Rejected Little Secret by Lisj

Chapter 17 

I can’t believe Zeke would do this to us. 

Banning Sammy and me from the training grounds? Who does he think he is? It’s not like we did anything wrong. We were just minding our own business, trying to live our lives like everyone else in the pack. 

But no, Zeke has to go and pull this stunt, acting like some kind of power–hungry tyrant. He’s always had a bit of an ego, but I never thought he’d stoop this low. Banning us just because he’s mad at me? It’s ridiculous. 

And to think, he was supposed to be my True Mate. The one person who was supposed to have my back no matter what. But instead, he’s acting like a spoiled child throwing a tantrum. It’s pathetic, really. 

I march towards the pack house, my frustration growing with every step. How dare Zeke treat us like this? Like we’re nothing more than pests to be swatted away. Well, I won’t stand for it. I’ll march right into that pack house and him a piece of my mind. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Who does he think he is, anyway? Just because he’s the Alpha doesn’t mean he can treat people however he wants. There are rules, damn it. Rules that even Alphas have to follow. 

But of course, Zeke thinks he’s above all that. He always has. Ever since we were kids, he’s had this attitude like he’s better than everyone else. And now that he’s Alpha, it’s only gotten worse. 

I can feel my blood boiling as I approach the pack house. I take a deep breath, trying to calm myself down before I go in. I can’t let Zeke see how angry I am. That would just give him more satisfaction. 

But it’s hard to keep my cool when I think about everything he’s done. How he kept our relationship a secret, how he cheated on me with Nadia. And now this? It’s like he’s determined to make my life miserable. 

Well, I won’t let him. I won’t let him push me around anymore. I’ll march right into that pack house and demand that he lift this ban. And if he refuses? Well, then he’ll have a fight on his hands. 

I reach the pack house and push open the door, my anger fueling my every step. I can hear voices coming from inside, but I don’t care. All I can think about is giving Zeke a piece of my mind. 

“Hey-” one of my packmates said, grabbing my arm. “You’re not supposed to be here, pup. Not after that stunt you pulled with an outsider. 

I scoffed, pulling my arm away. “The f*ck are you talking about?” 

“I’m talking about you not knowing how to close your f*cking legs. You really think you’re all that? News travels fast, pup. Don’t make us regret adopting you-” 

“I don’t have time for this. I spat, already walking away. 

I don’t care what anyone says. I need to find Zeke and sort this mess out once and for all. They can call me whatever they want, but I won’t let them stop me. I push open the door to Zeke’s office, ready to confront him and demand 

answers. 

But when I step inside, I freeze. 

It’s not Zeke sitting behind the desk. It’s Nadia, his new Luna. My stomach churns at the sight of her, and I feel a surge of anger rising inside me. How dare she take my place? How dare she betray me like this? 

Nadia’s sitting there, smiling sweetly as she arranges framed photos of her and Zeke on his desk. My blood boils at the sight of her, but I force myself to stay calm. I won’t let her see how much she’s getting to me. 

Nadia looks up as I enter, her smile widening as she sees me. 

“Maya, darling, how lovely to see you,” she says sweetly, but I can hear the underlying malice in her voice. I grit my teeth. trying to ignore the urge to slap that smug look off her face. She continues, “You know I’ve heard all these crazy stories around town, but I never believe them. I know you never had it in you to… you know. You just seem too… well, it’s just not your style.” 

I wanted to say because it was more her style than mine but I kept my lips sealed. 

“How are you?” she asks, her voice dripping with fake concern. “I hope you’re doing well.” 

I can’t help but scoff at her words. How dare she pretend to care about me? How dare she act like she didn’t just betray me? I know exactly what she’s trying to do, and I won’t fall for it. 

“I’m just peachy,” I say through gritted teeth, forcing a fake smile onto my face. “Thanks for asking.” 

Nadia’s smile falters for a moment, but then she quickly recovers, her expression turning saccharine sweet once again. 

“That’s wonderful to hear,” she says, her tone sickeningly sweet. “I’m so glad everything’s going well for you.” 

I can feel my temper rising at her patronizing tone, but I refuse to let her see how much she’s getting to me. I take a deep breath, trying to calm myself down before I say something I’ll regret. 

“Is there something you need, Maya?” Nadia asks, her smile never faltering. “Or did you just come here to say hello?” 

I feel a surge of anger bubbling up inside me at her words. How dare she speak to me like that? How dare she act like she’s better than me? I may not be the Luna anymore, but I still deserve respect. 

“I came here to see Zeke, I say, my voice cold and clipped. “Is he here?” 

Nadia’s smile widens, and I can see the satisfaction gleaming in her eyes. 

“Well, I can certainly call my fiancée for you. Just give me a second, will you?”
