Chapter 30

Book:The Grateful Rejection Published:2024-6-2

“That’s why I proposed for a girl’s night out” she said leaving back and drowning my scotch. Ari furrowed her brows, “I’ll kill that bastard!” She snarled looking in the space.
“We are so sorry for not being there for you when you needed us the most” I said guiltily pulling my sister in a hug. She buried her face in my neck and stayed like that for a moment but pulled out soon.
“Now enough of this melodrama! Let’s hit the dance floor!!” She cheered out but there in no happiness in her voice, just void. She took another drink and stumbled out of the table from Ari’s side. As soon as she was out there was a cluster of men swarming around her. A provoking song came, she starts grinding on the men, one in front and the other behind her. They all were all over each other, groping and caressing each other.
“Let’s get the queen away from the bees before she does something she regrets” with that I jump on my feet and walk towards rora.
I make my way through the crowd who were either dry humping or groping each other.
“Arora! You have had enough. Now let’s go!” I say trying to pull her away. She jerked her hand and pouted, “Noraaa!!! Let me have some funnnnn” she said grinding her ass on someone’s crotch.
“Ever since that Sebastian came you’re no fun!” She tease as the men ran their hand up and down her body. I furrowed my brows, “I am fun! I have always been fu– that’s besides the point, you’re drunk Arora. Let’s go!” I tell her but she shushed me pulling me out of the floor.
“Nora just a few hours.. please. Let’s let’s free only for a couple of hours. That’s all I ask” she pleads giving me her puppy eyes. I was about to say no but her eyes glimmered with hope making me sigh, “Just two hours, rora” I say in defeat. She screeches and pulls me to the bar, “The strongest!” She yells over the music to the bartender who nods back with a smirk and pushes two big glasses of sliver coloured liquid. I looked at it skeptically but I hear a giggle from Arora, I look at her to see her taking out something from her bra and mixing some herbs in the liquid.
“I sneaked from Mom’s. It’s strong enough to make you drunk for two whole hours!” She giggles and pushes the drink in my hand. I shake my head, things I do for my sister, I say to myself and gulp down the drink at once. The liquid felt like I just swallowed lava, I cough a few times but within seconds it felt like cold air brewing in my throat. I shivered when I tasted something rubbery-bloody and somethings I couldn’t recognized. But it plumped my veins with a kind of adrenaline that’s made me feel live, “It’s like a mixture of crack and Coke for humans but just 10 times stronger” Arora giggle. Then pushed the other glass at me again, i gulped down the drink without thinking. And the mistake I made.
“Ass rules everything around me
Deep in that pussy, yeah, I’m drowning
A shark in a water, how you found me?
Best gift from ’round me (I’ma dog)
I go hunting like a bounty (woof)” I sing along with the song as Arora grinds on me. My head spins so fast that it’s actually making everything look and sound funny. I giggle feeling too light headed. My while body feels loose but even then there is energy to do something I’d regret in the morning.
I kept on singing the lyrics but suddenly I was pulled in a hard chest, it turn me around. Though my sight was a little hazy I could still make out the wolf with whom I took shots just hours ago. I furrowed my brows not liking the contact but before I could react he had smashed his lips on mine. I was frozen for a second and the next thing happened so fast that I was standing dumbfound and in front of me was Sebastian breaking that wolf’s arms then punching his face bloody.
“Sebastian” i whisper, “Sebastian, that’s enough let’s go” I say trying to pull him away from the half dead wolf.
“Sebastian!! Stop! Stopp!!” I say and use all my strength to pull him away from the bloodied body. He turns around only for my breath to hitch, he looked beyond murderous. My heart started to race as he slowly made his way towards me, he let out a warning growl when I instinctively took a step back. I jumped in fright and stood to my ground. His face and clothes had splashes of blood with a permanent snarl pasted on his face. In a blink of an eye I was pressed against his car in the parking lot with his caging me in his arms. I clutched the hem of his shirt, “You tell me the truth before I loose my shit!” He snarled at me. His face was buried in my neck as he was breathing heavily.
My heart picked up it’s pace in fear as I bit my lips, “NOW!” He yelled making me jump when he punched the car just a few inches away from my face.
“I-i don’t know him.. he came out of nowhere. I was dancing with Arora. I swear I didn’t cheat on you” I said as tears gathered in my eyes. I knew he has misjudged what he saw. If I were in his shoes, I would have thought the same, at least he gave me the chance to speak. I wouldn’t have done that.
He pushed himself away from me with a cold look on his face, “I was going nuts for you and you were here, kissing lousy wolf? Do you really take me as a fool? Huh? Just because you’re my Erastis doesn’t mean I’ll let you humiliate me like this! If it wasn’t for Ariana calling me, you would have gone home with that dog” he snarled looking at me in disgust. Tears fell free from my eyes, “I swear, Sebastian. I wasn’t doing anything. I was drunk” I cried trying to reason with him.
He shook his head and chuckled, “You really take me for a fool! You’re a fucking lycan!! Alcohol doesn’t effect us! And if you were drunk then why ain’t you now?” He snapped at me stepping away from me. I shook my head, I really didn’t wanna snitch in my sister but fuck it, “Arora mixed something in my drink, she said it’ll keep me tipsy for a few hours. And it was able to because I subsided my lycan but as soon as you came she did too” I told him trying to reach out for him but he brushed himself off me and gripped his hair.
“What if I didn’t talk to you for an entire day and my brother comes to you saying that I am in club and when you come to the club only to find me kissing another woman. What would you do?” He asked me. He looked at without any expression on his face, I shook my head, “I am sorry, Sebastian. Please!” I plead him.
“I asked you something!” He snaps at me making me jump.
I put my head down, “I would have left you” I whisper truthfully. My heart contracts with pain only at the thought of him leave me.
