Reject Me Again, My Alpha
Chapter 32

“Well, it is being said she was in the village looking really cozy with a really sexy , tall man. So , just how confident are you that she is on the same page as you ? ” Tiffany taunted, following after me. She wasn’t the first person I had heard say this about Anthea. Gritting my teeth, I kept walking. ” Haven’t I told you to leave me the f**k alone already ?” I growled out. ” How can she not want you ? You or her don’t bare a mark yet and she’s flouncing around with another man, how is that going to look when you two come out as mates if you do ? Won’t it be the same as what you said you and I would look like ? That you are not fated. She’s been shifted months now and you haven’t claimed each other ” I felt myself getting more and more pissed off.

Hadn’t I asked her of this , to make a choice ? For her to do that, then she needed to get to know him to make that decision. ” f**k off Tiffany “, I snapped. She runs in front of me and blocks my path. I sneered menacingly at her. But she just holds her hands up. ” I’ll change , I promise I will. I’ll go suck up to your mum. I’ll be whoever you want me to be. ” Rolling my eyes , my sneer turns into a smirk. ” I was wrong , I thought you being a conniving b***h was a ugly look on you , but desperate tops that. So , listen to me carefully here Tiffany. I do not want you , I will not ever want you. Me sleeping with you was the worst decision I ever made. And I would feel shitty about being so harsh towards you , but out of everyone I know with a rotting centre , yours is by far the worst I have ever seen. I have grown up seeing all your manipulative , spiteful and vile behavior. Go replace your own mate , because I think you only stand a chance with that person and that is because they are programmed to love you. “

Her whole face changes and just proves my point. I was already in a shitty mood , hearing people talking’ of Anthea and Rions’ encounter in the village. From what I had heard, it looked intimate. Then they had apparently walked all over the packland. Last seen going off up into the mountains near the mating point. I was already doing everything I could to not shift and run up there. Her face twists into a sour expression. ” You can’t treat me this way , you can’t say those things to me. I’m not just a regular shewolf, you can toss away Enzo. I’m like a part of the pack royalty. I deserve respect . I deserve f*****g respect ” she screeches in the last part. She storms past me , barging her shoulder into mine and I ball my fists to stop me from ripping her head off.

Blowing out a deep breath , I kept walking and headed to the house we were all staying at. Half way up, I started to run , needing to get there quicker. Barging into the house , I smelt food cooking. Rushing through the house, I went to the kitchen where I could hear her talking. I found them both in the kitchen , cooking together. They were stood side by side both chopping vegetables. Rion was already looking up when I walked in. I saw a quick hint of annoyance flash across his face, most likely at the intrusion.

When ANthea looked up at me from her task, the smile she gave me made would normally have made me smile back. But , today it didn’t. ” Did you have a nice day ?” I asked her like a d**k. She flinched , her brows drawing together. ” Heard you took a walk to where the mating spots are. ” Her forehead creased with even more confusion. ” Mating spots ? “she said.

A hand came up and I rubbed my chin. ” Yea , up the mountains. It’s where all new mating couples go to complete the mating bond. Nice romantic views , quiet ” my eyes glanced at Rion to see him trying to hide a smirk. Anthea looked at him, then back at me her eyes widened. ” Wait what ? That is where the mating spots are ? Wait, you think me and him ” she pointed between them both and her mouth dropped. My teeth grit together.

We stared at each other , not one of us breaking eye contact. I feel her hurt through our link and then she sighs and shakes her head. Picks the knife back up and starts chopping vegetables. ” Not everyone is a w***e like you Enzo ” she said down at the chopping board. But I felt another wave of something ‘gulit’. What did she feel guilt for ? ” Why are you feeling guilty ?” she glanced up at me from under her lashes. ” Why not just drop it , we didn’t sleep together if that is what you are asking her ” Rion piped up.

I was about to tell him to keep his f*****g nose out. But then he threw a bomb into the room. ” Anthea has decided though that she wants to get her magic back. “

” Really ? ” I asked her, not him. Thing is, he did seem like a nice guy , which only pissed me off more. I wasn’t exactly the nicest of guys. She shrugs ” Yea , I wanted to talk to you about it. And your dad. I mean I can’t just go walking in there and ask for them back. I’m clueless as to what to do. Rion said he would help. I was hoping you would too. ” Rushing to her side , I looked down at her. She pauses in her chopping and looks up at me ” Like you even have to ask Anthea, if this is what you want. Then I am there . I wouldn’t let you out of here without me by your side to protect you ” she smiles up at me and this time I feel myself smiling back.

