1 Rejected
EVELYN
It was cold outside. The wind picked up and snow was falling heavily. I brushed off the snow from my shirt as I stepped into the pack house. Alpha's have a high body heat so I didn't feel much cold but if an omega or a normal human being stepped out on this cold, they would be freezing till death.
The living room was lively as always, with couples watching TV, chatting, gossiping, and kids running around, It looked happy. Dad always says they are the people we need to protect. Their happiness is what we should protect, that's why the moon goddess made us as, an alpha.
I learned it from him, I learned being alpha doesn't mean we can have all the authority, being alpha means much more than that.
I whistled a random tune and made my way up to the kitchen. I sat on the chair which is placed in the corner and witnessed Nick making food all alone but He didn't notice me when I entered the kitchen he was still back facing me.
"where is Kim.." I asked, Nick startled by my sudden voice. He breathed out before speaking.
"He's in the room, asleep, I overdid him.."
"great.."
To be honest, I'm jealous a bit, not much but a little when I see this couple. Nick is so damn possessive over Kim, He never lets anyone touch him. At times I could see them on the sofa cuddling and kissing endlessly. Nick is a beta, a warrior who always had a grumpy face until he found his mate, I find it fascinating how this grumpy man is so whipped for someone.
I would never know how it feels either, considering the fact I rejected my mate...
Yes, you heard it right, I REJECTED MY MATE.
Some days ago
"Yah, how you feel...happy, curious, excited?" Pete asked me with a huge smile on his face...
"Anxious" I said with a straight face making him sigh, what else did he expect from me. To be honest, I'm damn worried, my anxiety is piled up to an extent that my legs are trembling vigorously. I took a sip of the drink I was holding.
"I don't know Pete, what if he is a bad person, what if..." Pete cut off my words with a huge sigh.
"Lyn...trust me, everything will be alright..."
"60 seconds more...."
"50..."
"30 seconds more..."
"20 seconds...."
"10"
"9"
"8"
"7"
"6"
"5"
"4"
"3"
"2"
"1"
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY Evelyn....." my family and friends shouted together making a smile form on my lips. My heart is racing in anticipation and nervousness.
"Happy birthday Lyn..." my cousin Kim greeted me with a toothy grin. "Thanks, Kim.."
"Babe...I was searching for you..." Nick entered the scene from nowhere and pecked Kim's lips. The peck soon turned into a kiss.
"Geez, get a room..." Pete said in a disgusted tone. The couple's gaze turned towards Pete they stared at him like they gonna rip him apart, No one dares to enter into this couple's mess.
Before they could burn him with their eyes, I saved Pete and walked to the food court.
"so.....You feel something...?" Pete whispered in my ears...
"No..." I shook my head, I didn't feel a thing but nervousness...
After an hour...
"Evelyn...." My father mind linked me, mind link is the things used by the wolves to communicate with the members of their pack.
"Yes alpha" I replied
"Alpha of moon shine pack is here, come and say your greetings..." my father said through mind link making me sigh.
Pete noticed the sudden change in my mood, "what's wrong? Is he here?"
"Why the fuck should I meet him, I mean it was my important day can't he leave me at least today, he knows I can't stand him but still he decided to show his face-" he tried hard to control his laugh but failed, that jerk Zayn pisses me off.
"lyn" My father mind linked me again.
"Coming, dad" I stomped my feet before going there.
When I neared there. "Happy birthday Evelyn" Rick, alpha of the moon shine pack and also the father of Zayn said but my attention wasn't on him but the man near him.
'Mate' my wolf squealed.
I started at the man in front of me with widened eyes. Why the fuck he is standing here.
I felt it, OMG what I am even feeling, my heart began to beat like crazy, my inner wolf howled in delight, I could feel a strong scent of musk and chocolate, it feels so good. A blush crept on my cheeks.
It was ZAYN. He smirked looking at my expression. "lyn... what's wrong" my father said through my mind link.
"Huh..hmm..thank you alpha, Rick.." I said moving my gaze towards him.
"alpha Rick. If you don't mind, can I steal that jerk...." I bit my tongue, sometimes I do speak truth unknowingly "I mean zayn for a minute..." I said with an awkward smile. Alpha Rick smiled at me and nodded...
I took Zayn to one of the rooms and locked it.
"Don't you think you are too impatient m'lady..." Zayn said smirking.
"Shut the fuck up...you did this right?" I asked furiously. The thing that is happening right now is not funny.
"What?" He questioned me with his large Bambi eyes, Those blue eyes sparkled, something in those eyes makes me feel like I wanna drown in those eyes forever. I shook off my thoughts and continued arguing.
"I know this can't be true, is it some kind of prank" I was scared, if he dares to pull on some pranks on this, I would definitely kill him with my own hands. Who thought the person who I fought with, almost through my entire life will be my mate.
