REJECTED.

“No.” I muttered in disbelief.

The crowd cheered and clapped, I felt my stomach churning and it was too sudden and quick, I threw up.

“Eww.” Someone beside me said.

I stood up and started running away in shame.

The night was cold and I didn’t have any soul left in me, it can’t be possible, they couldn’t get engaged after one week of meeting, I went back to my parents house.

One step inside and my sister Tiffany started laughing.

“She’s back.” My sister announced.

They must have heard what happened from my aunt.

“What a disgrace.” My father said to me, I really thought that I could prove to him that I was capable of making him proud, but now shame befell upon me, as I was discarded by Conri.

I climbed the staircase to my bedroom, when I shut the door, I sat and rested my back against it and cried.

I found the strength to take a shower and I slept.

***

I woke up with a headache and nausea, I could not lift any of my limbs. I thought that maybe I had hurt myself from all the hard labour I had been enduring for a week.

I drove myself to the hospital and the test result was different than I expected, I stared at it in joy and bewilderment.

My joy knew no bounds as I stared at the pregnancy result in my hand, it was positive, I was pregnant.

I could not wait to go home and share the good news with Conri, maybe after I inform him that I was carrying his own baby, he would come back to his senses and send Juliette away, he would top it all by putting a ring on my finger and I would officially be a member of his pack.

I would be the most fulfilled person in the entire world. I could barely believe this.

I drove into the garage, I could smell Conri and my wolf could barely hold herself back. I parked carelessly and ran to the living room, he was at my house, after I left he must have come to his senses and come to look for me.

“Conri.” I said In happiness as I jumped on Conri’s laps, he did not hug me back. His whole aura was cold and frightening….

I looked at his face and I slowly stood up from his laps, I remembered how he had pushed me away some few days ago because I hugged him.

If he was not here to apologize to me, then why was he here?.

“What’s wrong?.” I asked looking around, my eyes fell on Juliette that was staring at me with disgust and hate

I looked down to see that she was holding hands with Conri, he was gripping her hand tightly. I saw their engagement ring, it was still in their fingers.

“Darlene, sit we have something to discuss.” He said icicy.

I felt my heart stop and then it started again.

“Conri remember that I’m your mate.” I told him trying to touch his shoulder but his frown sent me away.

“Conri?…” I asked in disbelief, is he really just going to push me away?

” You’re not going to be my mate for long.” He informed me

“No, I need to wake up from the nightmare. It can’t be… No!.” I cried, my world was crumbling before my very eyes.

I turned to my father.

“You’re a such a shame, I can’t believe I produced such a useless daughter.” He told me.

“What did I do wrong, please tell me.” I pleaded going in front of Conri and I fell on my knees.

This nightmare was staring to seem like a reality.

“Do it, Conri, end it and free yourself from this pathetic piece of trash.” Juliette said.

“I Alpha Conri McShawn…” He started saying, I never knew this day would come.

Tears slipped past my eyes as I touched my belly with my hands, the first thought I had was to end myself for good, but, life was growing within me.

“I reject you Darlene McGuire as my mate.”

“Accept his rejection!.” Juliette ordered me urgently, I placed my oms together.

“Please, Conri, please I’m begging you, don’t do this to me.” My heart was eating itself up.

” Accept my rejection!.” He yelled pulling my hair.

I cried.

“I Darlene McGuire, accept your rejection.” I said and he released me and pushed me to the ground.

My head hit the hardwood floor and I felt my skin tear at the temple..

“Pick your bags and leave.” My father demanded harshly.

” I had already packed it for you.” My sister who was a strong Luna said with a laugh . ” You’re so worthless, here I was thinking that maybe you we would try to manage you. Leave and never show your face again.” She warned with a glare.

” The rules are very easy to follow, if you return, it would be ruled out as trespassing and any member of our pack have every right to kill you.” My mother said. ” Such a disgrace.” She spat.

“She has ruined the image of this family, you’ve already been banished now leave this territory!.” My father screamed walking towards me with his hands raised, ready to strike me.

I tripped on my luggage as I tried to run away from his hit, I fell.

I heard laughter behind me, I got up on my knees and cleaned my tears with the back of my palm.

I picked up my luggage and threw one more glance at Conri, he looked disgusted by me as if I had a fatal contaminated disease.

“Don’t try to join any other packs, they won’t accept you, we’ve warned them about you.”

I was made a rogue, in the twinkle of an eye, my life was changed.

I walked to the car as slowly as I could waiting for someone to call me back and tell me it’s a prank, I was waiting in my car till I heard the warning howls of the Alphas, they could smell me and since I was a terrorist they would take much pleasure in clawing me apart.

I was weak and defenseless, I drove off placing my hand on my belly.

“Hang on little one, it’s only me and you now.” I whispered.
