REJECTED BY THE ALPHA KING: Plight Of The Phoenix Princess

Chapter one.

Subtitle : HER NIGHTMARE

Melanie was at it again.

She was yet in the middle of an empty desert.

It was dry and carried around a banished humor.

She was scared to the teeth.

It was cold and freezing.

She had just a hood on and a pair of torn dirty sandals.

It was a rough thing to encounter.

The breeze churned at her ears as it made angry sounds.

She shuddered and bite her lips.

It was as if someone was seeing her.

"who's there? "

She asked.

Her voice echoed in the dark as it made multiple more voice as it echoed along the way.

"pleaseee don't harm me... I just want to pass.. "

She added.

There was a sudden fuss in weather. It got too breezy that her hair was flying around in four different directions.

Her cloths fought to hug her body as it flew along.

A huge and dark figure appeared in front of her.

It was so huge that she almost fainted.

The beast was huge and looked like it had wings.

She whimpered and moved backwards.

With every step she takes the beast takes one after her.

And when the beast spoke it has the most unusual voice ever.

It was as sweet as a flute bread and was as melodious as her mother's lullaby.

She widened her eyes in surprise.

"hmmmm. How long would it have taken you to find me? "

The beast asked.

She cringed.

"please don't eat me... I'm just gonna pass here and I won't come back again... "

She muttered still going back.

"pass to where? I've waited nineteen years for you to come to me and now you want to pass? How redundant!"

The beast was angry as it reflects in its feminine voice.

Aurora could tell the beast was female from the way it talked so sweetly yet it's dark figure betrays it's sweet voice.

She still couldn't pin point what it was exactly.

"who... Who are you... Please do not eat me. "

Aurora added as she tripped on a stone and fell on the sand.

She crawled back.

"I won't eat you. I am the legendary fire phoenix and queen of the Phoenix deserts.

It's being thirty years since I recoiled here after loosing my fire bird.

I'm too old and have a little more days to live.

You are my next of kin and also the last. You have to take over from me before I die! "

The beast snapped and Melanie almost fainted with confusion.

"No please I don't know what your talking about please.

Do not eat me.

I don't know you.. "

She was brazed to the bones.

The beast was annoyed.

"shut up! "

The beast snapped and Melanie yelled and fell to the floor.

"I'm your queen and you don't have the right to talk back at me. Your just a phoenix princess. You must do as I say!"

The beast snapped again and Melanie closed her eyes.

It looks like she won't be able to escape from the beast.

"if you really want me to believe you then you should show me what you look like. "

She gathered some caurage and speak up.

"right. "

The beast replied and a sudden red fire enveloped it making the wild desert go windy again.

Melanie covered her eyes as she couldn't look at the beast.

It was too bright.

"look! "

The beast ordered.

She turned to face the beast and then.....

Whoops!

A bucket of cold water was thrown right at Melanie's face as she jerked and woke up from her scary slumber.

She was some what thankful to the water for waking her up or she may pass out while in the dream.

"what the heck is wrong with you stupid girl. Get the f*ck out of this rotten bed and get my cloths ready for the ceremony.

How can you sleep so late as if it's your house! "

The angry voice of Quinn.

Her half sister lingered hard in her ears after the water that was thrown at her hit her face.

"I'm coming.. "

She muttered as she fought back the tears that gathered in her eyes..

She really was a slave to them wasn't she?

"well you better be or else you'll get it from me. "

Quinn sneered and walked away after dumping the bucket right on Melanie's laps.

Melanie faced palmed herself as soon as Quinn left and burseted into tears.

She would always be treated as a slave in her own fathers house.

Bad news!

Melanie sighed as she fed her mother another spoon of vegetable soup.

She had prepared her 20 year old twin step sisters for the crowning party and they had left along with her father and Jaxon, her brother.

"ain't you joining them... ?"

Her mom asked.

She smiled and readjust a strand of hair from her mothers face.

"you know I'm not allowed to go out.

I've never attend a function before.

Father is ashamed of me as a daughter that what wouldn't see me.. "

Melanie sighed.

"it was not your fault sweetie. You don't plan for me to be attacked by the evil wolf king. I just hope he doesn't come here again or we'll all be doomed. "

Her mother sighed.

