Prologue.
"Ouch!!"
I heard a yelp and a thud but I was too freaking angry and annoyed to care and I ended up projecting my anger and annoyance onto the poor unsuspecting soul who was unfortunate enough to bump into me tonight.
"URGH!!, WATCH WHERE YOU'RE f*****g GOING, b***h!!"
I growl as I look down at my mate who was standing up and brushing some dirt and foliage away from her pants.
"ARE YOU BLIND OR SOMETHING? WHY WEREN'T YOU WATCHING WHERE YOU WERE GOING?"
I once again growl at my mate who flinched from the impact of my growl and my heart which would normally be pained from seeing how scared she is of me felt nothing, absolutely nothing.
What the f**k is going on with me tonight?.
I think to myself as I rub my eyes with the palms of my hands and shake my head.
"I..I'm s..sorry, I..I..I...wait, F..Frankie? wh..what are you d..doing here?"
"I'm drunk, that's my excuse"
I said and she rolled her eyes.
"Werewolves don't get drunk, Frankie, it's just not possible unless you drink an obscene amount of alcohol which I'm guessing from the smell of you, you've drunk a lot but not enough to get drunk"
"Urgh!!, you sound like a f*****g nerd"
I groan in annoyance.
"That's because I am one, idiot...a..are you ok?"
She asks sounding genuinely confused and worried.
"I don't know, I feel strange"
"Well, maybe you should lay off the alcohol"
"Hmm, maybe so"
I say with a sigh as I briefly look up at the beautiful night sky before looking down at my nervous mate with narrowed eyes.
"What are you doing out here so late, hmm? are you meeting one of your many lovers?"
I growl at her whilst looking into her beautiful brown eyes.
I had to tighten my hands into hard fists to try and control my anger which was threatening to break free and be unleashed on my poor unsuspecting mate.
Even though my mind was encouraging me to reject Rebecca and remain mateless so that I can continue to be a playboy and live with no restrictions, I still felt this uncontrollable rage course through my body at the mere thought of my mate being with another man.
"What? no, of course not"
"Then why the f**k are you out here roaming around the woods so late at night then if you're not meeting with one of your lovers?"
"Because I live out here, dumbass, my house is right over there"
She says as she points to something on her right side.
I look over to where she's pointing and I see a beautiful two-story house which is the only other source of light out here besides the moonlight which is providing us with some much-needed light in the deep dark woods.
"What are you doing here, Frankie? and why are you asking me if I'm meeting other guys out here? it's got nothing to do with you who I meet at my own house"
"Technically, it's my house, my family owns everything on this property and what you do and who you meet has got everything to do with me because I'm your maaa...member of your alpha family"
I say nearly revealing that we're mates.
"You may be a member of my alpha family but you're nothing to me, Frankie, you're just my best friend's brother, now if you've got nothing else to say to me I'm leaving, it's late and I wanna go to bed"
Rebecca says before turning around to leave.
She didn't get too far though because I asked her a question which I didn't give her a chance to answer because it was like I had diarrhoea of the mouth and couldn't control or stop the verbal garbage that was rapidly coming out of my mouth.
"Are you a virgin, Rebecca?...of course you're not, of course you're not"
I said with a chuckle as I scratched the back of my head.
"It's stupid of me to even ask you that question isn't it, Rebecca? because clearly, someone who is related to two w****s has to be one herself, right? I bet that's how you got all of your high grades in school, hmm because you're screwing our teachers"
I say with a growl as I stand closer to Rebecca until we were literally chest to chest and I could feel her body tremble against mine but not in a good way.
"Is that why you're the tops of all your classes, Becks? because you're screwing all of our teachers"
SMACK!!.
A loud smack was heard as it vibrated off the trees and through the forest but it wasn't the only sound that was heard, there was also the sound of a slight gasp as well.
I held my stinging cheek as I looked down at a confused Rebecca who was looking at her hand in pure shock.
"Rebecca..."
"You're my mate"
She cuts me off and I scoff.
"What? pfft, no I'm not"
"Yes you are, I felt the sparks"
She says as she looks up at me.
Rebecca then did something I wasn't expecting, she touched my face with the palm of her hand and gently caressed it causing tingly sparks to erupt everywhere she touched.
For a brief moment, I closed my eyes as I enjoyed her touch, as I enjoyed the sparks and tingles on my skin but then out of nowhere, rage hit me like a freight train and I saw red as I glared at her.
I roughly grabbed hold of her hand and pushed her away from me like she was nothing to me but poisonous vermin.
I continued to glare at her ignoring the look of shock, hurt, sadness and confusion on her beautiful face.
"Well, even if we are mates, we're not anymore"
"What do you mean?"
She asks with a shaky voice and I smirk evilly at her.
"What I mean is that I Franco Lucas Vasquez, son of alpha Cole and Luna Natalia Vasquez of the Dark Shadows pack and royal prince of all supernaturals, rejects you Rebecca Serena Taylor as my mate and future princess of all supernaturals, I don't need some wimpy, loser, w***e as my mate, I deserve someone who is wonderful and pure"
I growled at her.
I fully expected to hear my wolf give me an earful and chew my ass out calling me every nasty name in existence and threatening to cut me off and prevent me from shifting until I take back my rejection but he didn't, he remained silent which is incredibly odd because Lucious is a very vocal person and is never ever quiet.
I also expected to hear Rebecca crying as she begged and pleaded with me to take back my rejection and accept her but that also didn't happen.
Instead, I heard Rebecca's sweet yet pained voice as she looked at me with a stoic expression.
"You reject me?...ok, fine"
She said shocking me.
I honestly thought she'd fight me on this, why isn't she fighting me on this?.
"Fine?...what do you mean by fine? aren't you gonna fight me on this? aren't you gonna beg and plead for me to take back my rejection and accept you?"
I ask her feeling both hopeful and shocked.
Why is she doing this?.
I'm Frankie Vasquez for f***s sake, I'm every woman's dream, she should be on her knees right now begging me to accept her as my mate, not acting like this.
I was brought out of my inner conflict with my thoughts when I heard Rebecca scoff as she rolled her eyes.
"Why would I do that? you don't want me and I don't want a guy who clearly thinks so low of me despite not actually knowing me and I really don't want a guy who goes around collecting his w****s like they're Pokemon...I Rebecca Serena Taylor, accept your rejection, Franco Lucas Vasquez"
What the f**k?.
Rebecca accepted my rejection and I instantly fell to my knees clutching my chest feeling the worst pain I've ever felt.
