Chapter 24

Book:The Grateful Rejection Published:2024-6-2

“We ARE alone” he said and crossed his arms in don’t of his chest, his muscles bulged showing just how bulky those thick ropes of muscles are, “We’d have sex later, first tell me what’s going on?” He said half teasingly half seriously. I blushed and looked away, “Not here, it my work place.. we should go somewhere intimate.. where we can talk..” I said pursing my lips.
I pulled out a bottle of wine and made myself outside the wine cellar in the basement to ground floor, where Sebastian had set two glasses on the table. I smiled softly at him and plopped myself beside him. He wrapped a blanket around us after pulling me on his lap, I chuckled mentally. He always wants the most skin contact with me.
“So are you gonna say anything?” Sebastian asked raising a brow at me. I took a long deep breath and explained to him all the things that happened to me in the past, every last bit. To say he was fuming with hate and disgust would be an understatement. He would growl Everytime I mentioned how Justin used to rape me or beat me blue and black,, and neither my ‘parents’ or my ‘siblings’ didn’t do anything to prevent it. Then I proceeded to tell him about everything that the Brukes treated me and patted Justin’s back for every scar, broken bone or bruise he used to leave. His hold on me tightened every second. I honestly thought it would hurt.. to tell him all those things and it did but the pain was dull. I have suffered too much for too long, very young. I need to let the painful memories go. 1
“The pack were equally bad, if not more. Because Justin was the beta and hadn’t ‘claimed’ me spiritually so they could do anything they wanted to but they were smart not to put their dicks in my vagina…. I remember once when I was cleaning the gym, a bunch of my bullies and assaulters came in. They tossed and turned me… Throwing me around, kicking me.. this guy threw a kettlebell on my foot with such a force that my foot broke into three pieces. They tied me up and forced themselves in my mouth and when I retaliated by biting it, they puched my jaw and threw me in a punching bag…. They invited everyone to beat me. I remember feeling different objects hitting me, from rods to weights to knifes,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I was in the hospital unattended for almost three days. I had to get up on my own and do my bandages that the nurse threw at me.” I gulped looking up at the ceiling.
There was a dull silence after that, both of us lost in our own world, “How did you escape?” He asked me. I looked down to our intertwined hands, “Tyler, that guy from the restaurant.. he.. was my ex mate.. he was already mated when I met him..” I sigh shaking my head then I start to tell him about everything that went down during Janine’s wedding. My heart contracted with pain but no tears left my eyes, “Mom showed me months after I was rescued. I had been begging her to know what had happened, I didn’t remember anything but the insufferable pain that I felt all over my body from them raping me…” I said softly looking outside the window, “I died from all the pain.. Alice.. my ‘brother’s’ mate flung me off the cliff..” I said, finally a tear rolled down my cheek.
“That day I wasn’t the only one who died.. I was pregnant.. when Janine stabbed her heels in my stomach, my child died.” I said as more tears rolled down my eyes, “Even though it was conceived by the wrong means, it was still MY baby. Just an innocent little baby… Who had no idea of the wicked worldly games.. she was just a little baby” I sobbed, I felt his arms around me rubbing my back. I put my face in the crock of his neck and sobbed, “I asked Arora to show me my baby, she could see a little angel flying over me since I was resurrected. She was so beautiful, Sebastian. She was a pure carbon copy of me, she had their bright blue eyes with beautiful brown hair and the most beautiful smile… I never got to hold her, Sebastian.” I sobbed loudly on my Erastis’ shoulder.
I could feel something fluttering above us, I didn’t need to have Arora to know who it was. Her presence was enough for me to know, it was my babygirl.
Sebastian rocked me untill I wasn’t crying anymore. I pulled away from him a little bit to look at his face, his eye were red and cheeks were tainted from his tears. I am sure I didn’t look any different,, maybe worst, “You’re such a strong woman, Nora. If it were any other woman, they would have been crumbled to ground but you build yourself to be so independent and powerful. It’s absolutely remarkable, most people would have gone down the wrong road but you didn’t.. you took the high road.. Your daughter would be proud of you, my love. She is proud of you” Sebastian said cupping my face. I looked at him vulnerably, “She is proud of me?” I asked meekly.
He nodded his head vigorously, “She is so proud of her mumma” he said softly and kissed my forehead. I wrapped my arms around his neck and hugged him to my dear life, he is my life. I tilted my head to look up, through I couldn’t see her, I could feel her, ‘I love you babygirl’ I mouthed and pulled Sebastian closer to me.
“I didn’t know it was possible for me to love you even more. You’re such a powerful woman, love” he said and kissed my forehead. I smiled sadly at him, “I was afraid that you’d leave me after knowing everything..” I said softly burying my face in his chest. We were lying on the couch facing each other wrapped securely in the warmth of the blanket. He put his hands on my chin and lifted my face, he looked shocked and hurt at the same time, “I love you, Nora. I love you regardless of the entire world. I chose to love you, my lycan chose to love you and we don’t regret a single thing. If you already had a dozen of kids I wouldn’t have any problem with it, I would accepted them as mine and have loved to nurture OUR kids together. Na matter what has happened to you in the past, it didn’t reduce my love for you by even a notch. It only managed to increase my respect for you” he said in all honesty. I smiled at him and pecked his lips softly, “I love you, puppy” I say softly to which he give me his trillion dollars smile, “I love you more, moya malen’kaya al’fa” he said and kissed me.
I giggled as he left wet sloppy kisses all over my face, he pulled back with the most beautiful look on his face, nothing but pure love and adoration on his face, “You’re the best thing that has happened to me, moya lyubov’ ” (my love)
I smiled back at her and cuddled closer to my love. We shared our affection in that 15 minutes of peace in each other arms. I still felt a little guilty for not telling him everything, would he hate me for what I did? Would he still want to be with me? I am not exactly not proud of what I did but I had no control over myself.