"even of you didn't get confiscated to this bed I would still be hated. I am the only girl without a wolf. Dad is a beta to the former Alpha king and Jaxon will be next to the new king. My two sisters have amazing fighting skills and huge wolves but me? I've got nothing.. "

She trailed off and dried her tears for the umpteenth time.

"you've got me baby... "

Her mom smiled at her.

"you should really attend the ceremony. It's not everyday that a new wolf king gets crowned. Just have fun for the first time in your life. Forget about your father. He can go to hell for all I care.. "

Her mom said.

"I was also thinking of sneaking out to catch a glimpse of the new king... I heard from Candice that he's handsome.. "

Melanie cooed and smile at her mother..

Candice was Quinn's twin. And she was far worse than her sister.

"silly girl... Get going before its too late. I'm all cleaned up now. "

Her mom hushed her off.

Melanie smiled and left the room after clearing the plates.

'time to attend a function in my nineteen years of life. I just hope I don't get caught! '

She thought as she left the room.

Chapter two.

Subtitle: The Alpha's Weak Mate.

** still on general POV **

Melanie hurried through the woods on her old bicycle.

She was late for the ceremony and she didn't care.

She just wanted to get a glimps of what the new king looks like,

Nothing much.

As she approached the huge crescent garden which was filled to the brim with people.

The garden was decorected beautifully and people chatted, walked around and talked.

Some had glasses of wine In their hands.

She hurried and hid the bicycle behind some thick bush.

She dusted her clothes as she walked out of the bush.

"her hoodie was pulled to cover her face in an attempt to avoid being seen.

He bred eyes glimmer in the dark as she stared and walked towards the left where some of the teenagers present where seated.

Most of them were her classmates in highschool.

She could remember how they used to mock and bully her to the core.

Until she left school and dropped out of course.

She hid herself and avoided being noticed by them.

She could see her father, step mother and sisters seated elegantly at the front row of the VIP seats.

Of course they were VIP.

And the look on their faces where priceless and arrogant if you look closely.

The ceremony had already begun and the crowned alpha prince was asked to step out to the crescent ring as to the orders of the chief witch of the pack.

Melanie fought to stand on her toe amongst many people just to catch a glimpse of the prince.

He was way handsome and good looking than she had imagined he would be.

He hard a dark long hair that hung down to his shoulders, that was the first feature one will notice about him the moment he or she sees him.

And then his fiery yet fierce black eyes were also a vibrant facial feature that matches his cold non-smiling face.

He had a very pointed thin nose and a very sharp and hazy jawline that struck his face.

He had the combination of a handsome CEO and a dirty and dangerous mafia lord.

"aaaaaawwwwn..... He's the cutest guy I've ever seen.. "

She heard a girl cooed from besides her and she shook her head.

"yeah.. And his height.. OMG, are you sure he's not seven feets tall? It looks like he can totally divide my height in two halves. "

Another girl replied as she stared at the alpha dreamily.

Melanie watched from the corner of her eyes.

"seriously. Yes he's cute. But you all gotta stop dreaming... He's gonna find his mate here as soon as he is fully made the king and you'll all have to watch him get all lovey dicey with her. Respect yourselves."

A guy snapped besides the girls and the kept quiet amidst grumbling.

Melanie almost laughed out from the absurd look on their faces.

The pack witch brought out a bowl as Melanie could see.

She cute open the prince's palm and dipped it inside the bowl to make his blood mix with the whatsoever was in the bowl. Melanie had never attended functions like that so she had not idea what was going on.

The witch waited for the blue moon to come to full view before stepping back from the crescent ring.

There was a loud cracking sound of a bone snapping as the alpha let out a gruffy and painful yell.

It cracked again two more times before he started to transform.

Everyone was curious.

She watched as the he soon shifts into a huge and tall mid night black wolf right under the blue full moon.

Everyone chanted as his wolf made a loud cry.

"awoooooo! "

It went as loud as possible and it echoed in the whole woods.

It was a beautiful and lovely big wolf.

Everyone was memerised at the sight of his wolf.

He was the legendary black wolf everyone has being waiting for.

He was the alpha of all alphas.

"awoooooo! Awooooooo! Awoooo! "

The pack was beginning to yell after him even though they haven't shifted.

The crowd calmed down after some minutes of noise.

After about thirty minutes of some inaudible words form the witch and some other people the time came and the prince was crowned the king.

A piece of clothing was used to cover him from the audience covered him as he shift back to his human form.

