Chapter 4: Rejection
1538 Words
Nxy’s POV
As I prepared for graduation today, I had so many thoughts in my head. Why weren’t my parents here? What am I going to do after graduation? Why the hell did Santino call me his mate last night?
So many thought crowded my brain. That d**n scent was all up in my nose too!
I put on my cap and gown, grabbed the keys to my new car and finally went to go see it and hopefully drive it to graduation. I don’t even have a tag yet, but who cares.
I headed downstairs to meet the whole pack house standing with signs that said “Congrats Nyx!”
I was in awe. I was actually weirded out. I barely even spoke to some of these people.
“Ooooh. Wooow.” I said awkwardly. “This is so nice of you all.”
I hugged everyone, everyone but Santino. He sat in the corner looking all grumpy and upset. His eyes were like daggers. I quickly went outside after thanking everyone to check out my new car.
For all I knew, I hated him. He ruined my birthday, made my life a living hell and joked around about being his mate.
I went outside and saw my beautiful white Range Rover. The interior was tan and it smelled like new car.
Okay! My day was starting to get better. I got into the passenger seat and honked the horn. The Alpha and Luna looked pleased to see I actually appreciated and liked it.
Today is graduation and I wasn’t going to let miserable Santino ruin it.

As we filed into the auditorium, I could not help but think about all my achievements. Everything was finally coming together.
It finally got to my name. “Nyx Walker”. I walked across the stage so proud. I could hear Deena yelling my name.
“Yeah! Go sexy Nxy!”
All the teachers looked at her with warning or else she’ll get kicked out. I shyly shook my head and waved at her.
As I walked down the stairs after getting my diploma and shaking everyone’s hand that scent hit me again. It was him. Santino. Why the hell was he here. I ignored it and kept walking back to my seat.
After the graduation, a lot of my classmates wanted to go out, but I wanted to just go home and enjoy the peace of mind now that everything was finally finished.
“Nyx. Johnny over there said you should come to dinner with us.” Deena pointed.
Johnny smiled and waved at me while looking at his friends. Johnny was this tall basketball player. He had a slim build, with a low cut fade and looked so good.
“I think you should come.” Deena nudged me
“Hmmm. You know what? I just might come out.” I responded
“Good! Pick you up at 8. Oh what you have your own car now girl!” Deena said while giving the thumbs up to Johnny

I decided to wear this red mini skirt, with a black halter top. I did a blow out and wand curl. My hair was so cute.
I headed downstairs when I felt someone grab my arm and yank me into one of the guest bedrooms.
“What the hell?” I said while turning around.
Santino stood there with black eyes. He looked so angry.
“Where the hell are you going like that?” He said sternly
“First of all, you are not my father, my brother, my mother or MY MATE.” I yelled back.
He pushed me on the bed and kicked over the dresser next to the bed.
“Oh yeah?! I’m not your mate?! He yelled.
Suddenly the moonlight shined through the window on the two of us illuminating our bodies. A fire rose in me and my wolf was off the chain.
He grabbed my arm and pulled me close to him.
“See. I am your mate. Moon Goddess says so.” He whispered in my ear.
“This can’t be true. How can we be mates. A**hole” I screamed
Something switched in his brain. He let go of my arm and said to me.
“I’m not your mate? Im not good enough for you? You of all people? You’re not good enough for me. Can’t even cook a simple Fettuccine! I tell you what.
I Santino Ricci, of the Crown Pack, reject Nyx Walker of the Crown pack as my mate!”
His pride had gotten the best of him. I felt insulted enough to return the favor.
“Fine! I, Nyx Walker of Crown Pack, reject Santino Ricci of Crown Pack as my mate!” I screamed
The glow began to fade and the moonlight dimmed. My wolf began to howl
“You’re wouldn’t have been a good Luna anyway.” He snarled at me and walked away.
His pride had made him do something he will soon regret.
I grabbed my jacket and ran downstairs to my car to head to dinner. I just sat in my car and cried. My wolf cried with me. How could he have been my mate? He did not act like one. He treated his wh**e girlfriends better than me.
I was so over his entitled, egotistical a**.
I got myself together and went inside to have a good time. We all met at the this club called Trojan. It was one of the best clubs in the city.
The vibes were good. The music the was lit and drink were flying everywhere. I was enjoying myself. Johnny came up to me and asked to dance and after everything that happened tonight I could not refused such a good time.
He grabbed my hand and led me to the dance floor. The music was filling my ears and forcing my hips to move in ways they never did. I was having a good time. Johnny grabbed my waist and began to grind up against my butt. I could feel him harden under his pants. I was turned all the way on.
“You’re a good dancer Nyx.” He whispered in my ear as I kept grinding up against him.
He turned me around and leaned in to kiss me. His lips felt so good. I’ve kissed before, but not like this. I could tell he wanted this night to end with me in his bed. I’m not going to lie. My body called out for some male attention. I was a virgin, but after being rejected by my mate anyone was fair game.
“And you’re a good kisser.” I whispered in his ear.
“Then let’s get out of here and go back to my place so you can enjoy more.” He said while kissing my neck.
Deena came over drunk tapping me on my shoulder. I could tell she was gone gone.
“Deena. You good girl?” I asked concerned
“Yeah. I think-“ Deena said before vomiting all over Johnny.
I couldn’t believe what just happened. I don’t know if was mad that she got some on my shoes or that she mess up my chances of losing my virginity tonight.
I just shook my head and grabbed Deena.
“I’m so sorry Johnny. Let me take her home. We can hang another time.” I said apologetically
I held up Deena and walker her to my car to drive her home.
Her mom got her from my car and took her inside. I decided to drive back to the pack house and call it a night.
I wanted to sit in my car for a bit. I didn’t want to face the humiliation I had experienced earlier.
I rolled the windows down to get a gentle breeze flowing inside of the car. It felt so good outside. The temperature was just right.
I leaned my head back against the head rest and closed my eyes until I heard a deep, husky and clearly fuming voice.
“You f***ing wh**e.”
I opened my eyes and there Santino was outside my window standing there fuming.
“What the hell did you call me?” I said angrily.
“I can smell him all over you. I can sense all the places he put his lips all over you. Did you f**k him?!” He yelled
“Why does it even matter? You rejected me! I can f**k whoever I want!” I said getting out of here car and slamming the door.
“I knew I made the right decision rejecting you. As soon as you had the chance you were on the d**k of the first person to show you attention” he spat.
I couldn’t take this. This man is mad! Mad I tell you!
“I’m so done with this game you’re playing Santino. I’m leaving and I’m going to get as far away as possible away from you.” I yelled running into the house.
“Please. I can’t stand the smell of you.” He spat back.
