The Rejected Mate novel Chapter 11

"No, I am the bestman" a new voice joins in on our conversation and my body stills hearing his voice, I close my eyes and turn towards the direction of the voice, all the while praying that it's not who I'm guessing it is be to, I open my eyes and my hazel brown eyes meet grey ones.

Great, I'm doomed.

I turn towards Courtney and flash her an 'I'm going to kill you' look.

I shoot daggers at Courtney with my eyes. 'We're talking about this later' I mind link her and she visibly gulps.

I turn towards Damien and look at him with a blank face, I haven't seen him after that day I found him practicing his extracurricular activities with that she-wolf, whom my Wolf's wants to track down and rip her head off.

He states at me with those steely grey eyes of his and I don't back down. The tension in the room increases as it's considered a disrespect to stare at an Alpha directly in the eyes. I could care less now, Alpha or not. I think to myself.

Our staring competition is interrupted by Darius, the Third in Command or The Delta as we like to call it. "Alpha, you have an important call from one of the Alpha's of the neighbouring pack" he speaks to Damien and Damien nods his head in reply while still staring at me.

He shoots a final look in my direction and leaves the room, followed by Darius who shoots a quick smile my way and smile back at him.

It feels like all the tension in the room had been gone with His presence and my body visibly relaxes as I sigh.

"What was that about?" Courtney snaps at me and I almost forgot about her presence. I narrow my eyes at her tone of voice and reply "what was what ?".

"You know what I'm talking about, are you out of your freaking mind staring at an Alpha directly in the eyes means you are asking for a death warrant" she practically sighs and I stay quiet not replies she seems to understand this and shakes her head side to side while muttering something along the lines of 'being a stubborn ass'.

I almost forgot the reason I was close to loose my head and my anger returns and I ask her " why didn't you tell me earlier that he's going to be the best man???" I snap at her and clench my jaw afterwards.

"Well I'm sorry okay, I was going to tell you. And it was Alex's idea to ask Damien to be his best man" she replies with a nervous look on her face awaiting for my reply. I sigh knowing that is not her fault that Alex doesn't know about Damien and I being mates, and how he rejected me.

"It's Okay, I understand" I reply and she smiles at me with gratefulness.

(Next Day)

I'm walking towards my room while holding Elijah with my right hand and his bottle containing the baby food with my left, I hear loud music playing from the direction of my room and I scrunch my face in confusion 'I didn't leave the speaker on then who did', I think to myself and decide to check it.

I peek through the half open door and I wasn't prepared for the sight that greeted me. To say I was surprised would be the understatement of the century. I look at the person in front of me as if he is a deranged animal, I look towards Elijah to find him looking at Matthew like he is an alien from another planet and I mentally agree with him 'me too buddy me too'.

Matthew is wearing a honey-blonde wig that belongs to Courtney that she had worn for one of the Halloween parties, the wig reaches his shoulder and dare I say he looks terrible in it, the speaker is playing the song 'Who Runs The World by Beyonce' while he twerks with his back to us. Wait, scratch that he's not twerking he's trying to twerk but failing miserably at it by simply moving his butt up and down in the air.

My eyes widen the size of golfballs with mouth wide open gaping at him like a fish out of water. I fear that I might catch some flies in my mouth or that my eyes may fall out of their sockets.
