What did he say? Was he trying to reject me as his mate? as his future Luna?
My mouth was wide open, and my entire body stiffened as a result of Prince Javier's abrupt rejection.
"Please accept my rejection, Omega!" Prince Javier raged at me.
I regained consciousness as he screamed in front of me.
"What?" I faltered as I looked into Prince Javier's eyes.
"I told you to accept my rejection!" Prince Javier reiterated what he had said.
"But why is that? Why do you want to turn me down as your Luna?" I inquired, confused.
Because of my question, Prince Javier's eyes furrowed. I felt his anger at me because of his look, but I did not show fear in him.
"What do you think you're expecting, that I'll accept you as my Luna?" With a scornful tone, Prince Javier inquired once more.
"I just wanted to let you know that I looked into your information today and I discovered who you are and where you're from!" He added to inform me.
"I'm not insane enough to accept you as Luna! An orphaned woman, an Omega, and you are a wolfless werewolf!" He told me in my face what he knew about me.
I was unable to speak as a result of what Prince Javier had told about me, which was all true.
"You're right, I came from an orphanage, I'm an Omega, and I'm now a wolfless werewolf, but that's not a cause to reject me, Prince Javier," I firmly responded.
Prince Javier laughed, "These are sufficient grounds for me to reject you! You are a worthless woman, and I have no intention of accepting you as such!" he declared.
The words he shouted pierced my breast as a thousand knives hit me. I was aware of these facts, but when I heard those terrible remarks from others, particularly my Mate, I appeared to pass out.
" If I were you, I'd accept my rejection !" Prince Javier responded angrily.
"No!" I responded forcefully.
Because of my response, Prince Javier's eyes narrowed, his teeth tightened, and his hands clenched.
"Do you want me to make your life a living hell? If you don't accept my rejection, I will do that?" I was threatened by Prince Javier.
"But, Prince Javier, you're my mate!" I was adamant.
"I don't mind! I am an Alpha, and rejection will not bother me!" He replied.
That is not correct! If a werewolf rejects his or her mate, they claim to be in so much pain that they may seem to commit suicide.
"I'm not going to accept your rejection, Prince Javier!" I responded with a firm reply.
I have no intention of accepting Prince Javier's rejection since his role as the future Alpha of the Bloodlust Pack represents a significant opportunity to resurrect the Pack that my parents founded. I will not take rejection from him, no matter what, even if Prince Javier threatens me.
"If that's the case, brace yourselves, because I'm not going to let you be my Luna!"
Prince Javier's final words before entering the palace. I was left to my position in the butterfly garden. To calm myself, I took a big and deep breath.
"I will not let Prince Javier turn me down! I will go to whatever length to gain his acceptance!" I said firmly to myself.
I spent about 30 minutes in the butterfly garden before returning to their quarters. When I entered our room, Eury was brushing her hair in front of the mirror.
"Gab, where have you been? Why didn't you eat everything I brought you?" Eury inquired at me as she looked in the mirror.
"Eury, I just came out. I was full earlier and forgot to put it away," I'd lie, but the truth was that it was all because of Prince Javier.
"I'll take a shower first," I said goodbye to Eury to escape her questions. I know that she will ask me some questions until she heard what she wants to hear.
'What would Prince Javier do to me when he threatened to make my life a living hell because I refused to accept his rejection?' I pondered this as water streamed from her head to her body.
As I felt the coolness of the water pouring through my body, I closed her eyes.
'Who actually Prince Javier is?' Is it true that he is a ruthless man?' I continued to think.
I simply sighed. I kept bathing till I was done.
I sat up in bed after getting dressed. I wasn't weary because I had slept all day.
I began to feel drowsy about five hours later. I closed my eyes and layout on my bed.
I awoke the next morning due to Eury shaking my shoulders.
"Come on up, Gab, we'll make breakfast and serve the Alpha's family!" Eury told to me.
I awoke from my slumber and rose from my bed.
"Prepare yourself. I'll be the first one to go to the palace. If you have finished preparing yourself, proceed there immediately!" Eury said me her goodbyes.
