My Second Chance At Love

2

The day goes on normally, like any other day on campus, going through my lessons as normal: English (my second favourite) as well as Maths and Welsh with my other favourite teachers.

When it comes to lunch time, we all meet up and enter the canteen together.

We sit down at our usual table and just start our normal lunchtime chat; we picked the topics at random so there was no telling what we were going to chat about today.

We were having our lunches as Olly complains about his science teacher, Mr. Greggs, and how he thinks that he hates him as Mr. Greggs is, purposefully, only giving Olly detention for simple things like asking his lab partner a question about the work they were doing.

While I am taking my food out of my lunch box, drowning out Olly's endless complaining, and just about to take a bite out of my sandwich, I am, suddenly and rudely interrupted by a deep "You, girl!" that comes from behind me and the scent from this morning, as I came into college, hits my nose once again.

My wolf starts running in circles in my head and repeating "Mate, Mate."

I spin around in my seat and I am face to face, or should I rather say face to chest, with my pack's alpha, Alpha Jackson.

***

He is the most feared, ruthless and dangerous Alpha in the country, and he never speaks to anyone of our rank, that is, until he needs something. If he ever does, you know you're in trouble.

***

I quickly think of something to say, "A Alpha, is there s something you n need?" I stutter, in fear.

"Come with me" he demands.

I nod and warily say goodbye to my friends, afraid of what he's going to do with me.

I hurriedly pack my lunch into my bag and follow him out of the canteen.

He leads me to a classroom where no one else is in and which, apparently, he's allowed to go into.

He stops, turns around, leaning on the teacher's desk, "Is it true that you are my mate?" he asks with an unamused expression on his face.

I just nod in response, too afraid to say anything.

He looks at me, his eyes moving up and down, as if assessing me and then a look of disgust appears on his face, "I can't accept you, you are far too weak, w****! You are a shame to the pack. I cannot believe that I have such a weakling in me pack! Why would the Moon Goddess pick such a runt to be my mate? You are, without question, not fit to be Luna of my pack! I, Alpha Austin Lawrence Jackson, hereby reject you Katherine Brooklyn Jones as my mate" his tone of voice hard, strident, void of any sorrow or remorse.

Before he can exit the room, I declare, in a strong voice, surprising myself, given that he just rejected me, ripped my heart out of me chest and tore it to pieces, "I Katheryn Brooklyn Jones accept your rejection, Alpha Austin Lawrence Jackson" with my head held high as I hold back my sorrow, not wanting to show him, how much he actually hurt me.

He stops for a mere second and I begin to think that he's going to turn around and hit me or something like that, due to me accepting his rejection, no doubt not expecting me to do so, but he doesn't, he just exits the classroom and slams the door behind him.

Once I'm sure he's gone and can't hear me, I let out a cry of pain, the feeling as if my soul had been ripped out of my body and ripped apart, as I fall to the ground and cry.

I feel empty, like my life has been sucked out of me and the pain is so unbearable.

I stayed there, left in the classroom, shock evident on my face as I fully come to terms with what just happened.
