Lauren’s POV
We both stood stiff in the middle of the bar, it seemed like everything else had stopped for the moment. He was the one I had rejected, James. But he did not seen to be so sad at the rejection, it seemed more like he was anticipating what I had told him abd he was glad about it but today, I could see immense sadness and I had the same in my eyes. For some reason, I felt drawn to him somehow.
I took off the eye contact and looked away from him back to my drink. I stared at it before carrying the cup, raising it to my lips and gulping down the entire content of the cup.
“You should do what you were supposed to do right from the start now.” My wolf side said to me but I shook my head, remaining as adamant as I had always been.
It would always be Kayden for me and no one else, I had to think of something else other than my mate who I could scent was coming closer and closer to me and with each approaching steps, I could feel my wolf side’s excitement.
“Hello, give me a glass of your strongest.” he said to the bar tender taking the seat beside me.
“What are you doing here? I clearly told you to stay away from me.” I said, not looking at his face.
“I was hoping that I would never see you also.” he replied me and I scoffed.
One thing was almost sure for me, he was definitely stalking me and could not help but wonder at the treasure he had lost over the time and decided to finally come over to me.
Too bad that I had never had a need for him and that need for him is never going to arise, the only one I need is Kayden and he is the only one that I am going to get.
“I know you want me but I am sorry to still tell you that I do not love you, my answer remains the….”
“I already told you I do not want you too.” he groaned cutting me off.
That could not be possible, I was sure attractive to him.
“I even wish I am not a wolf so that I would never have to meet you.” he said sipping his drink and I scoffed.
“I do not want you also, so just stay away from me and stop stalking me.” I said to him and he chuckled sadistically.
“Stalking you? I would rather sleep all day, have no job at all than stalk you, I understand you, you are just someone who totally failed in love and so you are trying to find hope for yourself that someone might love you in this world.” he said to me and I was really enraged by his words.
“Me? What the heck are you talking about? How am I failed in love? You are the one absolutely pained that I don’t love you and I have rejected you.” I said to him in my rage.
“If there is anything in the world that I am grateful for, it is the fact that you rejected me abd as for your failure in love, there is absolutely no one who does not know that you want Alpha Kayden so much for yourself but someone else got him.” he replied and I was so hit by his words.
“What do you mean?!” My rage grew, my eyes going fiery.
“I mean that you are the actual pitiful one here so just let me have my drink in peace.” he replied me and focused on his drink once more.
I groaned inwardly, slammed my hand against the table hard and gulped down the whole glass of my drink and immediately requested for another glass.
“What? You have another rejection from Alpha Kayden?” His annoying voice came to me again and my eyes widened.
I turned to him and glared at him for a moment before looking away.
“Yeah and that is normal and you? You are still pained by my rejection or you got rejected by someone?” I asked him.
“Well, yeah! I kind of got rejected but I would get her back, why? Because unlike your situation, she loves me and I do love her, much more than you can ever think of and very soon we would get back together.” he replied me and I let out a long and shrill laughter.
“You would have to wait for years just like I am waiting also because I thought the same the first time Kayden rejected me.” I said to him.
“Alpha Kayden never loved you, it had always been only you in this one sided love.” he replied me and even though I knew that was the truth, I just wasn’t going to admit defeat.
“Whoever you love is never going to love you, the both of us are cursed.” I said and he broke the glass in his hands in rage.
“She loves me already! And we are going to get together!” He yelled at me and I only chuckled.
“Wishing you good luck with that.” I mumbled and focused on drinking once more.
He settled down into his seat once more and continued with his drinking, with every moment I got more and more drunk and I could feel my senses gradually bading my goodbye but I just would not stop drinking because it was giving me the best feeling, I felt good with hardly any thoughts in my head.
I shook my head and turned to look at James, his face suddenly looked so handsome and cute and I badly wanted to kiss him and make out with him right in the middle of the bar.
I shook my head, trying to keep a leash on my thoughts. I diverted my gaze to my drink and gulped down the entire glass that was in front of me.
And that was it! I finally lost my senses totally. I drunkenly got up from my seat and approached James who was sitting only a few meters away from me.
I drunkenly pulled him up from his seat and he stared deeply into my eyes..
“Ca…. Cassie?” He called but I did not even pay any attention to what name he was calling me.
I stood on my toes and dragged him to my height, fusing our lips together and kissing him hard.
I could feel my whole body arouse, I badly wanted to have him, I wanted to have him tonight.
I kissed him as I led him out of the bar to a more private space while we went on with the kissing.
