《The Rejected Mate》03 - Let's Make A Deal
Advertisement
We went out of the car and the three guided me towards the mansion. I can smell his scent and I immediately determined that he was near. Unconsciously my wolf felt excited. No matter what happened she still recognized him as her mate. Even how much my brain protests , but I did everything to refrain myself and not get swayed by my wolf instinct.
"Ready?"-Trojan asked. I nod my head even what I'm feeling is the contrary. I'm actually seeing him after seven years and I have a lot of mix emotions. Curiosity about how he looked now , hatred with what he did to me , hurt of course and excitement , blame my wolf , it does affect my emotions. As Trojan opened the door the scent became stronger and my eyes fluttered smelling it. I almost fall. I haven't smell this addicting smell for a long time. And god it woke up different feels in me. As I forced my eyes open I was meet by those silver orbs I never seen for long. I stopped on my tracks and stared at him firmly.
He was the most gorgeous , hot and god-like when I left. And he became more than that now. I dont know if that was even possible. I can't deny the attraction I feel. But I must remind myself everytime , that , he hurt me. He is the one who make me feel like a crap. The last person I expected to reject me for my sister. I did accept my family to adore her more , the pack members to cherish her more , the moon goddess to bless her more , but I don't expect that even my mate would love her more.
"You three can take a rest now"-Archer commanded and Trojan , Cobalt and Mavic bowed their head and spare me a glance before they went out of the mansion. After the door shut Archer brought his gaze back at me.
"It's been a long time"-he said
"It is"-I responded turning my gaze away and roaming it around the place. The house is full of elegance , like a royalty living on it.
"How have you been these past seven years?"-he asked in a formal tone. Asking like he cared , but his tone said otherwise. And I don't want to have a small talk with him right now. I'm too exhausted and I might snapped on him.
"Spare the talk tomorrow , I'm tired , where's my room?"-I asked passing him by. But I stopped when he reached my wrist and stopped me.
"Does living with the humans lost your respect towards someone higher than you too?"-he asked annoyed.
"Nope. I just don't know what's your position , if you're to be respected or not"-I said in a calm voice making him growl.

"I am the Alpha of this pack"-he hissed
"And as far as I know , I am an important person especially requested to be here today.. Isn't it necessary for me to be respected even with the Alpha?"-I asked. He closed his eyes and breathed calming himself. I smirked , now he is annoyed with me. But he kept smelling me to calm himself too. How irony it is.
"Bitch."-he said anyways
"Jerk."-I answered and distanced myself from him , he groan in protest.
"What did you do for seven years? Did you mated with humans?"-he asked
"That's none of your concern"-I said making him throw me a glare.
"Are you going to show me my room or not?"-I asked. He calmed himself one more time.
"Follow me"-he said and turned his back leading the way to the second floor. Before I stepped on the first staircase , I looked at the corner of the hallways , where everything's dark. Someone's peeking in there and immediately hid when I glanced.
"What now? I thought you are already eager to see your room?"-Archer asked and he is almost halfway on the staircase.
"It's my decision if I want to hurry or not"-I said moving forward and he grimly walked forward too.
I stretched myself as I woke up in a comfortable bed. I looked at the bedside table and saw the clock says it already 10 A.M so basically I'm asleep for more than 9 hours. I went out the bed and went towards the bathroom to do my morning ritual. When I went out of the bathroom 20 minutes later , a maid was already inside the room waiting for me.
"The Alpha ordered to do your closet.. He said you should wear the clothes that are provided for you from now on"-the maid said
"Yeah fine , you can go now"-I said opening the closet , I saw the maid's face crumpled. I can sense she does not like me. Well , I don't like anyone here either , the feeling is mutual.
I run through the clothes and saw nothing but long dresses. Why do my sister has such a boring taste in clothes?
"Do I really need to put on this kinds of clothes? These ain't my style"-I said sashaying my hands in front of the closet.
"He said you should come down at the dining room as soon as you finish taking a bath"-the maid said ignoring my rant. I glare at her and she just turn her back and walked out of the room. I'll teach that maid a lesson someday. I'm not gonna be the nice Luna if that's what they expected. I picked a black sweetheart neck , spaghetti strapped dress I'll might trip in this kind of tight and long dresses. So what I did is I cut the dress until the top of my knee. I don't care it wasnt mine , so might as well ruin it. I slip on it and viola , just what I wanted. I combed and blower my hair until it dries and tied it on a messy bun before I went out of the room.

