Two times rejected Luna, the desire of all Alphas - Chapter 9

Chapter 9 – You are no match for me
If Valerie was indeed proven innocent, then how could Adira stand a chance of being with Alpha Denzel? Her saliva dried in her mouth, making her pained and annoyed. She lost the words to say, as the warrior giving the information asked again through mindlink,

‘Did she leave the pack? You know how strong she is. Could she be the one who attacked the Yellowstone pack to exact vengeance?’

Adira scoffed. No matter how tough Valerie was, she couldn’t have taken down all those people she saw in the video during her coronation all alone. Also, the time duration was too short. With her injured leg, which hadn’t even healed, it was impossible.

‘She hasn’t left the pack because she is injured and isn’t even healing. We shall talk more when I return. Meet me at the pack house to give me the details of the matter.’

Beta Adira ended the mindlink, wondering why Valerie hadn’t healed. Could her wolf have been weakened because of the rejection? That was possible, given that most rejections ended with the rejected not even getting a second chance mate.

Valerie had gotten her second chance mate immediately because Alpha Denzel never planned to attend that coronation. It was the pull of the mate bond when he was driving to his pack that got him there.

Adira felt that things were turning against her with the news going around, which she would not be able to stop. Who knows if Alpha Denzel had even heard about it?

The more Adira thought about her losses, the more rageful she became, shutting out her wolf who was trying to warn her against what she was planning to do.

Her anger was directed at the woman on the bed. If news about this reached the Alpha and it was indeed proven that Valerie was innocent, the Alpha would most definitely regret his actions.

He might just accept and treat her better, even without the mate bond, and the worst that could happen would be for them to naturally fall in love, so how could Adira allow this?

Enraged, she pulled Valerie to a sitting position, punching her hard in the face. As Valerie wasn’t expecting such an attack, she didn’t have enough time to dodge it, and pain shot through her as she glared at Beta Adira.

She was upset, feeling that Adira was attacking her because of what she said earlier about somebody else catching the Alpha’s attention. With her experience gathered with Scarlet, it was not difficult for Valerie to know that a lovesick woman could be deadly.

If Scarlet, whom she loved so much, could turn against her because she had fallen in love with Alpha Tristan, who wasn’t even her mate, then what would Adira not do to her?

“What is that for?” Valerie questioned. Her desire to explore the Evergreen pack had suddenly overshadowed her desire to die. As such, she was ready to defend herself unless Alpha Denzel commanded her execution.

“The Yellowstone pack was attacked, and all those who accused and beat you are dead. Are you going to deny that you know nothing about it?”

Hearing the news, Valerie’s heart warmed, and her eyes lit up. Someone had avenged her, but who could it be? The only name that came to mind was Ashley, her elder sister. But how could it be? Ashley had left the pack years ago.

The last time Valerie heard, she was in Las Vegas. No, it couldn’t be. Then again, Valerie looked so much like Ashley, so it wouldn’t be hard for the pointers to be on her if it was indeed Ashley.

“What about Tristan and Scarlet? Are they dead too?” Valerie would have wished to kill those two with her bare hands, but she couldn’t also say that she would be saddened if they died.

She found the resolve to not die anymore. There was a chance to take back her pack, so she had hope. Somehow, she felt grateful to Alpha Denzel for not allowing her to die like she wanted. If she was able to get proof that she wasn’t in the wrong, then he might even let her go.

Since he rejected her, he definitely won’t feel anything for her, just as she wasn’t feeling for him. Adira found no reason to hide the truth from her.

“They are both at the hospital, but I don’t know the severity of their case. I didn’t ask.”

Suddenly, Valerie burst into laughter. If Tristan and Scarlet were in the hospital, then their injuries were so bad that their wolf could not heal them. Valerie hoped that whoever went to avenge her would equally rescue her from Alpha Denzel.

“If that is the reason why you punched me, then I’m afraid you are too weak to be the beta of such a large pack. Alpha Denzel must like you so much to make a weak woman like you his beta.”

Valerie was back to herself, as the news felt like honey dripping on her tongue. Beta Adira was furious at the remark and, forgetting about Alpha Denzel’s warning, she slapped Valerie so hard that her fingers were imprinted on her cheeks.

Valerie felt a metallic taste in her mouth and smiled. “Much better, but I hope to train with you one day.”

“You are no match for me,” Beta Adira said seriously, but inwardly she feared, knowing that Valerie was indeed a tough one. She had taken down a lot of warriors.

Adira might also be very tough, but she knew a few of the warriors were tougher than her. The only reason why Alpha Denzel made her the Beta was because he didn’t have a Luna. He wanted the pack to have what he couldn’t give them.

Adria was greatly skilled at managing the pack business, earning her a lot of respect among the warriors and pack members, so no one felt that Alpha Denzel was biased in making her the beta of the pack.

An idea crossed her mind at that moment. If she killed Valerie, she could set it up as suicide since Valerie always wanted to die. A cold smirk appeared at the corner of her lips as she removed her belt and wrapped it around Valerie’s neck.

However, Valerie’s defense was unexpected, stunning Adira and making her sweat.
