Alpha's Rejected Omega Mate

Chapter 2

[Mallory's POV]

"Let me go!" I screamed as my stepmother dragged me by my left wrist and pulled me out of my room.

I was naked, and yet she didn't care. She wanted to report me to my father.

"Leave me alone!" I bit her right hand with force, and she flinched and let go. I ran back into my bedroom to get dressed as fast as I could.

"Mallory! Mallory!" She banged on my room door, and I knew I would be reported.

It was 1 a.m. I looked at the door and went to pull it open after I finished dressing. I donned a short red dress that fell past my knees.

However, as I unlocked the door, my father, Alpha Bruce Adonis, stood there and smacked me across the face the moment I opened it.

"What were you doing in here? And why does this place smell of s*x? Who was he?" Dad walked into my room, grabbed my bedsheets, and sniffed them angrily.

"Tell me, Mallory! Who did you mate with?" My father demanded. He stared at me with disappointment.

"Dad, I wasn't mating with anyone," I lied, lowering my gaze.

My father marched up to me angrily and grabbed my left arm.

"Mallory, I made a promise to your mother that I would protect you, and yet you couldn't wait to find your real mate. You foolishly slept with someone. Speak now! If I find out from the camera who you slept with, you will both be banished!" My father threatened, his blue eyes narrowing at me.

I didn't want Ace Lennox to be banished. He was the pack's future Alpha since my father has no son. Ace was very skilled in combat and fought well. He had defeated some packs that wanted to destroy ours.

I looked away from my father's face, hesitating to tell him who I had slept with.

"Speak now! Or forever remain silent!" my father threatened as he adjusted his black garment.

My stepsister Sonia came in, dressed in a white nightgown that shimmered because she always made sure to buy the best quality dresses.

"Dad, Ace and I did it," I announced.

My father's eyes widened in shock, before he glared at me.

"You are lying about Ace. Why couldn't I detect his scent here? Has it gotten to the point where you have to lie about Ace Lennox?" My father yelled, and I lowered my head.

"Dad, Ace is the one who came here to meet me," I told him.

He yelled at me. "Shut up! I am going to ask you for the last time. Who did you mate with?"

"It was Ace Lennox. He was here. He left through the window," I said.

My father went to the window and looked out.

"Ace cannot fly from this window because we're on the second floor. I see you don't want to tell me who the man you slept with was. As much as you don't have any scent, Ace has a scent of pinewood. You think I don't know what my fellow pack members smell like, much less the future leader of my pack?" Dad said to me angrily.

Sonia cried. "Mallory is lying, Father. Let us call Ace and ask him. She wants to force him to become her mate just because she sees us together."

Even though Sonia was taller than me and believed she would become the next Luna, I was her older sister.

"I am not lying. Ace was here, and he slept with me. Maybe he used a scent suppressant," I said.

My stepmother walked into my room and smacked me very hard across my left cheek.

"Shut up, Mallory! I cannot continue to stand and watch you slander the pack's future. Honey, Mallory needs to be punished, so that she can learn her lesson. Maybe it's because she knows Sonia is bound to become the future Luna and marry Ace. She wants to destroy their future together," Luna Lily stated, as she looked at my father's face.

"Honey, if you cannot punish Mallory, allow me to punish her. She is only worthless and of no value in this pack," Luna Lily added.

My father stood there silently.

"Guards! Take Mallory downstairs, and Sonia, call on Ace. He needs to answer to Mallory's accusations before I decide on her punishment," my father stated, as he walked away from the room angrily.

"Father, I am not lying. Ace and I are true mates! You all have to believe me!" I cried as my stepmother ordered the guards to drag me out of my room. I was taken downstairs to the first floor.

The guards forced me to kneel, while my father waited for Ace's arrival.

A few minutes later, Ace walked into the grand foyer looking like he had just taken a bath. His brown hair was wet, and he wore a yellow shirt and black shorts. He was very tall, and he looked from me to my parents.

"Greetings, Alpha Bruce. You sent for me," Ace bowed before my father, who stood at the Alpha's chair.

"Yes, Ace Lennox. I need you to tell me the truth before I decide on your punishment with my first daughter. You should know that lying to your Alpha warrants banishment. I hope you are aware," my father stated, staring at Ace angrily.

"Yes, Alpha Bruce," Ace replied with a bow of his head, avoiding looking at me.

His parents rushed into the hall to find out what was happening.