Eury rushed out of our room as I prepared to begin my day as a maid.
I exited the room and made my way to the kitchen when I was ready. As I walked into the kitchen, I noticed my coworkers were busy. I instantly pitched in to assist them to serve Alpha Bernard's family in preparing their breakfast.
When we were finished, I and the other maids go out of the dining room, leaving only the old maids in the dining room.
Some of my companions had already begun their work, such as cleaning the entire palace, while she and Eury proceeded to the laundry room to wash clothes.
"How come Prince Javier isn't there earlier? I want to see him badly!" Eury was taken aback and inquired.
We had not seen Prince Javier before they left; only Alpha Bernard and Luna Gladys had entered the dining area earlier.
I didn't respond to Eury's query, instead of focusing on the laundry.
"I'm extremely unlucky, Gab," Eury murmured, drawing my attention to her.
"Why? What happened, and why did you tell me that you were unlucky?" I was taken aback and asked her.
"I hoped to be Prince Javier's Luna, but nothing happened. The Moon Goddess did not choose Prince Javier as my Mate," Eury responded to me with sadness.
"You? Gab, did you feel anything when you saw Prince Javier? Perhaps you're his Luna!" Eury inquired while we were both doing their laundry.
Eury's abrupt question caused my eyes to widen. Because I couldn't speak, my tongue seemed to retreat.
"Gab, why do you seem to have seen a ghost? What exactly happened to you?" Eury inquired when she noticed my expression.
"How can I tell who my mate is if my wolf hasn't returned yet?" I responded to her inquiry.
Eury agreed because of my response, "You have a point."
"Why hasn't your wolf returned yet? Gab, perhaps she abandoned you permanently," Eury voiced her opinion.
"No way, Eury. According to what she informed me when I was eighteen, she will return!" I had a response for her.
"When will she return? What about when you're old? When you don't have the ability to conceive?" Eury interrogated me.
"I'm not sure," I said, "but I believe she'll be back soon," I added.
Eury shook her head in response to my words. We just kept doing our work. We were in the laundry when I was called by one of their coworker maids.
I rose to her feet and faced the woman, "What's the matter, Gwen? Why do you call me?" I enquired of Gwen.
"Prince Javier is looking for you, Gab," Gwen answered which made my eyes widen.
Why is he looking at me?
"What can I do for you, Prince Javier?" I asked him when I arrived at the butterfly garden.
"Get yourself ready at 8 in the evening, we will go out!" said Prince Javier as he turned his back on me.
I widened my eyes, and I felt like my body froze because of what he said to me.
Why did he order me to get ready and what was his reason for us to go out?
"Wear your best dress. I don't want anyone besides me with unpleasant clothes," he added.
'Are we going to go out? To have a romantic date? ' I asked myself.
"Prince Javier ..." I wanted to ask if we were going to have a romantic date, but Prince Javier interrupted me.
"I don't want to hear anything from you. Go back to your quarter to prepare yourself!" he said to me.
"And one thing, don't ever mention that you are my Luna! Do you understand?" Last words of Prince Javier before he walked away to enter the palace.
My eyes followed the back of Prince Javier. When Prince Javier finally entered, I couldn't help but feel my heart pounding as if it were racing. My face grew hot because of the thought we were going to have a romantic date.
I returned to our room with Eury with a sweet smile on my face. When I entered our room, Eury immediately noticed my sweet smile which surprised her.
"Was there something that happened, Gab?" Eury asked me.
I looked at her, "None," I shortly answered my friend.
Eury frowned. She knew there was something strange about me and I know she can't help but wants to know what makes my sweet smile!
"Don't fool me, Gab. We spent all the time together, I know if you're lying or not, so tell me now!" said Eury with emphasis.
I tilted my head while smiling at her, "Nothing important, Eury. I just feel happy when I remember the happy things that happened in my life," I lied.
Eury just sighed because of what I said.
"We both have an oath that no one will keep secrets, we will tell the things that happen to us, Gab," she said trying to conscience me.
