The Reject (On Hold)

Chapter 9

My hearts beat even louder as curiosity filled my mind. What do they hope to achieve that they're even willing to reject their mate.

"Several generations ago, rogues are more ferocious and daring. They will attack any pack and trample on them."

"The kingdom even face difficulties in handling this problem." Claude started his story.

"But our pack is one of the biggest and strongest pack in America so no rogue would dare to cross into our territory." Caesar added.

"As the pack grow stronger, we became more ignorant with the rogue situation."

"The fact of rogues attacking our pack never even cross my predecessor's mind. Until that one faithful night, we were all attacked and our pack almost fall."

I've heard Claude story before.

According to the book that I read, several high-ranking members and warriors survive and they start to built their new pack from scratch with the help of the current ruling king at that time.

Caesar decide to explain the rest to me.

"Since then, our predecessor have worked hard to restoring our pack to its past glory and now it's up to us."

"So what's that all got to do with rejecting me?" I questioned them and accidentally using a high-pitched voice.

"We can't let our predecessor's effort go to waste. The both of us need a strong Luna to make this pack even stronger." Caesar looking at me with a firm look.

"You're only a mere servant and judging from your aura, you're not strong enough to lead our pack." What Claude just state made my breathing ragged.

I take a deep breath and process their story. Being the bigger person I decide to give them one more chance.

"Are you sure about rejecting me and accepting Michelle as your mate and luna?" Putting on my disappointed face.

"Michelle is a pure white wolf. She's blessed by the moon goddess herself. Hence, she is worthy to lead our pack alongside us."

Without needing to answer my question, I know that they are dead set in accepting Michelle.

A white wolf is an extremely rare within our kind. Those who possessed this colour, are blessed with agility, power and speed. They could challenge an alpha and still win.

"You used to be our mate. We don't want to see you get hurt, so please back out from this challenge."

"We will talk to Michelle about accepting your submission." Claude plead to me.

"And to humiliate myself even more? I appreciate your concern for me but please, next time, you should keep it to yourself."

They seriously thought that I'm that weak and needing their protection.

"We don't expect you to just surrender without any compensation." Seeing the glint in Caesar's eyes.

"If you decide to surrender, we will make you our mistress. I promise to make our offspring the next alpha."

"I can assure you that you will live luxuriously, more comfortable than your life in the castle."

"But we can't mark you. In order to be Luna, Michelle need our mark." Caesar ended his explanation.

Immediately I burst into laughter, I never laugh this hard my whole life. Every werewolf could possibly hear me from miles away.

They look at me strange as if I grow another head. Without saying anything I just walk away passing them.
