His Rejected Mate

Chapter 12

Remo's POV

How is a monster born?

Many people would say that when a person is born, evil is born within him. But many will forget that sometimes people create evilness in other people purely for fun.

I don't regret becoming what I am today.

Feared.

Strong.

King.

I had to pay a huge price to become this way. A price that took half of my soul, and turned my heart black. I had lost all emotion, but what would I become if I had emotions?

Nothing.

No one.

Surely not a king.

Tragic, but sometimes it's better than living in a fake fairytale.

Every time I leave a battlefield, with each step I take, I leave a trail of broken spirits and shattered dreams, for empathy holds place in my kingdom of ruthlessness.

16 years ago.

"Did you bring the kids?" I heard a raspy voice outside my cage. It was dark inside, I was chained and injected with wolfsbane. My hands were itchy, but other than that I wasn't feeling anything.

"Yes, they are in the cages ready for you master." A faint voice said, making me shiver. It was the same one that approached me when I was outside my home.

"Good." I heard the smirk in his voice.

I didn't know who these people were, but I knew that their intentions were evil. But they can't do anything, because I have Lycan blood in my system. They can't overtake me and the effect of the wolfsbane will go eventually.

"Get up." Suddenly, the cage was opened, and I was pulled out.

Two big men were looking at me, smirking. I instantly knew their faces. I once saw my father torturing the other one.

Cowards, they can't face my father, so they kidnapped me. I rolled my eyes and waited for their poor attempt.

They threw a shovel at me and I caught it before it hit my face. I looked around and it was dark. We were in a forest and it was dark. Two other boys were standing in front of me, and I instantly knew they were both Lycans. With shovels in our hands, we were ordered to start digging.

We started digging confused as to what we were doing, but they were instructing us. It looked like 3 graves were being digged. Once we were done,

"You! Put this metal cage in this grave." They ordered me and I pulled it effortlessly despite my small size.

The other two did the same thing, and we were suddenly pushed inside the cages.

"Bury them." We heard soil hitting the cage.

“Hey! Let us out!” One of the boys screamed, but there was no feae in his voice, only annoyance.

What the fück did they think they were doing?

Suddenly it started to become dark and there was no oxygen. We were suffocating in our own graves, and panicked settled inside of me.

I tried to pull the soil of my face but it kept falling on me.

Back to the present.

One would think that this is how we become monsters. But is it though?

I was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard the door opening. I was waiting for her, and I knew instantly when she comes.

Her smell would invade my nostrils, filling me with a sensation I never felt before.

Is it enough to pull me out of the darkness I’ve lived in my whole life?

I looked up and for the first time I was breathless. She didn’t look like the beaten girl I found.

She looked like a queen, and that’s exactly who she is. She is a queen to every fücking wolf to ever exist. And whoever dares to challenge me I will kïll him.

Ever since I found her I swore that I would protect her. And I can’t think of anything happening to her.

“Sit.” I ordered.

She blushed and took a seat next to me. I put my hand on hers and looked into her blue eyes.

She was fidgeting with her other hand. I pulled a strand of her brown hair behind her ear.

“There will be a coronation ceremony in a week so you could claim your position as the queen.”

“But I am not r-ready.” She said looking at her plate.

“Rebecca will help you.” She looked at me with confused eyes. She nodded nonetheless.

I knew that she is uncomfortable about Rebecca but I can’t deny that she is the strongest she wolf in the pack and that she would help Ella with the preparation especially in this short period of time.

“Okay the king is waiting for you.” Talia squealed as I finished getting dressed.

I just hope I don’t fück things up since I am still not comfortable with Remo. But I am trying to accommodate.

Talia led me downstairs and it took us nearly 10 minutes to get to the dining room.

“You look gorgeous stop fidgeting, he will be mesmerized.” Talia smiled at me holding my hand and squeezing it. I squeezed it back and nodded.

Maybe I can make friends here.

That makes me think about Ivy. How is she doing and if she is fine. I am really worried about her, but I know that she can take good care of herself. She is a beta’s daughter at the end of the day.

I entered the room, and Remo’s head snapped up and looked at me. I was shaking a but, cause in my old pack when I was the center of attention, I would get a good beating.

But I knew tis is not the case, as Remo would never lay a hand on me.

Or will he?

The dinner went smoothly, as I ate the food I was served, and it was the most delicious thing I have ever tasted.

The thought of Rebecca helping me for coronation made me feel uneasy, but if he thinks it’s for the best, then I am sure that it’s for the best.

I just hope that she really helps me and not be a bïtch to me.

“What are you thinking about mate?” Remo snapped me from my thoughts and I was met with intense eyes.

“Nothing.” I replied looking at my hands.

In a second Remo was behind me, pulling the chair away and making me stand up.

“W-what?” I asked unsure of what he is doing.

“Dance?” He pulled my hand in his and soft royal music started playing.

I looked at him confused, as I have never danced before.

“Neither did I. But there are always exceptions.” He smirked and we started moving to the rhythm of the music.

How did he know what I was thinking about?

“You are easy to read mate.” For the millionth time, I was shocked how good he is in reeding me.

He knew me without even saying anything, and that made me feel at ease.
