Rejected by the Beta, Claimed by the Alpha

Chapter 25
Rowena left the pack house with Gracie as fast as she could. Being away, she had never taken a long journey on foot as she used to do eight years ago. She regretted not letting Jaxon to drop her off but she was equally afraid of what would become of her if she got rejected again.
Even as a lowly omega, she could not endure the shame so how could she endure it now that she was a world-renowned doctor? And why did the moon goddess keep pairing her with those of higher rank when she could have been paired with a lowly omega like herself?
Gracie was equally lost in thought, recalling how Charles had left upon seeing Rowena. She tried not to be afraid but it seemed like an impossible task. With both friends walking together with their minds alar, they were only privy to their environment upon hearing the familiar mocking voice,
“The rejected omega returns as a doctor.”
Rowena lifted her head, instantly shocked to see that they had been surrounded by at least twenty girls, all Clara’s friends. Pain swelled in her heart, combined with the memories from the past flooding in. Were they going to egg stone her again? Luckily, they were not holding eggs this time but she could easily make them out even after eight years.
Everyone had grown physically but some of them wanted to remain as children inwardly, thereby resulting to st upid child games like these.
“What do you want?” Rowena asked. She was no longer timid and even in her weak form, she was not intimidated.
Clara walked close to her and responded, “We want you to go back to where you came from. The Alpha can only marry me,” she said with a prideful
look”
Gracie’s teeth were grinding badly. How shameful could Clara be? She had Charles but still wanted Jason. Since bath Rowena and Clara wanted the same things, Rowena felt that for once, things would be better. It was painful for her to leave Jaxon but what could be more painful that a ruthless rejection? Putting her thoughts together, she said,
“Good news then. I will be leaving in just a few days and I wonder how you are still single after eight years when you claim to have every man at your beck and call” Rowena was certain that Jaxon was not interested in Clara by how he related to her during training, for which reason she was sure of her words.

Jaxon was very proud, which made her feel that he was being nice to her because of his father. Clara was badly hit by Rowena’s comeback at her. It was painful that Rowena had grown homs and even knew the buttons to press to make Clara upset but Clara was going to make sure that Rowena knew her place in this pack.
“I am not in a rush to get married but a few days is too much. Leave this pack now or we’ll set your mother’s house on fire with all of you inside it” she threatened, glad to see how Rowena paled and shivered all together. Whereas Rowena recalled that Jaxon only at in her home, which relaxed her mind. She asked softly,
“And you think you would go Scott free aher doing so?”
Clara folded her arms to her chest before responding, saying. “For as long as no long can prove or link it to me, yes, I will go Scott free.”
“Well, good luck in your pursuit of the Alpha and what happened to the beta?” Rowena asked mockingly. She never had a normal childhood and was never used to all these shamanisms. Clara realized how Rowena’s words were couched in a dignified way. It was the air of a learned and dignified woman which made her to feel small before Rowena but how could she accept it? Lifting her head proudly, she said,
“My destiny is to be Luna. Whoever becomes the Alpha must belong only to me,”
The understanding sank in and Rowena could not help the bitterness surging through her. Charles rejected her for a woman who only cared about the title and positions. She forced a smile and said, “Very interesting story Tell you friends to move out of the way”
“You did not think that we would just let you go like that right?” Clara had an evil smirk in the corner of her lips whiles she spoke. Rowena was confused and slightly afraid. Clara was evil and could do anything. She also had a crowd as friends who would do anything she commanded. Gracie might be there but the two of them would never be able to take down even one of the girls since they were far more advanced in training than they. Rowena shivered at the thought of what Clara had planned for her.
“What are you saying?” she asked, trying to put on a mask of lavery,
Clara’s gaze darkened whiles she let out, “I got punished because of you and you have to pay.”
Rowena froze andantly. How could she have known that Clara was going to get even for the punishment meted to her at the training arena lor challenging Jakon because of Rowena? Gracie on the other hand, had faith in Jaxon. “Then you will only get into a bigger trouble with the Alpha,” she said confidently, Clara’s gaze darkened.
Sh itting her gaze between Rowena and Grace, she could not tell who she leathed the more. They were both omegas and yet, they had the respect and doting of the Alpha. How disgusting? “Shut up! You punk! You think I don’t see the way you look at Charles? Don’t even think that you are free or ever
could be
“So, do you want Charles or Jaxon? Rowena asked, confused by Clara’s proclamation. A so smile appeared at the corner of Clara’s lips, as she imagined being the Luna beside Jaxon.
“Until I become Luna, both Jaxon and Charles would only be for me.”
Rowena nodded her head and pain shot through her chest but her face remained unreadable. As a doctor who also cheered her patients whether or not she was in a bad mood, this was nto difficult for her to do.
“Congratulations! Just let us through,” she requested but Clara blocked her path, glaring daggers at her,
Chapti1-25
“NO”
As soon as the word leh Clara’s mouth, her friends began inching closer to her in slow steps like zombies. Rowena felt like her end had come and even Gracie knew it was too late to text Jason or anything of the sort. The bitch got them where they could not escape.
Luckily, the sound of a car distracted them and turning around, they saw their Alpha’s car. Fear run through their veins and they began to take to their
