In Denial

Chapter 24

The one person I rely on and now look what has happened.

Why did I fall for him so fast?

He has been knocking at the door for the last fifteen minutes.

“Do you want me to let him in?” Mom asked coming into my room.

“No thanks.” I said sadly.

“Why not? What happened?” She asked.

“Mom, I really don’t want to talk about it.”

“Ally, we haven’t had a good conversation in over two years.”

“And whose fault is that?” I asked coldly.

“Please tell me.” She pleaded.

“Mom, you wouldn’t understand.” I sighed.

“I know that your life is a lot different than mine, you being a werewolf and all, but if you tried and explain it I will listen.” She promised.

“How long do you have?”

“How long you need me for.” She said sit4ting down on my bed.

Well, at least she already knows about werewolves so maybe I can try and tell her what is going on with my sham of a life.

“Well, we werewolves have a special someone out there, a mate, fate puts us together.”

“And is that boy outside your mate?” Mom asked.

“Let me get to that part.” I snapped.

“OK, sorry.” She said holding her hands up.

“No, he is not my mate, Jason is.” I admitted.

“No way!” She gasped.

“Mom calm down.” I said.

“OK.”

“Well, Jason and I got into a fight, a few weeks ago and he went back to his ex-girlfriend. Then, Dylan came along and showed me that someone could love me for me. But Jason’s girlfriend is Dylan’s mate and she rejected him.” I was cut off by my mom.

“What is that?” She asked.

“I don’t really know how to explain it but it is when one mate tells the other that they don’t want to be with the other. They say something like ‘I reject you.’ And that kind of makes the bond between the two weaken. This means that it won’t hurt when one mates with someone else.” I explained.

“OK, I kind of get it.” She said still looking a little confused.

“Right well, Dylan asked me to be his girlfriend a few days ago so I said yes. Then, I kind of rejected Jason because Natasha really loves him and I don’t want anyone to get hurt. And then yesterday at this party,” I swallowed a big lump in my throat,” Someone tried to rape me.” My mom gasped.

“WHAT?!” She screeched.

“No mom it is OK, I punched him before he could.”

“It still matters he tried to rape you.”

“MOM! Calm down please.” I pleaded.

“But we need to go to the police.”

“Nothing happened and anyway I don’t know who it was.” I said.

“Finish your story but I am not going to let this lie.” She threatened.

“Fine! Anyway, after that happened I left, on my own. I left Dylan at the party. And when we went for a walk he told me that he is fully mated with Natasha. There is no going back from that.” I said with tear strolling freely down my face.
