The Alpha’s Rejected Daughter by Humble Smith

There was shock on everyone’s face-that kind of shock that leaves you questioning a lot of things, including your sight. That moment you stare at what was happening in front of you, and you are forced to be doubtful about both your eyes and brain because you just couldn’t believe it was all real.

That was how the whole student was the moment we both stepped out of the royal cart, hands held together like couples with bodyguards flanking us.

They kept peering at me as if I had two heads, wondering what it was all about seeing their cold-hearted king, who hates the sound of love, holding my hands. This was Lucian’s idea, and I really couldn’t help feeling ecstatic at every step we both took forward into the school building.

This was the Lycan king, a man who was known and seen as a beast with no heart. He had really changed miraculously, and luckily I was the one he fell for. The moon goddess gave him to me, and no darkness or forces could stop it.

“Today will be the last day you attend school. I will be training you at home myself, and I won’t continue being a teacher here. It’s time I focus on my birthright as the ruler of this pack.” He broke the silence that had lingered between us since we stepped down.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

I shuddered a bit out of the joy that was overwhelming me. It felt so good that tears made their way into my eyes. It was tears of so much joy, which I find hard to control.

“Oh G o d, is this a dream? How did you suddenly change and are now in love with me?” I couldn’t help asking because it was all looking so unreal, especially considering that this wasn’t just any man but someone whose heart had been crushed by a woman, which made him cold and heartless,

He

Was well known to me and every one of my pack members as a devil in human form, a man who wouldn’t blink twice before taking lives as if they meant nothing. He was really wicked and dreadful.

How was it that I wasn’t dead? From the night of that curfew until now, there have been so many clear reasons for me to be dead and forgotten, but one way or another, I came out alive. It was like an unseen angel was protecting my life and finding ways for me to stay alive.

Now, from the rejected Alpha’s daughter, who has no wolf and is totally weak, here I was, holding hands with King Lucian, the man who I really feared would be the end of me. How he suddenly changed into this soft and caring man overnight was something I found hard to explain.

“Since the day I left you in that room and returned back here, I had been so restless, and your image had been all over my head while I forced myself to hate you. I kept struggling and forcing out the hatred, but it didn’t come. It took me weeks to respond to that letter because I was troubled. I knew what my negative response would result in.”

“Yet you did it.” I cut in, rolling my eyes at him. “So if I had died, your child and mate would be gone.”

“I knew my mother would come to save you, even though I wasn’t so sure. It was something I prayed for, and the moon goddess was kind enough to answer my prayer. I intentionally left that letter in a place where she would read it. I’m glad everything worked out, and here you are, with me.” He said with a soft tone as we got into the reception.

She stood up and bowed in respect, making sure she was facing Lucian alone to show I wasn’t part of who she was bowing to.

“What kind of uniform did you give to her yesterday?” Lucian’s tone, which had been soft earlier, became really cold and frightening.

The lady flinched in sheer fear as her eyes blinked continuously while she fought for words to say.

I…I… It was the one left.”

“My mother clearly announced that she would be attending this training school and sent her pictures to get her size made. Why wasn’t it done and another oversized, shapeless gown given to her instead?” He retorted; this time I was sure he would hit her. It all depends on her response. If it was tangible enough to reduce this anger.

“I swear. I have no idea why it was only that size left. 1….

“Tell whoever is in charge of making those school uniforms to meet me in the palace in the evening around 7 p.m. in the dot. You hear me clearly?” He snapped while she was still speaking, and she nodded continuously. Her eyes glimpsed at me. and I could see shock and disbelief in her eyes, which quickly changed to a hateful stare.

“Let’s go, so you will show me those that refused to let you sit after I instructed that they should make space for you. Also, I will gather all the teachers, and you will show me the one that made you sit on the floor?

“Okay, daddy, but one more thing I didn’t tell you.” I whined like a baby, pouting my l*ps as I held his strong hand.

“What’s that?” He asked, facing me.

This woman here directed me to the male bathroom that day and got me embarrassed and s l u t- s h a m e d. I entered the midst of n*ked boys bathing and changing their clothes because she intentionally led me there. I reported proudly, moving my eyes to the receptionist, whose eyes were now wide open and her m*uth agape as she stared at me.

