The rejected luna.

The girl without a wolf.

Chapter 48.

Jane's stance.

Panic rushed through my veins at the sight of the Alpha King and his warriors. His menacing laughter crushed my soul to pieces. The look in his eyes was deadly, and I was scared, not for me, but for my mate.

"What the hell, Mum?! How could you join Father in his dirty games?" I vented at Mum, in a low, hushed tone. Even though he could still pick up every bit of what I said.

Mum's gaze darted to me in confusion. “I don't know what you're talking about–“

"Father told him I was gonna be here. That's why he came. Why would you join Father in his tricks? You know just how much I suffered in his hands,"

"I don't know what's going on, dear. I didn't help your Father do this. It was all him," She replied.

I relaxed a tad bit, diverting my anger at the Alpha King. Vishal was still watching us in sheer confusion, and once again, I wished he wasn't here. I'll give anything to make him not witness this horrible encounter. Somehow, I know this wouldn't end well. Not like it ever ends well with me and the Alpha King, but I fear that with Vishal being here, it's gonna end worse.

"Hello, little mate. It's been a long time since we saw each other," he said with a smirk that stirred up a gloomy rumbling in my stomach. “I never imagined you would come running back straight into my arms, darling,"

"I'll rather die than come running back into your arms," I spat out in disgust.

His face cringed, and I could spot the clenching of his jaw. He was trying to be calm, but it wasn't working. The rage was already taking over him from the inside.

I am scared. He's gonna hurt Vi. What's gonna happen to me if he hurts Vishal? The forceful slamming of my heart against my chest could be heard from a thousand miles. I'm jittery as hell right now. I don't wanna lose my mate. I'm already a rejected werewolf. If I lose my second chance mate, I might die for real now.

"Hey, are you alright?" Vishal closed up the distance between us. I was gonna back away from him. The Alpha King was yet to notice him and I didn't want that to happen.

"I'm fine, Vi. Don't worry about me," I said to him with a faint smile, trying to push him away from me. But he doesn't budge an inch and remains next to me. He grabs my hand and golds them so possessively. He's trying his best to calm me, but I'm far from being calm. I'm more agitated than ever because of his actions.

"What the hell is going on here?" The King roared. I flinched at his voice, jerking my hand away from Vishal's hold. Oh, dear Goddess, my greatest fear is about happening.

"Step away from my mate right now!" The King commands like I was his property. "You have no right to touch my mate!"

Vishal gets irritated by his tone and steps forward, “You have no right to call her that,"
