Alpha Dylan's POV
I've known for the last 7-8 weeks that Esme has been my mate. It's illegal for a wolf to tell an underage wolf that they are there mate. So even if I wanted to reject her I couldn't.
I really wanted her sister to be my fated mate she's the one I love not Esme. She's just a lowly omega who works for us doing the shit no one else can be bothered to do. She gets the odd beating if she's not compliant or if the job she's done is not up to standards.
She must have her wolf because Jared my wolf is going absolutely wild in the back on my mind. He's wanting to accept her and mate with her but I can't have that. Once she notices me I can tell she already knows I'm her mate but I have to reject her and I have to do it today. Now even.
"No...No this isn't happening"
"Out. We need to talk. But not here."
She walks outside knowing what's coming I hope. Jared is going wild and it's doing my head in.
'She's our mate. She was made for us and she can become stronger. You can train her with our other fighters and warriors'
'Not now Jared!'
'If you reject her I won't accept no other she-wolf as your chosen mate because she's our fates'
'JARED I SAID NO! She's too weak and our pack doesn't do weak'
"I'm sorry you've got me as a mate. I didn't ask for this I know you wanted Adeline to be your mate" she says so quietly and so timidly that I almost feel bad for this.
We reach her little run down shack of a house and I smell her more and more everywhere and I can't resist her. I shut the door and push her to the wall. I'm just about to give in when I remember why I actually came here.
"Shut up" I say without hesitation and not been bothered if I hurt her feelings or not.
"I don't want you. Your too weak your nothing. Your body is disgusting and repulsive. It wasn't even Adeline who I wanted it was your sister that I wanted. The only person I have loved since I was a kid."
I see her sobbing. It's breaking her to hear this but I can't show my emotion towards her. It'll make me weak and she will hold it against me.
"Please don't do this. I'll get stronger and I'll work on my figure and my appearance just please don't do this" but I don't acknowledge her I just need to get out of here.
"I, Alpha Dylan Langley, Alpha of the waterside pack Reject you, Esme West pack member of waterside west to be my mate and Luna"
I feel the mate bond breaking slowly. It won't fully break until she accepts my rejection. Which she best do because I'm not being stuck with her.
After sighing she looks at me. Cold face she's showing no emotion and she's waiting for me to say something. But I can't. Her eyes are dark with gold rims and they genuinely look terrifying. Why is she doing that?
"I, Esme West of the waterside pack accept your rejection to be your mate and Luna of this pack"
She turned around and muttered something. Probably calling me some form of coward or prick in another language.
"Me lastimaste. Lo peor de todo es que me rompiste."
I didn't even know she studied another language let alone pronounce it perfectly!
"What did you just say to me?" I asked more intrigued and curious than annoyed.
She turns back around and speaks to me again.
"I said...Me lastimaste. Lo peor de todo es que me rompiste ...which translates to "You hurt me. worst of all you broke me."
Okay now I have to go I can't be here any longer.
"Take tonight off. I don't want to see you at the ball and I don't want to see you anywhere near the pack house until tomorrow.
"Understood?"
"Yes sir" she says with pure malice in her voice.
"I don't expect you to get cheeky to your Alpha. Apologise"
She doesn't say anything so I raise my voice a little harder for my Aura to make her obey. Obey like the little omega should.
"I SAID APOLOGISE" I shout at her.
"Sorry"
I slap her so hard I even feel the stinging sensation on my hand. I pull her hair and Just as I'm about to say something to her the door flings open and in walks her Brother. Finley.
"And what do you think your doing to my sister"
"Making her obey her Alpha which is what you should do. Maybe teach the bitch some manners too"
I let go of her hair and realise I've pulled some out. She's whimpering on the floor and is curled into a ball near the door. I walk out and I instantly find Adeline near the door.
I hear my wolf whining in my head and my heart is slowly breaking more. The more I sit here the more it hurts and then Alana pops in my mind and talks to me like she's sat right in front of me.
"No fucking way was she your mate"
"Not now Adeline"
"Wait...you listened to a PRIVATE conversation"
"I had to see why you was following her back to her home when we have to get ready for the ball. call me curious"
"You know what that did don't you" I ask with a sly smirk.
"What"
"It killed the kitty. In this case...the wolf"
She holts on the spot and glares at me.
"Look if I'm going to be Lu..."
"Don't even finish that sentence do you hear me. "
Jaxon's POVIt's 11:30 am and we have a 5 hour drive up to Waterside pack. In one car is me and my Beta Charlie who is also my brothers. There is 3 years between us but we never wanted to become Alpha he has always preferred to do other duties and feared that he wouldn't be good enough.We're 2 hours into the drive and I'm ready to throw out hunter. Hunter is my gamma and acts as third command of me and Charlie are not here he is in charge and takes care of the major issues and even minor issues."I might find some hot girls tonight you know" Hunter says while flicking through some emails."You know you could at least pretend to make a conversation with them instead of just screw them and leave them" I say without hiding my irritation."Just because you haven't found your mate yet don't mean to say I have to have one""Anyway back to my night at this pack""No more or I throw you out and you walk there""Your such a party pooper Jaxon"'Yeah yeah. Course I am. I'll take been a party p
Esme's POVI'm on my way to work when I get stopped by Adeline. I can't be dealing with her right now my hearts to heavy to listen to her whining about something."Oh poor Esme. Dylan rejected you because he didn't want you so you try to make him jealous by showing up to work with a smile on your face"I turn around waiting for her to carry on but she doesn't, she's stood there trying to make me break. It's working but I certainly won't allow her to see that. Dylan's walking towards the door and I kindly ask her to move."If you don't mind Adeline I have work to do""I do mind. And its Luna to you"Alpha Dylan approaches us and is glaring daggers my way like I have done something wrong. What could i have possibly done to him this time?"I told you not to come into work tonight its for guests and work members." He says so coldly."I am working." I tell him while looking at the floor. "It's only 4:45 alpha I said I would work until 7. Elisa told me she didn't want me slacking so I wont.
