C6 Racing Heart

Octavia POV

We entered the office, and he went to sit on his big brown chair while I sat in front of him. I nervously fiddle with my fingers. What could he possibly want to say? Or maybe he just doesn't want me as his mate? Or he wants to reject me? Or does he want to take another woman as Luna because I have no wolf? Oh, moon goddess, help me from his rejection. I would die if I am rejected again. I could feel my heart beating fast, and I tried to calm it down.

"Octavia," he called my name, cutting me out of my thoughts; I flinched, looking up.

"I'm sorry for startling you, but I have been calling your name with no response. Don't get too bothered; we just want to discuss," he said.

"O...okay," I said lowly.

"Okay, first, you have to tell me why you are a rogue," he said, with a serious look on his face.

"It's really a long story," I said. I am not scared of talking about my past, but it is not something I like to discuss. I don't even know where to start.

"I got time," he said, resting on his chair and crossing his arms.

"Okay, it started when I was younger; our pack was ambushed when I played with my best friend, Samantha. We quickly ran to the emergency basement. But I noticed Samantha was not with me, so I went back to get her; along the line, my dad came to our rescue and told us to run to the basement quickly. Samantha ran, but I stayed because I was scared; dad might need help. He told me to run and I did but I was attacked and the man wanted to kill me but dad stepped in and took the strike. He bled out and died. I was really sad and something happened, but I passed out immediately. I did not know what happened, but after mom died from losing her mate, the pack always accused me of killing their sons and warriors. I still don't know what happened that day exactly, but I was accused of killing them with a strange power," I said and he nods his head.

"The pack started giving me chores to do, and sometimes, they gave me chores too big for a small child. The bullying started with the pack teenagers, including my friend Samantha. The parents never told them to stop; they all neglected and bullied me. Then the moms joined, beating me for unreasonable things. I never shift, and everyone says the moon goddess is punishing me for my offense. I also had a mate, he...."

"Wait, you had a mate?" he asked, cutting me off.

"Yes, I did; he was the Alpha's son. He was part of my tormentors, and when he found out he was my mate on his birthday, he rejected me and forced me to accept the rejection. Nobody except Samantha knows he is my mate because he lied to everyone on his birthday that Samantha was his mate."

"Wait, you mean to say he rejected you, forced you to accept the rejection and took your best friend as his mate?" he asked, with a dark look in his eyes.

"Yes," I replied. He clenched his jaw, and his blue eyes became darker. But I went on with my life story.

"After taking her as his mate, I thought he might one day still accept me, but he didn't; instead, he continually told pack members to beat me up. After Samantha got pregnant, I decided I didn't want to be a part of the pack again, so I went rogue," I said, breathing out.

"What is the name of the pack?" He asked.

"Light Beam Pack," I said. He scrunched his eyebrows in thought.

"Never had of it," he said.

"It's a small pack," I explained.

"So are you going to reject me, too?" I asked meekly. I hope he doesn't.

"I assure you nothing of that. Now let me take you to your room. I am not sure you want to stay with me in my room, so you will have yours until you are comfortable sleeping in my room," he said. That was very thoughtful of him; I really want to know him more before jumping into anything. We left the office. He walked a little down the hallway while I walked behind him.

"This is the Alpha bedroom; this is where I sleep," he said, pointing to a door. I nod my head.

"This is going to be your temporary room," he said, opening up the room. But what I saw scared the hell out of me.

"Arg!!!"
