~ALEXIA~
Rejection has always been one invisible scar that I have been trying to avoid, especially in the case of your mate being an alpha or even, the alpha king. Everybody was quite aware of the fact that, at the moment, words always had the power to drain the life out of your wolf.
It was already bad that I was frail, but considering the current situation of my wolf, I had no words to describe it. Pain and wimpy were understood and I wished that the goddess had not made him, my so-called another half if he was going to hurt me in the end.
I had to applaud him for playing me. The reassurance and the memories shattered me completely and I couldn`t believe it. It was the same person who chose to hurt me with no sign of remorse at all.
I was majorly concerned about my wolf because her silence didn`t sit well with me, "Blair, how do you feel now?"
I knew the answer to the question that I asked and it was really silly, but I still needed to show care to her.
"Drained," she answered in a low tone that I could barely hear.
"I am sorry, Blair. I didn`t mean to put us through this. Was it a wrong choice?" I inquired her.
Even if it was, the time was already late to make amends because Zac would not give me a second chance after refusing his order.
"Of course, not. Why would you think so? You did the right thing, Lexia. I would have been upset if you let him have his way with you after such disrespect. I never expected this from him, I thought he was different." she told me.
"No means no, but I guess Zac didn`t understand much," she added.
I stared at the bruises that he inflicted on my body, it was surely going to take time to heal since I was an omega.
"Don't worry, Alexia. We will surely survive this, the pain will go away with time. Please, don`t let this affect you, it`s his loss."
She was trying to comfort me when it was supposed to be the other way. No wolf was ever happy when it got rejected.
His words kept ringing in my head about how lonely I was going to be and I knew that it was the truth. Aside from him, nobody would want to be with me.
I was still deep in my thoughts when my adoptive mother barged into my room with fury written all over her face, she didn’t even care to know what happened as she ordered me, " Come out, right now and deal with the trouble that you have created.’’
"I don't just understand why, everywhere you go, there must be one report or another. Now, you have done your worst by stepping on his toes. I made a great mistake by adopting you. I should have chosen another." she deadpanned.
Just as expected, Zac was about to deal with me and I had prepared myself for it. I was the one who was wrong, not the other way around. Nobody was going to stand in my favor, so I had to be there for myself.
I stepped out of the room and she trailed behind, mumbling words to herself like she was tired of my existence.
As I descended the stairs, I found some young men waiting for me, "Good morning."
"Save your greetings. We are people from the werewolf court and Alpha King Zac has lodged a complaint against you for seduction and attack. You must come with us to defend yourself," the leader stated.
I didn't protest because there was no point. I quietly obeyed them as we left my pack house and headed towards the court space where Zac and the judge were waiting for me.
We got there in no time and my heart started racing fast again when I perceived his scent. People were already waiting to hear my side of the story and he brought witnesses too. Or should I say, Cassy made herself available because she wanted to be the better option.
I proceeded to greet the judge and ignore Zac like he wasn't an important werewolf in the kingdom,
"Good morning, My Lord."
Respect was earned and not demanded, he had lost it from me.
The judge only nodded his head in response before the questions were thrown at me. Apparently, my ex-mate twisted the story so that things would work in his favor.
"Nothing of the sort happened, my Lord. I never attempted to seduce him. I have been keeping my virginity for a while now till I was fully ready for it. I would never force myself on a man," I answered.
"Then, explain the attack."
Was it that these people couldn’t see the marks on my body or they were deliberately acting blind because it was the Alpha King involved?
"I didn't attack him, it was self-defense. He tried raping me after I caught him cheating on me with my sister, Cassy. You can go ahead and ask her or am I telling a lie, Cassy?" I turned to look at her and she didn't reciprocate the action.
"It's not your job to question her!"
Alpha King Zac clicked his tongue and shook his head, which drew everybody's attention, " Tsk tsk. She always wants to act smart, yet she is bad at it."
"Spare the judge the lies, Alexia. Here's the truth, I went to her house so I could reject her. She's an omega and isn't fit for the Luna position in my pack. I wanted her sister, Cassy, because she was actually the daughter of Beta. Unfortunately, Alexia got offended and pulled a psychotic stunt on me by trying to seduce me and when I made it clear that I had no feelings for her, she proceeded to talk to me with objects."
The manner in which the lies rolled out of his mouth perfectly made me wonder what else he lied about while we were dating. Zac was indeed a two-faced person and I was glad that this happened to show his true self, else I would have been stuck in misery forever.
The judge diverted his attention back to Cassy, "Ms. Cassy, is this true? Can you attest to what Alpha King Zac is saying?"
She stood and bowed her head, "Yes, my lord. He said nothing but the truth. I saw everything happen with my own eyes. Alexia was so desperate that she wanted to use her body to win him back. The whole virginity thing is a lie because a true virgin would never behave like that. I would not be surprised if she secretly cheated on our alpha king."
My so-called family couldn't support him, they weren't my blood after all. I didn't know why I expected so much from them.
After a session of questions and answers, judgment was served for me, "Ms. Alexia of the Silver Heart Pack will spend two years in the Flame Academy and expiate her guilt. That is my judgment!"
The innocent were always wrongly accused and now, my freedom and mate have been taken away from me. The smirk on the faces of Zac and Cassy informed me that they were surely going to celebrate their victory today.
Later in the night, I was immediately taken to the academy after my luggage was brought from my old home.
"This will teach you never to mess with the alpha king again. If you cause more havoc here, your time will surely be increased." the guard told me before dropping me off.
Anxiety was eating me up as I stood in front of the big black gate with electric barbed wires on the high fence. Some of the werewolves were staring at me through the bars and their faces weren’t nice at all.
It was over for me.
I gulped down my saliva as the gate slowly opened and I stepped in while mentally kissing my freedom, goodbye because one thing about this place was that, even if you managed to escape through the gate. There was a spell cast on the border that werewolves wouldn't be able to pass until their time had fully expired. We were literally outcasts until we became good again.
I was able to locate my room after strict instructions were given to me by the administrator and I wasn't prepared for what I saw there.
My mouth dropped open when I saw three sexy werewolf guys as my roommates. This was a case of being too hot to handle.
