▪️GRAYSON▪️

It's been two days. Two days since Nadia got rejected. She hasn't stopped talking about how he didnt deserve her.

I may despise her and her fakeness but she's still my friend. I've known her since we were little.

I've bumped into my mate plenty. I can tell I have a effect on her even if she isnt clear about me being her mate.

I hate that boyfriend of hers. Always by her side I want to rip his head off. So does my wolf, Grady.

I'm in a meeting with my parents. My dad the Beta and my mom the Beta's mate.

I'm a only child so no siblings. My mom had a very hard time conceiving so if I was a girl then my dad would've be replaced as Beta. We were lucky I was a boy.

Were talking about how I'm gonna handle it when Emma shifts and realizes I'm her mate. I'm not allowed to tell her till her 17th birthday.

I'm lucky when it was confirmed she was my mate that she was turning in a week.

Aiden on the other hand has found his mate but hasn't told anyone. He found his mate 4 months ago. He dosent want a mate. His mate goes to a different school then we do and is turning in a month.

He may think he's going to reject her but I've seen the way his eyes softened when shes around or tense when she laughs. He's so in love with her whether he wants to be or not.

He has even made comments that I should reject Emma because she was ugly. No one knows why shes ugly.

Apparently when she was little she used to have special looks that made her beautiful. One day she just turned ugly.

Weird if you ask me.

But I knew she was my mate when I saw her that morning. I didnt think about her being ugly in my eyes she was beautiful.

She is beautiful. Her black hair and her grey eyes. I love when she's around me.

But my parents have even said that it could of at least been a pretty girl. Man did I yell at them when they mumbled that comment.

Even the Alpha has said that I could always reject her and get a prettier mate from the moon goddess. Since I was still young and all. I dont understand what's wrong with not being the hottest girl in the planet.

I get she's like the only ugly wolf ever but her makeup does her wonders. It makes her look even more attractive.

"Son we have come to a agreement," I look at my father while he is talking so he carries on "When Emma shifts and finds out your her mate... you will reject her" Wait. Pause. Did I hear him right.

"What?!" I had raised my voice. He was not telling me this. Grady was boiling inside. "That's not your choice to make!" I was so angry.

He wasn't serious right this was a joke right. I looked at Aiden to back me up. He just stood there. He actually just stood there! I cant believe he's okay with this! My wolf was howling already in pain and I hadn't even done it yet.

"Son the moon goddess will give you a prettier and more worthy mate and you will be thankful this happened" my mother tried to reason with me. My very own mother!

"No I wont! I wont do it!" I was not going to let them walk all over me like this.

"Yes you will son! If you dont then you will not take on the position of Beta and you and Emma will be banned from the pack!" My father just said that. My father! I could live without being Beta but kicking me out of my home. I couldn't let them kick Emma out. Take her away from her family.

I desperately looked at Aiden for any sort of support he just looked down. He fucking looked down!

"Fine! But why dont you ask Aiden about his mate he found 4 fucking months ago!" That was the last thing I said before I stormed out of the room. I had to before my wolf Grady took over and I killed my father.

I cant believe they would do this to me. I cant believe Aiden would be such a coward.

Needing to blow off some steam. I went to the forest outside our pack house and took my clothes off.

Then I shifted. My Auburn coat with my brown eyes were incredible. Everytime I see it I'm amazed. I started to imagine Emma as a wolf that only pissed me off more. I ran into the forest hopping to forget about everything.

As I ran with the wind all in my coat the forest looking so beautiful. Maybe I could run away with Emma. We could live happily in the woods.

But I couldn't take her away from her family her friends. One of them was still getting through a rejection did the other need one to. I cant believe I had to do this. I howled in pain.
