Chapter 28

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

Dad gave me a knowing look and nodded. After a while Dad chuckled, “Tell that father of yours to make something to take down your Erastis if we don’t like him” he joked making me give him a poker face, “Haha very funny!” I said and shook my head.
“Oh which reminds me, I have to be somewhere.. I’ll see you tomorrow at my restaurant sharp at 8.. don’t be late” I yelled running away towards the forest. I opened my pants which has the picture my younger siblings drew.
.
I pushed down the lock so hard that the handle fell on my hand. I shrugged it off and creeped inside the house I could hear the television in the living room and the two people talking there. Other than that there was no one in the house I put the handle on the island and slowly made my way to the living room. My lycan has managed to hide my scent and being a lycan made it possible for me to be extra stealthy so they were oblivious to my presence.
The two of them had their back facing me as they were intently looking at the TV screen, she had her head laid on his shoulders and his head against hers. I stood there breathing steadily, there was a time I used to hate them but now I feel nothing more than pity for them.
I heard a big gasp from Janine as she looked at the dark side of the screen where half my face was visible. He snapped her head towards me, her eyes were wide with stagger, “Nora” she whispered in astonishment. My face instantly became hard as the a memory suddenly hit my face. 1
Gilbert turned his face to look at me but being paralyzed didn’t work in his favor, “Is that really you Nora?” Janine asked softly in disbelief getting up from the sofa. I rolled my eyes, “No it’s the chick from the exorcist” I rolled my eyes, “What else do you think?” I said harshly to which she flinched, “Well I am kind of dead.. but came back to life.. which is no different” I taunted as I walked in front of them in my might glory.
“Sit! We need to talk” I told her as I sat down on the single couch myself. Gilbert took one quick glance at me then put his head down not meeting my eyes. I looked at his behavior in amusement, “what’s wrong Gilbert? Why can’t you meet my eyes? You certainly didn’t act like this when you raped me? Huh? What changed?” I asked in a calmly yet menace was evident in my tone. He flinched as his breathing started getting faster and deeper, “Where did that alpha rapist go? Hmm that wheelchair and lack of movement answers that!” I spat liking how his tears silently fell from his eyes, my eyes shifted to Janine who sobbing biting her lips not meeting my eyes.. ahh mates alike.
“Oh come on don’t show me that crocodile tears! You both enjoyed raping and murdering me… If it weren’t for the.. situation… You’re in now, you’d both boast about it” I said rubbing salt in their wounds. My attention turned to Janine who started sobbing loudly, “Aww poor Barbie.. what has happened to you? How did your plastic figure turn into a real figure? Justin did a really good job!” I sneered at her, “How did it feel Janine? To be in my shoes? To be molested and abused every second of the day? To have everything yet nothing.. they very people that worshipped you were the very reason for you destruction? How did it feel Gilbert? To have the very people who called you your best friend to molest your mate in front of your eyes and not having any power to stop it? Tell me?? Did you enjoy being raped as much as you enjoyed watched me being raped and murdered??” I said sinisterly.
Gilbert shook his head, “I am sorry Nora!! I am–”
“Your sorry is not enough for the pain you caused me. Being an alpha is not only about having power, being alpha means having the courage to take responsibility for the people, of your pack. And you miserably failed in that!” I snapped at him
“I know, I know! I am nothing but a failure! I have done things worst than imagined. And I am deeply sorry for that. I know my sorry won’t do shit to you! But please! Please give me a chance to redeem myself. I cannot sleep at night thinking how much pain I caused you, how you begged me to stop and I didn’t do anything!! Just give me a chance” he cried hysterically. I ignored him and turned my attention to Janine, “Tell me Barbie, how did giving birth go?” I asked her shocked and pained expression showed that I hit the bullseye.
“Oh come on, just because I was away didn’t mean I didn’t know what was going on! I had my eyes on all of you..” I said smirking looking at the baffled expression, “Do you know why you were never able to conceive, Janine? Ever asked yourself to why did the goddess punish you for something that once you never wanted to have?” I asked plopping my face on my palm looking at her intently. Her eyes shined with confusion, a minute went by in silence as she was busy thinking, “Don’t sweat it! Your pea size brain can’t decipher that” I said chuckling. I laid back on the couch, “You see.. when you very graceful stabbed your heels in my stomach.. I was carrying a baby….” I said venomously looking at the two who gasped in horror.
“Ehh so that night I wasn’t the only one murdered, YOU killed an innocent baby as well regardless of how it was conceive. It was still an innocent baby…” I spat at them. Janine fell down on her knees crying, clutching her chest, “I am so sorry, I am so sorry Nora!! I am a monster! I deserved it, I deserved it all!!” She sobbed loudly.
“Give us any punishment you seek fit for your mistakes, Nora! Our lives is in your hand now! Please!! Just let us redeem ourselves!” Gilbert cried. I stood up looking at the once perfect couple, “I have already punished you. I am not here to further your misery” I said coldly. The couple looked to be confused, “You punished us?” Gilbert asked befuddlement.
I smirked at him, clutching my my heart faking hurt, “Oh come on! You don’t remember me?” I pouted. He furrowed his brows I smiled evilly, “I left my mark on you.. yet you forgot?” I said and walked threateningly to him, I bend down to his level.
“Right here” I said tracing the claw mark where I released my venom that made him crippled. His breathing became rigged as he looked up to me, I flashed the void eyes of my lycan. He let out a bone chilling scream, “IT WAS YOU! IT WAS YOU!!” he cried screaming. I motioned Janine to help him stabilize, she ran back to him and rubbed her palm on his chest trying to calm him down.
“Yes Gilbert it was me. It was all me. I am the reason for all of your catastrophy and calamity. I am the very reason why the big bad alpha is now crippled, depending on people to even whip his shit!” I spat at him. I didn’t look at them and took few calming breaths trying to remind myself why I am really here. 1
“Th-the witch said he was punished by the goddess” Janine asked making me shrug, “Eh well indirectly she is the one who punished you by giving me the power to do so..” I said nonchalantly. My face went hard again, “As I said I have punished you enough. You all learnt your lesson, now it’s time to show that you’ve really changed. You time with that wheelchair is over, Gilbert. I am giving you back you abilities, fix what you have messed up with. Right your wrongs teach the pack good. You have the ability to do good, Gilbert. Use it wisely. I know you can!” I said moving towards him.
“Step back” I ordered Janine, I ripped opened his shirt, “May the venom that brought you down bring you up” I said extending my claws . I did need to look at his face to know he was terrified anyone in his position would be. I clawed the same place I had clawed years ago releasing my venom. He cried in agony, his mate was fixed in her place not being able to move due to my order. I retracted my claws at the end and stood up straight, “Your powers would come back in no time. Don’t make me regret this, Gilbert. Be the alpha you were always ment to be” I said coldly and walked away from them, “From this day forward I don’t know you and you don’t know me. There was no past and there will be no future. You are in no way related to me whatsoever. Live your life and forget that I even existed.” I spat at them and ran towards the forest.
I am done tonight, I don’t want to live in the cycle of vengeance and hatred. I don’t want my life to have one purpose, I am finally where I had always dreamt of being. I want to let go of the past so I can walk towards my future without the anyone’s burden on my shoulders. I came here for to give them a last shove and now I am happy. Happy to let it all go.
