Broken Queen

3. Getting Rejected.

Penelope's POV

"Leave me, leave me you brute," I yelled and tried to wriggle out from the arms of my brother Joshua who was holding me tight.

I could easily take him down but the silver which was injected in my body was making me weak, very weak that it was hard to even use my wolf senses, forget about shifting and kill the guards and my brother who dared to take me to the dungeon.

I shivered at the name of the dungeon and looked at the low-class cell where Joshua was pushing me. After a lot of struggle, he pushed me inside the cell and bound my hands with silver chains. I yelled feeling the burn of silver on my skin and tear slipped out of my eyes.

"Please leave me Joshua; I am also your sister. How can you let your sister be mateless?" I yelled but my entire yelling fall duff on his ears. He left me alone in this small dark cell with chains around my hand.

Tears spilled from my eyes, just thinking what my wolf had done in her anger and how everyone had treated me after that. No one showed pity or sympathy that it was the instinct of my wolf who attacked Natasha who stole our mate from us.

"Mate," my wolf growled, who was felling betrayal and hell angry seeing how our mate was hugging some other wolf instead of us, and the result was that my wolf took control over me. We shifted and jumped on Natasha and slashed on her face, without even caring what we were doing.

In our eyes, it was a betrayal to snatch mate of some other she-wolf which wasn't accepted by both of us, especially when we had always craved to meet our mate.

"Leave her Penne," my father and brother yelled at me, looking afraid of what I was capable to do.

I ignored all of their pleadings until Axel tried to push me away from Natasha when I marked my nails on his face in anger and started to fight with him and Natasha at the same time, knowing well that my wolf was out of control. This whole anger was until silver was injected into my veins and I got back my control over myself and fall down on the ground, shifting to my human form.

"I am sorry," I looked down knowing well that what I did was a crime. It wasn't expected from a warrior like me to lose her control and attack on Alpha and Luna like that even if they were her criminal. "I don't know how-"

I was interrupted when a loud slap landed on my cheeks making my skin burn. Hot fresh tears spilled out of my eyes when I noticed that it was Luna who had hit me and was now looking at me with disgust. I ducked my face understanding her anger. I had hit her son and she had all rights to hit me but she should understand my pain and agony of seeing my mate with our female.

"Take her to the lowest dungeons," Axel ordered with hatred.

How can a mate get so much hatred for his mate even if he was going to probably reject her?

"No, please no. Please don't send me to the dungeon," I pleaded, knowing well that my warrior life would finish once I entered inside the dungeon as a criminal. "It was an instant of my wolf. She was hurt after seeing her mate with someone as. Please forgive us," I spat these words out of my mouth whereas I wasn't feeling any remorse for hitting Natasha.

"You have done a big crime Penelope by hitting your Alpha and you deserve this punishment," I gasped hearing dad and looked at him with teary eyes. "You shouldn't have let yourself lose your control over to your wolf," he looked at me with disappointment and I felt my heart slicing with pain.

"Please, dad at least you try to understand that I did this in instinct. You, all of the people know how I was waiting for my mate," tears spilling out from my eyes seeing his cold side toward me. My dad was everything to me and now his cold behavior was hurting me.

"Please, dad don't let them take me to the dungeon. It will kill me," I pleaded when Joshua and few guards come and bind me with chains and started to push me toward the dungeons.

"Please dad, save your Penelope. I promise that I will always keep my wolf in control," I sobbed.

"Dad please!"

"Dad!"

But all my yells and pleading fall duff on his ears who didn't take any step to save me and let the guards push me toward the dungeon. Not only dad but no-one heard me, not my warrior friends, not my trainer except Kyle who was also looking hurt knowing well that nothing was in his power.

I turned and looked around to see how everyone was looking at me with either hate or pity but no one stood for me, no one understood the agony of nearly getting rejected by the mate.

Hot tears again spilled out of my eyes feeling that now I was all alone and no one was going to come for me. I was all alone in this cell and I didn't know what my fate was going to be.

**

Happy birthday to me!!