Fear gripped her. Her body was shaking as she began to breathe fast.

“Is that true?” Lucian growled, facing her with fists clenched.

“It…it wasn’t intentional. I…I…

“It was. She laughed at me when I returned, showing she knew all she was doing. I interjected, and Lucian turned sharply to his bodyguard.

“She is sacked; take her to the disciplinary section. She should be lashed twenty times on her back.” He commanded, and the woman fell to her knees in front of me, her head bowed low to my feet as she pleaded for mercy, crying.

“Get your filthy self off her! Lucian snarled and kicked her hands off my feet before taking me by my hands.

“I know you have a good heart; don’t tell me to pity her, please. She deserves even more.” He said calmly to me as we paced together to the class. I could catch a glimpse of many students peeping from their class windows, unable to comprehend what their eyes were seeing

The greatest shock was seen when we got to my class and walked in, hands still held together. Lucian seemed to be enjoying the touch of my palm around his, as he wouldn’t even want to leave me for a second.

We got into the class, and it was that same teacher, the lady who refused to caution the students to let me with them after the fat girl had whispered something to her.

She was the first to see us as we came forward to the class door, and the first sight got her frozen, her eyes on us without blinking.

We entered the class, and the whole place became dead silent; some were already sweating, especially the fat girl who was trembling in addition.

“Point them out. And once you’re pointed, don’t waste any seconds before coming out.” That was all Lucian said as he freed my hand and folded his arms over his chest, the four hefty bodyguards standing behind in readiness.

Every eye flicked to me, appearing to be begging not to be called out; some even had their palms together, begging me to spare them.

The first thing I pointed out was the fat girl and her two friends, as they are the two I really wished to get punished severely.

It was so painful when they kicked me and even slapped me. They bullied me like I was a thrash.

“I didn’t do anything to…. One of the fat girl friends tried defending herself and regretted it immediately as her face got blinded by a hot, loud slap from Lucian, which snapped her face to the other side, leaving her in a daze for some minutes before getting struck by burning pain, which made her cry uncontrollable,

“If you

don’t keep quiet, I will give you two more.” Lucian warned, and she bit her l*ps to hold the s o b back, mu f f l i n g as she held her pure red ch*ek, which seemed to have Lucian’s hand printed on it already.

I then pointed out the two girls in the front two-the curly-haired one and the other-who were the first to refuse me from sitting with them and went as far a

calling me a street beggar, claiming they paid the fees in full.

Clearly. I could remember I told them I would report them to Lucian, and they said I was a fool if I thought he would save me. I guess the result came faster than they ever thought.

“Selene, it was just a joke. Please, you can sit with me. You can even have the entire desk. I will stay somewhere else.” She begged lowly, her eyes wet with tears already.

“We are really sorry… They kept whispering behind me while I ignored them entirely.

“I will use these four as an example and get them expelled not just from this school but from any other in this kingdom. That’s just an addition to the punishment they will go through. Next time, when I give an order, you will obey it. I told you all to make space for her to sit; you should have known she was special to me. Instead of obeying me, y’all decided to bully her. I will show you hell!” He seethed and gestured at his guards to take them away.

I glanced at the teacher, and she was really pleading profusely with her eyes for me not to mention her. She was lucky; if she had ever laid hands on me yesterday, she would have been among us now.

“Let’s go.” Lucian said to me and took my hand again as he led the way.

“I am sorry for every time I have been harsh to you and our child. I should be protecting you at all cost.” He smiled briefly.

“My fear is your personal bodyguard and his sister. They are meant to really harm me and the child, and as long as they are still in that royal castle, I will never feel safe.” I sighed, and he laughed, his laughter sounding really sweet.

“What do you want me to do to them? Just say it, love.” He hiccuped after mentioning the last word.

“Love?” I grinned, my eyes lit up, and just before I could know it, he pushed the door beside us open and pulled me in, then shut the door so fast. In a few seconds, I was pinned to the wall, his deep hazel eyes piercing into mine as both of his arms against the wall at my sides.

“What are you doing to me? My heart is racing, and I feel like I am going crazy. Your body is driving me crazy.”
