You Rejected A Silver Wolf

Rihanna's POV

It was the Princess's Vanessa's tenth birthday party and the ballroom was filled with white and pink designs.

She lived another year to cause hell for me.

The decorations of pink and white at the ballroom sickened me. It always had actually. It reminded me of the worst year of my life, reoccurring.

I was nine-year-old then, wearing a cute red ball gown, with my head adorned with light jewelries and a gold necklace, belonging to my mom.

Princess's Vanessa's was having her tenth birthday and the ballroom was filled with white and pink designs.

I crept towards the long table were meals of different cultures and origins were laid, along sides cocktails and wines.

I raised my legs to where her cake was kept, on the highest table, and gleamed wickedly at it.

My twin brother, Raymond, was in charge of keeping the little pups away from the table but he was far off outside the ballroom, watching the Alpha King invite the guests.

I knew my brother would get in trouble for what I was about doing but I had to do it. Princess Vanessa owed me everything.

I slapped down the cake, spreading it across the table. It made a melting sound and the high steps toppled to the ground.

Inside of me, I felt bad ruining it but this was revenge. I was being petty but that was all nine-year old me could think off.

Hearing footsteps from outside the ballroom, I envisioned the Luna Queen and the servants coming.

I had shifted early so had my wolf. She told me to run away but I stubbornly didn't. I didn't care, I wanted them to see me. I wanted Princess Vanessa to see me. I ruined her cake!

But Raymond appeared. His expression went from surprise to anger and then fear. He pulled me by the ear but I slapped his hands off.

"Serves Princess Vanessa right!"

My voice was small and light so I made a noise shouting like that.

"And you'd be served a punishment soon..." he barely finished when the our Luna Queen walked into the kitchen.

She wore a smile on her lips, which was also smeared bright red, matching her auburn hair.

Her bright green eyes darkened on seeing the ruined cake. She pinched herself skin through her white dress wanting for everything to be a dream.

Slowly, with a glare, she turned to my brother and I. Her eyes rested on my cake stained dress. I quickly cleaned it off scared as her strong aura filled the room.

"Rihanna, no!" she tried dragging my hair but Raymond pushed me aside. She grabbed him and yanked his hair but I quickly bit her hands.

She flung me easily and her claws crawled from their place, piercing my brother's neck. I knew I let her Luna wolf out. And it wouldn't be easy to control.

"Ahhhhh" I began screaming while throwing cake on her.

I hated her like I hated her daughter. My mother rushed in.

A victorious smirk was etched to my face as all the guests came in, seeing the cake and the Luna Queen. Even Princess Vanessa came in and my wolf began laughing.

"Raymond, who did this!" my father barked, he was the Beta of our Kingdom, he looked scary towering down at my brother in his black suit.

The Alpha King pushed my father aside and came in front. He's expression changed to something different.

The guests came closer one by one, eyeing the melted cake on the ground. I noticed a guest, Duchess Vivian wearing an impressed smirk. But then Princess Vanessa burst to a wail.

I couldn't help it and laughed along with Lana, my wolf. Everyone turned to me and Raymond looked scared.

They all must have seen the cake stained on me. I laughed like a mad wolf despite everyone looking at me.

"I pushed Rihanna to the cake. It's my fault." Raymond shouted as the Alpha King advanced to me. I stopped laughing.

Brother...

My mother narrowed his eyes at him. "Raymond, she's the one with cake on her dress..."

"But I pushed her to it, mom." he repeated.

Luna tight the hands which made my brother felt breathless.

"What did Princess Vanessa do to you?" she roared. Everyone stood watching. She was strangling him and no one said anything?

I charged at her and head butted her on her stomach. She staggered and threw me by my hair, mom held unto Raymond that she dropped.

"Sam, what's wrong with your children!" the Alpha King screamed at my father.

The fury liked a blind bull bumping inside me !

Trying to overpower the Luna was effortless so I bit her hand numerous times. I was an animal, I knew.

But her daughter was a with and a bully.

The servants fought and dragged me away from her, panting breathlessly.

"Please, let her go. I messed up the cake not her!" Raymond stuttered, his small suit was already stained with dirt.

