Rejected Little Secret by Lisj
Chapter 5

Chapter 5 

Every few years, the Alpha Ascencion takes place, where the reigning Alpha willingly steps aside to allow the next generation to take charge. 

There are two possible ways that it can happen. The first way, is when the Alpha title’s peacefully transferred through a straightforward ritual of passing over, creating a sense of continuity. The festivities typically span a full day. culminating in a magnificent feast that leaves everyone satisfied and content. The next way is a bit more conventional, as the title is only bestowed upon the predecessor if they triumph in a fierce duel with the Alpha. 

Our 

pack, known as the Thornholde Pack, takes the lead as the biggest among the six packs in the country. No matter the predecessor, our pack always hosts the Alpha Ascencion, fostering a strong sense of community and togetherness. Our home is always teeming with activity when the other five packs are invited. 

Sammy had a strong dislike for the event. Going outside wasn’t really her cup of tea, to be honest. The community events in our pack always bring her face to face with her True Mate and require her to watch as he spends time with his family, which she finds particularly challenging. Sammy can’t escape, she’s gotta show up, even if she really doesn’t want to. While the Alpha is generally understanding, he becomes exceedingly strict when it comes to attendance. 

I wasn’t surprised when Sammy woke me up with a slap on the pillow to the face, jolting me awake. Startled from my sleep. I clumsily untangle my legs from the twisted blanket on my bed. Baring my canines, I growl at her, but my aggression quickly fades when I see the look on her face. 

“Sammy?” 

“You smell weird, Maya.” 

Suddenly, a rush of embarrassment floods over me, making my cheeks turn red. 

The moment Axton knotted inside of me, an intense sensation of connection flooded my senses, prompting me to request that he bring me back home. Sneaking him inside, the both of us climbed through the window, careful not to make a sound so Sammy wouldn’t find out. He didn’t overstay his welcome in my room, simply biding his time until it was safe for us to separate. 

Immediately after, I took the pill, not wanting to take any chances, especially since he wasn’t my True Mate, 

I wracked my brain for a while, searching for the perfect answer that would finally quiet Sammy. I leaned back against the bed headrest, biting the inside of my cheek to hide my nervousness, while trying to appear nonchalant. 

“Made a little adjustment to my diet, might have affected my pheromones,” As 1 wave my hand in the air, I can’t help but notice the intensifying curiosity in Sammy’s expression. “I’m gonna shower, so the smell won’t stick around for long.” 

For a moment, Sammy didn’t say a word. Instead, she paused, her head tilting as she took in a whiff of the surrounding air. A flicker of darkness passes through her eyes, followed by a playful snicker. Crossing her arms against her chest, she leaned against the door frame, a mischievous smirk spreading across her cheeks. 

“Nah, Maya, don’t bother with a shower, just stay as you are,” Sammy suggested, her face still adorned with a mischievous smirk. It was really irritating me, but unfortunately, there was nothing I could do. “Hey, get. dressed. we’re gonna hit up the Town Square soon. Word on the street is they’ve got breakfast. Can you believe how they’re going all out on the Alpha Ascencion today? Your boyfriend is a spoiled little shit, huh?” 

A surge of annoyance caused my eyebrow to twitch, and I couldn’t help but notice Sammy’s smirk growing wider in amusement. She knows exactly what she’s doing, aiming to provoke a reaction from me. Well, I wasn’t really in the mood to have my spirits dampened, especially after having an amazing dicking yesterday. 

“He’s not my boyfriend anymore,” Standing up, I spat and paid no mind to the crumpled bedsheets. I can’t explain why, but I decide to take her advice and skip my usual shower. I’m totally aware that I stink like Axton, but there’s this

nagging feeling inside me, wanting everyone to know. “He just doesn’t know it yet.” 

“Daaaamn,” Whistling a low tune, Sammy approached me with a mischievous grin, jabbing me playfully in the stomach. I make a disapproving sound with my tongue, pushing her aside, but all it does is make her burst into laughter. “Shit, you still got that fire in you, bitch. Keep it, show everyone what you’re made of, especially today, got it?” 

After 

r Sammy leaves, I’m left in silence, the echoes of her footsteps fading away. Among the jumble of clothes, there is a mishmash of my own garments and some that belong to Zeke. Even though I am aware of the consequences of my actions, the mere sight of anything related to Zeke triggers a surge of anger within me. With a swift movement, I snatch his jacket from my drawer and shred it to pieces using my claws. 

Anger welled up inside me, and tears mixed with snot streamed down my face, prompting me to hastily wipe them away. Zeke doesn’t deserve any of it not the tears, not the heartache, not a second more of my time. 

Without much thought, I reached for a random shirt and hastily pulled on a pair of loose pants. Instead of showering. I choose to follow Sammy’s recommendation. I don’t even bother to run a brush through my hair, still feeling the lingering sensation of Axton’s fingers from last night. 

Stepping out of my room, my eyes are immediately drawn to the mirror hanging in the hallway. I lock eyes with my own reflection, giving myself a nod of approval. 

Today, Zeke is going to learn firsthand that there is no anger quite like that of a woman who has been betrayed,
