"But...."

I wasn't given a chance to refute as I was dragged towards the grand hall.

And when we walked in, everyone's attention snapped towards us. People stood up, including all alphas of different packs as they bowed in absolute respect and submissiveness.

Including my very own father.

"Wait, Did they just walk in together?"

"As I can remember, Alpha Terror never spared that treacherous woman in a glance, what's going on now?"

"Don't tell me that ugly orc dared to anger the king!!"

People couldn't help but whisper amongst each other, but I could tell that they were greatly displeased with the fact that I was standing right next to Alpha terror.

Though there was also curiosity in the eyes of the people, no one thought that I voice be Alpha terror fated mate. In their eyes, it was very impossible for such to occur.

Alpha Terror cleared his throat for a brief second before making the announcement that would change my life forever "Welcome everyone to this party hosted by me for all mateless werewolves from far away packs and beyond. You all don't know how happy I feel standing here while seeing proofs that the party was a bit of success" Alpha terror paused and smiled at other werewolves who had their arms safely wrapped around their mates.

"And for those who are yet to find their fated ones, Trust me when I say, you would find him or her soon. I'm also standing here to make an announcement, I, Alpha Terror has officially found my mate who is princess misty drake, the eldest daughter of the white moon pack"

Everyone looked like their eyeballs were about to bulge out of its socket. Shocked gasps resounded around the grand hall and for the first time in 18 years, I felt happy and finally ..... Accepted, not from the people, from my mate.

"As you all know that a mate bond is meant to last for a lifetime, when you find your soulmate, you cherish and love the other party, then you both grow old together till when the moon goddess chooses the day both of your lives would be cut off. That feeling is quite wonderful, isn't it?" Alpha Terror turned towards me, his eyes as cold as ever.

"Uhh... Yes, it's indeed the best feeling anyone could ever be opportuned to have" I spoke bashfully.

"So bad!, I don't want to experience that wonderful feeling with someone like you..." Alpha Terror spoke with venom laced in his voice.

My heart tightened immediately I heard those brutal words coming out from his slightly parted lips.

No!

I opened my mouth ready to beg him to stop and to never say those words, those words that could end me but instead I asked something else "Why??"

A question I always wanted to ask my parents, the pack in a whole and the moon goddess who saw my life as nothing else but a measly chaff which could be blown out by a wind.

Why was I treated this way!?

The prophesy had foretold that one between I and my twin sister would be the one that will bring doom to the pack but the name of the person was never spoken.

The prophet didn't say a word because according to him, he would be struck by lightning if he were to expose a single detail of it.

What made them believe I was the one?.

My ugliness and the fact that I'm human!

What is so bad in being human!, At least, the humans I know isn't as cold-hearted and brutal as my pack members, they were sweet and so full of joy and happiness . They... They accepted me for who I am.

Something my parents couldn't do, rather, they were very ashamed of me.

As I thought about all these, my eyes turned cold and I clenched my fist, bracing myself up for what was to come. You got to be strong, mi.

"I, Alpha Terror, The Alpha of all alphas, reject you, Misty Drake, princess of the white moon pack as my Luna and mate. You are free to go out there and find love and protection in another man's arms for you will never find it in mine" Alpha terror spoke and I felt my heart sink into a bottomless pit. I felt broken beyond repairs while people smile victoriously.

"Accept it!" He commanded with a deep voice.

"I, Misty Drake, accepts your Terror Billia, rejection as your mate and the future Luna of the silver moon pack!"

They say that the pain of a rejection can't be felt by a human but today, I couldn't believe that statement.... Because coming to terms that my fated mate just rejected me without much thought about it hurt me like hell....

It felt like my body was slowly getting covered by an icy frost, spreading towards my heart.

I didn't feel the pull, didn't feel the sparks as he brushed past me with his face as stoic as ever. The mate bond was broken, few minutes after I met my mate.

Tears ran down my eyelids, dropping into the back of my palm.

I couldn't take in the snicker of resentment and excitement from the pack members as I ran away, as fast as I could until I arrived in my room.

I started to pack a light backpack I don't know where I'm going but I have to get the hell out of here. I look back into the bag to double-check everything

blanket, check

jacket, check

hairbrush, check

shirt, check

tights, check

underwear, check

first aid kit from the upstairs cabinet, check

A mere $45 cash from around the house, check

I was set.

I quickly sneaked out, making my journey towards my place of peace, a place that I wouldn't be judged or insulted for being ugly and to The only friend I had.
