Never too late: a lesson learns from a rejection.

Chapter 04: One-night stand

Jack’s P.O.V

I never wanted a mate.

I had seen what it did to my father. My mom passed away when I was 10 years old, from a car accident. When my mom left this world, she took my father's soul with her. He was really lost to this world. He loved my mom so much. His whole world was her. He did everything to please her, so did she. After her loss, he completely shut himself down for emotions and connections with others. He did not take care of himself or us. Just did his duty as the Beta of the pack. Training, work, eat, sleep, training, that was his cycle. I did not see anything interesting in that. There were plenty of women out there for him, but he never took the opportunity. I felt really sorry for him. Seeing him that way, I decided that I did not need a mate for my life.

My mom and dad have three sons. My elder brother was training with my father to be the future beta of the pack. He is the same age as our future alpha. They are best friends. He found his mate a few years ago. Just like my father, his whole world was his mate. They could not keep their hands to themselves and got married right after they met each other. They are expecting a baby soon to build their own family. My second brother was a playboy and a party animal, like me. I admired him a lot. He is a pack worrier. Just as my elder brother, in the end, he also fell into the trap with his mate and got married last year. In the end, I was the only unmated, unmarried person in the family, but I did not want any of that.

I was everyone’s favorite. I was a spoiled kid. From a very young age, I got everything I want. I did not have to move a single finger to get what I want. I was Luna’s favorite. I had all the freedom I want. Father did not pay much attention to what I was doing, how I lived. I was fine with that. Just like my second brother, I trained to be a pack warier. Because of my charm, I went to a lot of delegations with my dad and the alpha. I helped my dad and brothers to run the family business. After all, I was 21 years old and an independent man. I had a financially and socially stable life.

I have an athletic body, with dark hair and gem black eyes. I was the football team caption and school body president. Even since I became 14 years old, girls were all over me.  Not like other dudes at my age, I did not have to make a single effort to get them to like me. I was enjoying it. I slept with most of the girls in school and had some extra experiences with outsiders. I was an experienced man in bed. I knew, for what they were good in bed. Based on my needs, I picked girls for the night. Therefore, I did not need a mate and I did not want to commit myself to a single woman.

Like every other day, I was entering the club to have some drinks and pick some girls for the night. The club and the bar were full of people and alcohol. Therefore, it was normally difficult to distinguish anything based on the small. On that day, when I passed the front door, I smelled something that I have never felt before. It was a very strong and addictive smell. I looked in the direction where it came and my eyes locked with her, Lucy. My wolf, Xander, immediately become needy and started to jump in my head, repeating the word “mate, mate….”

“No f*****g way. I have all the girls in the world, but why she had to be my f*****g mate” I told myself. My wolf was getting really impatient and got irritated with my thoughts.

When I saw her eyes, I knew that she had realized the same thing. I just wanted to reject her on that very spot, but a thought came to m mind, why not have a taste for a night. She was a short pretty girl. She had perfect curves. I always wanted to have a taste of her. I knew that she used to watch me when we were in school, but her eyes were never filled with lust. She just watched me purely for her entertainment and never took a chance to talk with me. For that I hated her. I tried to ignore her, but I had caught myself several times staring at her. I did not know why I did that. Like, all other wolves in the school, I ignored her. I realized it was a perfect chance to see what was underneath those clothes, to fill my lust for her. She never wore clothes to reviled herself. We boys always wanted to see what was underneath those layers of clothes on her curvy body. A few of my friends tried to approach her, but she never showed any interest. I just wanted to feel those plumpy boobs of her and feel myself in between them. I also knew that she was a virgin. I always wanted to try with a virgin and, but I never got the chance. In the end, I had a lot of reasons to put some little effort to have her for a single night. When I saw those eyes, I knew that she was not going to say “no” to me and it provoked me more. I thought again, why not. After the night, I planned to reject her. She would have her own life afterward, and I would have mine back.

