The Alpha’s Rejected Bride
Chapter 13

We are in our private training area. I needed to let out some steam.

I'm enraged, I'm angry. Punch. Punch. I hit Jasper in the gut and he flies into a wall.

We have been going for a few hours now. I feel frustrated.

I'm upset with her. How can she jump when I begged her not to? A whole prince like me was almost on his knees.

Images of her keep coming to my mind. Her full lips, her nose, and her beautiful face.

"Yo, easy," Jasper says breathlessly. We are panting hard.

"Sorry," I apologize.

I let out an aggravated scream before getting my shirt and hastily putting it on me.

"What's wrong, you've been out of your head these days," my brother, Jasper, is my confidant. He

knows me very well.

I shake my head." Nothing, Rex is just angry," I make up a lie, well, not completely.

"Since when isn't he?" He laughs. I sigh and lie on my back. Facing the high ceiling.

My wolf is strong and very violent. I don't like people knowing that side of me. I try so hard to tame it but lately, it's difficult.

The girl's smell is overwhelming my senses and all I want is to be with her all the time, however, I can't.

I can't accept her as mine, she's too fragile.

I can't tell anyone she's mine either. I wouldn't want her in danger.

"Is it because of lady Lucy?" I twist my neck to my brother. He's eyeing me intensely.

"What does she have to do with me?" I fake innocence.

Jasper raises his brows" because she's yours," he says vehemently. I laugh.

"Mine? No, she's not," I deny.

"Yes, she is. I know you brother. You spend most of the nights in her room,"

I snicker and get up without answering. I walk out.

I find myself in front of Lucy's room.

I can hear voices in there. I want to go in but I'm still angry at her and I wouldn't want anyone to suspect she's my mate.

Especially my father. He won't let me know any rest. The man wants me to find a mate.

I hear voices coming down the hallway and I bolt out of there.

An hour later, I go to the company. I need to keep myself busy, I need to get Lucy out of my head.

I work hard at the office, reviewing everything I need to and signing documents. As the future CEO of

the company, I need to give in my best in all we do.

I check the time, it's already past eight, good.

My secretary, Marble walks in. I roll my eyes as she walks toward me seductively and her big breasts look bigger in the small top she's wearing.

She smiles and stands next to me, showing me the recent project my dad sent over.

"We have to review this account too," she says in a sultry voice.

"I thought Darren and Jasper were dealing with the contraction of the new packhouse,"

"I thought Darren and Jasper were dealing with the contraction of the new packhouse,"

My company deals with a lot of things, so we share a lot of responsibilities.

"Well, the HR has been busy as of late with... personal issues and prince Jasper spends most of his time at the General Hospital,"

I growl lowly, they always let me do most work.

"Darren isn't busy, he's just gallivanting around the pack with his new girlfriend," I murmur. Ever since

he got a new girlfriend, he's been insufferable but no worries, I know he'll get over her in a week or so. He's such a child.

"Inform Darren that he's the one presenting the Conakry idea on Monday and he better wows the

board members or I'll fire him," I order. He gets paid handsomely and lives a luxurious life, he might as well work for it sometimes.

"Yes, sir,"

When that is done, she asks.

"Sir, would you like to go for dinner with me, we've been working for hours and I didn't see you eat at all,"

"I had a bite at the cafeteria,"

She sighs and weirdly contorts her lips.

"it won't take long, there's a new Asian restaurant they put up not far away from here. it's so nice and they serve all kinds of -"

I look up at her as she talks enthusiastically. Marble is sexy and has asked me out numerous times but I don't get involved with my employees and most especially, I only sleep with two women. Delish and Olivia.

"No," I answer. She scowls and nods.

"Well, I will get going now," she smiles awkwardly at me.

"Okay," I gruffly respond.

"Goodnight, my prince,"

I continue to work until I'm tired.

I go straight to the castle, I didn't join my family for dinner instead I opted for fruit.

Going back to my suite, I meet my youngest brother, Enol. I'm sure he's going out. He smiles and walks

to me.

"Hey,"

"Hey, what's up?" I ask.

"I'm going out for an exclusive party, wanna come?" I squint my eyes, why would I want to go to a party full of teenagers?

" No," I ruffle his hair and start to walk but he stops me. What again.

"Have you heard? Lady Lucy woke up," he informs me

"I know, I was there," she woke up but didn't look well at all. The doctors said she might not wake up

anytime soon but looks like we have a strong woman huh?

Enol squints his eyebrows.

"And what do you think about her?" He asks

"Should I think about her? What did father tell you?" Why is my baby brother suddenly asking me what I think about lady Lucy?

"He was saying she would make a fine princess and future Queen," he smiles" And I think so too. Lady

"He was saying she would make a fine princess and future Queen," he smiles " And I think so too. Lady Lucy is very beautiful,"

"I'm sure she would, just not mine and if father says I have to pick her as a bride, I simply refuse," I ground. I knew Dad would start to suggest things like this.

Lucy's father and mine were very close hence, he wants her to be safe and protected.

"That's harsh, you know she almost killed herself in a wedding dress, right?"

I stop dead in my tracks, how can he say that out loud? No one other than Dad, jasper, and Darren knows

Lucy tried to end her life, if she gets better and decides to stay here, I want her to feel comfortable and not get looks of pity or people tiptoeing around her!

"Don't say that," I whisper. Enol nods in understanding.

"And I can find my bride and as you said, she tried to kill herself, I'm sure she's not eager to get back in a

white dress soon," I answer and walk past him

"Okay, bye!" He shouts. I turn when I remember something.

"I was informed that you are getting in a lot of trouble lately,"

My brother gives me a playful grin,

"being good Is boring,"

"And fun is burning down your computer laboratory?" I scold.

"They can't prove me guilty hence there is no case," He defends himself, Enol is such a troublemaker.

I shake my head and proceed to my suite. I open the door and go into the bathroom. I stay there for a long time and my mind is taking me back to Lucy.

She is beautiful indeed. Her hair is curly and her honey brown skin is delicate and flawless. My mate has a very gorgeous face.

Her unique eyes seemed to be in pain earlier, they held no spark

Why is she in so much pain? Could it be that she couldn't handle her father's death? Or maybe

heartbreak. But do people kill themselves for such reasons?

I growl at the thought of someone breaking her heart. I want to kill anyone who hurts her, I want to

shield her but I can't. She's not ours.

'she is my mate, your princess, my wolf Insists.

'No, we are to stay far away from her!' I growl and he growls back with malice.

'Rayan, is it because she's human?' Rex's tone is gentle now.

I laugh, human? That doesn't matter to me! Human or not, I don't care. I just don't want a partner.

They make one vulnerable and I refuse to be weak. I can't afford any kind of sentiment. I can't form an attachment.

I need to fight this bond, no matter what. I won't succumb to it.
