Rejecting Dawn

Chapter 5

It's been exactly five minutes since Xerxus had started phasing around his office. The room was dimly lit giving it a creepy aura. There was a huge chandelier like ball which lighted the room. The room had leather seats around the corners and several vases as ornaments. The leather smell invaded my nose. I'm not sure I like the smell though.

At first, I thought that he would bite my head off when he found out I wasn't mute and when he looked at me with deadly eyes. But it surprised me he took in a deep breath and tried to hold it in. So humble of him.

"But how is this possible? I've never heard of second chance mates" he murmured to himself. "Lucky?!, you got to be kidding me Blaze" he said. Oh so he was talking to his wolf Blaze. I got to admit, I like their names just as much as Fury. I wonder if he knew mine.

"You're asking me why I think I'm not lucky? Wow Blaze, you live in my head yet you don't know?No.. Uhm. Okay. No! I can't believe I got stuck with her of all the people from around the world. Everything about her annoys me! Her smile, Her smell... Besides, I don't need a mate! Don't growl at me" he continued to talk to his wolf.

Excuse me, I'm right here.

I know I shouldn't be sad when he said he doesn't like my scent and my smile. Or when he said he got stuck with me compared to the rest of the world. Its really did sting. But why should I, when I feel the exact same.
Now I'm going to smile more and wear loads of perfume. Just to bug him. 

"Gee, I know you hate me and all, but please do not talk like I'm not here."

Wow, Where was all this confidence coming from ? This wasn't like my usual shy, scared reserved self.

I just got ignored. The nerve of him. He continued to talk to his wolf. More like argue. Speaking of wolf, where is Fury?

Hey bud. How are you holding up to the news? And why are you so silent.

Hey Dawn, I'm okay. She said sadly.

You know you can't lie to me. Tell me, what's wrong? Okay, she is scaring me.

I was ecstatic at first. But I know Xerxus doesn't like you. So I was thinking what if we get rejected again? I can't deal with this rejection. It hurts.
