Vaguely Rejected

Chapter 2

     A/N Theo James is so *insert heart eyes emoji* 

************

     Making my way back to my room, I couldn't help but feel a twinge in my heart. I know I never wanted a mate, but why do I feel like this? Maybe it's because he didn't want me. So maybe I wasn't as appealing to the eyes as other girls in this pack were, but I'm sure I wasn't that appalling for my mate to reject me because of the mere looks I had. I sighed as I shook my head and walked into my room. Morgead was still there watching 'Rush Hour'.

      I walked towards my bathroom to wash my face. The whole incident with Drache has drained the energy out of me. "I wouldn't open the cupboard if I were you!" Morgead yelled as I went to open the mirror cupboard on top of my sink. Retracting my hand from the handle, I grabbed the towel and dried my face.

    "Let me guess, Theo was here?" I asked, walking back towards Morgead. He just nodded his head, not once taking his eye off the screen. I shook my head at my cousins attempt to get me back as a small smile made its way onto my face. I ran and dived onto my bed once again as I closed my eyes in hopes of taking a nap. The only thing I loved more than cake was sleep. I slowly felt myself drift off into a peaceful nap until a horrendous voice boomed from the door way. I sat up straight and got myself into a fighting stance, ready to kick some ass if needed be.

    "Where's my smoothie?" An enraged Theo asked whilst glaring at me.

     I let out a breath of relief. I thought an intruder was inside. Rolling my eyes, I looked at my angry cousin. "I drank it." I monotony said as I sat back down.

     His eyes never left mine as he clenched his fists, jaws twitched and he inhaled deeply. "If you weren't a girl, you'd be dead." He growled as a small smile made its way onto my face.

    "If you weren't a girl as well you'd be dead." I provoked him, smiling when his fists began to shake.

     "Seriously all of this just for a smoothie?" Morgead butted in as he paused the movie and stood in between us.

    "Not just a smoothie." Theo growled out. "This is for all the oreos, mac and cheese, lollies, chips, and ice cream that monster over there ate." Theo replied, his tone full of power as he shifted his feet, one directly in front of the other.

    I rolled my eyes as I scoffed. I stood up and got myself into a fighting stance with the ends of my lips curling up. "This is for my slice of cake!" I roared as I charged towards him. My war cry sounded just like that line from 300, 'This is Sparta'.

    Before I could lunge forward towards my cousin, Morgead intercepted as he caught me mid-air. My legs were wrapped around his waist as my arms were out of control trying to get towards my cousin. "Easy there Liz." Morgead said still holding onto me.

     "Let me go." I said as I kept trying to get to an amused Theo. He began to laugh at my fail attempts to get out of Morgeads hold, as he mimicked my actions while putting on a hideous face. He was making my stress and anger level sky rocket. "I'll wipe that smug look right off your face!" I threatened.

      "Liz, calm down, it's his birthday today." Morgead tried to reason with me as I kept struggling to get off of him. He was right though, so I immediately stopped fighting and sighed in defeat. "Besides he is younger." Morgead added in an amused tone as a small smile made its way back onto my face as I looked at Morgead.

     "You're right Morgead." I sighed with fake intent. "He is the baby of the family." I looked towards Theo. All amusement completely vanished from his face as he glared at Morgead and I. "I'm sowwie, think you can forgive me?" I cooed as I looked down, trying to hide the obvious smirk on my face.

      A deadly growl erupted in the room which shocked both Morgead and I as I felt it vibrate through my bones. My head snapped up at Theo to meet his enlarged brown eyes. Slowly he turned around and we were all met with pitch black eyes. Drache.

     My body immediately stiffened as I took in his appearance. His usual emotionless demeanour has completely changed. There he was, at my door, his fists clenched so hard they were shaking, his luscious lips now maliciously pursed together as his dark brown eyes which were now black narrowed towards the direction of Morgead. Realisation finally hit me when I looked at Morgead and found myself just inches away from his face. He was still holding me. My legs were still wrapped around his torso. I mentally face palmed myself.

     Morgead put me down as he stood protectively in front of me as he eyed Drache. "Who are you?" He questioned as Theo stood by his side, shielding me from him too, as if I couldn't protect myself. I rolled my eyes. I could take care of myself, hell I was the one who trained Theo. Besides, Drache isn't a threat to anyone, except my poor stupid heart who was on over drive with his presence.

    "He's Drache. Alpha of the Crescent Moon Pack." I said as I made my way in front of them. Morgead immediately reached for my arm as he pulled me back, earning another growl from Drache.

     My body was heating up. He was jealous. Drache, my mate who vaguely rejected me was jealous, and I was loving it. My eyes, which were filled with amusement, met his dark eyes. He looked at me for a few seconds, as he tried to maintain himself. The ends of my lips curled up as I raised an eyebrow at him. "Something wrong Alpha Drache?" I innocently asked as I gestured towards Morgeads grasp on my arm.

     He straightened his shirt as he cleared his throat. "As a matter of fact Lizard, there is."

    Theo and Morgead looked at me weirdly. No one else knew my real name besides my family and the nurses who were at the hospital when I was born. I shrugged them off, not wanting to tell them what happened between Drache and I. "And what is that?" I asked nonchalantly.

     "That." He all but growled out. My heart was beating so fast as he stalked towards Morgead and I. "This is bothering me." He pointed towards Morgead and I. I could literally faint right now. "It's wrong." He continued as he squeezed between Morgead and I. "And it's irritating me." He growled, looking at me once more before he bent down and picked up the photo frame that was on the floor, most likely from Theo and I's mini civil war. I couldn't help but feel disappointed; I thought he was talking about Morgead and I. He looked at it and his body immediately tensed again as I saw the side of his jaws clench. He handed it to me and I tried to suppress the laugh that threatened to be let out. It was a photo of Morgead who was covered in pie as I stood next to him, pecking his cheek. The mischievous glint in my eyes was obvious as I shook my head in amusement at that memory.

     Without a second look, he walked out of the room leaving the three of us dumbfounded. "What's up his ass?" Theo questioned.

     "I have no idea." I lied as I attempted to make a run for it.

      "Hold on there Lizard." Morgead called out as I internally groaned. I slowly turned around to face them. Both Morgead and Theo had their arms crossed over their chests as they stared at me intently. "How does he know your real name?" He asked suspiciously.

     "I have no idea what you're talking about." I replied as I refused to make eye contact with them. I went to walk back to my bed, but they both blocked the way. I sighed as I walked around them to my walk in closet.

    "Liz?" Morgead called out again.

    "Morgead." I replied, mimicking him.

    "Liz no!" Morgead yelled as I opened the cupboard.

      Too late. I was now drenched in pancake syrup. "THEODORE DONOVEN!" I roared. He is so dead meat.
