My Brothers Mate

Chapter 2 - Rejection.

'I know what you came here to see, if you're a freak, then ya coming home with me and I know what you came here to do, now bust it open let me see you get low, it's going down for real, it's going down for real and they already know me, it's going down for real'

As you can tell, Cole's party is in full swing and luckily that's all that's swinging....for now.

After I spent nearly the whole day setting up Cole's party and cleaning up his messy ass room, I went up to my room and got to work on my homework which I wasn't able to do yesterday because I was too tired from my numerous chores as well as my many beatings and when I was finished, I read one of my favourite books on Dreame, I love reading and getting lost in somebody elses world and many dramas, it's a nice little break away from my own pathetic life.

I was grateful that nobody's bothered me all day, apart from the nasty messages that Cole has been sending me, I haven't seen or spoken to anybody which is a good thing because if I had then that would mean they had a problem with how I set up the party and I would've gotten another beating.

For the past few hours I've been down in the laundry room washing, drying, ironing and folding clothes, this is my favourite chore to do because it's a great stress reliever for me plus it gives me to time to think as well as time to talk to my wolf without fear of being caught.

Myself and Lucky talk about numerous different things mainly our plans for the future, most of which we disagree with each other on, like for example, I wanna go to college so I can get a degree and be an accountant, I also want to experience everything that every normal person my age gets to experience and I want to meet new people but my wolf, on the other hand, doesn't want any of that.

Lucky is an old school wolf and she'd rather we completed the marking and mating process the moment we meet our mate and then get married and have pups which is something that I also want but not yet, I don't wanna be one of those she wolves who settles down and devotes her whole life to her mate and pups at the young age of eighteen...no thanks, I wanna live a little.

Despite our many disagreements, me and my wolf always agree on one thing which is our mate and I think it's because he's the only thing that has kept us going and kept us sane all these years.

We often talk about what he's like? what he looks like? and what his scent smells like? but at the end of the day, all we really care about is that he's a really nice guy who will love and protect us and treats us like a princess and hopefully, he'll take us away from this hell hole but I doubt that will happen.

Even though I'm really excited and happy to meet my mate, I'm also feeling very apprehensive and extremely nervous about meeting him because I don't want him to treat me like how everybody else does but I know he will and I also fear that he'll reject me as soon as he sees me because even though I'm a really pretty girl, I'm not somebody who people would gush over and sadly that's all a man needs to reject his mate these days.

Years and years go, rejection wasn't as common as it is today and people happily accepted who the moon goddess had paired them up with for life but these days people prefer to have a chosen mate, especially alphas who would rather have a beautiful, sexy woman on their arm over their true mate so the likelihood of my mate accepting me and giving me a happy life is slim to none.

"Oh my goddess, will you stop being such a negative Nattie for once, our mate is gonna love us and protect us from this pathetic pack"

Yer says every b***h whose life is a hot ass mess and wants nothing more than for her prince charming to show up and save her.

"NATTIE, STOP!!, our mate is gonna love us just you watch"

"Well excuse me for being realistic, my delusional wolf"

"Correction, you're being negative, not realistic, not everyone in this world is like our so called family and pack, Natalia"

"Whatever Lucky"

My wolf was about to say something no doubt rude or cocky to me when she was interrupted by someone walking into the laundry room, I look up from the pile of clothes I was folding and I smile when I see my best friend Emily walking into the room, Emily is just like me, she was born into the beta family but after her family were killed by rogues, my asshole parents made her an omega and forced her to be a maid to the whole pack alongside myself.

"Hey Em, what are you doing here?"

"I came to give you this"

She hands me a small gift box which has been wrapped perfectly.

"What is this?"

She scoffs and rolls her eyes.

"Girl, have you forgotten what today is?"

"Errrm"

"It's your birthday i***t, you're officially eighteen"

What?, I pick up my phone and see that it's ten minutes past midnight...it's my birthday.

