Chapter3: The Rejection

Days had gone by with the usual routine. Wake up, get abused, get his food, get abused again and the cycle continues.

The only good part of my day constantly remained Mia.

I checked the clock situated on the kitchen wall and I knew it was time to go to Lucas' room again.

I sighed as I washed my hands and left the kitchen, leaving the other duties to the rest.

I made my way to his room, passing by guards on the way there.

Finally, I got to his door and just before I knocked, I heard moaning. I frowned as I pressed my ear against the door to be sure I heard right.

My heart hammered against my chest as I cracked the door open slightly.

I could not help the gasp that escaped my lips from the sight that met my eyes.

I watched as Mia's curls bounced on and off her naked back as Lucas pounded her from behind and her moans filled my ears.

They both froze and turned towards the door but I quickly got out of sight and began to run away from the room, as tears pricked my eyes.

I was almost out of the corridor when Lucas' loud voice stopped me from behind.

"Get back here" he said and I gulped nervously before I turned around.

I walked back to his room as I forced myself not to cry.

My heart felt like it was on the verge of breaking apart as I got back to the door.

"Come in" he said and I froze. What?!

"Come in" he said again, emphasizing on each word. Fear washed over me as I slowly pushed the door open and walked in, only to see their still naked bodies.

I kept my eyes on the floor out of fear and disbelief.

It was not possible.

Mia would not do that to me.

She would never. There had to be an explanation of some sort.

"Close the door and sit down" he said and I gulped before following his order.

"Now, look at us," he said as he turned Mia around to face me.

I frowned slightly and hesitated.

"Do not make me repeat myself" he said and I froze before I immediately raised my head and looked at them.

His face held complete disgust as he stared at me and my eyes slowly turned to look at Mia. She had a huge smile on her face as she stared at me with mockery.

I felt out of breath as I looked at her.

"Don't look away" Lucas said and I kept my eye on them as tears streamed down my cheeks in pain. My heart shattered into a million pieces.

He bent her over and made me watch as he rammed himself into her and she moaned his name with pleasure till they both came.

Pants filled the air as I tried to blur them out of my view but it was hard.

The pain I felt was just too much and it felt like I was actually going to pass out.

"You are supposed to be my best friend," I whispered. I did not know when I did. I heard my voice before I realized it was me.

Mia giggled.

"Best friend? Oh, come on Kieran, get over yourself. No one likes you. Not even your mate" she said and Lucas whipped his head to me.

"Mate?" He asked angrily as he pulled his pants on.

"I made my instructions clear, did I not?" He asked and I gulped.

I was not supposed to tell anyone and I did. I was as good as dead.

"I'm sorry, Alpha" I said as I hoped for the best I knew I would not get.

"It's okay. This is long overdue anyway" he said as he walked towards me and I immediately got on my knees.

What was long overdue?

"Please, Alpha, forgive me" I begged and he chuckled humorlessly.

He raised his hand and slapped me, really hard and the impact made me fall to the floor before I quickly got back on my knees.

He dragged me by my hair and pulled me outside, with Mia following quickly behind us. I shrieked from the pain that I felt in my scalp as he dragged me.

I cried and begged but he didn't listen.

He dragged me outside till we were in the middle of the palace grounds, already calling a crowd to us.

Then he kicked me with extreme force in my ribs. I gasped as I grunted and coughed.

I kept begging him out of fear of what he might do but he just scoffed with disgust.

"What a rat" he said and everyone laughed.

"I, Lucas Culkin, reject you, Kieran Franklin as my mate" he said and surprised gasps erupted from the crowd.

I screamed from the pain I felt in my chest as our mate bond broke and my wolf howled in my head as well. I gripped my chest from the pain I

felt as he stared at me with that same disgust and kicked me in my ribs again.
