Please Dont Hurt Me Lycan King Lucas

Flashback

Alone! Despised and Rejected. That is how I saw myself. That Is how they all saw me. I was the pack reject, or, the fancy word, an omega. The lowest of ranks among the wolves and the most worthless.

"You should have just died with your parents, freak!" Mia repeated, kicking me while I was down.

"I don't get why you're still here. Your parents were traitors!'' Mike added.

"You don't belong here." Jennifer said. "You're not one of us, you're a pathetic excuse of a werewolf.''

"You're weaker than a human. You disgust me!''

And the insults were hauled, one after another. I'm not sure for how long they kicked my stomach, or how many times I was punched after they encouraged me to get back up. The truth is, after you're beaten while down, then you learn a lesson. You get used to staying down. To take a beating.

"Alright, come on guys.'' Mistress Maggy called out, approaching from a distance. "That's enough.'' She said, pulling Jennifer, her daughter, away. She stood next to the others, who watched me intently. Mistress Maggy, a short dark haired 45 year old woman with a pot belly, was incharge of all the omegas. The truth is that she hated us, but I was at the top of her list.

"Elara...'' She let out, staring down at me. "When are you ever going to learn that this is not your place?''

End of Flashback

Standing in this moment,  all eyes on me,  I suddenly realise that perhaps I do belong here.  I have hope that things are finally better. The moon goddess has blessed me.

Now that I look at him,  the famous Alpha Gale, I feel my heart skip a bit. He is my mate, my Alpha.  All my suffering was going to be over. I wasn't going to be bullied anymore. I was the mate of an alpha. The moon goddess has not forgotten after all.

"You are my mate.''  Alpha Matthew repeats,  this time his authoritative voice soaring through the vicinity as he captures the attention of more people. It isn't long until a crowd surrounds me. Everyone was staring at me with disgust and judgement. but my eyes are only fixed on him. the incredibly handsome man that is my fated mate.

"Her?'' I hear someone mumble. "It can't be.''

"He has to find someone else.''

"He cannot possibly be mated to her.''

Murmurs and voices arise from the crowd.   Suddenly alpha Gareth walked up to him, whispering something in his ear that made him look at me with an indifference.

"You're an omega?'' He lets out, furrowing his eyes. I shake my head. "Yes."

"Why didn't you tell me?''  he asked, his voice slightly raised.

" I didn't think that mattered.''  I answered honestly. I watched the change in his expression. He wasn't looking at me with desire or admiration anymore. There was an ugly feeling that sat at the bottom of my stomach. Everyone that looked at me suddenly made me feel like the world was sinking in around me.

"Get on your knees!''  he demanded, his voice soaring through the air, seeking submission from everyone around.

I could feel the tears pricking my eyes as I fell to my knees abruptly.  My mind was convinced that something bad was about to happen. but I was hopeful. After all these years of suffering and pain,  something good had finally happened.

I spotted Jennifer and Mistress Mary standing at a distance watching. They looked at me with their usual disgust and content.  But I couldn't care less. The moon goddess has given me a mate. That is all I could ever ask for.

" What's your name?''  he asks, causing me to look up at him with great confusion.

"Elara Moore..'' I let out.

He wasted no time as he came to stand before me. I stared at the ground, bowing my head in respect and submission. The words that came after were meant to paralyse me and shutter my heart completely.

"Elara Moore,  I believe that the moon goddess has made a mistake by making you my mate.  I, Alpha Gale, reject you as my fated mate.''

I clutched my chest, feeling the stabbing pain as celebration erupted. My rejection somehow made more sense to the people. I looked up at him, but he avoided my eyes and walked away with Alpha Gareth, leaving me there, on my knees, as if I meant nothing.

My heart felt like it shattered into a thousand pieces. I thought Alpha Gale was going to save me, to protect me from all the pain. But instead, he rejected me, just like everyone else. I stayed there on my knees, tears streaming down my face, feeling the weight of humiliation. The crowd was still celebrating, jeering at me, and I realised that nothing had changed. I was still the omega, still worthless.

Mistress Maggy approached me, a sly smile tugging at the corners of her lips. She had always despised me, and now she revelled in my misery. "Well, well, Elara," she taunted, "Seems like even the moon goddess hates you."

I bit my lip, refusing to let her see my tears. But deep inside, I couldn't help but feel the raw pain of rejection gnawing at my soul. I had dared to hope, dared to believe that things would change, and now I was left with a heart shattered into a million pieces.

A group of warriors suddenly approached, causing dread to sink inside me.
