Chapter 4

Grayson:

Oh! It's the magnificent Prince Gabriel. Please note the sarcasm. 

"Bruh, I thought you found your mate already!" I say. He just glares at me.

"Yeah, it's you. I, Gabriel Daemon Lupa hereby accept you as my mate," He states. Ew, no.

"Nope, I'm out. Peace!" I say, walking towards the door. He jumped in front of me, blocking the door. 

"Come on, I thought we were cool, man. I thought you rejected me, and we were going to live happily freely after," I say.

"Sorry, but I changed my mind."

"What if I reject you?" I ask.

"Pffft... I dare you," he says.

​​​​

"Well, a dare is a dare... I,-" I started, but was cut off by him jumping on my and covering my mouth with his hand. 

"No, if you reject me, I will not hesitate to mark you right here," He growls. I try to respond, but my voice is muffled by his hand.

"What's your name?" He asks, removing his hand.

"Uh, Francesca," I lie. He furrows his eyebrows.

"Are you saying the truth?" He asks suspiciously.

"Yeahhh..." I lie again. 

"I can tell you're lying. Now tell me, what's your name?" He asks once again.

"Allie," I say. 

"You're still lying," he said.

"Now tell me your real name," he says, using his Alpha tone. 

"Ohhhh, he used his Alpha tone, im so scared..." I mock him. 

"What? How can you deny my Alpha tone?" He asks.

"Alpha tones don't work on other Alphas dumbass," I snap. He looks shocked,

"You're an Alpha?" He asks.

"Well, not anymore..." I say. My position as the future Alpha was taken away from me when my parents died. 

"Correct. Now you are a Luna," he says, kissing my forehead.

"HOLY FUCK EW THAT'S SO DISGUSTING DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN OH MY GOD THAT'S ACTUALLY THE GROSSEST THING EVER!!!" I scream in disgust, wiping off my forehead. I wish I could peel the skin of my forehead off... I need to disinfect my forehead, actually, my entire body. Also maybe get a cooty shot. And a every other disease shot. And a new dagger would be great. 

"Calm down... I wonder how you'll react when I kiss you, or when I'll mark you, or when I'll mate with you," he says.

"Um, I'm not going to react because we'll never kiss, you'll never mark me, and we definitely won't mate with each other," I reply.

"What would you do if I kiss you right now?" He asks, bringing his face a little closer. I instinctively slap him right in the face. He glares at me angrily, and I slap him again. He pins me down on the bed, holding my wrists above my head. He leans in, and I kick him 'where the sun don't shine'. 

I immediately lets lets me go, holding his... Whatever you guys call it. I make a run, going through a random door. Fuck... This is his bathroom. I quickly lock the door.

"Open the door, love," Prince Gabriel says, knocking the door.

"My name is not 'love'. I'll open the door when you say my actual name," I say, smirking. He doesn't know my name, so I'll never open the door.

"You know I can just break this door down, right?" He asks me. 

"Whatever. I mean like, a little privacy would be nice maybe?" I respond. 

"Ill give you your privacy if you tell me your name," He says. 

"What if my name is Gabrielle?" I ask him.

"That'll be cool. Even if it's not Gabrielle, I hope it at least starts with a G," He says. Gray... Fuck, that starts with a G...

"Nope, my name starts with a Q," I lie. 

"Is your name Quinn?" He asks.

"Yup!" I lie again.

"You're lying," He growls.

"I feel like if I tell you my real name, you'll just say that I'm lying, like always," I say. 

"Well, at least I know your last name," He declares.

"Hmm? Then what is it?" I ask.

"Lupa," He replies. 

"Do you think I'm like your sister or something?" I ask him. He chuckles.

"No, you're my wife," He simply says, like it was no big deal.

"Well, fiancé," He adds.

"The fuck? No way! And my last name stays as it is!" I yell.

"What is your last name?" He asks.

"Vas- Wait no! Umm, it's Woods. Yeah, Quinn Woods," I lie. Phew, that was close, I almost said my actual last name.

"Liar. If you're going to reject me, you're gonna have to say your full name," He states.

"Well, you already rejected me, and I accepted it, so..." I reply.

"But you didn't say your full name while accepting the rejection, so it doesn't count," He says. Fuck...

"IGRAYSONEMBERVASQUEZLOPEZHEREBYACCEPTYOURREJECTION!" I say so quickly, I didn't even understand what I was saying. "Haha! Now it counts!"

"I... Could you please repeat it? I didn't hear your name," He asks desperately.

"Nope," I reply. He sighs loudly. I sat on the counter for a while, editing my selfies, when suddenly the door opens. Prince Gabriel simply walks  in and sits down next to me.

"Umm, rude?" I say.

"Sorry, but you were taking too long," He says. I sigh and walk out the bathroom, then realize; this is my chance to escape! I sprint out the door, and down the stairs. While, I was running through the crowds, I bump into someone. It's the freaking King... Great...

"Hey, aren't you my son's mate?" He asks me. Before I could answer, Prince Gabriel appears out of nowhere.

"Yeah, she is," He says. Well not for long anyway...

"Well son, I'd like you to introduce her to the pack, and all the other packs here," The King says. Seriously? I mean, I'm gonna escape anyway...

"Sure thing!" Prince Gabriel replies. He legit drags me to the stage. The whole place becomes silent, and everyone looks at us.

I frantically look around for my aunt. Once I see her, she rolls her eyes and look away. I furrow my eyebrows at her. Oh yeah, she was pretending she doesn't know me just because I'm not wearing a stupid dress...

"Today, I found my mate. I'd like her to introduce herself," Prince Gabriel says, handing me the mic.

"Umm, well I'm the girl who just caused a scene, and almost killed your beloved 'Prince' and that other dude. I guess I'm also the girl who's not wearing a dress," I state. Prince Gabriel grabs the microphone from me.

"And her name is...?" He asks, handing me the mic.

"Uhh... My name? It's, uhh... I-I forgot..." I babble. Everyone looks at me with wide eyes, including my aunt.

"Does anyone here know her name??" Prince Gabriel asks. I tense up and look at my aunt. She was looking away, thankfully. My sister... Oh! She's making out with some guy in the back! So she's too distracted. Success!

"Uhh, I'll tell you guys when I remember it..." I lie. I was getting quite anxious... Ugh, I hate anxiety. I blow cool air on the back of my thumb, a trick I learned in middle-school.

"Well, I hope everyone has a good night," Prince Gabriel says. I nod in agreement, and run off the stage. Prince Gabriel grabs my hand and pulls me back.

"Well, your escape plan backfired, didn't it?" He asks me teasingly.

"Shut up," I reply.

"And wow, good exuse for not telling me your name. «I forgot my name.», classic, right?" He continues to tease me.

"Shh, don't talk, no one asked you to talk," I say, putting my index finger on his lips. He kisses my finger.

"Ew, what's wrong with you??" I yell, wiping my finger on his shirt. He chuckles and winks at me in response. I roll my eyes. This guy is really pissing me off...
