An alpha female? Or a Luna?

Chapter 8 ~ begging for rejection

I stared at the door a bit longer, most probably more than needed. I looked at the door only having images of his bloody back, dripping with the red liquid we call blood.

I was pulled out of my thoughts when the metal door opened to reveal my father. He grabbed me roughly by the arm and pulled me out of the dungeons. Once in the open he started to stare at me and talk, with no emotion evident and the stare which always made me uncomfortable,"what was that down there?" He now had one emotion evident, anger.

"I don't know what you are talking about father." I decided to take the dumb route.

"Don't you dare play dumb with me young lady, tell me what happened down there?!" He now used his alpha tone.

"Nothing father, absolutely nothing! Ok!" I was getting really annoyed with my fathers aggressive tone.

"Don't use that tone with me," I quickly cut him off, "then don't use that tone with me."

Suddenly I felt a sting on my right cheek, it didn't hurt that much as I'm a werewolf however it still pained me. I realised my father slapped me, I looked into his eyes and still saw anger. Tears were threatening to spill, and for the first time I saw how ugly my father can be. My own father, the man who brought me up in life, now trying to wreck me down. How could he? Why would he? Time stood still, it was like I was immune for a split second... I couldn't feel, I couldn't hear my surroundings, I felt still...

My father was waiting for my reaction, and soon enough I came back to my senses, "I try so hard..... so hard to please you......to make you proud and this....... this is my thanks!" I now had tears spilling, but not too much.

He still stared at me blankly; who even was this guy, cause he sure wasn't my father!

"Speak to me! say something?! Stick by your actions, explain, anything?! I demand respect and this - this is beyond me! Everyone thinks they can just disrespect me because I am a female," I was interrupted by my father, "I'm....I'm sorry Kalani, could you ever forgive me." He now started to tear up.

I have never and I repeat NEVER, seen my father cry before. He always was a man who held his emotions in check and once I saw the emotion he was pouring into this, I knew he regretted his actions. I never thought I would be this calm and kind but I needed to forgive him, he was my father after all.

Before I could open up my mouth, the doors to the dungeon bursted open. Leo was now in the open, his wounds now very visible against the harsh sunlight - which was watching this moment with blazing eyes.

He walked over to my father and punched him in the face and spoke with a low voice, "don't you dare hurt her again, she is your daughter and no man should EVER hurt a female!?" Leo's eyes now turned a shade darker than his usual ocean blue eyes, to a stormy sea.

My father looked at Leo in shock, I turned to Leo and started to beg, "please reject me, don't let me go through this pain! I don't want to be loved, I wish to be alpha. Please Leo for me - for everyone - end it now? End this toxic love you have for me because it's suffocating me, please?!"

Now Leo was the one with a stone cold face, I didn't know what he was thinking but I just stayed there in silence, waiting.

Leo's POV

I stared into my mates gorgeous brown eyes, which pleaded. Not a good plead, one that will scar me deeply. She pleaded not to end her but to reject her. In all my time I've been alive I always imagined that me and my mate would have our own happily ever after, surrounded by our beautiful pups however I never thought that it would turn out like this. Why would she want this? Especially for us!?

I looked at her face, her face full of sadness and pleading me to release her from a spell I don't want to undo. Her father who was now behind her wept at what he did to his daughter, and I hope karma gets back at him in a cruel way. I know I shouldn't talk about let alone my mates father but a fellow alpha like that but I hope he does, what he did is unforgivable in my books.  Then my gorgeous mate spoke to her father, "father, you need to leave - I don't want the pack to see you like this." And with that her father went back home.

She turned to me, her gorgeous brown hair which went to the side as she turned her head back towards me. Her puppy like eyes which looked into my soul now plead - like before - and then she spoke. I love hearing her speak, she sounds like angels singing a song in the most delicate way, "I am not going to put you back in the dungeons, you keep on escaping so there is no point," she took a breath preparing herself for what her conditions were, "however you leave now, you do not return back on my pack lands - if you do prepare for war. You will not do anything to communicate with me. You will carry on leading your pack, like I will do with mine." She took a breath as I just stared at her.

"Why?" I asked in a whisper like tone.

"Because that's what I want, and that's what's best for the both of us."

And without another word she went, no goodbyes, no I will miss you, just conditions and a flip of the hair.

Kalani's POV

As soon as I got home I ran to my room, I jumped on my bed and sobbed, what have I done!
