Chapter 4 Daisy. Nothing could have prepared me for the pain of being rejected by my fated mate. Everything I want iswithin reach. Alpha Xavier looms over me with his cruel eyes, and I can barely breathe. His presence islarger than life, but although he is here, he is no longer mine. He never was. Why did the moon goddess make him my mate? He is an Alpha-a weakling like me could never makehim happy. But maybe this is a test to see if I’m going to break from his rejection? I might. Tears burn in my eyes as I lift my chin to meet his ice-cold ones. They are green like emeralds, sobeautiful I’m captivated on the spot, but there isn’t even a hint of emotion inside of them. “Are you sure about this?” I ask in a low voice. “What is done is done, Alpha Xavier replies before leaning his broad shoulder against the doorframe.“Had I not been the Alpha of my pack, things might have gone differently, but I can’t change who I am.” I swallow thickly and whimper, “What does that even mean?” “It means I need a strong mate that can give me an heir worthy of taking over my pack when I’m gone-someone like your sister, Isabella She is a powerful warrior wolf, unlike you, who can’t even shape-shift…” He shrugs those massive shoulders of his. “If the rumors about you are true, that is…” “Th-there are rumors about me?” I hiccup. “Videos, too,” a cruel smile spreads over his lips when he sees my obvious confusion. “Don’t tell meyou haven’t seen your sister’s videos on Wolf Tok? Some of them have millions of views” novelbin
*Videos?” Alpha Xavier reaches into his pocket, picks up his phone, and clicks on a few buttons before handing itover to me. First, I see my sister’s face. Her hand is over her mouth with the caption, “Want to see something trulypathetic?” before the screen changes into something that makes my heart sink: it’s a video of me trying
to shape-shift under the full moon. My whole pack-the Evergreen pack-is changing into wolves in the background while I’m down on allfours like a fool. My body contorts in awkward spasms, but nothing happens. I look pitiful, a broken wolfunable to fulfill her destiny. The laughter and comments below are brutal, mocking my feeble attempts. The tears that were threatening to fall rush forth now, unchecked and unstoppable. Humiliation andpain twist into a jagged knot in my chest. The solid weight of the phone in my hands feels foreign,surreal even, as the video loops over and over, each replay a fresh stab of betrayal. “Why are you showing me this?” I ask, choking on the words. “To help you understand your place.” he says with a nonchalance that only deepens the wound. “You’renot suitable to be an Alpha’s mate.” I toss his phone back to him, unable to watch a second longer. The screen shatters as it hits the floor, sc a tt e r i n g shards of glass. He doesn’t flinch or recoil at the destruction; if anything, he seems mildlyimpressed.

A sudden fury rises within me. “I may not be strong in the way you want,” I say, my voice barely low butsteady despite my grief. “But strength isn’t only physical strength is endurance, strength isperseverance……” He interrupts with a bitter laugh before forcing himself off the doorframe and walking away. “Enduranceand perseverance won’t help you when we are under attack His voice is cold-like the rest of him. 1 watch his retreating form, every musele in my body stiff and tense. But then something shifts withinme-a spark of defiance that hardens into determination. “You will regret this?” I shout after him even though I have no idea if my words are the truth. Alpha Xavier, however, turns around with an amused smirk. I hate how attractive it makes him look.“The day when pigs fly, and the moon tums to cheese, maybe, he retorts with a derisive chuckle. “Untilthen, I suggest you accept your role in your pack.”
“What if I become stronger than my sister?” I blurt out. He snorts in response, “I doubt that will happen, but keep dreaming.little Omega. There’s nothingwrong with having ambitions. I narrow my eyes. “Are you making fun of me or encouraging me?” His grin turns wolfish. “You tell me.” With that, he strides away, disappearing out of the private luxurious room. I don’t follow him.
