Your Mistake, Alpha Red

2

Chapter Two:

Aida's POV

This would surely get me punished. And I may get to live outside of my pack for the rest of my life but damn anyone, damn them again.

Alpha Red was stunned or maybe he wasn't. I could never read the expression he always wore. He left his table where he read and stood up. If he had moved towards me, I knew my wolf would have attacked him. She was mad like that.

"You are really something interfering with my mind link and spitting such rubbish." He said coldly.

I didn't even realize what I just did. Indeed I had broken his mind link, an Alpha's mind link. But that wasn't my problem now. So what if I had done it? Give me my punishment and let me be on my way. But he just stood there, staring at me.

“What was wrong with him?” I asked Dennis but I knew she was confused like I was. Was he finally regretting his actions?

“I reject your rejection, Aida Sundew.”

What? Dennis growled at him before she paused. He didn’t accept it? And why could that be?

“I said you’d be useful for something. How dare you try to avoid responsibility and run away?” He placed the book he held on a table and advanced towards me. “Remember your place.”

For a moment, my whole resolve nearly died. He was an Alpha after all, and was also my mate. What was I thinking trying to challenge him?

But Dennis growled again and advanced as he came close. Alpha Red stopped moving and for the first time, there was on expression on his face. Annoyance.

I knew Dennis was confused, I was too. If he had rejected us, didn’t he mean he didn’t want us? If I don’t accept his rejection, he and I will never be able to have a second chance mate.

Dennis sped out of the house when the guards outside began to recover. I didn’t get it. What just happened? Did he reject us or not? I shifted back to my human form and wore my dress.

An exhale left my lips and I arranged her hair before running calmly towards the university. It wasn’t very far from my pack and has been my home for four years.

When I arrived, the graduation had ended and graduates were taking pictures. Someone noticed me and ran towards me. “Can I take a picture with you, Aida? Just one please?”

In response, I forced a smile and posed and he held unto my waist and posed as well. The photographer took a picture before signaling he was done.

I smiled at him. “I’d like one of the pictures too. Thanks.”

He beamed. “Huh? The awarded best student of our course wants a picture of me? My mother’s prayers finally reached God.” He was always so funny. Dylan Greta.

All I knew about him was that his mother was a single human woman who left her abusive husband and changed her four kids’ surname to hers. I respected her.

Dylan was also a bright kid and at one point, my rival for the award. It’s possible he had feelings for me, but since he never spoke about them, I deemed him a friend.

“Oh, right. Did you get the news too?” Dylan snapped me from my thoughts. “The internship news.”

I remembered, my fingers snapped. “Yeah, yeah. At Diamond Group of Companies, right? I still haven’t applied but I will now. Thanks for the reminder.”

He nodded as he jogged off to join his family in taking a group photo. I watched as his mother held unto her kids with pride. The abuse she suffered must be replaying in her head at that point and she’d be grateful for how far she came.

I looked away as my fists clenched. “One day, I’d look back at this day I was rejected, with a proud smirk.”

“Aida!” someone shouted behind me.

“And here comes my own family.” I smiled, turning. It was Mia and my mother, the most important people in the world to me, if not the only people in my life.

The last Alpha was currently at a vacation in Asia for three years now. It was a retirement gift but I have to say it’s taken so long that I’ve begun to worry.

He had lost his mate on the day my father died at a clash with another pack. I hoped he was having fun wherever he was.

My mother handed me the award that I had dropped when I was pulled my Alpha Red. I held unto it proudly, like it was a baby I nurtured during my four years at university. It was.

“I hope you’re okay, baby?” my mother touched my face.

I held her warm hands and nodded. “I’ve settled it with him so I’m fine.” I didn’t wait for her to ask further so pulled she and Mia towards a photographer. “Let’s take some pictures.”

Today should be the happiest day of my life, I wouldn’t let any foul Alpha take that happiness away from me. No matter if it was my mate.

We took many pictures and Mia even got herself an admirer that asked for her number, amongst the graduates. She was so flushed that she nearly ran away from him.

I drank down the wine in my glass and raised the glass for another. Mia poured in and chuckled. “Don’t get drunk, Miss Best in Business Management.” As if werewolves got drunk.

By evening, I called a cab for Mia and my mother and watched them leave for the pack. My smile fell off as they were gone. All the problems hanging on my head returned.

“Ah, right. I should apply for that internship. I’ve good chances of being accepted with my current status.” I hurried to my apartment, I recently rented after graduating.

Diamond Group of Companies owned the most popular car brand in North America. There were also respected world wide. There was a myth that if you searched well enough, you’d find a piece of diamonds in their car, hidden somehow.

They recently had a scandal as their oldest son slept with a Korean Popstar while dating an American Actress. It was then that internship for young graduates hosted by Diamond Group of Companies started spreading, to drown the scandal.

I slammed my laptop shut after sending my application to the Diamond Group. “Tomorrow will come with better things.” I told myself. “It has to. At least, for compensation of today.”
