Desired By The Alpha King

Rejected

Leah's POV

I get up to my feet with so much difficulty but she kicks my legs, and I fall back down. She puts her heel over my neck, and I close my eyes, waiting for the worst.

"What I have to do is press a little harder, and I can take you out of your misery," she said.

I felt Nora growling in my head. She tried to surface but I forced her back In. Suddenly, Nora takes over and I feel a surge of strength within me.

I kick Melissa in the legs and she falls to the ground. Those weak stupid b***h minions of hers scream, but none tries to stop me.

Anger courses through me. I hover over her, punching her face repeatedly. Soon, the men that were training surrounded us. Some were cheering while others were watching silently. A tingling sensation rushes down my spine as I feel myself being lifted off Melissa's body by huge strong hands, but I am not done with her yet, so I kick and scream.

"Let me go!" I scream at whoever is carrying me away from there. I jump off the shoulder of the man who carried me and is ready to punch him in the face, but I'm taken aback to see it is Amos. He looked so sexy in his basketball shorts, his hair is disheveled and goddamn it, his chest is hot as f**k. I can see his muscular body, and I swallow thickly.

"Causing trouble omega?" He asked with narrowed eyes.

"She came at me first," I retorted.

"You'll be punished for what you did. Do you know who she is? She is your f*****g Luna,” Amos growls, pushing me against a tree. I backed up against a tree and winced when the scalding pain smacked my back and I fell to the floor.

He crouches down next to me and looks at me with a softness I've never seen before while I glare at him. His eyes are a shade darker, and I know he is mindlinking someone. He clears his throat and orders

"You will be locked in the dungeon for the coming days," I widened my eyes in horror.

"But she started it!" I yell, tears threatening to spill but I withhold it. I hated showing weakness.

I have been in the dungeon a few times and it is no fun. It's dark and scary, and the guards there are the most immoral. While they beat the male offenders, they sexually assault women they find attractive. It has happened to me a few times but I wasn't r***d thank goodness.

Suddenly, I heard my wolf purr in my head. ‘Mate!’ and I froze still in contemplation. Amos my mate?

"Are you my mate?" I asked, cutting straight to his gaze and I saw the corner of his lips curl to a stupid smile.

He brought his face closer to my ear, “Yes I'm your mate and since it's your birthday I have a little present for you. I hope it cheers you up." He whispered and I raised my brow in confusion. What could he want to give me after almost strangling me. He placed his arms on his chest and whispered, "I Creston Amos reject you, Leah as my mate and future Luna." My chest constricted in pain.

Amos was twenty two years old so he knew all this time that I was his mate yet he watched them beat and abuse me and he did absolutely nothing about it or sometimes even joined them.

Amos hollered, "Guards!" A few guards ran to us, bowing before the future Alpha. Behind them. Melissa is there too, her eyes are red, and her perfect blonde hair is disheveled.

She comes to stand next to the Future Alpha and whispers something to his ears, and after a long thought he nods in acceptance. "Lock her up, whip her every day until I say no more." Melissa's voice is smooth as she orders, but my eyes are fixed on my mate.

Hot tears stream down my face, and I don't have the chance to wipe them. Strong huge hands grab my arms and drag me a few feet away from the couple. Is this the salvation that I have been praying for?

Once in the dark dungeon, they throw me to the ground like a sack of potatoes and exit the room. I feel my chest constrict and my heart burns terribly. I cry for the horrible life I lived since I was born. Why had Serena taken me in? She would have just let me die in the forest.

For a moment I used to think my mate would be the one to take me out of this misery, he would fight for me and protect me as a mate should, but today he has taken away my will to fight, my wolf withdraws to the dark part of my mind, and I howl, feeling more alone than ever.

Days passed by fast, and every day guards came to whip me very painful lashes. I had cuts and tears on almost every part of my body.

I bet I looked disgusting. I am only allowed one meal a day, bread and water, I haven't felt Nora since our mate rejected us. She is depressed and sad like me.

I get up and clutch my chest as I say the words.

"I Vera Leah, accept your rejection , Amos Creston." I don't feel the bond breaking on my side, however, Amos will feel the bond between us breaking and he will experience pain like no other
