Wolf University: Rejected by my Possessive Alpha Mate

Sophia's POV.

"I, Jacob Carter of the Blood Moon Pack, reject you, Sophia Addison of the Crescent Moon Pack, as my Luna-to-be," he announced with his full voice. I can hear loud gasps and whispers throughout the place. They cannot believe that their goody two shoes of a senior year president is making this claim in front of everybody. What goody two shoes? More like a two faced jerk!

I cannot believe they failed to see his facade all these years! For a second, I feel sorry for them, as they were deceived by this tall, dark, handsome, and well-built... Argh nevermind.

He had always been stoic and secretly arrogant that only I could notice. My poor schoolmates were too blinded by his beauty to see past his pretentious attitude. But there is no way he could have fooled me with those! Even if he was doing a damn great job maintaining his act.

"He is rejecting us! Mate doesn't want us, Sophia! What will we do!?" Lia, my wolf, hysterically panicked and sadly whimpered within me. She was deeply hurt, and I was too. Who wouldn't be? My destined mate rejected us. He made it clear he doesn't want anywhere near us.

Why is he suddenly being like this to us though? Rejecting and embarrassing a she-wolf in public! Not to mention, his very mate! How could he be less than his prestigious title!?! We are not close or anything but at the same time, I could not recall a moment where I could have offended him. He is just being simply absurd for no reason!

I blew out a sharp breath so that I would not burst out in anger. It could only make me look pathetic and weak. And that is the last thing I would want out of this grand and majestic plot of his.

"Calm down, Lia; we will not let that happen." I calmly soothe my wolf, unsure of myself if I can do anything to stop this mess. But I should still try.

"Luke is against this! He is fighting Jacob for control!" she whined. Luke is Jacob's wolf and a much more reasonable being than he is.

I can understand Lia's worries. He is even rejecting me in front of the school gym, at a podium, no less, where there are lots of students as witnesses. This psychopath! It's like he is turning the rejection into some sort of school play. That made Lia think that this rejection is quite serious, unlike any other rejections that we have only heard stories about, in which the she-wolf is rejected in private. Not like this! In public and in front of everyone!

Oh, and mind you, our parents are also here to see, and a couple of other wolves' parents as well, because it is literally the opening ceremony of the starting school year, which ended just a few minutes ago. He wanted to start our last year of school like this. A hot issue for the other students to gossip about.

If any of you might be wondering, we did the election of officers in our junior year so that they could prepare for their duties in advance, since some of them, like this stone face Jacob, are future Alphas and have lots of responsibilities for the pack aside from school duties.

Even nowadays, it is indeed no doubt, a much safer place to live, but there are still rogue wolves everywhere, and the issue with other cities needs time, effort, and attention to avoid an all-out war.

I clicked my tongue in annoyance, we should have just elected the officers this year. In that way, they would see this scene unfold in front of their very eyes! But I doubt they would change their minds, especially she-wolves who almost glorify him. They couldn’t be more than happier seeing their crush as available and single. Hmmm. That sounds unfair. We couldn’t just let them be happy, now could we?

I saw my older twin brothers growl, and my father was ready to attack Jacob, but Mom sneered to stop them. Well, only Luna can stop her Alpha and the twins. But I swear, even if I did not see it, Mom was grinning. Waiting for me to make my move.

"What the fuck are you doing?" I angrily whispered to him, full of concern for both of our wolves' feelings. He just stared at me with a blank face, showing no empathy for our wolves.

"Mom, can I smack him just once?" I asked Mom through our mindlink. And I heard her laugh through it. Mom was also once rejected by my dad. But that was when they were in primary school! This one's different, Mom! I annoyingly thought to myself because I knew mom would lay that on me.

"As much as I want to see that, baby, the answer is no. He is the future Alpha of one of the big three, after all," Mom defeated said in a teasing voice. She knows how to piss me off. Do not take it the wrong way, though; Mom and I are close like that. We love to tease and piss each other off, but at life-or-death moments, we are willing to sacrifice ourselves for our family.

"Does it hurt the Queen Bee's pride to let all her lemmings witness the rejection of her mate?" Jacob whispered and smirked. I can see him tightening up his jaw as if holding himself back from growling at me, since that could damage his reputation and popularity as well. I smiled sarcastically at him to aggravate him even further, as I was trying so hard to stop myself from slapping him.

"Don't slap, mate," Lia begged.

"That is why I am trying to stop myself." I sighed. Lia is right; I will be hurt more if I slap that annoyingly handsome face of his.

Future Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack, Sophia, please remember. I chanted as I held myself back again and again.

"Why would I be? You are also dirtying your precious popularity as well, Mr. Goody two shoes." I hissed back at him. He snarled, and in the next split second, the color of his eyes flickered as they changed from his usual daunting black to glistening gold.

"Lia." Luke was in control for a moment, and Lia scurried back and forth excitedly.

"Luke!" Lia's words escaped from my mouth, and for a moment he smiled, and the next split second his eyes reverted back to black. He sighed in annoyance, and I just knew he was fighting with Luke right now.

