Rejected Luna strike back

Emily's..

I slowly opened my eyes, feeling a heavy pain washing over me. As I looked around, I realized I was in a different room, but I couldn't remember how I got there or what I was doing there.

Gradually standing up, I made my way to the bathroom and entered. I stared at myself in the mirror for a moment, deciding to wash my face before heading back to the castle.

It was Lia's 18th birthday yesterday, and I felt sad for her because she hadn't yet found her mate. To lift her spirits, we had decided to celebrate her special day. However, one thing puzzled me: how did I end up in this room?

As I started walking towards the castle, I entered and headed over to the chamber where Drake usually stayed. Instead of finding someone who might be worried, I was met with a gaze filled with anger and hate.

"Where have you been?" His voice was heavy with resentment, as if he held something against me.

"I..." Just as I began to speak, he slammed his foot on the floor and approached me.

"For the last time, where have you been?"

I stared into his eyes, unable to comprehend why he was behaving this way. I had known Drake for many years, and even though he was an Alpha, I had never seen this side of him before. He was usually calm and composed, but today it felt as though I was facing a different person.

He held my hand tightly as he pulled me closer towards him. I yelped in pain as I tried to get away, but his grip on me was so strong that it felt like my hands were burning.

"I will ask you again, Emily. Where are you coming from?"

I stared at him, not understanding where he was going with this line of questioning. He knew perfectly well that I had gone to Lia's birthday party, so why was he acting as if I had been somewhere else entirely?

"I went to Lia's birthday party last night to support her. Why are you doing this? Let me go, Drake."

He pushed me away, and I landed on the floor, looking up at him. Why was he so angry? What had gotten into him?

"Did you go to Lia's birthday party, or did you go there to have sex?"

His words shocked me, and I slowly stood up, staring at him.

"What are you saying, Drake? I went to Lia's birthday party. Why would you think that I went there to have sex, and with whom?"

He threw an envelope at me, and I looked at it, confused.

"I should be asking you that same question. I can't believe a Luna would stoop so low and disgrace me, the Alpha. Not only that, but you have brought shame upon this pack."

I knelt down, picked up the envelope, and studied it for a moment before looking back at Drake.

"Go on, open it and see the shame you have brought upon this pack."

I carefully opened the envelope, a sense of foreboding washing over me as if I were about to discover something that would change my life forever.

Inside, I found a picture and turned it around, only to drop the envelope and stare at the image in shock.

"Now tell me, Emily, is this from the birthday party you attended?"

I glanced up at Drake, unable to comprehend what this image meant. How did I end up here, and who was the man next to me, appearing as though he was embracing me? Why was I asleep in a bed with a different man who wasn't Drake? I slowly looked back at Drake, but before I could speak, he raised his hands to stop me.
