He rejected me?

**Layla**

  "I can explain", Luke said, giving me a smile. Why did he lie to me? I could feel my anger boiling as I give him a death glare. Turning back towards Blake, I half way expected him to leave me to talk with Luke and Amy. He proved me wrong, as he started to make his way over to us, stumbling a little as he walked. Blake put a shaky hand on my shoulder, causing sparks to fly through me, the action made my anger come to a controllable speed and I mentally thanked Blake for the calming feeling.

  Staring back at Luke, it took everything in me not to reach out and slap that smug look off his face. "How could you lie to me and tell me you hadn't found your mate when you obviously have?" Luke brought his hand to the back of his head, scratching it before giving me a nervous smile. "Look, I can explain, I rejected her for you. It was my job to keep you safe and I couldn't do that with a clingy mate at my side. I did it for you." All I could do was stare at him with a shocked expression on my face. The image of Blake rejecting me flashed through my mind and how it made me feel. At the same time confusion filled me. "If you rejected her, what were you doing in the woods with her?" Amy decided to jump into the conversation. "I was chasing him, he went for a run and I followed him. He was just trying to get rid of me." Amy said, giving me a fake frown. I could tell she was lying, but I decided to let it go. "Well I'm sorry he rejected you. That was an idiot move and trust me when I tell you, I know how you feel. I hope you can forgive me, seeing as I am the reason he rejected you."

  Shock filled Luke and Amys faces. I guess they didn't expect me to act so calmly about this whole situation. But on the other hand I wasn't born yesterday and I know somethings up. Even though on some level, I do trust Luke, I could defanity see that he is not the person I thought he was. I am surly going to have to keep an eye on him and Amy. Blake slurred something into my ear and I couldn't decifer what he said. I dismissed Amy and Luke and me and Blake startes to make our way back to the bench.

  Luke started to protest, saying he needed to talk to me. I gave him a reassuring smile, telling him that things were fine ans that we could discuss this later. He reluctantly gave into me and went back into the house, Amy trailing behind him. Blake took my hand and pulled me down to sit beside him. "Youu know theyy weree lyingg rightt" Blake said, bringing his lips to my ear. "Yeah, I know, but I didn't want them to know that, I am just going to give it some time. The truth will come out eventually." Blake's expression went from a cool smirk to a look of worry. "I-I don't want you to get hurt." Blake seemed to be sobering up and his response angered me and shocked me all at once. "If that was the case you wouldn't have hurt me so many years ago and yet again this morning when you basically rejected me again." Tears threatened to pour from my eyes, and I got up and walked away before they had a chance to fall.

  I made my way around the back of the house and stoped at a small creek that lined the trees. The smell of fresh moss filled my nose and I smiled at the scent. Feeling nature all around me, I felt almost at peace. Today has been stressful and honestly, this is exactly what I needed. Peace and alone time. I stare up at the moon and think of the moon goddess. I don't normally come to her for guidance but right now I could use it. "I know I haven't been your favorite daughter, but I sure could use some guidance, I feel so lost godest, how am I suppose to do this, my dads gone, and my mom is a mess, and  I haven't barley had time to help her. Luke is acting werid, and he rejected his mate, for me. I don't even know if I believe that. And worst of all, I started to think Blake was starting to come around, I mean he will probably always be a jerk, but when we kissed, I thought he...well I thought he might have some sort of feelings for me."

  Tears once again threatened to spill from my eyes and I pushed them back. 'You are right to dought Luke, my daughter.' I spun around so fast I am sure I gave myself whiplash. My eyes met a pair of ghostly grey one and I lost my breath. Standing there in all her glory was the moon goddess herself. She wore a pure white gown that flowed to the ground, showing off her amazing curvy body. A bright golden light shined as bright as the sun behind her. She flowed towards me and motioned for me to stand up. I bowed to her and she let out a smooth laugh. "That's not needed my daughter, I am here to give you some guidance." Smiling at her, I started to feel confused. "Goddest, why can't I trust Luke? "He is just not trustworthy, I will not tell you anymore, just keep a close eye on my son. He has lost his way and so has his mate." Feeling even more confused, she gave me a reassuring smile that showed off her amazingly bright white teeth.
