Not Wanted

Chapter 3: Frustration

Sebastian

Sebastian turned to the barman named Damien who was grinning from ear to ear. Don't get excited buddy I am trying to find a way of rejecting her without hurting her, he inwardly groaned.

"Petra is a good woman, she just got stuck with someone she thinks is way out of her league and he has a habit of pointing out everything she does 'wrong'. It's made her kinda, well not her." Damien said without prompting as he started work on their drinks. "I mean I guess they've been together for a while and the other boyfriends she had were not winners so in her eyes he is the best she could ever expect so she gets a little defensive.

"Not winners how?" Sebastian asked. He couldn't help himself.

"Just using her for sex, cheating on her just in general pigs. She's got a heart of gold but she keeps that thing locked up tight and second guesses herself at every turn." Damien sighed handing Sebastian the drinks.

"So Tony falls under what category?"

"He's a good guy but he has certain expectations and if she doesn't meet them he lets her know, have you asked her why her boyfriend is away with friends without her?"

"Yes, she said because she is-"

"Embarrassing, too loud, too much for people, talks too much, can be annoying, doesn't make enough of an effort....I could go on but..." Damien took a deep breath. "She won't fuck you, she's not in to one night stands or cheating on her boyfriend." Sebastian eyed the bartender, the conversation went south quick.

"I wasn't looking for a one night stand or a fuck, I just wanted to know her a bit better." Sebastian replied hating that he was having to defend his reasons for wanting to know his mate.

"There are other women here you can sate your needs with, Petra doesn't need a hormone filled Alp-"

"Watch your tone." Sebastian cut him off barely holding back a growl. Damien bowed his head and showed his neck in submission. Sebastian handed Damien the money for the drinks before picking them both up and taking them back to where his mate was still watching the goddamn television. She may not be what he wanted, she certainly didn't fit the gorgeous Luna he had been expecting, she wasn't demure and for some reason didn't feel the need to show him any kind of respect. 

That had him even more curious. The truth was even as a human she should have felt his status; she should have felt his dominance over her and yet she had shrugged him off like he was nothing but a nuisance. Women never shrugged him off. 

He sat back down and handed her the drink he had bought her. "Thanks handsome." She beamed at him and his cock twitched at the gesture. Fuck, he needed to get a grip. 

"Hey Seb, we've been invited to a-" Nico stood at the end of the small sofa and eyed Sebastian's mate, Nico apparently saw something he liked as he produced his thousand watt smile. "Sorry didn't realise you had company." Nicole walked round to where Petra sat and thrust his hand forward. Nico knew exactly where Sebastian was he just wanted to make sure he wasn't missing out on anything.  "I'm Nico."

"Petra." She returned Nico's smile and it took all of Sebastian's strength not to pummel his Beta to the ground. Their hands held a little too long and Sebastian felt himself shift in his seat, as if that broke some kind of bond Petra yanked her hand from Nico's. "Nice to meet you." 

"Back at you beautiful." He winked and this time Sebastian did growl as he watched Petra flush at Nico's compliment. "Well I take it I will be accompanying the ladies myself tonight then." Nico turned to him one of his dark eyebrows cocked. Sebastian didn't answer, he was furious with his Beta, so he didn't want his mate that didn't mean his Beta could muscle in on her. "Well it was nice to meet you Petra, see you later then Seb." Nico was grinning like a kid at Christmas as he sauntered off. 

"I'm a big girl handsome you don't have to stay with me." Petra giggled sipping her wine. He really didn't need to sit with her so he had no idea why he hadn't followed his Beta and got some hot, easy ass. 

"I want to stay with you." The words were out before he could control his wolf. She turned to look at him then and laughed.

"You should let your face know that then." She winked at him the gesture going straight to his groin. he shifted in his seat trying to allow for his unwanted straining hard-on, he hoped like hell she didn't notice. 

"Not afraid to say what you're thinking huh." He stated more than asked. He saw her body stiffen for a second before she relaxed again.

"One of my many talents." She offered keeping her eyes trained on the idiot box. He didn't like the sadness to her tone that he was sure she thought she had hidden, she had been brash and bold since he had joined her and even at the bar but there was an underlying sadness he couldn't quite place. 

Sebastian moved his arm so it was over the back of the small sofa, there really wasn't a lot of room on the thing, not that his wolf was complaining her scent surrounded him and with each breath he took it calmed and welcomed him. He sipped at his beer and felt Petra beginning to lean against him. His body tingled from the light contact and his tense muscles had begun to relax. 

Damien appeared with more drinks which meant Petra had realised she had been leaning into him, she sat up straight pulling her sock covered feet underneath herself, how was that even comfortable?

"Thanks D." Petra smiles though her voice sounds a little more husky than it had been earlier the sound reverberating straight to his manhood. It frustrated him no end how this woman, who was plain to say the least, was affecting him.

"No worries baby girl." Damien smiled back and without thought Sebastian omitted a low growl at the male for calling her baby girl, shit he needed to pull himself together.
