Shattered promises: His rejected mate

Lola Pov

The excitement in me could not be bottled as i stared at my clothes on the bed. "A long blue gown with handpicked stone designs, shining in all its glory", there is no way this gown won't turn heads at the gala. I paired it with a glass shoe given to me by my mother, that woman knows what's best for me. It's my 18th birthday and it's a memorable way to end my birthday.

The met gala is always planned by the bluemoon packs and it invites his neighbouring packs to its events. It is said to foster unity among packs and also you might be destined to meet your mate there. It is majorly for the teens and youth of the packs and since there are barely mothers and father's there, the party goes wild at some point. I wasn't bothered about that, I'm in for all the fun it has to give. I am more thrilled about meeting my crush, who is also the son to the alpha of the bluemoon pack, Robin. We attend the same school, I have always hoped that robin would be my mate. The way he smiles whenever he sees me and how he treats me makes me feel beautiful everytime. I had him in mind when I picked my clothes.

Robin is an handsome man whom all ladies at school love, he has a wide chest with packs and a well modelled face. His silk hair was always combed and he has this seductive eyes that makes you wet your pants.

"Young lady, are you coming down or do I have to drag you down here". I was snapped out of my thoughts as my mother, El, shouted.

"I'm dressing up, mother", I wore her gown gently and started packing my hair as my mother came in. I didn't notice her presence but heard a sniff and turned back. Her face was teary.

"Mother, what's wrong?", I said as i went to meet her mother.

"My little pup is all grown now, gosh you will make a beautiful bride".

Lola smiled as she cleaned her mother tears and looked at her "well, I'm still your baby girl so don't think I'm leaving you soon".

I hugged her and we went to my dressing table where my mother picked a diamond stoned earrings and a pearl necklace to match my dressing.

I have always looked up to my mother all my life, Her life was basically all I wished for, have a wonderful childhood, get married to my mate, give birth to beautiful children and live a happily ever after with my alpha. Yeah, you heard me right, my mate has to be an alpha and that's why I yearn for nothing than Robin being my mate. I admired my self in the mirror as I looked at the exact replica of her mother. My silk hair matched my outfit and my blue eyes blended in with my dress. I look and smell like royalty. I was escorted downstairs with my mother where my father and brothers were.

"Wow", My brother muttered, I knew my brother's and they never admit I'm beautiful even when they know it.

"No daughter of mine is going out alone like this, you should go with a convoy of soldiers". My dad said.

I am used to my father's flattering and yeah he can be overprotective at times but I need to be free this night.

"Dad, I am not going to scare my friends away tonight with a bundle of soldiers following me, it's an harmless party." I whined as I gave him my puppy eyes.

"Well, if you say so but my princess isn't going out alone, okay your brother's will escort you there, since it's a party", you all should go and have fun"

Ohh, not my brother's, they are going to tease me to my death.

"But dad, it's just a bunch of weird teenagers who want to drink and have fun, I won't be found in such company and besides I have an engagement tonight, I can't be found babysitting her" Adam said.

I don't want them to follow me to the party because I won't be free to have my fun but I would pay more to see Adam in discomfort.

"Well, young man since you feel you can turn down my orders, you will escort her alone to the gala, Enoch would stay here with me and you will get dressed now and be her guide to the party",My father said.

"I mean Adam, you were always excited to go to the gala every year, what changed? I remember getting you new suits for the events every year", My mum added.

"Mum please, not now", he said as he went to his room in fury.

If I were to choose, I would have chosen Enoch to follow me instead of Adam, we still click better than Adam but it is what it is. I snuggled near my father while we wait for Adam to dress up.

"Let's go nuthead", Adam said as he came out of his room, I looked at my father but he was engrossed in the news that he didn't hear Adam, I would have whined to him but I let that pass, it's enough that he has to clear his schedule for me.

I won't call myself a spoilt brat, I will say I'm a daddy's girl. I hugged my dad as I went with Adam to the party.

"Be safe", My father yelled as we went out of our house.

As we got to the pack house, I felt anxious, I am going to see robin yet I don't know how I will react, tonight will reveal whom my mate will be, I will be shattered if robin isn't my mate. I went into the hall with my brother who seems to be distracted by the whole ruckus.

"Look, I ain't coming here to babysit you, have your fun and I have my fun, I will be around looking for a girl to get busy with, when you are done with your whole princess parade and are ready to go home, look for me." He said as he left me on my own.

That's typical of my brother, I didn't want him around me yeah, but he shouldn't leave me like that though. I can't find any of my school friends yet. Sigh, Let's go get a drink for now.

I went to the kitchen side and ordered a drink, I was about taking the drink when someone nudged me from behind, Nah, this drink isn't going to get spilled on my dress, I shifted and lifted my hand forward, instead it spilled on someone else.

"Gosh, I'm so sorry". I said trying to dust the drink off his shirt.

"It's okay, Lola I'm fine". I stood to look at this person who knew me and oh my goodness, it's like seeing him for the first time, my heart was racing so fast that I felt it in my mouth, my wolf, ayraa was howling and jumping in all excitement as I looked at this beautiful creature before me, Robin.
