Still My Mate

"Eat" Rosie demanded shoving the food tray in my direction it was full of brown rice and some sort of mystery meat slopped on top of it with a sad excuse of peas on the side.

I'm gonna throw up

"No thank you" nausea hitting my stomach as I pushed the tray back to her.

I couldn't eat my body felt numb and empty and I kept getting super sick in the morning which made me lose my nonexistent appetite even more for the day.

"You really should eat something. When was the last time you ate?"

My birthday I thought.

Two weeks had passed and this feeling had not gotten any better. I was so grateful for Rosie and Hunter though we have become very close these past days.

I know they are still loyal to Asher, he was the soon to be alpha and he was Rosie's brother.

Rosie and I had instantly clicked and after she forced out of me what happened between her brother and I she hasn't left my side we were best friends I felt a bond between us I hadn't even felt with Marie.

I would never tell her that though she would always be my best friend but Rosie felt like a sister.

Hunter and I also have become very close he reminds me so much of Dax. He's really become family.

Dax has been nothing but protective of me as well. I still haven't told him Asher is my mate and now I probably won't within a week of being here him and Asher have buddied up which sucks. I'm not sure if Asher is doing it to spite me or if he truly is friends with Dax but either way it hurts.

"Last night I ate dinner" lies I didn't but they didn't know that

Rosie huffs getting up walking around the table to sit beside me

"Please just one bite" she practically sobbed. Not wanting to upset them more than I already was I finally broke agreeing to one bite.

Bad idea.

I took a spoon full of rice and mystery meat putting it into my mouth. Right as it hit the tip of my tongue my stomach started doing jumping jack inside my body and not in a good way.

Jumping up coving my mouth I ran to the closest trash can puking my guts out. I truly think I'm dying. Rejection is killing me.

I of course got everyone in the lunch rooms attention including Asher, Dax, and Kailey's. Dax got up and came over to me asking if I was okay.

My eyes wanders past him locking eyes with Asher's blue ones, he seemed emotionless going back to his conversation with a smirking kailey.

He doesn't care Lila sadly whimpering

Of course not he rejected up remember I frowned replying back to her

Rosie made her was to me telling Dax that I ate something that didn't agree with me and that her and Hunter would take me to the house. Dax agreed saying it was probably best to rest kissing me on the forehead.

I took one step forward almost loosing my balance from the lack of energy from losing all my fluids Hunter caught me picking me up carrying me to the exit.

Hearing a low growl from behind me I knew it was Asher but I had no energy to turn to him. I don't know what he was angry about but right now I couldn't care less.

"Layla you will die if you keep this up" Hunter said seriously laying me on the couch
