**Pomona’s POV**
Who the heck does that jerk think he is anyway … calling me hard up. What … just because I don’t sleep around, and choose to keep my virginity until the time’s right; does that make me hard up?
And; what was that ‘cum at the drop of a hat’ remark all about? You really crossed the line there; you stupid jerk. … I mean, really; of course I would naturally cum because of you … you are my mate, after all. Aren’t mates supposed to sexually excite one another? … Then again; you’ve made yourself abundantly clear that you refuse to accept me as your mate. … Whatever.
It’s like they say; ‘you can’t force love’ … and, now I see that also goes for one’s own fated mate, as well. Oh well; no point in worrying about it anymore. … Besides, I’ve already been betrothed to the Stratus Pack’s Alpha; so, we wouldn’t be able to be together now, anyhow.
Okay; maybe I am feeling a little disappointed from the rejection … but, honestly; I’m actually feeling worse over the fact that I don’t have the salmon for Bellona’s birthday dinner. I’m regretting letting Daphne’s anger get the better of me; and, have me leave the fish behind with that jerk.
Speaking of Daphne, the poor girl; she was really hit hard by his rejection. I mean; it’s left her totally distraught. I can feel her overwhelming despair; as she sullenly sulks and whimpers. Right now; she’s a total wreck. … I don’t know; should I be feeling more upset over the rejection, like Daphne? I just can’t seem to bring myself to really care that much about it.
Maybe it’s because I’m too pissed off over all those demeaning remarks and insults that he spouted. Saying things like: I was ‘lacking in the looks department’; that my face wasn’t that attractive, and ‘nothing to write home about’; that I have barely any tits and no ass; and, the one that stuck with me the most … ‘someone as unattractively plain … lacking any type of desirous, sex appeal’. It’s almost as if he was implying that I’m so unappealing, that I’d never be able to attract anyone.
Well … I got news for you, Mr. Moneybags; maybe there aren’t any male-wolves in my pack that have given me any consideration for becoming their mate … even still; there was quite a few of them that were hoping to get into my pants. Not that I’d ever let them.
I was well aware that the only reason why they were so eager to do it with me was because they all knew about my infertility; so, I guess they figured that was a free pass to screw me without having to wear a condom, while not having to worry about accidentally getting me pregnant.
And of course, whenever these horn dogs would approach me with their chubbies already growing in their pants; Daphne emerged, and had me tell them…
“Leave me the fuck alone; and, go jack yourself off!”
And, thanks to Daphne’s outbursts; this honorary moniker was bestowed upon me … ‘The Ice Queen Bitch’. And so, whenever Daphne heard someone refer to me as that; she would always proudly extol…
“All hail the Queen!”
Hmm … now that I’m thinking about … there was actually this one guy from our pack, back in high school, who was genuinely nice to me; and, even showed a spark of interest in wanting a relationship with me. … And, to be totally honest; I guess you could say that I kind of had a crush on him, too.
His name was Adam Pearson; and, he was actually one of Bellona’s classmates … and later; even enrolled in our pack’s Defensive Security Detail’s training academy with Bellona.
While we were all together in high school, Bellona and Adam pretty much spent most of that time looking after me; trying to protect me the best they could from all the bullying aimed at me. And, when we weren’t in school; the three of us would hang out together.
And, when I started my Junior year; Bellona and Adam had entered the training academy. Bellona obviously made it a point to spend as much time as feasibly possible looking out for me, and hanging out together; but, even Adam made an attempt to see me, when possible … which made me feel kind of special.
After I graduated, to my surprise … and, most everybody else’s … Adam finally admitted that he was interested in me; and, wanted to officially date me.
But, about half a month later; Adam was suddenly transferred to the Security Detail of one of the pack’s that we have an alliance with up in Canada … and, I haven’t heard from him since. … However, for a short time after his transfer; there was a rumor circulating about it throughout the pack.
According to this rumor; Bellona supposedly had our father … who’s our pack’s Chief of Security … transfer Adam up to Canada, because she was jealous of us dating. The rumor said that Bellona had always been crushing on Adam, and wanted to date him; and, that she became heartbroken when he decided to go out with me.
So, out of scornful spite … according to this rumor … Bellona had our father send him away.
Mind you, this was a short-lived rumor; and, one in which no credible originating source could be found. … And, of course; I never believed in it for even a single, split-second. … I know Bellona the best; and, there’s no way she would ever do anything like that.
It’s true that Bellona and Adam were good friends; and, were really close. But, if Bellona really did have any romantic feelings for Adam; she would never get jealous, and do something underhanded like having him transferred to keep us apart. She would openly express her feelings, and talk it out; and, try to come up with a more direct solution that would be fair … that’s just the way she is.
Besides; everyone knows that Bellona is a lesbian … well, at least that’s what she claims. Although; I’ve never actually seen her be with another she-wolf … but, then again; I’ve never seen her with a male-wolf, either … so, I don’t know. Maybe she just wants our father to think that she’s a lesbian, so he won’t put her into an arranged marriage; like he has with me and Helena.
