Royally Rejected

Chapter 2

Aunt Rhonda has Terry meet me at the elevator as we walk out. He takes my arm putting it in his.

"Your beautiful." he whispers to me.

"Thanks, you don't look to bad yourself handsome man." I say. I must admit he looks like ten million bucks in his tuxedo. Me eh I don't look to bad either. Right now I'm just dressed in a elegant purple dress that comes to my feet and silver heels. My make up is a natural look. Actually it makes me look good. I look pretty.

We go to the dinning room where uncle Luke and a few alphas are. The alphas that are close by. Like alpha Jackson Brody's father, alpha Smith, alpha Bennett, alpha Harris and alpha Wallace their wife's or mates and children. Yes, the god Brody is sitting right there. These guys are the ones that are closer to my family than anyone. Personal close. Alphas and the wives.

Well, closer to my parents and then to my aunt and uncle anyway.

We sit down and eat dinner with pleasant conversation. Terry and I were wanting it to end. I think all of the kids were. I mean come on, adult conversation. I kept my head down not wanting to make a butt out of myself. Brody kept quiet too. But than again, he never was one for words.

Finally when dinner is over Terry and Rhonda shoo me back upstairs for my ball gown. Terry is my escort for the night of course. Since my favorite color is purple, Aunt Rhonda thought it would be cute for my dresses to be purple. Rolling my eyes here. She's pretty silly sometimes. My dress is this puffy cinderella dress with intricate designs and silver heels. My hair is now half up half down with the lower half in lose curls with the top half in a bum with baby breaths here and there and of course let's not forget my tiara. BLAH. I'm not a big fan of wearing that.

"Wow Sage you look amazing." Terry gushes. I roll my eyes. I hate this.

"Thanks Terry." I say anyway.

"Ready?" he ask me bowing. I slap the top of his head.

"Stop it. I'm going to get enough of that crap tonight. I don't need you doing it too." I huff.

"Oh, I thought I'd get you prepared for what's ahead." he snickers.

"Jerk." I huff. He knows how I hate this crap.

"Let's go princess." he says holding his arm out for me. I take a deep breath and take it with the other hand I lift up my dress like a princess should do. We begin to walk down the hall to the grand stairs that leads to our I call a party room. It's where we have have all of our parties and balls.

Once we get to the top, one of our guards, Lewis announces me.

"Presenting Princess Sage Holliwell and her escort Terrence Hill!" he announces as we descend the stairs. There's clapping and cheering. I smile brightly doing my princess thing. We get to the bottom and people come up hugging and telling me happy birthday. Of course I politely thank them and thank them for coming. Of course some of it is fake. On both parts. Some believe I should not be queen. Why? I don't know. I don't care what they think.

"Happy birthday honey." aunt Rhonda says hugging me last. "Your sixteen." she gushes. "Your parents would be so proud of you." she says pulling away from.

"Thanks aunt Rhonda." I say.

"Happy birthday." uncle Luke says hugging me. "Tonight's the night." he says happily pulling away.

"Hopefully." I say.

"Oh it will be. There's to many unmated males here for you not find your mate." he tells me excitedly. Please stop, I'm nervous enough as is.

"Let's keep I fingers crossed." I say instead.

"Let's get the show on the road." aunt Rhonda says. I nod an okay and she leads Terrence and I to the dance floor where we begin our dance.

I dance with dang near every guy and if I didn't dance with them I shook their hand and instantly knew he was not my mate.

"May I have this dance?" I hear a husky deep voice say. I instantly know who it is. Brody Jackson. My wet dream. The guy I'm dancing with pulls away from me and bows taking a step back. Brody takes my hand and I gasp. He froze. It's him. My mate is Brody Jackson. No way! I wanted to do a happy dance right there but no princess should do that. He sudden pulls me to him. "Don't say a word." he hisses. "We will talk about this later!" he growls at me. I didn't know what to say so I just nodded. I was in shock. Why is he acting like this? Is he mad? Shouldn't he be excited? We dance anyway. I dance stiffly because I didn't know what was going on. When the music is over he leans in kisses my cheek. "Meet me by the garden!" he growls at me. I nod again not knowing what else to say. Heck if it wasn't for my aunt coming over I would have stood there as he walked away.

"Honey it's almost time." she tells me. I nod an okay.

"Yeah let me go to the restroom first." I say. She nods this time and I take off to the restroom, making a detour to the back door instead. I go out to the garden where Brody is there pacing.

"Brody." I say quietly. He stops and glares at me.

"I reject you." were the first thing that comes out of his mouth. I gasp as my heart broke. The one thing I've been waiting for is rejecting me.

"But Brody." I whisper. He grabs my upper arm roughly jerking me.

"No don't Brody me!" he growls. "I can't have a fat, ugly, self absorbed, goody two shoes, snot nosed, princess as my mate. You shouldn't even be princess. Your nothing. I can't believe that the moon goddess is sick enough to play a cruel joke on me. On all of us. Your going to destroy everything your parents built up just because you don't get your way. Don't say a word about this to anyone or I will kill you. Princess or not!" he snarls pushing me down and walking away. I didn't know what to say. I couldn't cry yet. I had to shift and everyone was going to be there. I had to stay strong for now. So I picked myself up off the ground and walked back inside.

"Go go." aunt Rhonda ushers me as I walk in. I nod heading back out. I can't believe this! I've just been rejected. Sheesh give me a few minutes but I couldn't tell her that and I knew I couldn't let the people down. The princess or prince shifting has always been a big deal to us. I don't know why. I never understood it.

The hot flashes I have felt for the last hour and a half are starting to hit me hard. My aunt said it should be an hour before I shift but mine has been for an hour and a half. The dancing might have been why. I don't think I stopped dancing once tonight.

I get back out to the opposite side of the garden where I see everyone standing there including Brody. And he has his arm around some girl smirking at me.

Suddenly a massive of wave of pain hits me making me fall on all fours.

"Lie down." uncle Luke gently laying me on my side. So I laid there in massive pain. My skin is burning, bones cracking painfully slow. Too slow. It hurt way to much. I laid there for hours. It isn't suppose to be like this.

"Luke what's wrong with her?" aunt Rhonda ask worriedly after a while.

I...I...I think she." he trails of. "Sage did your mate reject you?" he ask me. I couldn't say anything due to a scream that erupted from my lips. It's killing me! I think to myself.

"Luke!" Rhonda panics.

"I think her mate rejected her." he answers growling.
