Madison's POV
When I come out of the washroom, I find Amanda waiting for me outside. I get curious seeing her pacing back and forth because it seems she is having some trouble. Upon seeing me, she rushes to hug me as if I am going to vanish in the thin air.
"What's wrong, Amanda?" I ask rubbing her back gently.
"Are you okay?" She asks back making me chuckle at her.
"Why won't I be okay, haa? I am absolutely fine." I reply pulling away from the hug.
"I know you hate it when anyone insult female warriors so I was worried that you would be very furious to even talk." She says biting her lips.
"You are right about being furious with Alpha Alessandro for insulting female warriors. But it's your big day and by any chance I don't want to spoil it by thinking about someone who don't even matter to me. So, stop worrying and let's go before Merrick comes here." I say while she giggles with blush coating her cheeks.
We walk into the room where the reception party is held and instantly Merrick comes our way before looking at his mate from head to toe to see if she is okay making me roll my eyes. Nevertheless, I leave the couple alone and join my Uncle Nicholas who smiles at me.
"Where were you?" He asks.
"I was in the washroom." I reply smiling back at him.
"By the way, I have an important matter to discuss with you." He says making me look at him curiously.
"What is it, uncle?" I ask.
"Not here, darling. We will talk when we go back to the packhouse." He replies leaving no room for any discussion.
I look around the room and suddenly my eyes fall on my so-called mate who is flirting with none other than Brittney. I scoff internally because these two seem to be similar in many things. Out of which is flirting with anyone who takes interest in them.
I don't want to dwell on them so I look at the newly married couple who is dancing and looking so in love that it makes me wonder if love is really good or bad. Suddenly, a hand forward in front of me making me look up to see that Dylan is standing with a small smile on his face. Without hesitation, I put my hand in his and both of us make our way towards the stage.
I put my arm around his neck while he wraps his arms around my waist before we start to sway side by side. Dylan is a handsome fella and a very good friend of mine. But that's all he is to me, although he has tried to flirt with me for quite some time but I have cleared beforehand that nothing can happen between us. Also, him being Amanda's big brother and the beta of our pack makes me feel uncomfortable to think about him as anything more than a friend
He has also accepted that I only see him as a friend and now he is waiting to find his mate. Speaking of mate, I remember that he is going to look for her or him in other packs.
"Hey, when are you going to look for your mate?" I ask.
"I will leave in two weeks and move towards north of the part of the city first. Hopefully, I won't be disappointed and can find my mate." He replies with a sigh.
"I am sure you will definitely find your mate this time, don't lose hope." I let out offering him a bright smile.
"What about you? Aren't you excited to find your mate?" He asks jokingly.
"You already know what I think about mate so nope, I don't want to find my mate and by any chance if I meet my mate I will straightly reject him." I reply making his eyes widen.
"You can't be serious?" He says making me smirk.
"I am fully serious. Look, you guys believe in mate bond but I don't so there won't be anyone in my life." I answer while I feel like someone is glaring at me from the side.
So, I look in that direction to see that Alpha Alessandro is the one who is glaring at me making me roll my eyes at him. I can see that Brittney is trying to get his attention by running her hands on his chest but it seems it's not working. Suddenly, her eyes fall on me she scowls at me while I show her my middle finger.
Finally, the time comes to say goodbye to Amanda as she is going to her new pack. There are a lot of tear shade, hugs being conveyed before she gets inside the car along with her mate. I wave my hand and promise her that I will come to meet her.
Just as I am going to get inside my car, someone tugs me on the arm harshly making me turn around to see that it's Alpha Alessandro. I try to get my arm back but his hold is quite strong. Also, I don't want to create any scene.
"What do you want?" I ask after looking around to see if anyone is seeing us or not. Thankfully, no one is around so I heave a sigh of relief.
"I have something to tell you." He says making me raise my eyebrow at him.
"I don't have time to talk to you." I reply rolling my eyes at him.
"I am also not interested in you. I just want to say some words which will make things easy for both of us." He remarks smirking at me.
"Really? What is it?" I ask sarcastically.
"I, Alessandro Moretti, Alpha of the Blue Moon Pack, reject you Madison Colbert." I feel like someone has stabbed me with a needle in the heart which hurts like a b***h. But I will be damned if I let him see me in pain.
"Look Alpha Alessandro, I don't care what you want or what you think. But let me clear one thing, don't think that I will come to you begging for taking back the rejection because believe I am not some weakling." I let out folding my hands in front of my chest.
"Madison please calm down." Ava says through the mind link.
"I am calm and that's why he still has his head attached to his body or I would have detached it a long time ago for thinking me as a weak woman." I reply calmly.
"Then it settles that from now on we don't know each other." He says before walking away from the sight.
I clutch my chest which is paining badly. f**k! I thought I would be the one to reject him but he did it before I could say anything. However, I am happy that now I don't have to feel guilty about rejecting my mate.
Alessandro's POV
"How can you reject our mate, fucker?" Damon yells through the mind link making me wince at the growing headache.
I thought I wouldn't be feeling anything after rejecting Madison, but my assumption seems to be futile as I feel like I will pass out at any moment. Not only that, Damon is yelling at me non-stop since I have got inside the car saying that I have done wrong.
"Because I love Isabella so I don't want anyone else to cone between us." I reply angrily.
"But Isabella is a human, she can't be a luna to our pack. While Madison is a warrior, she will be able to rule the pack strongly." He remarks making me scoff.
"Madison is an attention-seeking person who thinks that just because she knows a few fighting moves she is better than male fighters. On the other hand, Isabella is nice and gentle to everyone in the pack the way a luna should behave. So, stop with the unnecessary discussion." I reply.
"You will see how wrong you are by rejecting our true mate." He says before disconnecting the link while I rub my forehead trying to get rid of the headache.
Finally, the car stops in front of the packhouse and before I can go inside I notice my darling aka Isabella is running toward me. Instantly, I open my arms to catch her knowing well how much she likes to be picked up.
"I missed you." She mumbles wrapping her arms around my neck while I put my hands around her curvy waist.
"I missed you too, my darling. By the way, I have brought a gift for you which I know you will definitely like." I let out while she looks at me happily. She always likes it when I surprise her by buying things for her although she only takes the gifts if they are not expensive. So, I try to get her simple things which don't cost much.
"What is it?" She asks eagerly.
"Let's go inside and then I will give it to you." I reply making her nod her head.
