The Alpha's Rejected Silent Mate

Chapter 40

Kai POV

It’s midday and I’m sitting at my desk, frowning as I look over at my warriors’ pathetic training. My hand unconsciously touches the scars I have on my face, dark gashes from being attacked by a rogue when I was just a

little boy, who didn’t have his wolf. A knock on the door had me swivel my head around. I’m anything but pleased by

the interruption.

“Come in” I said gruffly, thinking it might be my Beta Langdon, but it’s not. It’s Candice. I should have known,

she absolutely reeks of perfume.

She sashays in, a smile on that perfect face of hers. The dress she’s wearing leaves nothing to the imagination, just the way I like it. Her raven black hair is loose over her shoulders and her green eyes are narrowed in

determination. She’s been my girlfriend for several months. I know what you’re thinking, most wolves wait for their

mates but I’m 25 years old and I haven’t met one yet, or at least one that’s willing to accept me.

I knew the girl. She was in some of my classes at school. A quiet type, with the most beautiful blonde hair and

big blue eyes. She was such a dainty little thing, engrossed in her book when I approached. She doesn’t even register

I’m there.

The closer I get, the more disturbed the girl, Elena looks, her eyes finally meeting mine as she whispers ‘mate’

out loud. My wolf and I are ecstatic, joyous. Ready to celebrate. I’d never imagined I would find my mate so quickly.

She stands up and tucks her hair behind her ear and she looks serious, grim, rather than happy like I am. Something is very wrong. My wolf can sense it as well.

I reach out to touch her hand and she flinches as I frown. I was definitely feeling the mate bond, wasn’t 1? Then

why was she so unaffected? Instead, it’s like she’s avoiding my eyes.