“No, you are not going to take her just for a night, but you will mate her for the lifetime”. Xander told me.

“No f*****g way she is going to be my mate” I repeated myself to Xander. He growled at me.

“You will get one night, that is all.  No more. If you say more, I will reject her on this spot”. I threaten Xander. He paid me no attention to that and just replied with a growl.

“Let’s see. Let’s see what will happen after tonight”. I felt that he had a lot of hopes that I will not reject her after the night.

Xander was very impatient. He kept my eyes focused on her. I took the initiative and walked toward the bar. At the bar, I took my drink from Michel and talked with her. She was busy but did not show disinterests in hanging out with me after her works. I told her to meet me after work at the front door. I took my leaves and joined my friend and girls in the club. 

“You look really happy today. What happened? Do you like to share the news with us?” Jenna asked, one of my many friends with benefits. She was a she-wolf from my pack. At that point, I realized that I was smiling and thinking about Lucy. 

“I found my mate today”. I told them.

“Who is she? Do we know her”? Katie asked, like Jenna, she was one of my many girls I usually took out for some funs.

“You know her very well. Believe me, I am surprised about her. She is our favorite out-cast girl, Lucy”.

“The trash virgin?”  Katie again.

“Oh ya”.

“What are you gonna do about her? You are gonna reject her, aren’t you? Katie again

“Why should I? She seems like a good f**k”. Jenna and Katie both showed upset faces. They might have been thinking that they had lost their fuckbuddy. I also got the feeling that they were actually jealous of Lucy.

“Of course, I will reject her, but I want to have some fun with her”

“What do you mean, you want to have fun with her? Are you planning to f**k her”? Jenna said.

“You just read my mind. I will claim her virginity tonight and reject her tomorrow. I don’t care whether she will accept it or not, I do not need a mate in my life when I have beautiful girls like you. Why do I even have to stick to a single girl?” I told them. They seemed to be happy with my answer.

“That will be a good lesson for that trashy b***h. I really hate her”. Jenna told.

“Why is that?”

“I don’t know, I just do. Now I hate her more because she is your mate”. Jenna again. I know that Jenna had a secret crush on me. She even secretly wished that I would be her mate. It made things easier for me with her.

Around 11.00 PM, I went to the front door. After a couple of seconds, I could sense her, reaching to me. My wolf starts to jump in my head. I did not understand my wolf. She was just like another regular girl. He never paid, enjoyed, or participated when I was with other girls, but when we saw her, he was just trying to take control. I pushed Xander back into my head. I started to sleep around with girls, long before he joined my life. I was not ready to give my lifestyle up, just because of the sake of my wolf.

When she approached me, I just took her hand and led her to my car, without saying anything. I could tell that she was blushing. I could feel that sparkles are running all over our bodies. It felt different, but I liked it. I opened the door for her.

“Thank you”. She said when we inside the car. I did not reply to her. I was staring at her. The first time in my life, I realized how beautiful she was. I knew that she has a perfect body, but I did not pay much attention to realize that she has a pretty face as well. She was prettier than any woman I have even been with. I could see that her lips are tinging, waiting for my kiss. Without saying anything, I kissed her. She kissed me back. I deepened my kiss and explore her mouth with my tongue. My wolf tried to take control, I had to put a lot of energy to put Xander back in place. She tasted fantastic. After a few minutes, we broke the kiss and grasped some air.

“You look beautiful today”. I said to her. She got redden immediately. I realized that she is one of those girls who can blush easily. It seemed nice. I could say that I liked her redden face a lot. I could sense that she was nervous. She looked so innocent and fragile. I did not know why and how I got the feeling to protect her from this dark and dangerous world. It was like I want to be the savior of her life. I just dismissed my feeling. My wolf was jumping in my head. I knew what to do. I hold her hand again. It felt good to have her hand in my hand and my wolf felt happy and calm about that. We drive to my private apartment where I spend most of the nights with girls.
