I laid still on my bed in my Mickey mouse pyjamas, staring at my white ceiling. It's been three days since my "mate" disgraced me and my parents in the presence of other packs. My wolf hasn't spoken a single word to me since that very day and I haven't stepped out of my room since that day either, apart from being hurt I couldn't face my parents knowing that I'm the reason they were embarrassed by a beta, even tho they are an Alpha and a Luna.

I've tried to understand what I could have possibly done wrong to get that type of treatment, I mean he hasn't met me before to judge me so quickly. He was meant to love and protect me but instead he chose to hurt and embarrass me, and that was something I couldn't understand. It honestly broke something in me, it crashed every single fantasy I had about meeting my mate.

Tears began to well up in my eyes as I kept reminiscing on the events of that very day, I quickly tilted my head upwards and took a deep breath. I promised myself that I won't cry for him, not after what he did.

"Pick me! Pick me uppp!" My phone blared from the bedstand I kept it on, I picked it up and switched off my phone without looking at the caller ID. My friends have been calling and texting me but I don't have the strength to interact or explain myself right now, I'd rather lay down here and wallow in my self pity.

"Selene? Elene?" I heard my mother's voice call out softly as she knocked on my door, she and my father has been knocking everyday on my door but I just couldn't open up. I can't bear to look at their faces and not burst into tears.

"Please Selene, it's been three days already. We're worried about you, please open up" my mum called out softly and I let the tears roll down my eyes.

"Selene, I'm going to break down the door if you don't open up right now" I heard my dad say, trying to sound firm and strict but I could sense how worried he was. I want to open up, I badly want to but..

"Open the door" my wolf said in the weakest voice I've ever heard and I gasped, it felt foreign to hear her voice in my head again especially when it's filled with pain.

I sluggishly walked to the door and unlocked it, my mum immediately opened the door and pulled me into her arms "you poor thing" she muttered as she stroked my afro curls; that I haven't washed or combed in days, softly. That single act triggered me and I hugged my mum back tighter and sobbed, letting my tears out.

"It's okay, it's okay baby" she said and continuously stroked my hair, I pulled away from the hug and wiped away my tears.

"I'm so sorry mum and Dad, you people got humiliated because of me. I'm truly sorry" I apologized while sniffling and twisting the hems of my PJs.  My dad walked up to me and hugged me tightly

"It's not your fault, okay? You have nothing to apologise for" he said and I nodded my head, tears still trailing down my cheeks. "Umm.. sweetheart, have you atleast taken your bathe these past three days?" I shyly shook my head, making my dad step away from me " I think you should"

Mum immediately slapped his shoulder "Hey!!" She turned towards me with a smile on her face "don't mind your dad okay? We'll be going downstairs, take your bathe and come eat okay?" My mum said trying to play the whole bathing thing cool while pushing my dad out of the room, while he constantly muttered "what if she closes it again?"

I walked back to my bed and sat down, I know I should stop thinking and wondering what went wrong but I just can't. It honestly hurts so much, he was ready to reject me right there and I don't know why; he never gave a proper reason.

I wiped away the stray tears that made it's way to my face before I walked into the bathroom and took a very proper bathe. I put on my white hoodie paired with grey joggers, took my phone off the bed stand and walked downstairs to meet my parents.

"You're here, take a seat" my mum said as she dished out the food she was making, and by the smell of it, it's pasta. My stomach growled aggressively and I hid my face in embarrassment, I haven't eaten anything in three days and my stomach wasn't trying to hide that fact.

"Here you go" my mum said placing the plate of food before me

"Thanks mum" I immediately dived into the food, shoving it down my throat in an unladylike manner. "Do you want more?" I quickly nodded my head, passing my plate to my mum who filled it up again, this time I ate slower and properly.

"That was so good, thanks mum" I thanked my mum, patting my stomach happily.

"So... What do you plan on doing today?" Dad asked passing a quick glance to mum. I slowly dropped my hand from my stomach to the table, for a moment I thought everything was a dream but who was I fooling and, right now I've decided to not act like a pitiful being.

"Well, I plan on actually replying and clearing my phone inbox them meet up with some my friends. I'll train when I get back in the evening" I said and my parents gave me a bright smile, they both reached for my hands and squeezed it.

"That's good hun, we are proud of you. We know you'll definitely figure this whole thing out" Mum said and I nodded with a smile, but I honestly doubt I'll figure it all out.

"Alright mum, I'll be going upstairs now. Call me if you need me" I stood up from my chair, picked my phone up and rushed upstairs.

I got to my room and put on my phone, I had tons of messages from my 4 best friends, lots of news headlines with my name plastered on it, Instagram tags asking me questions about it and I also got lots of emails from TV stations.

"This isn't meant to be a big deal! Why are they blowing this out of proportion? Ugh, werewolves don't know when to let things go now do they?"

"I doubt it's the werewolves, probably the humans poking around on the were's business" my wolf; Eliana, spoke angrily and I nodded in agreement. It was probably the humans.

I cleared the news headlines not bothering to check any of them, as for the Instagram questions and Interview requests; I'll handle them later.

I then quickly texted my friends in our groupchat,

Me: Meet me up at sunshine cafe in 40 minutes.

Stacy: Girll!! You're alive, sure.

Malcom: on my way.

Dave; coming with Lucy.

I read the messages and went to my closet to find something decent to wear out. I brought out a blue ripped jeans to change into, I decided to stick with my white hoodie it was pretty cold outside anyway.

I combed my hair making the afro curls pop, applied a lipgloss, put my phone, keys and card into  my bag and then went downstairs. "I'll be going now" I said to my parents who were hanging out in the living room

"Alright hun, have fun"

"I will" I said and opened the door but halted "can you please get it out that, I will be giving my official announcement on the rejection issue on Friday?" My parents exchanged a quick glance and slowly nodded their head, looking at me wide eyed.

"Thanks, love you" I said and dashed out, heading straight to the garage.
