04~ Rejected rejection

Zoe

I did a hair toss before doing a shoulder move then I rolled my hips in a circular motion, then went lower towards the floor with my hip roll, got up slowly whining my waist sexily as I grooved to the music. The guy behind me put his hands on my hips following my movements grinding as I rubbed my ass on his crotch not missing the hard rock thing that was now poking my butt. I looked up slightly and smirked tauntingly when I saw the seething Alpha.....

.....

Tiffany and I had arrived a bit late for the mating ball. She kept changing her outfits because they didn't appeal to her. I ended up making the decision for her to avoid spending another extra hour getting ready.

Now fully dressed in a royal blue off shoulder gown with a high split, she looked beautiful.

It was not hard for me to pick what to wear; I wore a red two piece suit consisting of a lace crop top and a long high split skirt for easy movements, adding black sandal high heels and styled my hair in a classy high pony tail with curled bangs on the sides. Topping it up with a red lip, giving me a confident look. 

Walking through the huge golden doors of the ball room, I scrunched my brows at the stench of sex  that hang in the air. The ball had began an hour ago and it was now a bit messy, the chairs and tables were moved to the side as the dance floor was becoming too small for all the newly mated wolves who wanted to dance with each other.

They kept humping and rubbing on each other making them fill the hall with their arousal scents. The elder wolves had left to have their own party, probably to give these excited young ones some space. 

"Wow... it looks like we are too late, how would you scent out your mate in this place?'' Tiffany said while looking around, probably looking for a hook up for the night. "You have to get laid tonight," she suddenly said. 

I raised my eyebrow at her. 

"Do you see anyone worthy to touch me in here?" I asked haughtily and she rolled her eyes. 

"Yeah, yeah, your majesty. No one is worthy of thy graceful self," she mocked playfully, bowing dramatically. I didn't think my mate was here as every one seemed to be humping each other or sucking each other's face off.

Only my mate would be worthy of popping my cherry. But I didn't say that aloud because she thought I had it popped  years ago....

"Let's get out of this shithall, smells like a brothel," I said feeling angry at the flash of a memory that went through my mind. I turned to leave when a soft voice stopped me in my tracks....

"Whoa... Don't leave the party yet. You look beautiful just like a goddess so I will you call you my goddess for the rest of the night," the guy who had stopped us spoke and I rolled my eyes. Was that a pick up line? So cheesy. 

"My name is Lewis Wesly Hendrix, beta of blackmist pack," he said with a cocky smirk and I cringed. What the hell?

"Tif lets go," I told her finally walking towards the entrance as she followed me behind stifling her laughter. 

"Whoa, whoa, chill goddess, don't you girls want to hang out or something? I have a friend and he can hang out with your friend here and I with you... I set my eyes on you tonight princess," he winked whispering huskily. It was supposed to be sexy but for some unknown reason I felt a flash of irritation rush through me. 

"This friend of yours.. is the Alpha I presume?" I asked arching an eyebrow as I folded my arms in front of my chest.

"So you find hook ups for him too? Useless jerks," I spat harshly and his eyes widened, shocked that I wasn't falling for his charms. He was good looking alright, blue eyes, blond hair, a perfectly defined jaw and a wide chest that probably had abs but he wasn't my cup of tea.

Not wanting to waste anymore time, I gave him the stink eye and left hoping he had gotten the message. After walking out of the entrance and entering the reception I sighed. 

"Imagine the nerve of that guy, I know I'm beautiful but I wouldn't hang out with the likes of him. He's clearly a playe-" I stopped mid-sentence when I turned and found that Tiffany had remained in the hall. Probably about to indulge in her sexual escapades. 

I continued to walk out elegantly, chest out with head held high when I bumped into a hard wall. Ouch... I grabbed my forehead but then a strong intoxicating scent hit me and I inhaled deeply, sandalwood and citrus...so divine. My wolf was panting in my head and realization hit me. 

Looking up slightly, my heart raced when I saw what I had bumped into or rather, who.

A tall handsome figure towered over me and looked down at me with a frown on his face. He had stormy grey eyes and short hair that was cut on the sides but longer in the middle. 'Mate! Mate! Mate!' My wolf's voice snapped me back to my senses and I jerked back. 

Mate? I trailed my eyes over his body to fully take him in. He was fucking gorgeous. Dressed up causually in black pant-trousers, a white tee and a black blazer, he looked hot. The fabric of his tee was so thin, I could make out the perfectly sculptured abs on his chest. I gulped as my gaze shifted to his devilishly handsome face which still had a frown. 

