The Alpha’s Rejected Daughter by Humble Smith

Fear engulfed me, with my legs trembling as I swallowed the lump in my throat and looked down to the ground.

Was this why they were staring at me weirdly, even the instructor? Nina was totally right, and if I don’t find out what to do to cover up in the next few minutes, I will be suspected instantly.

The trainkig was really hectic and took a lot of energy. My hands and legs are all sweaty, and even the shirt I was wearing was wet with sweat, so there was no other reason to explain why I want sweat on my face, which should be the first place.

“I will faint beside you and quickly attend to me. I will use that to distract everyone.” I hear Nina whisper beside me, and before I can really understand what she is saying, she slumps, and there is an uproar with chaos as everyone shouts in shock to see her fall heavily on the ground.

I was also stunned and speechless, seeing that she actually fell flat, hitting her head on the ground, and didn’t even flinch. I was the only one who knew she hadn’t really fainted, but I did that to pull their attention away from me.

Just as she told me. I rushed at her to attend to her, carried her in my arms, and was led to the hospital. The security ment helped me till I got to the clinic, and she was laid on the bed with doctors gathering around.

“You should leave now. We will attend to her.” One of the doctors told me that as he saw me, I was still standing in the ward, looking at her.

“Can’t I stay here and…

They grimaced in confusion. “What do you mean? Are you a doctor? Meanwhile, she isn’t even your sister, and you are still new here.” I was retorted at as they gave me a suspicion look.

“I am perfectly fine!” The voice of Nina sounded from the bed where she lay as she sat up immediately.

“What? You were faking it? Why? I will have to report.

“Don’t you dare? It won’t take me anything to make you all lose your job, and I will make sure I punish even your family!” Nina threatened, looking them dead in the eyes.

“Did you do that to leave the class? You will be in trouble if they find out.

“They won’t find out unless you report me, so if they find out anyway, I will know one of you snitched. I swear you won’t like what I do. I hope you still know who my father is.” She seethed and walked over to me. She smiled and took my hand gently.

“We will stay here for now.” She said it in a low, calm voice.

“You can stay, but I obviously can’t. I am not the one who fainted. They will be suspicious about me not returning to class.” I whispered, and she shrugged, taking a deep breath.

“If they find out you’re my boyfriend, they won’t be wondering why you stayed back with me, so we have to make them believe that.” She whispered back, then turned to the three doctors.

“Y’all, act like you just attended to me, and I need like an hour of rest. Also inform them that my boyfriend will be staying beside me till I wake.” They all nodded and walked away without saying another word.

“Who is your father that they were really forced to obey you?” I asked out of curiosity. “Who is your father that they were r

“Lock the door first.” She rolled her eyes playfully as she sat back on the bed. I obeyed and locked the door, and they walked

back to her.

“My father is the co-owner of the hospital. But that’s not why we are here, so we aren’t talking about that. What are you hiding?” She asked in a more seripus tone, her eyes piercing deep into mine.

“Nothing much though, but thank you for saving me from a lot of issues that I wo even know how to solve. I didn’t think of that. Something as important as that was what I ignored. That’s careless of me.” I hissed, running my fingers through my

hair.

“What are you hiding? Show me your real face.” She blurted, standing to her feet with her hands folded against her chest, “You shouldn’t be hiding anything from me if you need my help. I am the only one that can keep your secret with you and help you not get caught.”

“I am not a werewolf, so you won’t know me. I am hiding my face from Luna and not anyone else.” I breathed, and she frowned.

“The Luna? Are you in any way connected to Selene? Or Lucian?” She asked with her eyes widening.

“Lucian. I am Stan, his personal guard and brother to a girl named Ria who is staying with Luna. I don’t know if you have heard of her or seen her. Do you know of any girl staying with Luna that has that name?” I asked with so much curiosity, impatience eating deep inside me as I prayed and hoped she would give me a positive answer.

I badly need to know how my sister is faring since we separated.

“I don’t know anyone with that name, and besides, the royal pack is now like a coven that mere pack members hardly enter. The Luna and Alpha are dreaded. Even if your sister is fine or in trouble, no one staying outside will know.” She explained, her eyes dimming as she saw the sadness in my eyes.

“Do you have any idea how I can get work or anything inside that place? I really have to know how my sister is faring. I am totally restless and filled with anxiety. Please help me.” I kept begging, holding her hands desperately.

She kept quiet, silent, and looking into my eyes, then down to our hands that were locked together.

“I took a lot of risk for us to end up here. To bring you out of the prying eyes, trying to find out what you truly are. If I hadn’t pulled up that commotion, by now I am very sure you would be in the palace facing prosecution. They might be whipping you mercilessly and…”

“Kill me. She will kill me instantly, without a second’s chance for me to speak. If she sees my real face, she will slay me instant. I am wanted on her list.” I cut her in, and her eyes widened.

“What did you do to her? How did you become such a great enemy to an evil woman like that?” She asked, her brows arched together.

“Can I trust you? My life is on the line, and I am trying as much as possible to be very careful. I don’t care about dying, actually, but I am scared of dying without releasing my sister from that bondage.” I sighed, looking down to the ground,ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“You can trust me. Stan, I don’t know if you really know how much I love you. I really love you, and it all started from the very first day I saw you, and at this time, I am ready to go any distance for you and with you. My heart is beating for you, and every single second I stand and talk with you, I feel complete and satisfied. We will scale through this together.” She smiled widely, and her palms went to my cheeks.

“If you stay close to me, your life will be in danger. I can feel that my stay in this pack won’t be smooth, honestly. I will have to face a lot, and with you beside me, it might just put you in danger.

Nina’s POV

A little smile crept up my lips as I chuckled quietly at what he just said. His handsome face was just like a sun shining into the dark-a cool breeze that sends warmth to my soul.

The way his lips moved and his sweet, deep voice were just so awesome, and they were driving me crazy. I was falling deeper in love, his grasp on my palm making the feel secure.

This was literally the best feeling in my life. The actual sweetest moment of my life. Love had really caught hold of me the least time I expected it. I never knew any man would make my heart melt, and over the years I had gotten a lot of men around me seeking my attention, trying all they could to get me to fall for them, but it was all seeming impossible.

At some point, I thought I had lost that ability to fall in love, but not until this man appeared. Everything about him was taking over my mind, and the pain I felt at his initial rejection was unbearable, so deep and unimaginable. It wasn’t what I expected it to be, even though I knew it should hurt.

I am in love with him.

This was something I knew with no doubt, and that is that I would do everything possible to make him happy. To show him how much I love him.

He just talked about endangering my life if I was close to him. He really has no idea how much I love him. Does he even

I want him to love me. I want us to become couples. He should take my heart, because it’s his. No one else has it.

“Stan, I want you to know that I am here, and I am not leaving any time, not for a single second. We will fight your battle together and win it all. Your sister will be rescued and get back to safety. We will do everything possible. Trust me, because I will die seeing you in any kind of pain. I love you.”

The words were rolling from my heart to my mouth, looking into his deep hazel eyes as they gazed back at me.

He let out a smile, slowly put his hands beneath his neck region, and carefully pulled out the skin mask.

A sharp gasp slipped my lips as I saw his true face. My mouth went agape, and my eyes widened in admiration.

I thought he was handsome with the mask, but it is not compared to what he looks like naturally.

“You are the only one who has seen my real face here. I have begun to trust you, Nina.” He cooed, and I could swear my stomach was filled with butterflies.
