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

My eyes widened in surprise. How did wolfsbane get into my bag?

I stood still for a moment, narrowing my eyes. I don't know how that got into my bag.

"Then,

how did it get in there?" Taylor sneered. She had a victorious smile on her face.

"Someone planted that in my bag. I said, defending myself. I turned to Alpha Leo. "I did not poison you."

Alpha Leo just stared at me with a straight face and without saying anything.

"What are you waiting for? Take her to

Take her to the Alpha's court and throw her into the dungeon," one of my colleagues said to your guards and everyone yelled in support. The guards looked at Alpha Leo for a go ahead, but he just stared back blankly. Taking matters into their hands, they grabbed me.

"Leave her." Alpha Leo growled and their grip on me loosened. Everyone glanced at each other, surprised at the words the Alpha said.

"She's still innocent until proven otherwise," Alpha Leo said and even 1, 1, the victim, got shocked.

"Alpha, we found wolfsbane in her bag after she brought you water with wolfsbane in it," one of the guards pointed out. Alpha Leo shrugged casually. "I can plant wolfsbane in someone's bag without him or she knowing. "But Alpha, according to to the rules of this pack, she should be punished, "Taylor said and Alpha Leo wrinkled his nose. "And who are you to tell me about the rules of my pack?" "As a a pack member, it is my duty to to look after my Alpha," Taylor said Said and

Leo pursed his lips, annoyed at the act she was putting on just to make matters worse. to innocence. my

Ignoring her, he turned to look at me. "There will be a hearing and I will give you tillhead. "And you better be innocent. If you turn out not to be. Trust me, your punishment will be greater than what it would have been if you were a random person. He squirted his eyes and clenched his j At that t moment, I heard his voice in Shivers ran through my spine. It was the first time Alpha Leo was acting cold toward me.

My heart fell. I was a little bit disappointed that he did not completely believe that I was innocent. I had always wished that he was cold to me like he was to most other people and now that he was, I did not like the telling at all

His eyes moved away from my face to the class. "Anyone who tries to ridicule her or bully her in whatever way possible before the hearing will have to face my wrath." My heart warmed at how much he was still trying to protect even in a situation like this

He stomped out of the class, leaving me behind in a room of haful glances directed at ine. Getting uncomfortable, I dashed out of the class to the restroom.

Luckily for me, no one was there. I immediately walked into one of the stalls and locked myself in. The plan was to remain there until all my classes were over Then I heard the door open.

I stiffened.

I looked down at my legs, hoping that whoever entered would not recognize who they belonged to.

A click-clack sound followed. Whoever entered locked the door.

I shrank back

Why was she locking the door? Did someone see me come in here? Was I about to get

I took a deep breath.

beat up?

Alpha Leo had warned everyone. No one will try to bully me after his stern warning, I thought to myself in a bid to calm down

Rita,

darling Why are you hiding in there?"

My heart skipped a beat.

The voice belonged to Sebastian.

What was he doing in the ladies' room?

I heard hint pulling at the door of the stall I was in. I locked the door but I knew fully well that locking the door was not going to stop Sebastian from getting to me.

Like I feared, in less than a minute, he was able to pull out the door and I curled up in one corner.

"Did you seriously t think that this silly door can protect you from me?" Sebastian threw the pulled out door.

"You

destroyed this building's property. That is a punishable offense, I croaked and Sebastian laughed.

"Punishable offense? What about poisoning the Alpha's water with wolfsbane?"

pulled out the door of my stall

I swallowed. "I am innocent. The Alpha has given me a chance to prove my innocence and I will. By the way, you're violating the restraining order Alpha Leo placed. You're not to come near me, but you walked into the ladies' room because you saw me walk into it and "Tsk tsk. You should not have tried to poison Alpha Leo. Now that you have, who will protect you from me now?"

"I did not poison Alpha Leo, 1 growled and he smirked.

"Well, he does not know that."

I raised my brows. "What do you mean by he does not know?" Did Sebastian frame me? I gasped. "You framed me didn't you? You animalistic thing

"So is your wolf or did my rejection make you forget about how animalistic a wolf can be?" He grinned, sticking his tongue to the side of his cheek.

I bared my teeth. I could not believe that I was once head over heels for the heartless man before me. "So you actually framed me. I don't know how but your plans to make my life miserable will never work."

"Of course it will because you will never be able to prove your innocence. I made sure the people I sent to plant wolfsbane in your bag and in Alpha Leo's water were not caught on camera. There are so many cafeteria staff. Most of them wear a hairnet and a mask. How will you know which one gave you the poisoned water? How will you know which of your colleagues planted wolfsbane in your bag and even if you do, how will you prove that they did. Rita, mark my words. Whether you like it or not, you will be thrown into the dungeon 2/3
