Chapter - 3

1203 Words
Hailey and I were afraid of working at the Packhouse right now as we are preparing to sleep tonight. Hailey and I knew that if Alpha Jacob were here and made a mistake in our work, we would die young virgins without a mate. Rosie planned to stay at Derrick Place because Derrick was ill. "Hailey, are you paying attention to me?" Hailey called out as she wished me a "happy birthday, Grace!" Hailey brought a sweet cupcake for me to enjoy during the celebration. The dazed words burst out from my mouth, "You remember my birthday.". "How can I possibly forget my best friend's birthday and my sister's birthday?" Hailey replied. Haley was smiling happily at me, but I completely forgot that Alpha Jacob is in the Packhouse, the Monster Alpha, because he kills people without mercy. "Grace, please extinguish the flames on the cupcakes," Hailey replied. So I divided one muffin into two pieces and fed one to Hailey and myself. When I awoke the following day, Hailey was still sleeping, and I showered to clean myself off. When I got out of the shower, I still had marks from Lilly's beating on my arms and back. I applied medicine to the scars. I reached for the old wooden wardrobe when suddenly a strange noise was made, waking up Hailey. Hailey growls in disgust, "Wait... it is already morning," as she gradually makes her way to the bathroom. I take out the clothes I'll wear today: faded blue jeans and a white t-shirt that will help conceal my arm scars and cover them. Considering that I had tied my hair up in a ponytail, it wasn't surprising to see that my red hair looked unkempt today. To conceal my dark circles, I used makeup to disguise my hazel orbs so that they did not stand out. To further boost my fair skin, I applied a thin layer of nudged lip color to my lips to give them a brighter complexion. "Hailey, hurry! You don't have another twenty minutes in the shower." I yelled at her while wearing my sneakers. "I will be back in five minutes. You get going now," Hailey said in response. While I admit, I was resentful that Hailey overslept each day and that I would have to run errands for Hailey instead. It did not take me long to walk into the kitchen, and then I checked the Packhouse refrigerator after putting on my apron and went to get some eggs to feed my friend Hailey and me for breakfast because we had a long day ahead. However, some leftovers will be leftovers at the end of the party for us. Only one thing that would make this party better was the gourmet food forbidden to the servants and that I had been looking forward to. However, we get gourmet leftovers from parties when they happen in a packhouse. So it was something I anticipated. Suddenly, I noticed footsteps behind me, and I thought it might have been Hailey with the sound I heard. However, the sound of the footsteps was heavy. Therefore, I don't believe it was Hailey. It was a strong, sweet, and sharp scent that immediately drew my attention when Cindy (my wolf) jumped to the surface. As soon as my mate's scent reached my nostrils, Cindy sighed in delight. When I turned to face my mate, I saw a tall, well-built man with a handsome appearance standing in front of me. His brown hair is unkempt, but his eyes are round and dark, and you can't miss them because they're dark onyx. I could see his chiseled jawline as he drew closer and closed the gap between us. In a moment, he seemed to shift his gaze towards me, and he caressed the sides of my cheeks as if he had sensed the bond that existed between us. I felt as though he had felt the warmth that filled my heart as he stroked my cheek with his fingers, as if he could sense it as well. A wave of anxiety passed through me as his evil smile slammed down on me. "So, what should I do with you, sweet little Luna? Would you like to be a part of my pack, or are you more interested in being a plaything?" "Wait, Luna, what the hell are you talking about?" I replied. "Alpha Jacob is at your service, my Luna. Some also refer to me as the Monster Alpha." He replied with a small snort. My mind was completely blank at the time about why Goddess Selene was torturing me in this manner. My sole desire from the moon goddess was to have a mate and not a monster. Jacob's cold eyes stared at me, hands grasping at my throat as he said, "Tell me your full name." My voice trembled as I answered, "Grace Caddel." "Jacob Green, the Alpha of the Red Moon pack, has rejected Grace Caddel as Luna," the Alpha Jacob said with a scream. I was in the most unbearable pain. Likewise, Cindy's wolf is filled with anguish because of the rejection. Towards the end of the conversation, Alpha Jacob spoke gravely to me as he tightened his hand around my throat: "You need to accept my rejection at this moment." The moment Alpha Jacob let go of me, I slumped to the ground as my chest heaved in response to the immediate need for air. Finally, I said in a low voice, "I can't accept this rejection.". After growing angry at me, Alpha Jacob glared at me. Alpha Jacob kissed my cheek and said, "Well, welcome to hell, Grace. There will be more difficulties for you, but I have to admit I am looking forward to it." He then left for the training grounds. As I lay on the ground, tears were streaming down my face. I realized that I should have accepted Monster Alpha Jacob's rejection. It would have been painful at first, but I would have been free from the shackles that tied me down. Instead, I yelled mentally, "f*****g i***t Grace! ". Hailey came down and looked scared to see me like this and asked, "What happened to you?" as I wept. "Hailey, my mate, has rejected me; he's the Monster Alpha Jacob." I sobbed in reply. Hailey gasped in surprise, her face filled with shock and utter terror. "Have you accepted his rejection?" Hailey asked. As Hailey carried me to my room, I replied, "I hadn't accepted the rejection from him at all." As Hailey held me. "Surely, you must be crazy, Grace; you know that the rejection might have hurt at first, but you would have been free from the grip of that man. So, why didn't you do it?" Hailey snapped in anger. As I lay in my bed in pain, I wept as I went to sleep. I felt less pain as the evening progressed; my body felt better. It appears Hailey has taken good care of me, but it looks like the party banquet is just about to start. To get ready for the party, I refreshed my makeup and made my way to the party to do the work.
