THE HAPPINESS IN REJECTION

CHAPTER 2

(MAX P.O.V.)

"That's right, suck my c**k," I tell my next victim. She giggles and moans as she sucks me off. This one is an expert. Just then, there was a knock on my door, "Who is it?", I call out without even thinking.

"It's Erah," my thoughts are clouded when i hear that name. Just then i caught her scent from beyond the door. It was.... wonderful. She smelled like roses. I never thought the smell of roses could be this sweet. Her scent made my d**k harder, and I was sure the omega thought it was because of her mouth.

"Ugh! Go away bitch!" the Omega shouted.

"Shut the fuck up and just suck my d**k!" I told her and shove her head back down. Why couldn't they ever listen when I tell them to never speak. I compose myself and lay back letting the Omega do her thing. "Come in, Erah," after a moment, the door opened, and her scent hit me like a ton of bricks. Her face, when she saw what was happening, was one of disgust and irritation. "What do you want?" Trying not to be turned on by her presence.

"You know why I'm here," she said with no emotion. I smirk, so she feels that I am her mate as well. Mino was stirring in my mind, telling me to claim her and mark her, but i wasn't going to. I was going to go through with my plan, and I was going to reject Erah. As much as I wanted to do it first thing today at breakfast, i knew if I pushed it off, I would change my mind.

"You, whatever your name is, get the f**k out," I told the Omega. She lifted her head in shock.

"What?"

"You heard me, get out!"

"Ugh!" she grunted and go out slamming the door behind her. Erah looked at the door and then back at me. Damn, she was so fucking beautiful. No, I can't think like this. I need to reject her and fast.

"So, I guess you feel it too, huh? I asked her while standing up, fully nude and fully erected, referring to the mate bond. She didn't even flinched at the fact i was butt naked in front of her.

"Yes,"

"Well, I hate to burst your bubble, but if you came here thinking i was going to accept you as my mate, you're dead wrong," she just looked at me with gorgeous green eyes. But something was off, there was no hurt in her eyes. There were no feelings, at all. This shouldn't be bothering me, but it does. I shook the thought away.

"I, Maxandreo Smitherson, future Alpha of the Blue Moon pack, hereby reject you, Hera Gail as my mate," I say trying to hide the remorse in my voice. She looked at me and smirked. Why is she smirking?

"Thank you," she replied.

"What!?"

"Thank you," she repeated. " You have no idea how happy I am that you are rejecting me right now. You're saving me the misery of being tied to you at the hip because of the stupid mate bond, and the agony of having to be the Luna of this pack of misfits, mutts, disgusting and murderers," she said with venom in her voice. Why were her words hurting me?

"Erah, what are you..."

"I, Hera Gail Boudreaux, the only child of the late Alpha Damianus Gail Boudreaux of the Silver Moon Pack of the North, hereby accept your rejection," her acceptance hit me like a freight train. The pain of our bond-breaking knock the wind out of me, and i fell back onto the bed. But she wasn't hurting, she was fine. She was the daughter of an Alpha, she's an Alpha by blood.

I felt tears in my eyes, my heart was breaking, and hers wasn't. Why was I the one who was hurting? Mino was howling in sorrow in my head. My wolf, my Alpha wolf was whimpering like a puppy at the loss of his mate. Erah shook her head and left my room. She was gone. That was it, my mate was gone. I wanted to hurt her, and break her, but she broke me instead.

"I told you not to reject her!" Mino ferociously growled. You never said she was an Alpha!

"That shouldn't matter! Her blood and her rank shouldn't matter! We were her mate! We were supposed to love her, cherish her, and protect her!"

Before i could say anything to him, he cut me off. He put up his own block. I didn't even know our wolf counterpart could do that. I tried to reach him but I couldn't. My own wolf was giving me the silent treatment.

(ERAH'S P.O.V)

After accepting his rejection, i felt liberated. i made my way back to the kitchen and got busy making breakfast. I was running about ten minutes behind, but that wasn't a big deal. As i was making breakfast, i could feel Thalia whimpering at the back of my mind.

"Thalia, I'm sorry".

"It's not your fault, he rejected us first."

"But I accepted his rejection without a fight, and I know that it cause you pain".

"Not as much as you think though. Honestly, it hurts, but something tells me that it was meant to be".

"Why would the moon goddess pair me with an asshole like him?"

"I don't know, but the mother has her ways and her reasons. Lets just see where this gonna lead us."

"You do know that after this weekend, we are on our own, right?, I can't, No, I won't live here anymore."

"I know. I will support you."

I smiled again at her response. Thalia was super chill, and laid back, like me. After I made breakfast and set it out on the island buffet style with eggs, ham, sausages, toasted bread, pancakes and hash browns, I went to my room to work on the invitations for Max's Alpha ceremony this coming Saturday. Luckily, the invitations was already made. I just had to write out of the names of the packs being invited and send them out by a werewolf inter-postal mail.

When I finished with those, I went back to the kitchen, and so as I did, everyone turned around and stared at me. I saw Max and his eyes were filled with hurt. Good, I thought to myself. He thought that I would be hurt by his rejection, but it ended up backfiring, and I was more than certain that my declaration as an Alpha's only daughter was the biggest fucking bitch slap to his face.

"Erah," Alpha Maximiano called out. I let out a big sigh and walked over him.

"Yes?" I politely asked.

"Did you send out the invitations?" he said.

"I just finished, they should be received by all the packs within the next 24 hours," I replied as genuinely as I could.

"Good, since it's your birthday, and you haven't mess up anything yet, feel free to have one serving size to everything."

"Thank you," I replied sincerely. At least i wasn't going to be starved on my birthday. I went to the island and grab my plate. It was a small child's plate, but it worked. I took one scoop of eggs, one sausage patty, one slice of ham, and one scoop of hash brown and one bottled water. I went back to my room and ate my breakfast in peace. I already knew that this would be my only meal for today, so I figured I will try and savor it the best I could.

I took a small bite of everything and chewed at least fifteen or twenty times per bite to try and make it last. This somehow made it seem like I had more than I actually did. As I was eating, I couldn't help the tears that formed in my eyes. Here I was, eight hours into my 18th birthday, and I was already rejected by my mate. The thought of having a mate to love, to cherish, and to protect me was out of the window now. I had no choice but to accept my fate, that after that Saturday night, I would be officially a rouge.
