Rejected By An Alpha, Wanted By A Vampire

" A Mistake"

I made a mistake, a very big one. Panic flooded through me as I stared up at the vampire, there was no doubt that he had swallowed down the content of the cup. It might have been my imagination but I swore I saw his eyes dilate as he watched me. There was...was that lust? No no no

Everyone in the room was staring at me as if I had gone crazy, this was a result of my yelling out earlier.

" Calm down Lisa" Suzy looked uncertain herself but she still did her best to make sure I didn't have a panic attack. " There's a good chance that it won't work on vampires. You can see there are no changes in his expression"

" You think so?"

" I..well yes. But it best that we don't try feeding Damien the potion for now, maybe some other time?"

" You're right" there was no way my heart could bear the risk of something like this happening again. " I wish to retire home"

Suzy nodded in understanding, she bid me good night before turning around to leave. As I made to do the same I was stopped when a hand grabbed my arm.

" What the hell was that Lisa? Why were you yelling?"

" I...it was nothing. I thought I saw a bug"

Damien narrowed his eyes down at me, it was obvious he didn't believe what I said. " You always make such a scene. Maybe you should retire home now"

" You're sending me away?" Though I was just about to leave anyways I was still hurt by the fact that Damien was asking me to leave. Was he irritated by the yelling? He hadn't even bothered to find out if something was wrong and yet he was angry at me. To him and his family, I will always be something they needed to keep in check. Damien didn't love me, not like he used to anyways. I would do anything for him but my feelings would never be reciprocated. He looked down on me so much that he would fluent his various mistresses in my face. I was so angry that I pulled my arm away from me. " You know what f**k you! I was just going to leave anyways"

Damien didn't make to chase me even as I turned around and walked away. He was probably happy I was gone, now he could go back to his new blond pet. Tears blurred my vision as I made my way out of the packhouse where Lucille's reception was being held. I took the path that led into the woods, I didn't want to go home just yet as that would result in my parents making inquiries on why I had returned so early.

My father was a Beta and my mother was a human. In my pack, it was considered an abomination for a werewolf to take in a human as a mate. The only reason my father had been allowed to remain in the pack was that he had served as the right hand of the Alpha for many years. He had been relieved of his post when he mated with my mother, now he was one of the lowest-ranking werewolves in the Pack. It was no wonder he had been so excited when I was chosen as Luna for Damien, he thought it was a way to redeem his name.

Sometimes I think that the only reason I was chosen for Damien was result of my docile nature. In normal cases, a Luna had equal power as her Alpha, but in my case, I would be very easy to manipulate. It was no wonder Damien cheated on me every chance he got and no one seemed to care.

I leaned against a tree, I allowed my tears to flow down my face. I was far into the forest where no one would scent my distress and tears, this was the place I normally came to when I need some privacy when I wanted to cry my eyes out and remorse on how pitiful my life was. I was pathetic, it was no wonder I would scoop to such a low method as to acquire a love potion in hopes of my alpha loving me.

" The woods are no place for a woman" I was startled by the voice that spoke in front of me. I looked up in shock only to see the vampire prince standing in front of me. How had he gotten here? I didn't even hear his footsteps. He tilted his head slightly to give me a thorough look. " You've been crying, why?"

I don't see why I should be telling him. I didn't know anything about this guy, and for all, I know although vampires and werewolves were on peaceful terms with each other it didn't mean that they were a likeness between us. I had heard once that vampires still considered wolves to be below them, that would explain how distant and arrogant the vampires in the party had been acting.

" I...I don't see a reason why I should tell you" I wipe myself quickly to rid them of tears. I felt irritated that I had been caught in my moment of weakness. " And just so you know the woods is our home. All Werewolves belong here "

" But you are not a full werewolf are you?" How did he..? " I can smell it on you"

I huff. I really shouldn't be mean to him. Not after what I had done, I should be thanking the mon goddess that the potion didn't work on him. Or maybe the potion wouldn't have worked on Damien either.

" Don't I smell like dirt to you?" I remembered Suzy mentioning something like that, To vampires Werewolves smelt a lot like mud and trash. Maybe that was the reason why they were repulsed by them

" No, you don't " He took a step towards me and then another, I was already backed up against a tree so I couldn't move. Even if I could I didn't think I would have, there was something about his eyes dark eyes, I could swear I saw a hint of scarlet flashing in those dark pools. It was hard to pull away. I didn't flinch when he stood in front of me not when he leaned down and brushed his nose against the side of my neck. " You smell nice"

" You won't bite me right?"

" No, but it's tempting"

" I...is this because of the drink?" Surely the potion couldn't have worked right? But what other reason would he have for being so close to me, almost intimately?

" The what?" The look gave me made me realize that he had no idea what I was saying.

" I...I should go" It is a silent plea from me for him to move away. To take a step back so I can breathe air that wasn't filled with the scent of him. He doesn't obey, however, doesn't take the hint. He places a hand under my chin, his palm is extremely cold against my warm skin. He stares down into my brown eyes before leaning down to brush his lips against the tip of his nose.

" I want you" he blurts out rather shamelessly. I find myself more embarrassed than angry. No man had ever declared that to me before. Apart from Damien who only ever stooped to touching me only when he was drunk and none of his mistresses were around to satisfy him, even then he never went all the way, only ever asking for me to bring him to completion. I had fooled myself into thinking that he was only being considerate, that he wanted me to keep my honor until we are married. But all that was just my wishful thinking. Damien never went all the way because he didn't want to. He probably didn't even find me attractive.

But here was there most gorgeous man I had ever laid eyes on telling me he desired me, it might be only as a result of the potion but it didn't stop me from feeling a tinge of pride.

" I am betrothed to someone else. I can't "

" That little puppy of yours huh?" His lips tilted up in an amused smirk. " He isn't good enough for you, my love" the title caused a shiver down my spine. " Besides, I saw him with someone else. Are you going to remain faithful to a person who doesn't deserve it?"

" What would you know" I hissed angrily " The only reason you are even talking to me is as a result of that stupid potion! "

" You are strange," he says " I do not understand your words, and your emotions are very fickle"

" I will NOT sleep with you" with emphasis on the not. " I am not that sort of person"

" Hm, I believe everything would work out for the best, my love" His eyes brightens as he peers down at me. There was a gust of wind which caused my eyes to flicker close for a moment, when I opened them I was surprised to find no one standing in front of me. How the hell did he do that?

I didn't want to risk another encounter with someone else so I turned around and hurried my way home. Whatever happened just now, I hoped with all my heart it was just some wilt fantasy my brain came up with.
