Rejected And Marked By The Ruthless Alpha

CASSANDRA

My eyes flutter open as I try to adjust to the sudden light in the room. First, this is not my room and memories from last night rush inside me like a flood and my face flushed instantly. Alpha Draco made love to me and the memory is so vivid in my mind.

The way his long hard explored my core. When he tongue fuck me, I know this is the pleasure Beatrice always talks about. And when I finally felt his long thick…

“Oh no, Cassandra.” I reprimand myself, blushing hard.

I yawned softly and stretched my body but something felt amiss. I touched the space beside me but there was no sign of the Alpha king.

“So you are awake now?” I heard his rich, deep baritone voice and my entire body jolted awake.

“Alpha…” I said in pure shock and tried to get down from the bed but I was naked.

I quickly covered my body up with the duvet and tried to look for where Alpha Draco was.

And then I spotted him.

He is sitting on the chair next to the window with a red wine in his hand. His dark hair tousled dangerously around his forehead. Clean-shaven jaw with beautiful amber eyes and full pink lips.

And those lips..

I taste them and he… he whispered my name. I remember him calling my name.

Could it be that, Alpha Draco know who I am?

Goddess. I can't believe it.

He is my Mate.

“Good morning Alpha,” I said with a smile on my face and tried to cover up my naked body.

My phone rang loudly and it seemed it might have been ringing throughout the night.

“Who are you?” Alpha Draco asked, his tone distant and cold.

I looked around the room because I couldn't quite fathom who Alpha Draco was talking to.

However, there is no one in the room except me. I swallowed hard, seeing that his gaze was directed at me. My heart skipped a beat and I smiled nervously.

There is no way he didn't recognise me right?

And why does that question make my heart hurt so badly?

“I'm talking to you.” Alpha Draco added and I felt air sucked out of my lungs

“I…” I began not knowing how to explain myself.

Am I going to inform him that I am actually the girl who ended up in his room because he kissed me? Or am I going to let him know I developed a crush on him for the past three years when he didn't even know me?

Should I inform him that I am actually his fated mate and he called my name last night? He made love to me, calling my name so why is he pretending as if he doesn't remember me?

“I said, 'Who are you?' he demanded with a voice so cold and I almost jumped out of fear.

He rose from the chair and walked towards me in his long strides. With each step he took, the rhythm of my heartbeat became disorganised. It is as if I can no longer recognise the man in front of me.

Is he not the same man who makes love to me and keeps whispering the word mine? How could he change so much as if he didn't know I was his mate?

“I am asking you a question, woman. Why is it so hard for you to answer me?” Alpha Draco asked and my lips shook violently with dread filling inside of me.

It seems I have stepped into the Lion's den and the chance of escaping now is too slim.

“My…. My name is Cassandra.” I stuttered and he climbed the bed. His long, lengthy hands lift my jaw and I stare straight into his amber eyes.

But instead of feeling elated that my Mate touched me, my whole body vibrated with fear.

With fear that last night might have been a mistake. That he didn't want me and I might make a terrible mistake.

Oh Goddess.

“And what are you doing here?” I asked and I tried to smile but it was so hard too. Not when he is looking at me like an enemy.

“Last night, you were drunk and you kissed me,” I said and he clicked his tongue. I could see that he was angry but I didn't know what to do or how to pacify him.

Could it be that he did not feel the bond?

“I am not curious to know that.” He said with the corners of his lips pulling up and my phone rang again.

“First pick that call. I could barely sleep all night because of your damn phone which didn't stop ringing.” He said and I nodded.

“Okay,” I said and he finally let my chin go. I stretched my hand to pick up my phone.

“Hello,” I said and Beatrice's voice broke through the speaker.

“Where are you, Cassandra?” She asked, her voice filled with panic.

“Your father is here and he is looking for you. Please tell me everything is okay with you.” Beatrice said and a lone tear almost escaped my lips but I forced it back.

If I cry now, I will only look weak in front of him and he will try to intimidate me. Though this might be a mistake, I need to tell him the truth. I didn't force myself on him. He did make love to me and it wasn't twice, even though I was a virgin.

