The Rejection

Chapter 11

Lyle opens the door to my room and walks over to the bed. I lie there and look up at him, scared for what might happen.

"Sit up princess," he says. I sit up. "Now, I'm going to make this as pleasant as possible for you. This isn't about you or your needs, but mine. The Moon Goddess sent you here for me. Me only." He sits on the bed next to my feet.

"Yes, Alpha," I say. He pulls the blanket away from my body and leans over me. He kisses me slowly. It still isn't how I want him to kiss me but it was definitely more tender than the first time. His tongue glides across my bottom lip, asking for entry. I open my mouth and his tongue explores the inside of my mouth. I don't want to do this but I want to make my mate happy. Maybe if I give in he'll love me.

He brings his hands up to the top of my nightie and rips it in half. He pulls it off me and throws it on the floor. He slips my underwear off and discards on the floor with my nightie.

"My beautiful princess," he says and undresses himself. I stare into his eyes. Maybe he does love me. I cry out as he enters me. I clutch onto his back and he burries his head between my neck and shoulder. I stare at the ceiling as tears streak my cheeks. The pain is unbearable, but I try to ignore it. I just want my mate to be happy. If giving him this will make him happy and eventually love me then I'll deal with the pain.

When it's over he lies next to me. I wipe the tears from my face. He turns me to face him. He kisses my forehead.

"Thank you princess," he says.

"You're welcome Alpha," I say and roll over. He holds me to him. I hope somewhere inside him he loves me. I fall asleep quickly, hoping things will be better in the morning.

I wake up to here Lyle on the phone.

"Fine, okay. I'll see you later," he sighs and hangs the phone up. I sit up and rub my eyes. Lyle looks at me. "Dress nice. My parents are arriving early."

"Yes, Alpha," I say and get out of bed. I'm sore but hold in my whimper as I walk to the bathroom. I turn on the shower and go to the closet.

"Princess," Lyle says. I look over to him. "Wear this." He gestures to a long black dress that had a plunging neckline that lies on the bed. I nod. I pull out a pair of underwear and walk to the bed.

"Yes, Alpha," I say and pick the dress up off the bed. After showering and getting dressed I head downstairs to the living room where Lyle is sitting on a long gray couch. He looks over at me.

"Princess, come sit," he says, gesturing to the spot next to him. I nod and do as he says. At this moment the front door opens and a very luxurious looking couple walk into the house. The woman a tall blonde with strong facial features and the grace of a swan. She is wearing a sundress with a floral pattern on it. The man is tall with black hair and wearing a suit. You can tell he's an alpha just by looking at his strong face and hard eyes. They look over at us.

"Lyle honey! I'm so glad we can move in so early. This place is wonderful. How have you been liking it?" The woman, who I am assuming is his mother, asks. Lyle chuckles.

"It's the same as any other place we've lived mom," he says, standing up and hugging her. His father strides over to us. "Hi dad."

"Hello son, seems you've settled in easily," his father's eyes flcker over to me. "And who might this gorgeous young lady be?" I give a small smile and stand up.

"Mom, dad, this is Carrie. She's my mate," Lyle says. "Princess, come say hi." I walk over and shake his father's hand.

"Hi, it's nice to meet you sir," I say. He smiles.

"Call me Julian," he says. I nod. His mother beams at me. Instead of shaking my hand she hugs me.

"Call me Caroline. Welcome to the family," she says, her eyes examining my features. She spots the bruise around my neck. She leans forward and whispers in my ear. "We'll talk more later."

"Thank you both. For being so kind," I say, smiling. Julian looks at Lyle.

"Son, we have some business to attend to. Let's leave the ladies to have some time alone," Julian says and they walk off. Caroline quickly pulls me over to the couch.

"Let me see you," she says with a concerned face. I let her look at the bruise on my neck. "Are there any other bruises?" I nod. "Let's go to your room." I lead Caroline to my room and she takes off my dress. She examines my bruises on my arms, hips, thighs, and sides. I start to cry.

"I don't know what to do Caroline. I-I try my best to be the mate he needs and he pushes me away and does this. He-he even forced me to give him my virginity last night," I sobbed. Caroline helps me back into my dress and hugs me.

"That no good punk. I don't understand why he's like this. I didn't raise him this way.If anything I raised him to be the exact opposite," she says. "Come. Let's get your make up fixed and we'll meet everyone downstairs for dinner. Belive me Carrie, his father and I will talk to him after dinner." She helps me into the bathroom and helps fix my make up.

"Thank you. I really needed someone to talk to. I love Lyle. I really do," I say. Caroline smiles.

"You're an amazing young woman Carrie. You'll make a great Luna one day. I know you will," Caroline says. I smile.
