Revenge Against my Rejected Mate

Fiona's Pov.

I walked hastily to Asher's room. What could be so urgent for him to have asked his guards to call me to his room at this late hour? The walk to the passage was a dark one and I wondered why the guards hadn't put on the generator yet.

I stepped into the room and used the light from my phone screen as a guide.

"Asher?" I called out but I was met with silence.

It was strange to see his room this dark. Asher was a fearless werewolf but he had always hated darkness. My leg made contact with a sharp object so I paused. With a hand on my waist for support, I bent down slowly to see what was on the floor.

A knife. Immediately, the lights went on, I guess those guards finally remembered their jobs. My eyes widened in fear at the next thing I saw, the Alpha's father was in the pool of his blood. I wanted to use my other hand to cover my mouth when I remembered the object I had picked up. It was a knife…stained with blood.

"Help! Mr Lucas! Goodness, gracious!! Can anybody hear me, please help!" I screamed as the blood on the knife stained my blue dress. Where was Asher? I wondered as I walked in the direction of his bathroom. I was about to turn the doorknob when the main door flung open.

It was Asher. He looked at the floor where his dead father lay coldly and back at me. I could see the anger in his eyes.

"Dad," he said coldly and walked slowly to the pool of blood.

"I…I found him…" I stuttered not knowing what to say. The way Asher looked at me and the knife I was holding sent a signal to my brain. Immediately, I dropped the knife.

"Why did you do this to me, Fiona?" He asked weakly, his sea-blue eyes piercing into mine.

"What do you mean by that?" I asked with a frown on my face. His eyes trailed my body and I rubbed my baby bump which was already as large as the size of an inflated balloon.

"I won't repeat myself, why did you kill my father?" He yelled and I could see hatred screaming from his eyes.

"No…no, I didn't. One of your guards told me you wanted to see me, I came to your room and saw your father lying in the pool of his blood." I explained and my heartbeat increased crazily. Sweat beads began to form around my forehead and armpits as more people trooped into the room. I had to handle this situation carefully and quickly.

"Can we talk privately, Asher?" I whispered when I got close to him.

"Are you out of your mind? Talk privately? Oh! I get it, so you can eliminate me also, right?" He yelled and I became more embarrassed.

"Who was the guard that called you?" He asked "It was dark, I didn't see his face," my reply was met with a wicked laugh from him. "Nice story Fiona."

"Guards, get this murderer out of here." He ordered and immediately two guards dragged me towards the door.

"Wait," I pleaded.

"Asher, how do you think I could possibly kill your father? He was going to be my father-in-law. Why would I do such a thing?"

"Fiona, are you that dumb? I caught you with a knife in my room with my father. How did he get here? Why were you with him?" He queried, I could feel the hurt in his voice but I was innocent.

"I gave you everything you ever wanted, was ready to make you my Luna and to spend the rest of my life with you but this is how you say thank you to me for bringing your family out of the gutters."

"Ash…" My voice trailed in hurt, the situation he found me in was compromising but he should know me better than to think I'm a murderer.

"Quit the pity game, Fiona, to think we all trusted you." I was pulled back by a familiar voice. I turned and it was Cassy, my best friend.

"What do you mean?" I asked her.

"I saw when you entered this room with a knife, you forgot to close the door and I saw when you stabbed Sir Lucas multiple times but why Fiona?"

I looked around to see the shock on everyone's faces as they cast disgusting stares at me. What was Cassy saying? Was she running mad? At that moment I realized I had been set up by someone.

"Why don't you deny it? No, go on and deny it." Asher said, waving his hands in the air and I knew I had lost my sweet-loving man.

"If you ever loved me, Asher, you won't believe any of this." I cried out the tears I had been holding for a long time.

"We don't accommodate murderers in this pack, this is going to serve as a lesson to everybody."

"Asher…" I said faintly but he ignored me.

"Take this woman and lock her up in the dungeon, by tomorrow morning, she'll be served the punishment for murderers." He said and my eyes widened in panic as I cried profusely.

Anyone accused of murder was sentenced to death. So, Asher was going to watch me get killed?

"You can't do this, my love, what about our children?" I rubbed my belly but I was met with a loud scoff.

