The Alpha’s Rejected Daughter by Humble Smith

“What did you just say? I didn’t hear you right. You said what?!” He was roaring already, and each word was bathed in venom and pure rage. His eyes went down to my stomach, then back to my face with deep scrutiny.

“You can’t joke with something like that. Even if you want to pis s me off, you can’t use it. Don’t daret” He bellowed, seemingly accepting that I was only trying to pull his legs. I guess he would find it really hard to believe.

“Do I look like I’m playing pranks with you?” I scoffed and plopped down on the bed. “I am having a headache; leave when you’re done staying

“I am not going anywhere, bit c h! Tell me you are lying. That night didn’t produce anything, and Lucian didn’t impregnate you!” He bawled, and it was like he was finding it hard to breathe.

“You are making a lot of noise. I am hungry, and your noise is the last thing I would want to keep up with. Please leave!” I sighed, ignoring the fire in his eyes. All I could see in those eyeballs was a sheer intent to unalive me at that moment.

“Tam making noise, huh? Is that what you have to say?” He chuckled deeply, licking his l*ps and biting the lower part as his face contorted into a smirk.

“Yes, you are making noise. Maybe your sister isn’t worthy enough for him, which is why she isn’t carrying this baby. Tell her to work on herself. That’s something you should be worried about-not coming here to bark like a dog.

I swear, I can’t tell where this courage came from. I knew I was p i s e d, but the level of bravery to talk back at him, knowing he was a Lycan with full strength, was something I couldn’t comprehend. His deep, menacing growls were not frightening anymore, as I found myself believing there was no way he would dare touch me

“Oh, you think I can’t harm or even kill you? You actually think Lucian cares enough to do anything to me if I hurt you brutally? You really don’t know what you are putting yourself into. His claws were already out, and his fangs were visible, with veins running through his neck and arms.

“Touch me then and see what Lucian will do to you. Remember, you aren’t just hurting me, you are doing the same to his child, the heir to the throne. I laughed, giving him a taunting wink.

“G o d forbid that thing being the heir to the throne. You must be a big dreamer. Lucian can’t be the father of that child, you slu t!” He retorted, obviously frustrated to the core at this point, as he kept clenching his fists till they turned white.

“Wait till I give birth, then. After the test, we will know who has the baby.” I smiled at him, and he burst into laughter, a devilish one, sounding so crooky.

“You are really a dreamer to think you will bore that child safely. It’s better you wake up to reality and ask me for the drug to wash away the baby safely with no side effects or pain, because if I do it myself, you will really suffer.” He threatened, his eyes glinting with everything hatred was all about..

should

You’re threatening me. Fine, let’s do this then. Let’s both see who wins in the end. You and that ugly sister of yours be the ones to stop being delusional and face reality.” I fired back, keeping an unease smile, making sure I left him triggered.

It was clear I was literally endangering my life. This man here looks like a lunat i c who would go any length to hurt or even kill me, especially now that I told him I was pregnant.

“We are now enemies seeking the heads of each. I love your courage; I hope you don’t cower when the real fight begins.” He rasped and stomped out like the ground was his problem.

He slammed the door so hard that I feared the hinges would break off. I had actually succeeded in frustrating the hell out of him, and I was overwhelmed with happiness. It seemed no one made hirti feel this way.

The moment he walked out, it was like my brain came back to default; every bit of my being had a rethink to realize how

much I had to put my weak and useless self in trouble with no one to run to.

What gave me the courage to lash back? I don’t know, but I could swear it felt so good. I felt like a complete being once again.

“Nice one, you are learning to be strong.” I suddenly heard the voice of Lucian, and my eyes darted back at the door in surprise.

“What? You heard everything?” I gasped as he walked into my room with the tray of food in his hands.

“It is late, but you have to eat because you will be facing more troubles in school tomorrow,” he breathed with a shrug. dropping the tray on the table.

“So you heard everything your personal guard said, even when he said he would flush the baby? Why didn’t you come int and shun him? He threatened to”

“I didn’t hear anything. He cut me off, raising his gaze at me with a shunning stare.

“Now I am reporting to you. That guy wants to kill me and the baby. I snapped, and he shrugged again.

