Wow. Just, Wow.

Them Over Me.

Chapter 5:

There they were just staring at me. You could see the confusion, sadness, and regret in  their faces. They were both terrible at hiding their emotions, I guess, it’s because I could hide mine so well.

“You both need to calm down. Please.” I gave them a sad and a stressed look.

“Naomi I.” I cut Austin off before he could finish his apology

“Austin. Please just stop talking. And Jake don’t say a damn word. I’m doing the talking right now” I told them in my alpha tone. If I couldn’t have a say on keeping my fated lovers then I at least deserved to say what was on my damn mind.

“Look I already know what you are about to tell me Austin. And I know why you are trying to tell me” I was nearly on the verge of tears picturing Rebecca’s smiling face. I kept my composure. I wasn’t going to show my sadness, but I knew they could feel the sadness of my wolf. Why not just break down? Because this showed how strong I was as a person not just as a future alpha or luna.

“This isn’t the time nor place to have this discussion. So I suggest that we go somewhere we have some privacy. And speaking of privacy...” I glared at Jake as the words left my mouth.

“How the hell did you know this was my room? And do you always enter a room without knocking, especially in someone else’s home?”

“Look, I’m sorry bout that and I hope that you can forgive me”

“Forgive. Ha. Not after the way you rejected me and just walked off like nothing happened. Ha  forgiveness, your funny Jake.” I said as calm as I possibly could resisting the urge to strangle Jake. He almost had smirk creeping up his face noticing my irritation. So he did hear me that time at the mall, that bastard. Then there was a small knock on the door. It was Liz.

“Come in” I told her both guys looked at me like I was crazy. I knew what the hell I was doing. She walked in and kinda paused midway entering the room. She looked confused and when she looked at Jake she finally got the memo and quickly closed the door behind her.

“Hello Liz” I said with a little irritation in my tone

“Sup....So... What’s going on Naomi?”

“Nothing much just chatting with my mates about the situation”

“Oh, alright.... Wait.... Mates?” That word would be the end of me, mate. My wolf  winned every time someone said it.

“Yup mates”

“Austin, Jake this is Liz. Liz, Austin, Jake” she motioned to shake their hands but realized my pained expression as they turned away from me.

“Well nice meeting you guys. Um can Naomi and I have a moment?” her expression reflected my emotions, deeply sad, and pained. They both nodded their heads and headed for the door as Liz walked up to me to give me a hug. Once I heard the door close, I let it all go. I couldn’t stop thinking about the rejections from both mates.

“Fate can be a real bitch sometimes” Liz said to me as she gently patted my back. I responded with a nod and sobs.

After a few minutes of release I got myself together and rejoin the party. Liz held my hand as we walked down the steps and before we walked into I had put on a fake smile, that no one ever really notices, and started talking to some of the pack members. I hugged a few knowing that both Jake and Austin were watching. I really gave a damn about Jake but I did sorta care about Austins feelings, I mean he is still my friend.

As we all greeted people we tried to stay away from each other as possible, well, at least I was, because being near them and knowing they didn't want me only made my night longer and harder to get through.