His dark hair had sand mixed with it. I glared at him and the Luna Queen.

"Shut up. I did it. Princess Vanessa, I am so happy to see you cry!" I screamed to everyone's horror.

Raymond pushed me down and I fell on the cake. He repeated his claim on messing up the cake.

"Raymond? Rihanna? Who messed up this cake and why?" my father asked, calmly.

With Raymond behind me, he gave me a sign with his fingers not to speak. I grumpily obeyed.

"I did, dad. It was an accident. Rihanna annoyed me so I pushed her to it, that's why she had cake on her body..."

"And not on her hair? And everywhere on her hands? You're lying!" Princess Vanessa cried.

Her little eye mascara were drooping with her tears, staining her white ball grown. Her mother sighed and dragged her away from us.

My mother looked at me disappointedly. They surely knew it was me. Raymond was never reckless, that's why he was asked to watch the cake. I was the little witch around the house.

***********

Finally...

My brother was given fifteen strokes for it! Who dared give the Beta's son strokes? Of course, the Luna.

I was so upset but when I heard it was the Alpha King himself, I slid low. I hated everyone here.

My hatred for Princess Vanessa increased but in return, the whole pack hated me.

Princess Vanessa had earlier annoyed me by calling my father a stupid dog who only listened to her father without having a will of his own.

This made me mad!

Then my brother's hurt on his back!

They cursed at me that I was the reason for my brother's scarred back. And no one played with me, I didn't mind till I finally began to.

My mother hated me and I became an embarrassment to my father. All I wanted was payback to Princess Vanessa who insulted my father.

I revenged in the most painful way I could think of as a child but my actions kept on hunting me.

I grew up and had cooled down but the name and hatred never left me. I was now diminutive due to lack of love and care. I didn't have confidence left.

I was the most hated in the pack, all thanks to Princess Vanessa.

***********************

Years past.

Her birthday had come again.Everything was perfect.

Today, she was to find her mate and that smelt like more trouble for me. I stood far away.

I stayed up at the hill, to ensure I didn't spoil their mood or appetite. I hadn't worn a formal dress and just a long-sleeved jacket with jeans.

"Rih, what are you doing there?".

I expected to see my brother Raymond but I turned to see the Alpha King's son, Prince Chris. My cheeks flushed a little, I jumped from the tree I was on.

"Um... nothing. Just watching" I removed some strands on my face, backwards, looking him in the eyes. I became self conscious.

"Hmm. From here? Why don't you go down? Can you see anything?" he tried to look from where I was standing.

Sometimes he forgot I was the hated Beta's daughter. His niceness to me usually caught me off guard because he was my enemy's brother!

My ears weren't very sharp so my eyes were sharper. He was almost slipping from the hill, from trying to peek from the hill so I wrapped my hands around him.

"Thank you." he sighed, deeply, as I pulled him back. My face was beet red and I dare not look at him. I had felt sparks holding him.

"Come down and celebrate with us. Your birthday is next soon." he stated. I laughed it off. My birthday would go as it came.

I noticed when I laughed, his eyes seemed to tarry on me, so I frowned. I knew I was ugly when I laughed, he didn't have to stare.

"You know, laugh more. You look pretty".

What sir? Did he mean that? I looked at his retreating figure and I felt flying insects inside my stomach. Did I swallow butterflies?

Rihanna's POV

That was the third chariot coming in today carrying the last Alpha or soon to be Alpha or son of an Alpha.

I wanted to laugh, my wolf, Lana, was laughing already.

It seemed our pretty Princess Vanessa won't find her mate today. If she does, he wouldn't be among those fine Alpha males she hoped on.

Lana smirked devilishly, "Today would be bad for her. I'd annoy her again."

I brushed the idea off immediately, "You wouldn't. Stop acting like a rash cause you have powers. You'd be caught."

And then I'd be punished for it, I only wish to lie low in this pack and be happy as I can be.

Raymond ran to me and I chuckled seeing him struggle to climb the hill, the gel on his hair had weakened, making his hair look tattered.

But he looked dashing nevertheless, nothing seemed to make him look bad.

