3~My Mate On My Wedding Day

(Silvermaw Pack) 

Previous Day. 

Kaizen's POV

I turned to my beta as he strutted into my office unannounced. I narrowed my eyes on him, he knew I hated to be disturbed when I'm working but he was the only one who could get away with that. 

He plopped down on the seat opposite me and grinned. He was annoying the fuck out of me right now. And I knew I was seconds away from lashing out at him. 

“What the fuck do you want?” I snapped, slamming my pen on the table. 

He rolled his eyes. “Calm down, Kai —” 

“Alpha.” I corrected, narrowing my eyes at him. 

“What?” He asked with mock innocence. I could see the glint of mischief in his eyes and I'll be glad to wipe off that smug look from his face. 

“It's Alpha Kaizen, you dimwit.” I snapped. “Now tell me what the fuck you want or you leave this minute.”

“A little grumpy today, are we?” I ground my teeth together. “Who am I kidding? When are you never grumpy? You have a stick shoved up your ass twenty four seven.”

I clenched my fist. “Sébastien.” I growled in warning. 

“Fine, fine. You got an invitation from the BlueMoon Pack.” He finally said. 

I raised a brow. “BlueMoon Pack?” I asked, glaring at the card in front of me. “I don't want to have anything to do with those fools. So, no, I'm not going anywhere. Throw it in the bin on your way out.” He said, passing back the card to Sébastien. 

“I think you should take a look at it first. It's stated that his son is getting married and the least we could do is attend. Other Alphas will be there too.”

“You think I care? The whole universe could go for all I fucking care. The wedding will still hold without my presence. I don't see why it's that important to attend.”

Why was Sébastien so eager to attend this event? Then a thought popped in my head. Sébastien had always liked the idea of mates, maybe he thought there was a possibility of him finding his mate there? Well, fuck. 

“You-?” 

“I guess you figured it out already. You think there might be a chance of finding my mate there? I know you hate the idea of mates but that doesn't mean that I do too.”

I scowled at his words. What the hell was he trying to say? “Then you can fucking go on your own. I don't see why I have to go when you're the one finding your mate.” I said, shrugging my shoulders. 

“Maybe because you're the Alpha?” He retorted sarcastically. “And you're the one that was specifically invited. I'm just going to be your plus one.” I could hear the pleading in his voice. Why was he so hellbent on finding a mate? I didn't need that shit in my life and thankfully, the moon goddess agreed with that. I don't need a mate now and would never need one in the future. 

“Plus one?” I snorted. “I think that should be a woman's job, don't you think?” His expression didn't change, making me groan. I didn't need this right now, there was a shit load of paperwork on my desk and all I want is to get this over and done with but I can't achieve that with Sébastien currently pestering the fuck out of me. 

“Fuck, man. Do you seriously want me to beg you?” Kai could see the desperation in his beta's voice and he sighed. Sébastien was his friend since childhood, being the former beta's son, they had practically grown up together, literally living next door from each other. If it were any other person, I would have blatantly refused and they wouldn't dare question me. But I could make an exception once, just this once. It couldn't be that bad, right? 

And with those thoughts, I sighed and replied. “Fine. We leave first thing tomorrow morning.” I grunted out. 

I watched as Seb's face split into a shit eating grin. He jumped out of his chair and attempted to hug me, I glared at him making him halt with his hands still outstretched to hug me. “Don't make me change my mind.” I growled in warning and he immediately put down his hands, shoving them into his pocket but he still had an annoying grin on his face. 

He knew I hated to be touched by anyone, but Sébastien being Sébastien would do anything to get on my last nerve. 

“You can leave now.” I waved him off, already looking through the papers that needed my signature. The only indication that he left was the sound of the door slamming shut. 

I so hope I won't regret my decision to go to the BlueMoon Pack. Well, it was just a wedding, right? Nothing could go wrong. 

It's just a wedding. I assured myself.

Next Day

The next day arrived much faster than I thought and before I knew it we were already dressed and ready to go to the BlueMoon Pack. 

A black sleek Suv was waiting in the driveway. Sébastien and I walked to the driveway and entered. He had cleaned up nicely, cutting his hair much lower and having a bit of stubble in his chin. He was really prepared to meet his mate. That was if she would be at the BlueMoon Pack. 

“Drive.” I ordered Tony, our driver. He immediately started the car, the engine purred as he zoomed out of the house and towards the outskirts of the Silvermaw Pack. 

We didn't make small talks throughout the drive. Sébastien looked so deep in his thoughts that he probably didn't know we had already arrived at the BlueMoon Pack. 

My guy was already whipped and he hasn't even found his mate yet. That was why I didn't need a mate, they made you weak. And I never want to be weak. I crave power like the very air I breathe and I'll be damned if I allow one so-called mate to spoil the reputation I had worked hard to build. 

I knocked Sebastián's head lightly with my fingers, and he was immediately snapped out of his daydream. He looked at me, my face curled in an unpleasant expression. He laughed and shook his head. “You wouldn't understand, man.” Sebastián chuckled. 

“Good. Because I never want to. Your love sick expression alone is making me sick to the stomach.” 

