Rejecting You (Slow Updates)

Chapter Seven

Dear Goddess, if you can hear me, please tell me why must I be his second? I thought as he walked towards me.

"Hello my name is King," he says after some guy announced him. Bitch, I know who you are.

Don't call our mate a bitch! Jen scolds me.

He is one if he talks to me. I retort.

Who's the bitchy one here you or him? She has a point, but I'd rather stay silent for now.

"Name's Jesse, Beta," I told him after a few moments of awkward silence.

He smirked! Who does he think he is?! Why must I get paired with the cocky ones? What horrible thing have I done in my past life to receive this torture!

"Nice name Jesse, but I'd prefer for you to call me King," he said.

"Why would I do that Beta?"

"Because you are my second chance," he said. Like that will change anything.

"I already have a mate. I can't have another," I told him. His smirk fell; that is a good thing.

"No you don't Jesse. Everyone knows he rejected you for Nancy," Shary informed him. He looked at her then at me. He smirked once more. What I would do to take that smirk off his face would land me in jail.

"He rejected you huh? What did you do to receive a rejection? Did you cheat? Did you have a bad reputation? Are you the pack slut?" And that is what got me to snap.

"I did not ask for rejection. I am a normal wolf living a normal life. I never have been in a relationship before in my life, so you can see I am a little inexperienced in this, but I know one does not say such a thing to their mate. Although I thought you had a mate before me, what would you do if I started talking smack about her? What then? He left me because he had a promise to fulfill for his deceased parents. I respected that, that's why the rejection took place. But honestly that is. None of your business, if you waited instead of accusing me I would have told you in my own time. But seeing as I am being disrespected In my own Territory, I Shall leave. Good day," I said normally trying to not let my voice raise to a higher volume. I don't want to make a bigger scene that was already displayed. I turned and walked off not caring about his shocked face. He shouldn't have said any of those things to me.

~~~

I laid in bed unable to sleep without seeing his horrendous smirk every time I close my eyes. I'd rather bleach them, and go blind than see him again.

I walked to my window, its evening now. The event was over and I was excuses after the scene I apparently "caused." As I would draw attention to myself. My pack mates started calling me an attention whore. I'd rather have anything, but strangers attention. Nobody seems to understand my wanting of solitude.

As I look out I saw Reed and Nancy laughing at something. Reed must have felt me staring cause he looked directly to my eyes for a split second, then looked back at Nancy.

Wish I had a mate, that loved me unconditionally.

We can have one. Jen said

How can we when he humiliated us in front of everyone? I asked her.

Forgiving him is one, and giving him a second chance to prove himself to us.

She has a point.

Of course I do. I am you.

That you are Jen. that you are.

King's POV

After the ceremony I couldn't stop thinking about what Jesse told me.

"I did not ask for rejection. I am a normal wolf living a normal life. I never have been in a relationship before in my life, so you can see I am a little inexperienced in this, but I know one does not say such a thing to their mate. Although I thought you had a mate before me, what would you do if I started talking smack about her? What then? He left me because he had a promise to fulfill for his deceased parents. I respected that, that's why the rejection took place. But honestly that is. None of your business, if you waited instead of accusing me I would have told you in my own time. "

She really knows how to take my breath away. She looked beautiful. Her golden eyes, dark brown hair, her tanned skin. She is completely gorgeous. This Reed kid will regret passing her up because she is one heck of a woman. She sticks up for herself

After you insulted her continuously.

Thanks buddy. I told my wolf sarcastically

Anytime bozo.

I rolled my eyes at him. I did deserve what she scolded me for. I assumed and look where it got me. Nowhere. Tomorrow though, I will find her, apologize and then take her out as an apology gift. She needs it from me especially.