I looked at her friend. I could clearly see her serious face and I knew she wouldn’t stop asking until I told the truth.
"I'll tell it all, but don't ask, Eury," I told her.
Eury smiled because of what I said. She quickly approached me and excitedly asked.
"What? Tell me now, Gab!" Eury asked excitedly.
I bowed my head before I answered her.
"I already found my mate, Eury," I answered weakly but it was as if a powerful bomb had hit Eury.
"What did you say?" Eury asked Gabriella incredulously.
"I've already found my mate, so now, I have to get dressed because we're both going out," I replied smiling at her.
Eury's eyes widened and she couldn't move because of what she found out.
"Is your wolf back, so you already know who your Mate is?" Eury asked me.
I tilted my head, "My wolf isn't coming back yet. I only found out that he's my mate because he said so," I replied.
"Are you sure about what you're saying, Gab? What if he's just fooling you?" Eury asked.
"It's not hidden from your knowledge that you are beautiful, you have a perfect body, your skin is flawless like a princess, Gab! What if, he just said that you are his Luna to take advantage of you?" Eury asked me worriedly.
I smiled and held Eury's hand, "Don't worry, Eury. He has no reason to lie to me. I'm pretty sure he's my mate," I assured her.
Eury closed her eyes because of what I said. If she knew that Prince Javier was my mate, I knew she will support me no matter what happens.
"Who is your lucky mate, Gab?" Eury suddenly asked me.
"I'm sorry, Eury, but he told me that I would never say who he was," I replied.
"If he can tell me that I can tell who he is, I'll make sure you're the first one to know, Eury, I promise you that," I added.
"What else can I do?" with sadness or frustration, Eury asked me.
"I am really very sorry, Eury, if I can't tell you. So now, help me to be a beautiful lady, Eury. My dresses should be in order, my body, my looks, everything should be perfect for our meeting later," I pleaded with her.
"Sure, Gab, I'll take care of you and I'll make sure your Mate will fantasize about you!" Eury replied to me.
I also spent almost two hours preparing for my meeting with Prince Javier. Eury made sure I was as well and beautiful as she had said before.
"You really look like a princess, Gab! You're so beautiful!" Eury complimented me.
I smiled as I looked at my reflection in the mirror. I was wearing a red gown with artificial diamonds that we borrowed from one of our fellow maids. Eury also fixed my face and hair. She put make-up on my face, and she arranged my hair nicely.
"Because of you, I'm beautiful, Eury, so thank you for your effort," I told her.
"Tomorrow, you will tell me what will happen when you and your Mate come out, Gab!" said Eury to me.
"No worries, Eury, I'll tell you everything that will happen to the two of us tonight," I assured her.
"I need to leave now, Eury. What he told me earlier was 8 p.m.," I said goodbye.
"Okay, go ahead, be careful, Gab. I'll just leave the door unlocked so you can get in when you arrive," Eury told me.
I smiled at her and kissed her on her cheek before I left our room.
I walked quickly to the butterfly garden. When I arrived, there was no Prince Javier that made me surprise. I rolled my eyes around the butterfly garden until I saw a paper on a plant. I approached the paper and read what was written.
When I read what was written, I left the butterfly garden to go out the gate of the palace, and go to the place that was written on the paper earlier.
When I got out of the Gate, I walked a few meters before I reached the place where the two of us would meet. As I approached, I saw a black car. I quickly approached the car because that was what we would use where we were going.
When I approached, the car door opened. I peeked inside and saw Prince Javier in the driver's seat. He was wearing only a black t-shirt and pants, and a pair of rubber shoes.
"Go inside!" Prince Javier commanded me.
I quickly got into the car. When I closed the door, we began to go where we were going.
I noticed that the two of us were getting away from the Bloodlust Pack, so I asked.
"Where are we going, Prince Javier?" I asked.
Prince Javier didn't look up and answered my question, so I just kept quiet and looked out the car window.
We traveled for almost an hour before Prince Javier stopped his car.
