Chapter 2: The Rejection.

Chapter 2. The rejection.

Becky’s POV 

They say, the day you find the chosen mate given to you by the moon goddess would be the happiest day of your life, but unfortunately…mine was hexed. 

Who knew the one person I was desperately waiting for all my life, wanting to spend the remaining days of my life with would reject me on the spot without batting an eye or thinking it over all because I was wolfless. What a jerk. 

I guess finding happiness or being happy was a curse for me since the day I opened my eyes into this world.

4 years ago 

I was only 17 years old when I met him. I know I was young and maybe expecting too much at that age but give me a break here. I was brainwashed by my parents' happy marriage and those around me and the stories that all told me. My parents found each other when they were only 16, a year younger than me, so don't judge me if there's anyone you want to judge or blame, do that with the moon goddess.

The Alpha King. 

Or should I say, my fated mate…

I was never one to participate in any form of parties or gatherings. I always found it useless and annoying with everyone older or younger, drinking, making out, vomiting after getting wasted. The room or wherever always smelled like sweaty wolves and alcohol and some other odd smell I have zero interest to know about. But that one unforgettable night when I was forcefully dragged out/ pushed out of my home by my friends and family urging me to live a little, stop burring yourself into books, movies, novels, who knows maybe you could just be lucky to find your mate like we did. so they say. How Irresponsible of my parents to do that to me, their only daughter. Who had five older brothers, I had no choice but to go either way. 

I got to the party with my lifelong friends, Cassie and Cindy. They were twin sisters with dirty blond curly hair, same age as me and big brown eyes. 

“Come on, you might actually find your mate as your parents have said, and I heard the Alpha king’s going to be here too.” Cassy the more girly one said giggling before dragging Candy to go get drinks. 

Yeah, the name dosen't stick well with their personalitys. I guess their parents made a mistake with their names and not being able to differentiate who's gonna be the boy and who's gonna be the girl. But for reasons known to them, the twins didn't want to switch it so they left it at that. 

I stood there for what felt like a minute before I caught the scent of lavender and the woods. 

It smelt so sweet and comforting. I turned to follow the scent when I bumped my head on what felt like a rock but soft and looked up immediately.

“You're Becky?" A deep low voice asked, looking down at me with his silver gray eyes.

For a girl who had never experienced love or even the slightest bit of crush for anyone. I melted at the sound of his voice, I could almost picture myself doing the deed with him. I quickly shook the thoughts out of my head but I was finding it a bit hard to breathe because him just standing in front of me, staring at me and talking to me. Normally, anyone who sees him would be nervous as to how cold, dominating and a bit scary he is but would still melt at the sight of him.

I nodded my head, “Yes, Becky Hart.” I replied nervously. 

He looked at me intensely which made me feel fragile and wanted to be protected by the massive handsome looking man in front of me. Despite my fragile physical appearance, I could take on any one of them crossed the line and I would care less about anything. But at that time, I couldn't help but wonder if this was how people felt when they felt like they found their mate or fell in love.

“How old are you?"He asked, staring at me with a sharp look.

" 17.” I replied, feeling a lump in my throat.

“Why can't I sense your wolf?" He asked straightforwardly. An average wolf would have their wolves at the age of 16 but I haven't been able to awaken mine yet. My parents told me not to worry too much about it because they always knew I was special and would still get my wolf.

I smiled warmly. “I guess I'm a late bloomer, I don't know." 

He nodded and I frowned in confusion because there was no smile visible on his lips. 

Wasn't he happy with my response or did he not find that a bit funny? I wasn't sure. 

He nodded looking away and a small sigh escaped his lips. “Then this would be easier than I thought." He said turning to look back at me who was now extremely confused as to how things had drastically turned.

I was about to say something when he cut me off.

“You see, the woman I'm with is older, bigger and better than you…” he said, staring into my eyes. One part of me could clearly understand what he was saying but the other part felt hurt but wanted some part of him to say it was a lie or something but those words never came out.

Bang! 

It felt like a bullet had been fired at me directly into my heart, there goes the 17 years of me fantasizing about me finding a happy ending with my mate or ever believing in love again.

“I'm a king, it's impossible to be with a wolfless girl like you and besides, your still young and all…” 

Stab…stab…

The sharp words that came out of his mouth made me touch my aching chest.

“I hope you understand Becky." Were his last words before he turned, walking over to the lady he came with, leaving me hurt.

Why…what did I do so wrong? Why me? 

I thought not having a wolf meant not having a mate but you gave me the best only for him not to want me, if that was the case, you shouldn't have given me one in the first place.

From then on, I realized even the moon goddess must hate me like I hate my life.

I quietly left the party and found my way home, subbing as I dragged my weak body home. I snuck into my room through the window, careful not to alert my parents that I was back. I didn't have to worry about my brothers because they were still at the party probably hooking up with a girl or whatever it is they did and quietly cried myself to sleep.
