Chapter 4
Where is everyone? I asked myself not expecting an answer.Alpha sent them away, he wants this conversation to be private. This isn't about my absence at the pack training this morning right? He nods his head before getting out to open the door for me."Such a gentleman". I said and he snorted in response.He is waiting in the office. I nodded and I walked up the stairs. He doesn't need to show me the way. I have always been visiting since I was young. The alpha and luna have taken special interest in me since I was young, they saw the aptitude for pack dynamics and took time to train me and improve my skills and help me grow,more reason why I love them both."I just don't love their son".I knocked on the door, and the alpha call's for me to come in. I stepped into the office and looked around. The alpha, Luna, Gabriel as well as my parents were present. They both looked annoyed and I turned to look at Gabriel.You told them right? You fool you ruined my plan. I yelled at him and he looked at me confused."What plan? He asked irritatedly and I growled at him." To get out of the pack" He and the alpha both growl at me."You are going nowhere"Gabriel said.I rolled my eyes at him."You don't have a say over that" I said and Gabriel growled at me again. The alpha held his hands up to get our attention back and motioned me to sit on the chair in-between my parents.Why don't we talk this over. He says apologetically.Now Rachel, why did you reject Gabriel? He asked and I couldn't stop myself from rolling my eyes. My mom pinches my thigh for response and I growl at her. Surprising everyone because I have always been a gentle wolf" No offense alpha but your son is an asshole. You know before today I have never heard him call my real name in years. You know what he calls me bitch,slut,whore sometimes he is more creative. I said and Luna hit Gabriel at the back of his head, making me laugh.You called your mate such filthy names? She asked horrified and Gabriel got defensive."I didn't know she was my mate," He shouted." That is not an excuse for you to speak to pack members like that. Alpha cut in before turning back to me. Maybe we shouldn't hold grudges over the things peace does when we are young, Rachel people grow." It was three days ago" Luna hit his head again. I gave her an appreciative look. My dad and alpha both growl at him and he sank in his chair." It really is ironic though, if you think about it. He called him a slut while I waited for my mate. Did you wait for me Gabriel? Did you? I asked him, as I pinned him with my glare, he couldn't answer. He was only looking at the floor." That's what I thought," I muttered. Alpha sighs heavily and pinches the bridge of his nose.Rachel. My son is an asshole, but I need you to put that aside for a minute. I need you to give him a chance not just for him but for the sake of the pack. He says.Am sorry that my pathetic love life is making you and the pack uncomfortable, alpha." What are you talking about? I asked with obvious irritation in my voice.Watch yourself Rachel. My mom mutter's to me.If I ever have the right to be ,it would only be now.It is not just Gabriel you are rejecting as your mate. You are rejecting the whole pack. You are meant to be luna. Alpha explained and it dawned on me.Holy shit, how could I not have realized this before? I tried to calm my beating heart and my thoughts began to race. I started to hyperventilate and my parents tried to calm me. Gabriel comes up to me and rests his hand on my back." Don't touch me" I shouted at him and he pulled back his hand in surprise.Isn't my touch calming to you? He asked and I let out a mocking laugh.Not since I rejected you. I feel nothing, I said and I didn't bother to hide my satisfaction at the truth. Gabriel looked more saddened than before.You can't feel our bond? He asked and I Shaked my head."No" so I guess you bond now. I said and he went back to his seat looking defeated. Once my breathing is back to normal, alpha continues.Normally Rachel, I did say you have every right to reject your mate, but this is bigger than you and Gabriel. This is the future of our pack," It strength". Doesn't that matter to you? He said and I nodded." It does that y I want to leave, alpha furrowed a serious brow at me, so does everyone else.Explain. He says and I sigh knowing I am bound to make everyone angry.I don't think Gabriel will make a good alpha. I said all the gasps and Gabriel growled at me.And why is that? Alpha asked, obviously trying to control his temper. I straightened my back and took a deep breath.He is rude, selfish, self-centered and proud. He is power hungry and stubborn. He will make this pack explode. I said, no one spoke for a long time.Surprisingly it was Gabriel who opened his mouth first."I Gabriel accept".Luna smacked her hand on the table before he could finish accepting my rejection.When you finish that sentence I will put you in the ground myself. By doing that, you are proving everything she just said about you is true. Luna says with firm glare. Gabriel nods a little and she removes her hand, watching him closelyChapter 5I won't say it, Gabriel says annoyed and runs his hand through his hair. I watch his movement,my eyes trailing his hand. Gabriel saw my gaze and snorted at me. That pissed me off and I returned my gaze to the alpha."Rachel,I am not saying that you are wrong". Alpha says, making Gabriel growl from his seat. Alpha growled back making him wilt under his firm glare. But if there is any chance of him Changing,it is you. A mate brings out the best in you, especially an alpha. You might be the change he needs, That an opportunity if you ask me." He said and I smiled at him".That sounds pretty good and all, Alpha am not ready to pin my future on trying to change my mate for good. And it is not fair to ask me to do that, I said as a matter of fact. And Gabriel scoffed from where he was seated.Why does any of this matter to begin with? I already reject him as my mate, it's not like I can just take it back. I said and Luna cleared her throat." Well, actually if you mark him it will
