His Rejected Mate

Chapter 2: Ella’s POV

Ella's POV

I don't know how many days I stayed in this hellhole, I stopped counting a while ago. Especially that I can't see the sun, so I can't tell if it's day or night.

Ivy tried many times breaking the door so she could enter and be with me, but she nearly broke her shoulder, so she is resting.

I feel guilty, especially when I heard her whimpers. She constantly yelled at Mrs Colleen to let her come in, but she refused.

I was hungry and I can feel myself fading. I couldn't stand up anymore, and my wolf was weak.

I hate weaknesses.

But I vow that if I come out alive, I will kill him. I will avenge my parents, and myself. I just need a plan to escape as soon as I am out of here.

Fuck him if he thinks he can control me.

But how can a malnourished girl like me, defeat a whole pack of strong wolves?

I hate being helpless, and I regret not leaving before. I don't want a mate anymore if my mate wants me dead.

Suddenly the lock clicked, and the door was opened.

"Get up." Mrs Colleen barked.

I stood on shaky legs glaring at her. She's been my tormentor for 13 years. I never thought about hurting her, but ever since I was locked in here, violent thoughts invaded my mind.

I see myself hitting her, like she did to me. Slashing her back, punching her. But I will be dead in minutes, because I will be surrounded with pack members.

I have nightmares because of her, they don't leave me ever. I feel suffocated in my own body.

"Walk." She ordered and I complied willingly, happy to leave the basement.

My hands were shaking, and my heart was beating erratically.

She led me outside the empty pack house, but once I saw everyone gathered around the alpha, I knew instantly that they are waiting for me.

"Ella!" Ivy screamed and ran towards me engulfing me in a hug.

"Ivy, thank god you are okay." I whispered.

"A broken shoulder won't stop me from fighting for you. Plus I healed in barely 30 minutes." She replied looking into my blue eyes.

"No Ivy, you might get hurt. I am fine." I looked around me. People were snarling at me.

"Whatever happens today, I will help you escape." She whispered.

"Thank you." I smiled at her and walked towards my mate.

My heart shouldn't skip a beat when I see him. I am supposed to hate him. He will reject me and most probably kill me.

"I know everyone is wondering why the traitor's daughter is here." Dean said.

I will no longer refer to him as alpha. He doesn't deserve the title.

Everyone murmured and I heard the bad words they spoke about me. I may be weak, but my senses were strong.

Whöre.

Traitor.

Filthy girl.

I ignored them and walked to the center. mrs Colleen put shackles on my hands, and I hissed.

Wolfsbane.

"I came back here, and found out that the moon goddess did a big mistake. She paired me with her." He spat and the crowd gasped.

Including Ivy.

"But that won't stay for long of course. It is time we get rid of her." Alpha Benson yelled, and I flinched.

"I, Alpha Dean Smith, reject you Ella Scott, as my mate and future Luna."

An immense pain shot inside me and I crumbled to the ground groaning, my wolf whimpering.

But that wasn't all.

"I hereby sentence you for treason, and you will be executed by beheading."

Death would be very appealing right now, I just wanted this pain to stop.

Ivy was crouching in front of me saying something, but I couldn't hear her, because my ears were ringing.

I wanted to claw my heart out. I need to get out of my skin.

I started scratching it screaming.

Dean looked down at me with his cold eyes, but I saw a flicker of hurt in them. His hands were twitching.

I was pulled by Ivy and she helped me towards the pack house.

"Ivy step away from her." Dean growled.

"I'm sorry alpha." She replied and pushed me inside with her.

"He will punish you." I gasped, feeling the pain starts to lessen as I walked away from Dean.

"I don't mind. You will run away tonight Ella." She pulled a bag from under her bed and started filling it with clothes.

"Ivy those are y-"

"No they are yours now. I will put food and water inside the bag too. It will supply you for 2 weeks at least." She replied working fast.

"If they find out-"

"They won't. I will cover our tracks. Now sleep you need it. I won't let anyone in here."

"What about those." I said showing her my burning shackled wrists.

"Hold on." She left the room and minutes later she came back inside with a hammer.

I put my hands on the wall for support, and with her strength she broke them.

I sighed in relief. Thank god they are off my hands.

"Now listen to me Ella. Get some sleep and I will wake you up when everyone is asleep. We need to be careful. You will get out of here."

"Ivy you don't have to do this."

"No I don't. But I want to. Now lay down."

I nodded and laid on her clean bed, wincing when I noticed my filthy clothes, but I was too tired to care.

Few hours later

“Ella wake up.” I forced my eyes open, and look at Ivy’s distressed face.

“What happened?”

“You should leave now.” She replied zipping the bag and giving it to me.

“Is something wrong?” I ask inspecting her body for any injury.

“No I am fine, but you won’t be soon. I overheard that they will barge in here after 10 minutes and take you to the cell. I can’t hold them all Ella.” She replied.

“Okay, I will jump from the window.” She nodded.

The guards will be busy right now, they are preparing your death sentence. It will be easy to leave the borders.”

I nodded and stood up, relieved that my wounds have healed already.

“Now go.” She ushered me.

“Thank you so much Ivy.” I hugged her.

“You are like a sister to me Ella.” She kissed my cheek, and I jumped out of the window, not before I saw her cutting her hand.

“What-“

“HELP!” She screamed, looking me in the eye pleading me to leave fast.

I immediately realized what she did. She will pretend that I hurt her and left. She won’t be punished thank god.

I shifted into my wolf, put the bag on my back and ran in full speed, heading towards the borders.

I suddenly heard several footsteps running behind me, and I increased my speed.

I need to get out of here alive. I can’t let them break me. Not like they did to my parents.

“STOP HER!” I heard Dean’s roar, and I couldn’t help but feel something in my heart upon hearing his voice.

Why did it have to be Dean? I don’t want to have a high ranking person as my mate. I want to blend with everyone.

I want to be accepted by everyone. But they want to crash me.

I sighed in relief when I saw the borders and jumped high, landing on the other side of the territory.

I am safer right now, but I should keep going.

“Nothing will stop me from getting you!”

I was suddenly thrown on the floor, Dean’s hands on me.

I was breathing hard.

“Shift.” He ordered.

I shook my head but he won’t take no for an answer.

“Shift!” He growled and I obeyed shifting back to my human form.

He looked down at my näked body, his eyes going from my toes up to my eyes.

I shoved him off me and tried to run again, but he caught my elbow and pulled me back to him.

“Leave me alone! You already rejected me.” I yelled.

He suddenly slapped me and I gasped my face turning to the side. This isn’t something I didn’t experience before. Violence was a constant in my life, and I learned to accept the pain.

“I will kill you tomorrow.” He threw me towards one of the soldiers and walked in front of us.

“Why? I can vanish and you will never see me!” I tired my luck another time, but it was in vain.

He already made his mind, he is going to cut my head off tomorrow.

“Put her in the fücking cell.” He snapped heading to his room, while I was being led to the cells.

The soldier threw me inside the cell and closed it.

“I can’t wait to see your head off your body.” He smirked and left me alone.

No one will break me.

I will die, looking into Dean’s eyes.