"You can't use that to blackmail me, when one steps down another goes up. I've known Cassy well enough to know that she is a good werewolf. Thankfully, she isn't an Omega so she is stronger than you and fit enough to rule alongside me."

"What are you insinuating?" I asked, using the back of my palms to clean my tears.

"I, Asher Damien, reject you as my mate, Fiona Carlos."

The whole room was filled with my murmurings, it was no news that I was destined to marry Asher but that wasn't going to happen anymore. Bee was troubled within me, I had to accept this rejection no matter how painful it was.

"I accept your rejection and I reject you too, Asher," I Said with tears streaming down my eyes.

"Cassy will be the Luna of my pack." My mouth hung in shock as I turned to see Cassy with a big smile on her face. Wasn't this my best friend anymore? Why did she lie that I murdered Lucas?

"Guards take her away," he concluded and walked out of the room.

I ran to meet him but I was pulled back by a guard and immediately, I felt a sharp pain between my legs. I needed to be careful as my delivery date was due but wait, I was going to die tomorrow so of what use was this?

I could hear the loud whimpering of my wolf in my head. "This isn't fair," Bee cried and I couldn't agree less.

After several years of being with the man I love, this is how my life was ending. The lovely memories kept playing in my head. "Please save me, moon goddess," I whispered loud enough for only me to hear.

I heard the sound of the wind outside and I knew it was going to be a cold night for me alone in this cold room.

The door crept open and I guessed it was probably a guard who came to serve me my dinner but I felt the familiar presence and looked up. "Dad!" I stood up excitedly.

"Shhhhh! We need to get you out of here and fast," he whispered, placing his fingers on his lips to shut me up.

"How did you get the key?" I asked.

"Don't worry about that, you were set up by someone." We made our way out of the dungeon. Two guards were snoring as we walked out carefully. We were half gone when a familiar scent hit my nostrils. Asher. I tried to whisper to my dad for us to hide but it was too late, there he was, facing me with a disappointed look.

"So you wanted to escape? I thought as much when I didn't see your father in his hut."

He turned to his guards and they handed him his royal blade.

"I'll kill you myself the same way you did my father but first I'll do you the honors of watching your father die." He was barely done with the last word when his blade sliced deep into my father's chest.

"Dad!!!" I screamed at the top of my voice but was pulled back by a guard.

"Shut her up!"

It was over, the sharp blade went deep into my womb. My babies...this was how my life was going to end.

"Asher…" I said weakly as I felt the life leave my body.

Fiona's Pov.

I blinked my eyes open, using my left hand to shield the bright light that shone on my face. The ground felt rough with thorns piercing through my dress. I sat up, confused and uncertain, wondering how I got to a forest.

I tried to stand up but it was hard at first as a sharp pain struck my waist. With the floor as a support, I forced myself to stand to my feet. My fingers looked different and so did my toenails. I had always had short fingers but now it was long and well-filed. My complexion was a shade lighter. What was happening?

I saw a river nearby and quickly ran to it. Water! My throat was dry and I needed to quench my thirst. With both hands, I fetched the cold liquid and poured it into my mouth when my eyes met a stranger staring back at me.

I stumbled back, what did I just see? I looked back into the flowing river and saw the same person. This wasn't me. I rubbed my face to wipe out the sleep in my eyes if there was any. My hair had always been golden brown but now it was black, my eyes were carved out so beautifully and I looked like a goddess.

My fingers, my toenails…it now made sense. It was hard trying to understand why I was in the body of another. I placed my hands on my stomach and it was still the same way. I was still pregnant. Was I insane? I remember everything that happened clearly.

I was sentenced to death after I was caught with a knife in Asher's room and accused of the death of his father. Cassy accused me wrongly and was going to marry my mate after he rejected me.

My dad had tried to save me but we were caught. Just then, I remembered he died…because of me. He wanted to save me but his life went for it instead.

My heart was slashed into a thousand tiny pieces as tears streamed down my eyes. "I'm sorry Dad," I mumbled to myself.

I walked briskly through the unfamiliar forest almost running, I remembered how hard it was for me to walk around with this pregnancy but now here I was, strong and agile despite being eight months pregnant.

