Rejected by the Alpha werewolf but I'm a panther so I don't care!

Merit POV

I was playing the neighboring pride's cubs later that day when I felt a immense pain in my chest. I went into panic mode while my panther yelled at me to relax.

Don't worry. All he did was mark some misfated she-wolf. She spoke so calmly that I don't know what scared me the most. The fact that my 'mate' marked someone else or that my inner animal was reacting as if it didn't matter.

Suddenly I felt as calm as my panther and I wanted to feel scared but it wouldn't let. I couldn't feel anything. Mostly though, I felt as if the mating between Kevin and I never happened. Like I literally felt nothing.

"How are you?" Mom sat down beside me with the blissfully unaware children that most likely didn't witness anything. I wish I still had that innocence.

I look at her and tears came in my eyes but I didn't cry because I saw no reason to.

"Why did he do it?"

"There's something going on with his father and your father."

"What is it?"

My mom smiled and waved a needle in my face and I can pretty much guess that the needle had something to do with my now calm effect.

"Oh these? These are bonding dullers sweetie."

"I know that mom. I'm talking about what you said before."

She smiled but feigned innocence.

"Whatever do you mean, dear child?"

"Don't play dumb. You know what I mean!"

Suddenly I regretted my outburst when she gave me the 'look'. You never disrespect a female feline shifter in their own home. Especially a panther. Instantly my head bowed.

"I apologize Lady of the House."

She gave me a cool look and walked away as if we never talked at all.

I continued to play with the children until their parents came to get them. The neighboring pride was run by my dad's best friend from college. The leader, whose name is Daniel, smiled as a servant opened the door. His wife, Lily, soon followed. I personally didn't like her because she always tried to flirt with my dad and it pissed me off.

"Hello Merit. How are you?"

"Greetings to you sir. I am well but how have the Gods treated you thus far?"

"Very well, indeed. We are to be expecting another litter soon and hopefully it will girls."

"Congradulations and I pray your wish comes true."

Lily fake coughed to get me to acknowledge her and for some reason it worked. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes and plastered a fake smile on my face. I had to admit that they do make a charming couple with Leader Daniel's height of 6"3, a caesar cut that made his look just like the young business man he was, and wonderful brown eyes. Lily stood 5"7, hand shoudler length black hair, and the same brown eyes as her husband.

"Greetings to you as well Lady of the House." I didn't ask her how she was doing because personally I didn't care.

I put the cubs in a basket and handed it to Daniel. He smiled and a servant let them out. I sigh and walked up to my bedroom. I stripped out of my clothes and hopped in the shower. I stayed in for 45 minutes and when I got out I decided that maybe a run would do me some good. I could also go see either Melissa or Jake. Maybe even Adrian.

I changed into a pair of khaki shorts that stops mid thigh, a short white shirt that showed some stomach and pair of cute black flats. I walked down to the main floor and past my father's study.

"Ubi tu Meritum?" (1) My father always spoke to us children in Latin and my mother to us in Greek. They wanted us to learn the languages as well as many others and if we spoke back in English we were grounded.

"Enim a run pater," (2) I answered back.

"Bene. Servare de tribulationis," (3) he said.

"Bonus pater. Ego te post." (4) I left and shifted and I thanked the Gods that feline shifters clothes don't ripped when they shift.

I ran for a while until I came to Kevin's territory. I saw him and his mother sitting at a beautiful gazebo sipping some type of beverage. I leaned my head on my front paws and watched them until the sun rose.

Fast forward a 3 weeks later...

I was walking from the limo to the school when I felt another pain in my chest. I looked around and saw Kevin kissing his newly marked girl. I ran past them as he gave me a smug look. I ran to the girls' bathroom and looked around is my bag for a bonding duller. I found one and without thinking I plunged it into my arm and with in seconds felt calmed and nothing else.

As I stared at the needle I realized that I was starting to like bonding dullers more and more.

And those are the translations. I wanted to upload this during the morning but I was busy with other stuff. But then again I could have since I was up at like 3. Moving on the next upload will probably be sometime this week or on the weekend. Guess this it it. Peace.
