Rori-POV
The night before monday was horrible. Every single breath was being painful as the antisipation for the very next day kept me on my toes. Sleep didn't take over until four in the morning.
As soon as my alarm woke me up, my stomach was filled with crazy butterflies and i smelled something good around me.
No one was here at the moment but that sweet scent was all over me. It was on my clothe and on some parts of my bedroom. Chocking it up to nothing, i got ready for my day and walked downstairs only to be met by a glaring father and a sad mother.
Neither of them wished me a happy birthday or even spoke to me for all that matters. But as i made my way out, father made sure to remind me that a witch will be coming by in the next few days to fix me.
Even though, i silently took it, mom throws an ugly glare towards him, a glare i have never seen on her beautful small face and the same brown eyes that she shares with me.
It was obvious that i was causing another fight between them. With a silent sigh, i took my bag and left.
Harke meets me half way to school and that sweet scent hits me again. I pulled Harke close and sniffed him like a blood hound.
"What the hell are you doing?" He asked as he tried to get out of my grip.
"What is that smell?" I returned his question with one of my own.
"What smell?" He asked as he straightned out his shirt.
"It's a weird combination of cinimon and strawbeary..."
"I don't know why your sniffing me but i hate cinimon and i'm allergic to strawbeary so..."
I strached my forhead before shaking my arms out. Its probably nothing.
With Harke wishing me a happy birthday and that smell following me everywhere, it was driving me crazy. But my mystrey was solved as soon as i walked into school with Harke still by my side.
That smell was a hundred times stronger than it was earlier and it was pulling me towards the parking spots. Harke kept asking where i was going but i couldn't answer.
Across the parking lot, i finally saw him. The owner of that scent. The wolf i am ment to be with. My mate. My best friend, Adalwolf leaning on the side of his car next to his friend Brandon.
"Mate?"
I whispered and Harke followed my gaze and landed on his brother.
"Holly shit." I heard him gasp and Adlawolfs' gaze snapped right to me. I can see his eyes go wide and he stood up right as he stared at me.
"Mate." He growled in a voice that cracked across the lot like tunder. His voice traveled the distance and sent a chill runing up and down my entire body. This couldn't have been more perfect. He is my mate. The boy that has always protected me, the boy that would do anything to make me laugh, the boy that had to pretended to be a bully to keep me safe...is my mate.
Words can not explain how happy i am. I took one step forward as excitment ran crazy all over me. At this point everyone had stopped to stare at us. Some were silently watching, some were whispering and some even had their phones out to film this moment.
My Adal is my mate. Thank you, Moon goddess.
My smile quickly breaks off my face as i saw him frown. Soon, he shook his head violently like he was disappointed to be my mate. His eyes were blazzing gold and i know his wolf was about to take over.
He looked mad, upset, hurt and most of all, disgusted.
"Are you kidding me?" He growled and i froze right on the spot. What is he doing? Why is he not happy? Is he pretending to hate me because of our usual act?
"A human?" He laughed as he shook his head again. The people around us started to join in and it sliced right through my heart. He doesn't look like he's pretending to hate me, it feels like he actually does.
"Adal..." i whispered but my voice died in my throat when he glared at me and a lone tear escapes from my eyes.
Hurt is not the word to describe how i felt at that very moment. It was as if he was cutting me open and ripping me apart from inside out.
"What the hell is wrong with you, Asshole. She's your mate. What does it matter if she's human."
Harke yelled over to his brothsr from beside me. Harke gained Adalwolfs' attention and that was when i decided to break free.
Their laughter and curse followed me as i ran out of the parking lot. I might not have a wolf but that pain, it was unbearable. There was somthing inside of me that was stirring to life only to die down as i ran further away from school. I heard Harke call out for me but thanks to his chubby legs, i was able to out run him.
Adal wouldn't do this. He wouldn't reject me. He wouldn't say hurtful words to me. He said it himself, time has changed and wolfs are mating with non-wolfs. He said any wolf would be lucky to have me. So why the sudden change of heart.
With the hopes of seeing him at our spot tonight, i ran home. It must be an act to keep me safe right? But it still didn't hurt less. I couldn't stop the tears that were running down my face as i walked in to my house and the first thing that greeted me was my father on the phone.
He stops me from going to my room with a single finger.
"The witch will come tomorrow. I expect you to be prepared."
Wow...he doesn't even bother to ask me why i was crying. All he could ever worry about was the beta title going to a Dash. Rumor has it that since i had no wolf, the beta title will be given to Brando sky, Adalwolfs' friend.
