Rejected By Him Claimed By His Uncle (Rita and Leo)

"Is something wrong?"

Janice was looking at me now. I looked back at her, feigned a smile and shook my head. "Nothing is wrong."

She looked at my phone and I quickly switched it off before she thought of snatching the phone from me. Janice shook her head in disapproval, but she looked away without saying anything. We finally got to my room.

Janice gushed about how nice the room was. She also said something about how much the room needed a feminine touch. I could not help but agree with her. Almost Everything in this room was the color black. I said nothing in reply to Janice though. My mind was still fixed on Sebastian's message.

Alpha à Leo saved my life. How would I turn down his request when he asks for a date?

I sighed in frustration. Maybe it was for the better. I wanted to stay away from Alpha Leo, didn't I? Now, it will be much easier to do so.

But why does it not feel right? Deep down, I knew I wanted to go on a date with Alpha Leo. I wanted to get to know him better as much as he wanted to know me. "Are you sure you're okay?"

"Are

I jerked when I heard Janice's voice. From the look on her face, I could tell she was trying to get my attention for a long time

now.

"I called your name ten times, but you still kept on staring into empty space." "I have told you

..

several times that I am okay." My heart sank. The tone I used for Janice was too harsh, but I had to. Or else, I might end up telling Janice about what Sebastian was doing. The last thing I wanted was for Janice to get into trouble because of me.

Janice looked hurt. She got up from the couch and shifted her gaze to the door. "I think you need more space." She looked up at the ceiling before looking at the door. I knew that it was to stop herself from crying, but I said nothing. "I will be in the garden. You can call me to help you prepare for your date with the Alpha when it is time."

Janice left the room immediately.

I threw myself back to the bed. "When will all this end?" I Will all

asked myself.

Almost immediately, my phone rang. It was Alpha Leo. I refused to pick the call. He was probably calling to tell me what time our date was. I, on the other hand, was planning to avoid going on a date with him. Alpha

Leo on the other hand, kept on calling.

Another message from Sebastian dropped. This time he was telling me to accept the date. I quickly sat up but when I finished reading his message, I rolled my eyes. He asked me to stand Alpha Leo up. "Arghhh!" I screamed, frustrated at how much Sebastian was trying to control my life.

I honestly wish he could just disappear.

Alpha Leo called again and this time, I picked his call. Like I predicted, he called to tell me the time our date would begin. It

was by five pm. I checked the time, it was four hours to the time our date will start.

proceeded to the door and locked it, busy in case Janice plans on helping me prepare for my date with the Alpha.

There would not be any date, so there was no need for preparation.

I walked back to the bed and after battling to sleep, I finally won. When I woke up, it was six pm already and I decided to finally open the door.

A few minutes after I opened the door, Janice walked in. She looked disappointed in me. "Did you seriously forget about your date with the Alpha?"

А

"I did not," I said nonchalantly and glared hard at me.

"So why are you still here?"

"I'm simply not going for the date."

"You're what?" Janice growled. Then, she took a deep breath to calm herself down. "And why aren't you going?"

Beca I don't feel like it." I sounded casual, but I was not taking the situation lightly. My heart squeezed in pain.

"Because

"Was that what you told the Alpha?" Her eyes

widened.

"I am not telling him anything. When he is done with waiting, he will come back."

Janice just stared at me in disbelief. She was at a loss for words. "You are not what?" She chuckled in disbelief. "Did you just stand the most powerful Alpha up just because you felt like it?" I looked away, but she continued talking. "Even if he was not a powerful person. He likes you very much and he makes sure he shows it. His kind is rare. You should reciprocate his love. If you knew you were not capable of loving him, why then did you accept to be his Luna? Luna?" "Whatever decision I make is none of your business."

Janice scoffed. "Really?" She shifted her gaze to the door and she nodded. "I should take my leave then."

I opened my mouth to say something to stop her, but I closed it back almost immediately. It was for her good. My knees weakened when she left the room and I dropped down to the ground.

That night, when Alpha Leo walked into our room, I could see how disappointed he was.

"Rita," He called out softly. I was standing next to the bed, about to go to bed when he walked in. "Did you forget about our date?"

"No."

No.

you were too tired then."

The skin between his brows pinched together. "No? I was waiting for you for hours. I canceled appointments because of our -date." He closed his eyes. The stern expression on his face softened. "Why didn't you come?" "Because I was not interested." "You were not what?"

I swallowed. "Interested. I was not interested in going on a date with you."

"Really?" Alpha Leo began to stride toward me, closing the distar CENTIMETER away from me.

I resorted to moving away from him.
