Alpha Maximus The Last Lycan novel Chapter 3

"No, it's not right! You are not fit to be Luna or my mate! I won't accept this curse from the Moon Goddess!" he angrily says.

"I Alpha Tate of the Black Wood pack reject you Slave to be my Mate and Luna!" he spits.

We both instantly fall to the ground in pain. My eyes well up, and tears run down my face as I cry out in pain from the rejection.

Alpha Tate is holding himself up against the wall clinging to his chest, trying to contain the pain.

Pack members step out of their rooms to see what is going on. They are shocked to see the Moon Goddess has made Alpha Tate my mate but are happy to see I've been rejected.

Everyone smirks and laughs as I try to stand up. I have to use the wall to lean on as I flee the hallway and return to my attic.

I burst into tears as I lay on my mattress.

Mate rejected us! Storm says sadly.

"This is our fate now, Storm. We will never be anything more than "Slave" to this pack, and we will never know what it will be like to have a mate and what it's like to be loved.' I sob.

A few months pass. During this time, Alpha Tate had new members join our pack who would torment and abuse me just as much as the other pack members would, especially Ava, who started sleeping with Alpha Tate.

I haven't spoken since the day Alpha Tate rejected me.

It's become rare to hear from my wolf since the rejection. I don't blame her, though. If I could hide away, I would too.

Never being able to ever shift into my wolf before, it gave the pack another reason

to beat and bully me, saying I was a freak of nature that I couldn't even shift.

After spending the day scrubbing the floors, I was just about to be finished when Alpha Tate and Ava walk past me, hand in hand.

Ava kicks the bucket of the dirty water over and laughs while Alpha Tate glares at me.

"How you ended up with this freak of a slave in our pack bewilders me, Alpha.' Ava says.

"Well, she was such a freak and abomination that her parents abandoned her as a baby in the woods to die. My father was Alpha at the time. A pack member found her by chance and decided to keep her as a pack slave.' he tells Ava.

Ava laughs. "Fancy being so hated that even your own parents didn't want you!" she taunts.

Continuing to mop the water up, I try to ignore their hurtful words. The tears flood my face as I begin to sob.

"Oh, the little slave is crying!" Ava says with a chuckle. Alpha Tate also laughs. Then as they leave, Alpha Tate slips on the dirty water falling on his back.

A loud snap is heard as Alpha Tate screams in agony, "My back! My back! I think it's broken! I can't move!" he yells.

"Alpha Tate!" Ava screams and gets down on her knees, hovering over him. She then looks in my direction. "Well, don't just stand there! Do something, Slave, this is all your doing!" she yells.
