Vivienne point of view
Pains.
My whole body ached. Most of the pains were coming from my inner regions. I raised the blanket to look down. I was stark naked. I froze for a moment. Then my brain clicked and I remembered what happened the night before.
I had taken advantage of a man!
Unheard of. It was mostly the men taking advantage of the women but here I am, breaking the record.
I turned to the other side of the bed to observe the man.
Suddenly,I felt a word speaking in me.
'Mate, Mate
My eyes widened. I turned eighteen a couple of days back and was awaiting the manifestation of my wolf.
I never knew that she would come out in such a time like this and what did she whispered again,Mate?
The werewolf I slept with was my mate?
Shock spread through out my body.
What were the chances that the man you had a one night stand with was your man?
My wolf was threatening to place a mark in him. I held her down.
I felt the werewolf beside me stirring up. His eyes shut open and took in my appearance.
I was still naked. I dunked my head underneath the blanket.
I was sure that he felt the mate bond.
I raised my head up to see him, looking at me with something that looked like disgust but it left as quickly as it came,I was not sure if I saw correctly.
I waited for him to pull me up and mark me as his mate,when I heard his words,
"I, Alpha Liam reject you as my mate."
Alpha Liam?
The Alpha of the Pristine pack, one of the strongest pack.
No wonder,he was at our graduation being the owner of Trist University,he had every right to be there.
I came back to my senses.
He want to reject the bond. I was too stunned to speak. It did not work. I searched his face,eagerly trying to see if he at least regret it. His face scrunched into a frown and his lips pulled together.
"What is your name?" He asked me.
"Vivienne". I replied with expectation, thinking that maybe he regret his actions and wanted to apologize to me.My wolf was too swooned in his presence and was cooing.
"I, Alpha Liam reject Vivienne as my mate," he said,his words cutting me deeply.
What?
He did not want me to be his mate? That was why he asked for my name because you can not reject your fated mate without knowing their name.
I was overwhelmed with thoughts until the pains from the rejection coarsed through my body. I gasped, clutching to the blanket as tightly as I could. My chest heaved up and down.
He went to the restroom immediately. Deciding to reject the bond will cause pains to both parties.
I could feel tears building up in my eyes and eventually rolling down. He was cruel.
I tried to hold myself to avoid bawling in tears in front of him.
He came out from the restroom, fully dressed.
I asked the most important question in my head,"Why?"
He raised his head to look at me but did not respond. He left the room. No care for me. The wish of every werewolf was to find their mate and be accepted by them. Even I had that wish,not until he, Alpha Liam rejected me.
I wept loudly.
*********
Next day, I walked into the pharmacy in our school to collect drugs. I couldn't afford to find myself pregnant for Alpha Liam. The drugs in the pharmacy was free. Evidence of a good university. I bought a bottle of water and took the drug there. I thanked the woman and left.
I haven't healed yet from the pains of the rejection,but I decided to ignore it.
I had a class that morning,it was for the werewolves that have awakened their wolves. I entered the class and sat down in a chair close to a werewolf.
Soon,our teacher came in, teaching us how to control our wolf and ensure it does not hold us down.
I was inattentive in the class, thinking about the things that had happened yesterday.
Alpha Liam did not even find me worthy of having a conversation with. I shook my head, a sharp laugh escaping my lips,bitter and broken. My chest ached as if the laughter further deepened the wound.
The class ended and one of my study partners, a she wolf came to me.
"Hi, Vivienne. I noticed you were not listening in the class. Please, it is important that you listen so that you will understand what the teacher was saying", she said and left immediately.
She was not even concerned about me,just interested in my studies, though that is what we are - study partners.
I thought about Patricia. She must have gone home to her family after the celebration.
I brought out my phone and saw messages from her. It was from concern to worry and then to anger. I dialled her line. It rang and rang to no avail.
Patricia was busy, I thought.
I went back to my hostel, on reaching,I heard voices speaking.
I wanted to push the door open until I heard my name.
"Vivienne thinks she is the best in this school. Always pretending to care for others,I hate those pretenders", someone spat. The voice belongs to Melissa, one of my roommates.
"True,she is just a bitch". Another chimed in.
I pushed the door open and entered. The voices died down. I took in the faces of three she wolves. They bent their heads in shame.
I did not say anything or do anything to them. I dropped my bag and calmly climbed my bunk and laid down to sleep.
"Vivienne,we are sorry for speaking behind your back", one of them said.
Signs of someone guilty, didn't need to say anything before they spoke up.
The other one that cursed me loudly, Melissa stood up and left the room, wordlessly, refusing to apologize or say anything to me. The rest followed her, leaving me in the room.
I was not interested in their apology. I was still in pains.
When I see Alpha Liam,I will ask him why he rejected me without any worries, I thought to myself.
