Rejected To Fate

Chapter 2

The hall was fully decorated, with leaf banners and a cool blue theme.

I crept into the hall with my sundress, carefully blending and hiding in the pack of wolves.

Fortunately, I made it to a buffet table at the far end corner of the hall and a bonus, I'd escaped every wolf who'd looked my way.

I took a cup of soft drink from the buffet table.
The declaration ceremony was being held in the pack house. The Alpha had let off the workers for the evening to watch his son's declaration ceremony.

My heart retched and clenched as I watched their fluid steps and small talks. Every one of them had a date, a smile and that clingy tight ball dress. The life I once had, the life they took from me.

I took my drink and sat at a far of corner of the room, just observing the celebration before me.

I felt it before and I ignored it. But now, it was not to be ignored. It hit me hard. The feeling craved and burned my chest. It whispered into my mind. It spoke to my soul. My heart thumped and pumped furiously in my chest.

My skin tingled and my breath faltered, and came out as a gasp.  He turned to my gaze and I literally held my breath, in both loath and affection. I took in a very deep breath and held it in. The vision around me fazed and left me in my own little world with him. I knew what this was, I knew what it meant, and for that I hoped my eyes burned with rage instead of the supposed affection it drew from within.

Mia paced and howled in my head, sheer joy evident in her howls.

His stared at me very intently, then a frown crept up to his face.
I frowned.

When I saw his motion, my heart thumped too fast for a while, before it got to its regular harsh beating in my chest. It pained me for a moment when he frowned. I knew he was unexpected, and surely would not be so friendly about it.

I was out of my daze now and was still confused by his expression when Mia, took over.

"Mate..."

Of course it had to be the Alpha to be.
He stood up from his seat, the celebration had already started so not too much eyes were on him. His presence near me had gained more than enough attention already.

He pulled me out of the hall and into a path way, then away.

He fisted his palms and punched the wall.

"What did you do?"

"Excuse me?"
I was confused. Did I do anything?

"Why would we be mated?!" He forcefully gritted out his words.

"You think I chose this?"

What the hell is wrong with these people?

"How can you think that? Do I look that desperate to you?"

He narrowed his gazed with a deep breath. "It's not so hard to turn greedy is it? You are pathetic after all."

The nerve! The actual f*cking nerve!

"To hell with the sh*t you just said. I hate you all! And there is no damn way I'd let your fang graze even my dust!"
I fought the tears that threatened to fall through my eyes.
Was he not feeling the mate bond?

"That was never part of the question Gina, this is not your fantasy."
He suddenly turned silent, inching towards me with an eerie calmness.

As his breath fanned my ear, I felt my whole face go red, flushing really hard.
He whispered. "I will never be your mate."
