2. Dimitri

The yard was filled with guests both from our pack and the Savage pack. Why my parents invited them was beyond me but I didn't comment on it. I guess because they had invited them to their sons coronation a few years ago when the Alpha passed it down to his eldest son. Who even knows.

"Whats with the long face dude?" Jeremey asked and I shrugged

"Nothing man, I'm just looking for the perfect chick or guy to take to bed tonight" I said with a smirk making him roll his eyes

"You do know that you might find your mate some time tonight?" He asked but I shrugged

"What they don't know won't hurt them" I stated and he shook his head

"You're going to be fucked if they do find out and reject you" he commented before patting my shoulder and walking away leaving me to contemplate his words but I shrugged them of and took a sip of my beer as I scanned the yard for my next potential bedmate.

The sound of the speakers playing Heathens by twenty one pilots filled the yard as guest mingled with each other. I saw a few members of the Savage pack mingling with my pack and I saw one person in particular that I found attractive but she was already with someone and sighed. She's already mated. Damn it, all the hot and good looking people are either taken or I've already slept with them.

My parents were by the door talking to the former Alpha and current Alpha and their wives. The brunette held a baby of about 5 months on her hip while the young Alpha held a boy around 7 years old's hand. No one interested me in the slightest, downing my beer, I tossed it away and walked over to my friends.

"Couldn't find anyone?" Monica asked as she cuddled against her mate, one of the warriors of the pack. I rolled my eyes and shook my head making my friends shake their heads with chuckles.

~*~*~*~*~

"FUCK!" I growled as I pounded into Valery, one of my booty calls, and she moaned. Nails digging into ny back as she kept repeating faster harder over and over again. I could feel my release getting closer so I quickened my pace before groaning as I released into the condom before pulling out of her and tossing it into the bin before laying beside her. She was a panting and sweaty mess with her hair disheveled with her make up smudged

"That was the best fuck we've had" Valery said as she panted and rested her head in my shoulder and I chuckled

"Yeah, but now I have to go back outside since it's my party" I murmured and she nodded before sitting up letting me get of. I changed quickly making myself look presentable before going back downstairs and outside.

As soon as I stepped foot outside, I was assaulted with the most delicious and intoxicating smell that had my cock hard in seconds and my wolf growling in my head calling me stupid for having sex with Valery. I felt all eyes on me and I looked to see my parents shaking their heads in disappointment and I bit my bottom lip before walking over to them.

"You could have had the decency to at least shower before coming back outside" Dad hissed

"Don't make a scene Xavier" Mom said laying a hand on his shoulder but her eyes were locked on mine and I could see that she wanted to say something but kept her mouth closed. The smell from before once again assaulted my senses and I growled closing my eyes.

"Enough Dimitri" Dad ordered and I swallowed the lump in my threat and apologized. I looked at the yard to see my friends shaking their heads at me. I sighed running a hand through my hair. Maybe I should have waited until tomorrow to do what I did but it can't be changed.

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen. My wife and I are grateful that you joined us today in celebration of our eldest sons birthday. There comes a day where a parent has to step back and watch their child make mistakes as its part of growing up. I am proud of the man that our son has become and we want you, Dimitri, to know that we will always have your back in everything. We will always be there to keep pushing you to be a better man. To be a better Alpha and a great mate. Happy Birthday, son" Dad said and I gave him a faint smile before giving him a hug and my mother a kiss on the cheek.

I was about to say something when a faint scent of Jasmine and Vanilla assaulted my nose and I looked around the yard before Gray my wolf was shouting Mate Mate over and over in my head and I frowned as I couldn't find them. I felt my wolf take over and he carried me to a group of teens. I recognized them. They were always around the nerd of the school, Bennett Savage. And talking about him, he was laughing and joking around with his brother Christopher who rolled his eyes but a smile was still present on his lips.

"I'm glad that you and Brett made up" Bennett was saying and his voice was soft and gentle as he spoke and how did I never notice that? He had on a pair of gray skinny jeans, a white hoody and white converse with his glasses on his nose.

Mate Mate

I blinked and shook my head as I looked around the group of friends all of who were now looking at me with raised brows and Bennett was behind Chris holding onto his shirt and hiding his face. I frowned.

Why is he hiding? Gray asked with a whine and I replied that I didn't know. Why was Bennett hiding?

"Can we help you with something?" Julian asked with a perfectly shape brow raised and arms crossed

I shook my head to clear the fog that clouded my mind and Gray growled, clawing at my head to get out but I kept him locked. No way was the nerd my mate. I won't have that. I rather be mateless than be the laughing stock of the school.

MATE !MATE !MATE!

Gray shouted but I locked him out and looked at Bennett, and said "I would rather be mateless then be mates with a nerd like you" then walked away and back to where my parents. As I reached the stadium my mom did the unthinkable. She slapped me. I looked at her with wide eyes as she glared at me

"How could you?" She asked as she shook her head and apologized to the guests before telling them to leave. I could hear Bennett crying from where I stood and saw him clinging to his father all the while his mother tried to console him. His brothers looked up at me with such hatred that it had me cowering back.

You are an asshole Dimitri and until you decide to grow up you can forget that I'm here Gray growled before he was gone leaving me empty.

"We didn't raise you to be an asshole Dimi" Dad said as he glared at me with such hatred that had me whimpering

"You can forget about being Alpha. Until you mature and be the man that you are supposed and apologize to your mate for being an idiot, you will not take the title" He added before walking away with my mother and brothers following behind them. I staid outside in the empty yard looking at their retreating forms.

What the fuck just happened?

~*~*~*~*~*~

Not being able to talk to my wolf was the worst thing imaginable. I didn't think that it would be this painful to not have my wolf with me. Today was another day of hell...I mean school.

I walked down the crowded halls and frowned as the talking stopped when they saw me. Why were they looking at me like that? Do I have something in my face?

"Why is everyone acting strange?" I asked Jeremey who was grabbing his books from his locker beside mine

"Word got out about what happened Saturday. They all feel bad for Bennett" he replied and I furrowed my brows

"Why? They should be sorry for me for not getting the Alpha title" I said and he rolled his eyes

"You're the worst fucking person ever" we turned around to find Montana, Bennett's friend and his brother's mate, standing there with her arms crossed with the deadliest of glares that had my skin crawling and the hairs in the back of my neck standing

"Why are you here?" I asked and she sneered

"To tell you that you're a f-" she began to say but the strong scent of jasmine and vanilla entered my nose alerting me of Bennett

"Let it go, Ana" Bennett's soft and gentle voice said cutting her off

"But Benny" she murmured and I looked at him and saw him give his friend a reassuring smile

"It's his choice Ana" he murmured before grabbing her by the arm and pulling her away.

~*~*~*~*~*~

It's been exactly a week since I rejected Bennett and it's starting to take a toll on me. Gray won't utter a word to me but I could feel him in pain. Bennett's birthday wasn't until next year and by then I don't know if I'll still be alive because I can feel my life slowly being drained out of me as my chest ached. My parents nor my brothers talk to me and it sucked. I hated it being able to speak to them and ask them to help me with this pain but I was to much a coward to talk to them. I sighed, football season was slowly creeping up on us and I don't know if I'll be able to play.

"Fuck" I whimpered clutching my chest as a strong ache hit me that knocked the breath of out me. I could feel tears building in my eyes but refused to let them fall. This was my punishment for what I did to Bennett. I'll deal with this one my own. But fuck did it hurt like a mother fucker.

So much for having a great year. This is going to be the worst year of my life.
