Yeah, I Rejected You

Chapter 7: Back to the Band

Shayla's POV

It's been a week since I saw Arden. It's been a week since I talked to Chase. It's been a week since I started staying in Ashlyn's room instead. It's been a week since I left the pack house.

I mopped around the room, rather bored. Ashlyn had went shopping with my brother, and I was left alone in her room. I slipped on my earphones, and listened to Lenka's songs. The door opened, and I knew it was probably Ashlyn, so I didn't look up from my iTouch.

"Shayla,' a deep voice said. Oh shit.

'Mate!' my wolf happily cried.

'Don't be excited!' I groaned.

I looked up from my screen and I felt nothing but anger and hatred.

"How could you? After beating up Arden, then walking away like that?" I screamed at him and ripped out my earphones, despite the calming music playing from it. I held my arm against his neck, pushing him against the wall. I know he's my mate, but I care for Arden so much. "How dare you appear before me, as my mate, taking away the friend I grew up with, who was captured by rouges, and is packless right now? He has no pack to go to! He was from the Silver Moon pack for wolves sake!" I yelled. My hand was clutched in a fist as my wolf tried to calm me down.

He didn't say anything, he just looked at me. He wasn't wearing a smirk. He didn't wear the familiar face of the guy I loathed. In his eyes was an unreadable expression that haunted me more than ever.

Chase's POV

She didn't care for me.

She doesn't love me at all.

Not even a single ounce.

She will never feel the same way as I do for her

I wanted to show her what I was really feeling inside, that I'm sorry, that I love her, and that I am capable of loving and not just the school's player.

"Look into my thoughts, Shayla, please." I choke out. Her arm like steel against my neck.

"Why would I want to look inside the thoughts of the person who took away the person I love?" she snarled back.

Shayla's POV

I know what I said, but I couldn't resist myself. I looked into his mind, catching fragments of his thoughts.

'Shayla... I love you Shayla... Arden... Asshole... Beautiful... My mate... Come back... Can love... Not player... not anymore... Choking... Dying...'

Holy crap I was choking him!? I immediately let go of my arm and he immediately takes deep breaths. Wait. Since when did I care I was choking him?

Now, lets rewind to what I saw in his mind. He claims he's not a player anymore. And let's look at when he thought 'I love you Shayla.' Excuse me?

I stepped back, trying to take it all in. He loves me.

'Don't believe him!' My inner self tells me. But my heart had different plans.

"I'm giving you until the Full Moon. If you don't fix this, I'm going to find Arden and you will never see me again." I snap.

His face showed relief as he pulled me in for a bone crushing hug.

"Thank you so much Shayla."

"Me- *gasps* -choke- *gasps* -ing!" I cough out.

"Oh, sorry mate!"
