Chapter 1

(I am not your mate)

Hazel's POV

The music was loud and it blared and my ears were almost throbbing in pain. If I had something better to do, I wouldn't have even been at this stupid party. I had a tray in my hand with tall glasses of fruit punch, wine and champagne. It was Logan's birthday party. He was the biggest dickhead that ever walked the planet and the soon to be Alpha of my pack. I hated him with every fiber in my body.

"Waiter, two drinks over here!"

I rolled my eyes and carried my tray to another table. They took the drinks and as I turned to get more servings, I bumped into my most hated figure. Even the devil was more preferable.

I looked up and saw Logan glaring down at me. The empty glasses that were on my tray fell to the floor and I bent down to pick them up and didn't utter a word to him. He was a bully and he bullied me most of all. I was used to it though; I was an Omega and Omega's like me received no respect from Alpha's like him.

When I picked up all the cups, I felt a sharp and painful tug on my hair and I was slowly brought to a standing position and looked into his furious eyes. I whimpered and he looked at me with so much venom.

"Watch where you're going..."

He sniffed me and his facial expression turned to that of disgust. As our eyes locked, I could hear my wolf in my head, howl, get excited and begin to prance around.

"Mate?" I said softly.

He angrily let go of my hair and I tried to run away from him but he pulled me into an empty room in his house. He pinned me roughly to the wall and bared his fangs at me.

"How dare you call me that!" he said in a growl. I whimpered in fear. I didn't want anything to do with him either. It's not like I chose him. I had no control over what I felt.

"I'm sorry."

"Stop talking, else I'll end your pathetic little life right here and now!"

I immediately kept quiet and stood as still as I could as he surveyed me with disgust and disdain.

"I want nothing to do with you. I'm Logan..."

He stopped mid-sentence and looked at me with hate. It was forbidden to reject your mate in the pack and he, being the Alpha's son, knew that better than anyone. I knew he wouldn't risk his father's anger. He looked at me from head to toe and almost wanted to spit in disgust.

"If you dare breathe a word about this to anyone, I will find you and kill you faster than you can take your next breath. Do I make myself clear?" His voice was a snarl and I could barely speak.

I was shaking in fear. My mate didn't want me and yet he couldn't reject me.

"Look at you. You're a weak and helpless Omega. I can't be mated to someone like you, not even if my life depended on it. You are such a disappointment and your parents should be ashamed to have someone as pathetic and low-life as you."

He let go of me and stepped back.

"Don't cross my path at this party again. In Fact, go home. I don't even want to see you."

With that he left and I fell to the floor in tears. I was a weak Omega and everyone in school made fun of me or used me as a punching bag. Everyday was lonely and full of pain and hurt and this was almost the peak of it: mated to someone who would never truly love me.

I had no idea how I would even begin to process all of this. School every day was already enough drama for me and i wasn't sure how much more I could take. I heard footsteps approach and voices. Soon the room door was flung open and a couple came in and were kissing each other hungrily. They didn't even notice me and I quietly slipped through the doors and headed out. I just wanted to go home.

As I tried to get through the crowds, I locked yes with Logan and he gave me the death stare which only hastened my footsteps. Soon I was out of the building and was heading home.

I got to the pack house, went into my room and unlocked the door. It took quite a while because the tears in my eyes were obscuring my vision. Soon I got in and locked the door as quickly as I could. I ran up to my room and flung myself on the bed and let my heart pour out all its sorrows. How could I be mated to him? Didn't the Moon-Goddess know that he hated me the most in the entire school. Wasn't she watching from above? My sadness weakened me and soon I drifted into the most uncomfortable sleep that I had ever had.

I got ready for school the next day and for all the drama that came with it.

 Last night still made my heart ache and I knew that I couldn't avoid Logan forever. I got ready and headed out. I got to school and everywhere was busy. I kept my head low so as not to attract too much attention and walked the corridors. I had managed to get through this far without anyone coming to harass me and that was probably a good sign. The bell for the first period rang and the hallways were cleared as quickly as it took to fill them up. My teacher was absent today due to an illness so I was going to head to the library to do some reading. I turned the corner and I stopped dead in my tracks. Logan was in the corridor alone with his girlfriend and–they were making out!

My sad heart almost wanted to shatter. They didn't even notice that I was there. I had no idea what to do or say. they kissed each other hungrily and Logan carried her up and she wrapped her legs around him. I couldn't watch anymore and I ran out as fast as I could.

I wanted to go and cry my misery out in peace under the bleachers when I heard someone call my name.

"Hazel?"

I looked up and saw that it was Alpha Draco.

"Hazel? Why are you crying?"

I tried to wipe my tears as fast as possible from my eyes but he had already seen them.

"Alpha Draco, good morning. What brings you to school today?"

I tried my best to avoid his question but he was going to find out soon enough.

'I actually came to school today because I have some important issues I would like to raise with the board. Now that I have answered yours, care to answer mine, my dear?"

I was Alpha Draco's personal maid and I knew for a fact that he was nothing like his son. He was kind, caring and sweet. He did have Logan's looks though. If I didn't know better, I could doubt that he was Logan's dad when it came to personality.

"Nothing sir, I'm perfectly fine. I can assure you."

"If you are perfectly fine, then why are you crying your pretty eyes out?"

I bit my lips to try and keep me from blurting everything out to him and he looked at me suspiciously.

"You do know that if something is bothering you, you can tell me, right?"

"I know Sir. I'm fine Sir."

"Well clean your beautiful eyes and cheer up. You are too beautiful to look like a sad sack of potatoes."

I giggled and actually felt a whole lot better. Being called 'beautiful' by the Alpha really improved my mood. He was so nice to me and I was so comfortable around him. He was like a father-figure to me.

He pulled me into a tiny hug and I felt my sadness melt away. He stroked my hair and I closed my eyes peacefully.

I opened my eyes and I felt my heart skip ten beats. There in the corner, beside the lockers, was Logan and he had the most venomous look I had ever seen. I gasped quietly and immediately felt my body become tense with fear. I was so dead.
