Never say Luna

Rejected? Or not?

Author's Note at bottom- VERY important!
Tasha POV
I wake up in water, leaning against a warm body. There's a slow burning deep in my stomach, traveling up to my heart, but it isn't unbearable.
Looking around, I discover that my mate is the warm body. Gasping in shock, I shove him away from me, into the water, struggling out of the tub. But the moment I lose contact with him, my body flares into agony, and I writhe on the ground, screaming. The fire eats away at my mind, my sanity, until... I feel a hand gripping my arm and the fire dies out. "Don't go, Alpha," a low, melodic voice murmurs.
"What happened last night?" I croak, coughing from the sting of my raw throat. "We were at dinner..."
"And you went into heat," he says grimly. I look over to see him nodding, his face tired. A sudden suspicion makes me shoot upright. "Did you do anything?"
"You mean, mate with my mate?"
The sudden anger in his tone makes me feel ashamed, until I straighten up and glare at him. "Exactly."
I shouldn't feel this way; hurt is for weaklings. Wolf packs are based on strength and loyalty. If I show the slightest bit of emotion...
"I didn't," he retorts, and stands up, the water dripping down his chest. "I'm going now."
Losing contact with his body would only make me suffer. Struggling through my pride, I reach out and grab his arm. "Stay."
"No."
"Why not?" Desperation is clear in my voice, and I know he knows it.
"So we can go back to what we were like before? You blaming me for every single mistake, fighting me every moment, until you need me again?" He kicks at the tub, hard, and the water sloshes over the side. "I'm going."
"But-"
"Unless you beg me to stay," he interrupts, his eyes pure black. I let go of his arm, but maintain my touch on his body. "No way."
"Then, I'm gone."
And he is. The door slams shut before I start to scream.

Raze POV
Her screams are agony to my wolf, racking my entire body with shudders. My claws come out, flexing, my head slumps, and I sit on the ground, fighting the urge to go back.
But her scent of arousal is making me hurt.
And I hadn't reckoned on the males in my pack to be so foolish.
Paws pound up the stairs as a grey wolf comes up. His name is Maim, for lack of a better word, as he'd killed his parents by accident when he was five.
A jackass.
"Where-" is she? he questions, slipping from wolf to human. Unable, as many half-breeds are, to maintain a steady form, jackasses are the most pitied member of the supernatural.
"You can't go after her," I growl, standing up.
She is hurt!
"She's my mate."
"Then why aren't you-" with her? Maim retorts, rearing up in frustration. I roar, "Because she's a f*cking idiot!"
You little... Ignoring my snarls, he pushes past me and goes into the bathroom. I follow him, only to halt. She's on the ground, screaming, in human form.
Naked.
With a male wolf salivating at her.
Growling a deep rumble, I launch myself at Maim, tearing at his neck. No one can take her away! No one!
"R-Raze," she moans, dragging herself painfully towards me. "I'm d-dying..."
Get off! Maim howls at me furiously. "Go to your mate!"
With a last snarl, I kick him away and leap at my darling mate. Instantly, she relaxes in my arms, and I feel a stab of harsh guilt. Was I really such an idiot that I'd done that?
I was just so annoyed...
I bet the Jackasses pity you.
Thanks, buddy.
Don't call me that.
Then shut your wolfy trap.
He doesn't respond, and I grin in satisfaction before nuzzling my mate in her neck. "You smell delicious."
"Thanks, buddy."
Coincidence? I think not.
"Ah, shut up."
"You're a f*cking asshole. You realize that?"
"Anything for you," I murmur, sniffing her hair.
"Tasha."
"What?"
"My name," she sighs. "Thought you'd like to know."
I jerk away and look happily at my sweet, beautiful mate.
"I do," I respond softly, and kiss her.

The days pass quickly, until her heat slowly, surely, subsides.
After Heat
Tasha POV
Gasping, I realize I'm naked and in the arms of my mate. The last few weeks had flown by, a blur in which my wolf was more conscious than me. Had we done anything? No. He'd promised.
"What's wrong, sweet?"
Immediately, I push him away and leap out, dragging the blanket with me and swirling it around to create a crude dress. "Bye," I mutter, sauntering it of the room.
"What?"
He's at my side in an instant, holding me back.
"I'm going now. Thanks for your help, though," I answer lightly, shoving him away.
"Tasha..."
That stops me. "Who told you my name?"
He looks at me, puzzled. "You did."
Stupid wolf.
"Listen," I growl, yanking him to me. "During the heat? Nothing I did was me. It was all my wolf. Okay?"
Hurt glistens in his black eyes. "No."
I shake him. "Okay?"
"I could've left you!" he snarls, teeth elongating. "You were begging for me!"
"I had no choice," I retort. "My wolf-"
"It wasn't all your wolf," he interrupted. His tone softened. Almost pleading. "It pleased you, too."
"Did you just say pleased? As in, gave me pleasure?"
"Yes-"
"You mated with me?!"
"Of course not!"
He shoved me against the door, his eyes flaring silver. "We wouldn't betray your trust like that!"
"I don't believe you," I mutter, shaking my head.
With a howl of anger, he pushes past me and shouts, "I'm done with this! You have shoved me away, hurt me, and tried to reject me! In return, I've helped you, done what you've asked, and- and what do you do? You f*cking... You dare... No. I said I'm done, and I am!"
"You're rejecting me?" The words rasped out of my throat, and I suddenly felt a pang of loss. All my wolf's, surely.
"No, I- I just-" He ran his hands through his hair and turned away. "I just need some time."
"Raze..."
And he was gone.

I'm sooooo sorry for the long wait! Made this chapter for you guys who support Raze dying!
Anyway, please get me to 1000 reads, because my friends are going to get me something when you do!
Will Raze reject her?
Also, please comment whether you want Raze to reject Tasha or not! I promise I will look at them and take them into consideration!!
If you don't comment, I think I'm going now to end the chapter in a few chapters: Raze rejects her, Tasha dies, her pack gets overrun. The end.
So comment!
From your fav. author,