He rolled his eyes at my words but didn't say anything. The driver packed safely in the driveway and we got out of the car. 

I had once been at the BlueMoon Pack. A meeting that ended briefly and horribly. To put it lightly, it had ended with me strangling Alpha Tiberiu' son's neck for speaking to me disrespectfully. The boy could barely be considered a man, but here we are, already attending his wedding ceremony. 

As soon as we got down from the pack. A strange scent immediately hit my nostril. It was sweet and intoxicating, it smelled like vanilla and lilies. The scent caused my wolf to pace uncontrollably. 

“Do you smell that?” I asked Sébastien as he got out of the car too. 

Sébastien sniffed the air and scrunched up his face in confusion. “What? I don't smell anything. What does it smell like?” He asked. 

I shook my head, I was probably hallucinating. “Never mind.” I brushed off his question. 

We walked into the grand hall that was already crowded with people from different packs. Sébastien nudged me lightly, making me turn my attention to him. “I'll go get us drinks.” He announced, I nodded my head and he immediately walked off. I knew it was an excuse to try and look for his mate but I didn't comment on that. It was his life anyway. 

The closer I walked, the more the scent seemed to strengthen. The scent was so strong that I had to look around me to see if anyone else could perceive it. But they all looked normal as they made conversations with themselves. 

But, as soon as they saw me though their murmurs immediately died down as the entire room became silent. My wolf puffed out his chest in pride. I was feared by pack's all over the world, and it was a feeling I loved. Oh, how much I loved being in control.

I watched as they all cowered in fear, feeling a burst of pride inside me. They knew one mistake on their part and I would snap their heads right there without batting an eyelash. I was that evil and I was proud of every bit of it. 

Just as I was about to turn, I bumped into a small fragile body. I felt my shirt stuck to my body and I realized the unknown girl had spilled her drink on my expensive shirt. I felt anger surge through my bones. 

“What the fuck,” I growled out. 

The girl ducked her head down as if she was waiting to get hit. She immediately sputtered out and immediately started cleaning off the stain with her hands.“ Oh my goddess! I'm so sorry! I swear I didn't mean to, I wasn't looking at where I was going. Do you —” 

She gasped as she finally looked up and our eyes met. I took a step back as electricity ignited at her touch. All rational thoughts flew out the window as the only thing I could focus on was her mesmerizing blue eyes, I felt my cock twitch in my pants at the wide innocent look on her face. 

She was the most beautiful woman I had ever laid my eyes on. Her blue orbs stared into my soul as her blonde, almost white curls fell perfectly on her shoulders. With the same enthusiasm, I looked over at her features. Soft breaths passed through her cute, pointy nose. Seeing my intense gaze, her lips parted. My wolf growled in approval as her plump, reddish lips came into view.

My hooded eyes trailed down her body and my mouth curled into a frown. She looked thin and malnourished. Why would the moon goddess give me such a frail weak girl as a mate? Clearly, she must have made a mistake. After how hard I've worked not to see this day happen, the moon goddess decided to do this! 

I watched her mouth drop open and her eyes immediately watered in happiness. She gazed at me with teary eyes. “You're my mate.” She whispered ever so softly that if it wasn't for his enhanced heading, he wouldn't have caught the words. Her voice was like music to my ears. 

Finally coming back to my senses, I glared at her. “No, no I'm not.” I said harshly. “Now get your hands off of me this minute.” I barked, ignoring my wolf who growled at me for talking to our mate in that manner. 

She flinched at his tone as her eyes shone with unshed tears, I didn't miss the hurt in her expression. My cold heart skipped a beat, clearly she was slowly getting into my skin and I wouldn't allow that. Never. I don't need a mate. Not even a weak one at that. 

“I've waited so long to finally meet you.” She whispered softly. “Y-you have to stop this.You have to stop them. M-my father. They are planning to get me married to Leo. The Alpha's son. I don't want to get married to him, I want to be with you.” She pleaded. 

I felt jealousy consume me. She was getting married to Tiberius' stupid son? I had come all the way here to attend my own mate's wedding? Do I want to stop the wedding? Fuck, yes. Will I stop it? Hell, no. This was even better, she would get married to him and I wouldn't have to accept her as my mate. This was a good thing! She must be out of her mind if she thought I was going to come to her rescue like a damsel in distress. 

“Sorry, little princess but I don't want to be with you. I never wanted a mate and I certainly don't need one now. Go ahead and get married to your little boyfriend. I don't fucking care. And I don't ever want to hear a word about this from anyone. If anyone finds out that you're my mate, I'm going to fucking kill you.” I threatened cruelly, watching in satisfaction as her eyes widened in fear. 

“P-please don't do this. Why are you doing this to me?” Tears were falling freely from her face now. It was so damn hard to control myself from pulling her into my hands and tell her everything was going to be okay. But, nothing was going to be okay. It was clearly the mate bond talking. 

“I'm not doing this with you. Do not come anywhere close to me.” I spat in anger. Glaring at her one last time, I walked away from her feeling like a part of my heart was ripped out from my chest.
