CHAPTER TWO

Selena's POV

I stared into his eyes lost while my wolf continued to yell inside of me. "Mate! Mate!" It kept screaming.

All my life, I had always waited for the day that I was going to find my mate, the one that was going to love me and rescue me from all these sufferings and I had finally found him. And to even make things better for me, the moon goddess had decided to give me the Alpha of the Red Moon pack, the largest known Werewolf pack.

I noticed that he was also sniffing and now, I was dead sure that he was my mate.

My lips trembled as the word Inched out slowly from my mouth and my heart pounded hard against my chest.

"Mate!" I shot out the word from my mouth but immediately I said the word, I could see his heart Popping in his chest with anger and I wondered why.

"Hasn't he perceived the Scent? Hasn't he felt the bond?" I thought in my head confused as random thoughts crossed through my mind.

"Mate?" He shot back but not in an acceptance, in a way of questioning and I stood there, still staring into his eyes.

"How is it even possible?" He growled at me and I fell backward. I could already feel tears forming in my eyes but I was able to push them back.

"The moon Goddess chose us." I returned but he spat on the floor almost immediately. "Choose who and who?" He shot at me with so much irritation in his voice.

"Do you think we can ever be together as mates? You are the talk of the town for crying out loud. The Vampire Mayor's Mistress, your debts from gambling are littered everywhere and you expect me to be your mate?" He spat on the floor and everyone in the hall burst into loud piercing laughter.

I felt so ashamed at first that I could see tears forming in the corner of my eyes but I was able to restrain them. "I was a strong girl and I was going to remain that," I said to myself.

"That means you are rejecting me?" I shot at him wanting him to spill out the word right from his mouth and he burst into laughter immediately which tore my heart into a million pieces that could never be fixed again.

"Are you that deaf as much as you are a flirt?" He growled at me. "Okay, if you want me to make it official, I would. I, Alpha Austin, Alpha of the red moon pack, reject you, my mate." Be shot at me.

The crowd laughed as the bond in me was broken into shreds. I stared into his eyes with anger written all over it. I could feel my anger rising so badly that I had to clutch my hands to control my rising anger.

"Fine!" I yelled back at him. "I will stay out of your life and you stay out of mine!" I growled at him while a thick frown was hanging on his face. I never needed you in the first place and you never needed me either so you just fuck off from my life." He growled at me.

I stared back at his cruel face and back at the glaring crowd. I could no longer stand what was happening there, I had to run for it as soon as I could.

"I hate you," I growled at him and I broke into a swift run out of the place while my heart pounded hard against my chest as though it was going to burst through.

I could no longer restrain the tears that were forcing themselves to drop down from my eyes and I let them down slowly.

The sky grew dark and thunder tumbled, followed by a swift flash of lightning, it was about to run.

I ran faster. "I hate you Alpha Austin and I will never have anything to do with you, ever again," I growled as I ran away to our house.

I ran faster because I didn't want to be beaten by the rain. I saw my home a few miles away but I wasn't happy at all, that was the Genesis of my abuse, where all my problems compounded and I am still struggling to come out of.

When I got home, my mum was standing at the door with a thick frown hanging on her face. "And where do you think you are heading to?" She shot at me and her face twisted with disgust.

"I.." I tried to say but she would not allow me to spit out a single word from my mouth.

"But what?" She shot at me, foaming with anger. Do you think I didn't see the mail that he sent this morning or I am a fool? She shot at me. "You know I needed the money and what did you do, go late to work all because you wanted to punish me or what?" She shot at me while I continued to stare at her speechless for a while.

"But..." I tried to say but she would not give me breathing space to even finalize my statement.

"No, but." She shot a stare at me. "You are going back out there and I need that money. I don't care where you get it and how you get it. Just get it and until then, you can live anywhere else except here." She shot at me and closed the door tightly behind her.

I stared at her and I was about to sob but I was able to hold myself. This wasn't certainly the first time that this was occurring.

And I had always used that my mate would come one day to take me away from all these sufferings but he came only to break me even more. "I am never going to have anything to do with him again," I vowed silently with so much hate and outrage in my voice.

I stayed beside the house while the rain began to drop down slowly from the sky and I shivered hard from the cold.