"Oh...I must've been so lost in doing laundry that I didn't notice"

"Whatever just hurry up and open it, I wanna see your face when you see what I've got you"

I chuckle at my friend, she's like a little kid sometimes.

I unwrap the gift and I gasped when I saw what Emily had bought me.

"Oh my moon goddess"

"Do you like it?"

Emily asked with an anxious look on her face.

"Like it? Em I love it, thank you so much"

I stand up and give her a hug which she quickly and happily reciprocated.

"You're welcome, Nat"

"How could you afford this though? it must've cost you a pretty penny"

I take out the necklace and put it on, it's so beautiful.

"It did but you're worth it"

"Am I?"

I asked her whilst looking down at the necklace.

"Of course you are Nattie besides everybody deserves at least one decent present for their eighteenth birthday"

I look up at her and smile.

"Thank you, Emily"

"You're welcome"

Emily stayed down in the laundry room with me and helped me finish up with the washing, she then helped me to take all of the washing around everyone's bedrooms before we went to our own rooms to get some rest.

"Goodnight birthday girl, I'll see you in the morning"

"Goodnight Em, I love you"

"I love you too, Nattie"

I walk into my room and go over to my bedside table, I take one last look at the necklace before putting it away in my drawer, you're probably wondering why I'm not wearing it, well, if anyone in our pack sees it, they'll most likely steal it or take it away from me because in their words 'I'm not allowed nice things', I was just about to turn my lamp on when out of nowhere.

BANG!!.

I was startled when my door burst open and I was hit with the most delicious scent, oh my goddess this is the most delicious scent ever, I could literally live off it.

"You're supposed to i***t, that's our mates scent"

Lucky said whilst rolling her eyes which I didn't know was possible.

Wait....did she just say this is our mate's scent?.

"Yes, yes I did now go to mate Nat, go to mate"

Lucky bounced around in excitement eager to meet our mate, I look over at the door where I see an all black silhouette of a man.

"C..can I h..help y..you?"

At first, he didn't speak, he just stood there breathing heavily which wasn't helping my anxiety at all neither was not knowing who he was, all I knew was that he's tall, he's got a delicious scent and I can tell that he works out just from his outline.

"Wh..hat's y..your n..name?"

Urgh!!, why can't I stop stuttering? this is my mate for god's sake, I should feel comfortable in his presence not scared or nervous.

"MINE!!"

In the blink of an eye, my mate had me pinned to the wall and his hand was wrapped around my neck, I placed my hand on his wrist and tried to remove his hand but I ended up getting lost in the pleasurable shocks and tingles that spread throughout my whole body from our skin making contact.

"What the fu...mmm"

Oh my god he's kissing me, my mate is kissing me, my mate just stole my first kiss and I don't even know his name or what he looks like, does that make me a slut?, I guess Cole was right, I am a w***e.

Just this thought alone made me feel horrible and I tried to push him off me but he just tightened his grip on my neck as he wrapped his free arm around my waist, he licked my lower lip wanting entrance but I denied him.

SMACK!!.

I gasped when my mate smacked my ass and he took advantage off it, his tongue invaded my mouth and my god did it feel and taste good, it didn't last long though because he quickly left my mouth and started to kiss along my jawline and down my neck.

"Oh god please, p..please s..stop, I....I d..don't know your n..name"

He continued his assault on my neck and I started to panic when I felt his teeth graze over the part of my neck were his mark will eventually be.

"N..no stop, i..it's too s..soon...AAHHH!!"

"Don't ever tell me no again, do you understand me?"

He growled out.

Wait....that voice, I've heard that voice somewhere before.

"Answer me mate, do you understand me?"

I nod my head.

"WORDS!!"

He growls and I cower away.

"Y..yes"

"That's a good girl"

He whispered as he moved his hand from my neck up to my face, I closed my eyes when he gently caressed my cheek with his thumb calming down my racing heart, I was dying to know who my mate is and what he looks like but I couldn't because we're surrounded in darkness, well, apart from the moonlight shining through the window which isn't enough for me to see anything.

