Chapter 4

Amelia's POV

Everyone seemed to be so nice. So many of them has already found their mate. I was so happy for them. Everyone looked happy having to find their mate.

I have been walking around for sometime before going out to take some air. I looked around and saw a garden it was so beautiful. As I was about to go and see, I heard my name being called.

"Hey what are you doing outside? Come on in." Angela called me in. I nodded my head and went inside. The moment I went inside, I smelled vaguely an intoxicating smell. It smelt of chocolate and the forest.

It was too vague for me to put my finger on it. I wanted to go after the smell but I couldn't pin point it. So I shrugged it off. I went towards Angela and saw she was talking to some girls.

"Angela I am going to the washroom." I said as I excused myself. Luckily I was able to find the washroom. After doing my business, I came out only to smell the same scent as just now.

It was mouth watering. I followed the scent and hit something that seemed to be a wall. I stubbled back a bit before holding myself off.

When I looked up, I almost gasped. I saw the most beautiful eyes ever. Then I knew who it was. My mate. But what I realised was the power that was radiating off of him.

He held power like no other Alpha before. He's the Alpha King. I gulped when I realised that. No way. When I looked into his eyes, my heart broke.

It held embarrassment and disappointment. He let out a threatening growl before turning back on his heels and walking away.

I fall down in the floor, tears threatening to spill. I knew this is what was going to happen. He is going to reject me. Tears spill down my cheeks.

I sat down there for sometime before going back to the ball room, knowing Angela will be looking for me. When I went inside, I saw Angela looking for me.

I went towards her before masking a smile. "You ok? You were gone for some time. I was worried." she said looking worried.

"Its nothing. Just was feeling overwhelmed that's all." I lied. She nodded her head slowly. Just then I heard a thunderous roar.

When we looked towards the sound, it was the Alpha King. "EVERYONE LEAVE. NOW." he roared making all of us submit to him.

Without waiting another second, all of us left. I wanted to look back at him. But I fought that urge and left the place without saying another word.

Angela drove me back home, before going to the pack house. All the while I kept silent not wanting to say anything. Angela seemed worried about me but I told her it was nothing.

Not wanting to pester me, she let it be. As soon as she dropped me, I quickly went inside my house and ran to my room. Lucky for me, my parents were already asleep.

The moment I reached my room, I let out all the tears that were threatening to spill. My worst nightmare came true. My own mate rejected me.

It was an horrible pain. I can't believe this is actually happening. He is after all the Alpha King and would want a strong she wolf by his side and instead he got me.

A mere human. I was angry at myself. Why did I have to be human. Why? I was crying for hours before exhaustion took over me.

The next morning

I woke up with pain all over my body. I open my eyes to see I was lying in the floor. I didn't understand why before everything from yesterday came flooding back to me.

Tears threaten to spill again but I did not have the energy to cry anymore. So I wiped my tear stain face and went to my bathroom. I took a quick shower before, putting on a tank top and shorts as I put a baby blue jacket.

I went down to see my mum and dad doing breakfast. They looked so happy giggling and laughing. Looking at them made me sad immediately.

I erased those thoughts and went inside the kitchen. "Good morning princess. What time did you come yesterday? I didn't hear you come in." My father told me.

"A little after 12." I said trying not to show my emotions. He nodded his head before placing my plate in front of me.

"So princess, college is tomorrow. Are you ready?" My mum asked me. My eyes went as wide as saucers. I totally forgot.

"I need to go and get some stuffs." I said to my dad frantically. My parents laughed at my frantic face. "Don't worry. We have informed Angela about it and she said she'll come and bring you to get them."

I nodded my head. I wondered what happen after everyone left. Did he tell about me? Or did hide about it. I shuddered at the last thought.

I sighed not really wanting to think about it. I really wish he doesn't reject me. But I knew that is what's gonna happen.

Hopefully I could avoid him. I am not ready for the rejection. As I washed my plate, I heard a car pull up. Knowing its Angela, I opened the door for her.

"You ready?" she asked me. "Give me a moment. I'll grab my stuff." I said as I quickly went up and put my wallet and phone in a bag pack and ran down.

"I am ready." I said lowly. We went to her car as she drove us to town. The college has emailed me the booklist and everything I'll be needing.

I had most of the things and needed to get some books. "Can we go to a book store please. I need to get some books."

she nodded her head in silence. I know she wants to ask me something. "What happen yesterday? And don't day nothing." she said sternly.

How am I supposed to say. What am I supposed to say? I tried to come up with a lie. "Its nothing really. I was just disappointed that I couldn't find my mate. That's all."

"You sure?" She asked me questioningly. I nodded my head in assurance. Soon we reached the book store. I looked for the books I need and collected them.

I paid for my stuff and started to look for Angela when I saw her speaking to someone in the phone in a hushed tone. As soon as I came, she put down the phone.

"Shall we go?" I asked her. "Hey I am so sorry. I need to go to the palace urgently. The Alpha King is in rage and tearing everything apart. I need to go there."

"Can you drive yourself home. Thank you so much." She said hurriedly without letting me talk. Before I can say anything she left towards the woods, probably to shift.

I sighed. I didn't know how to drive. The car is parked in a corner luckily. I sighed as I walked. Its not that much of a long distance anyway.

I slowly walked along the road carrying my books in my bag pack. Suddenly I heard the thunder making me scream, and realise its gonna rain soon.

I then decided its faster to walk through the woods. I didn't want my books to get wet. So quickly I went through the woods and walked as fast I can.

That's when I heard a branch snap. My head quickly snapped towards the sound. When I smelt the air, I realised it was a rogue.

I let out a threatening growl. I may not be a wolf, but I still had my wolf instincts. I saw a dirty red wolf emerge from behind the tree.

I was scared when I saw it. But I am not going to show my fear to it. I let out a threatening growl. I saw the wolf smirk. It knows that I am a human.

Nevertheless, I am not going to show it my weakness. It lunged at me as I quickly dodged it. It hit the tree and fell down.

It quickly recover and searched for me. When it saw me, it ran towards me. I side kicked before it when banging into the trees.

Without wasting much time I started to run as it followed me.
