“What do you mean?”
“She didn’t reject me right away,”
“So, what? She played you?”
“Pretty much. We met at a club for werewolves, and I swear, her beauty sucked my soul right out of my body. We went to a nearby motel by the club and did the deed. We talked a bit, but I was too drunk to remember what we talked about. I know I told her I was a guard here at Golden Moon, but I honestly don’t remember her name. We f****d for hours, and I swear, I was in love. But, when I woke up the next morning, I was alone, and in her place was a note,” “What did it say?”
“She said that she didn’t want an Omega as a mate and that what we did would never happen again. She wrote her rejection on paper, but never once put her name, so it wasn’t a true rejection,” “What happened to her?”
“Honestly?” Brent nodded his head. “I know for a fact that she cheated on me, at least twice, but about a month ago, I felt something even more painful than her cheating,”
“What could be more painful than that?”
“Her dying,”
“Oh…I’m sorry,”
“It’s okay, it just wasn’t meant to be I guess,” we stood there in silence for a minute, and then finally did our rounds again. Brent was a quick learner and I felt that he would make a great guard for our pack. As we were coming back around to our original spot, the Gamma came up to us.
“Chad, the Alpha wants to see you,”
“Gamma, I’m on duty, and Brent is in training,”
“Don’t worry, I’ll take your place while you go see him. He said it’s important,”
“Sir,” I nodded my head to Brent and excused myself. I made my way to the Alpha’s study where there were a few other guards outside of his door.
“Hey Chad, you too?”
“Yeah,” I replied looking at the four others. “What’s going on Maverick?” I asked our head guard.
“No clue, but the Alpha has been calling in guards a few at a time for the last few weeks. I think we’re the last of them,”
“Have you noticed he only called in the ones that are single and unmated?” Travis asked. We looked at each other and sure enough, none of us had mates. I was about to say something when the door opened and there stood the Beta. “Sir!” we all saluted.
“Gentlemen, please come in,” he opened the door for us, and we all bowed our heads to Alpha Richard.
“Richard, these are the last of the unmated guards,” the Beta said to him.
“Gentlemen, I have some information from another Alpha that required my attention but getting to the bottom of said information was quite taxing. Hopefully one of you will be able to give me the answer I need,” “Alpha, we are at your disposal,” Maverick said bowing his head.
“Have either one of you by chance met your mate within the last year but was rejected?” this question caught me way off guard, but all of the others shook their heads. Why did he need to know this?
“No, sir,” Travis answered.
“No, Alpha,” Maverick responded.
“Not me,” Demetrius replied.
“Nope,” Simon said shaking his head.
“Chad?” they all looked at me. I didn’t answer and just stood there blinking.
“Chad?” The Beta waved his hand in my face.
“Huh? Sir?”
“Did you meet your mate and get rejected within the last year?” the Beta asked.
“Ummm…Kind of?” I replied.
“All of you are dismissed, except for Chad,” the Alpha said. The others look at me with pity. They bowed their heads and left. When the door closed, the Alpha had me sit down across from his desk. “Alpha, is there something wrong?” I asked him.
“Chad, what do you know about the mate that rejected you?”
“With all due respect sir, but why do you want to know?”
“Humor me,”
“We met at a club for our kind, we mated, she left me, saying that she didn’t want an Omega as a mate, but didn’t actually reject me,”
“Tell me, do you know if she is alive or dead?” I looked at him quizzically. “It’s important that you tell me,”
“She’s dead, Alpha. She died a few weeks ago from what I can tell,” I replied and hung my head.
“Chad,” I looked up at him. “Was this her?” he shows me a photo on his phone. I grabbed his phone and then looked at him with wide eyes. “I’m going to take that as a yes,” “Alpha, how…”
“Chad, there’s something you need to know.”
