Mated To The Devils Son

"Are you okay?" Ariel's voice interrupted me as I quickly nodded my head.

I had been lost in my thoughts and didn't even realize I had arrived at school yet. Today is my birthday and the day I would get to meet my mate but I was feeling nervous about it.

"You're thinking about Asher aren't you?" She asked with a cocked brow as her grey eyes stared deeply into my soul.

It mostly amuses me on how quickly she could read my emotions but then she's my oldest friend after all and also the sister to Asher who happens to be my boyfriend.

"Maybe" I answered almost sottovoce.

"Snap out of it okay, today's your day and I'm not going to let some random dude ruin it for you, if he happens to be your mate so be it and if not then you're one lucky girl" she waved her arms in a dramatic way.

I really couldn't put down the fact that she hated Asher even though he was her biological brother but she claims he's a jerk. She got upset the moment she found out I loved him and almost killed me when she found out that I confessed my feelings to him and proposed a relationship. I guess love could really fuck me up sometimes.

"You do realize he's your brother right?" I teased with a smirk.

"Unfortunately, the moon goddess wasn't being fair" she pouted and I couldn't help but let out a smile as we both left the classroom for the cafeteria.

"I'll leave you to it, I really don't want to be around when he happens to be your mate and y'all do all of those icky stuff so we'll meet after school today and I'll take you on a treat since it's your birthday"

she gave me a small punch on my back before walking to the opposite direction as she wiggled her tiny backside in an attempt to make me laugh.

On walking to the cafeteria, different thoughts kept on roaming in my head and I couldn't stop the small smile from finding its way on my lips when I thought of how happy he would be with me. The only thing I might be concerned about is being the future Luna if we mated. Hell, I couldn't even face my class, not to mention talking to the whole pack.

My heart kept racing the closer I got to the cafeteria and I started to perceive a really strong smell, my inner wolf started to purr and jump in happiness and in no time my senses were intensified and my thoughts were clouded, all I could think of was meeting the person already.

I entered the room to meet Asher sitting on his usual desk, the smell grew stronger the closer I got to him and this day couldn't get any better for me to find out my mate is actually my boyfriend.

"Asher!" I squeaked in excitement as I wrapped my arms around him but he didn't respond like he used to nor did he hug me back.

I slowly pulled away from the hug in an attempt to figure out what was wrong.

"Asher, it's my birthday!" I smiled as I looked deep into his dark grey eyes, similar to those of Ariel.

"I know, happy birthday!" He coldly replied and I knew something was wrong.

I took a few steps back because I didn't want to be affected by his attitude. Perhaps he'll be happy when he knows I'm mated to him.

"I have good news," I said in enthusiasm but there wasn't still any emotion on his face as he stared at me with a blank expression.

"Let's save it for later" he abruptly said and pushed the tray of food on his desks as he stood up from his seat.

"Asher!" I yelled his name because I was getting anxious, at least I deserve to know what was the cause of his sudden behavior on my birthday.

Calling out his name worked because he stopped on his tracks as he tucked his hands in his pocket bringing out his manly figure which I still couldn't get out of my head.

I walked up to him and circled to meet his face, his chiseled jaws were clenched and there was disgust clearly written all over his face.

"You're acting weird Asher" I complained but he immediately scoffed.

"Maybe you're the one thinking weirdly" he responded with a smirk and I felt my heart breaking.

He has never spoken to me this way before so why now?

"I'm mated to you Asher"

"No, you're mated to yourself because I can never be with someone like you, I, Asher, hereby reject you as my mate" he said with lack of emotion.

I could feel the painful sting in my chest the moment he said those words and not only was I hurt but my wolf was wounded and traumatized. Never had I thought I would be easily rejected by someone I spent two whole years loving. His voice came out loud and other students were attracted to our discussion whereas most of them began to laugh at me already.

"Why are you saying all of these to me?" My voice broke as I stared at him in dismay.

"Because I clearly can't be your mate Lenora, I regretted ever accepting to be your boyfriend at first because I felt I needed to pity you."

"I've never loved you Lenora, I thought you'd be stronger since you were only fifteen but now you're seventeen and still the weakest wolf I've ever come across"

"You're literally the worst wolf in Serene high school, you're the weakest and you think I'll ever want you as a mate? Come to think of it, I'll be the next Alpha and I need a strong Luna not a weakling like you" he outrageously said and at this point I couldn't comprehend what was happening because it was happening too fast.

"I'm sorry" I apologized as I blinked my eyes rapidly in an attempt to stop the tears from flowing.

A part of me wished he would call it a joke and hug me tight but my hopes were shattered the moment he walked past me. I couldn't stop the tears from falling anymore as I ran out of the cafeteria with tons of students mocking and laughing at me.

I had a bad feeling about this day and my instincts were right because it's the worst birthday of my life. Screw the fact that I came from an important part of the pack where we get to meet our mates a year earlier, perhaps if I turned eighteen I wouldn't be this hurt.
