“I will when I can stop myself from throwing up!”
Scott growled and took a step forward. “You should be kissing my feet and begging me to keep you.” He snapped, “I’m the one who got saddled with a pathetic wolfless pack less b*tch.”
I climbed out of bed and marched over to Scott.
“Don’t worry.” I said firmly as my heart raced, his scent was actually very pleasing, but I pushed that thought into the deep recesses of my mind. “You won’t have to put up with me for long, I Madelyn reject you Alpha Scott as my mate!”
I felt as if someone had punched me in the chest and I cringed in on myself. The pain was awful, and I couldn’t breathe for a second, but when I looked up, I saw Scott had reacted the same way.
“How dare you, you stupid b*tch?!” He grabbed my upper arms and gripped me so hard, I knew I’d bruise. “Do you know how many girls would kill to be my mate?”
“Then go find one of them and leave me the hell alone!” I shouted and kneed him in the crutch.
Scott gasped in pain and fell down onto his knees.
“You stupid b*tch.” He groaned, “I am going to beat the hell out of you!”
“Accept my rejection, or I’ll tell your mother everything you’ve ever done to me?” I spat furiously.
“You think she’d ever believe you over me!” He snarled and took a deep breath. “How about I tell her we’re mates? You know how seriously she takes the mate bond, she’ll force you to be mine, and I’ll make you watch me scr*w other women every night, or you can take back the rejection, and we’ll.”
“NEVER!” I screamed, cutting him off mid-sentence, “Accept my rejection, or I’ll tell your mother the truth about Laura. Do you think she’ll believe you over me about her too? I don’t think so!”
Laura was a girl we’d gone to school with, but Scott had gone to his father two years ago and had her banished. He’d told his dad that they’d slept together one drunken night during her heat and that she’d fallen pregnant, but Scott didn’t want her or the child, so Alpha Troy had taken care of it after he found out the child wasn’t male.
He’d shipped Laura off with some money to take care of the kid and warned her to never return. We found out a few months later that she’d taken her own life, but neither Troy nor Scott seemed to care and never spoke about her.
“F*ck you!” Scott snapped angrily and stood up holding his crutch. “Scr*w me, and I’ll accept your rejection.”
“Go scr*w yourself!” I took a step away from him, “I’d rather rip my own skin off than sleep with you!”
“Don’t pretend like you’re not curious about what it would feel like to be with your mate.”
“You’re not my mate.” I told him with disgust, “You’re my nightmare, now accept my rejection.”
“You just wait until I’m head Alpha.” He threatened me, “I will make you pay for this. I, Scott, future Alpha of Calco pack, accept your rejection.”
I cried out in pain and fell to my knees as tears filled my eyes and a crushing sensation grasped my heart.
“You will pay!” Scott threatened again, and I heard him slowly leave the room.
I crawled over to the door and locked it before curling up on the cold ground and weeping.
I hated Scott more now than ever, and I felt sick to my stomach. All my dreams of finding my mate and being free were now taken from me. I’d be trapped in Calco forever.
I didn’t remember falling back to sleep, but I must have because I woke to a loud tapping on my door and sat up.
My whole body was aching, and my bones were stiff from sleeping on the ground, but I got up and put on a brave face.
“Yes.” I asked as I pulled open the door.
“Good morning, Madelyn.” Luna Morgan greeted me. “Happy birthday.”
Oh, that’s right, it was my birthday, but just like every year, I had no desire to celebrate.
“Thank you, Luna.” I said, but my voice came out crackly, so I cleared my throat.
“You’re late for breakfast. Are you not feeling well?” She asked, “You look awful.”
“How can you tell?” Sky commented as she walked out of her room wearing a bright yellow dress, “She looks like she does everyday to me.”
“Go eat.” Her mother said firmly before turning back to me.
“Actually, I’m not feeling too well.” I admitted, “Would it be okay if I stayed here and slept until the ball”
“Of course, dear.” She touched my face, “Get some rest. What an awful way to start your 21st year.”
“You have no idea.” I nodded and shut the door.
After a quick shower, I climbed into bed and curled up again. I couldn’t believe how terrible I felt. I rejected him, and I shouldn’t be the one in pain right now.
I hoped he was suffering too, and he deserved it. The nerve of him, tormenting me for years and then expecting me to be his mate, what a joke.
‘I hope you’re not too mad at me, Ava.’ I whispered to her, ‘I had to reject him. We can’t be with someone like him.’
Like always, there was no reply, but I had to believe that she wouldn’t have wanted the pr*ck as our mate any more than I did.
I fell back to sleep and didn’t wake up again until I once more heard banging on my door.
I growled in frustration and sat up, I forgot for a moment that I wasn’t at home and was shocked to see I wasn’t in my bedroom, and then everything came flooding back.
I stretched and was glad to at least feel a little better, though not like my usual self, and I walked barefooted to the door.
I pulled it open to see an annoyed looking Sky with a bonnet around her hair. She had just gotten her hair done.
“Mom told me to get you up!” She said as if waking someone up was beneath her, “We’re leaving for the ball in an hour.”
“Thanks.” I said and shut the door on her stupid face.
I went and took a quick shower before pulling on my gown. Was it only yesterday that I was so excited to go tonight, and now all I wanted was to hide in my bed?
I had plans to do my makeup and pull up my hair, but I didn’t even bother now.
Once I slipped on my black shoes, I wandered out to the waiting family all dressed up.
The men in tuxes and Luna Morgan and Sky both have elegant ball gowns and both with their hair done into intricate braids dawn with jewels.
“Finally,” Alpha Troy said lazily as he checked his watch. “Let’s go.”
“You look lovely, Madelyn.” Luna Morgan told me kindly, “But you still look a little sick. You can go to ball for an hour or two, but then I want you back in bed to rest.”
“Yes, Luna.”
As we headed out of the suite, I noticed Scott staring at me with lust and anger, but I also noticed he didn’t look well either, and he didn’t hold himself with his usual arrogant manner, good he was suffering too.
“The same goes for you, Scott.” She turned to him, “You both must have caught something in the city or maybe food poisoning. Did you eat the same meal last night?”
“My sweet, they’re fine.” Troy waved his hand, “It’s probably just a bug. Who knows what they could have picked up here with so many packs around? They’ll be good as gold by the time we leave in a few days.”