“I don’t believe you.” He said it casually, as if he didn’t hear me clearly. We are talking about our baby here. A threat to its life, and all he could say was, I don’t believe you.

Till the baby dies before you believe me? What is wrong with you? If you don’t want me, why did you put me in shackles with this pregnancy? You don’t believe me, like I slept with another man and put the pregnancy on you?!!” I was getting berserk, and I could feel my blood run hot.

Everything was making me go crazy. I just don’t understand where my life is headed. It was just all messed up, reminding me that I shouldn’t have allowed anyone to save me from death. It was as if I was living at the wrong time-at a time when I should be in the world of the dead.

“Are you shouting at me?” His brows arched as he towered over me, his huge body almost like a cave over me.

“Yes! You are joining hands to ruin me when you should be my savior. You keep calling me a liar and manipulator when you are the one. You lied that I was your mate just to sleep with me, then you dumped me and went as far as denying me when that letter was sent. Lucian, I was banished from my own land and my own family because of you!!”

My voice cracked, and my knees were trembling. Tears blurred my vision, intense pain coursing through my heart as everything replayed in my head. I hadn’t thought of it this deeply, and now that I have, I realize how stu p i d I have been all through. I found out how much everyone had played and tram p l e d on me like I was nothing when I was a royal member-a princess at that.

How did I allow myself to become a puppet without even realizing it? My stepmother, my first mate, and my father, now Lucian

I might not have an inner wolf and be weak to compare to you all, but I am not stupi d… I might have been all my life, but not anymore!” I spoke with a broken heart, tears flowing down freely as I struggled to breathe through my pain.

All my words didn’t even change the countenance of Lucian. One would think he had gone deaf, as he just kept staring at me with a straight face while I sobbed through words.

“It is late. Eat your food before you faint in school tomorrow.” That was all he said after I was done, then he turned to the door.

“Do you even love me, Lucian? Tell me. If you don’t, tell me, and I will leave your life forever. I swear! I will go

my baby and won’t come back to pester you, just as you said on the day I came here. I won’t show my face to you anymore, and the baby will never know the father! I bawled, and he was almost at the door, then stopped abruptly.

“Give me a reply, or I will decide myself that you hate me, and this night will be the last time you will see me, I promise

He turned back quickly, and his eyes narrowed at me. “You want to leave this kingdom? To where?”

“It is none of your concern where I go, and yes, I will leave and go far away from this place. I can’t stay close to a psychopath

like you!”

He was silent, bis eyes locked with mine.

“My personal guard told me you used charm on me. He said all the connections I felt that night were fak and were caused by the mate bond a witch created for you with the forbidden magic. He spoke low, and I could swear I sensed the soft emotions for the first time ever. He was sounding casual; he wasn’t sounding gruffy. Instead, his tone was filled with traces of

“And you believe instantly. That was why you left me to perish! You didn’t even ask me or try to be sure. The same wants to kill me and my baby did all these. So he is the devil in my life.” I moaned, squatting down as I sobbed with buried in my palms.

“I was looking for a reason to hate you, and he provided it. Eat your food; it is late.”

“So you still hate me? Thanks for the reply to my initial question. Goodnight, or rather, goodbye.”I said with a smile, then sat on my bed, uncovered the food, and began to eat.

I thought he had walked out after some minutes till I was done eating and looked up to see him still standing there with his hands folded against his chest, gazing at me.

“What?” I asked in surprise.

“Goodbye to where? What does it mean?” He frowned, dipping his hands inside his pocket.

“Like I said before, this night is the last time you will see me. I am sure you are happy. I will be leaving and not choking you with my presence, just as you have always wished.” I shrugged, and he walked forward.

“I won’t stop you from leaving, but won’t you love to watch me punish my personal guard for lying to me?” He breathed, as if he were trying not to sound concerned over me.

“So you believed me that I didn’t use a fake mate charm on you now?” I smiled, and I could swear that as he watched me smile, he almost did the same. Those l*ps widened a bit; they twitched, and his eyes lit up.

“Now go to bed.” He shrugged, looking away as he gathered the plate to take it out.

“Thank you for the food. Thanks for serving me, darling.” I cooed, and he scoffed.

“I didn’t ask for any appreciation. Shut up and sleep.” He hissed and walked out with the plate.
