The "Side-Effects" of a Rejection

Chapter Two: Rejection

Kayah’s point of view

The people around us begin to notice. We have been staring at each other for what feels like hours, but has probably been only mere minutes. I can't look away from his piercing green eyes. Someone next to me coughs loudly and my mate and i break eye contact. It is eerily silent, the sound of crickets chirping far away fills my ears.

“Kayah, Alpha Josiah, please come with me.” My father requests in a gruff tone before walking towards the door, probably leadiing us into his office.

I turn in the direction of my mate and see that he is deliberately walking towards me and the door, He passes me, not even sparing me a glance. I sigh and head in after both of them. That is when my fathers words hit me.

He said Alpha, Alpha Josiah. My mate is a freaking Alpha!!! He must be the alpha of the pack that arrived tonight. At this moment i can't tell whether im happy about this or not. Im just overjoyed I found my mate.

We do end up in my father's office, When i enter the room, both my father and my mate are pacing. I furrow my eyebrows before sitting down on the loveseat in the corner of the room. They snap their heads towards me and stop pacing.

My mate, gosh I love those words, appears to be checking me out. As his gaze travels up my body, his eyes begin to turn darker with lust. I take that time to also check out my mate. He’s tall. and he has this lean but muscular body. I can see his defined six pack or possibly eight pack through his black t-shirt. His face is the most handsome face i have ever seen. He has a stong jawline, thin lips, and the manliest, cutest nose. And his eyes-

My father growls and our gaze is broken once again. Alpha Josiah;s eyes go back to normal.

“I dont like this!” My father growls and I nearly burst out in anger when he suddenly stomps his foot like a little boy.

“Beta Wells, can I have a privaate talk with your daughter?” My mate chuckles, his alpha tone slightly seeping out. I almost moan when I hear his voice, so deep and sexy.

My father gives me a strange look before storming out of the room grumbling nonsense under his breath. I giggle quietly at his entertaining exit.

“How old are yyou?” My mate’s voice snaps my head right back to him.

That is not the first thing I expected him to say to me, but I answer his question anyway.”I just turned eighteen, today.” I say, my voice cracking.

“How convenient.” He mutters silently, but I still can hear him with my heightened hearing.I frown, as he rakes his hands through his hair, I can tell from his actions that he is frustrated, but am confused as to why. Shouldn't he be happy like me?

“How old are you?” I ask as i carefully study him. He is definitely in his twenties from what i see.

“Im twenty five.” He responds curtly, still raking his hands through his brown hair and looking at everything but me.

My wolf howls within me, not liking the fact that our mate seems distant. My wolf and I just want to embrace our mate and never let go, kiss him with everything we have within us, we want to make up for lost time.

The air around us gets heavy and thick with awkwardness, and I hate it. Finally, I ask the question that has been slightly bothering me, “Why is it convenient that im 18?”

He looks at me, for a moment there is a deep, troubling sadness flooding his beautiful eyes, but then wiped out, they turn black with anger. “ If you were younger than eighteen then, I wouldnt be able to see you, but since you are eighteen, I have to do it the hard way and reject you.” He spits out with so much hatred coating every word.

I shrink away from him, already feeling tears drip down my face. My wolf whimpers sadly and begins to pace madly in my mind. I feel as if i'm suffocating, and i gasp for breath. “W-w-w-why  do y-you w-want to re-reject me?” i stutter.

My heart is shattered as I hear his next words.

“I dont want you.” He says nonchalantly.

One moment, im heartbroken, the next, im the angriest ive ever been.

“Fine.” I spat,

The Alpha looks surpized for a second, then he just looks determined.

I knpw the words that will come out of his mouth next. I have heard tons of stories about mates being rejected. They say that the pain is overwhelming, that you will be left feeling like your missing half of your soul. Inside of me, my wolf is cowering and I am too. But if he doent want me, then fine.

“I, Josiah Davidson, reject you, Kayah Martins, as my mate.” My mate states,

Suddenly, I crumble onto the floor, screaming in agonizing pain. The darkness is washing over me slowly as my wolf begins to howl in sorrow.
