Rejected Revenge

Chapter Five

{Hope's POV}

"Alpha, what's happening?" The sounds of footsteps entering Lia and Asher's house woke me up. I was shocked that I could still hear them from a far distance despite the fact that I no longer have a wolf.

"Where is the girl, Amelia?" I heard Alpha David's faint voice ask, then I heard Lia's voice.

"Whose girl?" She asked, sounding confused but we all know who's the girl that the Alpha was talking about. That would be me.

"Don't f**k with me! I am your alpha and you must obey me, understand? Now, where is that girl who hurt Cheryl? She will be severely punished for hurting this pack's future Luna!" Alpha David roared that shook my eardrums to life. And I felt the urge to stand up and punch the life out of him for shouting at my sister-in-law.

How dare he shout at her? He has no right to do that. Alpha or not.

I tried to move but I couldn't. No matter how hard I try, I can't. Even move an inch. Everything felt numb.

And that's when I realized it.

I can hear slightly from afar like I have a wolf and maybe I can also see in the dark like I have a wolf… but I can't heal fast unlike them. Before every time Narisa and her husband hurt me physically, it didn't last long. I have a fast healing power just like the others in this pack. Every werewolf has a fast healing ability but mine was far better than any of them. That's why I hid in the attic or my room every time I had bruises because I don't want them to see how fast I could heal. It's like magic. It's fascinating to see how fast I heal.

But that was before. Before he rejected me.

I felt like I had lost myself. I felt like I had died the moment he rejected me and the feeling became only worse when I lost Eve.

I can't even open my eyes! That how weak and pathetic I am now!

"Alpha, what are you doing here?" I was brought back to life when I heard Asher's voice. He sounds tensed and that only makes me want to see what's happening outside this room.

"Asher, good. You're here." Alpha David's voice was now calm and there's no hint or trace that he growled at Lia earlier.

I mentally shook my head.

He's still afraid of Asher. I know it since I was young. But the pack seems oblivious of that fact. I don't know why but the Alpha seems to know something that made him so afraid of my brother. Asher was not the glaring type of guy. He's not scary. He's sweet and from what Lia had told me so many times, Asher was actually a big baby. He's the perfect mate from what I could tell.

But now that I think of it, I realized that I haven't seen him talk to anyone in this pack beside Lia and Goldie, of course. Whenever I saw him, we were all inside of this house. Believe it or not, I actually haven't had any interaction with him outside of this pack so I have no idea of how he acts towards them. I think it's because of the fact that I'm always working whenever I'm outside. I don't have any friends and I wasn't allowed to have fun outside. That's Narisa's order. Even though I'm already of age, she somewhat manages to blackmail me until I'm twenty-nine years old, but until then, she still has me around my neck since I'm only twenty-six.

"What's going on?" I heard Asher's confused but cold voice ask and I'm sure that if my eyes were only open right now, I would have pooped out of its socket. Am I hallucinating or it really is my brother who just spoke? It's so unlike him. Asher always acts like an i***t. A lunatic but now…

Alpha David finally answered hesitantly after a long moment of silence. "W-we are here for Hope. I know that she's here somewhere. So don't bother denying it."

"What do you need from my sister?" He asked.

"They'll be going to punish her, Ash. Don't let them hurt Hope. She's in pain. She still hasn't woken up and I'm starting to worry. They can't punish her." Lia's voice was shaking and worry was evident in her tone.

I tried was again to move any part of my body didn't respond to any of my pleas. It's like my brain was the only thing that's working.

I mentally laugh bitterly.

Who wouldn't be in this position after being rejected, beaten, and losing my own wolf? This felt like torture that the thought of me dying seems pleasing to my ears.

"What did she do to be punished? I know my sister very well and I know you do too, so tell me, what did she do to be punished?" I felt my heart stop for a second by what Alpha David just said.

They're going to punish me just like what Cheryl said. I want to laugh. I'm starting to get insane. So she really did it. And to think that Max did nothing to stop her hurt like hell. The bond is still there. It was broken by his rejection but not fully though because I still haven't accepted it. There's still a pull between us but not stronger like before.

And I don't dare to accept it. Somehow, despite what happened, I still believe that I can persuade him to accept me. I love him since we were young. The pull was there ever since I saw him in his father's office, playing with toys. But when I think of what happened to Eve makes my heartache. I want to blame him and be mad at him but if Eve was here, she would say that I should fight for him. She would tell me to not let Cheryl take what's mine. So that's what I'm trying to tell myself.

Even if I so badly want to blame Max for everything.

"She hurt Cheryl Smith, Alpha Francis of Titan Pack's daughter and the future Luna of this pack. She did not only disrespected her in front of my son, Max but also tried to seduce him to be the Luna." He scoffs. "How pathetic-"

"Alpha," There's a warning in Asher's voice that made Alpha David stop. Then, he continues. "Do you have proof to that?"

"Yes. Cheryl has bruises and cuts and my son was a witness! Now, where is that woman?! She must be punished!" Now, Alpha David sounds mad. Mad at me.

"Asher, don't let them." I heard Lia's faint whisper.

"How dare you say that! That woman needs to be punished! I will not tolerate her bad behavior-"

My consciousness starts to drift off as the sounds outside seem to stop or are they just my ears? I felt weak and sleepy.

No. I need to fight this. Stay awake, Hope. Stay awake. Don't give in to the darkness…

But the more I fight it, the more you became weak and that makes the darkness suck me into oblivion even more.

Until I lost my consciousness.
