Rejection Pays Off Alpha Jerk

Chapter 3

'Well, I don't have any siblings, and my dad is a warrior of the pack. I like playing music and chatting with beautiful girls. To be honest, I am not an extrovert person,' he says by pointing his head towards Julie.

'Now, it's your turn, Julie.' Colin says.

Julie stays silent for a while before she starts to speak.

"'My parents were killed ten years ago in a rogue attack. My dad was a great pack fighter, and he fought until his last breath. I stayed with my grandma in the human world until last month, when a group of hunters joined my school. My grandma got worried about me since I am a werewolf, so she got me transferred to this werewolf school,' Julie explains.

“That’s really tough, Julie. I can’t imagine what you’ve been through," I said sympathetically.

Collin added, “Yeah, it’s really sad. But hey, you’ve got us now. We’ll make sure you don’t feel alone.”

Julie smiled, and for the first time since I met her, her eyes sparkled. “Thanks, guys. I’m lucky to have you both as my friends.” She said.

It breaks our hearts to hear about Julie's difficult life, but we admire her strength and resilience. So, we both gave her a warm hug to show our support. She smiles, and then we continue to eat and chat about various topics.

'Is your grandma not a werewolf?' I asked suddenly, full of worries.

'No, she is a human. So, there is no danger for her from hunters, but my grandpa was a werewolf.' she says and starts to tell us their cute love story.

'Aww, that's so cute.' I said.

'Interesting,' Colin says.

'By the way, what's the colour of your wolf?' I asked Julie with interest.

'It's gray, and what about both of you?’ she says excitedly.

'Mine is brown.' Colin says.

'And I don't have a wolf.' I said, which gave them a shock.

'What? But how? I mean why?' Julie says surprisingly.

'I don't know how. During the last semester in our shifting program, everyone shifted to their beautiful wolves, except me. I tried my best, but for some reason, I couldn't feel my wolf. Even though I am almost 16 years old, I am wolf-less. That's the reason why my dad hates me, as well as my brother and sister,' I explained.

'Just forget about that wolf. It's a pain in the ass when you have to fight.' Colin says.

'Yes, Rosey. You don't need to worry about the wolf. We will always be best friends.' Julie says with a smile.

I am filled with happiness when I think about my dear friends. As time has passed, our bond has only grown stronger. Colin's kind and caring demeanour sets him apart from others, as he always prioritizes the well-being of those around him. Meanwhile, Julie's gentle and affectionate nature brings warmth to every interaction. I am grateful for the joy and support they bring into my life.

My life is filled with happiness when I am with my friends. They never fail to make my days colourful, and I have grown to love school and cherish every moment of my student life. For the first time, it feels like I have found people who truly believe in and trust me.

Days had been running smoothly without any major issues until that fateful afternoon, a month later. We were all enjoying our lunch in the canteen when the notorious Alpha Jerk and his entourage strutted down the hallway, clearly looking for trouble.

I am sure he hates me as much as I hate him. (Judging by the expression on his face, I can sense a palpable mix of anger and sorrow.).

I often wish that I didn't have to encounter his inappropriate behaviour and ugly facial expressions on a daily basis. Sometimes it feels like my prayers aren't being answered.

Why do I always have to see his ugly face kissing a new slut each time? I must say troubles and jerks are the best mates. They are happily welcoming each other everywhere.

What a troublemaker?

As I looked up, I noticed that Jerk was striding towards me, flanked by his posse. Given our previous encounter, I couldn't help but wonder if he was seeking revenge.

'Tomboy.' William says.

'I don't talk with Jerks.' I replied.

'Do not forget that I am your Alpha.' he says.

'Not yet.' I replied.

Soon, Rosey, very soon. Just wait for a few hours until I give you good news. Actually, tomorrow is my birthday, and my dad is planning to officially announce me as the Alpha of the Moonlight Pack,' he says with a smirk.

After hearing his announcement, a wave of numbness washed over me. The thought of tolerating him as the Alpha and enduring whatever he had planned for me made my blood run cold. Would he resort to torturing me? The mere idea sent shivers down my spine. It seemed as though my worst fears were about to come true and that he would soon take away all my happiness.

Lost in thought, I didn't even notice as Jerk snuck up behind me and squirted ketchup all over my crisp, white shirt. Suddenly, all eyes were on me, and the sound of laughter filled the air.

Oh god..! Seriously?

Is he just kidding or playing with me?

Is he out of mind?

If he wants to play games, I'm all in. Without a moment's hesitation, I grabbed the ice-cold drink from the table and launched it at his ugly face, the liquid splashing and sizzling on impact.

The room fell silent as everyone abruptly stopped laughing, and all eyes turned towards us. The stunned and amused expressions on their faces were unmistakable, creating a moment of deafening silence.

'You deserve this, Jerk.' I shouted at the top of my lungs and sprinted away as fast as my legs could carry me.

Thank heavens, he didn't catch up with me. If he had, he would have knocked me to a pulp in a brutal fight.

To be honest, we're infamous for our vicious fights at school, which always draw a crowd of onlookers. It's no secret that we detest each other, and nearly everyone knows it.

A sudden announcement blared through the school speakers, calling all students to gather in the conference room at 3:00. My stomach twisted with nervous anticipation as I hoped against hope that the announcement wouldn't be something stupid or trivial. Without hesitation, I joined my friends Colin and Julie and made my way to the conference room.

'Well, students, we all know that tomorrow is our Alpha William's grand 18th birthday. Therefore, the school will remain close for his big day. I would also like to announce that Alpha and Luna have personally invited all the pack members to attend their son's grand birthday party tonight. Please, may we request everyone to join the party and show your gratitude towards Alpha's celebration.' the head of school announced.

'What a pathetic excuse to get a holiday?' I said.

'At least we have a day off,' Colin says.

'Whatever.' I told him.

'What should I wear for tonight's party?' Julie says with excitement.

Julie, with her childish nature, always gets excited about parties, whereas I dread being surrounded by people, especially on the occasion of that jerk's birthday.

'Oh god, don't get your ass so excited.' I replied.

'Of course, I do.' she says.

After the announcement was over, we all walked out of the conference hall and headed back to what we called 'Home'.

William POV: (In his room in the packhouse)

I know everyone calls me a ruthless, arrogant, and heartless playboy, which I can't deny, but deep down in my heart, there is always a special place for my mate.

I have always dreamed of finding a strong, beautiful mate who could stand by my side as the Luna of our pack. But I also don't want to become a lovesick fool or allow my emotions to weaken me, so I hide behind a facade of ruthlessness and heartlessness.

Thinking about mates, all I want is to be with everyone in my pack, but not with Roselina.

Yes, the name Roselina makes my heart creep. It's not because I hate her, it's because she was the one I used to adore and love while I was young. She was my secret crush, my source of happiness, until the day she killed my pack gamma, Ian's dad, who was a close friend of mine.

I used to come up with excuses to visit Alan and secretly enjoy seeing her angry little face. I still remember how stubborn, sweet, and caring she was towards everyone in the pack. I never grew tired of admiring her, from the way she dressed in jeans like us boys to the way she would fight with me whenever I scolded Alan. It always made my heartbeat faster.
