The Alpha’s Rejected Daughter by Humble Smith

I didn’t know how much I had missed his voice until I heard him call my name, and those eyes that were fierce when I came in here became soft and filled with emotions. He stood abruptly and walked towards me, but at a slow pace, like he was trying to see if I would back away from him.

His eyes became wet immediately as they scrutinized me from head to toe. I was looking so bad and unkempt with the blood stain, and I guess he also thought I was wounded.

“Selene, he called my name again as he made to hold my hand. I was mute and silent because I was badly missing him and

I craving his touch when I should be angry at him like every normal being. He really hurt me and left me to die.

I really don’t know why all that didn’t change my feelings towards him. He seemed scared to touch me, thinking I would have hated him and wouldn’t want anything to do with him. His eyes say it all-that he badly missed me, so I don’t need to doubt it

As soon as his hand touched mine, goosebumps spread through my skin, and just like a fresh breath of life, I felt warm and safe. My beast, which was mad, untamed, and wild, became totally calm, submitting to his touch.

“I am so sorry… L

“What did you come here for in the first place?” I asked, cutting him off whatever apology he wanted to deliver.

“1 came to take you from him. I am sorry, I am doing this the hard way, and you might not want to have anything to do with me. I am really sorry because of how s tu p id it was, but I couldn’t bear it anymore. Each day without you was hell. I threatened him that I would start a war against this kingdom if he didn’t offer you to me peacefully. He confessed like a baby, trying to seek permission.

“You don’t look good here. Are those your blood? Who hurt you?” He asked with care, exuding his voice, and that was when 1 shified my eyes to Liam, who quickly diverted his eyes out of guilt. I guess he doesn’t know what happened to his men and was just feeling guilty about what he ordered them to do. He might even think I had been injected already.

But the confusion twisted in his face was the blood stain on me. He definitely can’t find a way to explain that, especially as he was so sure there was no way I would be able to stop them from carrying out what they want to do to me.

“You are right. I don’t look good here, and I’m very happy you are here. Please take me away from this monster that wants to kill me and put the blame on you so the world will see you are an evil monster. What hurts me is that he is using my life to gamble.” I hissed, and Liam shuddered so hard in shock, his gaze darting at me as his widened eyes stuck at my face.

I smirked at him as he stared, speechless. Lucian held me in the hand and turned over to Liam. In fact, everybody was looking at him now, including his parents

“I thought you said you would rather die than harm her.” Lucian growled. “You made it clear to me that she is the woman. you love and wish to marry, but you are only offering it to me because we are mates and you don’t want war. What is this hearing? You attempted to kill her. Is that the explanation for the blood on her cloth?” His voice was really c o a r e and gruff, and his eyes were red in rage.

“She is lying. I don’t know what she is talking about. She was hurt by someone no one here knew. I promised her I would find him. The man hurt her because of my fiance. He.

“Cut the story short. Explain what you know about this poison.” I cut in, bringing out the ampoule and syringe from my pockets.

“What is that? I have never seen it before.” He managed to say it, his lips shaking and his eyes narrating as more confusion hit at him with a hint of what might have happened, but I am sure he would still find it so hard to believe.

“My son, you took that from the private store? To harm Selene, how could you? She was going to die, you know that? Even if you succeed in painting Lucian ay/the devil that took her away and killed her, it won’t later bring her life back. She will be dead and gone! Is that what you call love?” His father spoke out

You just announced that you would do everything to make her yours. You told us. You convinced us that she was the one,

then this is what you ended up doing?” His mother added that he was breathing heavily.

“How does everyone believe this liar? She is doing all this to hurt me because I wanted her. Selene, was it a crime that I spared your life in the woods, brought you here, fed you, clothed you, and gave you everything? My crime was falling in love with you, and now you want to repay me with this? You are pulling these allegations on me, knowing there are people who.

have been after your life.”

He paused and wiped the crocodile’s tears.

“Her life had always been in danger, ever since I publicly showed her love. One of them must have arranged all these, and worse, he would have made it seem like I was the one. I really don’t know why she is accusing me of this. I am innocent.” He spoke with the highest innocence anyone would ever hear.

If I didn’t clearly hear him order those doctors, I swear I will never believe he did it. Everyone’s eyes went away from him and back to me, and I was sure they had been moved to believe him while looking up at me like someone with an interior

motive..

“I know you hate him, but there is no need to accuse him. I don’t think he can do such to you.” Lucian spoke gently to me, and I chuckled dryly.

“The blood stain on me is that of the doctor he assigned to inject this into my veins. I was able to hear all his conversations with them with my newfound powers. The new power was also what helped me kill the doctors because they actually planned to force it on me and were ready to kill me with their wolf, but unlucky for them, I have made my first shift, and my wolf is deadlier. I laughed heartily, recalling how it had all happened.

“So you mean you aren’t wolfless anymore, and when I take you to my kingdom, we will be able to smell each other’s scent?!” Lucian said loudly in excitement, and I nodded. “I am also not a weak girl anymore. I can now protect myself from wicked people, especially Liam.”

“Stop accusing me. girl!” Liam, who was now angry, shouted at me, standing on his feet in his tall, towering figure. He was obviously trying to intimidate me with his aura and strength, but I wasn’t moved-not because of Lucian, but because I knew he was no match for me, and even here and now, I was not going to leave till I punished him.

Like I said before, I won’t look at him because he saved my life.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

“Go to the ward I was at, and you will see your doctors all dead with their bodies cut from limb to limb. I am here to hear your explanation of why you wanted to kill me. You have to tell me why, or I will force you to.” I saw myself leaving Lucian, whom I was holding, and walking closer to him.

claim “I told you I did nothing. No one believes that sh i t you said about hearing with whatever kind of nonsense powers you to have. You ungrateful being can leave this kingdom with him so we have our peace. Go. I don’t want to see you again.” He said in a way that I would feel bad. It was like he was trying to gaslight me.

“You know I am not lying, lover boy. Can you swear to your life that you didn’t give the order? You have the ancient book of death. We can both swear to it. Since you are so sure you didn’t give any orders, I am the one accusing you. It’s time to prove your innocence. I came here to punish you for the crime, but you are boldly denying it.” I laughed mockingly.

“What? Punish me? Are you mad or what? Lucian, I know you’re the reason for all her courage and boldness to say all this trash to me, and I am only holding myself up because of you. Warn her to shut up and leave, and stop provoking me!” He said it threateningly.

“Maybe you should try attacking her or have a fight-to-death match. Something like a death match in which both of you fight till one of you gets killed by the other.” Lucian replied to him with so much confidence in his voice that it made me smile wide as 1 glanced at him.

It seemed he already believed everything I said and knew I had become powerful even when he hadn’t seen me fight.

The calmness we both had left 1 iam trembling like a kid. His parents were quick to go down their knees to beg for the match not to hold.

They knew whatever gave me the courage not to panic over what Lucian suggested really meant Liam stood no chance.
