His Hybrid Slave Mate

6. Cruel rejection from the cold hearted mate!

Emily moved backwards feeling his gaze that was stuck on the concrete ground suddenly shoot up and still on her face.

It caused her heart to skip beating and her face heated. Nope, it was not the kind of heat you sense out of a ticklish feeling when your mate looks at you lovingly! It was a heat that was burning her skin in discomfort and wanting her to pray that the ground cracked and swallowed her in.

"You think I am grateful after knowing you're my mate?" Emily raised her eyebrows hesitantly as she processed his words.

It was a reply to her exclamation she made five minutes ago!

Indeed he didn't seem grateful for meeting her. That frown on his face and twisting of lips conveyed how frustrated he was. Despite that, he didn't utter anything in order to show he was mad. But legit, Emily read his expressions as they expressed his emotions.

Adam Harris, the elder son of Alpha. He was born out of one of the women Alpha Harris had affairs with before he married Luna.

He was two year old when his mother knocked at the doors of Alpha's manor and handed him to his father before she left, and never returned.

She was financially broke and raising the Alpha's child was hard for her. So she did what was best for the child as Alpha's offspring. She handed him to his father rather than dropping him elsewhere.

Mrs. Harris was not ready to take him, the Alpha's bastard, in. She did not want a bastard in the house as his presence would give rise to various controversies and ruin the name of the pack.

But at that time they were unable to make a baby. Assuming that if they could not make a baby then this illegitimate child of his would take his pack further as an alpha, Alpha Harris accepted Adam. No matter what, a pack should never remain without an alpha.

However, soon after a few months it was found out that Luna was pregnant and they were expecting their own kid. She insisted Alpha send Adam away or raise him in a place which was not in the pack, but Alpha refused.

He chose to keep Adam albeit not as his heir but just as an illegitimate son with no title. That's because his Luna took a promise from him that their son, Jayden, would get the throne of the Alpha and all the rights as the successor of the pack and as his legitimate son if he preferred to keep his first son.

And since then Adam was known as a bastard. People remembered him as a bastard to the alpha, not with his name!

Anyways, his eyes glowered. No doubts he can see it in her eyes how she was looking at him. Like others Emily was glancing at him with a gaze that viewed him as a bastard, not an Alpha's son— illegitimate or not.

He took a step towards her and grabbed her hand.

"I can smell my baby brother's scent on you. Seems like you're one of his secret sluts!" Simmering anger lit his grey eyes, making them look darker than usual.

"I... I..." Emily wanted to talk.

She wanted to tell him he was guessing it wrong. She wanted to tell him that she was untouched and a virgin.

But her stupid body didn't support her. That's because his scorching gaze froze her. She got scared. Her mouth sealed shut and her pupils fixated on his face, fearing that his canines would pop out anytime and he would rip her throat off.

She had heard bad things about him. Adam Harris was described as a jealous illegitimate son. He was said to be envying his half brother , Jayden, for getting all his father's attention and all the rights as that of a true heir to the throne.

She didn't want to believe it but she can see it in his eyes.

"You are hurting my hand, A-Adam." Emily nibbled her lower lip.

Had he not let her go, she would have ended up with moist eyes. It was a jerky release. So intense that she fell back on a car she regretted falling on. The next thing that happened was him hovering over her, his hands beside her face as his brawny frame covered her small one.

Dread chilled Emily's spine. He was not going to kiss her in the parking area, was he?

"That's what I basically do, Emily. I hurt people because they piss me off. Surprisingly, you are one of them." He spat out the words contemptuously on her mouth and she shivered.

This was not how she desired to meet him. Illegitimate or not, he was her mate. He could show a little kindness to her. They were going to spend the rest of their lives together after all!

But no, Adam Harris, 22 years old angry young man with a fearful personality yet a breath-hitching handsome face— had to show what he was made up of and freak his little mate out.

"I n-never thought m-my mate wo-would be so harsh on me." She closed her eyes as locking them with his dark ones was much harder than one can think it would be.

Emily had only shared what she felt with HER MATE, but hadn't known that he would take it in a wrong way.

This is what Adam did when he moved away and ground his teeth like a mad wolf. He began inhaling aggressively as his eye colour changed and fangs erupted from his mouth. She provoked him!

"Oh yes, mate! I forgot you are my mate." The bridled anger in his voice shook Emily but at the same time caused her to open her eyes.

Dread engulfed her as she set her eyes on her mate. If it was possible to melt in fear, she would have become a mush. That was how much Adam fretted her.

"A-Adam?" Grasp escaped Emily's mouth when he grabbed her and brought her close to him.

His head lowered since she was short. She barely reached his chin. Emily felt fizzy when she realized their faces were so close. And with those fangs and transformed eye colour, he appeared more fearful than any rogue would look.

She didn't want any of this. Neither his aggression nor her helplessness in front of him. They were supposed to meet and have a wonderful encounter.

Although it didn't unfold as she had wanted, she thought she could make their upcoming meetings better and wiser. With that intent Emily raised her hand to touch his arm, but what he stated next drained colour out of her face.

"You think I want a mate like you? A little girl who's probably warming my half brother's bed."

'T-that's not—"

"I have a girlfriend as gorgeous as heaven's nymph! There is no way I will seek a little girl for a mate against her. That is what I have come here to tell you when I saw you at the bus station." His curt voice lashed at her.

Emily attempted to say something but was cut off when he next said, "It would be hard, but you have to take it— I, Adam Harris, reject you, Emily Wilson, from seeking as my mate." rather announced.

He announced a rejection!

A rejection right after a few minutes of their meeting.

A rejection Emily had not seen coming or expected.

A rejection that made her wolf squirm and break into a thousand pieces.

"You can't do that to me." Tears dribbled like a stream of gushing water from her eyes. Alas, that heartless guy didn't care.

Adam released her hand quite harshly. He moved away as he watched Emily fall on the ground, keeping her hand on her heart.

"You can't do that. You can't! You can't." Emily bent below, her head touching the ground as she wept as though she lost the most precious thing of her life.

Adam's back lowered too as the mate bond they shared towards each other broke into fragments.

"It will hurt for a few days but you will be better afterwards." He wiped a drop of tear that flashed at the corner of his eyes. "This is better for you, Emily Wilson. Goodbye!"

Having that said, he settled i n his car and drove afar while Emily remained there weeping profusely.

Nobody's birthday could go as badly as this. Sadly, Emily was an exception— since her birth.
