THIRTY MINUTES BEFORE
Elizabeth shifted from the bed when she couldn't sleep. She had five minutes of breakdown, she was hurting as well as Adrianna. The wind blew and as the curtain opened, she saw a shadow. Elizabeth gasped in shock and whispered," Paul?".
Paul moved closer to her and smiled. He has changed, Elizabeth wondered. His hair was shorter than usual and his Dressing changed, more like he was from a rich home. Paul removed the hood as he sat on her bed and pulled her close.
"I will tell you everything but first, sleep". Paul said sternly and managed to get her to sleep. He knew Elizabeth would want to know the reason he left. It was a secret to others but for Elizabeth, he would make an exception. "I am home now". He whispered in her ear and placed a kiss on her cheeks.
Elizabeth woke up the next morning and saw Paul beside her. She sighed as she thought to herself, today is the day. She placed a kiss on his forehead and went to the bathroom to freshen up.
Paul woke up minutes later and didn't find Elizabeth on the bed. He was scared as he bolted up but relaxed when he heard the sound of water in the bathroom. He stood up from her bed and wanted to step out of the room when he came face to face with Kyle.
"What are you doing here?". Kyle sneered. He was so angry right now that he could snap Paul into two. Kyle couldn't sleep last night, he was tossing and turning until 7 am when he jumped up from his bed and was about to knock on Elizabeth's door.
"Who is that?". Elizabeth asked while putting on her shirt. Kyle growled angrily.
"Slut". He murmured. He couldn't believe she could do that to him. He never did go as far as that and now she decided to take a step further with 'him'.
"Say what?". Elizabeth snapped feeling offended. "You don't know anything and you don't have any right to judge".
"I can, because I am.......". Kyle was cut off by Elizabeth.
"Don't finish that statement. You are not my mate". Elizabeth said through gritted teeth.
"Oh denying me in front of lover boy, how nice". Kyle said without humour.
"At least he is ten times a better man than you are". She whispered and that shut him up.
Paul has been watching their argument with a smirk on his face while leaning on the door.
"Kyle". Paul started which earned him a scowl from him. "I hate you but Liz and I are friends". Kyle visibly relaxed.
"You gave me a nickname?". Elizabeth grinned happily while launching herself on him.
Kyle growled which made Elizabeth look at him before attacking Paul with kisses. Kyle only shook his head and left the two of them.
There was a welcome dinner put in place for Paul which includes Alpha Max and his family, Kyle, Cara as well as Paul's family. Paul sat next to Alpha Prince Kyle who was sitting at the head table. Beside Alpha Kyle, on his left hand side is Alpha Max, Luna Claire and Marianne while Paul's family sat beside him at his right hand side and Cara stood behind Alpha Max.
The food was placed in front of them but none did touch their food.
"Let's go straight to the point, why did you reject your mate?". Beta Colton asked playing his role as his brother.
It was silent for five minutes before Colton decided that question wasn't the best opening phrase at the moment.
Paul didn't care in fact he was toying with his phone. He knew his physical change will attract girls even Ashley took interest in him.
"Answer me". His brother demanded shouting. Fraya stood up and shouted on Colton. "Don't ever talk to him that way".
Everyone was surprised. This is a first. Paul's father, Richard lowered his head in shame and Paul scoffed not believing the whole thing.
"I rejected my mate because she rejected me first". Paul answered.
"You didn't beg me because of that slut". Cara voiced out referring to Elizabeth.
Kyle and Paul growled causing everyone to freeze.
"What the fuck?". Marianne said realizing the fact that Elizabeth was either Kyle's or Paul's mate and she hoped she wasn't Kyle's.
They were all brought out from their reverie when Paul screamed and his bone snapped.
"He is changing. He needs his mate". His mother said while rushing over to her son
