Rejection that Stings
Freya's POV
My heart hammered against my rib cage furiously as I met the feverish gaze of my mate and I was suddenly not interested in what was going on around me.
The realization that the Alpha was my mate was already a shock and I wondered what the moon goddess was playing at.
How can the Alpha be my mate? How can Alpha Darren, the ruthless Alpha of my pack who succeeded the throne by killing off his siblings be my mate?
I wondered but I felt my wolf which I could now feel her presence grimacing in joy of finding her mate but I was indifferent about it.
Shouldn't I be happy? I wondered but I do not why I felt so bland at the time.
"You!" I heard the Alpha roared and his voice shook me to the bone that I could not help but shiver.
I looked at him and I could see that he was seething in anger and I wondered why he was like that.
Does he not like me to be his mate?
I looked around to see the people looking at us weirdly but before I could register what was going on the man grabbed me roughly by the arm and he dragged me out of the room and I winced at his gesture.
I don't know why I suddenly felt that something was going to go wrong and I should scream for help before the man went and buried me at the back of his room..
Yes, Alpha Darren was that scary!
He dragged me to the back of the hall and he shoved me to the side leaving me to catch my breath and my hard caress the place that the man held tightly.
"You…is this a joke!" I heard the man ask and I bowed my head in fear knowing that the man might not like to keep eye contact.. Everyone I know doesn't like to keep eye contact.
But why is he that angry thought? Is he displeased about me running his clothes? I wondered and I faced him to see his expression and I quickly apologized.
"I am sorry about ruining your clothes and I didn't…" I was saying but his voice broke into my words.
"How dare a fifth like you be my mate?" I heard him say and my heart broke knowing that was all he was about.
He might have felt disgusted being mated to me..
"But it's the moon goddess arrangements I don't think…" I was talking but I saw him extend his hands to throw a punch at me but I slumped to the ground to avoid it.
"How dare you say those words with your fifth mouth! How dare you call me that with your fifth mouth!" I heard the Alpha went berserk on me but I was too shocked to reply.
My mate almost attacked me? Everyone always looked forward to meeting their mates but mine almost attacked me in anger, am I not so special? (Sarcasm)
"How did you even enter the party? Hoe can you come here and run everything!" He yelled and I jerked in fear with tears streaming down my cheeks but I bit down my lips trying my best on not to make a sound.
It's already pitiful enough for me to be this disgusted by my mate. I could not appear more miserable.
"Since it has come to this…I can at least break any stupid bond between us and put an end to this," Darren breathed out and my eyes widened not believing that it was going to get to that.
I thought that he was just going to get angry but I never could have thought that it was going to go that far.
He is an alpha.. rejecting his mate means he is sacrificing his chances of being stronger.
"What! You are rejecting me? But why? I mean it's the…" I was saying but the man stooped to my level and he gagged me by my collar and I winced in pain.
"If I am to choose between death and getting mated to you..then I will gladly choose to be chopped to death," Darren bellowed and the tears fell freely but this time I wasn't the one that was hurting.
It was my wolf, Lana. She was in excruciating pain hearing those cruel words from her mate and I was just sitting there on the floor listening to the man spurt words like that.
I didn't do anything..I didn't say anything in my defense because like always I think that whatever he was saying about me might actually be the truth. Like a fool, I believe I liked the problem.
"Seeing your face alone wants to make me poke," he said, letting go of me roughly and I sucked in air hurriedly.
"I, Alpha Darren Carlos, reject you…Freya Gladiolus as my mate!" Darren says and I felt my heart burn and I held my chest because of the intense pain.
I watched as the man turned around leaving me on the dark balcony with my pain and I felt so uncomfortable. Why do I have to be trampled on different occasions?
Why do people have to treat me like I'm worth nothing at all?
"Why!" I yelled in agony but I felt a hand wrapped around me and I felt stiff thinking that it was him but the smell was different from him.
"It's okay, you can cry no one is going to hear you over here, anyways," I heard Bella's voice and my heart ached more and my dib increased.
It was like my pain doubled and having someone ready to listen to you and help you ease your pain was everything.
"Bella, he…" I was about to say but I choked on my words because the emotions were overwhelming.
"You should not cry, he is a jerk for missing out on you," Bella says, and I know that she was trying to make me feel better.
Yes, he is a jerk!
I breathed heavily with what just happened and I could feel my wolf sad at the turn of events and I knew that it was going to hurt for a while but I was going to overcome it…only if I knew that was the start of my pain.