"Come on," Prince Javier invited me before he left.
I quickly got out of the car to chase Prince Javier.
"Are you sure that's where we're going, Prince Javier?" I asked in astonishment.
"Don't ask any more questions. Just come with me!" Prince Javier had an emphatic answer for me.
I stopped walking and looked at the place where we going, a bar!
"What else are you doing there? Hurry up!" Prince Javier roared.
I looked at Prince Javier, his eyes were serious so I quickly approached where he was.
"All I say and all I need, you will do, is that clear?" said Prince Javier to me.
I just nodded as an answer to what he said, and then, we walk into the bar.
Gabriella's Point of View:
Because of the yelling of the he-wolves and some she-wolves present, and the rock music all over, it's really loud inside the bar, and I can smell alcohol and cigarette smoke around.
I gulped my saliva as I looked around the bar, carrying two buckets of beer for them.
I can't even imagine my current condition. I'm wearing a gown, and Eury worked hard to make me beautiful, but where am I? I'm here to serve some betas and Prince Javier.
"Hello, lovely lady!" I turned to face the man who had yelled.
As he gazed at me, I noticed his right hand lifted.
"When are you going to bring us the beer bucket? Why are you still standing there staring all over?" He asked, his brow wrinkled and his eyes glaring at me.
I gave him a kind smile. I approached him and handed him one of the buckets containing drinks.
"If you continue to execute your work in this manner, we will report you to Prince Javier! You will undoubtedly be punished!" He informed me. His voice sounded threatening.
I centered myself. Because of what he stated, I felt a little scared.
Prince Javier had threatened me earlier, when we entered the Bar, that if I did not follow him, he would punish me.
When the two of us walked in, he spoke with the manager, he told the manager to leave and send all of the servers inside the bar to go home because I would be their server!
That's when my body went numb. I was dissatisfied. I assumed he had invited me out for a romantic evening, but I was mistaken! He brought me along because he intended to make me a server here in the bar!
I didn't even consider it when he invited me out. It never occurred to me that he had previously informed me that he would make my life a living hell if I denied his rejection.
As far as I know, when your mate rejects you, you will experience great internal pain. That pain can kill you, but why doesn't Prince Javier seem to feel it after he rejects me?
I knew he wasn't lying when he said I was his Mate since he had no reason to, but why?
Yes, I am an Omega, wolfless werewolf, and a maid in their Palace, but shouldn't he be glad because he has already seen his Mate, who will always be alongside him?
Is it true that you will be pleased after you have met and seen your mate? Or is it all a giant dream? Is it just a large imagination? Is there really no happy ending?
So, all of the romance novels I've read have been false? That when you see the one who is destined for you, you will be pleased and believe that there is no limit to the world as long as the one you love is at your side?
However, I have witnessed several circumstances that made she-wolves like me happy when they met their Mate. And now, they are happy together, giving and sharing their love for each other? Why didn't I feel the same way? Why didn't I feel the same way when I met Prince Javier as my Mate?
Eury advised me back then that if I saw and met my Mate, everything would be perfect in my life since I could avoid being a maid or lifting my status as an Omega. He'll adore me, and I'll love him back. We will build a family and live happily ever after. Isn't that all a figment of my imagination? Because, based on what I observe in my current situation, what Eury said to me is unlikely to occur.
"Are you stupid or what? Why are you still spacing out?" When a man yelled at me, my senses returned.
I lowered my head at him and explained, "Sorry for the delay, but it's been two hours since I served you all."
"That is not our issue. According to Prince Javier, we have the authority to command you!" The man responded.
"Server, we require your presence!" I overheard another man yell. I glanced for the person who had yelled and saw a man waving at me.
"Excuse me, I must depart," I said.
"What do you need?" I asked as I approached the man. With a smile, I inquired.
"Go to the top of the table," he said.
Because of what he stated, my brow furrowed "What? What exactly do you mean?" My voice stuttered as I inquired.
"Are you clever or just foolish, Omega?" he asked me back.