"Mmm, you smell divine, mate"

He rubbed his lips over my soft spot and I shivered in pleasure.

"I really wanna mark you"

He kissed my neck and I once again panicked and tried to push him away from me when I felt his teeth on my soft spot again.

"No, it's too soon, I don't want to be marked yet"

My mate grabbed my chin in a tight grip causing me to wince.

"What did I tell you about saying no to me? HUH!!"

"Y..you're h..hurting m..me"

"I DON'T CARE, YOU WILL NEVER SAY NO TO ME AGAIN!!"

AAHHH!! f**k, he's really hurting me now.

"YOU WILL SUBMIT TO ME, DO YOU UNDERSTAND? I'M YOUR DOMINANT ALPHA AND YOU ARE MY SUBMISSIVE LUNA, THAT IS HOW IT'S GOING TO BE!!"

Alpha?....my mate is an alpha?.

I look up into his eyes hoping to see if I can recognise them but unfortunately, all I can see is jet black eyes with a huge tint of red in them, s**t, this means that not only is he fighting his wolf for control but he's also horny as f**k.

My eyes drift down his body to see if I can recognise anything that may give me a clue as to who my mate could be and unfortunately, I do recognise something, I narrow my eyes on his neck hoping that what I saw was just a figment of my imagination but it wasn't.

There sitting on my mate's neck is a bright red flower, the same red flower tattoo that my brother has got....no way, there's no possible way my brother, my blood brother, the guy who has been abusing, tormenting and bullying me for twelve god damn years is my mate.

What the f**k?....is this a joke? is the moon goddess playing a horrible prank on me? I mean how is this even possible?.

"C..C..Cole?"

He narrows his eyes down at me and I gasped when I saw his eyes flickering from black and red to green, the same colour green as Coles's eyes, oh god, this isn't happening.

"How do you know my name?"

"Y..you...y..you're my..m..my b..brother"

Cole is silent but I can still feel his heavy breathing on my skin.

"What?"

I flinch when he growls, I hate it when anyone growls around me even though I should be used to it considering I'm a wolf and I've always got someone growling at me for something small or stupid.

Cole switches the light on and I grimace blinking my eyes several times to get used to the light again.

"No...no, no, no, no, no, no, NO!!"

Cole paces up and down my room whilst roughly tugging on his hair.

"This is a joke, this has got to be a f*****g joke"

"No s**t we're siblings, we can't be mates"

I was holding my neck which was in a lot of pain as I looked down at the floor, I could feel tears brimming my eyes and I was hoping they wouldn't fall but the traitorous bastards did.

"AAHHHH!!"

I screamed in pain when Cole viciously grabbed my chin again, I look up into his eyes and cried more tears when I saw so much hate and anger in his eyes, why does he hate me so much? it doesn't matter if I'm his sister or his mate, shouldn't he love me unconditionally?.

"Cole pl..please"

"SHUT UP!!, I AM NOT COLE TO YOU, I AM ALPHA COLE, YOUR BROTHER AND YOUR SUPERIOR"

"Y..you're m..my m..mate"

I whimpered but it wasn't all me, it was also Lucky who was trying to fight me for control.

Cole laughed evilly as he smirked at me.

"You're nothing to me, Natalia, never have been and never will be, you're weak and pathetic, you're so f*****g useless, how can I make you my Luna?"

"Please"

Lucky whimpers.

"You disgust me"

He shoves me and I fall banging my head on my bedside table.

"I Cole Demetrius Vasquez reject you, Natalia Isabella Vasquez, as my mate, my sister and my future Luna of The Dark Shadows pack, don't you dare f*****g tell anybody about this otherwise I'll f*****g kill you, not that anyone will believe you anyway since everyone already knows you're a habitual liar"

I slump on the floor feeling my heartbreak and shatter into millions of pieces.

"Happy birthday Nattie, I hope you have a wonderful day"

Cole taunts and laughs as he leaves my room, leaving me a heartbroken mess on the floor.
