Chapter 0005
SEBASTIAN.
“Are you still brooding? You know Seb, I’m tired of having to nag you to get stuff done when you were
always on top of it all. Why even reject her if you can’t deal
with it?”
I look up at Jai, my Beta and also my best friend, but I choose not to answer him. It’s been 4 months
since she accepted my rejection and left this pack.
“I didn’t think she’d accept it.” I mutter, flipping my phone distractedly between my
fingers.
Jai scoffs. “Yeah, you just decided to hurt her for no real reason and wanted her to beg you to keep
her? You hurt her by going back to your ex.
I know…
But what I don’t get is why did she accept it so easily? I’ve known Zaia since before I found out she
was my mate. She’s always been a girl determined to get what she wanted, and she had always had a
crush on me…
How could she simply just walk away without even trying to fight for me? It left me feeling as if she was
in a hurry to get rid of me.”
“You know, man, since we’re on the topic, you really need to talk to Annalise and stop her from coming
to the Pack Hall.”
“And why should I do that?” I ask, raising an eyebrow.
He shakes his head, “It’s one of the reasons I’m here, as your beta. Everyone wants.
me to talk to you.”
“Spit it out.” I growl.
He looks at me seriously. “She causes problems with everyone here. The cleaning
staff, the cooks, the guards, even the gardener’s man. She’s trying to tell them how
to do their jobs. I swear, since she’s joined the pack, she’s become even worse of a
nightmare.”

“Well, I’m sure they can deal with her. I have more pressing matters to deal with than getting involved
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwith such meaningless matters.”
He scoffs. “Really man? Like this is the menace you want to make your Luna?”
The pack has all been against it, no one is ready to accept her as their Luna, let alone as a member of
this pack.
“I am the alpha. The pack should learn to accept what I say.”
“You are an arrogant alphahole. No one will ever accept her. On top of that, you aren’t ready to publicly
tell anyone you are divorced. Heck, just last week you told the Alpha of the Crimson River pack that
your Luna was visiting family. What is that all about?“.
I don’t respond, my brows furrowing. I have kept Annalise and the divorce a secret for now, because
my father will not be pleased.
None of this has gone as planned. My hands were tied and at the time I saw no other
solution but to reject her.
e you ever
listening to me? Your parents will be back from their holiday soon. I for one want to be present when
you tell them that you divorced our beautiful Luna because they will find out, even if you command the
pack members to keep it a
secret.”
I glare at him as he continues, unphased by my rising anger.
“Seriously though, Zaia was the one for you. She was gorgeous. I don’t even see what you see in Little
Miss Plastic Annalise. Zaia was perfect, her hair, the way it bounced with every step. Remember how it
used to fall over her eye, no matter how many times she’d push it back? Kinda like tempting you to do it
for her? And the Goddess.
made her for you. She was your destined mate man.”
I frown at him, a flare of jealousy rushing through me. “The Goddess isn’t always
right.” But he still continues.
“Ok fine, her hot looks should have been enough. I mean her body, she was perfect,
and by that, I mean those curves. Damn, you’re crazy not to want to be enjoying that ”

I snarl as I slam my phone on the table. “Watch it!” I growl.
He jumps a little, shocked at my outburst. My chest heaves as I try to control my
rage. “That’s my woman you’re talking about.”
“Your ex–woman Sebastian, your ex. You rejected her, remember?”
My eyes flash dangerously. Jai might be my best friend, but right now I am tempted
to break his damn nose and ruin that pretty–boy face of his.
“I don’t care. She was my mate. That is something that won’t change.”
He raises an eyebrow, storming to the door. He’s angry, but his wolf won’t allow him
to disrespect me his Alpha- further.
–
“Right. Only you have Annalise now. I’m not going to claim her Seb, but if someone
does, you have no right to stop it. You rejected her.”
The door slams shut behind him as he leaves me alone in my office.
I curse, slamming my fist into the table.
My life has always been complicated, the situation with this pack, my family, their
dictating ways and things I don’t want to go into.
When I found out Zaia was my mate, I didn’t know what to feel… She was too good for
my lifestyle, too good to be a part of the King family.
The secrets that even three years in, she never knew of… I’m certain if she knew
them, she herself would have probably rejected me long ago.
Secrets I wanted to protect her from at all costs.
Dad had put down the ultimatum that I would only get the business and pack if I
found and married my destined mate. Someone who happened to be the sister of my
girlfriend.
Broken–hearted, Annalise had suddenly left without even allowing me to explain.
I don’t think Dad had expected me to actually find my destined mate, but I did and
he had to honour his words.

I never wanted her to fall for me. I kept her at arm’s length to begin with, planning to divorce her a year
into the marriage. Not planning to consummate the marriage, either, but her innocence, her beauty and
her confidence won me over.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBefore I realised it, we were a real couple. I fell for her, just as deeply as she had
fallen for me
I loved her, and I still do… 8
But the day Annalise returned, and told me she had been kept captive for three long years had shaken
me. She had managed to escape, but when she told me she had everheard them mention the one who
had ordered her kidnapping; I had lost it. 12
It was none other than Zaia I didn’t believe it straight away. How could I?
I had first checked our bank statements. Sure enough, every month, she was paying
an isolated bank account a large sum of money.
With my money.
She had fallen to such levels just to keep Annalise away from me, and her true colours were revealed
when she had accepted my rejection so easily. Only someone cold–hearted was capable of that.
I’m getting angry again, and when the door slams open, I almost want to punch the
intruder in the face.
“Knock!” I snarl at Jai.
“No Seb, you’re going to want to see this.” He says, he’s pale, his heart thudding as he holds out the
file in his hand. I frown as I stand up and snatch the file he was
holding in his hand out to me.
“Beta Jai! Please don’t!”
I glance up as Doctor Scott rushes in, Zaia’s friend… I haven’t seen her around in a while, but with Zaia
gone, there’s no need for us to meet. Her face is paler than Jai’s
and she freezes when she sees the file in my hand and I frown.
What exactly is this?
I’m about to flip it open when, to my surprise, she rushes forward and snatches the
file from me..