"Why should I stand at the top of the table?" I inquired of him.
He gave me a lethal look and replied, "We want to watch you dance at the top of the table!"
Because of what the man stated, I opened my eyes and felt like ten buckets of ice were spilled all over my body.
I looked around for Prince Javier, but all I saw were his companions at the table, smiling and pleasantly speaking as they sat in front of the table, four men and five women. A woman sat on his lap, her arm around Prince Javier's neck, her fingers caressing his body.
"Will I call Prince Javier, or you will follow what I said?" The man asked me, his voice threatening.
"No! I am not a dancer nor a prostitute!" I greatly oppose the man.
He slammed the table, gritting his teeth and narrowing his gaze on me.
I am not insane enough to obey his command. I'm not going to be the center of attention here!
I know they're already inebriated. Their eyes were already red, and I could smell alcohol strongly from them.
When the man suddenly grabbed my arm and began walking, I widened my eyes. I fought the man's hold on me, but he is stronger than me. He had a firm grip on my arm, preventing me from doing anything.
We were getting closer to Prince Javier. I close my eyes since I know I'll be chastised.
We soon came to a halt, and I overheard what the man said to Prince Javier.
"This useless woman did not heed my commands, Prince Javier!" the man exclaimed.
"Do what they want you to do!" said Prince Javier sternly.
"But..." When he spoke again, I didn't complete what I was going to say.
"Don't irritate me," he said.
I sucked. I could hardly hear the man laugh. I saw Prince Javier's expression when I looked at him. I know that if I reject to follow him, something awful will happen to me.
The man grabbed my arm and dragged me back to their table. I stared at Prince Javier until he returned his gaze to his buddies and the woman on his lap.
"Come up to the table and do what we asked!" I was shouted at by the man.
I sighed and closed my eyes. I heard the man yell to the music person to change the music to something seductive.
The music soon changed. As I looked into the men's eyes in front of me, I felt creeped out. Because of their inebriation, their eyes and faces are bright red. I know that if I don't do what they want, Prince Javier will do something to me that I won't like.
With the expression on his face earlier, I knew he'd torment me if I didn't obey the men in front of me.
"What exactly are you waiting for? Make us happy!" The man inquired, his pals giggling hysterically.
I approached their table. I had no idea what to do and no idea how to dance, so I just moved my body. I closed my eyes because I didn't want to see their expressions. It's a pity they force me to do it. I'd leave and flee if I could, but I don't want Prince Javier to be disappointed. I want him to accept me regardless of what happens! For me, and to resurrect the Pack from which I came!
I could hear the laughter and yelling. I'm not sure whether I'm doing it correctly, but I don't care. So long as I follow their commands.
"Raise your hands! I'm looking forward to seeing your butt grind!" I overheard one man ordering me.
I went after him. I raised my two hands and attempted to grind.
"Yeah! That's ideal!"
Someone caressed my feet a few moments later. When I opened my eyes, I saw a man grinning like a monster at me.
"I want to see your legs," he continued, widening my eyes.
He ripped the bottom half of my gown! This is terrible! I just lent this garment to a fellow maid! I attempted to back up, but the man grabbed my legs.
"Keep dancing, little prey!" he exclaimed seductively to me.
I looked across to Prince Javier, who was engaged speaking with his companions.
"Don't do this," I stuttered.
"Are you directing my actions? What can you do if we are going to do this to you? " He inquired, abruptly removing my gown.
Because of what the man did to my gown, I got down on my knees at the table. I quickly hid my breasts. They were all laughing. Some of the men grabbed my hands, legs, and gown.
"Stop! Please stop!" I pleaded with them, but they didn't seem to hear me.
I was at a loss for what to do. I used all of my strength to prevent them from doing anything to me.
I pleaded with them, repeatedly, but they didn't stop until the table on which I was kneeling was ruined by the loud banging.
I collapsed on the floor, holding the shattered table. I gently opened my eyes and saw Prince Javier with a serious expression.
"Don't mess with her, she's my slave, my toy!"
