Chasing The Rejected

I was used to it. Being teased and scorned was something that wasn’t new to me. Back at Liam’s pack, the only one who had cared for me was Aunt Amelia, Liam and his father who had taken me in and treated me like his daughter.

The rest of them saw me as trash and I learnt how to let it not bother me the hard way.

“Sit dear, the food will get cold” Damon’s ever so loving mother uttered with a kind smille and I smiled back at her. Even though I had just

met his parents, they seemed nice so what happened to Damon?

The Alpha King was seated at the head of the table so Damon sat down next to him while I sat down beside him.

“Next time you speak to my wife in that manner, you will be skinned alive and fed to the rogues. I do not tolerate disrespect and won’t take it from the likes of you” Damon uttered as soon as he sat down and I turned to him with wide eyes.

I hadn’t expected him to defend me, especially against a family member.

“She…”

“Apologize now” Damon uttered with so much authority that I sucked in my breath. I noticed everyone at the table seemed to be afraid of him including his own parents.

“I’m sorry” She muttered through clenched teeth and even though it was clear it wasn’t sincere, I didn’t want to push the matter further so I just smiled.

Everyone was quiet for a while till Damon’s mother cleared her throat.

“How about the maids serve our food and in the meantime, we introduce ourselves?” His mother uttered and everyone else nodded in

I briefly glanced at Damon and he had a bored look on his face. He looked like he’d rather be anywhere else but here.
