Reject Me, Alpha!

Announcement

~ Athena’s POV ~

At the packhouse

It’s a good thing that I am back, but my phone was continuously ringing and I know who exactly is missing me. Well, I am not in the mood to pick up her call. She is already with Ryan, so Fiona can surely come back with him. That car is mine and there is one thing about me that I am proud of and that is that I don’t like to share my things and they have already snatched away lots of my things and that, too, without my knowledge and permission.

I looked at my wristwatch and suddenly, I heard a knock on the door. After knocking one more time, that person finally opened the door as they were already told that the Alpha’s daughter is mute. My dear uncle was just looking after the Alpha’s position, but soon he would pass down the position to his son Ash. Now, I understand why he tried to prove to the others that she was just useless.

When I turned around, I saw one of the omegas bringing a package for me. She just bowed her head and a sad smile appeared on my face. There was a time when my condition was worse than hers and I didn’t notice what they had all gone through in my last life, but this time, I won’t let anyone do injustice to me or even to the people who are around me.

To change their situation, first I need to change myself. So, even if I am wolfless, I am not going to give up. I will train hard just like my father wants me to do. Some experiences leave a deep mark on us and I am not sure about anything else, but I do have a lot of bad experiences.

I signalled the girl to leave the package on my bed and she did exactly what I asked her to do.

The girl turned around to leave my room, so I just grabbed her arm and she stopped in her tracks. I showed my hand to her and she understood that I was asking her to wait.

I opened my closet to search for the black dress which would fit her perfectly. This is the same dress which Fiona liked and she did give a lot of hints that she wanted me to give this dress to her, but when she snatched away my room from me, she not only burnt down all my dressed in front of my eyes, but she also destroyed the gifts which my parents left for me.

The girl refused to accept my gift, but when I glared at her, she understood that I was giving her an order, so she immediately accepted the dress. I can see that she is wearing rugs, so there should be no harm in giving her this dress to wear on my eighteenth birthday, right?

“You are too kind, miss Athena”, the girl smiled while she tightly clenched the dress in a tight embrace.

Kind?

She must be mistaken about that. I am no kind. I want her to do something for me.

I typed on my mobile phone and then I showed the screen to the girl.

“What’s your name, huh?”, she read what I had typed on the phone. I then took a few steps and after that, I sat on the edge of the bed.

The young girl stood near me while she looked down on the floor, “I have no name. Everyone just addresses me as Hey or listen to you b***h, that’s what they call me whenever they want me to do their work. I was born without a name. I am just an orphan omega, miss Athena. You should not focus on someone worthless like me.”

An orphan.

‘Just like me’, I thought inside my head while I gazed at the omega girl with a half-smile on my face. She was not there when my parents were alive as they didn’t believe them to treat the pack members as their slaves. So, that means that my dear uncle must have brought her in the pack.

“I will tell you what you need to do after today’s party, so don’t forget to wear the dress”, I typed again on my phone and she just read it out loud. I then placed one leg over the other and the girl nodded her head.

Omegas are told to hear what the other person asks them to do and they are just treated like s**t. In my case, it was worse as I was not only the twins' personal punching bag and a slave for the whole pack. I don’t remember seeing this girl in my last life. She must have been killed after my eighteenth birthday for some reason. The death of lowly people has no effect on others in the pack and that’s what I learned when I was a slave.

Before she could leave the room, I picked up the blanket from my bed and after that, I gave her the blanket. She was confused at first, but she didn’t ask me anything and after grabbing the blanket, she walked out of the room. I kept my phone on the bed while I remembered the cold days which I spent on the floor. I used to sleep on the floor without any blanket or pillow. I slid my fingers on my soft mattress while I closed my eyes.

I got up from bed and when I opened the package, a smirk appeared on my face as it was the same dress which Fiona had gifted me and I believed that it was Ryan who bought it for me.

Well, the red dress is beautiful, but I didn’t notice that it was tampered with at that time and I was almost naked at that time in front of the whole pack, but someone protected me. I don’t remember that person or his face, but after helping me out, he just left the party. In werewolves, it’s common to be naked around each other, but as I didn’t even have my first shift, there was no need for me to walk around naked in front of those people.

It's better that I start to make a record of the events that I remember or else, I might forget about the main events that are going to happen to me shortly.

I crumbled the dress and after that, I put it on fire. The smoke was filling my room, so I opened the windows. Fiona thinks that she knows my weakness and that she will be able to laugh at me after stealing everything from me.

I still can’t let them know that I have got my voice back or they will be alerted and they might even finish me off because of their selfish reasons.

Let’s search for a nice outfit for today’s party. I need to take a nice shower as I can still smell that insane Alpha’s cologne on my body. He has not only left his marks, but also his scent on me. After messing with my whole closers, I finally found a perfect dress for today’s party.

Suddenly, I heard another knock on my door, so I immediately hid the gown which I was holding in my hands.

