The Alpha Rejected Mate

Amelia' POV

I happily walked into my room staring at the ballroom gown in front of my dressing table, admiring it.

Tomorrow, my long-time crush will be crowned the alpha after a lot of challenges. Of course, I'm expecting him to propose to me, or I'll confess my feelings for him.

Even though I'm scared of getting rejected as he's yet to meet his fated mate and I'm yet to meet mine, I pray every time to the moon goddesses to make us mates.

As I stared, I heard my name from behind; it was Lillian , my female friend, coming into my room.

"Are you that excited about Richard being the alpha?" She asked as soon as she came inside which made me frown.

I'm Amelia , an orphan in the Sun pack and one of the strongest wolves. Even though my ranking is way too low, I get respected a lot.

In the Sun pack, I am known for always being around Richard , and everyone knows I have a crush on him, but he does not seem to notice.

He was my childhood best friend, and when I was 10, he protected me from being bullied because I was an orphan. I have had a soft spot for him ever since.

Without a doubt, I love him and am willing to go to any length for him. He is the current Alpha's son, but he is stepping down and will be announced as the new alpha.

Even though his father was sad about his stepbrother, Nicholas, who had been kicked out of the pack a few weeks ago.

"He deserves to be the alpha. Everyone knows that he has the aura of an alpha and has proven himself sufficiently." I snapped back at her.

She rolled her eyes as she sat on my bed, "I wish he could look at you like you looked at him." I frowned angrily and chased her out the moment she said that.

I do not want anyone to ruin my mood until tomorrow because I was hoping to be in the best mood when I proposed to him.

I sighed as I sat on my bed. "Moon goddess." Before dozing off.

As I stood up, I let out a yawn and stretched my arms into the air. It was still early in the morning because I just wanted to go as early as I could so I could see Richard before he'll be called on stage.

I dressed up and looked at myself in the mirror adjusting my makeover before standing up to leave outside.

I spotted the car outside waiting for me which made me smile, he got me the ride to get to the main hall.

I got in and we started the ride. Getting there, he parked and came out to open the door for me, "Thanks." I muttered before stepping out going into the hall.

Immediately I entered, I saw Lillian beside Richard talking to him, making me frown. Just yesterday, she was talking about him like he was the biggest jerk of all time and now she's acting all flirty around him.

I walked closer to them, seeing me, she frowned and quickly covered it up with a smile before coming to me, "Guess what Richard just told me?" She asked, linking her arms together with mine.

I stylishly removed it and forced a smile. "You know I don't like guessing because I'm not good at that." Just as she was about to talk, Richard excused her by pulling me along in another way.

"Why are you listening to her? You know how she acts too flirty everywhere." I could tell he was scared but why should he be scared of whatever she's about to say.

"Are you hiding anything from me?" I asked him, he smiled gently which melted my heart. His cute calm face and his non challenging expression, the way he's always able to make me weak in the knees is something I can never ignore.

He moved closer to me which was getting me nervous seeing him so close, I thought he wanted to kiss me so I closed my eyes but I heard him laugh softly.
