Rejected For My Secrets

Chapter 11

Chapter 11

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

The irritating sound of my alarm clock woke me up from my sleep. Ugh! I don’t want to go to school! Today, I have to confess to Hunter that I’m pregnant. Plus, I still have to deal with the Alex drama. What did he mean last night by saying ‘I’ll be back’? I don’t want him to come back. I made it clear that I don’t want to reveal my secrets to him, and yet, he still wants to find out.

I removed the blanket from over me, and got up, feeling the cold air on my skin, making me shiver, I hugged myself tightly, wishing that I can go back to my warm bed and forget about school. But sadly, I can’t do that.

I walked to the bathroom and looked at the mirror. Damn, I look like shit in the mornings! I took a shower and wrapped a towel around myself and another one around my hair. I wore skinny blue jeans and a grey ‘Stay Calm’ hoodie.  I dried my hair and brushed it, leaving it untied. Then I applied the usual make up; blush, eyeliner, and mascara. I looked myself in the mirror once again, now that I’ve fixed myself. I looked presentable.

I went downstairs, grabbed a pretzel, and walked out the door. My dad already went to his work, and Sarah will just go in her car. I could go in my car, but I’ll just wait for when winter comes and it starts raining. Autumn just started a few weeks ago, so I think I’m safe. I usually walk to school; it’s only a fifteen minute walk. I felt the air nipping at my cheeks, turning them red.

When I finally arrived to school, I looked at my watch. I still have five minutes to go to Chemistry class, so I might as well just go now. When I reached the class, I sat down at my usual place, next to a guy named Ashton, smiling at him while doing so. He has tried to ask me out a few times, but I always rejected him. He’s hot and nice, but at that time, I had Hunter. If I wasn’t pregnant right now, I would’ve given him a go.

The hours before Lunch dragged on, and for once, I was actually grateful for that. As Lunch time was nearing, the butterflies in my stomach were multiplying. I had to talk to Hunter now.

I walked in the cafeteria, and headed to the popular’s table. Yes, ever since I left Hunter, he’s been hanging out with them. When I neared the table, Nicole got up from her seat.

“What do you think you’re doing here?” She sneered.

“None of your business” I snapped, then I turned to Hunter, and said “I need to talk to you.”

“Why?” He asked, snottily.

“Just get up! This is serious shit that I need to say!”

“Why don’t you just say it here?” He challenged. Wrong move, bro.

“I don’t think you’d really appreciate me saying that in front of your fake friends.” I replied, glaring. He glared back, but gut up nevertheless, and followed me to the hall.

Now that he’s actually here, I was starting to with that I didn’t drag him here.

“HunterI’mpregnant.” I said, quickly.

“What?”

“Hunter, I’m pregnant.” I said, a little slower this time.

“Wow, you moved on fast. Why are you telling me this?”

“It’s yours.”

I watched as shock registered his face. He sucked in a deep breath.

“Are you keeping it?” He asked.

“Yes.”

“I need time to think about this.” He said and turning around, he walked away. He didn’t head back to the cafeteria though. He went out if the school door.

I went back inside and this time, I headed to my usual table, next to Casey and Lance. But, I actually found another girl sitting there. I recognized her from Chemistry class: Danielle.

“Uh, hey.” I said politely.

“Hailey, this is Danielle, my mate.” Lance said, grinning happily. I dropped my mouth in shock. I felt a little jealous because he got his mate, but I refused to acknowledge that.

“Hey Danielle.” I said, smiling. I needed to be polite and make her feel welcome.

“Hey” She replied. Danielle is actually pretty. Her face is tanned with not much make up, her hair is super dark brown and frizzy, and her body is one of a model. Of course her body is perfect, she is captain of the dance team! But she isn’t one of those snobby and bitchy team captains that you’d expect her to be. She is actually nice and funny.

The bell rang, and before I even attempted to go to class, someone grabbed my arm. I looked back, confused to find Casey.

“How did he take it?” Oh.

“He said he needed time to think about it, and left. It’s okay though” I replied, shrugging my shoulders nonchalantly, acting as if it didn’t bother me, but it actually did. I didn’t expect him to hold his arms out to me after breaking up with him, but I didn’t expect this. I don’t know what I was expecting actually. I guess I just wanted him to help me out with this.

The rest of the day passed quickly, and I avoided Alex the whole time. But when I reached my house, I saw his car passing by. He rolled down the window and looked at me.

“Didn’t your dad tell you that you are eating at our place today?” He asked, smirking. I shook my head. “Well, now you know. Come on.”

I went over to their house and greeted their dad. He led us to the dining table, and I took a seat. Alex sat next to me and I glared at him while he smiled innocently at me. That jerk. I don’t get it! He’s the one that rejected me! And now he’s acting all innocent and nice with me. And a few hours later, I’m pretty sure he’ll try to make me tell him my secrets and get mad at me again. Is he bipolar?

Dinner was normal, and my dad and Alpha Bob once again talked about the murders. My dad still has no information about the murderer, and this case is hopeless. Then, Alpha Bob suddenly said:

“Our Pack is hopeless. But we would’ve been stronger if Alex has his mate by his side. Sadly we still haven’t found her.”

I looked over at Alex to check his reaction, and noticed he had a guilty look on his face before he covered it up with a blank stare.

“Yeah, I still didn’t find her.” He said. That brought up the whole pain of the rejection back. The leg of my chair scraped the floor as I got out of my seat and ran out of the house. I ran and ran, tears streaming down my face. I transformed into my wolf, and loved the feel of running between the trees. I hadn’t let her out for a while. My wolf is pure white, which is a rare kind.

I ran for a couple of minutes, but I know that I ran a lot because I’m a fast runner. I reached a huge oak tree and transformed back to human. I sat down and rested my back on the tree, not caring that I’m fully naked. I know that they are all wondering why I had run of like that. I know that they will start do doubt that something is going on between me and Alex. I know that I’ll never hear the end of it with him. I know that I will be in trouble because I disobeyed his order. He is my Alpha after all.

I didn’t notice how long I stayed there, just thinking, but it was starting to get dark. I didn’t want to go back to my house. My dad and Sarah will worry about me, but I didn’t care. At this moment, I didn’t care about anything. I started dosing off, and fell into a dreamless sleep.
