The Alpha’s Rejected Daughter by Humble Smith

Selene’s POV

“You must be lying. little girl. And even if you’re pregnant, it can’t be mine. He whispered back, and I could see his guts as he swallowed hard, seemingly trying to sound harsh and cold, but his eyes and tone were giving him away. It was like he was fighting to keep his excitement at bay.

“Are you trying to deny the child? We both know it’s yours. Don’t you feel it already?” I said quietly, our eyes still locked.

“You are a liar, and I don’t believe anything you say, so get away from my front and go sit down. We will talk about it later, and not in front of these students.”

I smiled, but he didn’t return it; instead, his gaze slid down to my stomach.

“No other man had touched me after or before you did. Meanwhile, if you keep treating me badly, the child will end up hating you, and when you find out it’s your child, it will be too late.” I said lowly to him and maintain my smile while the whole class watched in confusion and their usual envy.

None of them could understand what was going on, but I could tell with no doubt that they were already burning in rage. It was clear they were all crushing hard on Lucian secretly.

I could feel their hateful eyes on me, and if stares were daggers, I would surely be overkilled.

The normal Lucian everyone knew would be dealt with so brutally that I would regret coming to class today.

“Do you know you’re endangering yourself? They will surely come for you.” Lucian frowned, his voice still low, and he had done well keeping a mean face.

“Point of correction: They will come for “us,” me and the baby. The child is depending on the father for protection.” I winked at him and turned my gaze fully to the student for the first time, in search of an empty desk to sit at.

I couldn’t help the shudder of fright that swept through me in the moment as I saw their devilish and vile expressions.

“Her name is Selene; she is the new student, which most of you must all know as the lady my mother picked and brought into the Kingdom. She will be joining us here. Someone should make a space on their seat for her since an extra desk hasn’t been provided yet..” Lucian spoke to the class with that cold, authoritative tone.

I don’t know how he does it, but his command was something one couldn’t think of disobeying because the tone alone was enough to tell you how merciless he was.

I glanced back at him with a smile, muttering a “thank you,” but his eyes weren’t at me at all. He was looking at the students sitting in front of us. “See you all next time.” He shrugged and walked out of the class abruptly.

Was he already done teaching, or did my presence chase him away? Or was it the news I broke to him that made him leave so suddenly?

It was when he fully left the class that I realized what he meant when he said I was endangering myself. His presence was my saving grace all this time, and the students seemed like they were praying he left, which he just did, giving them the chance they wanted.

My eyes drifted from the door where Lucian had just exited the classroom, and the little smile on my face disappeared instantly.

I walked forward, looking around for that one student who had made space for me just as their king had instructed, but not a single student was doing that, and anyone I moved close to would glare at me, eyes filled with envy.

“Someone should please make space for me” I pleaded under my breath, as I was getting really tired of standing. I don’t know if it was the pregnancy, but I was really getting dizzy standing for a long time, yet none of the students cared.

“We paid the full school fees, which include our right to a desk without having to share with anyone. She should find a tablet to sit on or go home, then return when her desk is madel” A girl with curly brown hair among the ones in the first row picked up

the courage and spoke up, and the whole class clamored in agreement and support.

“We can’t share cur desk with something like this, looking like a street beggarl” The one beside her with red hair shouted in addition while 1 stood there, feeling really pained hearing her call me a street beggar.

Twill report you all to King Lucian! How will you be disobeying your king?”

“I would rather die than allow you to have my seat, and if you think Lucian can save you, you must be a fool. Better sit on the floor, dirty thing!” The same girl in the front row spat.

“Stop insulting me! Stop it!” I shouted, feeling berserk at this point. It was becoming too much for me to bear, especially with how the whole class laughed and jeered at me.

No matter how bad and messy my life has become, I still have that Alpha blood flowing in my veins, and it was really crawling on my skin, sending some kind of pain to my chest. As a royal member-Alpha’s daughter-I wasn’t supposed to be going through all these.

