Rejection HURTS,Revenge Can Help by Taylor Murphy (little red riding hood read aloud txt) 📕

The couple,I learned to be the Alpha and Luna of the midnight pack(the strongest pack in continental U.S.)THe Luna,Maria, smiled kindly at me.I hesitantly smiled back.

"So, darling you must be the Persephone Alpha Alexander was talking to us about. "

I nodded,"Yes mam."

"oh and so polite.Alexander I am impressed.If only our son was so polite as well. I must say darling though you look stunning in your outfit today. Where di you get that dress?"

"My mum bought it for me on my 16th birthday."

"She has equsite taste.I see where you get it from.Marques,darling, dont you think her dress is beautiful."

Alpha Marques looked at me and smiled a genuiune smile which I returned.

"I believe she is beautiful from the inside out which is what makes that dress beautiful."

I blushed,"Thank you ,Alpha Marques".

Luna Maria then took the stage by dropping the bomb.

"So, darling where have you been?I've visited often and have never met you until now."

"Well, I have been living elsewhere for that time.I came back to visit and come and meet you. I

apologize we didn't get to meet sooner."

Luna Maria waved it off,"You are fine darling. As long as we got to meet now."

I nodded and noticed Xavier hasn't said anything. I looked up at him and see that he is staring at

me. I knew then what he was to me but I gave away nothing and just rolled with the punches.I celt something pinch my thigh. I looked up saw Alexander showing me his watch. I knew now was my que to leave.

"Oh does anyone know what time it is."

"It is 11:35 why?"Alexander asked.

"I am sincerely apologize but I must go. I was just stopping by but I promise one day to visit your land if you would allow."

"Of course, though I wished you could stay longer you are welcome anytime."Alpha Marques held my gaze and I nodded.

I got up and gave Alexander and Luna Marcia a hug and Alpha Marques a firm handshake. I offered my hand to Xavier and he took it and brought it up to his lips.His eyes never leaving mine. When he let go , I am sure my face looked like a tomtato. Alpha Marques snickered.

"Now look what you have done son, you made her blush."

Well that made me blaush even harder so I said my goodbyes and headed out of the room.

WHen I closed the door I waited for it to shut but I didn't hear the click so I turn around. And there standing in the middle of the corridor is my mate,Xavier.  THis is the exact thing I wanted to avoid.Damn my life.

Chapter 4~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I stared at his forest green eyes and stood still, not knowing what to expect. He looked me up and down then zeroed in on my arm.I looked down and saw the midnight present Jaxon gave me on full display.I quickly covered it as I saw Xavier's eyes darken. I took a shaky step back. His eyes now flickered to mine.

"WHAT IS THAT?!"

I flinched at his tone.When I did he was sudennly infront of me with his hand raised. I tensed and flinched .That made him ball his fist and his eyes widen realisation.

"WHO HIT YOU AND OUT THAT ON YOUR ARM?!"

Hearing the comotion Alexander, Jaxon,Alpha Marques, and Luna Maria walked out of the ballroom.Luna Maria raised her brow.

"What is going on here?"

Xavier's eyes never left mine but he replied,"That's what I want to know."

Jaxon assesed the situation then looked at my arm and sneered.

"Sister,looks like you didn't hide my present for you very well."he tsked.

I backed up and hid my arm behind my back.I looked at ALphe Marques and Luna Maria.

"Nothing is going on. Xavier just wanted to have my number and I politely refused. No harm done."'

Luna Maria looked sceptical but didn't question it. Alpha Marques on the other hand was staring at as if to read me. I kknew they knew I was lyong but for what reason and to hide what they didn't know. I swiched my gaze to Xavier's eyes and begged with my eyes for him not to say anything. He raised his brow but didn't say anything to my pleasure. I could tell though he wasn't done with me. That he was going to interigate me later. Alexander looked between us then narrowed his eyes at me. I could tell I was in BIG trouble when the night was over and everyone left.

The rest of the night was uneventful.I did my disappearing act and pretended to be a waitress for the rest of the night. When the grandfather clock in the corner struck midnight all the guests left. THe Alpha,Luna and Xavier were on their private jet half on their way home probably. I was sweeping and busing tables when the doors burst open. I whipped around frightened. THere stood in the doorway was a beyond pissed ALexander. I litterelly trembled in fear as I looked at him. Not only was he beyond pissed but also beyond drunk which meant 3 words. Fuck My Life. If he didn't kill me, I would die of loss of blood afterwards or infection.