I looked ahead and saw Princess Vanessa's frustrated face. It remained one more Alpha to arrive.

I didn't get why she, as an Alpha King's daughter, had to get married to an Alpha as well. It should be to her mate, Alpha or not.

And if he wasn't Alpha, would she bear to reject him? Insecure thoughts filtered into my head. Would my own mate reject me? I was a no one.

"Ahh, Rih, how do you do this!" Raymond grunted as he finally reached the top hill, he laid face up besides me. I rolled my eyes.

He was just a weak little wolf. Or I was a really strong wolf. I made sure not to show it so not to get hated more.

"Why are you here? Won't you go sing for your princess?" I teased him. I knew he hated her and his disgusted face confirmed it.

"Nah, I ran from there because so far all the Alphas weren't her mate. What if somehow I became her mate? You know, maybe the Moon Goddess gave her a future Beta instead!"

My face was contorted, Lana was laughing in me, I didn't even see what was funny. Ray ran from there cos he didn't want to be her mate?

"If you are her mate, you both would feel a mate bond before eighteen. Neither of you felt one so you can't be her mate now." I explained.

And if you were, dear brother, I'd make sure you reject her cos she'd be the end of you.

Ray shrugged, "She's nice to me recently, so I thought of that. Maybe it's because her brother's coronation is coming." Raymond nodded.

That was another big event coming. By then, all the young girls in our pack would have turned eighteen, so he can be coronated with a Luna Queen. I was a bit anxious.

My brother would be his future Beta, and I've never been more proud. My father wasn't very respected by the Alpha King.

But Prince Chris was different, if he could treat me, a nobody with so much respect, I felt he'd be a better Alpha King than his father was.

"And here comes Jake Justin of the Black Rose Pack, son of the Alpha. Princess Vanessa better be lucky." Raymond looked ahead.

I followed his gaze.

Never had I seen a Black Rose werewolf before. They were usually heavily tanned and very very sexy. It was a rumor but were very true.

Jake Justin jumped down from his horse and I felt the ground tremble from where I was. He had a powerful aura that the pack and guests felt.

He wore a tuxedo jacket with formal black boots. His hair was in mullet style and his dark eyes added more power to him.

Also the black rose on his cloth was chef kiss.

Princess Vanessa shook when he bowed at her. She could barely bow back. I noticed the smirk he had, he knew the aura he emitted.

"I like that guy already." I blurted. I liked any guy who'd mess around with Princess Vanessa and make her feel lower. The Alpha must be well informed.

"You like him? Well, he and Princess Vanessa don't seem to be mates. Hope for the best!" Raymond shouted.

My eyes widened and I slapped his shoulders. I felt no connection to Jake Justin, so he'd never be my mate. I was near eighteen and I'd know.

"I didn't mean I want him as mate. I just meant I liked that he's messing with Princess Vanessa. Baloney head!" I added a knock on his head.

He sprang up from the ground and I ducked, "Nah, I'd get you Rih. For now, let me go grab some cake. Want some?"

I shook my head. "I don't want her cake." My eyes remained fixed on Jake Justin, I watched him interacting with the other Alphas.

There was something about his smile, they didn't seem real, and faded off almost immediately. I recognized those fake smiles.

I gave them a lot during a formal gathering where the Beta's children had to be presented to the council of packs.

Raymond and I should be the Alpha King's Betas, as twins, but my Alpha King rejected me being Beta and threatened to demote me to omega if I refused to step down.

All cause I destroyed Princess Vanessa's tenth birthday cake and made Raymond take the blame.

I was hated, my position stripped from me.

My father could do nothing. And my mother seemed like she agreed. My brother and Prince Chris were the only once who felt pity for me.

The Alpha of Red Moon Pack stood up to give a toast to Princess Vanessa, "To the Princess's health and beauty."

Everyone cheered except Jake Justin.

I gagged. Princess Vanessa's beauty was a gift from her mother. And improved greatly by heavy makeup. That Alpha was just looking for favor.

Another Alpha stood up to toast and I realized they'd all toast for her. "To the Princess's wisdom and grace."

Lana rolled her eyes. Princess Vanessa had no grace, and wisdom! They were really looking out for the Alpha King's favor.

