The encounter
Alpha Rudolfo Pov:
I step out of my car as one of my guards slide the door open, I crossed my two hands behind my back as my kingly attire swept the floor, I’m not a fan of it, but I can’t escape it being an Alpha demands of that especially when you’re outside with your caliber, and as the most respected Lycan King I love to portray authority.
The servant both male and female all lined up in a straight line immediately when they heard of my arrival. I smirked as I walked in their middle seeing the fear in their eyes, that’s what I want. I might not be a wicked Alpha but I like it when I’m being feared and respected. I walk past them not bothering to reply to any of their greetings, I can see some females looking at me in a flirty manner but I don’t blink I might squeeze them to death out of anger. That’s how much I despise females and after my fated mate rejected me I started loathing that gender.
I can’t forget that day, it’s still fresh in my memory, walking towards my private elevator which leads to my chamber on the last floor. I start to reminisce on my past. It’s a past which I locked out from the world and myself, a past which I don’t wish to remember, the very day my mate left me for another.
Back then I was young and catching fun, I was still an Alpha prince of nineteen years old, that fateful day I was patrolling the garden at the packhouse when that intoxicating sweet scent caught my nostril, I inhaled deeply as I trial the scent my heart was doing a dance of joy as I could feel my wolf doing a dance of joy to wagging its tail. I trail the scent and suddenly I found myself in the market, still trailing that scent none stop I was surprised when I saw a young girl, I covered my face so people won’t recognize me, she saw me and looked away but from the stare, she gave me I knew instantly that she’s aware I’m her mate.
I waited for her to finish with what she was buying, and when I was sure she was true I started following her again, I stop her when I was sure we are far from people
“Mate” I called in joy, I rush towards her and hugged her with my heart doing a marathon out of joy but I was surprised when she pushed me off, I sighed and walk towards her I took hold of her hand and stare into her eyes
“I’m your mate,” I said to her calmly.
“She is not your mate,” A male voice said, I turned and was surprised when I saw it was my best friend from another pack,
“Baby” She called and ran to him, I feel my heart shatter into a million pieces
“Fred…?” I called
“Don’t call me… I don’t know you” That was his response, I was shocked, at that moment I felt used and betrayed.
“Can I ask you something?” I said to her
“What..!?” She hushed me
“When did you find out I’m your mate?” I ask praying for my perception to be wrong. I don’t want to believe that free knew she was my mate yet! He’s dating her, I took him as a friend and a brother. He’s an Alpha prince like me from another park.
“Well since you want to know I already knew a long time ago and same with Fred, reasons why I kept my distance” She shrugged her shoulders like it’s nothing.
“Well I don’t care what I know is that you’re my mate,” I said to her not giving up I mean I know she’s dating someone but I love her she’s my mate
“You lie…. I Mara Claire rejects you Alpha prince Rudolfo Williams as my mate, I don’t love you and can never be your mate” She said and so it at my face before walking out with my best friend who was smirking the whole time, I held onto my heart which is about to break into a million pieces, I feel pain the pain of rejection the pain of having to know that your one time mate rejected you the pain of being mateless with no companion for the rest of your life. I fell on my knees as I cried out and wailed in agony. That pain was the kind of pain I never wish to feel ever again. That moment I feel my whole veins pop out, I stretch apart my hands and grit my teeth in sheer agony.
The clouds thundered, lightning struck as the weather changed to total darkness. Just like the moon goddess was there with me, a mighty rainfall started to fall, but I didn’t bother to stand up. That moment I swore never to have anything to do with a woman, I decide to turn cold, never to trust any soul, all of them are betrayals. The heavens pitied me and the rain washed away my tears thank the moon goddess I never get to see my pain all the rain that fell that day was all on me and I never for once regretted them because they were the only consolation I had that day and till now I’m twenty-eight years old. So many years have passed I have grown stronger, braver, and wealthier without a mate and I’m doing good.
I sighed coming out of my own little world as the elevator opened and I stepped out with my betta right behind me
“You may go back Rico”
“But Alpha” He wanted to argue when I raised my hand at him signaling him to live,
“Yes Alpha ” He bowled and left. Rico has been my betta since I have known. We were once friends but after being fooled I detached myself from everybody. I might feel lonely sometimes but I’m used to them. Rico is a nice person, one of the people that can be trusted for those that do trust but not for me.
As I walked into the hallway that led to my chamber, a sweet strawberry scent engulfed me. I stopped on my track and inhaled the scent but it got stronger. I balled my first behind me and the bones on my jawline tightened, “Is fate playing a prank on me Never!” I growl, I hasten my step and with each step, I take my heart to palpitate and beats louder, I wanted to open my door but found out it’s wide open, it couldn’t be the maid, they are only allowed to come here on my own instruction except for my aunt.
I took a deep breath and walk in and immediately I stepped in the strawberry scent hit my nose as I saw a female figure lay on my bed, the hatred that was buried deep inside of me suddenly surfaces, “Mate” My wolf Liam called in my head in joy, “mate, mate” it kept on rejoicing wagging its tail
“Idiot” I growl blocking the link. I thought of what to do with this female and when nothing crossed my mind, I started tapping her to wake up, damn! She’s clumsy.
“Who could she be?” I ask, I haven’t seen her around here, and her scent I sighed, I hooked her one more time and she sprang up.
I gulped down on seeing the beauty that beholds me, her curves, her cute lips…. but no! They are all the same betrayers.
“Ahhhh…..” She screamed and climbed down the bed in a rush, and the next she pushed me off the way and rushed off.
