Chapter 5: Mutual Rejection

[Alex’s P.O.V.]
Today was a big day. My Alpha succession ceremony was going to happen in a few hours, and it’s going to be a big and fancy ceremony. As I headed downstairs for breakfast, I saw Alphas from other races arriving with their Betas one after another. Some had brought their unmated daughters, hoping to find them their future husbands. But none of these women caught my eye.
After breakfast, I was tangled up with two Omega she-wolves who were trying to get me to f*ck them. Just as I was considering which one to take back to my room – or both – I smelled a strong odor like a mixture of nectarines, freesia, and roses. I had never smelled anything like it before, and I was entranced.
I immediately realized that it was my mate’s scent, and my wolf, Malcolm, was so excited that he urged me to leave the two she-wolves behind and head for the scent.
When I arrived at the door of the broom closet, I was even more certain of what I had been feeling for months – that the scent was coming from the room that belonged to the woman who had been most fierce to me, Rose. What a great irony that the Alpha’s partner was a useless slave. Malcolm urged me to go in. He couldn’t wait for me to have sex with my mate and place a Mark on her. Even though the smell made my dick erect, I had a plan in mind.
I pushed the door open and walked into the broom closet. I looked around and noticed that the room was clean, but it was small and old. I saw my mate Rose sitting on an old cotton wadding.
“I know you want to get out of here. The best way for you to get out of here is to become my mate.” I stood arrogantly before her. But she simply looked back at me quietly. She must have found out that I was her mate and was no longer daring enough to be as arrogant and fearless as before.
“But do you really think that I will accept this just because this is an arrangement of the moon goddess? Impossible. You are just a lowly servant, you don’t deserve to stand with me at all.” My heart started to hurt as I spoke. I even started to feel a little sad. I decided to end this rejection as soon as possible.
“I, Alex Wilson, the future Alpha of New Moon Pack, hereby reject you, Rose, as my partner.” As soon as I finished speaking, I felt that something wasn’t right. Rose did not seem panicked or regretful. Instead, she revealed a smile. Didn’t I just reject her?
“Thank you for your rejection, Alex.” The way she looked at me was very strange. Every word she said next shocked me even more.
“I, Rory Jeffrey Garner, the daughter of the late Alpha Austin Jeffrey Garner of Southern Wilderness Pack, and the heir of the Southern Wilderness Pack, hereby accept Alex Wilson’s rejection.”
“Your name is Rose! Not f*cking Rory!” I wanted to rush over to strangle her. This woman dared to so despicably reject me before I became an Alpha. But I quickly realized that the intense pain in my heart had made me kneel on the ground, unable to get up. I realized that this was her true identity.
“Alex, you are as stupid as your father. Rose is just a nickname that my parents gave me. But you bunch of perverted murderers and ambushers have cruelly killed my father and my pack!” She shouted at me loudly, her eyes were filled with hatred and tears.
“No...” I watched as Rose walked out of the room, but I was unable to chase after her because of the pain in my heart. Why did she seem fine while I was the one feeling like my heart was about to break? And Malcolm was sobbing sadly inside me. This must be a joke from the moon goddess. My partner was an Alpha, and I just rejected her?!

A few minutes later, my cell phone rang. I trembled as I swiped the screen to unlock my phone. It was my father asking me where I was and to get ready for the Alpha succession ceremony. After a few more minutes of rest, I struggled to get up and leave the crappy broom closet. The whole thing had been so frustrating. I swore that once I became an Alpha, I would make Rose my woman and torture her until she knelt and begged me.
[Rose’s P.O.V.]
I was in my room, tidying up my old clothes and waiting for the others to finish their breakfast before cleaning up after them. ƒ𝒓e𝐞we𝚋𝙣o𝚟𝚎𝘭.co𝙢
Suddenly, I noticed a tantalizing smell. I could feel Charlotte getting very active in my body. I had a feeling that my mate was about to appear.
The smell was getting stronger. The other party must have found me and was coming toward me. I sat quietly in my room, waiting to see what kind of person my mate would be.
The moment the door opened, I almost wanted to cry out loud in disappointment. My mate was the future Alpha of New Moon Pack, the son of my father’s killer, Alex. Any other she-wolf would have been overjoyed. But in my case, I could only feel disgusted and angry. This was the worst news I had received since my mother’s disappearance and my father’s murder.
I was trying to figure out how to end my relationship with Alex only for him to turn me down condescendingly. He thought I was looking forward to the Luna position of New Moon Pack as he mocked me like a victorious general. At this point, I was truly grateful to him. Instead of making me his subordinate, his rejection seemed to have given me a new life.
I immediately accepted his rejection and revealed my true identity as the daughter of the deceased Alpha of Southern Wilderness Pack along with my true full name. The moment I said those words, I could only imagine his shock and anger. But he was unexpectedly weaker than I had thought. My rejection had left him in so much pain that he couldn’t get up.
I opened the door to the broom closet and walked out after much effort. I leaned against the wall to rest for a while. Being rejected by my destined mate had hurt me both physically and mentally. But strangely enough, the pain of the rejection that I had felt was far less than what Alex had felt. This must have been a blessing in disguise from the moon goddess for me to get rid of New Moon Pack with no regrets. I needed to look for an opportunity to get out of this filthy place as soon as possible. Even if I had to wander around for the rest of my life, it would be better than staying here. Once Alex recovered and became the new Alpha of New Moon Pack, I would probably be dead meat.
Still, the sadness in my heart lingered for a while longer. I had just turned eighteen and was rejected by the mate that was supposed to cherish and protect me. Now, my life of wandering was about to begin. This was my destiny.
