Chapter 4. Rejection Denied

Gabriella's POV

What did he say? Was he trying to reject me as his mate? His future Luna?

My mouth was wide open, and my entire body stiffened due to Prince Javier's abrupt rejection. 

"Please accept my rejection, Omega!" Prince Javier raged at me. I regained consciousness as he screamed in front of me. 

"What?" I faltered as I looked into Prince Javier's eyes.

"I told you to accept my rejection!" Prince Javier reiterated what he had said. 

"But why is that? Why do you want to turn me down as your Luna?" I inquired, confused.

 Because of my question, Prince Javier's eyes furrowed. I felt his anger at me because of his look, but I did not show fear in him.

 "What do you think you're expecting, that I'll accept you as my Luna?" With a scornful tone, Prince Javier inquired once more.

 "I just wanted to let you know that I looked into your information today and discovered who you are and where you're from!" He added to inform me. 

"I'm not insane enough to accept you as Luna! An orphaned woman, an Omega, and you are a wolfless werewolf!" He told me in my face what he knew about me.

 I could not speak because of what Prince Javier had told me about me, which was all true. 

"You're right, I came from an orphanage, I'm an Omega, and I'm now a wolfless werewolf, but that's not a cause to reject me, Prince Javier," I firmly responded. 

Prince Javier laughed, "These are sufficient grounds for me to reject you! You are a worthless woman, and I have no intention of accepting you as such!" he declared. 

The words he shouted pierced my breast as a thousand knives hit me. I was aware of these facts, but when I heard those terrible remarks from others, particularly my Mate, I appeared to pass out. 

" If I were you, I'd accept my rejection !" Prince Javier responded angrily. 

"No!" I responded forcefully. Because of my response, Prince Javier's eyes narrowed, his teeth tightened, and his hands clenched. 

"Do you want me to make your life a living hell? If you don't accept my rejection, I will do that?" I was threatened by Prince Javier. 

"But, Prince Javier, you're my mate!" I was adamant. 

"I don't mind! I am an Alpha, and rejection will not bother me!" He replied. 

That is not correct! If a werewolf rejects their mate, they claim to be in so much pain that they may seem to commit suicide. "I'm not going to accept your rejection, Prince Javier!" I responded with a firm reply.

 I do not intend to accept Prince Javier's rejection since his role as the future Alpha of the Bloodlust Pack represents a significant opportunity to resurrect the Pack that my parents founded. I will not take rejection from him, no matter what, even if Prince Javier threatens me. 

"If that's the case, brace yourselves because I won't let you be my Luna!" Prince Javier's final words before entering the palace. I was left to my position in the butterfly garden. To calm myself, I took a big and deep breath. 

"I will not let Prince Javier turn me down! I will go to whatever length to gain his acceptance!" I said firmly to myself. 

I spent about 30 minutes in the butterfly garden before returning to their quarters.

 When I entered our room, Eury was brushing her hair in front of the mirror. "Gab, where have you been? Why didn't you eat everything I brought you?" Eury inquired at me as she looked in the mirror. 

"Eury, I just came out. I was full earlier and forgot to put it away," I'd lie, but the truth was that it was all because of Prince Javier. 

"I'll shower first," I said goodbye to Eury to escape her questions. I know that she will ask me some questions until she heard what she wants to hear. 

'What would Prince Javier do to me when he threatened to make my life hell because I refused to accept his rejection?' I pondered this as water streamed from her head to her body. 

As I felt the coolness of the water pouring through my body, I closed her eyes. 

'Who actually Prince Javier is?' Is it true that he is a ruthless man?' I continued to think. I simply sighed. I kept bathing till I was done. 

I sat up in bed after getting dressed. I wasn't weary because I had slept all day. 

I began to feel drowsy about five hours later. I closed my eyes and layout on my bed. I awoke the next morning due to Eury shaking my shoulders. "Come on up, Gab, and we'll make breakfast and serve the Alpha's family!" Eury told to me. 

I awoke from my slumber and rose from my bed. "Prepare yourself. I'll be the first one to go to the palace. If you have finished preparing yourself, proceed there immediately!" Eury said her goodbyes. 

Eury rushed out of our room as I prepared to begin my day as a maid. I exited the room and went to the kitchen when I was ready. As I walked into the kitchen, I noticed my coworkers were busy. I instantly pitched in to assist them to serve Alpha Bernard's family in preparing their breakfast. 

When we were finished, the other maids and I left the dining room, leaving only the old ones in the dining room. Some of my companions had already begun their work, such as cleaning the entire palace, while she and Eury proceeded to the laundry room to wash clothes. "How come Prince Javier isn't there earlier? I want to see him badly!" Eury was taken aback and inquired. 

We had not seen Prince Javier before they left; only Alpha Bernard and Luna Gladys had entered the dining area earlier. I didn't respond to Eury's query instead, of focusing on the laundry. 

"I'm extremely unlucky, Gab," Eury murmured, drawing my attention to her.

 "Why? What happened, and why did you tell me you were unlucky?" I was taken aback and asked her. 

"I hoped to be Prince Javier's Luna, but nothing happened. The Moon Goddess did not choose Prince Javier as my Mate," Eury responded to me with sadness. 

"You? Gab, did you feel anything when you saw Prince Javier? Perhaps you're his Luna!" Eury inquired while we were both doing their laundry. 

Eury's abrupt question caused my eyes to widen. Because I couldn't speak, my tongue seemed to retreat. 

"Gab, why do you seem to have seen a ghost? What exactly happened to you?" Eury inquired when she noticed my expression.

 "How can I tell who my mate is if my wolf hasn't returned yet?" I responded to her inquiry. 

Eury agreed because of my response, "You have a point." 

"Why hasn't your wolf returned yet? Gab, perhaps she abandoned you permanently," Eury voiced her opinion. 

"No way, Eury. According to what she informed me when I was eighteen, she will return!" I had a response for her. 

"When will she return? What about when you're old? When you don't have the ability to conceive?" Eury interrogated me. "I'm not sure," I said, "but I believe she'll be back soon," I added. 

Eury shook her head in response to my words. We just kept doing our work. We were in the laundry when I was called by one of their coworker maids. 

I rose to her feet and faced the woman, "What's the matter, Gwen? Why do you call me?" I inquired of Gwen. 

"Prince Javier is looking for you, Gab," Gwen answered, which made my eyes widen. Why is he looking at me?
