He rejected me

Chapter 5

(Amber's Pov)

"Who sent you?!"

I was very surprised and confused at the way he yelled at me. "What are you talking about?"

He was breathing heavily so that as he walked closer to me, I could feel the air coming out from his nostrils and his aura filled the entire room.

"You know what I am asking you. Do not pretend!" He was seriously pointing at me, almost closer to my eyes that I had to move backward a little bit.

"Don't let me repeat myself" his eyes were turning red. I could sense danger but I couldn't detect it.

"Ezra, can you please calm down and talk to me in a manner I would understand?"

I felt a spark of twinkles on my right cheek. Did he just slap me? My right hand was on my cheek while I gradually looked at him with tears in my eyes.

He walked closer to me and held my neck with both hands, shaking it and pressing it harder, trying to choke me to death. I was struggling, with my hands and legs swindling in the air.

I was trying to catch my breath. I almost saw my death till he released me and I fell on the wall with my back. I was in excruciating pain and at the same time, coughing.

"My back hurts" I managed to say as my face was squeezed in pain.

"You were sent to monitor my pack, right?" He blurted.

I looked at him. "I still do not understand. Nobody sent me" I was breathing heavily this time.

"The Lycan king of the Drewdrop pack sent you to spy on me and my pack! Don't deny it"

I was shocked. Of course the Lycan king was Alpha Joakim Shells but he never sent me. I was beginning to feel like my eyes were seeing more than normal.

"Please, I need help. I am not getting myself" I cried.

"I don't mind you dying. Tell me what you know about him!" He bellowed.

I managed to sit down on the ground to regain some strength because I knew he wasn't ready to help me.

"Alpha Joakim was my rejected mate. He rejected me the day you met me drinking to stupor. I escaped from the pack because I was pregnant and he wants me dead. Nobody sent me"

He growled and came closer to me. I was scared. I was about to plead when he started punching and beating me without minding I was pregnant.

I was screaming and crying for help but Olivia was at the corner sticking out her tinder and using her fingers to bring down her eye bag. I felt terrible.

He sent his guards to bundle me out.

"Please, don't take me away. I have no place to go" I cried. I thought he was taking me out of the pack but then I locked up in the Pack's Dungeon.

I stopped crying when I was thrown inside there. The place stinks and was dirty.

"This is where we keep people like you" one of the guards said.

All my life, I have experience nothing but torture and humiliation. I thought I have come to a place where I will find refuge but Olivia has done her worse.

"Don't worry, you will get out of here soon but there is a problem" my wolfie said.

"What problem?"

"Your mate needs help and am sure he can't find you here"

"My mate? You mean Joakim?"

"Yes"

I became eager to know what was wrong despite he rejected me but it dawned on me that he was in need of me. How then do I leave this place?

My wolfie suggested something to me. I looked around and found a pin. I used it to unlock the key and I stepped out quietly.

Everywhere was dark. I tiptoed out of the dungeon. It seems everyone was fast asleep. I was almost entering through the kitchen door to take some food and escape when a hand tapped me.

I turned around and a hot slap landed on my face. "Who are you to come into my kitchen? Thief!" Oliviaa screamed, waking everybody up.

I felt terribly ashamed when they all gathered and surrounded me with their weapons.

"I am sorry, but I am very hungry"

"Who opened the door for you?" Ezra asked.

I couldn't say my secret incase I will be locked back again so that I can be able to escape.

"You have pushed your luck and you will be punished severely for this. Soon, you will be executed"

I tried going on my knees despite being heavy but I was dragged back to the dirty dungeon.

For three days, I was not given food nor water. I became so weak that I couldn't even stand or even raise my hands.

"You are getting weaker and you need to stay alive for your babies" my wolfie said.

I couldn't reply because I was so weak to speak. Suddenly, the door opened and I saw one of the guards with a plate.

"I was asked to give you this"

My hopes were high that I felt strength within me. I quickly sat upright but then when he lowered the plate, I saw something very disgusting and smelly.

"But this is a spoilt food"

"Do you have a choice?" He growled and locked the door.

The smell was all over that it made me more sick. I used my leg to push the plate aside. I recalled that staying back with my family was much better than what I am facing now.

Although I starve but I still get something to eat in a day. The door opened and it was Olivia. She was holding a long stick.

"I am sure you have learnt your lesson. You can't come to my territory and make the Alpha overthrow me"

I was about to speak when she started flogging my protruding stomach. The pain was so much that I screamed and shouted with my last strength but no help and then I passed out.