"Sophia Addison, your answer?" he spat. I could feel the people's anticipation, and I even saw his dad's hands on his face and massaging his head while his Luna comforted him and glared at Jacob's back.

"This boy will surely regret his decision sooner or later." I heard her mom whisper with my enhanced wolf hearing, unlike any other normal wolves. I smiled and smirked. Of course he will regret it, Aunt Mia.

"I, Sophia Addison of the Crescent Moon Pack, deny your rejection, Jacob Carter." I smiled triumphantly at him, and he just glared at me.

I looked away and turned my back on him, ready to go to where my family was, but as I was about to take a step, he grabbed my arm.

He wants to say something; I can feel it through our stupid special bond, but before he can breathe a word, my family jumps in front of me with my mother by my side and the twins in front of us, shielding us with their arms forward and dad at the forefront. At the same time, his parents immediately ran to him and grabbed his arm.

"Frank," Dad said in a warning tone.

"You may have been my best friend since we were little runts, but I cannot accept this humiliation," he sneered.

Uncle Frank just sighed and nodded in agreement.

"I know Daniel; for this, I am very sorry." He apologized and held Jacob's shoulders too tightly. I stared at his hand.

"I will be sure to punish and discipline him later," he sternly stated, and his grip on him became much tighter, causing the young Carter to wince in pain.

"NO!" I unconsciously yelled and whimpered.

"He is hurting mate!" Lia growled in my head, absolutely furious and ready to fight, even if it was one of the Alphas of the Big Three.

"Frank, be sensitive; the bond." Aunt Mia reminded Uncle Frank, and he loosened his grip on his son. I can finally breathe well again; this stupid bond is causing me pain whenever that jerk Carter is hurt. He looked at me, causing me to look away.

"Mom, let's go," I said to my mom, and she worryingly nodded.

"Mia! We will be going first! Let's hang out next time!" Mom shouted so that Aunt Mia could hear.

"It is indeed a pity, Anna, because this happened. I really am sorry. Let us see each other next week!" Aunt Mia shouted back and waved.

The two alphas just nodded to each other; I think they had some sort of agreement through the mindlink, and with a swift movement, all of us went our separate ways.

With no one else around that could see me and our windows tinted, I sobbed and cried like an annoying baby.

Sophia's POV.

"That prick!" Dad was about to get out of the car, but I stopped him.

"Dad, please, let's just go home for now," I pleaded. He glanced at me, debating what to do, and then he deflated and sighed.

"Only you and your mother can make me do things against my will, sweetie." He softly laughed, and Mom giggled, but soon her emotions changed like a switch.

"Of course! Who else would dare!?" Mom angrily huffed and glared at Dad.

"No one else, my Luna." Dad softly chuckled and tenderly looked at my mom and held her palm with his free hand while the other was holding the steering wheel.

"Hey, Dad! You forgot when we bought fast food! That was against your will!" Jayden childishly protested.

"That doesn't count, Jayden; stop embarrassing yourself with that face of mine!" Aidan sighed and tried to reach out to Jayden to smack him off, but to no avail.

"I can't help it, bro, we're twins!" Jayden smirked.

"Then please, in Goddess's name, at least stop telling people you're me!" Aidan facepalmed, as he was really pissed off.

"Where's the fun in that?" Jayden laughed. Mom and Dad just shook their heads and watched them bicker for minutes until their mouths grew tired. My two brothers are by my side, with me in the middle. That is why I am smashed with their bickering and petty fights almost all the time. This has been our seating place wherever we go, since all of them, especially my two twin older brothers, are annoyingly overprotective of me despite their bickering. Since they both surprisingly agree and understand one another when it comes to our family, with me.

I just watched from the window as the scenery changed from Woodhill University to the familiar sight of our pack's forest. My dad is the Alpha of our pack, and these two idiots are both the successors in the future once they find their mate and when they are all ready to inherit the pack. Since they are twins, they both have the same mate, and I can't wait to meet her so that their attention and all of their clinginess will finally fall on her. Oh Goddess, I pity her now, even though we haven't met her yet. These two will surely be more protective of her than me because of the mate bond. I let out small evil laughs, and they all looked at me; even Dad took a peek.

"Mom, Sophie's being so scary," Jayden blurted out while slowly backing away from me as if being truly scared. I frowned and told Mom.

"Jayden, stop teasing your little sister, or else I will really show you what scary is." Mom warned Jayden and threw her compressed powder at him.

"Yeah, right, Mom, and you are the one who always teases Sophie," Aidan remarked, and we all laughed because Aidan makes jokes with his serious face, and it is always hilarious, especially sometimes when he really means it and not as a joke. That innocent and stern expression of his never fails to make our day, which is why Jayden always teases and makes fun of his own twin brother. I felt relieved now that we were coming back to our pack as we all continued to laugh at Jayden's and Aidan's bickering, but not too long when someone threw sharp objects at the tires and we crashed into a big tree, totally destroying our ride. We were caught off guard when someone tried to pull Mom's hair. Dad immediately growled, and with no second to waste, he released his Alpha pheromones, which made the intruder instantly back out. Maybe it was just a lowly wolf since a simple pheromone made him back away at once.