“I can't explain Beatrice. Please let me call you back.” I said and ended the call.

I dropped the phone and looked into his eyes. They were filled with many emotions but then, as if they weren't there just now, all the emotions disappeared.

“You turned out to be my Fated mate last night and you called me Yours. We made love and that is how I ended up here.” I said with the last bead of strength I have in me.

“Bullshit!” he cursed and threw the glass of wine against the wall.

The glass shattered but I didn't move a finger. He wouldn't hurt me, right?

“That is one thing I wish you wouldn't say.” He said out loud, his voice rising and panic filled me from within.

“How? Why would a lowly Omega like you get Fated to me?” He asked no one in particular but I know that question was directed at me.

Just like everyone else, he is disappointed in me.

“I thought you recognised me and that is why…” He cut me off before I could complete my statement.

“I have someone I am planning to win her heart for crying out loud. This can't be happening. Why would the Moon Goddess be so dumb to mate me with a girl like you? Aren't you just a cheap slut who ended up in my bed by using your way” He said and my eyes widened in shock.

There is no way I heard that right.

A cheap slut?

Alpha Draco would never call me that.

He wouldn't call me…

“Tell me, how much do you want?” He asked and I swallowed. I just realised the gravity of what I had done and he must have taken me as one of the girls who want to end up in his bed.

What do I even think?

Alpha Draco doesn't have a girlfriend and everyone knows that but what I didn't realise is that he already developed feelings for someone, who is not me.

Just why Cassandra!

Am I going to blame the bond or my wolf, which I miraculously got last night and she chose Alpha Draco as my mate?

There was commotion outside and somehow, it was distracting from talking. In fact, I don't even know what to say.

Oh Goddess.

“Open the Goddamn door.” I heard a lady's voice outside and with force, the door was pushed open and a lady walked in in her high heels

“No. You can't do this to me, Draco.” She screamed when she saw me barely covered with the duvet.

“Why?” She asked as she walked towards him

“I can explain Jasmine. I don't know what happened. I think I was drunk last night and…” The girl called Jasmine cut Alpha Draco off.

“And what did she just say? She is your fated mate?” Jasmine asked and I swallowed.

She heard us.

I ruined his plan to marry her but everyone knew about how she had been avoiding him. She doesn't even love him.

But yet, I ruined everything for him.

“This can be solved. It's just a one-night thing with her.” Alpha Draco said and I swallowed.

I need to leave but how am I going to dress up when my dress is all over the floor?

“But she is your fated mate. Are you going to reject her? Can you do that for me?” Jasmine asked and I looked at Alpha Draco.

He looked so confused and angry and he didn't look my way since Jasmine came in.

“I have loved you Draco. You are the only man I have ever loved all my life but how could you let this bitch seduce you?” She said out loud and I felt a wave of embarrassment wash over me.

“She didn't seduce me, Jasmine!” Alpha Draco yelled and I swallowed because of the way he defended me.

Didn't he just call me a cheap slut before?

How could one person be cold and at the same time warm?

Did he remember what happened last night?

“I messed up by forcing myself on her and you never make your intentions clear towards me," he admitted and finally looked at me but not with love. His eyes were filled with hatred. He is only trying to make me escape Jasmine's wrath but he is damn sure that I am the one who seduced him.

“What? So you are admitting that you actually forced yourself on her?” Jasmine asked and let out a cold laugh.

“I am done with considering you. I am not interested in you anymore.” Jasmine said and left the room.

“Jasmine.” Alpha Draco said and ran after her.

I got down quickly from the bed and picked up my dress. The tears I fought hard to hold back finally came pouring down my cheeks.

“I am so sorry” I said as I wore my dress. I picked up my bag and made my way towards the door when the door suddenly flung open.

“I, Alpha Draco Quinn, reject you, Cassandra as my mate and Luna. I hope we don't cross paths again in the future.” He said and I ran out of the room when I felt the mark on my neck burn.

He marked me last night and yet, he rejected me.

When I got to the parking lot, I called Beatrice.

“Please come and pick me up. I need to go home.” I said to the phone and let out a painful cry.

I shouldn't have come to the party.
