Chapter 003

Myra’s POV

I couldn’t help my mind from wondering about Logan’s state at the moment. The rejection affected him, I knew it because I caught the glimpse.

The hurt flashing through his eyes as he held his heart. There was only one explanation as to why he was affected, he harbors affection that differs greatly from hatred for me.

He doesn’t want me witnessing more was why he sent me away.

I made my way back to the hall, hiding away from the beta’s wife or one of the maids and just sitting by a corner watching everything unfolds.

I heard voices from behind me, springing up the corner I sat and diving into the room beside me.

“Yes, I heard he honored his invitation and would be coming.” A familiar voice, certainly belonging to a maid mouthed the gossip audibly I could hear from where I hid my presence away.

“I wonder what he looks like. I can’t believe it, we’re going to meet The Alpha King for the first time tonight. Are you not as excited as I am?” The other party engaged in the conversation with her responded, glee painted her words all over.

Oh wow, the Alpha King is invited. That’s interesting.

I scoffed from where I stood, two sides about the information. There are a lot of flying rumors about the Alpha King.

The bad ones were more known and viral than the good ones. He was rumored to be a beast, an inhumane creature who enjoys feeding on pain, a sadistic man with no sense of happiness.

He was rumored ruthless, bad, heartless, and a cold hearted man who annihilated a full pack because they wouldn’t bow to him.

The good ones were really good, people said he was blessed with a face sculpted by the gods themselves, body molded and structured in the most perfect shape and way. Basically, the good rumors surrounded his good looks.

I’m not into looks. Logan is the perfect example of that, I don’t know where his beauty stands in comparison with the Alpha King, but he was still a mouth watering sight to behold.

Just that I wasn’t fazed.

This had me not in the league of those fanning over the Alpha King alleged stunning beauty.

The girls are surely gone, they were best friends and of course my enemies.

They also hated me, they work in cohort with the beta’s daughter to give me one of the hardest times.

I remember the night I was locked in a toilet because I spouted a comeback that made them rethink their life, their punishment was locking me in a toilet to spend the night.

Pathetic little bitches.

I opened the door, letting myself out of the room and taking back seat at the corner on the floor.

‘Logan is in pain.’ My wolf’s voice rang into my head, bringing my attention to the obvious.

“He rejected us, why should we care?” I responded.

“And what are you doing here?” The familiar voice of the Luna asked. I can tell she’s already fuming.

A hand latched on my hair as I was dragged out of the corner and pushed out to fall on the floor.

My elbow graced the floor and knees knocked the ground, the unpleasant sensation running through my body in a quick pace.

I groaned, rising on my feet and taking back my stand in front of her with my head bowed. “Nothing, Luna. I did went to the hall per your instructions, but I was sent to go clean up Alpha Logan’s room and he asked me to come back later because he was dressing up. I left his room not too long ago.” I briefed her a little explanation, keeping my voice soft and polite.

“And so the few minutes you had for free you wanted to spend it resting right?” She queried, literally picking an offense with me simply breathing. How problematic can a hater get? She’s an answer.

“There was nothing to do, Mrs Smith made it clear I wasn’t needed at the-“

The crisp sound of a slap had my statement halt as my jaw twitched with pain, my palm pull up instantly rubbing against the surface that felt hot and heated.

My mouth remain opened, eyes finding hers and witnessing the cold hatred flaming out her eyes.

“If there is nothing for you to do find something, I don’t want you sitting around this pack jobless and foolish. The next time I find you anywhere sitting idly by and doing nothing, you’ll get more than a slap and literally regret the day you walked into pack for safety and not into the stupid stomachs of those hunting you for dinner. Ungrateful brat!” Her words sliced through my skin, cutting deeper and sharper than a knife as she hissed at me, walking out of my sight.

Tears gathered beneath my eyes, threatening to spill but I just wouldn’t let it.

I promise myself that I won’t let them break me and they won’t. Her slap doesn’t hurt, none of their treatment hurts, but I couldn’t help myself from hurting at the impact of her words.

I sniffed, dragging my feet into motion and walking my way back to the hall.

Mrs Smith, the beta’s wife was quick to catch my presence. “What are you doing here? Are you not suppose to be with the Alpha?” Her brows drew up in a questioning line, mouth remaining parted as she anticipated my response.

“He asked me to come back later. So I’m back here Incase there is anything else I can help with.” I said to her, hiding away my distress and keeping it hidden within myself.

“Well, you can help with the servings. Go on into the hall, check out which table we’re yet to serve, note down the numbers and report back to me.” She laid another instruction, returning her attention back to whatever she was doing.

I went away from her, going straight into the hall to see the event has officially began.

As I stepped into the hall, Logan also walked in from the entrance up at the stage. Now fully dressed in his ancient clothes attire, his creamy vest with straps.

He fully bodied the medieval dressing, and I have no idea what got into me to began staring at him, taking notice of his beauty and slowly becoming enticed.

His eyes roamed around the hall, a bit absurd that they locate mine instantly and he kept our gazes locked.

Through the contact, psychic messages were sent. I could feel his message, his eyes held regret and that he passed to me.

‘Logan was in love with us. He didn’t mean his rejection.’ My wolf said to me, and that clears everything up.

I broke the contact, looking away from him as I toured into the hall to carry out the bitter head maid’s orders.

“Was that why he felt pain during the rejection?” I conversed with my wolf, peeping around looking for empty tables occupied with guests but yet to be served.

‘Yes, I also felt it because his wolf and I made a little connection. He allowed his wolf reach out to me, to us. He loves us.’

“Marla he rejected us, I don’t think he do. And we’re already over, there’s nothing I or we can do about it again, we just have to-“

My senses rang up as the scent drifted past the atmosphere, my nose itched and the beautiful smell became more radiant.

“Can you also smell that?” I asked my wolf, making sure I’m not going crazy while my nose sniffed on the vanilla mixed with rose scent.

‘Yes I can, we have a second chance mate. We have a second chance mate!’

It was blissful, and I wanted more of it. Marla was right, and this time Moon Goddess better do me right by pairing me with someone better.

My eyes trailed the scent to the entrance, jaw dropping as the mysterious man walked in, huge in frame and the definition of a demigod.

His aura exudes darkness as he walks in my direction, everybody in the hall went silent with their head falling low to bow at his presence.

My gaze widened, realizing who was approaching me and who the moon goddess picked to be my second chance mate.

The Alpha King.

“Mine,” he got to me, a stiffened voice casting out the word while a hinged smirk touched his lip.

Yes I’m not into looks, but I wanted to faint in his arms and drown in his beauty.