“What I don’t understand is why would any family treat a member of their family like this?” He asked, I pursed my lips contemplating whether or not should I tell him. He is ought to find out anyway so why not from me.
“Because they are not my family” I tell him looking at at his face, “Well not exactly..” I add confusing my Erastis more.
“I don’t get it” he said in confusion his browns drawn together and his nose scrunched up. I chuckled at his cuteness and kissed his nose, “Do you know alpha Amell?” I asked tilting my face.
“Yeah, I know him. He is the alpha of Blueblood pack the strongest werewolf pack in the world, people call him the rouge king. That one right?” He asks me. I narrow my eyes, “Yup that one.. but that’s not all that made him this powerful. His family was burnt down in a building fire and at his his uncle took away his title making him a rogue at a tender age of 10. When he was 19 he returned to claim back his pack which he did by killing his uncle and the uncle’s family. But unfortunately, he met his mate who was at that moment was in a compromising position with his uncle, he was enraged to say the least and killed her as well. From there on he became the ruthless alpha, nothing came before his pack. But unfortunately he fell in love again with the wrong woman from his rival’s pack.. they both eloped and came back to his pack and had two babies back to back..” I say drawing various shapes on his chest.
“A battle had broke between the two pack while she was pregnant with her third baby. The rival pack found the woman and took her back. She saw that her lover’s pack was losing so she lied that alpha Amell had kidnapped her. She was the queen of the pack after the Luna so they believed her. Alpha Amell was heart broken, he couldn’t believe that the woman he loved with all of his heart would betray him like that. From there on he began training his pack and his two sons ruthlessly, he would take in strong rogues in his pack and would train everyone. Even a 14 year old of that pack could single handled take down the top warriors of other packs” I said feeling pride bubble on my chest. 1
“What does all of it has to do with you?” He asked me, I didn’t know how to respond. I just looked up in his enchanting eyes, “Alpha Amell is my biological father” I tell him, his eyes went a little wide, “Well I did smell alpha blood on you..” he said1
“How did you meet him?” He asked, this is what I dreaded. I closed my eyes shut and took calming breath to compose my raving heart, “The night when I was resurrected, something else back with me….” I gulped in fear, “I had changed, something dark came back with me. Whenever someone is resurrected something evil comes with them, and something came back with me as well…” I said stuttering the next few lines.
“I am poisoning, my claws had poison in them. My eyes were different, nothing like ever seen before, it’s was stark white. My dark side had taken full control over me. I used to go on rampage, hunting the predators. That how I came across the pack territory, alpha Amell had tacked me down but my wolf refused to use her poisonous claw on him In a second he was off me. He looked at me shocked, his wolf had recognized me as his blood. I shifted back too, he took me back to hai pack house where I met my elder brothers, Oliver and Clark. Months after meeting them, I told them everything. Dad was finally happily mated to a nice woman who had two more kids. She was happy to have me and accepted me as her daughter. I too did accept them as my family but my bond with the Huntsons was too deep and too strong, I didn’t.. couldn’t leave them. So I stayed with them.. I finally had two families. Two loving father, two loving mother’s, three sisters and six loving brothers. It’s a huge family but I love my family..” I trailed off with a smile on my face.
“Mom casted a spell on me and now I have full control over my dark side” I finish looking up at him. I thought I would see a judgement face but instead I was greated with a smiling face, “You got everything you ever deserved… That’s why you should always be— WAIT…. does that mean I have to meet face two father and six brothers?” He said the last part almost terrified, I threw my head snack and let out a laugh, “You’ll do just fine” I say and kiss his lips.
“Is there something more I should know?” He asks, I grimace, “You know I can read your mind.. what are you hiding? I promise I wouldn’t judge you..” he tailed off looking deeply in my eyes, “My love for you will never truncate” he ensured me. I sighed, “When told my brother and father, they were enraged. Fuming as to how they could have treated me like that, my brothers anyway hated that bitch of a mother and now we had a reason to tear everyone apart. I lead the Blueblood pack and rogues to attack the TealRiver, I tore apart ever last person my sight would land upon, regardless of their gender or age. I was driven by the throat of their blood. That’s when I saw Gilbert, Janine’s husband, the Alpha of TealRiver, my rapist, my murderer. And something pure evil took over me, I knew killing him would be easy and I didn’t want that for him. Or anyone for a matter of fact. I played with him, tore him limb to limb untill he was nothing but a helpless shit. My wolf released a venom, a dangerous one. I clawed him from chest to toe, paralyzing him from neck down.. I tore apart the pack, killed half of them and left the other half to be tortured by the rouges and the Blueblood…” I said my jaws clenching together when I remembered the innocent rouges telling me how they too were either raped or saw their loved one’s being raped or murdered by the TealRiver.
“The cry of agony and pain are still like music to my ears. I love the look of fear in their faces, seeing them so helpless. I enjoyed every last bit of it… I had swore to torture the other half as well but mom saw how much evil had possessed me, she casted a spell on me to have the evil side under bay untill I took full control over it and I did.. after years. I wanted to finish what I started.. but then I realised how much power I am still letting those rapist have over my life. Even after being separated from them I still held on. For me to have a better future I had to let it go and I did. Them you came, the light to my dark world and then I realised how right was my decision.. it was right for me to let go of the past pain just so that I could sigh in relief and live a happy life in the future” I tell him caressing his cheeks. His eyes shined with pride, “You’re stronger than I imagined… I was so proud to call a woman like you mine” he said and kissed me passionately.
It’s true that some wouldn’t agree with what I did but I didn’t care. As I said, if it were for the past I would be the woman I am today. And I am proud to be who I am.
