The Alphas REJECTED Assassin

I REJECTED You !

                        Chapter 2 *Adelaide POV*

“Over the years, I have come to realize that the greatest trap in our life is not success, popularity, or power, but self-rejection. Success, popularity, and power can indeed present a great temptation, but their seductive quality often comes from the way they are part of the much larger temptation to self-rejection. When we have come to believe in the voices that call us worthless and unlovable, then success, popularity, and power are easily perceived as attractive solutions. The real trap, however, is self-rejection. As soon as someone accuses me or criticizes me, as soon as I am rejected, left alone, or abandoned, I find myself thinking, "Well, that proves once again that I am a nobody." ... [My dark side says,] I am no good... I deserve to be pushed aside, forgotten, rejected, and abandoned. Self-rejection is the greatest enemy of the spiritual life because it contradicts the sacred voice that calls us the "Beloved." Being the Beloved constitutes the core truth of our existence.”  ― Henri J.M. Nouwen

            After two years of running with my pack from all across the nation I decided that we needed to settle down before the council declare us as rouges. The Dusk Blood pack was known as the strongest packs in the world put together, but sadly after my father died and I became Alpha I wanted things to be different. I called the second strongest pack in the world Blood Moon Pack. Arranging the peace treaty was a little hard since my father was betrayed with one of his allies, but we have the upper hand if they do betray us. It would only take us maybe twelve hours to get to Maine, but the only thing that I’m dreading is finding my mate in high school. I am 29 years old and I would feel like a pedophile if my mate is only fifteen; sometimes I wish I had what my father had when he met my mother. Looking back in my past it really hard to accept that the people that promised to be there for you forever is actually gone. Today was our last day in our hometown; I’ll miss Australia, but most importantly I’m going to miss visiting my parents grave every day and telling them what I’ve accomplish, I mind-linked everyone “We are done running from destiny. Pack your bags and be ready in 10 minutes we’re heading to Maine,” I knew some was happy while others were still a bit optimistic about the situation. By the time tomorrow we will be the strongest pack again and I wanted to finish what my father started even if it meant rejecting my mate tomorrow. I can’t afford a weak Luna and after I heard rumors of a witch working with a vampire to sabotage werewolves and witches alike I needed to be alerted and aware.

We arrived in Maine around morning, but since me and the kids had to attend school I wasn’t allowed to meet with the Alpha to speak of this witch, even though I know who she is already. When we got to Moon High many people surrounded my beta and I immediately. Being an alpha and all I was flattered with the attention they were giving me.

As soon as I stepped foot in the building, I smelled the most amazing scent ever; it was strawberries and hazelnut, even though that was a weird combination I knew  that my mate was here, It was faint so I assumed she just left for class, but I hoping she was in some of my courses. Sadly, my mate wasn’t in any of my classes so far which put my wolf on edge. I needed to get away from these teacher; I slipped out of class in the middle of her lecture; once again I caught my mates scent again, “MATE, MATE, MATE!!” my wolf chanted. I rounded the corner to bump into the witch that killed her father; my eyes landed on her and my wolf went crazy. You have got to be fucking kidding me, I thought to myself. Nikolai Boursier the vampire lover and a danger to her own people is my mate. I know my father would have hate me for what I’m about to do, but I can't have a Luna like her especially since my pack  would go against me. “Please don’t do what I think you’re going to do. Don’t REJECT our mate,” my wolf yelled.

“Onyx, you don't understand what the pack would do to us if they found out that this witch is our mate. Mate or not I don’t her and you have to accept that,” I said.

“Your parents would be so disappointed with you,” my wolf said as she cut the link between us. How rude! I looked at her with distaste; I couldn’t let anyone know she was my mate, I dragged her to the back of the school and I knew I might regret this, but it had to be done.

“Look, I don’t want you as a mate, look at yourself, you’re fat, ugly, weak and a murder. You have none of the qualities needed to be my Luna especially after you killed your father for a bloodsucker.  Anyway I wouldn’t get with a pregnant witch even if my life depended on it. You are a worthless piece of shit that will never be loved by anyone. You will tell no one of this or I’ll have you banished from these lands. I Adelaide Rousseau, Alpha of the Dusk Blood pack, reject the Nikolai Le Boursier of the Wood bane Clan. Get out of my sight. NOW!”

“I, Nikolai Le Boursier of the Wood bane Clan, Accept Adelaide Rousseau, Alpha of the Dusk Blood pack Rejection,” I’m not going to lie that shit hurt like a bitch, my wolf howled in pain; I just walked away from my broke mate.

“I can’t believe she didn’t wait for us,” My wolf growled.

“She isn’t my mate and she can fuck anybody she wants to,” I knew I was lying when I said I didn’t care, but I can’t be  with her so who cares anyway; my wolf obviously,  I wanted my mate but Nikolai couldn’t be the one I’m destined to be with. I walked into the cafeteria to find Nikolai step-brother with his pack. Maybe he could keep her away from me; walking to their table I knew some of my pack members wondered what had happened to me during fourth period, but I couldn’t allow them to know.

“Bruno, you need to keep your sister in check,” I said.

“Step-sister and what did she do now,” he growled. Nikolai smelled just like him. What the hell happened? My wolf started going crazy creating all sorts of images in my head; I gritted my teeth blocking out my wolf.

“She claiming me as her mate,” I whispered. He didn’t even answer he just stormed out of the school. What did I miss?  After lunch I didn’t see Bruno in any of our classes and that kind of scared me because he was the brother of our mate. I wonder if she told him I was her mate, maybe then we could get away from all this mess. No! This is why I hate being a werewolf sometimes, the fates are so fucking cruel especially since I was fated to a fucking vampire lover. As the school day went on I became restless into finding out if my mate was ok; if I wasn’t a wolf I wouldn’t care less but she still cares for the witch.

Later on the day I could feel a void within myself and I knew it was coming from my mate. Why did the moon goddess fate me with her? She beautiful, but in everyone eyes she just a fat ugly murder who loves vampires. There was this pain I couldn’t describe, but it was excruciating. Then I heard Bruno;  

You son of a bitch you was my sisters mate and because of you she left with my child you inconsiderate piece of shit.

You fucked my mate? And what do you mean she gone?

No, her father wanted her to be protected from vampire at all cost and instead me and my father raped her for the last two years; turning anyone that cared about her against her. She never killed her father he saved he died protecting his little girl.  When I went to go talk to her I found a note on her bed and a rope hanging from the ceiling fan; she left because of all of us.

I judged my mate based on rumors. She left me without a second thought just because I rejected her; I deserved everything that is handed to me. I needed to blow off steam and what better to blow off steam with the pack slut. I half dragged her to the closet and I didn’t know what I was doing until my wolf finally took over. I marked the pack slut.

“How could you do this to our mate?” my wolf growled.

“Our mate doesn’t fucking care about us anymore,” I hissed. My wolf blocked me out. I looked at Alyssa and I regretted rejecting my mate. I ran as far as my legs could take me, I shifted in midair; most of the pack members wanted to know what the hell happened, but I didn’t allow them in. I was the worst excuse of an alpha.
