The innocent reject
Chapter 3

Ch 3. We meet again

Aaron's pov

I was sitting in my office surrounded by papers when I heard my dad enter the office

"I have been nothing but patient with you son but now I need you to decide !"

He said with authority

"What are you talking about Dad?"

I said still doing my work paying little attention to what he was saying

"You know really well what I am talking about, it's been 3 long years and you still have no queen by your side!

People have started talking about it, doubting if they will ever have a queen,I gave you enough time to overcome what happened in the past but now it's high time!"

I was really tired,not in the mood to carry forward this talk,just why can't I rule without a queen !!

"Dad! you already know my answer,please just leave me alone!"

"No son not this time,so many women of high rank and status have proposed to you but you being you didn't even acknowledge them, I need you to forget about Aleka and find a suitable queen for you!" Aleka.. her name alone sends some weird thrills in my spine

I closed my eyes to see her beautiful face in front of me,her smooth black hair,her innocent eyes if only she was that innocent.

Appearances are truly deceptive, her appearance is the best epitome of that.

I have hated her for not protecting her sister, I have hated her for not shifting, I have hated her for being my mate and I will always hate her for killing my mother.

Still I couldn't find someone to replace her,I couldn't see someone else as the queen when she is my mate.

Aleka just why did you made my life so difficult

If only you didn't kill my mother I could have accepted you, to be honest after giving you a chance you proved your worth and I was ready to accept you but then I saw you covered in my mothers blood Just why did you do it Aleka,why!!

"Son your murderer mate Aleka is dead,she got what she deserved so stop thinking about her, I am sure you will find a much better girl than her just open your eyes and give them a chance" Dead.. Aleka ..no!! this thought only makes me mad,

she couldn't have died

I surely hated her but still I wanted to see her everyday,I wanted to see those beautiful eyes looking at me, I wanted to smell her peach blossom fragrance, I wanted to feel her smooth velvety skin. Everyone says the facts,they say no female wolf has ever survived being a rogue let alone a human

But I just couldn't and didn't want to admit it.

"Aaron you are not just an Alpha you are the King of werewolfs, you have some responsibilities towards your people, you have to find a suitable queen not for our pack or for yourself but for the entire kingdom!" I have no choice,dad is right,I have to do this for my people, I have to replace Aleka,I have to let her go

"Okay dad,just give me sometime!"

Dad hugged me and smiled

"I knew you would be a great king"

And he left

I rubbed my temples and closed my eyes

"Please Alpha trust me ...I didn't kill her...

Please believe me.....

I beg of you.....

I will die...ple..aa...se........

Save me.........."

I could still hear her cries in my ears, I could still see her pleading eyes overflowing with tears,

I could still see her devastated state

This memory has haunted me multiple times in these 5 years

I could still remember seeing her falling near my feet on getting rejected,I still remember that cold look on her face, I still remember guards dragging away her body which looked lifeless and that was the last time I saw her.

"Aaron Angela is nowhere to be found!!please do something !!I think she crossed the border!!"

Daniel said through mindlink

Never have I ever heard him so worried but then again no one was as special as his 4 years old daughter Angela

"Dan calm down! We'll find her!"

With that I mind linked all my warriors to search for her

I called all the neighbouring Alphas to inform them about Angela

She would be safe if sh went there but I cannot say the same for my southernmost territory

It was no man's land and was mostly inhabited by rogues, there was no one to protect her there so me and Dan gathered our warriors and headed towards the south. Aleka's pov

I freshened myself up near the stream,placed my silver knifes on the sides of my boots,pulled over my black hoodie over my face and placed my bow and arrows on my back Ready for my journey

I had only covered a few metres when I heard a child crying and some people laughing near her

I continued my journey ignoring her cries but after a few steps something was pricking my conscience.

I knew what it was

My heart wanted to help her but my brain stated otherwise.

I turned around thinking that i'll help her quickly and return back to my journey.

When I went near the voices I saw a beautiful little girl with large green eyes crying and 3 rogues surrounded her

"Poor baby is crying!didn't your mother tell you not to go to the forest alone!"

One of them said mocking her crying state

The other one went towards her and held her beautiful golden locks in his hand and started sniffing them

"Hmm delicious!guys we are going to have a fest today!!"

She took a step back

Her foot got stuck in a rock and she fell back bruising her elbow

They again started laughing at her helpless state.

I stepped forward and picked her tiny body up from her arm with my left hand.

"You know scaring a child is not an act of bravery but that of cowardliness"

Their laughter died and all 3 of them were now staring at me.

"Give back the child and we'll spare your life tiny rogue

"

The girl clinged to my leg and hid herself behind me, she hugged to my leg like her life was dependent on it

Which was true in this scenario

"I think you can find something else for your feast, she is not going anywhere near you"

"Do you have a death wish rogue, there is no chance of you winning against us 3"

I unlocked the girl's hands from my leg and gave her a slight push backwards with my left hand.

I didn't wanted to get her hurt

"Try me!"

I said with serious look

And two of them jumped at me

I was fast to dodge the attack of one and plunge my knife into the other one's chest.

He fell on the ground growling in pain.

Another tried to escape but I pulled out my arrow and aimed at his back hitting him.

Now only one was left

Suddenly he jumped on my back and was ready to slash my throat with his claws when I pushed back with full force hitting his body at the tree behind and stabbing my knife in his heart. He howled loudly

I knew from experience that this was not just a howl of pain but also a howl of calling

And that's when I knew this was just the starting.00
