The Alpha’s Rejected Daughter by Humble Smith

Liam’s POV

I sat beside her on the sick bed; her eyes were close, and she wasn’t moving. The hospital machine was connected to her body, and the beeping sound was the only sound I could hear.

The doctors had reassured me that she responded well to the treatment and would wake up soon, but I was still restless as long as she was still motionless. My eyes were pinned on her eyes, and I kept hoping she would open those pretty eyes again. and look at me.

My heart was just so heavy, and I couldn’t say a word. I couldn’t think about anything. My inner beast was equally restless, and nothing else matters more than her.

Nobody could tell me what happened to her, but I saw the bullets. Someone actually shot at her inside that room, yet none of the guards and maids could tell who it was. The worst was that they refused to help her, and I had to come back and see her lying in the pool of her blood just outside the door.

The guards claimed they were following my order to not come close to her, which is why they didn’t help a dying soul. I had no time to deal with them before bringing her to the hospital because he life was what matters.

are lucky she isn’t dead, and I’m very thankful to G o d that she didn’t die. I swear with my blood that if she had died. dead bodies would be surplus. Not a single guard or maid in that castle will go scot-free. I will make sure I slay them all without remorse and do the same to their family

They can’t be in that house, and Selene gets attacked and dies while they act blind and claim they know nothing about it.

I thought I noticed a movement, and I leaned forward immediately, squinting my eyes at her fingers that just made the

“Selene, are you there? Do you still feel so much pain?” I cooed, my voice barely above whispers, as I moved my gaze to her pretty and innocent oval face with small, inviting lips.

Slowly, she opened those eyes-weak eyes that showed she was in pain and sheer sadness-as she flicked those eyeballs towards me but didn’t move her head.

“Selene.” I called her name softly, holding her palm. She was totally weak, yet I felt the restraint as she tried to pull her hands away from my grip.

“Please leave… me alone. Her voice was extremely low, and she really looked the other way when our eyes met.

“What happened? Please talk to me. If you are still weak, you can forget. Just stay calm and get fine. You don’t have to say anything for now. I just want you to be fine.”

“Please just go before they see us together. I am your s l a v e, and you’re my master. That should be how it is, please.” She spoke under her breath, and her eyes became wet as she contorted her face the moment she moved her injured leg.

“We agreed it would be just a way to bring you in. You can never be a s l a v e to me, and neither will I be a master to you. Gradually, we will…

“Stop the we, and go back to your wife. Why are you acting like you are single?” She asked with a dry heave, sadness clear in ger voice.

“I have no fiance. L.”

“Please, there is no need to try to deny or explain. We really don’t owe each other anything. You were nice enough to save. me from death. Allow me to be among the maids. Let me just live like that to escape all these attacks and threats. I don’t

want to be killed”

“Who attacked you? What did the person say? Please give me a hint on how I will get the badge. Did you see any significant.

marks or…

“I saw nothing, but as for what he told me, he said I should stay away from you because you have a flance who you will be that you getting married to. He saw how well fed and nourished 1 am-healthier than a s l a v e should be. He knew for sure. weren’t treating me as the toy you lent me, so he angrily shot at me.” She explained and finally turned her face to me.

“I shouldn’t be seen with you, so I don’t attract enemies to myself. You know I am a werewolf, and there is deep-rooted hatred for us here. I will be assassinated by one of your people so easily, and it can even be from your father.”

“Nobody will assassinate you. Listen, I will protect you. I promise you that. This will never repeat itself because I will always be by your side, and I will make my intention clear to my parents. Either they accept us to be together or I leave this kingdom. We can elope together and…”

“Don’t mention that, please. Just stop talking at this point because I am having a headache. I am becoming sick of these words, as I have been hearing them almost every day of my life from different people who claimed to love me. It’s just tiring at this point.” she hissed, sniffling her tears.

“find out who hurt you and…”

“I find anything. Go to your wife so I won’t be attacked again.” She said it in a pleading tone.

“I will kill her rather than be with her. If my parents force me on her, I’ll take her life just so I can be with you.” I said it inaudibly. She didn’t hear it, and there was no need for her to hear it.

I understand her fear. The pain she went through just because of me. I failed her, and I must make it up by getting the man who hurt her. I will surely find out through both the hard and cruel ways. No one can hurt my jewel and go scot-free. I will never allow that.
