The Rejected Mate

Chapter 14

Alec's P.O.V

"He's been like this for too long. My baby has never acted this way doctor, help him please." I heard my mum plead. I should have felt at least the slightest amount of guilt but my body was numb and emotionless. 

The fact that I had nearly killed myself infuriates me so much because I couldn't believe how stupid I was to actually try something like that. But put your self in my shoes, my pain and you would have been long gone.

Also I have no idea why I hadn't died. There was silver in the bottle so taking it out would have killed me. But somehow its gone and a huge bandage wrapped around my stomach. I blankly stared at the wall throughout the entire day. My mind going wild.

"Mrs. Wilson he is extremely depressed. It's actually surprising he hasn't already killed himself. Besides that the only sign of his wolf is it's weak heartbeat." The pack doctor also known as Dominic, explained to my worried mother.

Several times my mum, dad, Ashton, and my younger sister had come to visit me in the hospital. I only spoke simple words or even didn't speak at all. My sister, Avery and my father had been taking care of pack business while I was in these white walled prison.

"He's lucky to be alive ma'm. A large amount of silver was found in his system. Luckily he was brought here in time and we were able to remove it all. But he is suffering internal bleeding which will be taken care of in his final days here." Dominic said once again. With a final check up on my health he waved and left the room leaving my mum and I alone in silence.

"What's going on Alec?" My mum whispered. Her grey stormy orbs bloodshot with tears. I sighed and stared at her with a pained expression. I wanted to tell her. My mum was my best friend and she was always there whenever I needed her. Keeping such a secret from her made my chest tighten.

As much as I wanted to at least talk to her, I couldn't my lips were sealed.

silence

"Why are you acting like this? Did we do something? Can we help you? Baby please say something." She cried. My entire being hurt hearing my mum like this. Silence followed her outburst. 

"God damn it Alexander Wilson! All we are trying to do is help and all you are doing is treating us as if we had just ruined your life. What the hell is wrong with you!" She shrieked. Her chest was heaving up and down. I could feel her anger growing.

That's it I had to tell her.

"M-M" I began. She looked at me. A hopeful look in her eyes but they still looked angry. It pained me to say this. It felt like thousands of bee's stabbing at my heart.

"M-M" I stammered again. My mum's frustration was clear on her face. I wanted my mum to be the first one I would tell other than Ashton.

"Spit it out."She growled. I almost laughed at her anxiousness. But this was a way to serious time to be laughing.

"M-Mate." I whispered. My eyes traveled to my lap. I felt guilt and shame wash over my body.

Oh how horrid I feel. This kind of pain should be illegal. My mind drifted to my angel. Was she ok? Would she come back? Who am I kidding, she's probably happily married or the mother of another man's pups.

I guess my mum saw my gloomy expression because her angry mood seemed to disappear.

"What about your mate. Oh you found her! Alec is that why you aren't talking? Why? Oh honey we'll support you through anything." My mum blabbered. Oh if only she knew. A tear burned it's way down my left cheek which stopped my mum.

"Alec?" 

She's going to hate me for this but she is just dying to know right?

"Left. Pack. Rejected." I whispered. Small words was only way I could really talk about this touchy  subject.

"Baby No! She rejected you? Oh my love don't you worry, we'll find you a second mate. Maybe the Moon Goddess just made a mistake! Thats why you are so sad. Oh that mutt." She muttered as she squished me into a hug.

If this is how she feels over the fact that my mate rejected me, imagine what she'll say about the truth.

"No mum. I rejected her. Big mistake. Can't believe how stupid I was. I'm going crazy." I admitted. Her eyes widened and she realized me from the hug to look at me dead in the eye. The truth in my eye's showed her that I was indeed telling the truth.

"No. Oh my God." 

"Alexander please tell me you are lying and this is a joke." She pleaded. My mum knew the horrific feeling you experienced when you are rejected. My dad rejected her on accident thinking she had purposely kissed a man in front of him when she knew they were mates. But after it was all cleared up she had forgiven him and they accepted each other as mates. 

I shook my head and closed my eyes. A stinging pain erupted on my cheek.

I shrieked in pain and realized my mum just slapped me!

"Who? Tell me who so I can decide If I can slap you again or not." My mum growled. Her eyes now pitch black.

"K-Kendall." I squeaked. Instantly her eyes widened and her nostrils flared. A life threatening growl escaping her snarling lips. Her small hand swung again and hit me again with much more force than I had ever seen my mother muster.

My cheeks flamed after she had dropped her hand.

"ALEC HOW COULD YOU! YOU KNEW SHE WAS EMOTIONALLY BROKEN! HER PARENTS DIED FOR GOD'S SAKE ,WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? OH THAT'S IT I'M GOING TO KILL YOU." She screamed.

I whimpered and dropped my head. Tears again left my eyes. My mum's face instantly softened at the action.

"Oh baby I'm sorry. This is just a lot to take in. Woah. Ok don't worry if you are truly mated than nature will have it's way and she'll come back. Just like me and your father. Okay?" She cooed. I nodded keeping my head low.

"But I need you to promise me one thing Alec. Step up. Get back on your feet baby, it pains us to see you like this. Although you'll still be hurting, now you have a pack to take care of. If she does come back you don't want her to see you like this do you? Okay baby I'll be back tomorrow. I love you." With a final kiss she left me alone with my thoughts.

She's right. I'll be damned if this pack gets anywhere near danger. I will step up. For Kendall.
