CHAPTER 1*PROLOGUE*
I pushed my way through the sea of people gathered for the birthday ceremony of Alpha Nicholas son Jason. it was more like a double occasion, his 18th Birthday ceremony and his coming of age ceremony where if lucky he would to find his mate if the goddess will. This was why fresh packs filled up the hall.
My coming of age is a year away, and I wasn’t sure if I should be happy about it or not. It’s more complicated than I want to admit. Because I do not know where to place us, or how to label our friendship because no one knows about us, although he assured me of how he feels, I can’t help the doubt.
But I have grown to like him and he likes me back, he never really tells me but I know he does, which explains the reason he cared about him so much.
I staggered backwards, holding tight to the tray of small chops in my hand when I felt someone pull at my hand fiercely. I turned to yell at the culprit, only to realize it was my friend. He pulled me harshly through the crowd to the
dragging me to our secret meeting place in the kids’ playground, most people usually meet secretly in the woods, but for us in a pack filled with wolves, meeting in the woods was risky because any pack member might feel the need to let out their wolf and run in the woods there is an almost 90% chance that they run into us.
so we meet at the basement of the kids’ playground building. He pushed me in harshly and I groaned in pain from the bruise of his handprint on my skin.
‘’ That hurts’’
I hissed with a frown on my face as I watched, paced up and down the small space.
“What’s the matter why are you restless, did something happen?”
I asked worriedly walking up to him to touch him only for him to yank his hand away from me.
“No No No No, this can’t be happening, it can’t. we can’t be mates. Oh goddess, I’m fucked.”
He caused whispering to himself, but I heard him say, mates. Hold on a minute. mates oh my goodness we’re mates, today is also his 18th Birthday how did I forget about that.
“Oh, my goodness, are we mates?”
I asked in excitement, it would make perfect sense if we are, I jumped smiling triumphantly at him. But he turned to me with a deep frown and glare on his face.
“Didn’t you hear me, this can’t be happening? We can’t be mates.”
he growled out, and I cautiously took a step back, out of fear at his sudden anger because he had never screamed at me before
“What do you mean by we can’t be mates Brandon, isn’t this what we both wanted? We don’t have to be apart or hide our friendship anymore.”
I asked on the verge of tears, not expecting this kind of reaction from him. I thought we had a good understanding.
“it is what you want, not what I want, Jared. I am not gay, we can’t be mates.”
he replied harshly with a deep growl.
“what do you mean by you’re not gay, I wasn’t gay, you made me gay and now you’re denying not being gay, everything you did with me was gay Brandon. how can you say you’re not gay.”
I lashed out, screaming at him, fighting hard to hold back my tears? Before I knew what was happening Brandon balled his fist hitting me square in the face and I stumbled backwards falling on my ass.
“Don’t you ever f*****g raise your voice at me omega ever again. I am not gay. Everything I did with you was out of pity for your pathetic, useless self, I am not gay and I’ll never be.”
He spat out with a growl and I held my cheek, tears leaving my eyes at their own free will. I couldn’t hold it in anymore. This was like a dream to me I so badly wish to wake up from. This wasn’t the Brandon I know.
My Brandon isn’t aggressive, never raised his voice at me, always comforted me when I had a bad day in the packhouse. This Brandon here was someone else.
“Tell me what I did wrong please this isn’t you, you would never hit me.”
I said, standing up and walking over to him.
“I did, and I would hit you again if you don’t f*****g step back.”
he snarled at me and I took fearful steps back at the aura he was emitting.
“But, we are mates,”
I whispered to myself weakly. he snarled at that, and I bit my trembling lips.
“Not anymore and never will be.”
he spat, walking up to me.
“I BRANDON MOORE rejects you JARED KINGS as my mate and omega as the moon bears witness.”
