Marrying The Wrong Alpha

CHAPTER 6 - The Rejected Mate

Marcus POV

Arranging the marriage turned out to be a tiresome thing to do. Even though I was happy to get married to Simone. Still, I found myself getting bored as her father ran through the details of the ceremony. Simone and her father enthusiastically talked about the sitting arrangement, the decorations, music, etc., while my attention went elsewhere.

I couldn’t help but notice that she was actually beautiful. Her gorgeous hazel eyes were full of excitement as she spoke. She looked excited to plan the wedding, unlike me. I was lucky to have her as my wife. If I could turn back time, the old me would probably think that I was crazy. I make an important decision in my life in just one night. Yes, it only took one night for me to make sure that I wanted to marry her. “So, what do you think, Marcus?” Alpha Alex suddenly asked. Damn! I didn’t pay attention to them. What is it that he was asking me? I cleared my throat awkwardly. “I’m sorry, Alpha. What is it again?” I asked timidly and felt so dumb. “He was asking you where we would live after we got married. He was hoping that we could stay here in my pack.” Simone helped to explain before her father eats me alive.

“I have to stay in my pack, but I think we can arrange maybe we’ll visit every month here. If that’s okay with you.” I told her dad, nervously. His eyes went gloomy. I think he wasn’t prepared to be separated from his only daughter. “I see…I can understand…Ok, Simone. I think we have made him bored for the whole day. Let’s just call it a day and continue again tomorrow.” He said, half smiling, then got up from his chair. “No, Alpha. I’m not bored. It's just something been… distracting me lately.” I replied as I throw a glance at Simone. She was blushing. “Stay for dinner, Marcus.” Alpha Alex then offered. I nod at him, then he exited the room and left us. “So, you’re not into a wedding, huh?” Simone asked, raising one eyebrow at me. “If you won’t stop teasing me, I won’t be responsible for what will happen next.”  She punched me lightly. “Did you enjoy teasing me that much?” I grabbed her by her waist and pulled her closer.

Her eyes stared back at me in shock. “I did? When?” What a fierce woman! She has the nerve to look me back in the eyes. I smirked at her, “Don’t challenge me! Or you won’t like my punishment.” I said as I cupped her ass in my palms. I leaned closer to her face. “Get a room! You both…” Suddenly, her brother came into the room. Simone pushed me back instantly. “Oliver, when did you come?” She said as she straightens her skirt back, which was hoisted up earlier by my hands. “Long enough to see him grabbing your ass.” He said casually. Simone's eyes went wide, “Promised me you won't tell dad!” She ranted out. I think Alpha Alex was a strict person. I still remember that I was her first kiss. It was unbelievable for a woman as beautiful as her. “It depends…” Oliver replied with an evil smile on his face. I rolled back my eyes at his childish behavior. “What do you want, Oliver? Just spit it out.” Simone asked him bluntly.

“I want you to let me win the match next week.” He said. Simone burst out laughing, “What so funny about that?” he asked, feeling annoyed. “You’re so pathetic, Oliver.” She curtly said. “You don’t need to do that. Just let him told your dad. We’re getting married next week anyway.” I pulled her back to me. He scoffed at us. “Whatever, you’re no fun!” he said, then left angrily.

************************

After we had dinner, we strolled around in her garden. “Simone, I want to bring you to my pack before the wedding. You haven’t met my father yet.” I said as we walked side by side slowly. “How was he? How if he didn’t like me?” she suddenly got worried. I smiled at her, “You don’t need to worry about that. If he didn’t like you, then we will run away together.” I stated firmly. I don’t know where do I get such a crazy idea from? It was too soon to say that I was in love with her. I don’t even think that I was capable of loving someone. I just want her badly for now.

No one can stop me, including my dad. I was a grown-up man now, and I was fully capable of making my own choice. “What did you say? Are you out of your mind?” She asked in disbelief. I took both of her hands, “Just met him first, okay? I’m sure he’ll like you.” I then said, assuring her. She nods at me, but I can still see the hesitation in her eyes. “I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning. Now, have some rest.” I said and kissed her forehead. “Good night, Marcus.” She said to me. I left without replying to her last words. 

I felt exhausted after coming back from Simone’s place, maybe because I didn’t have enough sleep last night. I think I’ll have a quick bath then directly crashed into bed to sleep. I took off all my clothes and standing under the shower. As the warm water running into my skin, the image of Simone’s face came into my mind. Then the memories of our short make out session today rushed back to me. How her soft yet dominant lips felt against mine, her delicate hands that were touching my bare chest to my lower abs. I can even felt her hands on me now. My wolf suddenly came into life again. But, how? I opened my eyes and shocked to see Charlotte – my mate was standing behind me, naked. She was joining me in the shower. No wonder my body is reacting this way. “Charlotte, what are you doing?” I asked in an angered tone. She pressed me into the wall. “I can’t control it, Marcus. My wolf needs her mate right now,” she said in a low tone. Her breath went erratically as she grinds herself towards me.

Her touch felt amazing against my skin, I was almost responded to her invitation. But the second our lips met, I remember the kiss I just had with Simone. I was managed to push her back from me. “Stop it, Charlotte!” I spat at her, then harshly grabbed my towel and got out of the shower. As I put my clothes on, she scurried out from the bathroom towards me. “Why you always rejected me, Marcus? I was your mate!” she asked painfully. I never rejected her formally as my mate, but I never responded to her s****l invitation. I wore my t-shirt then turned around facing her, “I’ll get married next week, Charlotte. You should just forget about me.” I told her directly into her eyes. Her eyes were full of pain as if I was cheating on her. Her body was shivering because of the cold water, “Who’s that woman?” she asked in a deadly tone.