"Name?" He asked coldly, his gruff voice sending jolts of electricity that rushed through me all the way to my core making it clench with an ache. 

"Zoe Chloe Anderson," I said but I couldn't read the expression on Mr grumpy. 

"I James Tyler Carter, Alpha of black mist pack, reject you Zoe Chloe Anderson as my mate and luna," he smirked but I furrowed my brow. 

"But... why?" I asked confused. 

"I don't need a mate. I'm fine on my own! I don't want some she-wolf up in my business!" He roared arrogantly and I flinched. 

The heart-wrenching pain I felt from the rejection ripped through me making me clench my fists and gritting my teeth. My pride wouldn't let me cry out loud, I wouldn't give him the satisfaction. Raising my head elegantly, I looked him straight in the eyes and scoffed.

"I Zoe Chloe Anderson of White mist pack, reject your rejection. Humph!" Smirking proudly at the shocked expression on his face. Flipping my hair, I walked outside gracefully while swaying my ass. 

The fresh air outside the reception hit my face and I inhaled. I scoffed in disbelief as it just registered that I had met my mate after a long time and he had rejected me. 

Was that guy blind? Otherwise, why would he reject me? His beta said I look like a goddess. Who wouldn't want a taste of me? How dare he....

Whatever! His loss! I convinced myself but to be honest, I wanted to bury myself in bowl of ice cream and cry my eyes out. It hurt so bad, but there's no way in hell I would I let him know that or anyone for that matter. 

He's not that hot after all...'Oh he definitely is,' my wolf purred. 'Did you see his well toned figure? or his lips? I wanted to kiss them so bad....go after him and lay one on him forcefully,' Chloe said as she kept sending x-rated images of my hot mate in my mind. 

Wait a minute... a crazy idea suddenly came to my mind. Rushing back inside, I just saw him enter the ballroom after talking to another Alpha. I passed by him in a flash looking for the guy called Lewis smirking slyly. 

Finally spotting him in a corner talking to some she-wolf, I walked over to him and tugged at his sleeves. "How about that dance?" I asked seductively knowing James's gaze was on me the whole time. 

Lewis looked shocked at first but smiled when he probably thought I was playing hard to get earlier. If only he knew.....

Moving to the dance floor, I immediately went into character and started dancing sexily. A hair toss here and there, rolling my hips, whining my waist. I felt hands on my hips and I twerked on Lewis's crotch that was spotting a hard on. I looked up and saw a seething Alpha and I smirked tauntingly, clearly enjoying this....

"Zoe, your father is looking for you," Tiffany's voice echoed through the mind-link. "He said you should go to his office."

"Oh shit! Did he see me?'' I asked alarmed pausing as Lewis turned me around questioningly with raised eyebrows. 

"No! I met him on my way to my room with my new catch, he said he didn't want to mind-link you incase he saw something he shouldn't," she said chuckling and I sighed in relief. 

Phew!!

"Goddess, what's the matter?" Lewis asked with concern and I gave him a fake smile. 

"I'm sorry... this.." I said pointing gesturing with a finger from him to me repeatedly. "Won't work. It's not you, it's me. I'm off." Still feeling the intense gaze on me, I pecked his cheeks for a lasting effect smiling inwardly and for sure when I turned around to leave.. Gold glowing eyes were  glaring at me murderously. 

'In your face.. Jerk!' I mouthed at him and left without caring that Lewis kept calling after me. 

....

"I'm guessing you didn't find your mate from the cold look on your face," my father said guessing the opposite of what had truly happened. I responded by humming and he sighed. 

"Don't fret.... you will find your mate at the right time," he comforted. "This is the friend I was talking about," he said gesturing to the man who was seated on a chair near the desk. There was a powerful aura coming from him but I could tell that he was a warm kind hearted man just like my father. 

"This is Alpha Sam Conner Carter of blackmist pack....." he continued to speak but I tuned him out and focused on the first sentence. I wasn't liking were this conversation was going...... No way... 

Confirming my suspicions, a strong wave of sparks and tingles rushed through me, his scent hitting me hard making me slighlty dazed. It was clearly stronger than what I had felt at the ballroom earlier. 

The door opened and James entered the room, his stormy grey eyes immediately locking with mine. He was an imposing figure, even in the cavernous room. 

Remembering the stunt I had just pulled, my heart pounded heavily in my chest as his eyes flashed with anger for a moment...... fuck..... I'm doomed.
