Rejected.

A note from me to you:

First here is an excerpt of a new story I am working on. I've attached a sneak peak of the first chapter. Let me know what you think and whether you'd be interested in reading this new book.
.....

Her body collided with his in a tangle of arms and legs. She felt emotion rush through her entire being. Hatred, desire, blood lust. Emotions that were so foreign to her yet consumed her, defining the very essence of her being. She lost herself in his black eyes. Literally. All she was aware of was the darkness of his soul that stretched for miles and miles, never ending, never fading. If the girl were not so consumed she would have heard the guns and drones that were the very reason she had stumbled into the arms of a stranger, she would have heard her sister's cries of grief and remembered that she was on a quest, she would have looked down at her own to hands and realised that she had only ever sacrificed in her life and such immense feelings of hatred were beyond her capabilities.

Reality came hurling towards her just as the angry mob had, just moments ago. As she pushed herself from the arms of the stranger she momentarily cursed her gift. The gift that gave her the ability to see within people, to the very core of their soul

Please do comment telling me what you think:).

I, William Grant, reject you as my mate"

"I, Shanan Falls, accept your rejection."

- Four years later.

I'm all alone in the apartment I share with my best friend Neena but the scent I smell is off and I instantly know there's an intruder in the apartment. I hear noises and the sound of footsteps approaching and know that I only have a few minutes to make my escape. I look out of my bedroom window, the drop to the ground is only a few feet, nothing me and my wolf can't handle, so without a second thought I jump.

Run, run as fast as you can you can't catch me I'm super wolf- yeah only my brain would conjure up something so stupid in a life or death situation like this- so caught up in my stupid thoughts I run into something 'way to go super wolf' I think to myself. I look up expecting to see a really built tree but instead I see.... Wait for it....

"You jerk what are you doing here!" That's right I see a jerk and not just any jerk but the jerk who rejected me four years back, yup that's right ladies and gentlemen I was face to face with my mate and was stopping to have a not so friendly conversation in a life or death scenario.

"I see someone missed me" he said with a wink. God he looked better than I remembered, if that was even possible. He had green eyes and black hair and don't even get me started on the muscles, he was so hot he made my blue eyes and blonde hair look dull in comparison but unfortunately for him hotness doesn't make up for jerkiness, well at least not in my books.

"Yeah over my dead body" I muttered and that's when I realised that my words might just come true if I stayed here while there could be some crazy killer after me. Man I hated how your mate could make you forget everything.

"As much as I love fighting with you, I'm kind of busy running from the killer in my apartment" yeah, yeah I know the stranger in my apartment might not be a killer but in my defence they could be!

"Killer?" I watched his expression change from one of annoying, cockiness to protectiveness. I guess I had to give him some credit, albeit at times he could be a jerk but, when it came to my safety he always put me first.

"Relax I doubt it's actually a killer" I said trying to calm down his wolf. Yeah I know I sounded all mushy and in love when I said he put me and my safety first but I bet that was just his wolf and not Will, himself.

"And you want me to risk your life by letting you stay in an apartment that could have a killer in it?" Man he sounded outraged, usually this would have made me happy because it would have meant I succeeded in annoying him but instead I was the one annoyed.

"Look you don't get to tell me what to do!" I snapped at him and maybe I had been a bit harsh but he didn't get to reject me and then expect me to be all sweet and peachy towards him.

"Shan-" I cut him off before he could continue

"Just leave me alone" I said as I began walking away, and then as a second thought I added "and for the record even if there is some killer at my house he could never hurt me the way you hurt me when you rejected me four years back" I saw pain and what I assumed to be regret flash through his eyes before he quickly masked. My wolf scolded me for hurting our mate but he deserved to know how much he has hurt us.

"Shan-" he began to speak but I cut him off once more

"No don't apologise I'm over it now" I said

"I wasn't going to apologise I don't regret what I did and I never will, now tell me where you live!" And once again the idiot was ordering me around but that wasn't what hurt, what hurt was the fact that he didn't regret hurting me, his mate. Well if he didn't care about me then I wouldn't care about him. Simple.

Ignored him and his demands until he finally got fed up and pushed me up against the nearest wall

"Where do you live?" He growled in my face, my wolf fawned at our close proximity but I, on the other hand, held my ground

"None of your damn business" I yelled at him causing him to push me further against the wall, his anger caught me of guard and I let out an involuntary gasp. I wasn't scared of him or anything, I just wasn't used to seeing him so angry.

He moved back

"Crap I didn't mean to hurt you" he said looking down, he still had a firm grip on my upper arms but I was about to change that

"Uh Will, your still hurting me" I tried to look as defenceless as I could and just as I had thought he immediately moved back, letting go off me completely. While my wolf whined at the loss of contact, I seized the opportunity and took off in the opposite direction of my apartment. Once I was positive that I had lost track of Will I made my way back to my apartment but by now it was dark and I was regretting not letting Will come with me, but I was a wolf and no human could take me down without a fight, so fingers crossed the stranger was human.

I walked up to the front of my apartment when someone one jumped up behind me.

"Ahhhh" I screamed and the person who almost gave me a heart attack cracked up laughing

"You should have seen your face" Will said between laughter, while I glared at him

"What are you doing here?" I demanded

"Well you wouldn't tell me where you lived" he said

"So you decided to stalk me?" I demanded, just when he opened his mouth to answer the sound of movement from inside caught our attention. Without thinking about it I grabbed Will's arm and moved closer to him

"Get behind me" he commanded and for once I actually listened to him. I hated coming off as weak but I knew that if the stranger in my house was actually a wolf the only chance I had of surviving was Will. I was pretty sure the intruder was a were-wolf because no body dared break into the apartment I shared with Neena because of how scary Neena's brother was. More movement from inside the house pulled me out of my thoughts and caused me to move closer to Will to the point where I was practically pushed up against his broad back.

"Don't worry I won't let anything hurt you" he assured me.