The father already had a proud smile. The third Alpha stood up, he seemed like he was searching for what to say.

"To the Princess's happy marriage and long long life." It was cheered and even the Alpha King nodded at it. Meh. I awaited Jake Justin's.

"The Princess is highly blessed already. I'd toast to the future Alpha King and his Betas and to the unity of our Packs under his rulership!"

Loud cheers erupted from the crowd after Jake Justin's toast, even my father even clapped. The Alpha King's face stiffened but he forced a smile.

I caught up on what Jake Justin did there. Black Rose Pack was amongst the pack who had voted me to be among the Alpha King's Betas. I was so honored that such a powerful pack valued me.

"Thank you. My Betas and I would do a good job." Prince Chris responded to the toast with a bow. And they're were more cheers.

Rihanna's POV

"Thank you. My Betas and I would do a good job." Prince Chris responded to the toast with a bow. And they're were more cheers.

Jake Justin nodded and the other Alphas gave him a friendly pat. Raymond was there and he also bowed at the Alphas. They did the same.

It seemed they searched around for me but couldn't see me. I noticed Jake Justin looking above the hills but he looked down again.

I felt more important all of a sudden. The other Alphas didn't think I was irrelevant and Prince Chris, as well. Lana swelled in pride inside me.

"I like these guys." she smiled. I nodded. I really really like these Alphas.

Lana pushed me forward and we slid down the hill. Jake Justin's head popped up again and he looked above the hills.

I forgot Black Rose wolves lived in the forest so their sense of hearing were very sharp. If he was hearing something from the hills, he'd be alert.

Walking towards them, I had an air of intoxicating pride released by my silver wolf, however my mind link was broken into and a hoarse voice ordered. "Rihanna, return NOW!"

My wolf whimpered, it was our Alpha King.

I saw Raymond look up at where I was and Jake Justin followed his gaze. They all wanted to see me. But dragging my feet, I went back to my room.

