The Power of Two: Taekook Werewolf short

Part 2

"I, Choi Minho, reject you, Kim Taehyung as my mate."

"I, Kim Taehyung, accept your rejection."

The pain that slashed right through the blue-eyed, silver haired Taehyung's (25) heart nearly made him crumble, but he would NOT show this arrogant shit Alpha that he was hurt. He would NOT cry in front of him. Fuck Choi Minho!

Turning away, he saw his estranged sister, Jenni, smirking at him, while walking to Minho. What the hell was she doing here? She was not even in this pack anymore.

"Darling, finally, now you are free, and we can be together." Her syrupy voice sounded like nails on a black board to Tae. Shock ran together with pain through his body. What the hell is going on, she is mated to an Alpha of another pack, but here she is, calling Minho, Tae's ex-future bonded mate, darling?

Not being able to keep back his whimpers much longer, he walked swiftly out of the hall, grinding his teeth to keep the noise in.

Reaching his small house, he grabbed his clothes, stuffing them into a bag, grabbed the photo of his parents and any other small mementos he could. He was not returning here, ever again.

Quickly throwing some fruit, rolls and water into another bag, he rushed outside to his car. He knew he did not have a lot of time. The moment Minho's grandfather found out about the rejection all hell will break loose. And Tae did not want to be around when that happens, he will not be forced into a bond he does not want anymore, for no reason in the world.

Heaven knows he had tried to see the bonding with Minho in a positive light, he really did, but the spinelessness and arrogance of the Alpha really ground down on his determination. Even though he was never sure if he wanted the bond, the pain accompanying a rejection didn't ask if you wanted the bond or not, it just hurt like hell either way.

He started his car and left in a rain of gravel. He drove out of the pack grounds, turning north, the obvious direction to get to the big towns, just in case someone came after him. The further he went, the less the pain became.

After a few miles, he turned west on smaller country roads, back tracking until he came out further south of the pack grounds. He continued going south and east, a destination in his mind. He finally let the tears flow, the hurt, the disappointment, the embarrassment. Being a rejected Omega was the worst humiliation he could ever think off. Not to be wanted for who he was, that really hit hard. He had to leave it all behind him. No amount of loyalty was worth this. He had to find his own road now, build his own life.

Meanwhile, back at the pack:

Grandfather Choi came into the hall for the celebration of his grandson's intended bonding with the Omega Kim Taehyung, only to see that Jenni person hanging onto his grandson, again.

Everyone respected Grandfather Choi, even though he was not Alpha anymore, he was still very intimidating.

"Minho!" the old man's voice thundered through the hall, forcing everyone to be quiet.

"Why is that girl here again, and where is Taehyung? Let's start the ceremony."

Minho walked to his grandfather, Jenni trailing behind him.

"Grandfather, I rejected Taehyung, and he accepted my rejection. I don't want a pathetic Omega as my mate and Luna, I chose Jenni, a Beta. I love her, not Taehyung."

Grandpa Choi looked at his grandson, did this boy never listen to anything he and his parents told him about honour and seeing the truth?

Shaking his head "Minho, you never listened did you..."
