His Rejected Luna Strike Back

Emily's..

I slowly opened my eyes, feeling a heavy pain washing over me. As I looked around, I realized I was in a different room, but I couldn't remember how I got there or what I was doing there.

Gradually standing up, I made my way to the bathroom and entered. I stared at myself in the mirror for a moment, deciding to wash my face before heading back to the castle.

It was Lia's 18th birthday yesterday, and I felt sad for her because she hadn't yet found her mate. To lift her spirits, we had decided to celebrate her special day. However, one thing puzzled me: how did I end up in this room?

As I started walking towards the castle, I entered and headed over to the chamber where Drake usually stayed. Instead of finding someone who might be worried, I was met with a gaze filled with anger and hate.

"Where have you been?" His voice was heavy with resentment, as if he held something against me.

"I..." Just as I began to speak, he slammed his foot on the floor and approached me.

"For the last time, where have you been?"

I stared into his eyes, unable to comprehend why he was behaving this way. I had known Drake for many years, and even though he was an Alpha, I had never seen this side of him before. He was usually calm and composed, but today it felt as though I was facing a different person.

He held my hand tightly as he pulled me closer towards him. I yelped in pain as I tried to get away, but his grip on me was so strong that it felt like my hands were burning.

"I will ask you again, Emily. Where are you coming from?"

I stared at him, not understanding where he was going with this line of questioning. He knew perfectly well that I had gone to Lia's birthday party, so why was he acting as if I had been somewhere else entirely?

"I went to Lia's birthday party last night to support her. Why are you doing this? Let me go, Drake."

He pushed me away, and I landed on the floor, looking up at him. Why was he so angry? What had gotten into him?

"Did you go to Lia's birthday party, or did you go there to have sex?"

His words shocked me, and I slowly stood up, staring at him.

"What are you saying, Drake? I went to Lia's birthday party. Why would you think that I went there to have sex, and with whom?"

He threw an envelope at me, and I looked at it, confused.

"I should be asking you that same question. I can't believe a Luna would stoop so low and disgrace me, the Alpha. Not only that, but you have brought shame upon this pack."

I knelt down, picked up the envelope, and studied it for a moment before looking back at Drake.

"Go on, open it and see the shame you have brought upon this pack."

I carefully opened the envelope, a sense of foreboding washing over me as if I were about to discover something that would change my life forever.

Inside, I found a picture and turned it around, only to drop the envelope and stare at the image in shock.

"Now tell me, Emily, is this from the birthday party you attended?"

I glanced up at Drake, unable to comprehend what this image meant. How did I end up here, and who was the man next to me, appearing as though he was embracing me? Why was I asleep in a bed with a different man who wasn't Drake? I slowly looked back at Drake, but before I could speak, he raised his hands to stop me.

"I thought I had found a mate I could call my own, but now I can't believe that I have a cheater as a Luna."

I felt a surge of shock and confusion, unsure of what to say. Who took this picture, and who was the man beside me? Why wasn't his face clearly visible in the image?

"Why would you do such a thing, Emily?" I turned around to see Lia standing behind me.

"What?" I asked, bewildered, as she walked over to me.

"You should be ashamed, Emily. I suggested we leave last night, but you said you had something to attend to. If Alpha Drake asks me, I should tell him you went for a business meeting. I couldn't believe this was the 'business' you were attending behind your mate's back."

I was stunned by her words. Was Lia the one saying all this? What was really happening? I turned to look at Drake, tears streaming down my face, and tried to walk towards him, but he stepped away, blocking my path.

"A disgrace like you is not fit to be the Luna of this pack. You have brought shame upon me, and you are a disgrace to this pack. How could you betray me? You are not worthy to be my mate."

I felt shattered; I didn't know what to say or do. Why was he acting this way?

Then, I remembered the news I was about to share with him – the news that I was pregnant. Perhaps if I told him, things might improve, and we could forget all of this.

"Drake, I know you may not believe me, but the truth is, I didn't do anything wrong. I don't know why that image exists or why I was there, but you have to believe me."

He hit the wall hard as he stared at me. "Believe you? You just expect me to believe you? How can I trust someone who sleeps with whoever she wants? Am I not good enough? I do everything to please you."

I tried to hold back my tears. I knew I hadn't done anything wrong; he was just getting angry for no reason.

"Drake, I have something I've been hoping to tell you... I am pregnant."

Silence filled the room. Then I heard him laugh.

"You're pregnant? I highly doubt that the child is mine. You should go find the father if that thing is indeed growing inside of you."

I stared at him in shock. Why was he telling me to look for the father of my child when I knew that the father was standing right in front of me?

"Drake, what are you saying? You are the father of my child. Why are you acting this way?"

He walked over to me, gripping my neck as if he were about to strangle me to death.

