Runt Of The Pack

Chapter 7

Mason's POV

*****************

I was sitting in the corner of the room with some friends when I smelt it. The most irresistible, sweetest smell in the world. It was coming off of a girl heading towards the door. Her hair fell to her shoulder in silky deep brown waves, she was skinny, but you could see she was also strong. I can't help but feel drawn to her. My wolf is urging me to follow her so I do, weaving through the people until I was right behind her. I reached out and grabbed her elbow and felt jolts of pleasure run up my arm and throughout my body.

"Our mate! " my wolf roars in my mind "that's our mate!"

She slowly turns, and I freeze in shock.

"L-Leah?!" I manage to gasp out. I find myself reliving all of the horrible things I did to her before she moved, only this time with the knowledge that she's my mate. Each tear I caused to run down her face in the entire time I knew her stabs a deeper pain into my chest. I had hurt my mate. And why? I never truly had a problem with Leah, I had actually always thought she was really cute. But she was a runt, and because of my idiotic desire to fit in, I had hurt her.

She's shaking her head slowly, and she pulls her arm out of my grasp.

"Don't touch me Mason." she whispers, her eyes are filled with anger and hatred.

"Leah I-"

she turns away from me and starts running, the pain in my chest grows ten fold.

"Go after her!" my wolf snarls in my mind, and I start running, following the scent that had led me to her. She's disappearing into the forest as I make it out of the house, and I push myself to go faster. I can't lose her. I follow her for what feels like forever until I track her scent out of the woods and onto a beach. Looking around I see a small dark haired girl sitting with her knees pulled up to her chest... she was crying. I run towards her, and she looks up, tears pouring down her face still.

"GET AWAY FROM ME MASON!" She screams, the words like knives to my chest.

I drop to my knees beside her.

"Leah.." I gasp out, my voice filled with pain.

"she's going to reject us.." I whisper to my wolf in my mind. He growls.

"no. She is OURS, we won't let her." he snarls in my mind.

"Just go away.." Leah whimpers, her voice filled with so much pain it hurt me, "I already know your going to reject me.... You didn't have to follow me to tell me..."

Her voice breaks on the word reject, and I am filled with a deep confusion.

ME, reject HER? Why would she eve- oh no... She must think I hate her... After how I used to treat her...

"Leah," I whisper, leaning forwards and wrapping my arms around her. She freezes, but she doesn't flinch away.

"Leah... I would never reject you..." I whisper, holding her to me tightly, "I thought you would want to reject me.. all of the things I said... That I did... I... I'm so sorry Leah.." My voice breaks on the last word, and I bury my face in her neck as tears start to drip down my face.

"Why?" she whispers, "Why would you want me Mason? I'm ugly.. and... and I'm nothing more then a weak runt...I don't... I don't deserve you... you're the future beta and I... I'm nothing.. "

Her words break my heart, how could she not see how beautiful she is?

"Leah, you are the most beautiful girl I have ever laid eyes on. I have always thought so... Even though I was too scared of being ridiculed for liking you to admit it. Leah, you are my mate. There is no way I could ever not want you." I say slowly.

"Mason..." she whispers, "I can't be your mate... I-"

she doesn't get another word out before I move my face so my mouth is on her neck. I tighten my arms so she can't move.

I will NOT let her reject me.

"Mason.." her voice is filled with fear, "Mason what are you doing?!"

"You. Are. MINE!" I growl, I can't help but wonder whether it's me or my wolf in charge.

"Mason.. Mason please.." she whimpers, "Mason I'm not ready... Please don't.."

I open my mouth, letting my teeth brush against her delicate skin.

"I won't let you reject me." I whisper against her neck.

"Mason I'm not rejecting you!" she cries out, just as I'm about to claim her.

I slowly pull my mouth off of her neck.

"Your not?" I ask slowly, my arms still tightly around her as I realize how scared she looks. She's shaking uncontrollably, and I feel horrid.

"No..." she whimpers, "I.. I was trying t-to tell you that I'm not w-worthy of being your m-mate.."

i loosen my arms around her.

"I'm so sorry..." I whisper in horror.

She opens her mouth to speak when I smell them. Turning, I find we're surrounded by at least 20 rogues. Well fuck.
