CHAPTER 5 The Rejection
Messiah Jordy
Still confused, I was forced to ask.
"So you're a male wolf?"
'Yes. Everyone is perplexed because we are mated to a male wolf, they won't support a homosexual alpha.' He explained.
All the while Axl and I were discussing, almost everyone around were staring daggers at him.
"Jordy! I'm sorry.. Alpha, you have a white wolf.. the king of wolves, infact, the alpha of alphas." Our mate said and bowed, hiding his tail between his legs in respect.
Axl raised his head to see every head bowed except the alpha and Luna. Beta Luther's head was down, but his eyes were on Axl in a strange way.
"White wolves are extincts, but the moon goddess has decided to show our pack kindness by giving us one. Henceforth, we are the strongest pack in the entire realm." Gamma Micah declared and everyone cheered.
Our morphing ceremony became an all night party where everyone celebrated, ate and drank to their satisfaction and I was still not sure of how the food and drinks came about..
Almost everyone among us morphed back to our human form except me and two other wolves, my mate and a female wolf, who I just noticed was standing beside me. I was about to ask who the she was when I saw Zach walking towards us.
"Zoey, I've been trying to mind-link you, why are you blocking me off.. and why aren't you morphing back to your human form?" He asked the female wolf and she turned and walked away without saying anything to him.
Zach ran after her, and like someone who remembered something, he turned to me and said: "I'll be back guys." He said and left.
"Jamal, is that you?" I asked the wolf standing beside me and he nodded slowly.
I guessed it would be Jamal, since I didn't see him and he didn't come looking for me. Making Jamal my mate was a grave mistake made by the moon goddess.
"Jordy.. how.. how.. are we mates?" He asked like he finally found his voice.
"I don't know.. I don't understand." I said emphatically.
I wanted to run away, I had to, at least to morph back to my human form and dress myself up, as the cloth I wore earlier had been damaged, but I guess the mate bond was stronger than me so I couldn't leave Jamal's side.
"We can't possibly be mates." He said coldly, "you.. you know." He was still stuttering when I turned and walked away, not wanting to hear what he had to say.
I ran into the woods with the aim of screaming out my lungs and relaxing to get myself an answer of what to do because there was no way on Earth I could be mates with Jamal, as a matter of fact, that would be the end of me.. the end of my parents great secret.
While I was running fast with my foot and my thoughts, I heard strange voices and stopped abruptly, the pheromones they were emitting wasn't strange anyways. I masked my pheromones immediately.
"I want Messiah Jordy, I want him as mine, there's nothing you or anyone will say that will change my mind." That was Zoey's voice.
Zoey and her brother, Zachary, were twins and children of my father's gamma, Gamma Micah. They were my closest friends after... after... now it hurt to even think of his name.
Jamal was my best friend, the son of my father's beta. I had never for once thought he would be able to reject me so easily and with such cruelty.
I strolled closer and hid beside a tree to avoid getting caught, so as to hear everything they had to say.
"Stop it!" Zachary screamed, "we have talked about this over and over again. If that is why you rejected your mate, you better go back to him and apologize. Now!"
"I'll do whatever, I repeat whatever it'll cost to get him."
"Remember when you used to bully him, calling him softy."
"He's a freaking alpha, a subject can't bully his master, besides it's all in the past now, he must have gotten over it."
"He has a mate now, so deal with it." Zach snapped, slight irritation began to grow in his expression, I could see it.
"A mate?" Zoey laughed hysterically. "Jamal? Not at all. You shouldn't be saying that, you of all people should know that he cannot be mated to Jamal, Jamal is a he, a man.. besides, lemme tell you a secret."
I had always known Zoey had the biggest crush on me, but that was only because she thought I was a male, just like everyone else in the pack. No one could ever find out my real identity.
She lowered her voice, but I could still hear her, thanks to my werewolf heightened hearing ability.
"Jamal's father doesn't like MJ, infact, if he had his way, he would have killed him.
I almost screamed where I was, but I used both my hands to cover mouth to avoid letting them know I was eavesdropping on them.
"Zoey.. you will put yourself in trouble." Zach said, with shakey voice.
Does it mean Zach kneqqw too? That means they probably knew the truth about me.
'Axl, what do you think?'
"If you care to listen, I have loads of instances to prove what I just said." Zoey said, hitting her feet on the ground.
"Would you mind saying them, because I care to listen." Jamal who I didn't notice was following me spoke up as he walked up to the arguing siblings.
My heart skipped a million beats at once as I watched him take sturdy steps from behind me.
"Jamal!" I tried to call him as he walked past me. But he turned to me with a stern gaze in his eyes and brushed my palm away.
"Don't touch me!" He snarled.
My heart twisted in my chest. I could feel it start to shrink in pain.
Why was he so angry with me? I found myself asking. We were best friends minutes before all the drama began.
"Jamal.. I didn't... can we just talk?!" I continued to plead, but he wasn't going to listen.
"There is no need for us to talk... this... this can't work ever, I'm sorry Messiah Jordy... It just can't...."
"I Jamal Beaconsfield, reject you Messiah Jordy King!" He blurted out, and my heart shattered into a million tiny pieces in my chest.
But before I could make sense of anything that had happened around me, I heard a strange voice growl behind me.
"Mate..."
I dared not to look back.
