REJECTED BY THE ALPHA CHOSEN BY HIS TWIN

Selene’s Pov

Keal caught me before I fell. My eyes went wide, seeing my feet were solid, he pushed me lightly.

He stared down at me, his eyes cold and unreadable.

I moved away instantly.

“You'll only kill yourself if you continue listening.” Keal smirked.

Why isn't he angry about this whole thing?

“That is your woman right there Keal, she's in your twin's arm and you're here smiling? What exactly is amusing you?” I whispered.

“When addressing her, learn to use the word ex!” He brought out a cigarette.

“Please don't do that, they'll know we're here in no time.” My eyes were pleading.

“Leave.” His voice chilled me out.

Why is he telling me to leave?

Just as I was about to leave, sounds of moans began coming from the room.

My eyes went wide, with anger brewing in me, I made to go into the room.

“Leave.” He let out harshly.

Staggering, I dragged my unmoving feet out of the lounge.

Lucien. He took advantage of my situation, he turned it into a show and a political game.

The last shred of love u had for him turned into a raging hatred.

I walked to the hunting forest. I needed to clear my head. I thought I could handle the rejection better to show I'm strong. But I'm not. Heck I'm broken.

I miss my wolf so much. My soul feels hollow and empty. I crouched down burying my head between my knees.

After what seemed like forever, I stood up ready to go back for the test, I began to hear screams coming from the academy.

I stood up walking back to know what's going on.

“Thank goddess you're fine.” Aria hugged me the moment she sighted me emerging from the forest.

“What is going on?” I was puzzled.

“Orion went missing. Keal scent warriors to search for him.” Aria whispered as if afraid of being heard.

“How could they leave a child to roam around to the extent of getting lost? They should trace his scent.” I whispered back.

“Alpha Keal threatened to burn down the academy if he's not found, that's why the warriors are searching this much, besides his scent isn't traceable.” Aria dragged me away.

I wanted to go back to the dorm, but I couldn't.

Orion is just like me, abandoned by his mother, he might be little, but understands what was going on. I can't just sit and watch him disappear.

I spotted Keal walking towards another direction, his face contorted with anger and worry.

“I'll be back, Aria.” I left before she could say anything.

I need to search for the poor child, his stupid and wicked mother is nowhere to be found. Heartless bitch!

I went to the field searching for him, went to the locker room to check. Still nothing.

How can a little child disappear?

The last place I could chew for him was a deserted place I used to go as a child anytime I'm being bullied.

I left the locker room, at the back of the academy building. I trailed the bushy path for some minutes before I got to the garden. The scents of the flowers enveloped me. But another scent that wasn't flowery mixed with it.

I dived deeper into the garden, there was a waterfall at the side.

Sob.

It was a little child's sob. I squinted my eyes a little, there I saw Orion crying by the waterfall.

This explains why his father couldn't trace him.

“Hey darling, come here.” I smiled at him stretching my hands.

He ran towards me the moment he saw me, he was wet.

“You must have been scared, I'm here now okay? Your father is worried sick about you.” I carried him.

After some minutes we got back to the academy. I went straight to his father's dorm.

He wasn't there when I got in.

One of the warriors mind linked him to the fact that Orion has been found.

I entered his room for the very first time. I dropped Orion, I pulled his clothes off drying his body with a towel I took from Keal’s bathroom.

“Where are your clothes? It's freezing, we don't want you catching a fever.” I asked the little boy.

I pointed to the second wardrobe in the room. I took one of his clothes and wore it for him.

I carried him cradling his head, he'll be warm in no time, wolves are known for internal heat.

Soon he slept.

I gently laid him on the bed when the door burst open.

Troubled Keal rushed in.

“Shhhh” I put my hand on my mouth.

“Why do you have my son?” He pulled me from the bed roughly.

His eyes were bloodshot.

“I saw him at the back of the academy, I should ask you where were you when he went missing, proud dad?” Sarcasm laced in my voice.

“Don't test me Selene.” His ragged breath slowed.

I knew better than to test him.

“How do I pay you back?” He asked.

“There's no need for that, I'd do that for anyone, besides he's a child.” I made to leave.

“I insist.” He blocked my way from leaving.

I thought for a while,what could I possibly want from him.

A crazy idea flew to my head.

If our ex's are with each other, why can't we do the same.

I know it's a crazy idea, Keal might have my head for it.

“Mate with me.” I blurted before I could stop myself.

Silence.

He stared at me like I had grown two heads.

“Repeat that.” He walked away from the door.

“Mate with me.” I repeated shakily.

“This ain't a novel where the rejected mate uses the twin as a rebound.” He lashed, his cold gaze piercing.

“It isn't a rebound, it is about choosing you.” My voice shook.

“Are you going to be my mummy?” Orion's voice came.
