Chapter 8 Rejected And Broken

• Julia POV
• I blinked repeatedly trying to adapt my eyes to the ray of light coming out from the window.
• Wait a window?
• There is no window in the prison in which I was locked up. At the realization of this, the sleep that was in my eyes disappeared quickly as I took a proper look at my surroundings. I am in a moving car.
• No!
• I struggled to move my limbs, but I felt so weak and uncoordinated. The effect of the wolfsbane that Arthur had injected me with was taking a toll on my body. I could feel the poison coursing through my veins, making me ache in every joint and muscle. But something strange was happening… my recovery was progressing much faster than expected, unlike a typical wolf who had been poisoned.
• I needed to take a proper observation of where I was being taken to, so I looked through the window for a better view and I could see another car moving behind us. Inside the car, I saw Maya with Alpha Wolfe. Finally, her plans to be his Luna have come through but let's see how long it lasts.
• I took a better view of the moving car. Wolfe was holding her hand and I felt my heart react in a strange way that made me feel some painful emotions like I had been stabbed in my heart. These feelings I can't describe but it's very heartbroken and for the first time in my life, I feel rejected.
• It hurt seeing my mate holding hands with someone else. Someone who betrayed me.
• It hurts being rejected by your family in the darkest part of your life when you need them the most.
• It hurt being mocked and rejected by your pack members and it f*cking hurt being rejected by someone you so love much and trust.
• My brow furrowed in surprise and my fist clenched into a tight ball when I saw Maya closely. She was wearing my clothes. I so much hate her confidence and deceitful character.
• Why would she put on my clothes?
• I remained in that position staring at them and lost in my own thoughts until Alpha Wolfe's eyes turned in my direction. I could see his face clearly, it had no emotion in it. You can never tell the kind of person he Is by just looking at him. He is so good at hiding his emotions. I and Wolfe's eyes remained fixed on each other's own for a second until a vogue voice interrupted me in my head "Mate" came the voice I never expected to live within me that was the same voice I heard the first time I saw him.
• "Who are you, are you my wolf?" I questioned anxiously but then the voice disappeared and I couldn't reach it anymore.
• What the hell is wrong with me? Why didn't I have a wolf like everyone? The more reason why they all hated me, the more reason that bastard, Arthur, I thought truly loved me used me for his selfish gain.
• A silent cry escaped my throat but I was quick to cover my mouth with my hand. This is not the time to be saddened. I need to stay strong now.
• I turned around again to take a proper look at Alpha Wolfe, I could feel it. The heat and desire my body craved for, this, I have never felt for any man before. I could perceive his scent and tell that he was my mate. He's my second half. I needed to tell him and let him know I was the true mate here, not Maya.
• After driving for a couple of hours we finally arrived at Black Moon Pack, a big castle with some scribes of wolves and paintings on the building. This place is far bigger than our pack and it is indeed more developed than our pack.
• The door to his car door opened, distracting my view of the beautiful castle before me. Maybe some other time I will take a better observation but not now. Immediately he came down from the car, I quickly rushed to meet with the Alpha. I need to let him know that we are mates.
• "I am your true mate, why are you rejecting the mate bond?" I rushed to him, my voice vibrating in rage, seeing the way he was treating my sister like his true mate.
• "No, you are not my mate! She's my mate.” Wolfe declared in that simple but strict voice, and to my greatest surprise, he pulled Maya closer to his body, showing me that he chose her over me.
• My jaw dropped in shock. My eyes went wide open beholding the sight before me. My hands tighten in a fist beside me as I try to calm myself down. This is too much for me and it makes me feel heartbroken. No, I can't contain myself and within a second I erupted like a volcano walking closer to him, my eyes fixed on my deceitful sister.
• I am not going to give up like this to her.
• "You have to believe me, she is lying. I am the true mate here!" I yelled, staring into his green golden eyes hoping that he would believe me. Can't he feel the attraction between us? Or is he trying to push it away?
• "Get lost you desperate bitch!" Maya spits out, pushing me away.
• I became so angry that I couldn't control myself anymore so I rushed towards her like an angry lion attempting to slap that lies off her mouth only for Wolfe to hold me tight then he clasped my hands together as he hovered his mouth on my face and our bodies an inch away from each other.
• Silence! Total silence descended on us as we stared at each other's faces for some seconds. It looked like he was carried away by my scent since my body was so close to him. For some seconds I could see that want and desire in his eyes.
• Maya made a crackly sound with her voice bringing Wolfe back to his senses as he staggered back a little away from me. Suddenly the emotions in his eyes are now replaced with hatred and disgust for me.
• "Guards, take her away to her room." Alpha Wolfe ordered and immediately two men came out in an attempt to carry me to my room but I struggled with them to free me. I need to talk to Maya. I have lots of questions to ask her. Even if she can fool everyone she can't fool me or herself we both know the truth.
• "Get a grip of yourself, Julia, are you planning to steal the position of Luna with the identity of a stealer?" Maya marched forward to me and spoke the most shocking words I never expected to hear from her.
• I have never fantasized about being a luna. It has always been her desire to be Luna. I am only trying to let him know that we are mates. I am only trying to get the other half of me but now she's making me look like the bad person here.
• "Hey, Julia." Wolfe walks closer to me and uses his hand to raise my chin to face him while I remain still under the hold of the two-guard.
• "You have to know your place here in this pack, you will become my brother's mate and Maya here is my true mate." He said to my face. Well, Maya is good at playing her games. She even wore my clothes so she could have my scent.
• "Take her away." He ordered for the last time and I was taken away to my so-called room.
• The guards push me inside the room which was designed for me. I look around me and I find comfort in the room. This room is better than the shabby room I have in my pack.
• I looked around the room, taking in the details. There was a queen-sized bed, covered in white sheets and comforters, in the corner. The walls were painted a soft blue, and a large mirror stood in the corner, beside a small vanity table with various makeup items on it. Everything in the room was neat and orderly.
• Horizontally to the bed was a wardrobe. Gently I dragged my legs towards it and my eyes dropped in amusement when I saw many clothes neatly arranged inside it. I pushed my hand to a corner and I brought out a beautiful evening casual gown and it was exactly my size.
• "Where is the bathroom," I said to myself as I pushed a small door open which led to the bathroom. I needed to wash myself up. I have been through a lot lately.
• I scrub and wash myself cleaning the bloodstain left on my injured body due to the wolfsbane injected into me. A few minutes later I was done bathing and I felt relieved and afresh again.
• All these whole arrangements felt so strange and funny to me. How can my true mate offer me to be mated with his brother and him being mated to my sister? This is ridiculous. I believe that Maya must have said something to him. Moreover, all this wouldn't have happened if not for that greedy Arthur that I trusted and the horrible family I had.
• "No, I can't be here." I shake my head slowly. I needed to escape, I needed to run. I can't be mated to someone who doesn’t want me just because I am a stealer.
