Werewolf stuff or whatever

Chatper Too

She couldn't seem to keep her eyes away from his...their blue color was so deep and they flickered to gold each time his own wolf was threatening to take control.

Everyone stopped what they were doing, and started looking at her, confused. The man broke off their eye contact, and clapped with his hands.

"Alright everyone. Start your warm-ups ! The slackers will be punished !" He shouted, leaving Hophelia confused and quite sad that her own mate had not yet aknowledged her.

The other people gave her some weird looks, wondering if she was just trying to trick their neighboring Alpha into thinking she is his Luna but soon simply obeyed his command and started running around the field, not really wanting to be punished by him as they knew how heartless and strict he could be. After all, he was the leader of the Dark Night pack which was famous for being the strongest pack in the world ! That's exactly why they invited him to train their warriors !

Hophelia waited for a bit, walking towards him and stopping right in front of him, waiting for a kiss or an embrace.... But it never came.

"What are you still doing here ? Didn't you hear me ? Go run with the others ! If you think I'd be more indulgent of your behavior because you're out Beta's daughter then you're mistaken ! I'm an Alpha and I demand you listen to my commands !" He barked at her.

Hophelia felt her hopes shatter before her eyes and the tears started forming and slowly falling down her cheeks. How could he treat her that way ? She felt her heart breaking and the presence of her wolf diminishing with each passing second.

"But...I'm your mate !" She said, desperately.

"I don't have a mate and I certainly don't need one. Especially if it's a whiny she-wolf like you !" He said gravely.

"Don't you feel this bond between us ? You can't do this !"

"Oh yes I can. I, Alpha Xavier Romero of the Dark Night pack reject you Hophelia Clam as my mate."

Hophelia stared at him, frozen in place.

"I DO NOT ACCEPT IT !" She finally said before running away from the courtyard and back towards her house where her brother was probably preparing for his day.

Slamming the door open, she jumped on him, who was resting on the couch, and started crying even louder.

"Jaaaames ! I met...I...I met...m-my *sob* m-mate...a-and...h-he....he reje....HE REJECTED ME !!!!" She wailed, as despair and sadness filled her broken heart. "I ...I thought it would be magical ! And perfect ! But it was none of that...! He...he..."

James stared at his little sister crying in his arms, and gave a long and warm hug to help her calm down enough for him to understand just what on earth had happened since he last saw her at breakfast.

When she finally calmed down, he questionned her about what truly happened and let her explain everything to him : how she met her mate, how he rejected and humiliated her in front of the whole pack... everything.

"I'm gonna beat that bastard up!! Who is he ? And where is he right now? I'll show him what it means to make my little sister cry !"

"His name's Xavier...he's the trainer of the warriors..."

"Xavier...? You mean THE Xavier Romero ??? The Alpha of the Dark Night pack?!" He asked, worried.

Hophelia slowly nodded before she started crying again.

"It's alright...there...there. We'll figure it out...okay?" He said as he patted her back and held her against him for a second hug.