I walked through the hallways. Where's the way to the dining area again? I stopped to smell that addicting smell of peppermint and citrus. I followed the scent until it leads me into a door at the end of the hallways , I stood there for a while.
"I told you we don't need her!"- it's Allisa's voice , I am certain of it.
"Not this again honey , I already told you we needed her temporarily for our pack"- Archer
"You are a strong Alpha , you doesn't need her help for this. She might as well cause a trouble instead , do you know that?"- Allisa
"She won't , okay? I'll make sure of that , she will leave after helping us"- Archer
"And how sure are you that you won't have a trouble with your wolf and your feelings when she was around?"- Allisa
"That won't happen. We already did everything before and I am still able to refuse the bond and reject her. Its not gonna happen now , now that I already claimed you and we are already married and have a pup"
"Make sure of that Archer"
"I will honey , I love you , okay?"
"I love you too"
I rolled my eyes and turn back. What a morning drama. It made me sick. My twin already has everything , everyone's attention , everyone's love , but she is still threatened and insecure towards me. If she was afraid that I am going to steal her husband. Worry no more.
"Aveera"- I stopped on my tracks to hear the voice. I glanced at my back and saw Archer striding towards me. He was just wearing a black pants and a simple long sleeve shirt , but he looks dashing as ever. His hair was dishelved on his head. I also noticed his reddish plump lips , if I don't know better I would think that she was bitten by some mosquito . But I know something else , or perhaps someone else bit his lips. Isn't he afraid he might get his wife's disease?
"What are you wearing?"-he asked eyeing me from head to toe.
"I'm wearing a dress , can't you see?"-I asked
"I am not asking for your sarcasm. I told the maid to tell you what to wear right?"
"And you think I would wear those boring clothes my sister use to wear? No thanks , don't turn me into her. I have my own style"-I said and he growl at me.
"What a stubborn woman! Change your clothing now"-he said
"I am not gonna do that"-I said firmly. He took a deep breath calming himself from annoyance.
"Are you happy to flaunt your body like that in front of others?"-he asked
"I am a single woman , and if I want to flaunt my body , its not your concern. Listen here darling , I am not planning to act like another Allisa if that's what you think. We might share the same face , but I am Aveera , and not that boring , pretentious , bitch"-I said
"Don't call my wife a bitch"
"I can call her anything I want , since she is my sister and I know what kind of person she is"-I said. He grunt and looked away from me closing his eyes and massaging his temple. I'm glad to give him a headache. After a while of calming himself he stared back at me again.
"Can we at least talk without fighting? , Please?"-he asked
"I want a breakfast"-I said and walked but he catched my arm and pull me back , I scowl at him.
"That's not the way"-he said. I roll my eyes as he drag me on the right path.
I eat and eat and eat. I'm hungry as hell. The foods that the personal chef cooked were all almost done by now and to think how many menus are those. While Archer is just halfway of his first serving I already almost finish everything. I sighed in relief after drinking my juice.
"I'm afraid you'll die is overfeeding and we still haven't made a deal"-he said watching me. A glint of amusement in his eyes. I roll my eyes at him.
"Be thankful your chef cooks well. If not , I might have throw a tantrum since a while ago. Your warriors just gave me a sandwich for almost six hours of travelling after abducting me"-I said
"You really have a response to everything don't you?"-he asked
"I have , so don't think I'll back down from you"-I said
"Oh where's the sweet and soft Aveera that flips on me before?"-he asked. I glare at him.
"Don't search for someone you killed seven years ago , murderer"-I said in a deadly tone and he just watched me amused.
"Okay , so I guess I wouldn't have a trouble with you then and Allisa doesn't have to worry"-he said and turned into his business tone.
"Let's make a deal"

Campaign: A Project Starfarer Sidestory
This novel’s lore, story and characters are entirely fictitious. Certain long-standing countries, institutions, organizations, agencies, and public offices are mentioned, but their histories and the characters involved are wholly imaginary. "What will you do with your freedom?"Growing up in a meritocracy, infamous for being lawless, Jordan Astros had been repeatedly asked this question, since times unmemorable. In a society where one's accomplishments and skills were tallied and ranked in order to determine one's standard of living however, Jordan quickly grew to understand that 'freedom,' was a reward earned by accumulating Merit. And so, after his 17th birthday, Jordan departed his Clan's habitat in orbit of Europa to embark on his century-long journey to rise from E-Ranker to S-Rank. And spread his name throughout the Galilean Powers. *** Campaign is a sidestory within its NanoPunk parent series, Project Starfarer. (Yet to be published. Be on the lookout for it!) In which the first transhuman known to humanity, the Starfarer, invokes a plan to seed terrestrial life throughout the galaxy. Campaign takes place around the middle of that timeline and explores the life of a key figure in that universe, Jordan Astros. And explores one of four great nations thriving in the Solar System during that time. A Meritocracy that spans Jupiter and its 79 moons, The Galilean Powers. What you'll find in Campaign: Brutal melee combat in airless and pressurized low gravity environments. A technology based progression system influenced by merit and accomplishments; using tech that's theoretically possible to exist in the near-future. An exploratory perspective of the dozens of Galilean societies, or 'Powers,' from Jordans; and sometimes others', POV. What you wont find: Romance. Harems. An MC who receives shortcuts, handouts, learns things unnaturally fast or has OP plot armor. Jordan is not a special individual. Jordan is not OP and he likely never will be. He's no different than any other citizen in the Galilean Powers and will certainly face as many defeats as he does wins. He'll suffer losses and grow as an individual, while the Powers evolves around him as well. This is semi-hard sci-fi/NanoPunk and takes place in a fictional version of our future solar system. Centered around technology that's plausible in the near-centuries to come. Everything abides by the laws of physics/thermodynamics (As best that I understand them, at least. I'm no scientist.) No artificial gravity, inertial dampeners, teleportation, FTL, or hand-wavy materials will be found in the Project Starfarer universe. Just advanced automation, nanotechnology, cybernetics and AI. Set in the backdrop of space. *I do not own the photo used for the cover*
