“Zephyrine.” Princess Mearez called, and I rushed to hug her tightly. Before turning to Princess Serena, I pulled her into another firm embrace.
It felt as though this was the first time we had truly seen each other in years. Last night had happened so fast, and I had left far too early. Now, seeing them here at a werewolf event, I couldn’t help but feel grateful. They were here for me. Just for me.
“My baby brother said you’ll be weak when you reject that man,” Princess Serena said, and I almost smiled. By “that man,” I knew she meant Nyroth.
I nodded and turned to Princess Mearez, who had been staring at me in silence. It was as though she carried something heavy in her heart, or perhaps she sensed something within me she had never felt before.
“The aura oozing from you feels stronger than before, Zephyrine,” she finally muttered. I swallowed hard; it was because I am now an Alpha.
Before I could respond, the soft jingling of bells from the priestess ahead announced the start of the rejection ceremony. This was it. After five years of no respect and no affection… this was it.
“Can Blue sit with you?” I asked Princess Mearez, but Princess Serena looked at me in mild confusion.
“Of course. You forget she is a Lycan.”
I smiled and watched my personal maid take her seat gently on the chair. Then I slowly turned my gaze back to the priestess and sighed.
I was about to step forward when Princess Mearez caught my wrist tenderly. I looked at her, curious about her words.
“Thank you for doing this,” she said softly. I searched her eyes, unable to restrain my emotions, and hugged her again.
“It’s for me. Not for Lycannar,” I said before pulling back.
Turning toward the priestess again, I saw Nyroth standing at attention. I set my jaw. Here we go.
I took a step forward but then he began his speech, stopping me in my tracks. Everyone had settled down, and the rejection was about to begin.
I expected him to go straight to the point, but he seemed intent on giving a speech first. I had no issue with that. I would only retaliate if he crossed a line.
I walked to my seat beside Princess Mearez, ready to listen.
“I appreciate everyone here at this gathering tonight,” he began steadily. “As you all know, any werewolf of Hue Pack is mated once in a lifetime. Surely, everyone is wondering why the Alpha of that same pack is willing to reject his mate, bgjgthe mate he was meant to keep for life.”
