Life In the Shadows

The Unlovable

Salem stared in complete shock while I had them in my office preparing tea. Takeshi looked around the place, this man... he is absolutely perfect. My heart thumped heavily in my chest while I tried ignoring his presence. I had taken him into the house showing him his room while allowing him to wash up. Thankful, Salem wasn't in too much shock and a dick to lended Takeshi some clothes to wear. I brought the tea over to the table while Salem quickly reached over grabbing his cup. I must have been a tad late on his rejection tea. I gave Salem a small smile of sadness. I held out Takeshi's so he could get comfortable. Takeshi gave me a weird look while looking over at Salem. Salem had already gone through half of his cup. His body automatically relaxed with his eyes closed, I felt a bit guilty and wondered why he hadn't said anything about it. Salem looked over the rim of his cup while I saw the relief in his eyes. They soon widen noticing we were both looking at him. It was quite cute to be honest, I swore through his douche bag exterior he was a little kid. Salem took the cup off his lips trying act cool again. I placed Takeshi's tea on the table in front of him while grabbing my glass and finally relaxed for once today. Takeshi still was looking at Salem while he says

"I do not want to be a burden to your pack, Salem. I am most thankful for the hospitality you given so far and for your mate to find me..."

Salem all too soon spits his tea out covering a portion of my papers in tea spots, completely interrupting Takeshi. My eyes widen in almost horror, he thought I was his mate, my god! I quickly grabbed a napkin patting down my papers. I get why he thinks Salem is the Alpha, yes it was extremely sexist yet it was all too common to get mad at it anymore. It was a waste of time to even get upset at that anymore. Seriously, I would be a bitter woman if I let that affect me. I chuckled deeply while Salem was muttering profanities wiping his face with a napkin. Takeshi gave us a weird look making me laugh a bit more. Salem finally snapped out of it while saying in complete shock.

"Psh I wish I was Alpha, that one over there is... As well as not my mate no offense Vex, your an amazing person but you scare the shit out of me at times."

I chuckled deeply again, I was terrifying in a lot of people's eyes. It kind of came with my demon side, it sent a bad aura to most people that can sense those things. Takeshi looked over at me with a deep frown. I finally calmed down while placing my tea cup on the table. I smiled kindly at him saying

"I am Alpha Vexin. Do not fret, it always happens and it no longer offends me. I am the creator of the Demon Blood pack, and no the only one who is part demon is me."

I paused for a brief second allowing it to set in his mind before I continued.

"My father is Ra himself and my grandfather is Set. I was mostly werewolf my whole life till I was rejected at the age of seventeen. I have yet been able to reject him back, I was saved by my trainer since I was young and his wife who was sent by the Goddess of the Moon to save me. The deal was for me to take the title of the Goddess of the Rejects from the moon goddess for the sparing of my life. I am forever in her debt... it is my place in this world to love the unlovables, to nurture those who have been shunned or hated. My pack is here for anyone and everyone, my goal is to give those a second chance at hope and love. All I ask of you, if you do stay, is help protect my pack... if you believe I am in the wrong on a fight feel free to not pretake in it as all my pack members are allowed to do."

Takeshi looked away from the word love making my heart cringe in pain, he had been rejected and was graced with the power to reject her back. I kept on talking till I had everything out and on the table. I didn't like to beat around the bush, I wanted to be straight forwards with everyone. I gave him a small minute again to give it time to seep through also preparing myself for the question I was about to ask. I took a deep breath looking straight at him. I then asked unintentionally without think of the answer
