Chapter 2: Misconception

Stacy:

“let's get this done and over with, just get the rejection.” His words shattered my heart, I shook my head, moving closer as my tears were already dropping. “c'mon Stacy stop with the drama, you and I know you don’t want me, you wanted the Alpha, and there he is right beside you, I could give you the rejection and then you could be free to be with him, you don’t have to run from me anymore.” I swallowed hard wiping my face, he misunderstood me, it was not what he was thinking, I didn’t want the alpha, it was him, that I wanted, I wasn’t running away because I didn’t want him, it was just that, I don’t know that he is my mate.

“It's just a misunderstanding, let me explain?”

“Explain?” he asked tauntingly, and I foolishly nodded to him, “There is nothing to explain, I know you always wanted to be a Luna and I can’t give you that. I am nothing but just a beta…”

“There is nothing like just a Beta, you are a beta and you are…”

“Enough…” he interrupted me, “let's not make it hard for each other, I will give you the rejection, so you can stay with the man after your heart, the alpha is yours, go be with him and be the Luna, you always wanted to be.”

“No Brake, you don’t understand me, you are not getting me, I thought my mate was someone else, I didn’t want to be with him, fine, I should have found out who he was before I ran off but I swear to the goddess, I have no idea that you are the one the goddess had fated to me…” I smiled between my tears.

“So you want me to believe you?” he asked without emotions, I nodded to him. He shakes his head. “even you can’t believe yourself. Let me remind you of your words, I want to be a Luna, it would not be a bad idea, to wake up beside an alpha and walk in the Pack while everyone’s heads lower as I walked gracefully with my head high up. I would rather have a chosen one than have a fated one that is not an alpha. I will reject my mate if he is not an alpha and I am not one.” I grabbed my hair in pain, I know I said that, I couldn’t lie, I said that but I am saying the truth, I love Brake, even if he is not an Alpha. “Now, here I was giving it to you, why aren’t you accepting it?” I parted my lips to say something but his husky voice came out. “now I bruise your ego, you were thinking of doing that to me but I beat you to it and that is the reason you are hurting.”

“Brake shut up for once, and listen to me.”

“There is nothing to listen to, now let me give you the rejection, I, Beta Brake Rex…” I smashed my lips against him before he could complete the rejection, but he jerked me from himself pushing me, I was feeling hopeless while I struggled to find something to hold me, before a strong arm wrapped around me, stopping me from falling, I look at Alpha Bellini, our eyes locked and Brake applauded us, “wow, so romantic, what a knight in shining armor or should I say suit?” I free myself slowly from Bellini.

“Bellini…”

“Wow, you are now on a first-name basis, how many times, has he pushed his junk into your trunk.”

“Watch your words Brake, or you will have me to contend with.” He growled and I moved my gaze to him, he sighed wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead. “Sorry, I will just wait over there.”

“Thank you…” I said as he took two big strides away from us, I tilted my head to Brake.

“Wow, you have him wrapped around your fingers, he was apologizing to you and he was ready to throw punches at me because of you, it’s him right? He is just the perfect alpha that you want for a mate. You like the aura surrounding him?” I shut my eyes and inhale deeply.

“Brake, stop talking nonsense. You can’t just reject me like that?”

“Why? So because I am your mate, you think that I couldn’t make the choice? Stacy things are not done that way, you could throw me out and ask that we end our relationship because you think I am insecure and then you flirt with the alpha thinking that he will turn out your mate, and now that he hasn’t turned out your mate, you think I am your substitute?  And I do not have the right to reject you but newsflash, the mere fact that my wolf kept referring to you as my mate in my head, sounds sour and it makes me want to puke.”

“Brake, what are you saying? If we are not made for each other, the goddess will not have fated us.”

“How logical? Now you are saying you want me because the goddess thinks that we are both good enough for each other. Maybe, you forgot something, the goddess didn’t turn me into an alpha, I am still dancing around that rank that you are going to reject if he turns out to be your mate. Stacy, I don’t think you are good enough for me.” I swallow hard, pressing my palms on my cheeks to prevent my sobbing sound, “for months, I spent my time and put in my heart, just to show that I'm worth more than ten thousand alphas for a mate. I wanted you, and despite knowing that would not be fated to each other, I was ready to choose you. I don’t want that logic, I don’t want you to choose me because someone else thinks we are good enough for each other. Stacy, would you have chosen me, if the goddess wasn’t involved?” I wanted to nod but his words blocked me again. “no, I guess you wouldn’t. Stacy, I am tired, I want someone who loves me for me, not someone who thinks we are good enough for each other because someone said so. I think it’s the right time that I learn to love myself and not force myself on anyone, I know I deserve better, and I deserve someone that will love me for me.”

“Brake, let me explain, I love you, I have always loved you and I did not choose you because the goddess gifted…”

“If you don’t want rejection, then you should bear the pains, and you will come begging for rejection…”

“what are you going to do?” I asked, as he took two big strides and swung a woman, causing her to fall on his shoulder, his hand gripping the female waist.

My stomach dropped when his hand was resting on her hip, and she giggled as he pulled her closer. My heart shrieks. I thought it was over but his lips came crashing on her. Kissing her passionately, pain surged through me and I felt like I was having a shortage of breath

It's like I am going to drop dead, yet I can’t move from my spot and I can’t even move my eyes from them, my heart bleeds and my wolf wasn’t making it easy for me, She sobbed as rejection ran her vein as well.

I clutched my chest, trying to fight the pain but it wasn’t something I could bear, my eyes stung with tears and they streamed down my cheeks, I know I am not perfect but I don’t think I deserve this pain.

'sky please stop it,' I told my wolf, holding my head, begging her with tears, she wouldn’t listen and now she is mad at me.

'it is all your fault, you caused it, now he doesn’t want us,' this time, I turned everyone is blaming me for things that I did, it’s just a wish, I didn’t see any crime in wishing, I run through the woods, not bothered to look for Alpha Bellini, I just race to the opposite direction, I crouch beside, a tree and there and cry out my eyes and the pain wasn’t something I could handle, I was looking so pathetic, sitting there and crying when I heard footsteps, and that smell, I know that it’s Brake. Why is he following me?

“Are you ready to accept the rejection, or maybe, you want me to grab a girl and have sex with her, right in front of you?” I shake my head.

“It's enough, I will admit it’s my fault but please don’t make it hard for me because I will not let you reject me, I will not accept it. If you want me to prove to you, that I love you then I will. I want you Brake, I want my mate,”

“You want your mate?” his voice was taunting and his eyes flickering, they were turning bloody, I gulped my saliva, swallowing an invisible lump in my throat. As he came closer, I almost wanted to cower and run away. “That is what you want right?” I nodded in fear, and then he ripped his jacket and tossed it away and his eyes raked my skin. I took a step away from him, as my heart couldn’t process what he was doing. “What are you doing?”

“Being the mate, you wanted.”
