Chapter 4

~Rejection~

Mae's POV

I am now here at Mr. Maxwell’s office. This room is so cool.

I can see a display and paintings that is so related or connect to a wolf. While looking around, a nice and beautiful necklace with a pendant of a crescent moon caught my attention. I walk closer to it like, it’s been calling to me. I was about to touch it when my head hurts. No, not exactly my head, but my forehead. Damn, this wide forehead.

"Mae, Are you alright?" Mr. Maxwell

"Yeah, I'm fine Mr. Maxwell." I response nicely.

"Take a sit please." Mr. M, short for Maxwell.

"Why did you summon me in here Sir?” - me

"Oh, about that.. As a punishment, I want you to tour around and guide my son until he get use to it.” Mr. M

"Huh? But why? Is your son pain in the ass, so throw him in here?" I cover my mouth as soon as I realize what I have said. I thought he will get mad, instead I heard his week laughter.

"Haha, Just like I thought, you’re perfect for this assignment. You are amazing kid.” He said

"Is that so? I will do my best. Just hoping, I can stand your son’s attitude." I said the last part in whisper.

"Hahaha I’m sure, he is the one who can’t stand long to you. And maybe, I will see him like a dragon because of the invisible smokes going out from his nose" I also laugh at what he said.

"Can I go now, Mr. Maxwell? It’s already lunch break, I’m a little hungry. If it isn’t because of that traitor, I’m already done eating.” I said.

"Hahaha, Yeah sure, by the way his Michael Zekiel Maxwell, and he will start by tomorrow." Mr. M

"Noted on that Sir. I have to go." I said before I leave his office.

Awesome, I can’t believe it. It’s true, they are real, werewolves are real. I’m so happy especially now that I already meet one of them, a supernatural creature.

And I’m lucky, I will be a tour guide of soon to be alpha. But of course, I have to act normal, like I didn’t know what are they. Like duh, it’s freaking confidential.

I’m sure that Clair and Mary already ate. I just texted them that I’m eating my lunch.

Michael's POV

I arrived at Maxwell University that’s own by my family. I didn’t even know that he has a human school, if I’m not going to study here.

I heard a whispers from random girls while I’m walking. Now I am confident that I am a handsome guy. Even in this school I am a talk of town.

'Is he new? He’s like a Greek God. So handsome.’ Girl 1

'Are you crazy? You didn’t know him? He is the first son of Mr. Maxwell, the owner of this school.’ Girl -2s

'Oh my... You’re right girl. I thought he’s studying in state, what is he doing here?’ G1

'To study, maybe.’ G2

'Oh my, it means we can see him everyday? That’s so exciting.’ I just ignore everything they are saying.

One of the pack warrior open the office door of my dad for me.

"Take a sit son." -dad

"Dad, Are you sure about this? I think, I can learn more at Max over Maxwell." I complain.

"Yes, and besides maybe you will find your mate here."

"What? Are you crazy dad? In here at human school? You've got to be kidding me."

"Why? Any problem with that? Moon Goddesses don’t have favoritism on choosing a mate for everyone of us. So you must accept your mate whatever or whoever she is."-Dad

"Whatever dad. My mate is a she-wolf not a human."

"Son, I’m expecting something more to you. I just hope you won’t do something that you will regret at the end." After he said that, I went out of the room and decided to walk around.

I saw a mini forest while walking. So I walk in from entrance.

I’m walking towards to a big tree which I guess the center of the mini forest. On my way, I smell something great. It’s smell so freaking good, like it’s hypnotizing me. So I did follow the sweet strawberry chocolate scent from the air. I stop when I saw a girl with dyed brown hair. I can tell that it is dyed because of it’s showing virgin hair.

"Mate" the word that I and my wolf uttered when I meet her chocolate eyes.

Mae's POV

After I finished my meal, I went to my favorite spot in this university, the Mini Forest. I like this place because of the fresh air due it’s surroundings. Trees and a small lake.

I just sit down near the lake and set my feet under the water, it’s so refreshing. While taking a rest, I felt a presence, someone is coming near my direction. I just acted like I didn’t notice whoever it is, until he stop behind me.

Something strange is happening. I felt like there is something pushing me to face the person’s standing behind me.

I feel my heart beats fast when I smell a manly menthol scent from my back. I’m sure it’s a expensive perfume. I didn’t waste much time, I stand up from sitting and face this owner of a so addicted scent.

I met his beautiful eyes. He has this black pair of eyes, dark like a night without moon and starts that’s perfectly suits his beautiful godlike face. He also have this perfect body built. But what shocked me is the word he said.

"Mate." Sya.

Wait, Mate? Don't tell me, he is a werewolf? And mate? Is he referring to me?

"Fuck, why does it need to be a human?" He whisper to himself but I manage to hear it.

So it’s really me, I’m the only human this place where we are standing. It’s pretty obvious that he doesn’t like the idea of having a human mate huh.

I think I have an idea what will happen next. It makes me feel sad, I didn’t even know if it is good that I am his mate and not just other human who doesn’t have any idea about their kind.

He will say it.

"I, Michael Zekiel Maxwell, rejecting whoever you are as my human mate and a future Luna of Crescent moon pack."

Pain. That is the only emotion that I can feel right now. I shouldn’t get hurt, I’m used to get any hurtful words and action, even physical pain, I can endure any of it because I am used to it.

But why does it hurt right now? Is it because of that mate bond? That’s bullshit.

I just ignore him and walk away from that place, away from him.

I can’t accept the rejection. I know he’s not use of rejection even to get hurt because he’s a noble man. But me, I can handle it, since I’m a human and I grew up without care from anyone’s opinion and feelings. But why I do care for him? Why do I care even if it might cause his death?

You read it right, he might die. Whoever rejected it’s mate and accepted by the other half, The one who rejected it’s mate will die slowly while the other half will be given a second chance mate.

And I can’t just let him die because of me. Maybe this set up is fine.

"Mae? What happened?" Mary asked. I am now at the quarters of Taekwondo team.

"Huh?" confusedly i look to my team mates, they are giving me this concern look.

"You’re crying, what’s wrong? Something happened?” Clair asked. Oh, she’s here, I didn’t notice her, I thought she’s gone home.

Am I crying? I wipe my right cheek, it’s true, it’s wet. I’m unconsciously crying.

"Tsk. It’s nothing, just some dust got into my eyes. You’re all over reacting" -me

"That dust is unbelievable, it got your face wet all over. " -Mark one of my team mate.

"Anyways, What’s Mr. Maxwell said, Mae?"- coach

"Ah... Nothing much coach, I just have to be a tour guide of his new transfer son starting tomorrow. " I said and get my things to go home early.

"Coach, I can’t join to our training tonight, I just still have a project to be done first."-me

"Okay, alright. Take care on your way home. Just inform us if you at home already"-coach. I just nodded at him as an answer.

While walking, I made up my mind. If I can hide my presence, it means I can hide my smell too? I sigh, I will hide my presence first, hoping that it might hide my scent too.

When I got home, I will surely study how to hide my scent to anyone.

Damn it, this is frustrating, it’s so irritating. This freaking pain caused by the rejection. Is this a feeling that they are saying, like the story I’ve read in stories? I thought it’s not real.

Tsk, what a tiring day.
