The Girl Without A Wolf: The Rejected Luna
Chapter 47

Jane’s Pov.

The journey home was rather quiet, as I was engrossed in my disturbing thoughts. Vishal keeps giving my hand warm squeezes, like he is trying to reassure me that everything will be alright.

I forced a smile for him, but my heart was uneasy. He wouldn’t understand. He’s yet to know my father and how much of a scheming devil he was.

I know this call to come home has more to it than just taking over his position. And now, with Vishal next to me, I will have to act nice and pretend to have forgiven Father. But how do I actually be nice to a man who has been monstrous to me? What if he tries another plot of his? What if he tries to harm me again, or Vishal? These thoughts keep churning my insides, leaving me more restless as we draw closer to home.

Soon, we arrived at my pack. Everything was still the same as when I left it years ago. I met Clara on our way to the Betta house. She’s one of the wolves that bully me in the pack.

“Oh, look who’s here,” she mocks. She was in the company of her friends.

I ignore her. This is not what I came here to do. I’m not here to pick a fight with the pack slut.

“Oh, you’ve finally met your type,” Martha enunciate. “You guys fit each other. I’m happy the alpha king rejects your a*s. Who in their right mind accepts a weak girl like you? I guess you met a weak wolf like you for a boyfriend.

I was burning with rage. I want to kill her. I was about to attack her when my mate held me back.

“Why? Why won’t you allow me to teach these bitches some lessons? I mind linked him.

“You don’t need to mind them,” he said. We’re here for something important. Don’t let them provoke you into fighting with them.

“Oh!” I thought you wanted to attack us, “Marina mocked. I could love to teach you some lessons, you weak, stupid girl. You’re our pack’s disgrace. Your mate rescinds you. Your father disowns you. Your pack members reject you as their own.

I ignored them and started walking towards the beta house with Vi. I knock at the door. My mother welcomed us warmly and invited us in.

“Good to see you again, my darling daughter,” my mother said, hugging me.

“How are you, mom? I return her motherly warmth.

It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other. I miss her so much. My mother’s eyes brighten with happiness. She’s so happy, but why is my mother so lean? Is her mate maltreating her?

“Mom, why are you like this? I ask. Why are you so lean?

“Nothing, baby. I’m so happy to finally see you again after a long time.”

My mom keeps staring at Vishal. I know she’s eager to know who’s with me.

“Mom, this is my mate, Vishal,” I stated. “Vishal met my mom.”

“Oh, my god. “The goddess blesses you with a second chance, mate.” “Hail the moon goddess,” she wailed.

“What the hell is going on here? My father inquired. Why are you screaming like that?

“Come here. “Come and meet your daughter’s mate”, my mom let out.

“Whose daughter’s mate?” He question.

“Who are you, young man?

“This is my mate, Vishal,” I introduced him.

“You must be joking, right? He asked. He can’t be your mate.

“And why should I be joking? “This is my mate, Betta,” I said calmly.

I was grinding my teeth together in anger. I don’t want to lose my temper in front of my mate.

Who the hell did he think he was?

“You’ve no sense and good taste in man,” he shrieks. “This young guy here can’t be your mate. I need to talk to you now in private.

“Why are you doing this? My mom intervenes. This is her second chance, which the goddess blesses her with. Stay out of this. I won’t allow you to ruin her life.

“You shut your mouth and stay out of this, mate,” my father barked at her. “I’m lecturing my daughter.” Who are you to intervene?

“Mom, it’s okay,” I said. “Let’s go have some chat, betta. I will be right back, Vishal. I kissed my mate on the lips.

My father and I left them to chat. We walked into his private office.

“You can have your seat,” he enunciates.

I call you here because I want you to be the beta of this pack. Your people need you, and you’re going to reject that little mate of yours.

“What? Do you mean I should reject my mate because I want to be a female betta? What the hell! I will never reject my mate for anyone. I won’t let you or your pack members ruin my happiness. You disown me as your daughter. Your pack members disown me as their own.

“You know I’m a hard man, and you should try to understand me and don’t try to get any apology from me. “And you should be mature enough now to know the difference between personal issues and when it has to do with the safety of your family and people,” he said.

How can he be so shameless?

“The people have been fine without me as their beta, and they’ll be fine always. I don’t have to sacrifice my happiness for them,” I utter. “I won’t sacrifice my happiness for your pack.

“You’re being unreasonable, and it was all the fault of that useless mate of yours. “He has done nothing but twist your mind and change you badly,” he screamed at me. Reject him. I want you to be with the alpha king.

“I will never obey you. “You are nothing to me,” I cried out. I won’t sacrifice my happiness, nor will I reject my mate because of you. You’re not my father. He fixed my life when that bastard broke me. He was there for me when you left me to suffer.

“What are you talking about? This rejection happened a long time ago, when he rejected you. Now the Alpha King wants you back. And you should better cease playing hard to get and go back to the man who is your fated mate. “The both of you have been blessed by the Goddess, and you shouldn’t try to ruin that by choosing a low life over the Alpha King,” he declared, slamming his table. Reject that low life.

“And why should I do that, tell me? I asked. “Who are you to tell me to reject my mate?

“I have the right to tell you to reject him. “I’ve got the right to choose for you because I’m your father,” he said.

I stood up irritated. “I came home because you said you were sick. But clearly, you are healthy enough to even pick fights with me. All you wanted to do was ruin my new life and my happiness. I won’t allow that.

“All I was trying to do was what was best for you and the alpha king, and I will not allow your stupid decisions to ruin them all.”

You won’t be able to run away from the Alpha King anymore. He has already been notified that you’re here.

“What was that supposed to mean?

How did he know that I was here?

It has not been long since I arrived here. How can the king know that I’m here? And just then, I heard the ruckus outside. I immediately rushed out to find out what was going on.

My mate and my mom were already outside, and the Alpha King was in our compound with his bodyguards.

I realized this was all a set up. My father has once again done his evil deeds.

“Long time no see, little mate,” he smirks. Do you miss me?
