Rejected by the Beta, Claimed by the Alpha

Chapter 2

A familiar voice met Rowena’s ears at the entrance of the park house. “Beta’s mate! How romantic,” Clara sneered. Her expression showed mockery. Rowena stiffened and her fingers dug into her palm. Clara has always hated her for no reason but this awed Rowena due to the fact that Clara knew she had been rejected already so why sight her friends against Rowena? Clara’s many friends were all present. They were nothing less than twenty of them, each one of them holding a white egg-

Rowena’s eyes watered. She knew what they were going to do and she could not stomach it. Whereas as an omega, she dared not utter a word. This kind of punishment was given to She -wolves who committed crimes such as adultery or theft. Once they were done with you and anyone saw you, they would instantly know without asking that you committed either of the crimes. Most of the people who endured it, either fled from pack or committed suicide. Life as an omega was not easy and this was even worse. The girls chorused together,

“Shameless Rowena!”

Clara was not done with her, asking, “so did you think that Beta Charles would break up with me and date you? Hahahaha, Rowena. You should not have been born. The moon goddess knew how senseless you were, for which reason she gave you a shameful birth. After today, you will know your place and never come close to Beta Charles again.”

Rowena knew her place as an Omega so she dared not utter a word and did not try to fight back. With her head lowered, she tried to walk away when Clara grabbed her by the arm. She snarled, “where do you think you are going? We are not done with you.” She winked at the girls and uncooked eggs began to rain down on Rowena’s head, she shielded herself with her arms but it was surprisingly painful.

Over hundreds of eggs were smashed nonstop on her head, she was covered with the slime of the egg white and yolks, and smelled badly since some of the eggs were rotten. Measuring the distance from the packhouse to her small house, Rowena knew she was done for and all she did was shed tears whiles the girls heartlessly continued smashing her with the eggs at every chance, she had to be careful to not swallow some and the smell was terribly repulsive.

“What is going on here?” Alpha Clinton’s angry voice resounded. In a blink, all the girls including Clara run away but he had seen most of them including Clara. His anger boiled at them but his heart sank at the sight of Rowena and what they had. done to her. Guilt sat heavily on his heart and he could not allow it to get worse but before he could say Jack, Rowena took to her heels, falling and rising from the slime of fresh eggs together with their shells on the floor which she kept stepping on till she was far from him. Rowena did not look back and would pick herself up when she fell, even when other pack. members laughed at her. This shame was worse than the rejection she faced since no one saw it.

Alpha Clinton watched her in both shock and remorse, unable to take a step. For 5 minutes, he was rooted at the same spot, as he tried to understand exactly what just happened in front of his pack house.

“Dad, let’s go inside. I will get someone to clean up,” Beta Charles said, unremorseful of what his girlfriend had dad to the poor Rowena. From the moment he felt that bond with her, he began to despise her. Even as the bond was broken, he still could not get over the fact that the moon goddess had heartlessly paired him with a low omega like Rowena. If he had his way, he would drive her out of this pack to a place where no one would ever associate with her.

Alpha Clinton was sweating hard. He dared no reveal the secret or else, everything would be ruined but how could he watch this happen? His heart was squeezing tightly inside his chest and ribcage.
