Why don't you just reject me?

“We should get back to work. We have just one hour for our break.” Cheryl told me.

 

I nodded and stood up.

 

“I also have some unfinished work that I have to attend to. Better get it done of I don’t want my ass whooped by our boss.” I mumbled making Cheryl giggle.

 

“Ass whooped.” She chuckled. “If I didn’t know that you have found your mate, I would have thought that you might catch his eyes.” She smiled at me, but all I could do was scoff.

 

“I mean, you are really pretty and our alpha has a weakness for pretty girls.” She stated.

 

“Maybe you haven’t realised that he only gets with the ranked wolves. I come from a low ranked home. Which literally means that I’m rankless.” I told her.

 

“non c’è modo! Don’t speak nonsense, Bella! You are hot and beautiful. Any male would have fallen for you. You have this charm... I don’t know how to explain.” She uttered and looked at me as we walked out of the café.

 

“You know what? You deserve better than a cheating mate. You are strong and mature. You are intelligent. Don’t let this asshole of a mate make you question your worth.” She said, making me feel a thousand times better. I didn’t realise that I needed to hear those words from someone but she had done exactly what I needed.

 

I hugged her as we approached the entrance of our office.

 

“Thank you, Cheryl. You don’t know how much those words mean to me.” I told her.

 

“Anytime honey. I know that you would do the same for me.” She replied as she patted on my back.

 

“Of course I will.” I agreed firmly and bid her goodbye as we both went on our separate ways.

 

The lunch break was truly a breath of fresh air. I returned to work feeling refreshed and energised. Cheryl was right. Having some food and some chit chat did prove too good for me. Not to mention the motivation she had filled me with. She had no idea that my mate was our boss and alpha. But that didn’t matter. When the time came for me to tell who my mate was, she would be among the first ones that I do.

 

I walked up to the cabin, humming happily, motivated to finish the rest of my work. But as soon as I reached my office, I was welcomed by what I didn’t need at the moment. The alluring scent of sandalwood lingering in the air only meant that he was most probably in there.

 

I was right.

 

Alpha Michael was waiting for me in my cabin. He didn’t have to do that. I mean.....who does that? I thought the employees always had to attend to the employer. Not the other way round. I fought against the urge to roll my eyes and scoff when I saw him going through my work as he sat on my seat. I felt a great sense of repulsion when I saw him, seated at my desk as if it was his place.

 

Wait he did own this place. Sighing in exasperation I entered the cabin and waited for him to acknowledge my presence. However, as I waited, once again I remembered how he made me feel. How he disregarded our bond. How he referred to me as ‘nothing important' and once again I started to feel sore all over again.

 

I swallowed my hurt nonetheless and faced him with pride. I will show him, that I was not the weakling that he thought I was. I will show him how strong I was. And if I have to, I will prove to him that I don’t need a man to keep myself happy. At least not a man like him.

 

“I see you’ve done a pretty good job, mate.” He voiced, still going through the papers that I had been working on.

 

I scoffed. Mate? He had the audacity to call me mate after refusing to acknowledge me in front of that slut? I chose to ignore him. What a pimp!

 

“I must say, you are pretty intelligent for a rank less wolf.” He glanced at me. I felt uneasy as his gaze rested on me for longer than a little while.

 

What does he think of us? Just because we were born into a lower ranked family, does that mean that we are dumb? Or just less than any normal wolf? This time, I didn’t stop myself from scowling at him. What does he think of himself? Just because he was alpha, that doesn’t mean he had the right to be disrespectful.

 

He narrowed his eyes at me. I guess me scowling at him was something he didn’t like at all.
