Rejected Mate

Chapter 22

Seeing Jonathan again

Harry's POV

After Taylor escaped the dungeons there was a lot of suspicion. Some thought Taylor had escaped with the help of some rogue she met some thought her parents just helped, and then there were others who thought she lead the guard on, promised him things, and then surprised him.

I really had no idea what to think about the whole situation. All I knew is that Liam immediately pointed to his parents, he was convinced they helped her escape.

I believed we had to take in all the options, and not rule any option out, so I made sure Karen and Geoff were brought in for an interrogation.

I tried to keep Liam away from the packhouse, but he wouldn't listen to me. He wanted to do the interrogation himself, but I made sure he didn't do that.

I did the interrogation myself. But both of them firmly denied they had anything to do with it. Karen was in tears the whole time, because her baby was out there all alone, and she had nobody. She even blamed Louis for that.

I had to hold myself back not to lash out to her. But I found the strength to do so and continue. But after a long hour of questioning, I really didn't believe they helped her.

I still had doubts they were as oblivious as they pretended to be, but I couldn't say they were in on it.

So I let them go home and told them to contact me if they heard anything from Taylor.

After that the relationship with Liam and his parents probably will never be the same.

After the interrogation of the guard we still had no clue as to how Taylor managed to escape.

We did a sweep of the pack area and couldn't find her, I think it was safe to say Taylor was not on pack ground anymore, and was now officially a rogue.

In all the commotion of Taylor escaping and all the interrogations, I almost forgot about the annual party. Meaning Jonathan would be here. We almost had no time to prepare for it, so I just hoped for the best.

I was a little anxious, I mean they are true mates, so how does it work after one of them rejected the other. I wanted Louis as my mate, but what would happen if he wants Louis back? Will Louis go with him because they were soulmates, all these thought circled my mind.

I felt Louis take my hand and squeeze it. I looked down at him and smiled. "Are okay with meeting Jonathan?"

"I am fine as long as I have you by my side." He said as he cuddled closer to me.

"But what if Jonathan decides he wants you back?" I voiced my thoughts to Louis.

"I will never leave you for him, I want you Harry."

"But you are soulmates....."

"Harry please, if we really were true mates, he would never have rejected me. He lost his chances when he spoke those words." I felt Louis shiver as he said it.

"He hurt me so bad Harry, and no matter we were soulmates, you made me whole again. And I think I found my true mate, and trust me, it is not Jonathan."

I kissed his head and held him close to me.

Louis looked up at me through his eyelashes, took a step back, and put his hand on his hip.

"Even if he was the last Alpha on the planet, and I was the last omega, and the future of mankind was in danger, I can guarantee you the world would end because I never want him to touch me again. I hope I made myself clear."

"More than clear, you are my sassy little omega."

As I heard a car approach the packhouse, I made my way outside, ready to greet them.

A sleek Mercedes stopped right in front of the packhouse. The doors opened and I saw Jonathan's parents come out of the car.

After that Jonathan stepped out of the backseat of the car.

His eyes immediately found Louis'.

"What are you doing here Louis?" Was all he could say.

"It is Luna to you." There was my sassy little omega.

All Jonathan could do was look at him with his mouth hanging open. "Maybe we should go inside." I said as I turned around and opened the door to let them all inside the packhouse.

As we all stepped inside, Louis didn't wait to ask "So Jonathan, where is Tessa?"

"She left me."

I saw Louis had to hold in a laugh, and he tried to stay serious. "But why?"

"As you might know, she wasn't my true mate, and apparently she found hers." Jonathan said, and he looked around the room.

"So I came here hoping you would come with me Louis, since you are my mate."

It was dead silent, you really could hear a pin drop.

Before I could speak, Louis opened his mouth.

"Excuse me? I am your mate? you rejected me, and banished me, and you come here, saying I am your mate?"

Louis was fuming and at the end he was almost screaming. "

"But you are my mate, you just need to come with me." Jonathan said.

"You really thought I would come back with you if you said Tessa was gone? I don't need you anymore, I don't want you anymore, you disgust me, I will never go back with you."

Louis was so angry, so I stepped forward, and put my hand around Louis, to calm him down and wrapped my arm around him, drawing circles on his hip with my thumb. I Felt him relax instantly.

"And you are too late, Louis is mine now." I said to Jonathan.

Louis looked up to me, and I was afraid I was being too bold by saying that, because I knew we both felt it, we really hadn't talked about it. But when I looked into his beautiful blue orbs I knew he thought exactly the same.