“Where were you, Athy? I got so scared of you that I left the club and I didn’t even do any shopping”, Fiona asserted in a panicked tone while her forehead was covered with sweat. She was even huffing just to convince me that she covered the distance between the club and the packhouse with her legs.

If she did the same performance for some soap opera, then she would surely win the best actress award without a doubt. Her neck and her chest were covered in hickeys. She must have spent such a romantic evening with my boyfriend. Well, technically, Ryan is still my boyfriend as we started dating when I was around sixteen.

I told her that I was fine by signals and she just smiled at me.

“Oh, you were searching for something in the closet”, she asked, and I nodded my head. I showed her one of my least favourite dresses and she assumed I was going to wear it at today’s party.

She took the dress away from my grasp while she moved her hand on the gown’s fabric.

“It’s so beautiful. You will seriously look breath-taking in this gown. I wish I had something like this for today’s party, but I don’t have a decent thing to wear.

I think I will have to repeat my dress as I don’t have enough time to shop for anything else”, she sighed after telling me her sorry state, which is surely not the correct thing, as she is obviously lying through her teeth about her condition.

She just wants this dress because I want to wear it. That’s how her nature is and I didn’t notice a thing in all these years.

Well, she can have it and I want her to wear it to today’s party. That’s why I intentionally picked this dress for her. I gave her the dress and she glanced at me wide-eyed like she was stunned by my actions. She did deny me initially, but finally, she accepted the yellow gown.

“Why have you coveted your neck with a handkerchief? Are you hurt somewhere? Do you want me to call the pack daughter to examine your body?”, she asked me in a calm voice, but I just shook my head with all my might.

“Both of you, get ready. We are going to hold a ball for you. Father has already invited all his friends and other Alphas to the party. I heard that he was going to announce the party. You have less than an hour, so immediately get ready”, exclaimed Enzo in a loud voice, while Ash just silently followed him.

Announcement?

What kind of announcement is he going to make at my birthday party? Is he going to appoint Ash as the Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack?

My eyes then fell on Ash and his green eyes were fixated on my handkerchief which was covering my neck, so he walked closer towards me.

What should I do?

I can’t let them find out about the marks. I need to do something, but what?

I gulped down hard when he stood only an inch apart from me. He moved his hand closer to the handkerchief and I just looked at his fingers with wide eyes.

My heart is telling me to punch him hard on his face, but my mind is telling me to hold back for a few more minutes.

Everything is happening because of that crazy Alpha. If something did happen to me, then I would surely haunt him for the rest of his life.

Meanwhile,

“Why can’t you select a single woman, huh? Can’t you see that this pack needs his Luna and you will remain incomplete without your mate? Just settle down in your life for goddess sake, Hayden. At this rate, I might die without even looking at my grandchildren's faces”, asserted the ex-Alpha, Arthur and Hayden’s father in a low while he glanced at his son with a doleful expression on his face.

“I have been listening to this same dialogue for more than five years now, father. Don’t you get tired of your melodrama? I can’t believe that you used to be the Alpha of this pack. Grandfather was right about you. Why can’t you be like other Alphas? We are taught to be emotionless. Grandfather told me not to give myself any weakness. I must be ready to discard anything and I agree with his words.

An Alpha can’t have any sort of weakness and if I did hold a woman then she might become my downfall, which I won’t allow to happen at any cost”, Hayden told him in a cold voice while he emptied the glass of rum in one single gulp.

His father became quite disheartened after hearing his words, but he still didn’t give up as he wanted his son to have all the happiness which he didn’t have in his life. He knows that he is not proud of him, as Hayden believes that he is just a weakling and a shame in the name of Alpha. He knows everything and why his son doesn’t want to talk with him for more than half an hour.

“I don’t know about anything else, but I have already asked Dylan to cancel all your meetings as we are going to a ball where you will meet lots of she-wolves and who knows, you may even find your mate at that party. You are coming with me and that’s the end of this conversation”, he told Hayden, and he just gazed at his father with disbelief written all over his face.

He looked at Dylan, but he just lowered his head.

“I seriously can’t believe this. You cancelled all my meetings just because of a stupid ball. When will you start to act your age, old man?”, he asked his father, and Arthur had just left the main hall without replying to anything to him.

When he heard the word mate from his father’s mouth, he suddenly remembered about the silver-eyed girl who bit him on his earlobe.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on his face, but before anyone could notice him, he immediately changed his expression.

“What the f**k am I doing? Why can’t I stop thinking about that girl?”, mumbled Hayden to himself while he walked towards the window of the main hall. He then tapped his index finger on the glass of the window while he closed his eyes.

For some reason, Hayden can still remember her intoxicating scent, which makes him and his wolf quite excited. He thought about his father's words while his eyes were still closed, but he immediately opened his eyes as he saw a familiar face whenever he closed his eyes.

"I need to meet this mate of mine, as because of her I am getting restless", he mumbled to himself while he asked Dylan to get ready for the party.
