Chapter 1 Rejection
"Why are you late, Raiden?..
I almost thought that you have changed your mind.."
A beautiful red hair, lady said, frowning at the man that is standing before her..
With his back, leaning against the hard rock and his eyes closed..
She have been waiting for him at their secret hide out in a cave for a while now, without any sign of him showing up..
Making her to be super worried..
"Dammn meeting's..
My Father, arranged a bride for me, willow.."
Raiden, grunted..
"Br-i-de?"
Willow stuttered, fighting back the tears that is threatening to escape from her eyes..
"Yes.. A political marriage, with the daughter of Alpha Jergal.."
Raiden responded, with a hiss, opening his eyes, to stare at her, with mixed feelings and pity..
"What will happen to us?"
Willow questioned, with trembling lips, dreading the worse..
As she already have an idea of the words that he is going to utter next..
"There is no us..
Can't you see it?
We don't have a future together.."
Raiden responded with a hiss..
"What?
You mean, we should throw everything we had to the wind, because of an alliance marriage that you don't need, as the soon to be Alpha king?"
Willow yelled..
"He is a powerful ally to have, than being an enemy and rebelling..
And the Alpha king have already discussed about me marrying his daughter..
I'm sorry, there is nothing else that i can do.."
Raiden replied..
"There is nothing you can do, huh?
Please cut that crap..
I know you very well, to know that you aren't the type of person to be forced or manipulated to do what he doesn't likes..
Tell me the truth, why are you doing this to me?
And don't lie to me, please.."
Willow sniffed, touching his jaw with her treambling hand and lifting it a bit for him to stare into her pitch black eyeballs..
"My throne is at risk here..
Father, threatened to crown my cousin king, if i don't comply with the marriage.."
He utterd, wishing that she will believe that and leave him the dammn alone..
He no longer have need for her, as he have been using her for his benefits all this while..
Toying with her emotions..
"Liar!!"
Willow screamed, shocking the Alpha prince.
"You want to marry Nova, Jergal daughter, because you both have been having a secret affair, so you're using an arranged marriage to cover up your sexual escapedes with her.."
She yelled, laughing like a mad woman..
Leaving Raiden, speechless..
"How do you know?"
He growled, dropping his pretense and shell of deception..
"I once caught you guys, making love at the lake..
How you thrust into her hard, so shamelessly.."
Willow, said withholding some important information on how she find out that he is cheating on her..
Because telling him, will reveal her true identity..
Which she don't want to, as she will be in danger..
She is the last of her kind, and all the supernatural beings are searching for her..
To control, have unmatched power and control the world , with her powers..
So to Raiden, she is just a helpless and powerless orphan with a memory loss..
"So you were spying on me?"
He hissed, angrily..
"I happened to stumble upon the act..
Your deceit and betrayal.."
Willow said, with tears rolling down her cheek..
She have been a fool and let her guide down by loving him unconditionally and hopelessly..
Ignoring the truths and facts before her..
With the hope that he will come around and love her..
The truth have been glaring right before her, since the first day that she met him..
But she choosed to live in her world of fantasy, ignoring the real reality, that he will never change..
"I see..
Now that you know the truth..
Can we broke up and go our separate ways?
I never had the intention of being with you forever..
You aren't from a royal lineage, neither are you a wolf or rich.."
The Alpha prince said, standing straight..
"But we are soulmates..
Can't you feel the pull?
The sparks.."
Willow utterd, touching him..
Inhaling deeply, he pushed her hand away...
Ignoring the sparks and the howling of his wolf..
"Then i will do it the official way..
I will reject you, Infront of everyone.."
Raiden said, dragging her out of the cave and towards the pack house..
"No no no no!"
She screamed, as he drag her from the forest to the front of the pack house..
Not caring that she struggle to meet up to his pace and not fall flat on her face..
"You aren't going to humiliate me infront of everyone by rejecting me right?"
She couldn't help but ask, feeling scared..
"Why not?
I gave you a chance to go your separate way, privately but you didn't take it.."
He utterd with a dangerous, smirk..
As they stood Infront of the large, modern white building that most of his pack members live in..
"I want everyone to be Infront of the pack house, in the next 5mins..
I have an important announcement to make.."
He said through the pack link in his mind, before shutting it off..
Smirking, he turned to Willow who is staring at him with horror in her eyes, as they heard sounds of footsteps shuffling..
In trios and groups, werewolves started filling the area..
He waited patiently, until everyone is out of the building and the place crowded..
The werewolves who gathered, consist of both male, females, children..
Unmated and mated..
Staring at their soon to be Alpha King, in anticipation, curious to know who the strange lady beside him is..
Willow seeing how crowded the place is, she mutterd low curses, and try to free her hand away from the Alpha prince, iron grip hands but failed woefully..
"Relax honey..
The show is just beginning and you're already in a hurry to run off?
Just stay for a bit, all of this will soon be over.."
Raiden utterd, grinning..
"Raiden please.."
