Falling For You

Chapter 2: Parties and Threats

I ran out the door and raced down the stairs with Crystal high on my tail.

"Miley!" She said running after me.

I reached the end of the stairs and bumped into my mom.

"Miley! What's the rush?" She asked while stepping back to look at me, "Oh my gosh, you're so beautiful."

"It's him.." I said looking both her and Crystal dead in the eye.

"Where?!" My mom said frantically looking around.

"I'm not sure, I just smelled him." I said crossing my arms, "I'm going back up for a small jacket. Don't wait up!" I said walking back upstairs.

I walked into my room leaving the door cracked and started searching for my grey button up sweater.

I heard footsteps coming up, thinking it was Crystal. "I told you to go ahead to the party."

"You.." A growl came from behind me.

The door shut, as I spun around.

"Cole?" I said but before I either of us could say another word the smell hit me.

I looked him dead in the eyes, before he said the one thing I'd feared all my life.

"I, Cole Summers, Reject--"

"NO!" I interrupted him, "Cole! Don't you dare do this to me!" Tears were building on my eyes.

"Mi--"

"Please....." I whispered plopping down on the edge of my bed.

"Miley...." He said stepping closer.

"What..." I said growling.

"I have to do this."

"Why?" I said looking up.

As soon as our eyes met, I could see the pain in his until he pushed it away.

"I reject my mate." He said in a monotone voice before leaving.

I stared at the door for what seemed like infinity waiting for him to come back.

"Miley? You all right up here sweetie?" My moms voice came through the door.

"M-Mom?" My voice croaked.

The door swung open to reveal my mom, along with Crystal.
They both rushed to my side as soon as they saw me.

I was bombarded with questions.

"H-He Rej-jected me." I croaked out once more.

My makeup was running down my face.

My mom grabbed my hands standing up, "Come on, let's get you fixed up and go have some fun."

"Yeah!" Crystal said agreeing with her.

My mom helped get my makeup ready, then left after a few minutes.

"Who is he?" She asked as she fixed my blush.

"Cole Summers." I said growling his name as it were poison.

"Cole.....He's the new Alpha of the new pack. You'll be Alpha soon, so you'll have to see him a lot." She said.

"Great."

I stood up and checked the mirror one last time before taking Crystal's hand.
"At least we still have one mate to find."

She blushed and grabbed my other hand, "and you need a man, who will make you forget Cole."

We practically dragged each other to the ballroom.
