Rejected me. BIG mistake

Chapter 13

Ryder's P.O.V

I slam yet another book shut, groaning under my breath.

"What book would it be in." I mutter to myself, placing the book I was skimming through away and looking over the shelves for another book to skim through.

"Glowing gold lines." I mumble over and over again to myself.

I walk up the wooden stairs and walk along the aisle, skimming the tips of my fingers along the spines of the book. I see a large book that for some reason I recognise. I think it's one of the books Kara and I had pulled out to look at. It was still in the pile of books we were yet to read when I had left.

I take it off the shelf and carry it back down to the table. I skim through the book and I'm about to slam this one shut too until something catches my eye. It's a page near the back.

It reads; "Stories state that the one with the golden bands on their wrists as a human and on their muzzle as a wolf is no ordinary wolf. These wolves are pure white except from the golden lines. In history these wolves have been rejected by their mates. Their first mate is however not who the moon goddess had specifically chosen for them. Their destined mate is in fact the person who makes the golden lines glow. This is their second chance mate but the one who the moon goddess actually chose."

My mouth falls open as I re-read the paragraph.

Finally you're up to speed  I hear Axis my wolf say.

"You knew about her being my mate and you didn't tell me?" I ask him, a little annoyed.

Of course I knew. The Moon Goddess told me herself. He says, ignoring my slightly annoyed voice.

"If this is true. Why is she avoiding me?!" I demand.

She's afraid of what might come if she gives her heart to you. Instead she had gone back to her first 'mate'. Axis says in what I think is a sad voice.

I sigh. I already knew this. James. They've been together for months.

"How can I get her back?" I ask him.

I wish I knew. This you will have to do on your own. He says, sighing.

I sigh too and shut off the connection.

I shut the book and check the time. I stayed up all night going through books so it's almost time to go to school. I run upstairs and change into a pair of jeans and a long sleeve shirt then I shove on my converses and slip on a jacket.

I grab my backpack and run back down the stairs.

"Have a good day at school." My mum says from where she's sitting at the kitchen bench.

"Bye mum." I say, grabbing an apple, kissing my mum on the forehead and heading out the door to my car.

I get in my car and sit there, holding the keys in my hand. I lean my head against the steering wheel. Thoughts are running through my mind. Too many for me to handle.

I shake my head as an attempt to clear my mind and start up the car. I drive straight to school and grab my backpack, practically running to class. I arrive and as soon as I walk into the room I see her. Kara. She's laughing at something. She sees me and stops.

She takes one look at my face and a look of guilt is clear in her eyes. She knows that I've read the book. She knows that I know that we're mates.

I look away from her and sit down at the only free desk left which is two away from Kara.