"If you utter one more word about that thing being my son, I will kill you before the sun sets."

He pushed me away and then turned his back on me.

"I regret having a mate like you, and I regret not rejecting you from the start."

As I tried to speak, he yelled, "Guards!"

I watched as his guards rushed into the room. He pointed at me with his back still facing me and commanded, "Take her out of my sight and throw her into the dungeon. I don't want to see her face ever again."

As the guards held me, I attempted to scream, to tell him the truth, to make him believe me. But every word I uttered or pleas I made fell on deaf ears.

Drake..

"Ah..."

I gasped as I threw the vase of flowers onto the floor, watching it shatter. I remembered it was the first gift I had given Emily, and how she had loved it. But not anymore. She didn't deserve gifts or happiness; she was unfaithful, and I regretted ever loving her in the first place.

"Calm down," I heard Derek say, but I didn't even care to listen to him. Inside, I felt shattered and broken as I saw the image of her sleeping next to another man. A different guy who was not even her mate made me angry.

"Why did she have to do this to us, to me? Why did she go behind my back and sleep with other men? Doesn't she know that she is a Luna of this pack?" I muttered to myself, staring at the blood dripping from my hand.

I heard a knock on the door, but I didn't even care to respond to whoever it was. Just then, Lia rushed in with a shocked expression on her face.

"My Alpha, what happened? Why are you like this, and why are you bleeding? Aren't you supposed to heal?" she asked, concern evident in her voice.

I looked at her for a moment but didn't bother to say a word. Walking over to the bed, I sat down and stared at my hands. Why was I not healing? Was it because my emotions were blocking my healing abilities?

"Where is Moses?" I asked her, noticing her shocked expression, and she replied hesitantly, "Your beta is watching over the pack, just as you asked him to, Alpha."

I nodded in response, unable to tear my gaze away from my bleeding hands. Finally, I spoke again, "Go get the doctor to come treat me," I said, trying to endure the pain rushing through me.

"Yes, Alpha."

I watched her walk away, the tears streaming down my face. I couldn't believe that after all I did to make her happy, to show her my love, in the end, all she did was hurt me.

"Why don't you ask her what happened? It might just be a misunderstanding," my wolf suggested, but the more I heard him say that, the angrier I became.

"There is no misunderstanding. She is unfaithful. She deserves to suffer. I know you care for her deeply, but I think it's best you stop too, because soon she will no longer be our mate," I said, my voice filled with bitterness and pain.

Saying that, I closed my eyes and let the last tears fall, feeling my wolf surge forward once more.

"What are you planning to do, Drake? Don't tell me you're thinking of... even though she's pregnant," my wolf warned.

Hearing that, I stood up and spoke firmly, "Pregnant? For who? That child is not ours. Tell me, who is she pregnant for? All our life, we've cared for her, shown her love, and now you want me to just forget everything as if it happened long ago when it just happened yesterday."

My life as an Alpha had never felt so filled with pain and regret. I had never felt like such a fool for making a decision like this.

"No matter what, she is our mate. You need to listen to her. Maybe there's something we're not yet sure of," my wolf urged.

But hearing that only fueled my anger, and I decided not to say another word to my wolf. I couldn't understand why he was still siding with her after everything she had done.

As the door of my room opened, I looked up to see the doctor walk in, bowing respectfully at me.

"You called for me, Alpha. Is there something wrong with you?" he inquired.

I hesitated for a moment, then showed my hands to the doctor, revealing the wounds, causing a look of shock to cross his face.

"But Alpha, you should be healing by now. Why are you still bleeding?" he asked, puzzled.

I remained silent, simply staring at him, conveying my pain and frustration. Understanding my silence, the doctor started tending to the wounds.

After he finished, he stood up and walked away, leaving me alone with my thoughts.

I walked over to the window and gazed at the sky. I could have seen this coming, but now I was just left in the shadows with hurt and regret.

"Why did she do this to me?" I whispered angrily. "She dares carry another man's child and now she wants me to go easy on her. I will make sure to give her the punishment of her life, and she will never repeat such a mistake in her next life."

The pain was so intense, and whenever I thought about the first time I met her, I wished I could have let her suffer and perish. She was a lone wolf, and I had welcomed her, taken her with me after discovering she was my mate. But now she had taken advantage of everything and believed I would become kind to her after the pain she had caused me.

I slowly close my eyes, not wanting to think about the past and the happiness we both shared. I beat down all that's behind me and forget that I even have a mate. I will make her life a living hell, and she will pay for the hurt she has caused me.

"So what do you plan to do now?" Derek asks as I pause for a second and keep staring at my hands. The only reason I want healing is because of my emotions, so the only way I could heal is to put those emotions behind me and address whatever is causing them as well. There is no point in suffering in silence; I must do what is necessary and think about my pack and everything.

