REJECTED SLAVE QUEEN

Chapter 1

Jolie’s POV

With all my work for the day completed, a surge of joy spread through my body as I headed toward Dan’s room. Dan Sullivan, my unwavering friend in this pack, has been my sole source of support amid the constant judgment I face daily. Being labeled as a living stigma and an outcast burdened me, but after turning eighteen without experiencing my wolf's awakening or transformation even intensified it, I accepted being regarded as an Omega.

Abandoned at the Blue Moon pack's doorstep eighteen years ago, I've come to terms with the idea that I hold no value to anyone. Despite this, having a Beta friend like Dan is a blessing in this place where I feel utterly useless and unwanted.

Counting my steps eagerly, anticipation and a sense of freedom overwhelmed me. Tonight, my troubles, worries, and shame would end, and a new beginning would unfold. Finally, I would belong and become an ordinary member of the pack. Dan’s love for me, coupled with the realization that he is my mate, intensified my happiness to an overwhelming extent. I have been waiting so for years, when my other mates met their wolves and knew who their mates were at 16, I was devastated because that means I was even more unlucky than they call me.

But today all my worries have come to an end, now I found my mate.

Allow me to introduce myself as Jolie, a person without a surname. I was left at the pack's gate eighteen years ago, with my parents' identities lost to me. Mockery for being abandoned at such a young age has been a constant occurrence in my life. While I appreciate the Alpha's efforts during that time, I often wonder if it would have been better if they had turned a blind eye and let me succumb to the elements. I've endured the pain of being written off as a mere slave and have strived to prove myself.

Although the previous Alpha's continued presence would have been a blessing, he succumbed to a rare illness that claimed several lives among us.

Caught off guard by someone’s interruption, It was Shannon, I greeted her with frustration. Shannon, one of Dan’s friends and the daughter of a high-ranking official, has always shown dislike toward me. I usually avoid her, but this time, I couldn't escape her questioning.

“I don't understand why you are so lost in thought and smiling, you should be in the kitchen or something. Dinner is just in a few hours” She said, staring deeply at me, probably waiting for an answer.

“You don't need to worry about that, I have that covered,” I said, making my way to leave her presence.

“What do you mean? So we won't eat?”

“Someone is taking my space today. You will eat when it is time. Now let me go” I argued, and I was getting really impatient too.

“I know why you have that atuppstupid smirk on your face” I looked at her, waiting for her next words.

“You should let me go” She was now holding onto my arm.

“Dan! He told us all about it. You better run while you can.

He has no good plans for you”

“Shit! I knew you were going to say that. You and your friends just want Dan to stop talking to me the same way you stopped talking to me years ago. He is not like you. He has shown me more grace than all of you combined here. If you want to be worried about anything, worry about your mother and tell your cheating father to stop hurting her” Those words ceased the words she was about to utter from her mouth and that pleased me. I am tired of hearing those kinds of stupid advice from everyone. None of them have shown me a quarter of the love that Dan has shown me.

After talking my heart out and reassuring her that my chores were done and the kitchen work was being taken care of, I left her, I dismissed her concerns about my early completion and her threats, knowing they wouldn't deter what was about to happen between Dan and me.

Urging her to let me go, I left Shannon standing there and headed towards Dan’s room, feeling relieved that his love and loyalty would shield me from any harm she tried to inflict.

When I arrived at Dan’s room, I sensed something different about him. Although he should have realized I was his mate, he hadn't mentioned it, making me hesitant to bring it up. I decided to let the night unfold naturally, hoping he would discover the bond between us on his own.

Knowing he was my mate made this night all the more significant. I trusted Dan completely and saved my virginity for him. Despite my nerves, I felt safe with him. He met me halfway, drawing me in for a passionate kiss, and I reveled in the moment. His touch and caress were unlike anything I had experienced before. I poured my heart out, expressing my happiness and the impact he had on my life. However, he didn't respond, and we continued kissing without needing words.

Just as I started to speak, Dan silenced me and proceeded to undress both of us, his eyes locked on mine. Despite feeling no shyness about my nakedness, doubts planted by Shannon lingered in my mind. Before proceeding further, I asked for his comforting words, but his response lacked reassurance.

He searched through his side drawer and brought out a condom. I have seen it a lot of times so I know what it was. I could understand he wanted to prevent any silly pregnancy on our first time. What I was not going to take is if he continues with it on our next time. He had promised we would have a lot of babies and that had also become one of my goals.

The experience didn't live up to my expectations, he was not as sweet or patient as I had read and heard people talk about. He hurried with the whole process that I was not even able to get passed the pain to the enjoyable part. In no time he was done, he pushed me to one side as if he was done with me, finally.

It broke my heart that my most anticipated night was gone in just a matter of minutes. and exhaustion eventually claimed me, providing temporary relief from conflicting emotions.

“I Dan Sullivan, the future Alpha of the Blue Moon pack, reject you, Jolie, as my mate and future Luna,” He said all of a sudden, then he added softly as if it would lessen the impact of his rejection “Please accept my rejection. I am only doing this for your good. And I will also like it very much if you could leave this pack. No one wants you here anyway. No one would miss you. . . Except me of course” As he talked, I held my chest that felt like it was going to explode the next minute on my side of the bed. The impact of the bond breaking was getting really unbearable for me.

Tears filled my heart, a friendship I have known to have was breaking. Now I am left with no one.

Despite not wanting to accept his rejection and begging him to reconsider, the pain in my heart didn't help me to form those words. I knew that I have to accept his rejection to feel the impact of the cut. And only then will my pain disappear.

I sat up and looked at him, he was not in any discomfort, I have only heard bond breaking weigh more on the female than the male. Now I see it myself.

“I Jolie, a no-name omega, accept your rejection as your mate and your future Luna” I could almost hear the break. I passed out on the bed, not knowing what the rest of my life held for me.
