Rejected And Marked By The Ruthless Alpha

CASSANDRA.

“Are you seriously going to attend the Alpha Prince's birthday? I thought you said you had probably gotten over him.” My friend Beatrice said.

Today is Alpha Draco's birthday and because he has been existing with no Luna by his side, he can't take the throne despite the Alpha blood running in his veins. I had developed a crush on him since the first time, the hoodie he gave me to wear that day is still hung up inside my wardrobe, neatly folded and untouched.

I had planned to return it to him at first but then I decided against it. He would probably not remember a weak omega like me.

Alpha Draco began to rise faster into power which actually made me feel deeply in love with him. He is handsome, cruel, and manipulative, as the rumour said, but I don't believe any of it.

“I am not planning to go because I want to seduce him or something,” I replied to Beatrice.

I am not even sure if I really mean what I said. I loved him and I don't think I will be able to bear seeing him with any girl other than me.

“Almost everyone in the city is attending so why stay at home. And Father already made sure Jake accompanied me for safety. He is right outside waiting for us.” I tried on different dresses until I found the blue one.

“Okay, if you say so then there is no reason for me not to go with you,” Beatrice said and put on her heels because she had already picked a dress to wear.

“I think I am going to wear this," I told Beatrice and her eyes lit up with admiration. She actually loved the dress just the way I do.

“And it definitely complements the colour of your eyes. You are going to catch the eye of many tonight.” Beatrice said and we both dressed up.

When we were done, Jake was the one who drove us to the party after informing Father that I was with him. The party is said to be held at the Moroc Hotel Suite, which is one of the hotels that belonged to Alpha Draco.

The moment I walked in, my insides tightened. I should have known better that he was already here. I couldn't hold back my curiosity just like anyone else and my eyes shot up, trailing over the man dressed in a black tailored tuxedo suit.

My lips parted but no words came out. I drank in his appearance and my heart skipped a beat, goosebumps travelling all over my skin.

“Please welcome Alpha Draco to our midst.” The MC said and everyone began to clap their hands.

“This is the first time I will be seeing him up close. He is so handsome.” Beatrice said beside me and her voice drew me back to the present.

The music began to play and everyone picked their partners. He sat in the VIP section and I could see his girlfriend beside him.

“As you said earlier, Beatrice, I don't know why I came here,” I said and heaved a sigh.

There is no point in loving him when I am nothing but a weak omega. He is the first in the hierarchy, an Alpha and our status is not something that can just be overlooked.

I know I should forget about him but my heart is just too crazy and I only find myself falling for him more.

“What?” Beatrice said aloud over the music blazing over the speaker.

“Do you want to dance with me?” Beatrice asked but I am not in the mood. Not after I saw my crush with another woman.

“No, I will just sit over there,” I said, pointing to an empty seat.

“And no alcohol Cassandra. You can't drink when I am not with you.” Beatrice warned and I nodded.

“Trust me, I won't,” I told her and she waved at me to just go.

I sat down, looking at everyone dancing. I owned a jewellery store that brought me a lot of profit daily. Father made sure I attended school and came out with good grades. And though I refused to work with him at the company, he allowed me to build my own business which is something I am grateful for.

In two months, I will be 19 but I have no mate. I was approached by males but I knew better that waiting for my mate might actually be the best option. He will love me despite my status because of the bond.

I brought out my phone from my purse and sent Beatrice a text. I would like to take a tour around. Don't look for me. I will be back.” I sent Beatrice the text and put the phone back inside my purse.

Standing up, I make my way up the stairs to take a look around. I continue to work endlessly until I bump into a wall

No.

️

Not a wall because there is no way a wall could be in the corridor.

“I have been looking for you.” I heard the not-so-familiar voice and my eyes shot up instantly.

My blood ran cold when my blue orbs met with his darkest one. I didn't butt into a wall. It was Alpha Draco. He is standing in front of me in the flesh.

“Where have you been?” He asked, his voice a little bit slurred and I could smell the alcohol on him.

He is drunk and I think he mistook me for someone else.

Butterflies flapped their wings in my stomach when he suddenly touched my cheeks.

“Alpha Draco. I…”

My head began to turn fuzzy when I breathed in his expensive cologne. My fangs ache and my hand….

No. There is no way this is happening right now.

There is no way I will be having my first shift when I am not a wolf.

“Alpha….” My voice trailed off when I felt Alpha Draco's lips on me, his hand wrapped around my waist and my breast pressed against his chest.

There is no way.

There is no way I am hallucinating this and why is my body suddenly on fire?

And then, I heard it. It was my wolf speaking to me.

“MATE," and goosebumps travelled down my skin.

My eyes widened when I realised it was actually the word I had been yearning to hear all this time.

“MATE, " My wolf said again and I felt Alpha Draco's tongue entangle with mine.

“MINE.” He whispered and I fluttered my eyes open to see that we were already inside the room.

Maybe I was supposed to run out because he was already undoing the button of his shirt but I didn't move an inch.

I dropped my purse and he whispered again. “MINE”

He recognised me. Despite the fact that he is drunk, he recognised me.

He recognised me as his Mate.

He is my Fated Mate.

Before I could question him, I felt his hand on my leg while his arm lay on my back. He swept me off my feet and pushed the door open with his leg.

He placed me gently on the bed and kissed my neck softly. All rational thought disappeared from my head and all I could think of was the way his lips nibbled gently on my neck. The way he sucked on it was like some sweet wine.

My nipples hardened and I moaned out, unable to keep the sudden pleasure that invaded my whole body. I know what my body wants. As long as he is my Fated mate, I am ready to let him take me.

“Alpha. I…” He shut my lips with his mouth and his tongue delved in, sucking my tongue and the pleasure that exploded through my body, shocking me to my bones. When he pulled the dress off my shoulder, I knew there was no way I could turn back time.

“Alpha, please.” was the only word I could utter before I felt his mouth on my nipple.

“Ahh," I moaned out in pleasure.

No man has ever touched me this way. No man except him. His teeth graze my nipple and I turn to a moaning mess.

“Please.” I plead, my hand fisted around his long curly hair.
