The Alpha’s Rejected Daughter by Humble Smith

Selene’s POV

There are times in our lives when we think everything has begun to align and we have nothing to worry about. We look back and feel satisfied, thinking we have reached that stage in life. We think our dreams have become reality without knowing it was just the calm sea before the storm.

That calm moment was just there to drift your mind away and leave you vulnerable. You aren’t prepared for the worst and aren’t in the state of mind to take what is coming. The word was that it could be your end. The very end of your sweet life.

That night I watched as my first mate was taken away; he was driven in the cart, taken back to his pack in his unconscious state, while my mate held my arms and led me back into the castle.

I felt relief, satisfied that my enemies were facing the hell they had put me through in my life. Lucian had also promised to keep his word about offering the head of Diana to me. He promised me that the demons are people I shouldn’t be worried about because he would make sure to wipe them out the moment they made attempts to hurt me.

Maybe I should have been merciful a bit and told him to send his Lycans to my father’s pack and that of Torian just as they begged in the letters. Maybe I shouldn’t have become cold-hearted and been that innocent girl with a soft heart.

Karma hit me so fast, and when I least expected it, the most painful thing was that it came from the man I gave my whole heart to, the man I was going crazy in love with. The disaster was from the father of my child, and I was unaware of the enemy lurking in the dark.

Two days after Torian left, I didn’t receive any letters or feedback about anything from my father’s pack. I had no idea if Diana attacked or killed him. Not like I cared; I just wanted to know for no particular reason, or maybe I thought I would be happy to hear my father was dead.

It was all s t u p d i t y, Paying evil with evil was against my nature, but I forced it, and the wages came really early.

It started two days after Torian’s visit. Yes, I woke up to a miscarriage; the child that bonded me and Lucian was gone like a nightmare. The blood was evidence that there was nothing in my stomach anymore, but I didn’t believe it,

I didn’t want to believe this was reality, so I visited the hospital, and there they broke the remaining part of my heart with the announcement. My tears couldn’t stop. I cried till I lost my voice and my throat went sour. The pillow of my bed was soaked with tears as I waited in fear to break the news to Lucian, who had gone for a meeting in which he would spend two days.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

The next day came really fast, and when I heard his voice on his return, my heart began to race. There was no joy in hearing his voice because I didn’t know what to expect when he hears what happened.

Right on the bed in our room, I sat, my face buried in my palm, as I sobbed while he walked in. His footsteps are approaching me.

I expected him to call me those pretty pet names he always calls me, then ask me what happened with his tone filled with care and love, but all that didn’t happen; instead, with a gruffy voice, he asked.

“Where is my child? Gone already?”

I flinched, looking up in so much shock that it left my mouth hanging and my eyes widening, but when I saw his dead expression, I realized there was more to be shocked about than his statement.

Something was amiss; that softness and warmth that are embedded in his eyes were nowhere to be found, and he was staring at me like a stranger, someone he wasn’t that familiar with.

‘Don’t call my name, and stop putting up the acts like you are actually shocked. You are just filled with anxiety and disbelief that I might have found out who you truly are.” He shook his head and turned to the mirror as he loosens his tie and unbuttones his shirt.

“I am confused, baby.” My voice was barely above whispers as I stood to my feet, realizing it was actually serious-something bad had happened that l’had no idea about.

“What happened to the baby? Tell me the truth. Don’t tell me it’s a miscarriage, because I don’t see what should cause it. I did everything for you. I pampered you and loved you.” He hissed, shaking his head.

“What is wrong with you?” I asked, feeling totally confused, and just then the door opened, and his mother walked in with tears in her eyes. She stomped towards me and landed a slap on my face.

“Why? Selene, or whatever your name is, why will you do that to my son? Why?” She yelled in a broken tone, and I was just looking, not knowing what to say because no one was telling me what the hell was going

on.

“Is the vampire king’s son better than my son? Okay, let’s say he is better. Does it warrant you taking the innocent child’s life at his request? But how will you prefer that guy to my son? Is that how s t u p i d you are, and to think you were close to being the queen to take over me?”

“Ma’am, I have no business with the vampire king son. I swear, I have never met him.” I said, making sure I sounded entirely honest because I wasn’t lying and I don’t know how to actually make them believe me.

Whatever made them draw this conclusion must have been clear evidence, especially Lucian’s mother, a woman who really trusted and loved me.

“You went to the hospital to check if the child was truly gone, then you made sure no maids were following you and claimed you wanted to be alone just so you could go meet him. You were that desperate, so why did you act like you loved me?
