One mate and a Rejection

Chapter 2

Hot tears streamed down my face and I didnt wait before I ran out of the restaurant forgetting all about

his gift.

Hardly thinking, I kept running away until I was in the middle of the forest. I felt every bubble burst and

my clouds turning into a thunderstorm. I felt as if my whole world was flipped upside down in the worst

possible way.

I let out a scream, releasing my body from the shock it's in and crying until I had no more tears. In the

distance, I caught sight of a house.

A big wooden house, surrounded by tears, blurred by my tearful vision.

I picked myself up and walked deeper into the forest, desperate to get lost or to get away from this

agonizing reality but it followed me wherever I went.

Blade POV

I live alone in a wooden house on the edge of the forest.

I was provided with entertainment by head cheerleader, Jessica Bolt, who was slowly taking off her

thin, poor—excuse—for—a shirt and unzipping her jeans when I felt my breathing stop. A sudden

uneasy feeling draped over me, a sort of depressed feeling.

It only grew stronger the more I tried to ignore it.

Mate. Said my wolf. Our mate is nearby.

"uhh, are you okay?" Jessica paused and looked at me with confused eyes.

"Get out," I spoke through gritted teeth to a now half naked Jessica.

"What?" she asked in her whiny voice.

"Get. Out," I repeated, taking a seat on my bed.

"But we aren't even—"

"Get out!" I yelled, using my alpha tone," now!"

She scrambled to her feet and hurried to pick up her things before leaving.

I stood to my feet and reached for the window. After practically tearing the hinges off, I jumped out the

window and shifted into my black wolf.

I ran into the forest letting my paws do the thinking.

I snuck from behind a large boulder and watched as a girl, probably my age, sat near the cliff's edge

and traced circles on the pavement with her finger.

I wondered why she was here, and why was she so sad. I had the urge to hold her in my arms and rock

her until she's happy again.

I wanted to see her face.

The darkness masked both sides of her, making it impossible to catch a glimpse. My wolf was angered.

Furious actually. He wanted the head of whoever caused her this pain. He wanted to rip apart their skin

with his teeth and throw them in the deepest pits of hell where they belong.

I tried to force my paws to move, but my wolf wouldn't let me. He stayed put to the ground, watching

with interest as the girl wiped away her tears.

I felt my human side giving in to my wolf and forced myself to snap out of it. No, I thought, this isn't

possible! I don't have a mate!

A flashback of my birthday emerged in my head.

On my eighteenth birthday, I looked into the eyes of every girl but could not find my mate. I made the

transition on my own without help, and I almost died.

A few months later, my mate shows up?

I should be happy, ecstatic actually.

But I wasn't. Instead, I was angered.

I want nothing to do with this girl, not after everything reality has put me through. I deserve to be alone.

But whether it was my wolf or myself ,I at least wanted to know who this girl was. Emerald's POV

I woke up Saturday morning with dried tears and bags beneath my eyes. Everything felt sore in my

body.

I sigh and wash my face, unable to stand this sight of me any longer. I hopped into the shower, making

sure to wash all of the dirt off my body. I caught sight of my destroyed golden dress that was thrown

into the wastebasket.

After drying up, I headed back to my room and checked my phone.

Three missed calls from Lisa.

Four missed calls from John.

Five missed texts from Hanna.

Three missed texts from Jack.

Four missed calls from Jason.

Two missed calls from mom and dad.

Nothing from Jared.

I felt the tears as they escaped the edges of my eyes and fell in streams down my face. "Emerald!

Emerald, are you awake honey?" I heard my mom yell.

A couple of minutes later, Dad began to yell," Come on Emerald, we know it hard, but you gotta come

out."

"Emmy, you're stronger than this. Come on! You gotta get out,I heard the pained voice of my brother.

Finally, Jason had managed to crawl through my window and bring me some food. "Hey Emmy," he

greeted, his voice soft and gentle, as if afraid to break me some more. I rolled my eyes and pushed him

away, blinking back the tears that were begging to let loose. "Come on Emmy, you've got to eat."

"Go away Jason," I managed to choke out.

"Em, you're so much better than this, you're gonna let some guy do all of this to you?"

I sprang up and looked him dead in the eye," he's not some guy Jason; he was supposed to be my

mate. How would you feel if Amanda was suddenly taken from you by someone else?" That seemed to

shut him up because he placed the tray on the table and left my room. But Monday came faster than I

expected.

I began panicking of course.

Will Jared be there with his new mate?

How will he react when he sees me?

Just thinking about him brought on fresh tears to my eyes that blurred the road from my vision. I tried to

blink them away and only succeeded in increasing them.

I parked my car away from everybody's, as another attempt to avoid them, but the unfortunate

happened.

Jasmine was parking her car just a couple of parking spaces away.

Jared stepped out of her car, smiling lovingly at her. Then Jasmine hugged Jared, who hugged her

back tightly.

I squeezed my eyes shut and looked away, desperate to hold in the tears.

I parked my car, intending to get in the classroom before them so I wouldn't have to watch any longer.

But Jared found me.

I spun on my heel and ran away, determination pumping in my veins.

Not looking where I was going, I bumped into something hard, dropping my books. "Oh uhh sorry," said

a voice.

I looked up to see Blade, alpha of the enemy pack.

Nervous, I muttered," its fine."

We bend down to pick up my books at the same time, bumping heads.

"Sorry," we muttered.

I blushed and picked up my pen.

He handed me my things, his fingers brushing my hand, and without another word, I walked away,

ignorant of the way he looked at me.

Blades POV

I handed her the pen, my fingers brushing her hand and shooting sparks inside of me. It's her.

She's the girl from the cliff.

She must be. They had the same outline of the body, same looking hair...and the same sadness. I

headed into the cafeteria and sat down at our usual table. All the guys were werewolves but all the girls

were human.

I took a seat beside Brittany," what's everybody whispering about?" I asked, thinking of the girls green

eyes that sparkled with imprisoned tears.

She laughed, trailing her finger down my chest. I had the sudden urge to flick it away," haven't you C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

heard?"

"Heard what?"

"You know The Silver Reflections pack?" asked Tom, referring to the enemy pack. "Yeah?"

"The alphas son's girlfriend Emerald something just found out that Jared isn't her mate. And guess

what? His mate is Jasmine, the new girl. They found out the night he turned eighteen. He took her out

on a date and Jasmine was the waitress."

"How do you know," I growled.

"Calm down," he muttered,"

"I heard it from some freshmen. I'm glad she's available now though. She's pretty hot. I wouldn't mind

tapping that."

"She's the enemy pack dude," laughed Eric.

Then I heard a chair being knocked over and watched as the Emerald marched out of the cafeteria. A

couple of minutes later, Jared stood up and followed.

"I'll be right back," I muttered," I forgot something."

I stood up and ran after Jared.

He was standing by the girls' washroom, one leg propped up against the wall, waiting for somebody. I

hid behind the lockers and watched.
