Confused about rejection

Hello, I've submitted a couple of chapters of a story that has been rejected because the editor believes it has non-con/reluctance content in it. Now I'm not saying he/she is wrong, I genuinely want to know where are the problematic parts of that story so I can attempt to correct them if possible.

Short summery:
After the prologue events of the battle for Azeroth, Tyrande comes to Anduin with an attractive proposal about the way that the night elves should pay back their hosts. Uncovering the satisfaction in living out his desires, the High King comes up with a plan to take over Azeroth and keep peace in his lifetime.

here's the first chapter:

It does no good to tell the discussion board your story doesn't have in it what the rejection notice suggested it might. Maybe it doesn't. Resubmit it with a note in the notes box saying it was rejected for possible noncom but you don't think there is any noncom in it and asking the editor to point to it if, upon a closer read, she thinks there is. I've received rejections similar to this and just pointed out the suggestion violation isn't there and asked for clarification and the stories then have been posted as originally written.

But this has to go to the sole editor of the site not to the users of the discussion board. She doesn't normally read the discussion board. She's busy trying to pass submissions into the file. And the users can't anything for you but direct you to her.
 
Guessing by your pen name and the description provided, I'm going to assume you were writing for the Celebrity and Fanfiction category.

That category has some special rules that don't apply elsewhere. One of them is the no Non-Con rule, and it's a lot stronger line than is used elsewhere on the site. Things you might get away with in a non-branded Fantasy story will not fly when set in the world of "Game of Thrones" or "The Witcher".

If you'd like, drop me a PM and I'll give it a quick once over. As KeithD says, some rejections may be the result of skimming and believing she sees something that isn't there. It may be that all is necessary is to append a note saying you believe the rejection was in error. Otherwise, I'll point out any red flags I see.
 
Thanks for replying, any idea how to post the content of the chapter? if links to other sites aren't allowed I have no other option
You can't. That's the point of the submission process, to allow the site editor the opportunity to scan a story for content compliance.

You need to check your content to address the questions asked in the rejection notice (these are generic, by the way, not specific to your story). And if, as KeithD suggests, you think there is nothing breaching content guidelines, then resubmit with a note to the site editor.
