The Rejected Mate novel Chapter 15

  D A M I E N's POV

 ××××××××××××

Its been two hours since Serenity took off, and I been looking around the reception area but I couldn't find her anywhere. My wolf has been nagging me as if trying to tell me something but I couldn't point out what.

I spot Matthew talking with the former betas mate, also Serenity's Mother. I walk towards their direction and greet Lisa, Serenity's Mother with a nod of my head"Mrs. Martins" .

"Alpha" she greets and bows her head in respect.

I look towards Matthew and ask "Can I talk to him personally, if you don't mind" my words pointed towards Lisa. She nods her head and leaves in search of her mate.

"Matthew" I address him.

Even though he is Serenity's boyfriend, I don't necessarily hate him. I believe he is far more better than me, and if the way I've seen them interacting with each other is an insight into their relationship, I wouldn't try to wreck havoc in their relationship, atleast for now.

He atleast keeps her happy, which I couldn't do right even the first time I met her, instead I just rejected her like the heartless monster I am.

"Where is Serenity? Have you seen her?, She just took off earlier and I haven't seen her since" I ask him. Creases appears on his face with worry "No, Last time I saw her,she was with you" he replies back and this makes me an my wolf go crazy.

"What do you mean?-- wait leave it, I'll look for her myself" I tell him and hightail it out of there, I exit the venue and head towards the forest, I can feel him following me and I don't object. We walk for a few minutes and nothing feels out of ordinary. My feet makes a srcunching noise when I step on something, I bend down and see a piece of paper.

I pick it up and read.

" I've got her, Alpha "

- Roman Ivanovic

My eyes flash gold seeing the familiar name and all those haunting memories flash before my eyes,the gold in my eyes indicating that my wolf is in control. I low rumble leaves my chest and my claws comes out. I scrunch the paper with my claws in rage.

"What is that?" Matthew stands before me with a confused look on his face, when I don't reply back he takes upon himself to pick up the scrunched paper on the ground. His face changes colour when he read it and I can practically feel anger radiating off of him.

"Did you know about this?" I ask him with rage.

He looks nervous for some reason but still angry.

"Yes" he replies back and I lose it

It happens so fast, that he had no time to react. I pick him up by his collar and smash his back into the nearest tree, it breaks due to the force of the impact.

"Tell me what you know" it's the beast speaking now, it comes out way deeper than my voice, a voice of an animal more than a man.

Matthew cuffs and takes huge gulps of breath in, he manages pries my hand off his collars and speaks.

"We came out for a run yesterday, and Serenity smelled a rogue out in the woods and she came across an envelope stuck to a tree" he says and talks out a paper from the front pockets of his pants.