Hear the mock in my voice. Today was my birthday and I guess no one remembered that, especially not my father who didn't come to visit me at twelve in the night like every time. It was like no one wished to visit me.

Now, it had been six days that I was chained inside this cell and no one, literally no one had come to look after me. Not even a fly or warrior to check if I was alive or not. No one came to give me food and now I was feeling hell tired and weak. I knew if it wasn't for my strong wolf then I was sure that I was going to die out of hunger and weakness.

I moved my wrists a little which was tired of hanging from the wall like that and I just winced when silver touched my skin as even my skin had become numb and habitual to the silvers. With each passing second of my life, I was cursing moon goddess, as this was not what I had thought about my mate, nor I had imagined myself in the dungeon but here I was all alone.

"Happy birthday to you angel," a smile appeared on my lips on hearing the first voice in the past week. Soon the cell gates were opened and there entered Kyle with a cake in his hand which made me smile.

"Dad didn't come with you?" I asked while my eyes frantically searched for him. I knew that he would wish me birthday, no matter what. On not finding dad anywhere, I looked at Kyle who was looking at me with gleam face.

"He didn't come," he sighed. "But see I brought this Chocó lava cake for you. I am sure that you will love it," he grinned widely and I also smiled in my pain.

"Now cut it for me," I commanded and show him my locked hands.

Kyle chuckled and cut the cake and feed it to me quickly. I felt delighted when something entered inside my stomach after so long. It was like I hadn't eaten anything from a decade.

"You are eating this cake like a caveman who hadn't eaten a thing from a week," Kyle joked but seeing my sad face, he zipped his mouth and looked at me sadly.

"Don't worry sister, I am trying to get as many as a member by your side so Axel can't punish you," Kyle placed his hand on my shoulder and looked down.

"How many members agreed that what I did was an instinctive act of a mate?"

"No one," he sighed.

"Not even dad," my voice turning heavy and I could feel tears burning in my eyes. My heart clenched just thinking that even my father wasn't supporting me.

"I should go now Penne and I think by tomorrow you will be asked in the meeting room for your decision," he looked down and I knew that he was afraid for me. "Don't worry Penne; I will try my best to save you. It's just that Natasha is being a bitch, and is crying on the scar you had left on her face. She is looking really ugly in it." He chuckled to lighten the mood.

"I know that you will save me," I smiled toward him. "Moreover, I am ready to face my fate."

Kyle nodded to me before dashing out of the cell, afraid that someone will catch him that he had entered in my cell and here I was again all alone in these horrible walls.

"Alpha had called you," a horrible looking guard entered inside the cell and pulled me out of it on my birthday evening.

It was early but I felt a little hope thinking that maybe Alpha and dad had some change in mood and they were planning to free me on my birthday night. With that little hope only I walked with guards feeling my body and senses numb from being caged in the cells for so long.

"Ahh," I moaned feeling the slight light which I was seeing after so long before I was mercilessly pushed on the carpet of the meeting room where nearly every elder member with warriors were sitting with Axel in the center.

A low growl escaped my lips when I noticed how Natasha was holding on the arms of Axel who was mine. Axel patted on hand of Natasha and walked toward me, leaving her behind who grinned viciously and I knew something bad was going to happen.

"This Penelope blue," Axel took my name with disgust making me whim and my wolf again disappeared, who was completely weak and broken. "This lady had dared to attack your Luna and Alpha which is a big crime so as the future Alpha of this pack I announce Penelope to leave my pack within four hours otherwise guards will throw her out. She is no more a member of our pack and will be a rogue."

He announced and I felt my world crumbling down. I had been trained to fight all those rogues and today I can't be a rogue myself. I could feel my wolf howling painfully in the back of my mind as it was much difficult for us to part away from our pack, our family.

"No, you can't do this to me. To your mate," I pleaded, my breathing coming out in heavy pants.

Axel chuckled before spilling out next words from his mouth which broke apart my world, ending my existence.

"I, Alpha Axel Grey of Snowwood pack rejects you Penelope Blue. Now we are no more related."