She pleaded, staring at him with her big doe eyes but he averted his gaze away..
"So everyone, i invited y'all here to inform you wolves that i have found my mate.."
He utterd, making the werewolves to start howling happily..
Except a pairs of blue eyes that is filled with rage and a brown own who was just staring at him with indifference..
"Trust me, i know what i'm doing.."
He mutterd to the lady with the pairs of blue eyes and nodded to the middle age man that have the brown eyes..
"There is no need for y'all to be happy, because she is a pauper and not a wolf.."
He utterd, making the grins on their faces to wipe off, and replaced with confusion..
And some with disdains..
At that moment, Willow felt like disappearing than to stand still like an item to be scrutinized with their gazes..
"She is not a wolf?"
They become to murmur in a displeased tune..
"Is she a vampire, witch, fairy, elve or demon then?"
They wondered..
"She is non of those things..
Willow here is not only helpless but powerless..
She doesn't remember the exact group of specie that she belongs to.."
Raiden spat out..
"What?
How can she rule us then?
An orphan that doesn't belongs to any pack or group of species..
She is not fit to be our Queen.."
They murmured, causing the Alpha prince to smirk..
He have already gotten what he wants by turning his people against Willow..
Now, he can reject her, without fearing their retribution..
"Silence..
That is why i call this meeting to reject her Infront of everyone..
And find a more befitting Queen that is capable of ruling beside me.."
He said, meeting the gaze of the lady with the blue eyes, he winked at her and she winked back with a huge grin at the corner of her lips..
There were whispers of approvals from his people, when he made the rejection statement..
Removing his gaze from the lady, he turned his attention to Willow that have her head bowed down, seething in anger..
"I should have done this along time ago but i stalled to give my wolf time to have his fun with you, since he wants you..
Now, i have to do the right thing.."
Raiden said, getting ready to say the rejection words that will break off their bonds as mates..
"Wait..
I'm pregnant.."
Willow dropped the bombshell, wiping off a drop of blood from her eyes, wiping it on her dress quickly to avoid anyone else noticing it, as her powers have started to surface and she is struggling to hold them in and not lose control and wipe them all off from the surface of the earth..
Looking up, as she couldn't hear anymore whispers, she found everyone staring at her in shock, and mixed emotions..
Both of excitement, shock and awe..
Awe that their future alpha king will arrive sooner than expected..
"You're pregnant?
For whom?"
Raiden asked in astonishment..
There was a flash of pain on Willow face, before it turns to resentment, upon hearing the prince words..
"You of course..
What do you even mean by, for whom?
Are you insuinating that the baby isn't your's?"
She snapped at him in anger..
"Yes..
It's possible for you to whore around and get pregnant, then try to pin it on me, to get me to marry you..
As long as i'm concerned, that ill fated, bastard baby growing in your womb, isn't my child and never will be.."
Raiden retorted, with a growl..
Before he could finish his statement, a resounding slap from her, caught him off guide..
Shifting his face to the left and leaving a cut on his lips, making it to bleed..
Leaving everyone in shock, as how a slim looking girl could possessed such powers and audacity to hit their soon to be king..
"Do she wish for death?"
They mutterd..
"You can insult me all you want but never call my baby evil names or accuse me of whoring around..
This baby belongs to you and no man else.."
She said, glaring at Raiden..
"I see what you are trying to do..
You're pulling all manners of tricks to make me to change my mind in rejecting you..
That will never happen..
Either with child or not.."
Raiden suddenly blurted, spatting out blood..
There is a murderous rage look, in his eyes as he glare at her with contempt and anger..
"Tricks?
You must be a fool to think that i lied to you about being pregnant with your heir.."
Willow hissed, forcing out a laugh..
Ignoring her words, he opened his mouth and started reciting the familiar rejection lines, that have existed, right from ages..
"I soon to be Alpha King, Raiden Quinn..
Rejects you, Willow, as my mate..
I hereby break the bonds binding us as one today.."
There was utter silence, when he finished..
No one dared to interrupt him or protest..
Rather they stared at the red hair lady with malice and disdain..
"If the Alpha king, said that she is not pregnant for him..
Then that is it.."
They all concluded..
A sharp chest pain, brought Willow out of her trance..
It felt like her heart was being torn apart, and a part of her, removed by invincible hands.
Falling on her knees, she stared into space, embracing the pain..
She watched as the blue eyes lady catwalked towards Raiden and kissed him, perplexing the onlookers..
And they started, picking the pieces and puzzles together..
Raiden didn't wait for them to complete the picture, when he placed his arm on Nova waist and proclaim her, his Fiance, mate and Queen of all the werewolves..
Their were cheers and applauds from his pack members..
"Honey what should we do about her?"
Nova asked, Raiden, staring at Willow with anger in her eyes..
"Let's send her away.."
Raiden , utterd with a smirk..
"No, let's kill her..
I want her dead.."
Nova utterd, making Raiden and Willow to froze..