Adalwolf...the thought of him looking at me like i was the most disgusting creature he had ever incountered...
"What the f*ck is wrong with you?" I didn't mean to grace my father with an answer but something inside of me seemed to have snapped.
"Why are you like this? What the hell do you want from me? If you were that disappointed to have a daughter then why didn't you kill me the second you found out? Why let me leave to trash our families legacy? Why didn't you just end me now?"
Tears were constantly running down my cheeks as my mom rushed out of the kitchen "honey?" She called out in her sweet voice but i wasn't about to hear her defeand him.
"You hate me so much, don't you? Well don't worry DAD, because i hate you just as much. I might not have anything now or ever but i would rather die alone in a dark, cold night far away from here in the most visious way than ever call you my father again."
I rushed up to my room and slammed my door shut before sliding down against it and sobbing my heart out.
****
It was midnight when i woke up and found myself still curled up against my bedroom door on the floor. I slept the entire day and not a single person had come to check on me.
My phone buzzed in my pants and i pulled it out to see multip missed calls from Harke and a single text message from Adlawolf.
I sat upright and read out the text.
"Meet me at the pond at eleven."
I looked at the time again and sprang in action. It was an hour aga that i was supposed to see him but i hope he will still be there.
Leaving my phone behind, i rushed out of the house and ran towards the end of the border pond. As i got closer, i saw him leaning against an unfamiller car with his head bowed down.
I knew it. It was all an act. I should have never doubted him to leave or reject me...
The closer i got, i saw that he wasn't alone. Brandon, his friend and possibly his future beta was in the drivers seat. When they heard me coming, they both looked over to my direction.
"Adal..."
I smiled in hope but the coldness in his voice startled me.
"Your late." Is all he said before standing up straight to look at me. Still in his plain t-shirt and leather jacket, he looked more intimidating as a real frown graced his face.
"There is a bag in there..." he points with his thumb towards the car Brandon was sitting in "there is cash, food, clothes..."
"Where are we going?" I cut him off and he looked at me with an expression i couldn't read.
"We're not going anywhere. You are." My heart suddenly stopped beating as he continued. "Brandon will drive you to the next human town. You will finish school there, have a place among your people. I have already settled a place for you stay at and a bank book to wire you money..."
Fresh tears start to burn my eyes as i looked at him. He's sending me away. I couldn't listen to most of what he said but one thing is for sure, he was driving me out of town.
He made a move to walk away from me but i quickly held on to his arm.
"Why are you doing this? Adal, i'm your mate..."
"Not anymore. You need to leave. You don't belong here. Just leave and never comeback." He moves his arm away and turned around but i wrapped my arms around his waist.
"Adal please. I'm your mate. Don't do this." I sobbed against his muscular back.
"I don't want a weak mate."
"Then i'll be strong. I'll be better. Please..."
"I don't want a huamn mate."
"Father is going to bring a witch tomorrow tomorrow. I could be fixed so..."
He turns around and pulls me into his embrace. He held me like there was no yesterday and will never be a tomorrow.
"I, Adalwolf..." he strated again but i quickly shook my head.
"Please don't do this adal please..."
He slid his long fingers through my blond hair and held me thighter.
"I, Adalwolf Czar, future alpha of Rage wolf pack, reject you Rori Dash as my mate."
And with those words, he ripped himself away from me and left. My knees shook as they gave out and i slammed on the cold ground. Its not even five minutes later when Brandon came out to pick me up and help me to the passangler seat.
"I don't want to go." I whispered.
"You don't have anything left here Rori. No friends that will fight for you. No mate to protect you. Or parents who care about you. It's better to just start fresh.
***
My head felt heavy as we drove further away from the pack. I sniffled and caught Brandon giving me a side glance. We have been silent for over an hour before it was broken.
"He means well. He's just confused. He thinks this is the only way to keep you..."
Our car suddenly flips as if it was hit by an invisible force. The car flips a couple more times before it sends me out the windshild. I should have had my seat belts on. A scream rips out of my throat as I crash hard on the ground and i felt my right leg bend in an awkward angle.
Worm liquid flows down my face and the foul smell of blood reaches my nose.
I looked over to the car. It was upside down and Brandon was struggling to get his seatbelt off. From the distance i am, i can see that his face was painted red.
I tried to get up to help him but as soon as i tried to move, pain shot up and down my body. At this very moment, i recalled the fight i had with my father. It looks like we're both getting our wishes.
My vision darkened and the last thing i saw was large shadows imerging from the thick woods and every thing went dark.
