Mine: His Caged Princess
Chapter 2

‘This is it.’ Tiara looked at him with teary eyes. She wanted to beg him not to reject her. Give her a chance to redeem herself. For the first time in her life, she felt utterly defeated. Her wolf, Dora, kept telling her not to accept his rejection and ask for forgiveness, but no words came out of her mouth even though she opened her mouth twice.

It wasn’t that she had attitude issues, but she didn’t think that her value was so low that she had to beg in front of someone to love her. She had read somewhere, ‘the love which you get as a result of begging will never be successful. Don’t beg for love; you deserve more than that. Never beg for someone to love you; love is not more important than your self-respect.’

She looked at Theodore, who looked desperate. It was clear that he didn’t want her but her sister. He knew if she would accept his rejection, then she would feel unbearable pain, and even after that, he wanted to reject her. She smiled sadly and decided to give him what he wanted.

‘Please! Please, don’t do this.’ Dora begged in her mind.

‘Loving someone doesn’t always mean you fight for them. Sometimes loving someone just means letting them go, Dora. If they return, they were always yours. And if they don’t, they never were.’

“I, Tiara Haysbert, accept the rejection of Theodore Wayne.” She accepted the rejection and felt an enormous pain in her heart that made her hard to breathe. She fell immediately to the floor and screamed in agony. She watched him leave without giving even a single glance as if this place, she was suffocating him.

She didn’t know what was more painful. Her own pain that she was feeling at that moment or the fact that her mate didn’t care about her.

Tiara couldn’t control the pain that she was feeling at that moment. Dora couldn’t stop howling in pain. The fact that he had already marked her had increased the pain of rejection by ten times more than normal rejection. She felt something warm between her thigh. A lot of tears rolled out of her eyes, and she clutched her stomach in pain.

She realized that it wasn’t just her mate that she lost today but also the pup, her pup, their pup. She was going to surprise him with this news a moment before.

“Aaaaaaaa!!!!!” She screamed in agony and kept screaming until she was finally tired from it.

‘I’m done with your selfishness. I can’t stay with a selfish woman like you, Tiara, especially the one who doesn’t treat my Lia right.’ Theodore’s words rang in her mind.

She agreed that she was selfish. But he couldn’t see that she was selfish for him because she loved him. Wouldn’t he do the same if he had to share Liara with someone else? Hell, he would have killed that other person because he was a saint, either.

All this was about one thing. His Lia. His Love.

By thinking all things, more tears rolled out of her eyes. ‘I don’t love you and can never love you.’

She observed that Theodore had not an ounce of feeling for her when he said those hurtful words to her. Well, why would he?

Even she knew that he didn’t love her or even like her. She was just an extra mate in his life that the Moon Goddess sent in his life, which he kicked out of his life.

She wasn’t raised to be someone who felt unloved or unwanted. That was why she didn’t tell him about the pup who was inside her because she didn’t want to hold him in her life in the name of the pup, OR who would have known he might have rejected her even after knowing that? It wasn’t that Theodore was ever present while making love to her. It was always Inigo, his Lycan.

Tiara started laughing and crying at the same time, at her state, her misery.

Neither Liara nor Theodore told her the truth about knowing each other for years. They made her the villain in the story. Her reaction and her behavior toward Liara would have been different if she would have known the truth.

‘I will never forgive you, Theodore!! How easily you judged me by keeping me in the dark!! I’m not perfect, and I don’t claim to be, but before you start pointing fingers, you should have it check whether your hands are clean or not.’
