Chapter 2

Scarlet Pov

I wear a causal red gown and steps out of the room. I know it looks too simple but it’s all I have.

I join the crowd and I look way different from all of them. They are all wearing a nice dress as though it was a proper occasion and not just an expectancy of the full moon.

I have no friends and it just makes everything so odd for me. I stay at a corner and I watch the guy I saw from earlier stepping out of his ride. Along with the other guy I saw with him.

As soon as he is out the crowds burst into a loud cheers. For a second I thought it was the full moon already, unknowing those cheers were for him. Is he that popular to get this kind of reactions from the students?

He smiles at them and then a lady suddenly runs to hug him. That lady, is Bella. It looks like the whole school knows that they are dating and they expect them to be mates tonight.

I watch as the two of them walk away from his ride and goes into a corner to also prepare for the coming of the full moon. I watch how he smiles from afar and he doesn’t really look weird as I thought earlier, just that I couldn’t understand why he looked at me that way.

“It’s almost time you all prepare!” The ladies smiles as they all hold their partners. Some people like me, where only few and we just expect the moon without hoping to meet our mates tonight.

“ oh my god it’s almost time!” Jane screams as she squeezes into the guy’s chest, who is standing so close to her like he’s about to kiss her.

“ Few minutes guys!” Cora screams, she’s also standing beside a guy who couldn’t tear his eyes off her lips. It makes it so obvious for me that I’m lonely and I do not have my mate here. Well, I don’t think I’m affect at all because I don’t expect to find my mate here tonight.

A guys comes behind me and touches my shoulder, so I could turn to see him. “ hey, are you new here?” he asks as he stands beside me.

“ Uh, yeah I am.” I say rubbing my arms nervously.

“ Guess you are not expecting your mate tonight?” he chuckles, and I smile in a way weird way to ask him what he meant by that question.

“ Nah. Mine isn’t here. Maybe one day we will find ourselves.” I smile as turns away from him.

“Cool so what’s your..”

“1…2…” the screams interrupts him.

“3!” The final screams as the full moon erupts through the thick dark cloud..

People began to scream mates as they find theirs. I cheers to the full moon, and suddenly I begin to feel a strange heat inside of me!

Damn it what’s that? I scream. “ Mate!” Something scream inside of me and she screams my name, “ Scarlet it’s me your wolf! My name is Iris.” She sounds excited and I’m shocked.

“ Jeez, I didn’t know you would be coming out tonight?” I ask as I feel the joy in her, wondering why she was so excited.

“ Scarlet our mate is here!” She screams again and I’m stunned because who the heck will it be when everyone is already with their mates and they are all trying to bond together?

I scan for Cora and she is mating with her guy. I scan for Jane and she’s with her mate! Also Maria founds her mate too.. but where is Bella? I wonder.

My wolf suddenly screams, “ our mate is Noah!” As soon as I heard that my stomach flips. No it can’t be..

Noah? But I can’t hear him screaming out to me. If I was his mate he would have come to find me.

“ Iris it can’t be Noah. Noah can’t be our mate.” I argue as I feel the heat hotter within me. I hate to believe that he is my mate , but I can feel it’s true.

He is..

He is mine.. ours.

“Go find him and tell him! Scarlet he is your soul partner and the two of you are bonded together!” Iris explains and she is right.

Shit, I begin to feel an unexplainable joy as I think about it that Noah is my mate. I feel lucky because he is the cutest guy I’ve ever seen and jeez he is mine, we belong to each other!

“ Yes, Iris you are right. We need to tell him that he belongs to us.” I scream excitedly as I begin to run into the crowd to look for Noah.

I search through the crowd and he doesn’t seem to be there. As I’m about to scream his name.. someone suddenly yanks me from behind.

I turn to see and it’s him. His eyes are not the same anymore.  His faces looks like he is fuming in anger. I open my lips to speak and it closes.. I’m nervous.. the look in his eyes is scary.

“ Noah.. I’m your mate!” I break the news to him excitedly and I suddenly hear a female cry behind him. The voice.. sounds like Bella’s..

“ Don’t you ever!” He roars, that every single person around turns to watch us.

“ What?” My heart shakes. Trying to understand what he meant.

I don’t wait for him to explain, I just go ahead to tell him, “ Noah.. I know it’s the first time we are meeting but this is our destiny now. I belong to you and you belong to me and no one else.” I explain with a glimpse of hope in my eyes.

“ My mate?”he scoffs, laughing at me like I have just uttered hogwash.

“ Goddamnit I can’t have a girl like you as my mate. Do you think you are up to my standard to become my mate? You are useless.

Can’t you see Bella? She is my type of girl! You are no class with her!” He spits at my face, and my heart cracks inside my chest as I take a step back in grief.

I fought back my tears as I summon some courage to speak, “ Noah, you can’t say that to me. I belong to you and not Bella. Bella is not yours, but me Noah!”

I didn’t realize when a tear broke out of my eyes. He’s mine and he just rejecting me for Bella.

 “ Noah..” my lips shake as I become speechless.

“ I don’t care what the moon goddess says. I love this girl and I want her! She has everything I want in a lady. She is beautiful, she has the standards and we’ve been dating for so long!” he yells..

“ Noah we…” he comes to stop whatever I’m about to say as he holds my neck in front of everyone.

“ Don’t you ever try to come in between us. I reject you as my mate and you are free to find any other guy!” he yells aggressively to my face and pushes me backward as soon as he finished speaking.

He grabs Bella’s wrist and walked away, away from me.. Away from the true lover of his life..

I never expected my mate to treat me this way. I have always thought of finding my mate one day and we would have the most sweetest love life in existence. Not this..

Not this heart break and rejection..

I crash..

Shattered on the inside.. I’ve never hated myself like I do right now..

I’ve never felt hurt like I am right now..

Everyone stares at me with disgust. Like I just did something I should never have done.

“ Hey, Scarlet I’m sorry about this but you have just messed up. You don’t know who Noah is.” Maria hiss, shaking her head in disgust and walks away.

I squeeze my chest so hard trying to hold the tears back. I feel the worse right now, most of all my hearts breaks that I have just been rejected by my mate..

All the dreams I had of my mates has just been shattered before my very own eyes..

I should never have expected this much ..

I should never have fallen in love with him before meeting him…

But, I have done nothing wrong. Noah is my mate and I have done nothing wrong.

He has just rejected me for someone who isn’t his mate but someone else..

His words plays in my head and I break even more. I’ve never been compared like this in my life. He made he feel like a shit..

And I regret every thoughts I had of him..

I could no longer hold the tears, I begin to run away from the crowd. Running away from everyone including my roommates!
