The Rejected Phoenix novel Chapter 2

Chapter two.

Subtitle: The Alpha's Weak Mate.

** still on general POV **

Melanie hurried through  the woods on her old bicycle.

She was late for the ceremony and she didn't care.

She just wanted to get a glimps of what the new king looks like,

Nothing much.

As she approached the huge crescent  garden which was filled to the brim with people.

The garden was decorected beautifully and people chatted,  walked around and talked.

Some had glasses of wine In their hands.

She hurried and hid the bicycle behind some thick bush.

She dusted her clothes as she walked out of the bush.

"her hoodie was pulled to cover her face in an attempt to avoid being seen.

He bred eyes glimmer in the dark as she stared and walked towards the left where some of the teenagers present where seated.

Most of them were her classmates in highschool.

She could remember  how they used to mock and bully her to the core.

Until she left school and dropped out of course.

She hid herself and avoided being noticed by them.

She could see her father, step mother and sisters seated elegantly at the front row of the VIP  seats.

Of course they were VIP.

And the look on their faces where priceless  and arrogant if you look closely.

The ceremony had already begun and the crowned alpha prince was asked to step out to the crescent ring as to the orders of the chief witch of the pack.

Melanie fought to stand on her toe amongst many people just to catch a glimpse of the prince.

He was way handsome and good looking than she had imagined he would be.

He hard a dark long hair that hung down to his shoulders, that was the first feature one will notice about him the moment he or she sees him.

And then his fiery yet fierce black eyes were also a vibrant facial feature that matches his cold  non-smiling face.

He had a very pointed thin nose and a very sharp and hazy jawline that struck his face.

He had the combination of a handsome  CEO and a dirty and dangerous mafia lord.

"aaaaaawwwwn..... He's  the cutest guy I've ever seen.. "

She heard a girl cooed from besides her and she shook her head.

"yeah..  And his height..  OMG,  are you sure he's not seven feets tall?  It looks like he can totally divide my height in two halves. "

Another girl replied as she stared at the alpha dreamily.

Melanie watched from the corner of her eyes.

"seriously. Yes he's cute. But you all gotta stop dreaming...  He's  gonna find his mate here as soon as he is fully made the king and you'll all have to watch him get all lovey dicey with her.  Respect yourselves."

A guy snapped besides the girls and the kept quiet amidst grumbling.

Melanie almost laughed out from the absurd look on their faces.

The pack witch brought out a bowl as Melanie could see.

She cute open the prince's palm and dipped it inside the bowl to make his blood mix with the whatsoever  was in the bowl.  Melanie had never attended functions like that so she had not idea what was going on.

The witch waited for the blue moon to come to full view before stepping back from the crescent ring.

There was a loud cracking sound of a bone snapping as the alpha let out a gruffy and painful yell.

It cracked again two more times before he started to transform.

Everyone was curious.

She watched as the he soon shifts into a huge and tall mid night black wolf right under the blue full moon.

Everyone chanted as his wolf made a loud cry.

"awoooooo! "

It went as loud as possible  and it echoed in the whole woods.

It was a beautiful  and lovely big wolf.

Everyone was memerised at the sight of his wolf.

He was the legendary black wolf everyone  has being waiting  for.

He was the alpha of all alphas.

"awoooooo!  Awooooooo! Awoooo! "

The pack was beginning  to yell after him even though they haven't shifted.

The crowd calmed down after some minutes of noise.

It was dominating.

It was soothing and savouring.

In a bit she forgot she was supposed  to hide away and not get caught.

She closed her eyes and drew in his comforting scent that seemed to have brought her a lot of ease  and a sense of belonging.

She kept her yes closed for a minute as she was too drowned to his scent.

She had completely loose track poof time as his scent was making her go made.

She wanted to touch him,feel him and be close to him.

She could hear people  murmuring slowly and she opened her eyes slowly.

What she saw shocked her to the bones.

The alpha king was walkong towards her in a cold and aloof way.

He took gentle and dominating  steps.

He was looking at her carefully as if checking for something or someone.

She was certain he was coming towards her.

She panicked and hide her face more in her hoodie.

Taking back slow steps.

He did not stop, instead he walked more towards her.

People around where starting to talk loudly of the possibility that she was his mate since all alpha kings where supposed to find their  mates the day they shift and are crowned king.

Not all but most of them find theirates on their crowning  ceremony.

She was terrified  and felt weak to the bones.

As she looked btowards where her father and sisters where and what she saw added to her fears.

Her father, step-mom  and sisters where on their feets and where looking bemused and terribly annoyed.

Her brother who was besides the new king as he walked towards her was in shock also.

Just what the f*ck is going on?

In a swift she turned around and did the one thing she could think of doing-run.

She took to her heels and ran as fast as they could carry her through the woods.

Not until she heard him say " grab her! "