He was given a new set of cloths to wear as his old ones were already torn from the painful shift he just experienced.

"hello friend. I'm Zack. Your me and I'm you! "

His wolf talked to him for the first time.

He was delighted to meet Zack.

"and I'm Ryker,your ultimate boss! "

He said in his alpha tone.

His wolf sighed.

"what type of senses human body did you give me goddess. It looks like I can't be able to control myself anymore. "

Zack chit chatted in Alpha Rykers ears.

"it's seems like you've chosen to give me a hilarious and chatty wolf goddess. I hate noise but here we are."

Alpha Ryker replied Zack in a sarcastic tone.

"with the power vested in me by the seven forces of the universe.

I Latisha, witch of the crescent moon pack thereby crown you Ryker Austin Dante as alpha and king over the eleven western pack! Long live the wolf alpha king! "

The witch chanted and the people present followed suite as a crown was placed on his head.

He looked aloof and Melanie was sure of that.

She could see as Jaxon walked up to his friend and and patted his shoulders.

He was talking to him which Melanie could not hear.

But it was strange to her how fascinated she was by the looks of him.

It was true he was handsome,good looking and cold.

Every lady will swim toward him at first sight but hers felt awkward.

Surprisingly she could feel his breathing and scent.

He had a woody and fresh mint scent that she couldn't help but sniff to but then the question was,how did she know it was his scent?

There were a hundred of people present and it could be anyone but something in her drowned her to his scent.

She has never had the ability to know the scent of werewolves because she wasn't one herself.

But today she could feel his scent.

It was dominating.

It was soothing and savouring.

In a bit she forgot she was supposed to hide away and not get caught.

She closed her eyes and drew in his comforting scent that seemed to have brought her a lot of ease and a sense of belonging.

She kept her yes closed for a minute as she was too drowned to his scent.

She had completely loose track poof time as his scent was making her go made.

She wanted to touch him,feel him and be close to him.

She could hear people murmuring slowly and she opened her eyes slowly.

What she saw shocked her to the bones.

The alpha king was walkong towards her in a cold and aloof way.

He took gentle and dominating steps.

He was looking at her carefully as if checking for something or someone.

She was certain he was coming towards her.

She panicked and hide her face more in her hoodie.

Taking back slow steps.

He did not stop, instead he walked more towards her.

People around where starting to talk loudly of the possibility that she was his mate since all alpha kings where supposed to find their mates the day they shift and are crowned king.

Not all but most of them find theirates on their crowning ceremony.

She was terrified and felt weak to the bones.

As she looked btowards where her father and sisters where and what she saw added to her fears.

Her father, step-mom and sisters where on their feets and where looking bemused and terribly annoyed.

Her brother who was besides the new king as he walked towards her was in shock also.

Just what the f*ck is going on?

In a swift she turned around and did the one thing she could think of doing-run.

She took to her heels and ran as fast as they could carry her through the woods.

Not until she heard him say " grab her! "

Chapter three.

Subtitle: I'll leave.

** Rykers POV **

As the crowned was place on my head a loud echo of congratulations waved it's way into my ears.

It was earsplitting and disturbing but I kept quiet.

It was accompanied by a new feeling..

A feeling of someone important to me.

I couldn't point her out as I couldn't feel her scent.

"she's here. My mate here! But when not a wolf! "

I could here my wolf Zack squeal.

But then his voice went low when he said she's not a wolf.

"then what is she? A vampire? A witch? "

I asked back.

"I can't feel any of these in her either. If she was one of them she she ought to have a scent. Looks like I was mated to a human. "

Zack churned.

"insolence. I will not accept the fact that she is a weak human. I don't want a mate who is weak, I can always get another mate! Where the hell is she? I wanna take a look at what the powerless thing look like! "

I snapped back at Zack and I heard him sigh.

"we can't reject her Rye. Even if she's weak she's still our mate.. "

I heard him reply.

It was him calling me a nickname that made me chuckle.

"well I'm rejecting her right away. Let's go look for her! "

I said and made to walk.

Jaxon noticed my aloof look and nudged me.

"can you feel her yet? Who is she? "

He asked.

I sighed and replied back with a scrowl on my face.

"she has no scent, she's weak. I'm mated trying a human!"

I snapped.

"how's that possible? How comes a human crossed our borders and walked to This gathering. "

Jaxon replied.

