The Alpha Lycan's Rejected Mate novel Chapter 3

“No, you are not, you are a result of your mother’s adultery.”

The words from Gerald was enough to make Thea stopped crying for a moment and instead it was their mother, who were crying, she fell on the floor and started sobbing to her palms.

“Mother…?” Thea called their mother and tried to make sense of the whole situation. “Mother, that’s not true, right?”

However, Amber’s cry only got louder, which was enough to answer her question.

“That is why, you hate me so much?” Rhea asked to no one in particular, but then she directed her eyes at her father again, or at the very least, to the man that she thought was her father until a moment ago. “But, I still couldn’t see where is my fault?”

Gerald’s eyes blazed with anger when he heard that. If look could kill, then Rhea would die a miserable dead.

“Is that my fault that mother cheated on you?” Rhea asked, she wiped away her tears, her cheeks stung so bad, but she ignored the pain and looked at her father straight into his eyes. “Am I the one, who told her to cheat? Or told her to hurt you?”

“RHEA, ENOUGH!” Thea snapped. “Stop that!”

However, Rhea didn’t hear that, she growled loudly at her father. “DID I ASK TO BE BORN!?”

Another harsh slap landed on her cheek, but she steadied herself, she staggered a little bit, but she didn’t fall, instead she raised her head and looked at Gerald right in the eyes.

Her voice was laced by pain and sadness. “That’s not my fault.”

And after saying that, she rushed toward her bedroom and slammed the door behind her.

========================

Rhea woke up in the next morning and her cheeks felt so sore, while her heart was so heavy, she looked around and the sky was so bright. She narrowed her eyes and curled her body again into a ball.

What happened yesterday left her drained from energy, she didn’t even have any strength left to get down from her bed and pour a cup of water for her parched throat, she cried and screamed too much last night.

“What a great eighteen birthday…” but now when she thought about it, everything made sense now, why they treated her differently. “Did father know about this since the very beginning?”

But, Rhea still could remember when Gerald dotted on her when she was little.

There were so many questions that roamed around her head, but she couldn’t provide an answer for it.

In the end, she fell asleep again, too exhausted to face the reality and let the darkness blanketed her.

Rhea only woke up when she heard Thea harsh voice, waking her up from her deep slumber.

“Get up now!” Thea hissed viciously at Rhea, as she turned on the light.

Rhea turned her body and she looked at the sky through the window, which had turned dark. She had fallen asleep for a whole night and day and probably would sleep through another night again if it was not for Thea’s interruption.
