The Rejected Alpha's Mate

Chapter 3

My mind skipped the moment I heard him say that. I swallowed nothing blinking repeatedly to see if I was dreaming but he'll no! I wasn't, he was standing in front of me,his hands stacked in his pocket.

"What do you mean?" I shuttered my voice coming out rough.

"You heard me right Anastasia!" He snapped, this was the first time he called me by my name.

"What did I do?" I managed to ask trying really hard to control the tears threatening yo find it way out. I cant shad a tear at least not now! I keep assuring myself.

"Why? You really cant tell why? Fine! I will tell you" he snapped making me flinch.

"What have I done wrong?" I asked again.

"Well you did everything wrong, first being my mate, secondly,you are weak, third you ain't my type and lastly I'm Inlove with another!" He barked my heart beating more rapidly, if I don't leave anytime soon I'm gonna lost it completely, I can feel Cindy, my wolf growl angrily, I don't think I can keep her in for long, she's trying really hard to take over.

"Who? I mean the person you are Inlove with?" I asked expecting to get an answer.

"You will find out, sooner or later!" With that being said,he stormed off leaving me behind.

The tears I was holding onto finally found it way out, my knees landed on the Dusty soil.

"Why me? Why is life being so unfair to me? First it was my family, now my mate, what have I done? Or did I commit a grave crime in my past life that made the moon goddess decide to turn her back on me? I regret my existence! I wish I wasn't born! Now how do I face my family?" Different thought ran through my mind.

*****

I adjusted my dress for the tenth time looking at the mirror.

Its been a week since the rejections. I have been trying anything humanly possible to make sure I forget about what happened but my efforts proved faultless.

The old alpha would be holding a banquet today, and had asked his men to send us an invitation meaning no one dared not to show up, I know he was only doing this get on my nerves or possibly still ask me out publicly, I already made up my mind to turn him down and face the Consequences of my actions even if it meant death I was more then willing to die tonight than have myself entangled with that old hag! No! I'm not doing anything of such.

I rather die than marry someone twice older than my father, not while I still breath.

"Hey!" I had someone waved from the back. I turned to see my best friend Nancy she was already dressed for the alpha's party.

"You done?" I asked and she nodded positively.

"So you plan on showing up! What if he tries anything funny?" She questioned in concern.

"Do I have any other options? Disobeying the alpha means instant death, I need to attend then find a way to escape" I told her.

She frowned helplessly, there was nothing she could do neither I. I just have to wait for everything to happen.

"I'm sorry I couldn't do a thing to help you, I feel so useless right now, I'm sorry" she muttered again.

Well that's Nancy for you, we have been friends since childhood and I can say she's the only one who cares about me, she's been helping me since I cant even remember, she's always been there for me anytime I needed help. My love for her would make me gladly lay my life for her, like I'm indepted to her, there's no way I could repay her favour, she's been nothing but my life supporting machine.

"Its Okey boo, you have done enough already, at this junction you have to let me face my fate, let me fight for my right, you don't have to get your self involved with the alpha, please Nancy let me do this alone I don't want anything to happen to you" I pleaded.

She sniffed wiping her tears with the back of her palm. I know its hard for her but I have to. She cant get on the alpha's bad side for my sake. I won't allow her give her life for me she's done enough already.

"Its Okey, I will be fine" I assured her patting her back.

I grabbed my back making my way of of the room with her thrilling behind me.

"Are you sure you won't regret this? You can just run away so your parents can suffer for it besides non of them likes you, I don't think they deserve your pity" she suggested. I turned to glare at her knowing fully well what she was trying to do, if I go missing today no one would hold my parents, the first person they will suspect would be her, I can vouch on my life that my father won't let her go freely not to talk of the alpha, she's asking for a death sentence.

"No! I know what you want but sadly I Can't help you achieve that! There's no way I will let you die in place of me! Never! Come on Nancy you have a life ahead, your mate, your parents don't you care to know how they are gonna feel?" I questioned.

"Do I look like I give a f*ck about any damn person? What if my mates disappoints like yours?" She questioned back.

"He won't, be positive!" I told her.

"You won't tell me what to do! Just pray he doesn't misbehave else I'm gonna go against everything you said earlier!" She snapped dragging me into the large hall.

The first thing my eye caught made my heart skip, I was shocked to see my sister clinging tightly to my mate kissing him.