But I could see a glint of worry in his face as he answered me.

I began following were my heart leads me to.

Everyone looked at me.

They all knew it's possible for me to find a mate on the day I shift and is crowned king so they were all anticipating as to who it was.

My eyes landed on a girl who was standing amidst the crowd in a secretive spot.

She had a hoodie on, hiding her face and her eyes where shut as she seemed to be daydreaming about something.

I immediately felt the magnetic feeling drawing me to her.

It was savage and I hated it.

The girl had black hair which was evident from the part the fell to the side of her face.

She looked chubby and plum.

Her skin was as white as snow and it showed in the dark.

Everyone gasped murmuring as I walked towards her slowly.

They were all surprised.

It was my first time seeing someone like her..

"Ryker.. Is... Is.. This her? "

I heard Jaxon ask with disbelief from besides me.

My face was hard and viod.

"I want to hug her... "

Zack muttered and whined.

"shut up! "

I snapped still looking at the girl.

She seemed to have gotten and idea that she was being looked at as she snapped her yes open and her met mine.

I was surprised as I looked at her eyes.

They were unusual.

She had red bloody eyes that one coulddd mistook for that of a witch.

Even witches don't have that colour of red eyes.

She seemed to be taken aback from the sight of me....

As she looked Besides and around her.

She noticed the dozen and hundreds of eyes pairs staring at her.

She began taking slow steps backwards.

In a swift she turned and ran away. Into the woods.

"grab her! "

I snapped at no one in particular and in a swift lots of legs could be seen chasing after the girl.

"I have to reject her first before she runs away... "

I thought.

"you wouldn't dare! "

Zack snapped.

"well watch me do it! "

My voice was lazy yet cold.

** Melanie's POV**

In a matter of a short while a whole pack of wolves where chasing me.

I was a fast runner and I ran with all my might but it didn't take long for them to catch up with me.

I struggled to keep my breath stable and rum as fast I I can but I stumbled on a stone and fell to the ground hard, face down.

I hit my face hard on a large stone and earned a huge cut on my forehead and lips.

I was bleeding profusely.

I winced in pain as a tear roll down my left eye.

My whole face was in pains but I was dragged up by two large guys and dragged back to the crescent garden where a hundred of wolves where awaiting.

My face was down as I was brought before him.

He was as cold as ever and looked at me without any feelings written on his face.

I was literally shaking inside and wanted to pee.

Withhhin seconds he walked towards me and grabbed my necck,drawing me closer to his face before flipping away my hood.

My full plum face that was now bloodied came to full view.

I winced in pain, I saw him sneered as he looked at my face.

"your not a wolf, your human. You have no ability to heal quickly, your weak, your ugly.. "

His words were cold and it broke my heart into pieces as that was actually the first words my mate was saying to me.

It was as if a hundred of daggers where pulling into my heart.

"II. I. I... "

I couldn't find a word to say.

His looks where fierce.

"I don't want a mate who is weak and pathetic. I don't want a mate who would be a burden to me. Your not fit to be my mate, not even close. "

He said.

His words were calm, yet it caused a huge havoc in my heart.

And finally he said the last word I wanted to hear.

The last words.

** general POV **

"I Alpha Ryker Dante of the crescent moon park rejects you weak and pathetic girl as my mate and Luna of my park. You are hereby not allowed to show your face to me again except you want it red! "

Those angry and deceptive words tear Melanie apart.

It was her mate who had rejected her at first sight.

She has always being rejected and tainted upon but this last rejection gave a painful and scaring tug to her shattered lost heart.

She smiled out the tears and turned back.

If that's what he wanted then fine!

She was okay with it.

She looked sideways towards her father who had an unfathomable look on.

He looked furious and blaze.

"father... "

She muttered and his face grew red with anger as the guest looked at him with shock and disbelief. With urge in their eyes to know if he really did fathered the weak and ugly she wolf.

No! Even a mere human is more powerful than her.

Every one who knew Melanie knew she had no wolf.

She looked towards her only brother.

The look on his face was just like the others.

He dejected her.

And her step sisters couldn't care less.

"okay. I get it.... No one wants me... No one wants to see me... It's okay I'll leave. You won't ever see me again! At least the ugly me! "

She snapped.

Dried her tears and turned around.

Sound on the rough hard sandals could be heard as she shrugged away in the cold.

Life was really cruel to her.
