Chosen by Fate, Rejected by the Alpha

Trevor

I was having a bit of a break with the other guys. All of them except for Landon were mated and I just found out last night that I was mated. I didn't have that much time to even see my mate since she was busy and all, being the Fae Queen. Damn, I can't believe that I am finally mated after all of this time. And to a queen no less.

"Hahh." I sighed again. I was a little annoyed because I wasn't with my new mate but also worried about what I was even going to do as her mate.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Landon glared at me. He was obviously feeling salty about not having a mate yet.

"I am just trying to wrap my head around all of this." I put my face in my hand and pinched my temples as I tried to alleviate the stress that I was feeling.

"What is there to wrap your head around?" Reece didn't seem to understand what was going through my head.

"Yeah, I don't get it." Shane shrugged as he looked at me intently. "You've got a mate now, it's not like it's going to change who you are. You're still going to be you. I mean, nothing really changed with me when I found my mate."

"Yeah, well, no offense Shane, but you can't relate to what I am going to go through." I sighed again, just thinking about it all.

"What is it? What do you think is going to be so different?" David asked me as I shook my head, trying to rid myself of the anxiety I was feeling. "Aren't you happy to have a mate?"

"I am happy. I am really fucking happy. That isn't the issue."

"You better be happy." Landon snapped at me. I could tell that he was being about ninety percent playful and about ten percent truly angry that he hadn't met his woman yet.

"I know what the problem is." Vincent looked at me with eyes that seemed to be filled with so much knowledge as he took a drink of his coffee.

"Really? Then enlighten us, oh wise one, because I am still fucking clueless." Shane laughed.

"I know what it is, too." Reece just crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair. Yeah, I had no doubt that he knew. He was the only person in this room that could relate to me. Hell, he was one of the few people in the entire world who can actually relate to what I was feeling right now.

"What is it?!" Shane pretended to shake Reece then, acting as if he were desperate.

"He's worried about becoming the king." Vincent answered in Reece's place, and he was completely right.

"Really?" Shane, David, and Shawn all just asked that in a high, curious voice as their heads tilted in a way that made them look like the three stooges or something. Too much alike.

"Yeah, really. I mean, think about it for a minute, OK? I am mated to Queen Gloriana of the Fae. That means that, essentially, when we get married, I will become the king. The fucking king. That's a lot of pressure." I almost felt like hyperventilating. Was the room spinning or was that just me? "I feel for you, Reece, I really do. You mated with a girl that became a Queen time and time again. You're like a triple king now or something. Actually, I think that I lost count of how many titles you have now." I chuckled as Reece grinned back at me.

"Hey, some people are born to lead while others cry over the responsibility." He was making fun of me now.

"I am not crying." I snapped at him.

"Yeah, yeah, I know. You're just panicking."

"Hey, wait a minute!"

We all looked over to see Shane grinning like a crazy man. He was looking at me with his eyes open and a look of pure, mischievous, evil joy. What the hell was going through that man's mind? I both did and did not want to know.

"What? What's going on?" Shawn looked at his twin brother, who was not quite identical to him anymore.

"So, Trevor, how does it feel to be the King of the Fairies?" Shane ignored his brother and grinned at me. I wanted to smack him in his stupid face and nearly got to my feet to do just that. However, everyone in the room, except for Shawn for some reason, started to laugh at what Shane had said.

"Yeah, I never thought about that." Reece was chuckling like he found the whole situation hilarious.

"I never thought I would see the day. Someone dethroned my brother. Sorry Shawn, you have to be content being the vampire queen, there is another king of the fairies."

"Fuck you, Shane." Shawn and I both snapped at his brother as we glared at the man.

"Wait, wait, do you think that you will end up with fairy wings and all that too? Will you get a pretty little Fae name? What type of fairy do you want to be, Trevor? Come on, we all want to know."

"I'm going to beat your little fucking ass." I leapt to my feet and started toward Shane's grinning, annoying face. I swear I was going to kill him. Him and his little annoying, joking ass.

"I'm sorry. It was just a joke." Shane was up and running across the room, away from me, as I stalked after him.

"I don't care. I don't take too kindly to your jokes. I am not a fucking fairy."

"I know. I know. You're a big strong, bear man. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry." I was literally chasing the man around the room and apparently it looked funny to everyone else that was in there because they were all laughing at us like we were putting on a comedy show. I'm really fuckin glad that they were entertained. It's not like it was at my expense or anything. No, I don't mind them laughing at me one bit.. I was just so fucking happy about it all. Dammit, who would have though that me getting a mate would end up so fucking complicated?
