Rejected by My Alpha Now He Replaced Me with a Copycat Luna novel Chapter 110

Chapter 110

Raven’s POV

My heart hammered against my ribs. I had been preparing for this moment ever since I fled Shadowpine. I had trained for it, run through countless scenarios. But nothing could have prepared me for this.

What I had expected was a kidnapping or an all-out assault. But Michael Clyne was here, sitting in the bar as if he didn’t have a care in the world. As if he hadn’t murdered my mother or tortured me for years.

“You look surprised to see me, Jess.”

The use of my birth name made me flinch, a reminder of endless whippings, broken bones, and burns. But I didn’t let myself look away. If I gave Michael that kind of submission, it would mean letting him know he had won.

“You’re not welcome,” I said through gritted teeth, my fingers moving to my pocket to reach for my blade.

“I wouldn’t do that if I were you,” Michael said softly. “So many fragile humans around. You seem particularly fond of that elderly couple. Perhaps I’ll start with them. Tear open their jugulars before you can even pull whatever’s in your pocket.”

My mouth went dry and my fingers stilled. He would do it too. Michael had no regard for human or supernatural life. The only thing he cared

about was more. More money. More power. More beings subject to his will.

“That’s better,” Michael said, relaxing on his stool. “Good to see you’ve found some fight. It’ll be more fun breaking you again.”

My hands clenched into fists at my sides, my wolf snarling. My nails lengthened into claws, pricking my palms. I focused on the flash of pain, anything to keep me from shifting.

Michael was truly evil. The few times my empathic barriers had wavered around him, the ink-black of his soul had nearly drowned me. This

was the kind of evil that had no cure. The only answer was to extinguish it completely. But that wouldn’t be easy.

“What? No greeting for your old dad? No hug?” Michael taunted, his eyes glittering.

“The only embrace you’ll get is a blade between your ribs,” I snarled.

His brown eyes sparked gold. “You could try, little one. But you’d fail. Fail because you’re so goddamned weak. A stain on my name.”

I lifted my chin and still didn’t look away. “If you haven’t noticed, I don’t carry your name. I don’t want a damn thing to do with you.”

Michael’s jaw worked back and forth as a hint of his anger sparked in his expression. “You never showed me the proper respect, you little slut. You should be bowing to kiss my feet. Grateful I didn’t slice your throat the second I took you in. A bastard hybrid,” he spat.

Fury swept through me in hot waves. Michael had always hated that my mother was a caster. Never mind the fact that he was the one who’d slept with her. Apparently, other species were fine to warm his bed but not to bear his young.

Maybe it was his rage at not being able to have another child, He’d certainly tried. Almost every woman in Shadowpine had been forced to try to give him a true heir. They’d all failed,

I glared at the man in front of me. “It’s not my fault your sperm is weak. That it took the magic in my mother’s womb for a child to take hold.”

Michael bared his teeth at me, his canines lengthening, “You’ll pay for that, Pay in blood and flesh. Your child will be my heir. Gavin can’t wait.”

Bile surged up my throat, My father’s beta was possibly more twisted than him. His joy at inflicting pain was unparalleled, and at least half the scars on my body were thanks to him.

“No.” Even though my body trembled at the fear and memory taking hold, my voice didn’t shake.

Michael’s brown eyes went pure gold, the alpha assuming control. “What did you say to me?”

It was a word I’d never uttered in his presence before, and certainly not in response to the beast himself.

“No.” There was a finality in the single syllable. A defiance I’d needed to own for so long.

“You dare to defy me?” Michael’s voice made the silverware on the bar top rattle.

“I DON’T BELONG TO YOU.”

Anger hit me in brutal waves, the emotion raking across my shields in painful slashes. And then there was something more. Michael’s alpha power. It blazed out of him, nearly making my knees buckle.

“You will submit,” he growled.

I gripped the edge of the bar, trying to keep myself upright.

“You will come with me and do exactly as I say, or I will dismantle your life, piece by piece. I will slaughter every being who has given you a

kind word. And I’ll save the worst for those bastard wolves who gave you sanctuary.”

A whimper left my lips, and pain spiked through my skull-the price of trying to fight off Michael’s alpha authority. I felt a trickle of blood from my nose and knew I was losing.

“Submit,” he snarled.

Then, a new voice joined his. It was familiar but darker than I’d ever heard it before. “The hell she will.”
