Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 1

Chapter 1: I accept your rejection

Amelie Conley had been called the curse of the Conley family ever since she failed to shift into her wolf upon turning sixteen.

From that moment onward, she became the target of relentless bullying in her pack.

But what hurt the most wasn't the taunts or ridicule—it was the way her own parents never truly saw her as their daughter. While her younger sister, Flora, was the pride of the family, Amelie was nothing more than a disgrace.

But none of that mattered since the day she found her mate at eighteen.

For the past four years, Alex Morgan had been her anchor, her solace in a world that never wanted her. At the moment, she was on her way to his house—not only to celebrate their anniversary but to share the most precious news of all. She was carrying his child.

That morning, when they spoke, Alex had told her he would see her in the evening, but she wanted to surprise him. The joy in her heart doubled when she found out she was pregnant, and she couldn't wait to see his reaction.

With excitement fluttering in her chest, she stepped into his house, climbing the stairs to his room. However, the moment she reached the entrance, her smile faltered.

A pair of red heels lay near the doorway.

Unease settled in her chest, a foreboding weight pressing down on her as she moved further inside. Then, she heard it—low, breathy moans coming from his bedroom.

Her stomach twisted in dread as she approached the slightly ajar door. With trembling hands, she pushed it open.

And in that instant, her entire world shattered.

"Harder, Alex! Go harder!" Flora's familiar voice gasped.

Amelie's breath caught in her throat as she took in the sight before her—Alex, her mate, tangled in bed with none other than her younger sister.

"You feel so good," Alex groaned, his hands gripping Flora's waist as he moved against her.

Flora let out a satisfied moan. "Tell me, does Amelie make you feel this way?" she asked breathlessly.

"Not even close," Alex replied without hesitation. "She doesn't even know what pleasure is."

A cruel chuckle left Flora's lips as she ran her nails down his back. "Then why are you still with her? You'll be the next Alpha soon—you need a strong she-wolf by your side."

At that moment, a loud thud echoed through the room.

Both Alex and Flora's heads snapped toward the doorway. Amelie stood there, her face pale, her eyes brimming with tears. The cake box she had been carrying had slipped from her hands, its contents now smeared across the floor.

Alex immediately pulled away from Flora, his expression darkening. Flora, however, remained unfazed as she lazily adjusted her clothes, a smirk tugging at her lips.

A painful silence stretched between them, and then Amelie finally found her voice.

"Why?" she whispered, her voice trembling before it rose into a furious yell. "Why did you do this?"

Her hands shook as she grabbed the nearest object—a vase—and hurled it at Alex. He dodged effortlessly, his golden eyes flashing with irritation.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" he bellowed.

Amelie turned her glare to Flora, her hands clenched into fists. "Did you not even feel an ounce of shame doing this to me?"

Flora only smirked, stepping beside Alex.

"Don't you dare speak to my mate like that," Alex snapped.

Amelie recoiled as if struck. His mate? Did she hear him correctly?

A bitter laugh bubbled in her throat as she pressed a trembling hand to her chest. "Your mate? I'm your mate, Alex! You marked me!"

But Alex merely stared at her, his silence confirming the worst.

Everything she had believed in, everything she had loved, had been a lie.

"Alex, we were supposed to get married next month. You even proposed to me." She held up the ring, her voice cracking this time. "Don't do this to me," she pleaded, desperate to cling to the last remnants of their bond.
