distress, as I tried to fight my way out of their grip. I searched around for help, but none was coming my way. They were all watching the terror I was facing. "Some body please help me!" Lucky for me, I saw my father walk in. I waved at him to come to my aid since the scene had drawn his attention. Even though he hated me so much, I felt I'd for one day feel a fatherly love. If not any other time, but today. This very moment I needed him the most. But to my greatest surprise, he didn't bother reaching out. He kept standing where he stood, watching me. Why? Why would he do this to me? I was so bitter at his action that I was going to cry. I also saw the Alpha and Betas walk in. They were caught with what was going on, but neither of them would do some thing about it. It's as if they find this moment less interesting. Why are every one paying less attention to this? The cold expression on the Alpha's face was nothing to talk about. It was emotionless. But I knew if I had to run to him to save me, these hungry bastards wouldn't dare to come any closer to me. "Moon goddess, please give me this last strength to get away from these men." I pleaded. I intentionally fell to the ground, finding every means to get out of these annoying bastards. I crawled through their legs, finally making my way out. I had the mind to run to dad, but I can't. I couldn't. Doing so would be the greatest mistake I have ever made in my life. He'd freely give me out to those love thirsty men, since it was every chance to get me out of his sight. When they found out I had sneaked out, they came after me. I found the strength to run, falling to the feet of the Alpha. I held him by the leg, not wanting to let go. For a moment, I felt safe around him. I felt secure. And with my teary eyes, I looked up at his face. I wished I could say the words with my mouth. But then, they sounded through my mind. "Please… save me."
