Chapter 3 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.
