Farewell

::Sarah's POV::
What is going on?! Did he just declare me his? What the- I rambled through my thoughts of what had just occurred. My face was against his chest and boy did it smell amazing! That familiar scent. So enticing, and addictive. I didn't dare to move, more like I couldn't! My body was frozen accepting the tingles traveling through my body.
''Doesn't this feel good?'' basked Jen, ''I never thought I'd feel total happiness'' she purred.
Ouch!
My eyes shot a glance at Xander at my peripheral hoping he'd keep the denying act to go on. I didn't want to be forced to be contracted to someone I didn't lo- ''Don't you dare think of finishing that thought'' Jen interrupted. ''You're just scared, but I know you'll come to love him'' she proudly assured.
''Well it's a win-win at this point'' I heard Xander declare '' I won't question your weird kinks but if she is the one you choose then that is that! I Xander hereby declare...''
Wai-what?! No no no! Don't you f*****g say it...
''...Sarah of the Bronze Fangs pack be under Alpha Drake from the Crimson Red pack's command.''
He f*****g finished it! The ceremony ritual to hand over me to Drake was now official. Why was I surprised? Xander was the type to do anything to anyone just to remain in control. But still, this was sickening.
I realized I was still latched onto Drake's embrace and managed to look up at him. He returned a soft gaze and our eyes met. Something then came over me, a flush of hotness, electric vibes shot through my body as my eyes dilated. I felt my mouth slowly opening at this feeling, it felt so wonderful. Is this what bliss felt like? I then felt him lower his head and whispered upon my ear, ''Mine''.
My eyes widened. My pupils dilated in rhythm with his. I didn't dare return the words, instead I looked away, flustered, yet gripping onto the sides of his shirt. I'm not sure what is going on, but I didn't want to know at this point.
As the ceremony came to an end I was then led to Alpha Drake's guest room. There he sat right on the edge of his bed. I could barely keep a steady breath just at his presence. Get it together. We rejected him.
''No, you did! Now let's have some fun and complete the ritual'' Jen hurried.
The mating ritual, where a pair whom declared as mates finalize their bond by having s****l intercourse and marking each other. It was a life long bond and nothing would be able to interfere once it has been implied. A commitment we cannot deny by nature-
-Is something I do not need. I instead ruffled ruffled out the courage to talk to him, ''So I'm your prize now huh?''
He softly looked at me with yearning needs in his eyes, ''You're my everything.''
I felt m face blush as he cooly executed saying those words. He was so smooth yet his voice was husky enough to determine a bit dominance hidden beneath that smirk.
''I- I rejected you, why can't you just accept it and move on?'' I whispered.
''Because you're my mate, I've searched for you all my life'' he answered.
I say this a lot but... wait what?! I shook my head in disbelief, ''If I'm not mistaken, you are Drake...''
''Yes'' he answered.
''...From the Crimson Red wolf pack...''
''Correct'' he answered.
''And you take she wolves from other tribes as contract mates?'' I finished.
''Well... yeah, but'' he stuttered. He looked as if he was a bit disgusted at the last statement I said.
Bingo!
''So you said you have been searching for me your whole life, but have Goddess knows how much mistresses back home? Some prince charming you are!'' I mocked. I felt the confidence begin to return. Until he stood up. He locked his palms inside his pockets and sighed at the ceiling before looking back at me, ''They're not mistresses, I'd never lay with another woman who isn't my mate''.
A part of me wished it was a lie, it would have been easier for me to come up with a comeback, but he shown no such hint. Damn it. He then took a sturdy step forward, ''Care to explain why your crowd despises you so much mate?''
A worried look took over, and I felt guilt swell up in my chest. Barely able to fight back tears I managed to ramble out, ''That's none of your business''.
''If we are to make this work we shouldn't lie to each other'' Drake said now a few inches away from me.
Instinctively my hands grabbed against the door. I needed all the support I could get because the feelings I received with him being so close was extremely heavy, almost matching my breathing. I looked up and saw a smirk had formed on his face. That dimple deepened and the heat between us got real hot. He lowered his head and gently kissed near my marking spot, ''Don't worry baby, I won't force anything out of you.''
