Chapter 4

“Tell em’ it’s my birthday when I party like that,

every night’s my birthday,”

- Birthday by Selena Gomez

I winced as I tried to get out of bed. Stupid Caleb made me go for the training and guess what? I was the punching bag again. I had an amazing day yesterday. Just dandy.

“Get up Scarlett. Time to get ready for Caleb’s stupid birthday party.” I grumbled to myself, rubbing the sleep away from my eyes. I got up from my bed and started to the bathroom to do my morning routine. After getting ready, I put on a big shirt and a pair of sweatpants.

Today is the day of Caleb’s birthday. On a Saturday. Why not on a school day?

I went into the kitchen and started getting the batter ready for the cake. I made a double layer chocolate cake with peanuts on the side and chocolate icing. Once it was done, I put it in the fridge and went into getting the alcohol and other things ready. I was limping slightly and that sucked.

‘Scarlett. What are you going to do today?’ My wolf said to me. ‘Die in a hole.’ I smirked.

‘Be my guest.’ My wolf said sarcastically. I laughed. I decorated the house and lay out the table. I was mopping the floor when I heard a freaking high pitched giggle that almost punctured my ear drums. Of course, who else? My sister. I stopped mopping and raised one hand to my ear and rubbed it a little. Who giggles like that? I heard Lindsay coming down the stairs and I resumed my mopping. That slut asked me to call her Luna. Fine since it’s been her dream to be one. I went along with it if it makes Lind happy. When she reached the bottom of the stairs, I bowed at her. “Good Morning Luna. Breakfast is on the table Luna.” I said, gesturing to the table. She glared at me then smirked.

“You’re dismissed Omega.” She said pulling out the word ‘Omega’. “Yes Luna.” I said and walked up the stairs. I changed into a tank top and wore a hoodie over it and put on some high-waist denim shorts which I normally don’t. I tied my hair in a ponytail and slipped on my old purple ankle top Converse. No one has ever seen me dressed like this so I hope they don’t notice me. I pulled up my hoodie and started walking downstairs.

As I walked downstairs and passed Caleb’s room, his room door opens and he steps out. I take a few steps back so I don’t hit him and that’s when I smell the most amazing smell of pine cones, Axel spray and the smell of the dried leaves in the forest. I blinked and quickly sped down the stairs trying to get away from Caleb and his confrontation. I heard movement behind me and a pair of arms wrapped around my waist jerking me back into a rock hard chest. I struggled as Caleb held me to his chest and put his face on my shoulder. “Stop moving.” He said in a husky voice. I struggled more because I didn’t want him to see me. I was scared of him. Scared of being confronted. It was too early to be confronted by Caleb. He tightened his grip.

“Stop moving now.” He said, his husky voice laced with a bit of Alpha authority. I stopped struggling and relaxed. There were tingles going up and down my body and my wolf was yipping with joy. Caleb slowly lowered me and unwrapped his arms from around me. I lowered my head and was quite disappointed that I tied my hair up. I stood still with my back still towards him, not daring to move or turn around. “Turn around and let me see your face.” He said. I turned around but kept my head down. I needed to get out of here now. Badly. He puts his fingers on my chin and tried to tilt it up so that he could look at me. I resisted.

“Why aren’t you letting me see you?” He growled. “You wouldn’t like what you see.” I said. He snarled. My heartbeat quickened, it was very scary. “You’re my mate. I’ll love you no matter how you look.” He snarled again. I breathed in then slowly lowered my hood then looked into his blue eyes. He gasped and growled. “Why?! Why you?!” He growled then lunged for me, I stood still. He wrapped his hands around my neck and slammed me into a wall. The impact making me wince.

“I don’t want you. You disgust me. You’re an Omega. Even your parents don’t care about you. You’re fat, ugly, disgusting, dirty and worthless. You’re a slut. We aren’t meant to be. We are from different worlds. I have the highest position whilst you have the lowest. This is all a mistake. I, Caleb Dominic Asher reject you, Scarlett Rose Davis. ” He said to me. Disgust was clear in his voice and face. I wasn’t fit to be a mate, a disgrace. A disappointment, a mistake. I gulped and my vision became blurry. I blinked and let my tears fall. I had to accept the rejection. I had to for him. Anything for him.

“I, Scarlett Rose Davis accept your rejection.” I said in a trembling voice.