At the same time, while Dad was busy protecting Mom, someone tried to pry open the roof of our car and was successful. It opened instantly and grabbed me by the hair, but Jayden and Aidan shifted to protect me. Jayden viciously bit the other intruder's hand that grabbed my hair, and Aidan ran outside to capture the one who grabbed Mom's hair since he was nearer than Dad, but that was after he held me down to prevent the intruder from pulling me up. All of it happened so fast; it's like a reflex. Jayden was able to rip off the arm of the one who attacked me, but it escaped. while Aidan triumphantly caught the one who pulled Mom's hair and rendered him unconscious. Oh, Goddess, this will be good. I was super ecstatic and can't wait to see what will unravel. I jumped out of the car and sat on the ripped-off roof, wiggling my legs.

Dad was truly infuriated as it attacked his precious Luna and released such strong pheromones that the intruder almost ran out of breath. Mom instantly released her pheromones from the car to calm Dad down.

"Daniel, for goodness sake, we need him alive. Calm your wits down! The kids can't breathe!" Mom growled and surrounded us with her sweet and loving pheromones as Dad truly was making us suffocate. He seemed to snap out of his anger and immediately ran to Mom just to feel and caress her cheeks.

"Are you okay?" He managed those words to escape from his lips under pressure as he was still catching his breath out of fear for Mom's safety. She genuinely nodded and kissed Dad. Geez, did anyone remember that I was just rejected hours ago? I cannot stand their public display of affection.

"Dad, I'm not! Look what it did to my hair!" I childishly ranted out like some spoiled 7-year-old, jumped down from the roof, and grimaced at their gross kissing scene. Mom laughed, and Dad scoffed and patted my head. The moment he pulled his hand back, all three of the men panicked. Mom instantly got out of the car and held my face. There was lots of blood, and it didn't hurt until now when I saw some of it drip from Dad's hand.

"Baby, are you okay?" Mom's voice was slowly fading away as my vision got blurry with each second that passed.

"Sophia." Lia's voice felt like it was slowly melting away, but I could grasp that she was reaching out to me, telling me to grab hold of her. With no delay, I tried to seize her paws, and she purred as I calmed her down in my head. I heard my dad violently curse out and lift me up. I think I saw Aidan breaking the limbs of the prey he caught just enough that it didn't die. I felt Jayden pick something from the car, but I didn't have much energy to be able to sense what it was, and I couldn't move my lips to ask. My eyes were getting heavy, and I then slowly drifted into slumber.

***

After what seemed like years of sleeping, I found myself in a familiar place. In my room at the packhouse, I felt someone waking up beside me, and when I turned my head to see who it was, it was Aidan.

"Sophie! Are you okay?! Goddess, we are fucking worried sick about you! You were suddenly unconscious!" he exclaimed, and not too long after that, I sensed the big strides of someone. The door prayed open, and it popped out a disheveled Jayden.

"Sophia!" He jumped on me and hugged me tight.

"Jayden, I can't... Breathe.." I tapped him, and suddenly he was at the door again because Aidan pulled him away from me with force.

"Hey, stupid, you are killing our sister!" Aidan snapped, and I just noticed that both of their eyes were puffy and red.

"That's overdramatic; I just felt sleepy, that's all." I giggled and teased them if they were crying; they looked away, of course, and shamelessly denied it. I asked where Mom and Dad were, and they said that both of them were interrogating the intruder. They then later said that the wolf was a rogue one from the neighboring city, in which we are currently walking on eggshells, or else a full-out war may break out. A war that all of the pack from our city is trying hard to prevent.

I then wondered why on earth they attacked us, but that thought soon vanished right away when I was caught in surprise by Mom and Dad licking me. They are in their wolf forms, full of blood, and they really stink for real. I tried to push their heads away but was hopeless, and with no other choice, I just let them lick and cuddle me to their hearts' content. Lia was extremely happy with it. When they finally settled down, I frowned at them, with hands on my waist, as I was standing up full of their saliva. Jayden and Aidan were running out of breath, laughing.

"So, happy now?" I sighed, and they just pranced around me, smelling and ensuring that I was fine. I cuddled both of them after I wolfed out for a moment and shrugged all their saliva off of me. We then shifted back, butt naked, because we were the only ones in my room and we were quite used to it. Actually, being naked is not a big deal at all, as it is our nature as wolves. But of course, both of them immediately covered each other up. I chuckled as I was reminded that Alphas and Lunas are really protective of each other and of their pups. I suddenly felt Lia being so restless, and she won't tell me why, but when a tall, dark, and well-built man appeared in front of me like magic, covering my naked body with his from my parents and brothers, I was stunned and froze in place. His sweet and inebriating scent filled my nose, and I clenched my fist to stop myself from pouncing on him. With a deep breath, I yelled.

"What the fuck are you doing here, Carter?"