I transformed into a werewolf, testing the speed of my new form. It was clear that the once weakest werewolf in my pack was now powerful but was I still in my pack?

I changed back into my human form, overwhelmed by everything going on around me. I sighted a pack from a distance but it looked strange. This wasn't the pack of my beloved Asher. Did I just say beloved? Asher had always loved me but his verdict against me was too quick and harsh. He didn't care about our children. Worst still, he was going to make my best friend his Luna. Wait, were they in a secret relationship?

"Isabel?" A strange voice called out behind me. I was still lost in my thoughts that I didn't know that I had gotten to the pack. The voice came closer and I wondered if she was referring to me.

A lot of people started looking at my direction with fingers pointing at me. Did I do something wrong? I remembered the scene from Asher's room and how I felt the ground should open up and swallow me, that was how I felt now but this time, they were smiling. They looked happy to see me.

"Isabel!" A masculine scent hit my nostrils, it was sandalwood mixed with chocolate. A perfect combination, Bee jumped for joy inside me. "Mmate!" She said excitedly. To my surprise, I also felt happy. His arms wrapped around me in a hug and my heartbeat raced faster.

Did he know me?

"Welcome back home, Isabel." He said with tears streaming down his eyes. He was dressed in a royal robe and I knew he was the Alpha of the pack.

"I'm not Isabel, I'm Fiona," I mumbled but he didn't hear me.

"Luna Isabel is back! Luna Isabel is back!" The whole pack chanted and danced for joy. Did they just say, Luna? I was Isabel and I was a Luna. My head was filled with confusion. But didn't they see my bulging tummy? Was their supposed Luna also pregnant? My head started to ache from all the noise and stress.

"My wife is back!" The strange man said happily as he held my hand tight, "I thought I had lost you."

I didn't know what he meant, but I could feel the genuine emotion in his voice. The way he looked at me sent shivers down my spine.

We got to a big mansion and he told his guards to let the people return to their respective houses.

Immediately we got in, I pulled back with a look of confusion written all over my face. "Who are you please?" I asked.

His happy face turned into a sad one, "It's me, Devan. Your husband and mate ." He said gently, "You don't remember me?"

I looked at Devan, my brows furrowed in confusion. Everything happening to me lately has been overwhelming but this is the height of it all, how could he claim me to be his mate?

"What do you mean? Where am I?" I asked, my voice laced with fear and uncertainty. I looked around and his mansion was magnificent, more advanced, and glamorous than what we had in Lakestone.

Devan took my hands and replied calmly, "You are home now, you are in Darkville."

The name of the pack sounded cold and dreadful and I felt my throat go sore.

"Uhhmmm….so my name is Isabel?" I asked foolishly, I was trying to put everything together but nothing was making sense. Even though I was reborn in another lady's body, how couldn't he see that I wasn't his wife? What happened to the soul connection?

"You look confused, have you forgotten what happened?" He asked, placing one hand on my cheeks. "You were kidnapped six months ago and I never imagined I'd see you again, I'm so happy to see you once again Isabel my love."

I sighed as if nothing was making sense. Why would the moon goddess make me come back in a different pack in another body?

"Let's go and see the pack's doctor. No, I think the healer is better because I think you need some herbs to help you get yourself and he needs to also check our baby if he is fine."

"He?" I asked.

"Yes, don't worry I'll explain later." Devan took my hands and led me into his chambers. He kept whispering soothing words to me that everything was going to be okay.

Immediately we entered a room, a man dressed in an old robe smiled at me. "Welcome home, I have been expecting you."

Devan had a surprise look on his face. "You knew she was coming?" He asked.

"Yes but…" he was about to speak when I felt a sharp pain between my thighs. "Ouch!" I cried in pain.

"Isabel, are you okay?" Devan inquired and helped me walk slowly to the couch.

"You have to lose one to get another." The healer said.

"What do you mean?" Devan asked.

"You'll understand soon, get the pack's doctor. This is his job."

The pain increased and I couldn't take it anymore. I yelled at the top of my voice but strength left me. Closing my eyes gradually, I was ready for what awaited me, good or bad.