Alpha Jaxons POVAfter hearing Dylan's estimated guess on how many pack members he has I was left utterly speechless. In my pack I have a little over 500 members. Each with their own lives, jobs and income and all's I ask if for respect and occasional help if need be."Do you hear yourself? Wouldn't you want to be expanding your numbers instead of selling them?""With all due respect Alpha but you've come to my pack lands and..""On YOUR request. I came here for 2 reasons Alpha and this wasn't apart of my bargaining either. Sort your stuff out. I will sign the treaty and I will take your staff member with me. I also want to see this place expand or I will be pulling us out of this treaty and leaving you to dry on your own. And the next visit I have I don't want to find that your staff members are exhausted and shouted at and made to feel like shit because I have the agreement here with me which states that at any point I see fit to retreat from your pack I can do and shall do with no
Esme's POVIt hasn't been long since I got home. I've been trying to sort out some of the stuff that's been falling apart from rain and storms and sometimes when Aloha Dylan wants a punching bag and I'm unconscious he goes for the walls or the doors.I hear my door being slammed open and I know exactly who it is. He's angry. Majorly angry at that."OI mutt. You're going tomorrow to Another pack."I'm frozen on my spot. I need Finn to come home now. I need him here because Dylan won't be able to hit me if he's here! He wouldn't dare. "Are you listening to me bitch""I can't leave! Finley's here and I can't just leave him here with you on his own. He won't have no one here and I don't want to go"** SLAP **"You disrespect me again you and I'll make him watch the next slap that lands your way is that clear""I don't need you to let him watch! He sees the aftermath of every single beating I get for what? What makes your pack members and omegas any better than me? Apart from that tramp o
Jaxon's POV"Are you really that fucking stupid you would risk all chances of loosing a treaty with me. You told me she was challenged.""She did not look challenged to me Alpha Dylan" I say trying to hold back from strangling him for hurting my mate. "She made me angry" he said like it's the most normal thing he has to offer me."Right well I'll make one thing extremely clear. That scene in that house I saw is going straight to the council. My men have taken photos of her entire body for prove along side a video I recorded with your hands on her and you kicking her. Unless...""Unless what""I take both of them" I say. Challenging him. "Finley west? You want the twins" he ask surprised by my proposal."Yes. I do and I always get what I want so this is the new terms of my agreement....i take Both Esme and Finley West and I make them work for me and we keep our deal of a treaty"I know he's having an internal battle with himself. But he has 2 options here, he either gives me what I w
Third person POVOnce on their way to Alpha Jaxon's pack Esme Is let sitting tightly in a ball with her brother trying to comfort her and talk to her. She's too anxious to say anything else but she looks his way.She has been badly beaten to the point where even Finley can't stand to look at her injuries as it makes him angry. His sister is usually upbeat and has the energy for the both of them."It's going to be okay. I trust him you can trust him too" Finley tells her."He's my mate. He's going to reject me and beat me just like Dylan did" She says while turning back to the window. She finds comfort in the outside world that's now passing by in a blur. They've been on the road for 3 and a half hours now and she's no closer to feeling safer than the last time Finn told her he's a good person."What do you mean Es" Fin says to her holding her hand. "Yesterday. I found out that Dylan was my mate but just before he rejected me and just before you came home he beat me. He spat at me, he
Esme's POVI'm feeling really sick and anxious. I can hear Finns voice but I can't concentrate on it. I usually can but not right now. The maid that entered my room looked a lot like Elisa. I don't know how many more beatings I can take. It hurts to much my body hurts too much for it to keep happening.I see Alpha Jaxon and I'm instantly scared that he's going to hit me. I tell everyone to get out I need everyone to go."Please don't hurt me. Don't hurt me no more" I see Finn going to him and I know he's going to send him away."Get him out Finley please get him out" but he doesn't. He comes back and he tells me that Alpha Jaxon wants him to go and get me something to eat. In clinging onto him for dear life but he tells me I'm safe.I repeat his words with him and he's soon off out of the room."Hello Esme. Natalie who was here before..""She's not to come closer to me. I don't know how much more I can take of this. It hurts" I tell him. I needed him to know not to send her in again.
Jaxon's POV"Alpha..." she says while pulling away. I'm not mad at her. I understand."What's wrong Esme" I ask curiously."I'm so sorry Alpha. I didn't mean to do that"I smile back at her and I push my luck by pulling her closer to me and giving her a hug. She's stiff at first. I actually don't think she's ever done this before. "I don't want you to feel the need to apologise to me okay. Don't worry about how I'd react or anything because it's nice to feel like you're happy to be around me. I'm one step closer to you opening up a little bit more" I tell her with certainty in my eyes. I can't see it but I know it I can feel it.I let go of her so she knows that she doesn't need to do anything she doesn't want. She pulls away and she's sitting back on the floor. I need to know what she's on the floor instead of the bed."Esme why are you sitting on the floor instead of the bed?" I come across as nosey but I'm just curious."Comfier for me I guess" she says while looking away.We've b
