Rejected By My Mate, Claimed By His Stepbrother

**Amelia**

Even though I had agreed to follow Dr. Alex Darlington, who was now my mate back home because of the party he organized, deep down I knew I wasn't going to follow him; I had only accepted in order to get him off my back.

After collecting my certificate, I bade goodbye to Becky, who was busy discussing with some of her friends and taking selfies with them, and with that, I started heading to the exit while praying deep down that I wouldn't encounter Dr. Alex Darlington again because all I wanted to do was to go home and get some rest and to also think about what I was going to do next, whether to stick with Dr. Alex Darlington, who was now my mate, or whether to do to him the same thing I did with Adrian, which was escaping and going to somewhere very far where he would never find me.

With these thoughts running through my mind, I walked out of the school and made my way to the parking lot, but immediately I got to the parking lot, I halted in my steps as I saw the last person I had wanted to see leaning on my car while smiling handsomely at me.

'What the hell, is he stalking me or what?' I thought inwardly while staring at him.

"Little mate, trying to run away again?" Dr. Alex Darlington asked me with a warm and charming smile, jolting me out of my thoughts.

"No, I wasn't," I said to him as I walked towards my car.

"Really?" He asked me with a furrowed brow.

"Yes, I wasn't trying to run away," I said to him with a firm tone, even though deep down I knew that I was lying.

"Okay then, it seems like you are done with the graduation, can we start going now?" He asked me as I unlocked my car.

"Yes," I said to him after some minutes of hesitation.

"What about your car?" I asked him, knowing that someone as rich as he was wouldn't come to such an event without a car.

"Ooh, I asked my driver to head back home without me," he said to me, and immediately I furrowed my brows at him.

"And how will you be heading back home?" I asked him with a furrowed brow.

"I will join you in your car; why should I bother following my driver while I can simply follow my mate and get the chance to spend some time with her even though she doesn't want me anywhere near her?" he said to me, and immediately I rolled my eyes at him.

"I never said that," I said to him before opening the car and getting inside.

"Well, you don't need to say it before I know it; remember what I told you earlier: actions speak louder than words," he said to me as he got into the car with me.

"Well, that still doesn't change the fact that I didn't open my mouth to say that, and unless I do, every other thing you will say will be nothing but mere insinuations," I said to him with a defensive tone.

"Really?" He asked me before stretching out his hand to touch me, but I immediately flinched back.

"And that's exactly what I'm talking about," he said to me before withdrawing his hand and pulling out his phone and typing some things before handing it to me.

"That's my address," he said to me after handing me the phone.

Without uttering a single word, I ignited the car and drove off following the address he sent me.

"So from which pack are you from?" He asked me, breaking the silent atmosphere in the car.

"I'm not from any pack. I grew up in the human world," I said to him, not wanting to reveal to him anything about the pack I came from, which might also lead to me telling him about Adrian.

"Really?" He asked me with a furrowed brow.

"Yes, what about you?" I asked him.

"Moonstone Pack," he said to me, taking me aback.

"What?" I asked him with a surprised tone, as I wasn't expecting him to be from the same pack I came from.

It's true that I'm not originally from Moonstone Pack; I was only brought to the pack after our Pack Silver Moon Pack was destroyed and my parents died in the process, but until I left the pack, I had never set my eyes on him.

"Yes, I'm from Moonstone Pack, but I also grew up here in the human world," he said to me, and I nodded in reply.

"But why do you look surprised when I told you from which Pack I came from?" He asked me with a furrowed brow.

"Nothing, I had thought that a doctor who is as famous as you are in the human world had grown up in a werewolf pack," I said to him at the same time his phone started beeping, signaling that we were close to the destination.

After driving for some minutes, I pulled over in front of a big mansion as his phone signaled that we had gotten to our destination.

"Wow, is this your house?" I asked him while admiring the huge mansion right in front of me.

"Yes it is. Do you like it?" He asked me with a warm smile.

"Yes, I do; from the outside, one could already tell that it's a beautiful mansion," I said to him while admiring the mansion.

"Well, I'm glad that you like it, because soon it's going to be your home too, and also where we are going to do everything together," he said to me while leading me inside, and with that I furrowed my brows at him.

"Things like what?" I asked him with an inquisitive look, and with that, he grinned at me.

"You will find out soon, little mate," he said to me before patting my head.

"By the way, the party has already begun, so wait for me here; let me put on something casual, and I will take you to the hall where the party is taking place," he said to me as we got to the sitting room.

"Okay," I said to him, and with that, he blew a kiss at me before walking away.

Once he left, I sighed heavily before sitting down on one of the sofas, and at the same time, my gaze fell on the image that was hanging on the wall. Taking a proper look at it, I was surprised to see some familiar faces in the image.

'What the hell' I muttered as I stood up from the sofa and walked towards the image to l make sure that my eyes weren't playing games on me.

As I got closer, my heart skipped thousands of times as it dawned on me that my eyes weren't actually playing games on me; on the image hanging on the wall was Adrian, Dr. Alex Darlington, and Alpha Darlington, who was Adrian's father, and a lady who I assumed was Dr. Alex Darlington's mother.