“If I don’t stop, what will you do?” She retorted, and just then a fat girl from the back end of the class stood up with two other girls flanking her.

They walked towards me with that bossy look on their faces, their eyes squinting at me.

“Who do you think you are?” The fat girl spoke to me with authority and confidence, sneering at me like I was some kind of filthy animal

“My name is Selene, just as Lucian informed you all earlier. I… Whatever else I was about to say hung in my throat as a hot slap from the girl landed on my face, my face snapping to the right as I held my ch*ek, which was burning in pain.

“Who do you think you are for King Lucian to introduce you to us, specially, and how dare you call him just Lucian? Are you mad?” She fumed, and the other students cheered on her.

“Beat her up!” They kept urging.

“Answer me!” She yelled at me, her filthy spit splashing on my face and sending chills of disgust down my spine.

“Why did you slap me? What did I do to you?” I breathed, gritting my teeth in anger as my ch*eks hurt more. I was sure it must have turned red now.

“I will slap you again, and there is nothing you can do about that!” She said.

“Allow us to finish her up.” The girl at her right requested it with a smirk.

“I am going to report you all for bullying me!” I said, thinking it would at least stop them from going further. If only I knew there was nothing the authorities would do to help me out.

I didn’t know this school was more like survival of the fittest, where you have to train harder and learn to fight for yourself. The bully was all part of it and was sponsored by the Lycan King himself to force every student to take their training seriously.

I had no idea till I went to report my case to the proprietor.

“You will sit on the ground during the whole lesson session, understood?” The fat girl said to me that she was the one who

owned me.

“But King Lucian said…. Another slap from the girl at her right struck my check again, the same one, and this time a loud cry of pain escaped my l*ps, with my legs losing balance as I fell to the ground.

“Nobody debates with her, bit c h!” The girl slammed and kicked my back; the one at the left came forward and kicked me too, on my head.

“Anyone of you can take turns kicking her. This girl needs to be taught a serious lesson!” The fat girl said to the class as she swaggered back or her seat.

“Please don’t hit me. I will stay on the ground. I pleaded, but they had already started coming out. It was like a nightmare, unreal to my eyes, as I wondered why it was getting so bad for me in a place I thought would be my saving land.

The first kick came from the girl at the front, who I was sure had hated me so deeply at first sight; the other was her colleague, while others followed. I received up to five before a teacher came in to teach, so they left me there.

“What is going on here?” She had asked, feigning concern, and the fat girl stood and walked up to her, whispered some incoherent words to her, then returned to her seat.

That was all it took for the teacher to simply tell me to go over to the corner of the room so I wouldn’t block her path.

I tried to report to her and let her know I was being bullied, but she turned deaf and threatened to flog me if I didn’t do as she said immediately.

School came to the first break, which was when I asked my way to the proprietor office and got the last shock that left me numb and disheartened.

Realizing that I would have to face this maltreatment from my classmate until I became strong enough to fight back really left me scared to death because I don’t even have an inner wolf. This was the major setback.

I was just like a mere human, and that gave me no chance against even the ones in the beginner class.

All my time in the class during my first day was on the ground. I sat with legs raised to my chest and arms wrapped around. them, trying to grasp whatever was being thought, but ended up being totally confused.

The teachings were based on those who had shifted and could communicate with their inner wolves, having sharp senses, and all that.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

It was all strange and weird to me, and all I prayed for was the closing bell so I would run back home and cry out my heart.

I was feeling sorry for myself and, at the same time, hating the kind of useless being I was. Maybe my father was right all this time when he reminded me of the shameful person I was. Just maybe even my first mate was right to reject me brutally.

I was just that girl who was mistakenly brought to this world as a werewolf. I shouldn’t have been born, or should have rather been in the human world. Tears filled my eyes, and my heart was growing heavier as I fought back the urge to s o b.

The pain from their kicks and slaps was still hurting, but the pain in my heart crushes me more.

How would I become stronger? How long?
