Rejected By My Mate, Chosen By Fate
Chapter 46

Special Chapter: Margallo’s POV

“You all think I’m the guilty one and he’s innocent right? He’s not as perfect as you all think he is, he’s been hiding the truth from everyone. You all really want to know what he did to me? You all want to know why I tried to kill him? Well then, I’ll tell you. He hurt me very deeply. He broke my heart and stole everything away from me and then he left me…………….” I screamed, my words leaving probably everyone else except Richard in absolute shock and confusion.

Kayden wasted no time in attacking me with words. “What are you talking about? Are you drunk or something? Or have you gone mad? How dare you accuse my brother of such nonsense?” Kayden questioned, not even trying to hide his anger. Well, I don’t care. I won’t keep quiet today, everyone has to find out the great injustice that has been done to me by Richard. Everyone has to find out how terrible he is and they should also find out why I have every right to kill him.

“It hurts doesn’t it?” I asked with a taut smile. “It hurts when your brother is accused of something, you didn’t think about how I would feel about being accused and despite the fact that I’m guilty, which I’ve confessed to, I have the right to be allowed to speak the truth. The fact that you’re about to find out that your brother isn’t nearly as perfect as you think he is just kills you, doesn’t it? The fact that you’re about to find out that you don’t know your brother as well as you think you do hurts you very deeply. Well dear MATE, you’re just going to have to bear the pain because I’m going to tell you a little something about your brother’s past that he’s kept hidden for a long time.” I said and paused, waiting for opposition but when none came, I continued.

“By the time I’m done, you’ll realize that I was the one who was wronged.” I began again but Kayden interrupted me once again.

“Just shut up Margallo. We’re not in the mood for any of your lies. You’re a devious and malicious woman so do you really think we’ll believe anything you have to say?” Kayden questioned and if not for how hurt I felt, I would have rolled my eyes. My dear sweet mate, really is blind, isn’t he? His blind faith in his brother is making him oblivious to the truth.

“Let her speak, she has the right to speak. I want to know what she has to say against my mate.” We all heard a voice and turned towards the direction from which it came from. We were all soon looking at Luna Elsie and a smile immediately registered on my face, this is going to be fun.

“Elsie.” Richard called protectively as she walked into the dungeon, a staunch look of determination on her face. From her movements, I could tell she seemed tense and at the same time eager to know just what it was I had against her husband.

“No. I only want to hear from her.” Elsie said, stopping Richard from saying anything else.

“Margallo please go on, tell us all what Richard could have done to you that would warrant such evil from you.” Elsie said, the tears in her eyes and the hurt in her voice unmistakable.

I almost felt sorry for her, having to find out the stunts your mate had performed in the past from someone else. But I mostly felt sorry for myself, though it’s not in my nature to show pity or weakness, believe it or not, I get hurt too and I also feel pain. What Richard did to me has left me scarred for life.

I cleared my throat and began my story. “It all happened three years ago, when I was 14 and naive. Alpha Richard always came to our pack and I’d known him most of my life. He usually came with his father but he began coming alone when he became Alpha at the age of 18. He’s very handsome and so I naturally had a crush on him.

He was the very first guy that I ever had feelings for and though I really wanted to, I couldn’t tell him. It was so awkward to the point that I couldn’t even have a normal conversation with him without babbling nonsense so I only looked at him from a distance.

He somehow found out about my crush and I thought that he would never want to see or speak to me ever again but he actually took me by surprise when he confessed that he liked me as well and so we started dating secretly. I didn’t get to see him a lot so I took advantage of every opportunity.

I always prayed that we would turn out to be mates because I was deeply in love with him and whenever I expressed the fear of losing him, he’d assure me that we would be mates and he even promised me that in the event that we weren’t actually mates, he would reject his mate and only take me as his chosen mate.

I believed it with all my heart because I was so foolish and gullible then. I gave him the right my mate was only supposed to have and let him deflower me on my 16th birthday.

Our relationship and my love for him only grew stronger after that. I’ll never forget the day that turned out to be the worst day of my life. It was the day of the Spring festival and Richard had invited my father to celebrate with his pack.

I was excited to spend the spring festival with him because I had good news to share with him so I convinced my father to go despite the fact that we were supposed to celebrate it in our pack as well.

During the spring festival, in the midst of all the joy and happiness, Richard found his mate. It all happened in front of me.

I expected him to keep his promise and reject her but he didn’t, he accepted Elsie the minute he set eyes on her and claimed her as his mate right in front of me.

I couldn’t take it, I was so heartbroken that I almost committed suicide but I didn’t because of one thing…………” I began narrating and paused, my tears choking me.

The reason why I’ve always acted so mean and spiteful is because I hate displaying emotions, they make me feel weak but destiny isn’t a nice thing, is it? I’d made up my mind to bury the past but here I am retelling the most painful event of my life and it actually feels like I’m reliving it.

It’s funny though, people say wounds heal with time but time has only made mine worse and the pain, the pain is almost unbearable.

I tried to catch my breath and wiped the tears away. I cleared my throat so I could finish telling them everything.

“I had really believed we would be mates because Richard didn’t find his mate at the age of 18. He was already 19 and I was 16 when he found his mate during the spring festival.

As I said earlier, I felt so hurt and betrayed that I was ready to give up on life by taking my own life but only one thing stopped me from drinking the poison that day, our child.” I said and paused, trying to get a grip on myself. I can’t seem to control my emotions at this moment no matter how hard I try.

“What?!” My father, Kayden and Elsie chorused. Only Richard remained quiet because he knew I was telling the truth. He only remained face down, unable to even look me in the eye because he knew he had wronged me so terribly.
