PERKS of REJECTED MATE

Chapter 7 - The First Confrontation

TYRONE POV

When Dad announced the bite ritual I wanted to rip Marcel's head off. His arm is around my mate's shoulder and my wolf is itching to claim her.

"Tyrone will you stop growling and pay attention!" Mom hissed at me.

"Right sorry Mom I didn't mean to do that." I lowered my head.

"What's wrong with you?" Mom studied me.

"I just felt tired and a little headache." I lied swiftly again.

Tonight lying is being my habit and I knew Mom will have my head if I keep this up.

"Your father is calling you... now go." Mom nudged me.

I marched towards the platform again and saw Marcel let go of my mate. That's right keep your hands away from her! Damn it! Why do I act like a love sick puppy and a whipped?!

'Because you want her.' My wolf pestered me again.

'Shut it!' I snarled.

Since we will be doing the mindlink ritual I can't block my wolf. Once Marcel is on the stage he pulled up his shirt and showed his hip where my bite takes place. All male members who wish to be a part of a pack have the same procedure unlike with females. Their bite will be on their neck to show our dominance while the latter its equality.

I sank my canine just enough for Marcel to accept the pack link. It was followed by a tribal tattoo with the symbol of our pack and a wolf on his left shoulder.

"I now officially proclaimed Marcel Olympia as our new pack member. Congratulations!" I affirmed.

"Thank you very much Alpha." He bowed his head.

The crowd cheered and he went back to his table while I'm trying to forget what I saw earlier. I went to the buffet table and grabbed some food.

"Tyrone, you're dad and I wants to talk to you. Do you have a minute?" Mom creased her eyebrows.

"Sure Mom." I replied.

"Now that you're the Alpha do you have someone in mind to be your Beta?" Dad cleared his throat.

"I haven't thought of it yet since I only arrived today unless you have someone you can suggest?" I inquired back.

"Yes and we want to know if you're okay with Marcel?" Mom responds.

"Oh... of course but will he be able to handle the responsibilities being a Beta?" I gripped my plate tighter.

"I trained him for five years and he know that boy too well. A little help from you and your fighting skills will surely get him a grip." Dad assured me.

Great! I'm not against about my parents' idea but the fact he is with my mate bothers me a lot! This means we will be in training grounds together and I will see my mate flirting with her boyfriend! Then again this will be my chance to torture him what a total payback!

"I guess he will fit on the position I'll talk to him later about it and the training." I nod.

"Good! By the way I would like you to meet one of his sisters." Mom is full of energy today.

Meeting anyone that's related to him is making me riled up so I don't think I want to meet his sisters yet. I think I'm starting to hate him and his siblings but I won't tell my parents about that.

"Mom, I'm kinda hungry can we... uhmm... maybe... take a break? I'm starving." I avoided the chance.

"Of course! Go fill up your plate I'll get back on you later." Mom dismissed me.

From the corner of my eye I saw my mate talking to girl how ironic she was the one who inquired about the mate part. They seem to be in deep conversation and I couldn't help but wonder if she told her I'm her mate. One of the advantages of being a werewolf is the sensitivity of hearing. We can listen and hear from miles away if we want and can isolate it and aimed only a certain sound. I pretended I'm busy with my food but in truth my ears are widely open.

".. You and Marcel are doing great job like parents do." The girl asserts.

"Sometimes it's just hard to raise her but we're glad Marco and Alexia shows love for Minerva." My mate's voice this time.

I flashed my gaze at the food and somehow it made me lost my appetite so I just grabbed a can of beer from the cooler.

'Who is Minerva?' My wolf became alive again.

'How the f*ck should I know?' I balled my fist.

'Why don't you follow her and ask?!' Owen pitched grumpily.

'Leave it I'm not interested.' I'm crushing the can right now.

'If that guy marked her tonight I'll blame you.' Owen fired back.

The thought of her arms wrapped around him is already making me furious what more if Marcel claims her?!

'She can't be! She's mine!' I growled.

'What are you waiting for?! Go man up you idiot!' He ordered.

'You're pain in my ass sometimes.' I cracked up.

'Says the one? Now go follow her!' Owen huffed.

'Fine!' I grunted.

She entered the hallway and I followed her hastily. The moment I caught her arm she panicked.  I didn't expect she knows how to defend herself.

"It's me calm down." I whispered.

She instantly relax while my façade my act denying the first physical contact we had.  For mates once they met and touched like holding hands it will intensify the pull. Their bond will strengthen and it can't be avoided unless one or both of them rejects each other.

"You are... my mate." She blurted out.

"Walk with me to the balcony." I gestured my head.

We reached the uncrowded and secluded place silently but I'm not ready to let her arm go.

"Can you let go of my arm please you're hurting me." She wiggled it.

I loosen my grip and slipped my hand on her waist. I can feel her shiver with my touch just liked how she is doing to me.

'Beautiful mate.' Owen came out again.

"What's your name mate?" I touched her face.

"Diana." She talked softly.

She is the most beautiful woman I saw with the most beautiful name I ever heard. Her piercing blue eyes and black hair makes me want her so much. I think I'm already in love with her. Oh no! I can't the only reason why we are here is to talk to her.

"Listen to me you're not uttering a single word to anyone. Do you understand?" I used my Alpha tone.

"Why?" She simply stated.

I forgot she is not yet officially our pack member since I havent claim her so it will not affect her adding up that she is my mate it's useless. She appeared shocked but stayed strong. I got a feisty mate and I just want to kiss her.

Oh damn! Maybe this is just the pull and bond talking. I can't do anything to shut it off easily unless I mate with other woman.

"Because I don't want a mate." I pushed her a little too hard.
