REJECTED BY THE ALPHA CHOSEN BY HIS TWIN

Selene’s Pov

Jeffery grinned like a fool, while Lucien stood there like a benevolent Alpha.

If I voice out that he actually wanted to end my life, who would believe me.

“Don't insult me, Alpha Lucien.” I spat, refusing to stand up.

“He's the same rank as you, the only difference is that he's shifted, unlike you. You should be grateful.” Seraphina snickered.

The class roared with laughter except for Aria and Bella.

“Even a worthless dog gets to have a mate, thanks to Alpha Lucien.” Charis mocked and the whole class erupted again.

“At least she's not the one with no special ability except for her wolf.” Bella fired.

Seraphina couldn't say a word.

I turned to give her a grateful nod.

“Can't you see I'm doing this for your own good?” Lucien's calm voice rang out.

“Even the Omegas were not willing to be mated to you, I had to plead with Jeffrey.” He continued.

The same Jeffery that bullied me in the past. The same Jeffery he protected me from.

Or do I say saved me for.

I chuckled bitterly. I must have been blind to have fallen for this piece of trash.

“That will not be necessary Alpha Lucien, my affairs are no longer your business.” I stared at him straight in the eyes.

He looked somewhat shocked.

The best acting award goes to this devil.

People began to whisper.

‘Why is she so proud… hpmp!’

‘She should be grateful he's considering her.’

Seraphina is so graceful’

I wonder what this academy is created for, it's obviously not for intelligence. I thought.

“Don't come begging later.” Seraphina hissed, taking Lucien's hand before walking away.

I caught a glimpse of Lucien's face from the window. He looked pissed.

I've not even started pressing their necks yet. They should wait till I convince Keal.

The time was 7pm, I made my way out of the class after the professor walked out.

I promised Orion I'll tell him interesting tales.

“Selene.” I heard Aria's voice making me turn back.

“You've been distant and absent since yesterday.” She raised her eyebrows suspiciously.

I wasn't about to tell her about Keal. I know I can trust her. But I can't risk anything right now.

“It's nothing, I just need a little bit of space for myself.” I lied through my teeth.

She stared at me like she was deciding whether to believe me or not.

Before she could say another word, I bolted.

That will only raise her suspicion you fool. My mind threw a jab at me.

I didn't care, I headed straight to his class. Most of his mates had already gone home to their parents.

I entered and found him seated in between Keal’s lap.

“Hi…” I trailed half waving, half smiling.

“You kept your promise.” Orion ran straight to me.

May the Moon Goddess curse Seraphina. She's traumatized this little child.

“Lead the way.” Keal said.

I stood there perplexed. I didn't mention he was going with us.

I raised my eyebrow in question.

“What made you think I'll leave my child to you?” He peered at me.

I carried Orion leaving Keal to follow. I didn't have the strength to argue. At least not now.

I took the route only I found out about a year ago. It led to the same garden Orion had gotten lost.

We got to the garden shortly and we sat down on the floor. Except Keal.

He stood there like a watch night dog.

“Mummy can we start now?” Orion tapped me.

“Not with your Father staring at me like a prey.” I whispered into his ear.

“I heard that.” He took his eyes away from me.

Soon I started the story telling.

Soon enough,the little boy fell asleep right there.

Soon his father took him away and I went back to my dorm.

Morning came like a rush of whirlwind. Looking at the time, I quickly rushed off.

I was too scared and anxious to sleep. Too scared of what his answer might be.

I needed to go meet him before everyone else was up. I took Arias clothes and wore them, I took her perfume too and sprayed it on me. I don't need anyone, especially Lucien recognizing my scent.

On getting to their lounge,I tiptoed towards Keal's door and knocked gently.

He opened the door before I lifted my clenched fist from the door.

He stepped aside and I entered. We sat in his small living room, so as not to disturb Orion.

“So?” I started.

“Life with me is not rosy.” He started. My heart thrummed loudly.

“If you become my mate, you'd be treated like an outcast, do you still want to?” He asked softly.

One I've never heard before. “Yes.” I said.

“I have my own rules. I'm not in for revenge or whatever is going on in your head. Do not ever treat my child poorly.This is purely an arrangement and no feelings involved. Lastly, stay out of drama.” He finished.

I beamed nodding my head like a child.

The knot worry formed in my chest dissolved immediately.

“You can leave now.” He said.

I stood up and walked towards the door. I twisted the handle ready to go out when his voice stopped me.

“The clothes and perfume didn't hide your scent, try again.” He mocked.

I ignored him and smiled, “Happy Birthday Alpha Keal.”

I didn't wait to see his reaction or hear his response.

Before I got to my dorm, students began flooding out happily.

None of them seemed to notice me which I'm grateful for.

They were too happy to even notice. Of course it's because of Lucien's mating ceremony.

The full moon is coming out tonight. And they're about to watch a full show.