"I, Alpha Drake of the Crimson Pack, will reject Emily tonight in front of everyone as my Luna and mate."

Emily..

Ever since I met Drake when I was a lone wolf, I thought I had found happiness. Now I feel that this happiness is about to be taken away. Why do I have to suffer this way? Why did he hurt me for no reason?

I sat there in the dark as I cried, yet no one was there to tell me sorry. If only I knew it would turn out this way, I couldn't have imagined what my fate would be now.

I stared out through the little window and saw that it was already getting dark. I felt lost and like I'm on the brink of losing my mind.

"Relax, Emily, everything will be alright," I tried to tell myself, but it felt like I was even lying to myself. I didn't think that everything was going to be alright.

I could not understand why Lia acted the way she did. She knows full well that I went to her party last night, so why did she say I was going for a business? What business?

I felt as if the ground under my feet was about to give way, wondering how I could handle all this drama and tell myself that everything was going to be alright.

Then, I heard a sound, and I quickly stood up, staring at the door. Maybe it must be Drake. Maybe I can plead with him one more time and hope that he listens to me.

After a while, the door opened, and when I looked, I saw Lia walk in with a smirk on her face as she stared at me.

"Poor you, just look at where you've led yourself. You know, I kind of feel pity for you," she said.

I stared at her, and with anger rising within me, I felt like hitting her. Just as I was about to move forward, the chain on my leg pulled me back, and I glared at her with anger.

"Poor you, just look at how you willingly put yourself in this position to suffer once again. You don't deserve Drake, so I think it's best you suffer," she continued.

Looking at her got me so confused. Why would she speak in this manner when I had done everything I could to be her friend and make her happy? Yet, in the end, she decided to mock me.

"Why are you doing this? You know the truth. Why are you not saying anything?" I asked in frustration.

She chuckled at my words, looked at me, and then spoke, "Yes, I know a lot, and I also see a lot as well, Emily."

Seeing her smirk, it suddenly hit me. I couldn't believe that Lia was behind all that had happened to me.

"You can't be the one, right?" I said, trembling in fear as she just kept on smiling.

"You have always let your emotions being used against you. You always think that if you show kindness to someone, they will reciprocate in kind. Well, you are wrong, and I will make sure you leave this pack. All my life, I have wanted Drake, and I did everything to get closer to him until you came and ruined everything. You are such a fool, and you think I will just let it go like that? Listen to me, Emily, tonight will be the last time you will ever see this pack or this face."

I was so confused about what she was saying. What did she mean that today would be the last day I would see this pack or this face?

"What are you saying?" I asked, but all she did was turn around and walk away, leaving me with a silent response.

I felt scared. I couldn't stop thinking about what she said. Was she trying to imply that after tonight, I would be no more? Was Drake trying to kill me or something?

I sat on the floor, placing my hands over my head, feeling as if I was going crazy. Everything felt like it was turning upside down, and I felt like I was on the verge of losing my mind at any moment.

The darker everything became, the more I felt like this was the worst decision of my life.

"Relax, Emily, everything is going to be okay," I reassured myself, but I still felt scared deep inside of me.

After a while, I composed myself and nodded, deciding to fall asleep and wait for whatever happens to happen.

.

.

I felt a splash of water on my face and quickly stood up, turning to see that one of the guards was standing close to me.

"Get up, the Alpha doesn't have time," he commanded.

I was confused as I got up, my mind racing with thoughts of the danger I was in and where they were taking me, but I couldn't comprehend their intentions.

I was led outside where a large crowd awaited, and I wondered what was happening. Everyone seemed to be shouting insults at me, calling me names like a witch, a traitor, and a disgrace to the pack.

I was pushed to my knees in front of Drake, unsure of what to say or how to feel about the situation.

"Tonight, I am here to bring your attention to the fact that this lady will no longer be your Luna; in fact, she is not even one of us," Drake declared.

I looked at Drake when he said that, feeling confused about what he meant by those words.

"She is nothing but a disappointment, a witch, and a wicked soul who lacks empathy for others' feelings. Today, I stand before you all to make it known that after tonight, Emily Lee, a formerly lone wolf, will depart and return to the life she had before I first met her. She is no longer my luna, and she is no longer a part of this pack."

I was confused and couldn't comprehend what Drake was trying to convey.

"Drake, what are you trying to do? You don't have to do this. I love you," I said in a desperate attempt to salvage the situation.

He turned towards me when I uttered those words, and I could see the anger in his eyes.

"Love? Did you just say love? You don't know what love is, Emily. I, Drake, Alpha of the Crimson Pack, stand here today to announce that I reject you, Emily Lee, as my mate and Luna."

Upon hearing those words, I felt a wave of nausea sweep over me, and I was at a loss for words.
