Apart yet Close together

Colton When the day began I was beyond excited to meet my mate. I had an amazing breakfast with my brothers & sisters that was cooked by my mother. In the afternoon I went training with my younger brother Ethan. He was to be my betta once my father steps down. We trained with our best friend Liam. He's the next Gamma. Then after a few hours it was time to go. Since today it's the mate ceremony we have to prepare for it early. When our training was over it was almost time for the ceremony so I went home to make sure everything was ready for my mate. I made sure that her room was perfect with a lot of room in case she wasn't comfortable in sharing a room with me right away. I also made sure her gifts were in place. Either if I don't meet her today I want to be prepared and make sure she accepts me and isn't disappointed. A lot of girls throw themselves at me because of my title and I just want someone who expects me the way I am. With all my piercing and tattoos on my body. No one knows I have tattoos or piercing besides my family. Tattoos aren't a good thing for alphas. I don't know why but all alpha's can't have tattoos or piercings , most look at it as a sign of mental illness and in order for someone to be a good alpha they have to be mentally stable. My father didn't support it but the rest of the family did. My father has always been old fashioned either way so I can't accept anything new from him. When it was time for a mate party I got ready in my jeans and t-shirt and went out towards the party with my father. “Welcome everyone I'm happy to say that the mate Party that you have been for has begun!” announced my father and as soon as he said that the music started playing and everyone went about their business trying to find their mate. Suddenly I felt the hands of someone of chest and I turned around to be met with the only and only Eliza. She is the daughter of our Neighboring packs alpha. We've also been best friends since we were in diapers. Her father and my father have been friends for a long time and decided before we were even born that we were going to connect our pack. That’s if none of us find out mate by the age of 20. “What are you doing here Eliza? I thought you were still in your pack” “Well yes but then father found out that the mate party is being held here this year and said I should go and see if I your mate, seems like I’m not” she said “Yea, still doesn’t mean we can be together” she said which annoyed me. “Just because our parents want us together doesn’t mean I agree with that, as soon as I find my mate tonight am making her my Luna, not you” “Ok, ok just be careful you know what happens when we disobey our fathers” she said “I don’t care” … As the party got more and more intense with almost everyone making out, I started to feel a pull. I knew it was the mate bound, she's here. I started to make my way around the dancing bodies and the horny wolf's and towards my mate. Mate! Mate! Hurry up! calm down I'm going, I'm going As I made me way out to the backyard part of the party I was meet with the most intoxicating scent to ever hit my senses. I started searching for her and that when I saw her. Bright hazel eyes with a hit of dark purple in them. She had short wavy pitch black hair that I could just imaging running my fingers through. When our eyes connect it was like the world stoped and the one once moving were us. My heart was racing a million miles an minute & I couldn’t help but feel excited. I was about to walk over to her when I was suddenly stoped by my father. ‘don’t you dare go over to her Colton’ ‘She’s my mate dad, I need to-‘ ‘No you don’t need to and you aren’t going to go over to her unless to reject her’ ‘What?! I don’t understand’ ‘It’s easy to understand, she is an odomiation and will never be fit to be Luna, now unless you want to me execute her you will reject her’ ‘You can’t do this I need her! She’s my mate!’ ‘I don’t care that she’s your mate, you will reject her and your new mate will be Eliza and that’s the end of. Remember do I saw or I will kill her it’s your choice’ ‘Fine, but this isn’t over.’ ‘Of course it’s not pup’ And as I said I was going to do as much as it broke my heart to do so, I rejected her. I saw as she tried to hold her tears in and I never in a million years thought I would be the cause of my mate's pain. She also was my best friend Liam's sister which didn’t make the situation any better. He’s going to hate me for this. “look I don't have time so let's get this over with I, Colton Moon reject you Amilia heart as my mate” I said tried to be strong and not go back on it. Somehow I didn’t feel a connect broken. I’ve heard when you reject your mate you feel like a chain breaking, like a painful feeling but I didn’t feel it. Maybe because I was the one who rejected and wasn’t the one being rejected? After I said that she gave the deathly look I have ever seen, not that I don’t deserve it. Then she grabbed her stuff and walked away bumping my shoulder on her way out really hard. After she left I felt destroyed and couldn’t stay so I went out to train in the woods. It always calmed me down. It gave me something to take my anger on. So as if right now I really need it. The next day I still didn’t go back, too lost in my own mind. All I could think was I made a stupid decision. I could have fought my dad, I could have not given in his orders. But I didn’t and I let her go. Around 10 in the morning I felt something break in my mind. Someone has crossed the border. No...No…. Please don’t let it be Amilia. Please…..