I felt like I had a split personality these days when it came to her. Leaning down, I kissed her on her forehead and then, I couldn’t help it I bent down and sniffed her hair, her scent filling my nose. Groaning, I stepped back and walked back around the kitchen island and sat down on the barstool at the other side of the work surface they were working on. I sat and just looked at them both. Anthea was trying to hold back a laugh and Rion had that look of annoyance again. ” So what are you both cooking ? I’m starving ” I stated .This time Anthea looses her battle and lets out a small laugh.

” Where making salad and potatoes. Your mum and dad have a grill outside, so we thought of grilling some meat for dinner a little bbq “, Anthea said. She looked at the time. ” I texted everyone to be here in half an hour. Check your phone. You’ll see “. Pulling out my phone, she was right. There was a text saying she needed to chat with everyone , could I make sure I was there “We invited your mum and dad too. Tell everyone at once what I’ve decided, ” she added. ” Good idea “. It was awkward for the next half hour. None of us really talking. But soon enough, people started showing up.

When Violet got there , she and Rion disappeared outside. “How are you and your new mate and you getting along ? ” I asked Devon. The grin he gave me had me changing my mind. He started rattling on about where they had been f*****g , so I picked up one of the salad bowls and walked off from him. Of course, the prick followed me and kept talking. Much to my annoyance. Pushing the door open, I walked out and saw Rion and Violet talking in hushed tones. Violet looked angry, her hands flaying about. But as soon as they heard us, they both shut up.

Violet plastered a smile on her face and came walking over. “Everything OK with you two ? ” I asked. Violted threw her arms around Devons’neck and nodded ” Yep all fine here , just something regarding our family back home. One of the members sent word that another member is due to have her baby early. She was showing signs of labour. I think we should head back for a few days and make sure everything goes to plan , but my brother wants to stay here is all “.

” I think you should go back ” I say, and Rion lets out a humorless laugh. ” Yea you would. But there is no need. We are needed here for Anthea to come up with a plan regarding getting her magic. There are plenty of people back home. They will have everything at hand ” he says, and the siblings share a look. ” If you leave I’m coming with you “, Devon tells Violet and she smiles and k****s his cheek. ” Of course you will be. “

My father and mother came out the back door , followed by Anthea , Peter and Abigail. We ate first. Dad took over the grill. It seemed that being here was his idea and he’d been itching to test out his new toy. I helped Anthea set up the outdoor table and when we were all sitting eating she dropped the news. ” I was wondering if I could have the support of you and the pack Sir, we don’t know wat we will face but Rion says he will help us prepare and share all the information he knows on the warlocks . My wolf keeps telling me it is important that I regain my powers. So I am choosing to trust her ” she asked my dad shyly.

My father looked on at her fondly , he set his knife and fork down and steeple his hands infront og his face. ” In order to get the full packs support Anthea the pack would have to know what is happening here, if we need fighters we can not send them in blind. I am more than happy to help in anyway that I can, this pack is the strongest pack. But we need to tell them , show them to not always judge a book by its cover. I know we have to keep who you two are a secret , but if Anthea is to live here with powers once we get them back then the pack will need to be aware ” my dad explains.

RIon pipes up ” With all due respect Sir , if Anthea gains her powers back. The safest place for her to be will be with us , on our land. With others like her. Where we will protect her and not treat her differently. I mean I don’t mean to point the obvious out here , but your pack does not handle differences very well. I saw that first hand today walking through the village with ANthea. How will they treat her once they know the whole truth? Word would spread and hunters would come for her. She needs to be with us, hidden “.

” You mean with you ” I growled. He looked at me, his eyebrows raised and didn’t deny it. ” Over my dead f*****g body, do you think you have that sort of say so over her life a*****e , Anthea will be where she wants to be “, I snapped, standing up. Rion did too , his hands balling at his sides and all I could think was f*****g finally. I had wanted to fight this prick the minute he laid eyes on her.
