Chapter Four

SIENNA

I woke up suddenly with a sharp pain. My mind was alert immediately as I tried to pin point what exactly was wrong with me and why I was suddenly feeling pain all over.

I wondered about it, trying to come up with a possible reason but nothing seemed to be coming to me. Then suddenly, the pain hit me again and that was when I knew what was happening.

My fated mate, Jasper was having intimate relations with someone or more precisely, he was having sex with his girlfriend, Sandra and that was what was causing me such severe pain as this.

A wave of pain came over me again as I doubled up, clutching my stomach because the pain was threatening to overwhelm me. I was trying not to scream but I doubted if I could hold it in any longer.

I was sweating profusely now and I was almost close to passing out so I began to scream. I screamed and screamed until my throat was sore and I could scream no more. My voice was now hoarse and my eyes were red.

When the pain stopped almost an hour later, I was very happy that I had survived that phase of agony. It has been nothing but pure hell while it lasted and I never wanted to go through it ever again.

But I knew that the only way it could never happen again was if I accepted my mate's rejection of me.

***

Few days later, I was sitting down in my office and working on some files when I heard a knock on the door.

"Come in," I called out and immediately, someone stepped in. It was a guard and he spoke promptly.

"Alpha Dane has asked for your presence in his office," he informed me.

"Alright, I will be there."

Then the guard turned around and left and I turned back to my desk and cleared up my files before heading out. When my father summoned me, he couldn't be kept waiting. I had to go and see what he wanted.

I stepped out of my office and walked along the hallway until I got to my father's office. It didn't matter that I was his daughter; I had to knock before entering his office. So I did. He quickly answered, calling out for me to come in.

I put my hand on the door knob, turned it and stepped into the tastefully decorated office, turning around to close the door behind me.

I walked to the large mahogany desk in the middle of the room and stood before it.

"Yes, Father," I said.

He raised his head up from the paperwork in front of him and fixed his gaze on me. Then he gestured to the seat in front of his desk, motioning for me to take a seat. When I did, he started to speak.

"Do you know why I have called you here, Sienna?" he asked.

"No, I don't, Father," I responded.

So he cut straight to the chase. "I know that you have found your mate. And I know that he rejected you but you refused to accept it. I also know about the pain you have been going through as a result of his actions. So now I have only one order to give you. You have to accept his rejection of you in order for you to stop experiencing all this pain. In doing so, you will be able to move on and focus on your priorities. Please, my daughter, just do this."

I wanted to take my time to think about all of this but I knew that there was nothing to think about again. I had to do as my father said. I had to do it and move on. If I did it, I would be able to focus on my duties and start training to become the Luna of the Coleman Pack. That was what I had to do and I would do it. My fate was sealed.

"Alright, father. I will do as you have said. I will reject him," I said to him and he nodded.

"Then do it. Do it, Sienna."

I steeled my heart and squared my face up. "I, Sienna Coleman accept your rejection of me and in turn, I reject you, Jasper Manuel as my fated mate."

And with that, blackness descended upon me and I collapsed, falling onto the floor of my father's office.
