REJECTED BY THE ALPHA CHOSEN BY HIS TWIN

Selene’s Pov

I stared at him wide eyed. I can't afford for him to say no.

“Please, at least think about it.” I hiccuped.

“I didn't say no yet, I only said what if. Seriously, what's the point of going to the academy?” He taunted.

I couldn't even talk back, knowing I wouldn't win against him anyways.

“You can't handle being mated to me.” He said, looking away.

Now is the time to turn back Selene. My mind screamed at me.

I can't turn back, my life and that of my mother will be a living hell in the pack.

Will you because of that mate with someone who beat the mother of his pup? My mind argued again.

Yeah… that!

“See? You can leave now.” His flat cold voice brought me out of my internal struggle.

“I can handle it.” I said out of nowhere.

Did I just agree to it?

Like I wasn't the one who asked in the first place. Ugh… I miss Crystal.

“You don't know what you're saying.” He snickered.

“Go home.” His tone was final.

“Mummy.” Orion's tiny voice rang as he made his way towards me.

Seraphina has failed as a mother, abandoning her own child, to the point that he needs someone to call mummy.

“Come here my baby.” I smiled, opening my arms.

He ignored his father running straight into my arms. “Did father make you cry?”

Oops! I had forgotten to clean my eyes immediately when he came out.

Before I could respond, he faced his father, “Stop bullying mummy.”

Keal's face almost turned white. He made a long face at him. Orion did the same right back.

I couldn't hold the laughter anymore, I burst out laughing.

I laughed so hard that I didn't notice the four pairs of eyes staring at me astonished.

I stopped laughing immediately.

“I'll inform you when I decide tomorrow.” He said turning to walk away.

Isn't tomorrow his birthday? Lucien mentioned he doesn't like to celebrate birthdays.

Well, even if he likes to, people won't attend because of fear.

Heard he almost burnt down the palace on their sixteenth birthday.

I smiled, dropping Orion who in turn had a sour look.

“I'll come get you at night, I'll tell you stories from when I was young.” I tried cheering him up.

He nodded, smiling.

I left his place afterwards. Just one more class and I'm done for the day.

I walked back to class, people sent pity and irritating stares my way.

I just need Keal to agree, then I can proudly boast of choosing my own mate and walk in the academy confidently.

Aria and Bella were not in class when I entered. I turned back to go look for them.

The dethroned school Belle Charis was also not in class.

Of course not, she doesn't want to lose face. I thought walking towards the garden.

I miss Crystal. If she wasn't protecting me so hard from the poison, she wouldn't have been extremely wounded to the point of near death.

I need to see the professor.

I changed my mind walking towards the professor's office.

I might as well tell him about the poison. I can't tell him about Lucien doing it.

He wouldn't believe me anyway, he'd think I'm trying to frame him because he didn't take me as his mate.

I got to his office and was about to knock. “Come in Selene.” He said.

My inability to smell from afar like other wolves makes me forget wolves can smell people from distance.

I pushed the door open, stepping in I bowed in greeting.

He gestured for me to sit. “Your condition worsened.” He said before I could speak.

I nodded. “What happened, I knew you made progress with it.” He peered at me.

“Wolfsbane.” I muttered quietly.

His eyebrow shot up. “Wolfsbane? How did that happen? Why would you do such to yourself because he didn't take you as his mate.”

I knew it! Even without saying how it came about he already judged me!

“I didn'...” I tried saying but he cut me off.

“You didn't know it was going to be severe?”

Ugh… can this man just shut up and listen? I wanted to scream at him.

“What can I do now? If I don't get my wolf back what will happen to me?” I asked. There was no point in arguing with him, because he wouldn't believe me even if I explained the whole situation.

“I can't say for sure at this point, maybe she'll heal if she gets a second chance mate.” He shook his head.

It's not just about being mated to any wolf. It's also about a second chance mate?

What is my offense, Moon Goddess? I wanted to cry, scream or break things.

A sob tore through my throat.

“Unless you're marked by an alpha, which is now impossible.” He looked at me with pity.

My eyes lit up immediately. If Keal agrees, then I have a chance.

No, not if. He has to agree.

I'll make sure of that.

“Don't crash at Lucien's mating ceremony tomorrow.” He warned seeing the spark in my eyes.

Funny! This man thinks Lucien is the only Alpha heir…

Even though he's feared and treated like an outcast, Keal is still an Alpha, and also the Alpha and Luna's heir, just like Lucien.

I stood up muttering a thank you, not even bothering to bow when I left his office.

On returning to class, the whole class was silent, Aria and Bella were also waiting for me. Charis was also seated.

Maybe the class is about to begin. I shrugged and made my way to my seat.

But the way they kept looking at me was weird and disturbing.

Just then the devil and his evil mate decided to walk in.

Only that they brought Jeffery, the school mischievous guy, with them.

I hissed facing my locker, not bothering to pay them any attention.

“Selene, I already spoke to Jeffery, he's willing to mate with you after I pleaded with him.” Lucien announced.

The class went silent.

What?

And the fool was smiling like he's won the lottery.