Who was I kidding? Even if other packs thought I was good, my own pack would think otherwise.

~~~

I cleared up the place along with Sasha, a maid's daughter. She swept into my pile of clean plates and smirked. She was a jerk.

I ignored her and rinsed them again. I wasn't even supposed to be doing this. A Beta's daughter shouldn't work with maids.

I was only allowed to come close after the birthday party. And for what? Cleaning and washing? I was tired of such living but didn't dare complain.

Raymond always tried to clean my mess up and hurt himself by doing so.

I knew I am not a mature sister in some time.

He took care of the physical pain so I should handle the mental pain.

I can't remember the last time I was allowed to train like other wolves, making me very weak except my wolf powers. Raymond did teach me some skills from time to time.

Sasha swept towards my washed plates for another time and I dropped the one I was washing into the basin. "Sasha, don't try me."

She had a mock and surprised expression. What, she thought I wouldn't talk to her? Or she felt I wasn't strong enough to whoop her ass?!

Maybe I wasn't, she was trained by Prince Chris. I was jealous over that, but I could bite her and leave an injury that'd take three hours to heal.

"Lady Rihanna, I don't know you speak, honestly. And what are you gonna do?" she swept more sand into the plate.

My eyes darkened. She called me 'Lady' yet disrespected me. I knew Lana was getting angry. If Lana joined this fight, then it'd be more than biting we'd be doing.

"You don't want to know, Sasha. You don't what to know."

But she did, as she swept more sand in. "Tell me my Lady, what are you going to do!" mockery laced in every word.

I let Lana take charge and her silvery self grabbed Sasha's arm, twisting it harshly that she wail in anguish.

Lana stepped back and created a boundary but charge at her again, throwing her off by the invisible boundary. Sasha shifted to her own dark brown wolf.

I dashed to her legs to bite her but boy was that a wrong move, as Sasha flung from her leg. What kind of power was that! Lana felt weakened. She wasn't strong without her powers.

Sasha dived down at me on the ground and landed punches that paralyzed me and shifted me back. I head butted her but it only made her stagger.

Lana groaned in disbelief. How could her blow be this weak. Sasha should be crying! But no, she spat at us calling us a weak wolf.

Sasha tore my face with her claws and I let out a shrill cry, I wanted to put my hands in my mouth to stop myself but it came out.

She had a victorious smirk, rising from me and I just laid there, blood oozing out from my face. Lana wanted to heal me but I stopped her.

Let them all see this. Wouldn't they punish her! It was my father that came first, and then Raymond. Sasha had wiped off her smirk.

What replaced it was a scared and sorry look, "Beta, I'm sorry, she attacked me suddenly and my wolf pounced on her."

Raymond asked what happened, through our twin mind link only us could use it. I glanced at the dirt in the water and he understood me.

"Sasha, you were under punishment to clean with Rihanna. Rather you caused more problems by fighting with her!" Prince Chris barked.

I didn't know he was there. I felt safe being around my father, Raymond and Prince Chris. My father hadn't said anything, just studied my wounds.

"Why don't they heal?" he asked gently.

"It hurts badly. She clawed my face." I sniffed, burying my head on him. Sasha forgot her act and cursed at me, making them turn at her.

I smirked, she was a bitch, she could never hide herself. "So you started causing trouble with her, didn't you?" Raymond barked at her.

She flinched, looking down. My brother was a damn Beta, she should be scared. I felt horrible with the way I lived.

I didn't have any aura as a Beta. I was born one but wasn't trained one. I wanted to be free to let my silver wolf exact vengeance for me. But she needed to be strong enough to do that.

"Why won't anyone believe Sasha's story? Rihanna might have attacked her first." Princess Vanessa walked in, with her father, the Alpha King.

They both wore matching caps, having their father daughter bond time again.

The Alpha King's eyes tarried on my face with his scornful eyesight . I was barely feeling pain anymore. Lana beared it all.

"Vanessa, Rihanna is the one injured. And Rihanna is not strong enough to attack Sasha. Stop siding Sasha!" Prince Chris growled at his sister.

I loved the energy but I was embarrassed they all thought Sasha was stronger than me, she was, but that's not how it should be. I'm a Beta.

"Chris handle this. We have a meeting with The other Alphas before they leave. Come Sam, Raymond too." the Alpha King called, he pulled Princess Vanessa with him.

My brother and father left with them. Raymond gave me a small smile, patting my head.

I don't know what Prince Chris said to Sasha, It was through mind link, or my poor hearing couldn't pick it, but she cried and ran off.

Prince Chris stooped down at me, still on the ground, I wanted to get up so he didn't have to stoop but he stopped me.

His face was close and I could see his green eyes peering into my brown ones.

"I've handled Sasha! Now tell your wolf to heal you." he smirked. How did he know I stopped my wolf from healing me?

I chuckled nervously and let Lana heal me.

"Those scars, your body is weak, they won't disappear on time for your birthday. It's in a week time." he helped me get up.

Sparks erupted in me every time, I don't think he felt them as he didn't react. I arranged my black hair, detangling curls and brushed sand off my body.

"The day would pass like other days. It doesn't really matter."

"Didn't you hear those Alphas? You are on your way to be my Beta. Everything about you matter. I'd start training you after your birthday." he placed his hands on my shoulders.

I looked down, fighting the flush rising to my face, "Thank you, I can't wait for my birthday then." I said it casually but I really couldn't wait.

I'd be strong enough to whoop Sasha's butt and I could be free to show off Lana, my pretty silver wolf. She purred in excitement.

Those who hated me would have no choice but to fear me. I didn't need their love anymore.

"Yeah, Raymond would also be legally my Beta, even before coronation. Oh, and he'd find his mate, right?" Prince Chris chuckled.

My eyes widened. I'd be finding my mate too. The flush rose to my face when Prince Chris turned to me, "You aren't in pain, are you?".

I shook my head. Did someone blush when they were in pain? Or he couldn't read my expression?

I exhaled and shook my head again. It was good he couldn't.

Whether Prince Chris was my mate, I hope he was, or whoever was my mate, I knew he'd treat me more better and I can be myself around him.

I low key wished he was from another pack than mine as everyone here hated me and I didn't want a rejection, I wouldn't bear a rejection.

But if it was Prince Chris then I would be glad.
