The Alpha's Rejected Mate

Chapter five-Missing

As the terrifying werewolf leaped towards Samantha, a sudden burst of energy surged through her body. Adrenaline coursed through her veins, sharpening her senses as she sprinted through the park, desperately seeking refuge.

With every heartbeat, she pushed herself to the limits, the fear of the unknown driving her forward.

Finally, she emerged from the park, gasping for breath, and quickly hailed a passing taxi.

After some minutes, she got out of the taxi and rushed towards the restaurant. She already saw Derick and Jane. They reached out to her and calmed her down.

She struggled to speak, her words coming out in gasps as she tried to convey the urgency of the situation. “Someone is trailing me, I don't know…but I saw someone following me.” Samantha Mumbled nervously.

Her heart pounding in her chest, the smell of cinnamon and white chocolate. That scent is familiar but she can't remember who it is.

She later realized someone had been watching her, but she didn't know who it was. She delved deeper into the discussion, an unsettling realization dawned on them. Who can it be? And why?

Jane calmed her down and said, “You have nothing to worry about, Sam.” It could be mere hallucination.

But…, she was cut shut by derick, “There's no one, Sam,” calm down. You're here now, no one can harm you. We know about the rejection, Sam. It could have been affecting you, you know?’ he told her.

She nodded curiously, while The waiter served them Hamburger and chocolate milkshake.

Samantha pov

On my way home, I listened attentively to know if someone was following me. Luckily for me, there's no one.

I know it could have been no one but Mandy. She have been wanting to get rid of me. But why quickly? What do I do to deserve all this from her? I have left Cain for her, they'll be marking each other in a couple of days. Is that not enough for her?

I think the best thing to do is to run away to where no one can find me, even Cain. I can't live through the pain of seeing them together everyday. I would have to live through all this pain of losing my mate to someone else. But what about the bond?

There's no other option left for me than to leave this pack. I need to get back to the pack house as fast as I can. The Alpha's crowning would take place in a couple of days and I don't want them to notice me leaving.

Twenty five minutes later, I reached the pack house,I saw a maid coming out from Luna's room which is adjacent to mine. I quietly entered my room, picked necessary things and headed through the dense forest. If I had headed towards the normal route, I'd get caught, which I don't want.

My heart raced as I navigate through the dense forest, my wolf form moving swiftly and silently through the underbrush. As I walked through the forest, my feet cold and shaky, I continue walking so I can get close to the border and sought refuge in a neighborhood pack.

My paws pounded against the forest floor as I sprinted through the dense foliage, my breath coming in ragged gasps. The scent of danger lingered in the air, and mg heightened senses that she was being pursued by rogues.

‘Ohh, not this time. Rogues… What do I do?’ Sam Mumbled within herself. She was scared, there's no one to help her.

Her heart raced as she veered left and right, attempting to shake off her pursuers. The forest seemed to close in around her, its darkened shadows becoming a labyrinth of uncertainty. But no matter how fast she ran or how skillfully she evaded, the rogues persisted, their relentless pursuit only intensifying.

As Samantha darted through a clearing, she suddenly stumbled upon an old, dilapidated cabin. With a surge of desperate hope, she lunged towards it, seeking refuge from her relentless hunters. The door creaked open under her weight, and she rushed inside, the adrenaline still coursing through her veins.

The cabin's interior was dimly lit, its walls adorned with faded photographs and tattered remnants of a forgotten past. Samantha's breath caught as her eyes landed on an old family portrait. It depicted a young girl with auburn hair, her eyes filled with warmth and love. It brings back the memory of her parents before they were brutally killed by the rogues.

‘Mom, Dad, I missed you so much.’ Sam muttered quietly so the rogues won't hear her. Before Samantha could dwell on her memories, the sound of rustling leaves and heavy footsteps echoed from outside of the cabin. The rogues had caught up to her. Panic surged within her, but she knew she had to find a way to escape.

With no other choice, Samantha crept towards the back of the cabin, hoping to find an exit. As she pushed open a rickety door, a sharp pain seared through her body. She gasped, her vision blurring, and stumbled out into the moonlit forest. It was then she noticed the silvery chains wrapped around her limbs, their links infused with deadly wolfsbane and silver.

‘Please let me go, I need to goooo’ she growled at one of the rogues. The rogues had captured her, their intention clear—to suppress her powers and leave her defenseless. Samantha fought against the pain, her determination unyielding. She knew she couldn't let herself be a captive to their cruelty. Suddenly, her vision blurred and she passed out.

Cain pov

The elder council are already at the park house, their expression solemn and resolute. Cain stood among them, a powerful and enigmatic werewolf who would take the leadership from his father and take charge of the blue moon pack.

My father, Alpha Denver is old and would hand over the power as an Alpha of the blue moon pack. But I haven't seen Mandy and Samantha today. Why are they not here at the pack's dinning?

‘Ohh, Sam might be in her room. She have always been a sad and pathetic girl,’ I smirked. But there's something that keeps drawing me closet to her anytime I come across her.

‘Is it the bond between us? Or because she's beautiful? I muttered silently hoping no one would hear me. I feel like hugging and kissing her whenever I set my eyes on her.

But I just can't, I can't mate her. She is weak and pathetic. I need a strong Luna. Suddenly, I was tapped out of my thoughts by my friend, Jacob, the soon-to-be Beta. We've been best friends since we were young. He is tall, handsome and charming. He has a broad shoulders but not as much as mine.

“Hey, Cain. I've been here since but you didn't notice, is everything okay?,” Jacob asked.

I rolled my eyes and leaned back, ‘I am not fine actually’. I need to clear my head, and have you seen Mandy?

‘She went out this morning but hasn't returned back, is there any problem?’ Jacob asked.

I nodded and replied, ‘Okay, jacob.’ I'm heading out now, mind link me when you see any of them.