I almost didn't like it." Just relax Gabriel" I said as I ran my hand through his hair, he leaned in closer as my touch was soothing to him but I miss the spark I felt when I found out he was my mate.Though it wasn't enough to forgive him for the way I was treated by him for the past few years, and that is for sure.Gabriel lets just take things slowly,once at a time. I said to him,and he looked very relaxed under my touch."What do you think the pack will think of us?"? I asked him and he looked up at me with a furrowed brow."What do you mean"? He asked me to look him in the eyes.Have you forgotten that you single handedly destroyed my reputation? What? Do you think the whole pack will accept a slut for their luna? I asked, looking him straight in the eyes and he growled back at me."Don't call yourself that" he said and I narrowed my eyes on him."I didn't. You did" I said pointedly and his face fell before he laid his head back on my lap. He moves his hands around my waist ,
Chapter 7"How does it feel? The revenge? Does it feel good? My mum asked but I shook my head".I didn't reject him for revenge, I rejected him because I don't want to be his mate. Both my parents sighed and their looks turned from amused to somber.Rachel we didn't want to say these in front of the alpha, because we want you to know that we are on your side. My mother starts but looks at my dad for help. My eyes flit between the two of them as unease builds inside me.Alpha is right, sweetheart. As much as I hate to admit these, once Gabriel becomes your mate. Your first responsibility is to devote yourself to the pack.if your mate had been someone else other than the future alpha of this pack. I would have said wholeheartedly that you have every right to reject a man who treats you like trash and has no respect . But that isn't an option in a case like these, in fact regardless of what the current situation is , I am very proud of the fact that you stood up to him. For believing in
Chapter 8But since he's here for you, why don't you ask him to stay? She asked and I Shaked my head. I stood up and went out to meet him in the room where he kept wandering around. Looking at my things." I'm fine you can leave" I said and he observed me with a worried expression. He sighs as he runs his hand through his hair before looking back at me. He walks over to me and reaches up to run his hand through my braid.I have always liked your hair like this, it gives off the innocent sexy teacher vibe. He said smiling at me, I crossed my hands over my chest as I kept looking at the ground making him sigh again." Rachel please" try to listen to me just once, if you let me in give me a chance , I'm telling you what I feel for you is very sincere and it has nothing to do with the mate bond at all. Because I have always loved you for years, Rachel I couldn't express my feelings for you because I wasn't good enough for you, and that really pisses me off most times I see you. Everyone
Chapter 9It was really unfair to me but my hands were tied.But I the pain I felt was like that of being stabbed multiple times, it was really getting unbearable for me, and when I reach out for our bond for some comfort, it felt worse than I thought it was with me because I thought she was dying, out of panic I ran to her house to check on her, only to be met with the sound of her cry coming out of her bathroom, my wolf was angry at me and cursing at me in my mind because of the way I treated our mate in the past, I made him lose every connection with her wolf when she rejected us. My wolf had since then been feeling depressed. We couldn't connect her wolf to know whose side she is on.But none of this really mattered to me. At the moment when she opened the door and her face came into view it was clear to me that she was really angry at the moment because her eyes were bloodshot From how hard she must have been crying.I have Never seen anything like this before, she was always so
Actually you have another option, I was happy when I heard that, only to be disappointed when she said, " you might as well go back home to your comfortable bed you know". I could only sighed back in response since I knew I could Change her stubborn mind." Fine, the floor is also fine with me". I said and she nodded back, ok was a pillow and blanket to land on me. I smiled and wrapped myself around me, the strong scent of my mate was good enough to put me to sleep, I sat up a little to peek at her cheek , she growled at me but I smiled back at her feeling happy." Goodnight, Rachel". I whispered to her and she rolled away from facing me."Goodnight"Rachel I woke up at some point in the middle of the night. I could tell that it wasn't a day break yet as it was still dark everywhere. I was sweating,like I was feeling really warm. I reached out my hand to pull the string connected to the ceiling fan, that was when I realized that I was being held down by firm and muscular hands. I lo
Chapter 11"Yes". I answered simply before walking out of the door, giving him a better view of my ass which he apparently take advantage of, judging by the tortured groan he let out.As we walked over to the training ground, he moved closer to me and reached down to grab my hand. I waved it away irritatedly before crossing my hands under my breast, making them stick it further, catching his attention once again."What are you doing?" I asked him irritatedly." Well, I am just trying to be a good mate". He says shrugging and doing that thing where he rubs the back of his neck." What makes you think I want everyone to know that you are my mate?" I asked and I could see the hurt look in his eyes .I'm sorry, I just don't have an issue with peanut knowing. He says with a shrug and I sigh before massaging my temple.Seriously,this stressful headache is going to kill me.Just not yet okay? People are not going to react well if they know now. We need to be mindful of that, I say and he fro
Chapter 12RachelI will make you an example for others to learn from and know what will happen to anything who talks shit about my mate and your future Luna. He yelled at everyone present at the training center, before turning back to Debbie. Now you get your sorry ass off to the kitchen before I change my mind for something worse, or would you prefer sending you to the cell. He says, his eyes were showing a glint of black that showed that his wolf was in control.I could hear a lot of low gasps and whispers among the people standing, as they digested what he just said. The color from Debbie's face had drained off and she stammered, finding it hard to speak any further."No this can't be '' but I thought I did be your mate. She murmurs to herself. Because her birthday is only a few days to go and she happens to be one of that pack strongest she-wolf. I wouldn't have been caught off guard if they happened to be mates, the thought of them being mates makes a pang of hurt in my heart,
