1, Hope Ravenclaw, accept your rejection
Hope pressed her hand against her mouth as tears streamed down her cheeks. She couldn't believe the sight before her. Daniel was on the bed with Karla, her stepsister, kissing her. Her clothes were half-loose as she welcomed the ignited kisses from Daniel.
The moment Hope’s eyes met Karla’s, she smirked at her and began moaning Daniel's name in ecstasy. More tears poured down Hope’s cheeks and she didn’t stay quiet.
“Daniel!” Hope shouted her mate’s name.
Immediately, Daniel stopped and turned to look. In front of him was Hope, who was his mate, but he had left no interest in her. In fact, it had vanished a long time ago. The mere sight of Hope’s face would fill him with disgust.
“How could you cheat on me with Karla?” Hope frowned, feeling disgusted to see how they were so engrossed in making love to each other when she was present right in the house.
“Baby, just wait a minute and then we will resume this,” Daniel said as he pecked Karla’s lips. She adjusted her clothes while smiling.
Daniel got down from the bed. “Shut your f*cking mouth! You aren’t my mate. How could you even dream that | will live my entire life with a weakling like you?” he chuckled.
Karla stepped out of the bed, crossing her arms across her revealing dress. “Mark me, Daniel, and show Hope how important | am to you,” she stated with a smirk.
Hope’s eyes widened to hear her stepsister’s statement. No way Daniel would do that. But her last expectation from him also crumbled down as Daniel inched closer to Karla’s neck.
“Daniel, you cannot do that. I-l am your mate,” Hope said, feeling miserable at that moment.
“Il, Daniel Rutherford, reject you, Hope Ravenclaw,” Daniel pronounced, his tone filled with disdain. The next second, his lips found a place on Klara’s neck and he nipped that spot to mark her.
Hope’s heart shattered into pieces, seeing the sight of the marking. Daniel, her mate, marked her stepsister. She felt the excruciating pain at that moment as if her heart would stop in time. Her wolf went numb and she stumbled back.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Hope’s entire world was crumbling down at that moment. Whatever dreams she had seemed to be with Daniel had come to an end. Being an omega, she had always felt weaker, but at this moment, Hope felt like dying.
The marking was complete and both Daniel and Klara glanced at her with agonizing gazes. “Just say that you accept this rejection,” Klara said and walked toward Hope.
“l, Hope Ravenclaw, accept your rejection,” Hope pronounced, not wanting to feel more humiliation. If he thought she would beg him not to reject her, then he was wrong. She could bear all his mistakes, but the way Daniel shamelessly glorified the cheating and called her weak finished the love from her side.
“Get the hell out of here, you b*tch!” Klara then slapped Hope’s face hard. “You deserve to be abandoned by everyone. Your mother also abandoned you and now Daniel did that too!” Klara said with a smirk and walked past her.
Hope had stopped blinking to hear all that. Daniel also followed Klara while chuckling at Hope, who remained standing like a lifeless body.
She placed her hand on her chest, feeling the intense pain of rejection. The tears which were stopped momentarily had flowed down her cheeks again.
Life had always been tough for her. Two years ago when Hope found Daniel, she considered him her world. She did everything he told her to. Abused by her family, she thought Daniel would understand her and love her the same way she did.
However, Daniel also betrayed her. The way he glanced at her before leaving the room showed only hatred in his eyes.
Hope wiped the tears from the back of her palm and ran out of the room. The tears had clouded her vision. She didn’t realize when her feet brought her to the living area.
“Stop! Where are you running to?” her father, Kasper’s voice reverberated in her ears, making her halt abruptly. She wiped the tears from the back of her palm and promptly turned to face him.
“I-| want to t-take...” she stammered instead of giving a clear answer. Whenever Hope would face her father, she began stammering.
“Such a worthless child!” Kasper remarked, causing her heart to ache again. She was already devastated by Daniel’s rejection. “Honey, calm down,” said Martha, Hope’s stepmother and shot a glance at her. “Why do you always make your father upset?” She shouted at Hope.
“Take a seat,” Kasper told Hope, bringing a frown on her forehead. This was the first time her father asked her to sit on the couch. Else, her position was worse than the servant in that house.
She couldn't sit at the same place, where her family would. Neither could she eat with them at the same dining table. Hope would do the household work before attending college or doing any of her work.
“Do you want me to repeat one more time?” Kasper’s furious voice made Hope step up and take a seat on the couch. Martha didn’t like to see Hope sitting on the couch. But in front of her husband, she chose to remain silent.
“Many years ago, the Moore Family had their favors on us. It’s the time we shall return the favor they did on us,” Kasper started speaking with a menacing expression. Hope was confused thinking why her father was talking about that.
“What kind of favors?” Hope’s heart was beating fast in worry and fear. She was already hurt.
She placed her hand above her chest as she again felt the pain. Her eyes were watery again when she heard her father say something, which slipped the floor beneath her.
