Rejected, But Mine

The Black Dahlia

Sai bit down her lips bloody to keep herself from screaming. There was this strong feeling as if thick silver shackles tightening around her body. It felt like she has swallowed a hook which is now trying to pull out the truth from her. The more she resisted, the tighter the invisible chains wound around her body. She thrashed and gasped.

"Stop it......", her voice was almost a scream, "Please make it stop."

"Then you know what to do.", Arthit briefly glanced at her as if he was getting bored.

"I....", she began. Her face was wet with tears, sweat, and blood.

"From the beginning.", Kongpob's voice send a chilly sense of menace over Sai.

Sai wished to keep her silence but she knew it was futile, hence she nodded anyway.

"Wut, Kerklai, and I...we were childhood friends.", her chest heaved, her eyes glinting with faint smugness watching the surprise over Kongpob's face.

"I loved him...always been. But he rejected me stating that he is preserving himself for his fated mate."

Then anger crackled across Sai's face like a thunderbolt.

"How could he.....I am the epitome of everything a wolf could wish in their mate......But still I couldn't hate him...after all Kerklai is my only love.", she sighed leaning back on the chair.

Kongpob audibly gasped with a jolt of surprise, almost realizing where this story was leading. He briefly shared a glance with Arthit who blinked his eyes, pacifying his mate.

Kongpob turned on his side to look at her, trying to keep his face as placid as possible.

"Then it's revealed that Wut is my mate. I hated it....I hated myself for not being able to be with the one I truly love.", furious anger flickered in her eyes.

"I started my uphill battle to revoke the bond between Wut and me. Meanwhile I wanted to build the same connection with Kerklai. I've heard about such a method from my grandmother, it was recorded in some stupid ancient book....that only a Demi could possibly perform the ritual.", her face twisted in anger and dismay.

"Once I was skimming through the history books in the college library, then I met her. Chanya listened to my plight and promised to help me.", She took a sudden sharp breath, "I felt lucky myself when she told me she is the future chosen one."

Kongpob felt his mouth dry. Was it impossible that his aunt would be involved? His detest was spreading making it a bit uncomfortable for some guards. Arthit reached out to hold his arm, alarm filling his eyes. The familiar affection in those eyes and touch, permeated through the darkness bordering the omega's heart.

Sai recoiled with a pained look on her face. "No matter what we attempted, we just couldn't succeed. Chanya was dispirited."

"Then that fateful day arrived.", Sai went rigid, her eyed lit with hatred. " Kerklai had to visit the capital for some diplomatic reasons. When he returned, he wasn't alone. He had his mate, Chandra, freshly bonded."

"Turns out, that bitch not only did steal my mate, but also fool and trick everyone...making them believe that she is the chosen one.".

A low snarl came from Arthit throat that Kongpob gripped his hand tightly, to stop his mate from possibly mauling the chained rabid mutt.

Kongpob briefly casted his glance across the room where the glass partitions are present. He knew who all are witnessing the explosion. Along with ex-sovereigns and his granny, it was Wut in the adjacent room.

"But we weren't demotivated... continuing our experiments in secret.", she said.

"Experimenting? What do you mean?"