The sensation was driving me mad. How can a single person do this to me? I trained myself to numb out these desires for years, yet, why was now any different? Drake then released the tightness between us and headed towards his bed. He began to take off his shirt and there was that sight my fantasy sought for. His back muscles tensed as he completed his action. Then, a scar? Multiple ones at that!
Worriedly yet more curious I heard myself blurt, ''Scars...''
Drake did not turn around but instead flexed his back to give me a better view, ''Battle scars of keeping top alpha'' he declared. He then proceeded to jump into the bed. Laying and looking over at me. I began to feel extremely nervous, what were we going to do? Don't tell me we were gonna-
''Yes!! He's calling for us'' I heard my wolf interrupt.
I still froze in denial. I barely knew this man, no way was I going to just give it up. He began to chuckle and then shook his head, ''Don't worry baby, I won't do anything you don't want me to do.'' and switched on the TV.
''So am I free to go?'' I hopingly asked.
''You have until 5pm to say your goodbyes'' he finished.
I clearly forgot what it meant to be a contracted mate. I was no longer a part of the Bronze Fangs pack. I was now under this man's watchful eyes. No matter what was going on I had to leave. I left the room and ran out to find my best friends.
I knocked on Adam's doorstep. He opened the door and I lunged onto him.
''b***h I ain't gonna get a boner no matter how much you try, I'm gay remember?''
Wow even at such a serious moment.
''Sarah...'' Derrick appeared from the other room. He stood there, in disbelief and sadness, ''So it's true? Drake chose you.'' he strided towards me and took me away from hugging Adam. He then embraced me with a tight brotherly hug. ''What's going to happen Sarah?'' he worriedly asked.
I just gripped his clothing, ''I don't know''.
After I had calmed down, I sat in Adam's living room explaining the whole ordeal of the contract. About Drake being my mate, everything. At first they seemed happy for me until they realized that it meant leaving them behind. Their faces turned gloomy, Gil and Lily tried to comfort their mates while giving me supportive thoughts.
''It's just not fair!''
''If he ever lays a hand on you...'' growled Derrick, ''Contract or not, Alpha of the world or Omega, I will rip him apart'' he promised. He let off an aura that would easily intimidate any of the warriors we had in our pack. Lily then combed his hair and he began to calm down.
''Hoe, this is Sarah we're talking about she will kick his ass'' added Adam.
I scoffed at the thought of it, Drake seemed soft but I know those scars did not lie, he was ruthless when he had to be. I didn't understand it at all, he was so soft towards me, yet had a hard reputation all around him.
Before we knew it it was already going to be 5pm! The group looked at each other, ''We should see you off at least'' Gil suggested. The rest had agreed. We all walked back towards the pack house. The same pack house I ran to for help as a kid and got denied. The same pack house I despised, well, this was one of the things I'd never miss.
Tears began to roll down my cheeks. I was actually leaving them behind! My best friends, their mates, my remaining families. More tears dropped to the ground and then I felt their warm embraces comfort me. ''I don't want to leave you guys!'' I sobbed.
At a split second I felt Drake's presence loom over us, ''I'd never stop you from seeing your friends'' he reassured. A jolt of relief shot through my body as I began to feel at ease. We all were. ''Th-thank you'' I addressed him. I saw that infamous smile form as he scratched his head in embarrassment, ''No problem, I'd be devastated to be forced to be kept away from friends and family as well''.
''So this is it,'' Derrick hugged me, ''Till we meet again Sarah''
I turned to Adam who was balling his eyes out, ''A bad b***h like me never cries, but for your b***h ass I would any day!'' he sobbed tightening his embrace harder than I remembered he ever could. Lily and Gil smiled and exchanged their farewells. I turned to my now contracted mate who opened the car door for me. I sighed a deep breath, Here we go.
Jen did not complain, she was happy being next to her mate. In fact, she never nagged one word outta me the whole ride. Must be your favorite one huh? I spoke in my thoughts.
''He's the only one Sarah'' Jen corrected.
The car drove off as Drake and I were at the back of the limousine. Drake signaled his driver and at that moment a glass wall cut us off and it was just Drake and I. Shy and nervous I looked out the window trying to distract me from the feelings forming between us. A single touch from him would send a chill up my spine.
''Nervous much mate?'' he observed.
''We-well if it wasn't for the contract this would be considered kidnapping'' I spat.
