The Alpha’s Rejected Daughter by Humble Smith

Just as I got to the hallway, a sharp voice called my name from behind, and I sighed recognizing it to be the voice of Diana.

“Selene, where do you think you’re going? How dare you walk away even before the wedding starts properly?” She shouted in a commanding tone, as if she were talking to one of her maids,

I kept mute, unable to talk back because it would only make it worse. I want her to stay away from me.

She walked closer, holding up her wedding gown as three maids accompanied her from behind, two bodyguards flanking

her.

She was dressed in a sophisticated wedding gown that graced smoothly down her perfect figure, her wavy brown hair framing her face beautifully with a lot of makeup to adorn her appearance, but the disdain in her eyes as she looked at me made her appear like a witch.

“Can’t I go wherever I want?” I asked under my breath. I wonder what she needs me for.

“No. little girl, you can’t be absent at my wedding. Now, go back into that hall; I have some work for you to do.” She added bluntly, and my eyes narrowed at her.

Does she even know she was talking to me and not one of the maids in the house? How the hell was she going to assign work for me on her wedding ceremony?

“Anyways. I don’t like the bracelet provided for me to wear today. I just saw the one on your wrist. I was told it was given to you by your mother, but I need it because it will match my wedding gown perfectly.” She said with a sardonic tone.

“No, I’m not lending it to anyone, please.” I shook my head immediately, throwing my hands behind my back to hide it.

“You have no choice. I’m not begging you. It’s an order you must obey!” She seethed, gesturing at the guards to go and take it

off me.

“No, no, no!…I… can’t… My words couldn’t be completed as her hand collided with my ch*ek in a hot slap, shooting up pain through my entire face that, at some point, I couldn’t feel my ch*eks anymore.

My legs stumbled back as I held my face in pain, tears blurring my vision.

“I’ll teach you to respect your Luna!” I heard her voice before she did the one thing that shattered my heart.

She ordered the bodyguards to hold me down as she forced the bracelet out of my hand, and in a split second, she stretched. and snapped off the hinge, allowing the pearls to s c at t er all over the floor, destroying my precious gift.

“What have you done?!!” I burst out, my body becoming hot as I stared at the destroyed bracelet. Tears warmed up in my eyes, my heart shattered into a thousand pieces as I watched the bracelet gone.

“You can’t do anything, ba s t a r d!” She spat and snickered. “Follow me to the hall now!”

I ignored her order to follow her, tears falling from my eyes as I sprawled around the floor trying to pick the pearls that had s c t t e r e d to every corner, pain coursed through my veins. What hurts most was that there was nothing I could do to her. I was just pained and berserk with no way to revenge.

Just then, I began to hear her sub. I couldn’t believe my ears till I lifted my head from the floor where I was, only to see my

father in front of me.

Before I think of anything, his heavy kick landed on my stomach, so hard that the pain took away my breath and blood spilled from my m*uth as I crashed on the floor.

I couldn’t believe what was happening the pain from the kick can’t be compared to the excruciating pain that shot through my heart at that moment.

This was the first time in my entire life that my father would hit me, and I just wished it was a dream at that moment.

“How dare you hurt my mate!” He roared, his face contorted in a mask of rage as I flinched in shock, my eyes drifting at Diana only to see her sitting on the floor, crying and holding her ch*ek as if I slapped her.

“She also promised to kill me if I didn’t leave you. I don’t know why your daughter hates me this much. She moaned feigning to be in pain.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“Was I wrong to talk to her and try acting like a mother to her? She even claimed I killed her mother just so I could take her place.” She added, sniffling tears as I flinched in shock on hearing what she just said.

What?

Are my ears playing tricks on me? What kind of lies is this?

“Selene, how dare you!!” My father growled, his eyes glazing at me. “I’m highly disgusted in you. How could you say such to her? After this wedding. I’ll surely punish you!!” He snarled without caring to know if Diana was lying or not.

He then turned to her, helping her up while she glanced back at me across his shoulder, with a smug on her face.

I couldn’t just bear the pain anymore. Standing there and watching my father only broke my heart more. My hatred for Diana grew so deep that I wished her the most gruesome death.

With a broken heart, I ran away, my vision blurred with tears.

It was like a nightmare-a scary one that left my entire body shivering with goosebumps spreading through my skin,

E

All I wanted was to get out of this place, to go far away and cry out my sorrow, and maybe wake up to this terrible dream.

The smug smile on Diana’s face, the furious look on my own father’s eyes as he glared at me, and the pain throbbing my stomach as a reminder that my father just hit me hard for no reason, believing every lie Diana told and not caring to know if it was true or not even after seeing his first Luna’s bracelet destroyed on the floor

All these brimmed my head, forcing whimpers from my l*ps as my heart felt like it was stabbed countless times. I felt like an orphan at that moment, knowing my life would never remain the same again.

There was only one place I could go and feel safe a bit and that was my mother’s grave so I headed to the backyard where she was buried.
