Alpha’s Rue: His Shunned Luna (Athena Enchanted) novel Chapter 6

I shriek in fear, my eyes widening when I see him. He’s here, King is in my house, and I’m still in Mooncrest. Fuck. Double fuckity fuck!

“Hello, Mate.” He smirks.

“Ma’am,” Lisa clears her throat. “Alpha Kingston is here.” She says.

Like damn right he is. My chest is still heaving from being startled. “I can see that,” I sigh. Lisa gives me an awkward smile before she leaves the room. I’m left with a glowering Kingston. “What are you doing here?”

“A little bird told me you’re leaving and I thought I should swing by and say goodbye,” he deapans. “We are mates after all.”

Mates? I scoff, “You rejected me.”

King shrugs, “Changed my mind.”

“Changed your mind?” I frown, “What the hell is that supposed to mean? You almost broke my wrist last night and—”

“Stop playing the victim,” he sneers. “That character is old don’t you agree? And besides, I’m not falling for it, I know who you are.”

“Who I am is someone leaving,” I feign a smile. “You will never hear from me again, so goodbye, is that satisfactory? Or would you like for me to kiss your ring as I leave your lordship?”

He doesn’t speak, he glares again. I try to leave but his hand wraps around my wrist, and he hauls me back. “You are not going anywhere, Mate. You’re staying right here, and we are getting married.”

“Have you lost your mind?” I snap, trying to wiggle free from his grip. “Why would I marry you? You changed your mind, and you have a girlfriend. Marry her instead.”

“I would want nothing more than to marry her, it's easy.” He grumbles under his breath, “But if I’m to become Alpha in this lifetime, then I have to marry you. My father is set on the idea for some reason, and it’s a small sacrifice to make for the good of the pack.”

Sacrifice.

Marry you. He says it like it’s some slur, like he is doing me a favour by taking back his rejection. “I don’t owe you or this pack anything, King. And you’re not going to stop me from leaving. You have no claim on me.”

“Do I not?” his head tilts.