He walked towards me like a predator teasing their prey and I backed up closer to the table behind me. His eyes were completely black. My eyes widened in fear as I franticly looked around for an exit out or someone there to help me. Sadly, there was no one.

I turned back to the drunk pissed off Alpha infront of me. He was right infront of me now.I had to tilt my head back to look up at him. His hand moved so fast I didn't see it coming when sudennly his hand swipped my face.My face turned so hard i think I got whiplash. Before I could recover he wrapped his meaty hand around my neck and threw me across the room.I leaned my head forward alittle so I wouldn't die if i landed on my head.Because of this Iwas able to elude death when I crashed into the wall. The impact winded me. Before I could get any air he was there agian wrapping his hand around my neck agian. His eyes looked straight into my own.

"DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH YO SCREWED UP TONIGHT. I ASK ONE THHING FROM YOU AND YOU CAN'T EVEN DO THAT. YOU ARE JUST A WORTHLESS LAZY BITCH AREN'T YOU. A WASTE OF SPACE.BECAUSE OF YOUR SCREW UP IF THEY FOUND OUT ABOUT YOU , THAT WOULD DAMAGE THE BOND BETWEEN OUR PACKS BECAUSE OF YOUR DUMB ASS!" he growled in m face.

He then punched me in my side, his claws punctured my side and I swore inside and cried out. He then ripped my clothes off and started to unbutton his jeans. My eyes widened into saucers and I squirmed harder. He backhanded me and dragged his claws down my other side. I whimpered and knew that if I didn't act now he would take the only thing I had left that was pure. I then brought my knee up and kneed him where the sun shine with all my might and watched as he doubled over wheezing. I then grabbed his silver knife and stabbed him in the knee and thigh all the way through. Wtih him being an Alpha he would heal completely in a day btu right now that would make him unable to chase after me.

Well,there are a change of plans.Looks like I am leaving tonight. I sprint upstairs and baricade my roomm just as the pounding start. i thanked the heavens that I packed already and already had all I needed. I pulled on the back pack and pocketed my secret stash of cash that I stole from them. I had roughly about 2,500,000 in cash. I zipped it up and walked up to my window and opened it. I looked out and positioned myself on the window pane.I was about to doubt when the door finnally ave out and I jumped from the fright and landed akwardly on the ground I looked up at them and saw them staring down at me. I heard growling to my right and turned. There stood Jaxon and his pose. my immediate response was run so I ran like a bat out of hell which was pretty much I was(I will explain later).

I heard clothes tearing ,looked back and cursed. They shifted.I then picked up speed to where everything was a blur.I kept going glad that I changed into my runing shorts and tank top when I dressed. I came to the river that seperated the pack land from others I picked up speed and took a leap of faith litterally and amazingly I landed out of their territory but Iknew there were dangers here so I kept running.

When the sun started to rise I looked at my compass.It showed I was heading north toward the midnight pack. They would be home by now. And shit. I looked down at my side and noticed the blood flow hasn't stopped. I knew my only hope was to find the midnight pack. They did say I was welcomed any time.I held my side as I kept running until I felt a shift in the air letting me know I was in another pack's territory. I took a sniff and by judging the scent I was in Midnight Pack's territory. I ran faster ignoring the complaint in my side.

I got to a clearing and saw Alpha Marques. His head looked around and so did Xavier's. I knew the smelt my blood I kept runnign until I was out of the ree line and then I did stop.Alpha Marques took one look then started smiling.

"Persephone! What are you doing here?"

My breath was coming out in short pants as I looked at them. I looked down at my side and looked at them.THey followed my gaze and Maria gasped. I looked at them.

"Help."

I then couldn't stand any more and collasped but I was still awake Marques was by my side in an instant yelling orders. I let out a short laugh.

"I don't suppose that offer is still on the table."

Xavier and Marques let out an snort and Maria laughed.

"Of course darling."

I smiled and closed my eyes.Sleep pulling me under.

_____________________________________________________________________________

I awoke in a soft bed and looked around, wondering where I am when it all came back to me. I heard a chair scraping and looked over. I saw Marques,Maria and Xavier al looking at me. Xavier was holding my hand. I gave his hand a squeeze and he looked up. I smiled at him annd he smirked at me.I look up and see Mariass smiling as well.

"Well, darling you gave us quite a scare."

I let out a snort then I slowly sat up and winced.Swearing under my breath. I frowned. I moved the plush cover and looked at my sides. THey were all bandaged up. I smiled. I looked at Marques(pronouced markus) and Maria.

"THank you. For helping me. I surely