"That's what even I thought first, but you know.." he slowly came towards me and took a hold of my wrist a tingling sensation, a spark sent through my body, and my inner wolf howled in pleasure.
"You feel it too right?" he said as I yanked my hand.
"But does it even make sense, we both are alpha's..." I said and Zayn shrugged. Alpha's always love dominance. Most of the Alpha's get omega's or beta's as their mates. Alpha and alpha mates, omega and omega mates are so rare.
"Since you are my mate, I want to present you something...." My eyes widened guessing what it is. He's gonna reject me, he's really gonna reject me. Who wouldn't, I always fought with him even for the smallest things. 'DO IT FIRST' my instinct said. My pride will never allow me to get rejected first, even if we reject our mates, I'll do it first.
Zayn was about to say something but I stopped him showing my palms, "I-I know what you are gonna do...b-but I can't lose..."
Did I hate him...No...Did I wanna reject him...No...but...
[ she didn't know in the game of ego losers always win ]
ego-1 & love-0
"I Evelyn of blue moon pack reject Zayn the future alpha of moon shine pack as my mate...." I breathed out, a smile on his face got wiped off he stood like a robot with no emotions...
But suddenly his breathing became heavy, He looked at me with teary eyes, his eyes showed pain but I turned to go blind even though my heart ached to see him like that.
"What you waiting for reject me..." I said as my throat began to hurt, I was holding back myself from crying at that point.
"It hurts...will you be okay?" His sentence made my pain double, he cares for me.., It's hard already and he's making it twice harder. I nodded, and a single drop of tear left my eyes unknowingly...
"Do you hate me that much Evelyn...you want to reject your mate...If that's what you want, I'll give you that too" His words were broken and the pain was evident in his voice.
"I-"
"I Zayn the future alpha of the moon shine pack reject Evelyn of blue moon pack as mate..." He finished his sentence, A sharp pain went through my chest, a feeling like a thousand needles poking through my heart, making me fall to the ground, I placed my hand on my chest, I felt like my insides were bleeding...
He slowly came towards me and helped me to stand, he wiped my tears on the cheek. Please don't do this, please don't.
"You never bothered to hear me out...but still can you let me give my present..." His voice broke multiple times. I looked him in his eyes, his eyes showed the emotions, I never noticed all these years.
He slowly kissed me, a soft kiss just letting our lips touch. I was stunned to do anything, I didn't want this to end. I didn't want to let him go. He leaned back breaking the kiss, but I yearned for more...
He stumbled his way out while I stood on the cold floor, guilt eating me alive. I know I was wrong, I know I can't redo what's already done. Only if I tried to put my ego and my pride away for once, only if I tried to listen to him... Things won't be turning like this.
I made a fool out of myself, I thought I could live without him but for how long I can lie to myself. I want him again, I want to hold him tightly and never let him go again, would I ever get a second chance.
PRESENT
"Nick..." I called him, he hummed while continuing his work...
"Forget it.." I dropped the idea, He abruptly stopped what he was doing and stood in front of me.
"Just say it.."
"I..." I hesitated to say it out loud.
"Don't scream or yell okay, hear it out first. My mate and I rejected each other..." I said he was shocked what else did I expect him to react.
"You did what...you rejected each other.." he said calmly more like trying to register this in his mind. I sighed and nodded.
"but-" he paused his sentence.
"but what?"
"you seem fine..." I nodded cause I'm completely fine.
"How do you feel when you see him..." he enquired. How do I feel?
"I feel good...his scent is making me feel so calm, whenever I glance at him I feel like...like I wanna hug him so bad.." I said without rethinking much, he smiled.
"You guys are still mates..." he concluded.
"wait, what, how is it even possible..." I asked him utterly confused. I really felt the pain when he rejected me, I know he felt it too. Is it possible to get a second chance, I never know that
"My friend's mate rejected her after that She couldn't even walk for months, she fell into depression and tried really hard to come out of it, but you are completely fine....maybe you didn't really wanna reject him..." he spoke a really long sentence maybe this is the longest one he spoke this year.
"Lyn, I'll see you later. My babe woke up, he just mind linked me...I'll go give him food" he said and placed the food on the tray.
"I feel lonely without Pete, should I stay in your room.." I asked him and he stared at me for a minute...
"This is why you are single.."
"Dude, How could you rub salt into my wounds like that? Are you a psychopath..." I asked in disbelief.
"We couple have a lot of things to do together and I don't want you to third wheel in our sweet moments...." he said in a duh tone before leaving me alone.
"This guy is a jerk" I huffed
A part of me feels relieved knowing we are still mates but a part of me is worried about how would he react, I rejected him pretty badly. I already hurt him a lot what if I do that again...
