Chapter 10
Rex rubbed his eyes and laid the last book in the stack down. He
wasn’t sure what time it was, or how long he’d been holed up in the assigned
room. Wrong. According to the book he’d finished reading, the wolves with the
highest rank received the rooms with the most comfort due to their ability to
protect and guard the pack. The pack alpha being the one who owns the Pack
House and has an entire floor for himself and his family. That should have been
his area. He was ten time stronger than his Mr. Chamberland, but because . . .
. the pack law book stated that the illegitimate child of Rene Dawn Chamber
land, whose name had been marked out of the Pack Register, no longer held the
right to hold any position among the pack and was to be considered the lowest
ranked pack member, no matter his power status. That law had his wolf howling
inside his head, but when he read that the legal age limit among the werewolves
was twenty-one, because their bodies did not completely mature until then, he’d
all but threw up. Mr. Chamberland had been right. It no longer mattered that he
was an legal adult among the human world. He had ceased to be among them until
he knew how to control the animal lurking under his skin. He could read all the
books they brought him, but they each told him the same thing. Took time to form
a bond between the wolf and human side. Until then . . . soon as he had that control he was stuck
living under Mr .Chamberland’s thumb. It meant following the rules. Most of
them. There was some he would not be able to do.
The door creaked open and
Larry came to stand in the doorway. “Are you hungry?”
Rex took a moment and took
in Larry’s entire body. Least know he knew why he’d been attracted to the man,
even though he threw off mixed vibes. Didn’t quiet understand why he threw off
mixed vibes, other than he did not like him. From what the first book reading
that Larry told him to read, he would find him irresistible because the two of
them were destined to be together.
“Looks like you got lots
of reading done.”
“I did.” Rex waved for
Larry to come, but he shook his head. “I thought we could talk before we went to
eat.” He really wanted to know why the Larry did not behave like the books spoke
of most predestined mates. According to the book, there was an attraction that
could not be denined. That the two paired together could not stand to be in the
same area as one another without touching. So far, that’d not been the case with
Larry and him. “I need to know how accurate these books are?”
“Extremely.” Larry smiled
at him.
“Can’t be if you are this
close to me and over there.” Not that Rex wanted to push the man into being
with him.
“There are laws here.”
Right. The pack law book
stated that no man could mate to a man. Rex thought that was just a chosen
mate. Not destined mate. Those were not to be kept from one another, according
to the other books.
“We are meant to be
together.” Rex didn’t’ need to hear what Larry was going to say to know where
this was going, but his wolf needed to hear the rejection.
“In this pack it is not
doable. Even if it was, I’ve done been through the Choosing Ceremony and mated
to someone else. We have a son and I will not abandoned them.”
Rex’s wolf snarled,
baring his teeth, but then dropped to his belly when he saw the sadness lurking
in the back of his mate’s eyes. Larry might not like what he had said, but he
was going to standby what he said.
“It is not easy for me to
ask this . . .” Larry glanced down the hallway, in both directions, then
lowered his voice, “but I have to request that you recite the Mate Rejection
Speech.”
His wolf whined and
curled up in on himself as his chest felt like it’d been ripped from him. Then Larry’s
words sank in.
“That has to come from
you. I’m the lowest ranked pack member.”
“You might be by law, but
your wolf is more dominate than mine, making you the strongest in our pairing.”
It was in his own hands
if he broke his own heart and gave up his own destined mate. He did not want to.
It felt dishonorable to do so. It would tear his and his wolf’s soul in half,
but he did not want to make his destined mate unhappy.
“Are you sure this is
what you want?”
“We will not be allowed
to be together here. If you announced that we are destined mates then shame
will come to my wife and son. I do not wish that. Not to mention how hard I have
worked to become second in command. It has been my dream since I was a child.”
Just how life goes. Mom
dies. He learns he’s a werewolf. Learns he has to live under the thumb of a man
who hates him because of his mom’s actions and know the one that is supposed to
be with him for life wants to save face and continue the life he has already
built. Life really did suck.
Just do as he wishes.
I do not want to make the one that belongs to us, miserable. I’d whether us be
that way than him. Not like we won’t be that way anyway.
His wolf made good
points.
Rex walked over to Larry,
lifting his hand, but stopped before he touched his face. He sighed and then
did the hardest thing he thought he’d ever do.
“Larry, the one destined
to be mine, I reject you and hope that the fates decide to pair us both again.”
It was as if a long band
snapped back into his chest. His wolf snarled and howled as he stumbled back a
couple of steps. Larry rubbed his chest and hung his head. The two of them
stood there staring for a couple of minutes then Larry waved at the door.
“Come one, I’ll show you
to the cafeteria. How it works is self-explanatory.”
