The Alpha’s Rejected Bride
Chapter 3

"What the f**k?!" The words escape my mouth before I can filter them.

I cross my arms against my chest, looking Josh in his eyes. He audibly swallows thickly before opening his

mouth to speak.

"On my way here, I went to see mom. She hugged me, and that must have left a stain," his voice is

smooth but my angry expression is unwavering as I ask sternly.

"Are you cheating on me?"

Josh looks shocked, he closes his eyes momentarily then opens them

"I swear to the moon mother, I'm not. You can call my mom if you wish," he sounds agitated now, as he tries to get the phone from his pocket.

"Why would I cheat when I love you so much!" He continues while pressing numbers on his phone. I

take In a deep breath and look into his eyes, this is Josh, the guy I've known since I was seven years old. I take his phone away and sigh.

I cup Josh's face.

"Are you saying the truth?" I ask, looking into his eyes.

Josh kisses my lips softly,

"I love you, I'd never even think about being with another," He pulls me into an embrace and whispers

in my ear.

"Josh, I don't know what I'll do if I ever replace out you've been unfaithful, my heart wouldn't bear it,"

"Don't doubt me, please," his voice is kind and I wrap my arms around him.

The rest of the night everything is magical, unlike what I thought, josh took me on a candlelight dinner

date. The food was delicious and so appetizing.

He tucks a strand of hair behind my ear and smiles.

"You're beautiful," I'm blushing like crazy right now.

"Thank you," I whisper. Our conversation flows naturally and freely just like us. Josh is not as tense as he seemed in the earlier hours.

His phone chimes and I glare at it again.

"Who keeps texting you?" I ask, he has been receiving a lot of messages.

"It's just work, baby," he says with a smile then turns it off completely. Josh is finishing with his business degree next month yet works at my father's company. Dad thought it was a good idea for him to learn about the company since it's affiliated with the pack. I didn't want to study business administration, I want to be in health just like my mother so I did that and this year I'm in my last year.

"How is work?" I ask, for a while we discuss how business and studies, I go to a local university just here in the pack as well.

Josh seems enthusiastic to take over while I worry about whether I'll make a good Luna for the pack, human Lunas are unheard of.

Later in the night, Josh kisses my cheek and drops me home.

"Thanks for the night. It was fun,"

"I had a good time," he opens the door and motions me to go in.

I start to walk but he's not following. I turn and ask

"Are you not coming?"

"I'll sleep at my parent's. I have to discuss something with my parents," he says. I smile and proceed to

my room.

After freshening up, I lie on the bed, just thinking.

The night was perfect but my heart doesn't feel right.

I keep tossing and turning in bed.

I get out of bed and walk to my balcony.

I close my eyes and inhale some fresh air in my lungs.

After a long silence. I hear a long-familiar howl and my heart starts to pound louder against my chest, the last time I heard it was four years ago... The rogues attack and... killed my mother.
