The girl with stars in her eyes

Chapter 9

"Thank you for coming here today to our son Theo's 15th birthday party," Jaxon, the alpha of our pack, said as he held his arms around Rachel.

"So, tell us now, have you found your mate?" Jaxon asked him. Theo looked super uncomfortable as he stood there whit all the people in the room staring at him.

He nodded slowly as he looked down at his feet. I couldn't help to feel a little bad for him.

"Where is she?" Jaxon asked. Theo bit his lip and then took a deep breath. "Dad... She rejected me..." Theo said. I heard gasps all around the room.

"Who would reject a soon to be alpha?" I heard someone murmur.

Me. I would. Or, I did.

"What?" Jaxon said angrily. I smiled a bit. "She did what?" Jaxon asked again when his son wouldn't answer.

"She rejected me," Theo said a bit more confident. He now looked up at his dad.

"Who is this girl?" Jaxon asked. He was super angry. Please, please don't say my name Theo! My life would be ruined.

But to my luck Theo just shook his head. Medeleine, who stood next to me, seemed a bit angry too.

'Why are you angry?' I mind linked her and she looked at me.

'Because the girl who was meant to be our future luna and my brothers mate rejected him!' She answered as if it was obvious. I just mentally rolled my eyes at it. Well yeah, its kind of stupid ti reject a soon-to-be alpha but I really don't like Theo.

Jaxon looked like he could go up on the roof and just simply stomp the building down at any moment. Thankfully Rachel was there to calm him. I couldn't hear what they were saying even though I tried listening.

"We need to find this girl and talk to her," Jaxon raised his voice, probably getting angrier. Oh god, this is it. Theo is going to point me out and Jaxon is going to rip my face of and make it a decoration to have in his living room.

"Is she from the pack?" Jaxon asked Theo, who still stood awkwardly in a uncomfortable position. My wolf wanted to go and wrap our arms around him, but that would be super weird. Plus, they would find out that I am that girl Jaxon wants to kill. Or maybe Im overreacting a bit.

Theo nodded slowly and bit his lip. I felt a bit sad for him, I had ruined his birthday party for gods sake!

"Is she in this room?" Jaxon asked him. There was not many girls in here, perhaps fifteen. And at least eight of them had mates.

"Dad," Theo said and looked at his father. "Calm down," He said. But Jaxon won't calm down in quite some time. I just want to leave this room and get some fresh air right now. But I can't, it will seam too suspicious.

Jaxon punched a hole in a wall and left. Leaving Theo all by himself, with everybody staring at him. "Awkward," I heard Martin, Theo's best friend say. Everybody started to laugh, leaving the tense feeling behind us.

"Open your presents dude!" His other friend said. After almost two years being away from here I seem to have forgotten his name.

"Yeah," Theo said as he walked to the table where all his presents laid. He picked up a box rapped in some kind of purple paper and started to rip it opened. Inside of the box was a pair of black vans. He opened the rest of the presents and thanked people for them. Travis gave him a pillow whit his face on it as a "prank".

The rest of the presents I didn't really care about. Instead I went out to get that fresh air I so desperately wanted a minute ago. I breathed in the oxygen as I was standing against the house wall.

"What are you doing outside? The party is in there," A familiar voice said.

"Sorry for ruining your party," I said and he let out a laugh. This party wasn't really going to be the party you reminded as "It was super fun, with no flaws at all!" it was going to be reminded as "The awkward party whit a dad who rage quitted".

"Its okey..." He stood just about a meter to my left. We were both looking out against the road. "I ruined Madeleine's 15th birthday part," He stated.

"In which way did you ruin hers?" I looked up at his eyes but honestly I wish I wouldn't have. Instead I looked back at the road in front if the house.

"After throwing that mug of soda on you, not on purpose though, and you stormed out Maddie got so mad at me. She wouldn't even talk to me for almost a week." He said as it was the worst thing that could ever happen to him.

"Theo!" One of his friends shouted from the house door, wanting him to come in. It is his party after all.

"I better be going. Bye," He said and leaned towards me. Perhaps to kiss me. Didn't he know what it meant to be rejected? He must know, but maybe the thought of me being able to give him a change even though I rejected him might have given him some hope. But no, I am not giving him a change. Instead I backed away a few steps. "Bye," I said as I slowly started walking home. No way I was going to stay here at this boring party, which I clearly ruined.

... Whit out anyone knowing it was me. That sounds really weird when I say it.

As I walked beside the road kicking a stone I heard a car. It drove some meters in front of me before stopping. Is this when I get kidnapped by some creepy dude and he almost kills me and then some hot guy comes in saving me like it is some kind of book? No, that doesn't happen in real life... I think.

I stopped walking in my thoughts and got back to reality. The red Volvo, which looked really old, was standing still. I couldn't see the driver through the dark windows.

"Stella?" I heard someone saying after the back door of the car opened. Jeez, people are really wearing my name out. Now I get why people say "Yes, thats my name. Don't wear it out" because thats whats happening with mine.

"Stella? Is that you?" The girl who stood in front of me wasn't one I recognized. She was really pretty though.

"It depends on how many Stella's you know," I answered and took a glance at her. She had a lot of freckles and her hair was brown-ish. It was kind of orange too. For some reason I didn't recognize her, but apparently she recognized me.

"I only know one. But one day she disappeared," The girl said. So she knew me? Why couldn't I remember her then? "You look just like her, except the hair. She had dark brown hair and not blue," She stated pointing at my hair whit her finger.

"Maybe she dyed it?" I said making her stare at me. It was really cold outside and it started to get dark. Everything I want right now is to cuddle up in my bed and sleep for the whole night and day. Even though its school tomorrow, and I will probably get forced to go there.

"Oh my god. Its really you!" She was really happy by the looks of it. Too bad I can't remember her.

"Soooo... I've forgotten loads of names and faces..." I began. This girl looked to be the same age as me, I hope she is going to the same school as I went to before. So I will have at least one friend.

"Oh, Im sorry. I was new at school when you disappeared. But we sat together at lunch and we talked about our wolves... Amelia," We looked at each other for a bit. So I've told her about my wolf? Then she must be the only one who knows about how it looks.

"Amelia! Mom is waiting for us to come pick her up!" A guy shouts from the car. He is probably the one driving.

"Coming!" She shouted back at him. "Bye, I'll see you in school?"

"Yeah," I answer as she goes back to the car. That was weird.
