Chapter 4- Alpha Xander

Evelyn

I hate parties. When I was a child, I enjoyed going to them—meeting relatives and friends, seeing everyone's smiling faces. But after becoming a teenager, I felt that most of the smiles and welcoming gestures were nothing but a fake facade. Nowadays, it's more about the glorification of people's wealth and power. Nothing else. Especially the Alphas. They think of themselves as gods.

Today we're attending Alpha Sean's party. He's known for his arrogance, and his son, Alpha Xander, is worse than him. Arrogant, heartless, and a manwhore, I hate him the most .

Many times he tried to hit on me, but I made it clear I had nothing to do with him. Once he told me we should choose each other as chosen mates. Made my blood boil in rage. I told him I'll only take my fated mate, not a chosen mate, but he wasn't ready to hear me. Till now, he's forced me many times to think about it. I'm sure he just wants my power. That man isn't someone who could settle with one woman.

My eyes roamed everywhere to see any sign of my mate. I didn't smell anyone. Eva's voice mirrored the same desperation and sadness as mine.

"Wow, what a preparation." My mother spoke to Dad. "Look, Samuel, Alpha Sean is really good at party arrangements. We should definitely ask him for decoration arrangements and ideas for our daughter's future mate ceremony."

"Of course, Luna Lily, we'd be honored if I get the chance to do something for Lady Evelyn."

An arrogant voice said from nowhere.

I know that voice. He's the last person I wanted to deal with. Eva growled in annoyance.

"Good evening, Luna Lily and Alpha Samuel." Alpha Xander came in front of us, greeting my parents with his overconfident and arrogant look.

"Good evening, Alpha Xander." My parents accepted his greetings with warm smiles.

After that, his eyes roamed over my body. It disgusted me.

"Good evening, Evelyn. You look gorgeous today."

"Thank you, Alpha Xander. You look good too."

He chuckled. Fake. I'm damn sure whenever I talk back to him, it hurts his ego. Not only him but also Alpha Sean—they think women shouldn't talk back. They think women should kneel in front of men.

Alpha Sean never treated his mate fairly, and one day she ran away from here to leave him.

And Alpha Xander is also like him. But I'm not someone who sits still and lets others treat me badly. I'm an alpha female and a powerful witch who doesn't know how to kneel and beg from someone.

My parents excused themselves and soon mingled with other guests. That's what I like about my parents. Even though they're Alpha and Luna, they always treat everyone equally. Whether the person is an Alpha, Omega, or any other creature.

"Let's go, Evelyn. I'll escort you." I heard that arrogant voice again. He always says my name like we're friends.

"No, Alpha Xander, I'm good. I'm not a kid. Just leave me alone." I gave him my fake smile, the one I'd learned over the years. His jaw clenched in anger, but he hid it.

"Oh, come on, Evelyn. How can I leave a beautiful girl like you?"

Can we kill him? Eva spoke in my head.

Oh goddess, he's suffocating me. I nodded, even though I wanted to give him a piece of my mind. I don't want to make a scene.

"So, Evelyn, you still didn't find your mate. Seems like the Moon Goddess forgot to give you a fated mate, but it's okay. A chosen mate is better than a fated mate."

Damn, same conversation.

"How, Alpha Xander? Can you tell me how a chosen mate is better than a fated mate? As far as everyone knows, the fated mate is the biggest blessing for werewolves."

He laughed like I told him a joke.

"Well, Evelyn, a fated mate can be anyone, even if they're not worthy of us. But when it comes to a chosen mate, you can choose the person whose status matches our status."

What about love? I wanted to ask him, but I know he'll never understand this.

"Well, Alpha Xander, you're saying this because you didn't meet your fated mate. That feeling is something else—there are sparks, a fluttering feeling in your heart. That's the purest feeling in the world."

He stared at me blankly and laughed out loud. "I already met my fated mate."

I was shocked. "Oh, I really didn't know. So where is she?"

"I rejected her." He said it like it was a normal thing.

My eyes widened. "What? But why?" I said in disbelief.

"I rejected her, Evelyn. She was just a regular beta female who wasn't worthy of an Alpha, so I rejected her right after I found her."

Anger surged through my veins. He's really a disgusting piece of shit. How can he reject his fated mate just because she didn't belong to the status this asshole finds worthy? I always disliked him, but right now I feel disgusted toward him. What kind of pain must she be going through because of him?

"Evelyn, where are you lost?"

I faced him. "Alpha Xander, don't you regret making that decision?" I said angrily.

His eyes held anger at the tone I used. "I don't think I made a mistake, Evelyn. As an Alpha, it was my duty to think about my pack's future. A weak Luna makes a weak pack. As an Alpha, we can't think with our hearts. What would you do if your mate was an Omega or any other weak creature?"

"I won't reject him no matter what." I told him truthfully.

After saying that, I walked away from him as far as I could.
