The Rejected Mate novel Chapter 14

Matthew, what happen-, why are you-?" I'm immediately cut off when his wolf growls and grits out "He killed my mate" and this time it's me who is shocked with this new piece of information.

"And what the hell do you mean by he's your father, I thought your and Alex had the same parents" he asks, I sigh and reply in a tone which says that I'm not ready to talk about it now "No, I'm adopted"

now it's my time to be confused.

"Wait, wasn't your mate and pack killed by rogues?" I ask him confused because as far as I know, his pack was attacked by a group of rogues, maybe even a pack of them.

"Yeah, but they were led by your father"he grits out and I sigh. I really don't know my father like I think I do.

"Hurry up, we've to inform Damien and the others" Matthew exclaims after a few moments of silence and I panick.

"No, I-I mean not today-" I see the look on his face which clearly shows that he disapproves my idea but I continue speaking "look it's only for a day or two,it's Alex and Courtney's wedding tomorrow and I don't want to ruin it for them".

"Think about the number of people's lives that's on the line, Serenity. People will most probably lose their lives of we don't do anything" Matthew replies with a worried look on his face.

I move towards him and place my hands over his shoulders effectively calming him down "We'll inform Damien the first thing after the wedding, is that okay?" I ask him and he nods reluctantly after a few moments.

At the wedding...

"I think I'm second guessing this, Ohmygod Ohmygod. I think I'm going to be the next runaway bride." Courtney says

I've been watching her pace back and forth for the last five minutes and mumbling about how she's going to runaway from her own wedding. Oh hell no.

She's wearing a white gown which flairs out in a perfect manner which makes her waist look smaller than usuall, her hair is in loose curls. To say that she looks beautiful would be an understatement.

"Court, you know that I love you right? But of you leave my brother alone on the altar, I'll make sure that I find you and kill you myself" I tell her in a semi-playful way.

Courtney sighs "I'm nervous".

"Hey, look everything is going to be alright, you don't have to worry and plus my brother loves you to death" I try to comfort her and she relaxes visibly as if me telling her my brother loved her was what she wanted to hear all along.

I feel arms wrapping around my waist and hear a voice say "Hey there Beautiful" and I blush. I turn around to find Matthew looking like the handsome guy he is in his white tuxedo.

I'm currently wearing the dress which Courtney picked out for me. It was a beautiful white lace dress with intricate designs and rhinestones attatched to it with ruffles around the waist and the middle of the dress in a straight line. The dress complimented my figure greatly and I'm thankful that Courtney picked this dress. My hair is in a messy updo while my eyes have a light smokey effect on them finished of with a nude lip.

"You don't look bad yourself" I tell him.

"Well why, thankyou milady. I'm honoured." He replies while bowing like a old fashioned gentlemanly manner and I laugh.

The joyful moment is cut short when my eyes find a certain grey eyed Alpha. He looks drop dead gorgeous in his black tuxedo, it enhances his model like body and the tux is fit snugly around his biceps, tightening whenever he flexes his arms to do anything.

But what caught my attention was the baby in his arms, who is wearing the same as his father, excluding the jacket. My heart melts seeing Elijah, he looked so cute in his little black vest and bow.

My eyes meet Damien's from across the room and I look away from his intense stare.

Thousand years by Christina Perry comes on and I see The Former Beta walking Courtney down the aisle towards her future husband. I smile while seeing them say their I do's and kiss each other all the while Matthew is by my side with an arm around my waist. I feel a stare piercing into me the whole time, and I know who it is, but I don't dare meet his eyes.

"Serenity, would you like to dance?" My head snaps towards Matthew, he knows I don't dance but I couldn't say no to those big puppy dog eyes, oh he knows what he's doing, okay.
