THE POWERFUL; YET REJECTED

Chapter 11:HOW.DARE.HE.

Ashlyn's POV:

I read over the words. They were practically a summary of my life. I continued on to the last few sentences.

She is rejected but stays strong. But then her mate goes to far. She decides to leave that night but-.

Then it just stopped. The rest were blank. Nothing was there. Not even the faintest hint of a word.

I sighed and ran a hand through my hair. "Mom."

"Yes my child?"

"Why did you pick him as my mate?" I ask looking at her.

She looked down at me and gave me a tired smile.

"He was made for you, but he didn't accept it sadly." She said. I nodded looking at the ground.

"I think it's time to go back. I want to leave the pack before sundown." My mother nodded. She kissed me on the forehead.

I got up and walked over to Hope. I turned around and waved to my mom. She smiled and did the same. I then turned around and held on to Hopes hand. We closed our eyes and felt air whip past us. As I opened my eyes I saw that I was in front of my house. Or what was my house for now.

I turn to face Hope again but she's gone. I look around me but don't see her. All well.

I step into the house and close the door behind me. I turn around and walk to the kitchen. I grab a coke and go to the living room. I see Tom and his Luna, Elizabeth.

"Hi Alpha, Luna." I said bowing my head. They smiled at me. "Hello dear." Luna said. I waved at her and turned to leave but am stopped by one voice.

Guess who it is. I can bet we all know who.

And the one and only....drum roll please....Alex.

I put one foot behind the other and twirl around. I put an innocent face and say "Yes alpha? How can I help you?" I ask sweetly. He glared at me.

I was so close to the stairs. So close!

"Your banned." He says bluntly. My fake smile turns into a blank face.

"I'm what?"

"I alpha Alexander Sky ban you Ashlyn Rose from this pack."

My heart stopped for a second at his words. How. Dare. He.

HOW DARE HE DO SUCH A THING TO ME AFTER ALL THESE FREAKING YEARS. DID NONE OF OUR YEARS WHILE A CHILD MATTER TO HIM? NONE AT ALL?!

I kept a blank stare on my face while inside I was screaming with anger.

"YOU WHAT?!" Someone yells. Both are heads snap to the right where Alex's parents stood up from the couch.

"YOU IDIOT! SHE IS OUR DAUGHTER!" Tom yelled. Elizabeth burst into tears clutching Toms shirt.

"HOW COULD YOU?!" Elizabeth cried. I nodded my head.

"I accept alpha. I said mocking him. He growled.I laughed as I spun back around towards the stairs. As I reached the first step of the staircase, I stopped.

"And by the way, thanks for the pain of mating with someone else while I was your mate." I said without looking back. I heard Elizabeth cry louder and harder. I didn't give time for Alex to respond as I ran up the stairs and slammed my door.

I jump when I hear a voice.

"I want to come with you." I look up to see Melissa on my bed.

These people need to stop scaring me like this. Geez.

Before I could tell her no she rushed on.

"I'm really sick of this place and mostly Alex. I need freedom. I can be helpful. I will help protect. Please?" She said with puppy dog eyes. I looked away and walked to my closet.

"It's not really my choice. It would be yours. Are you sure you want to come?" I ask her. I look back to see her nodding her head yes franticly. I sighed and got my duffle bag.

"Ok then...but do you have your stuff ready?" I ask. She pulls out a pink bag from behind her.

"Yep."

We were in the car already. We as in Hope, Melissa, and me. I had said goodbye to Anna earlier. She was crying so hard. I still felt guilty but her mate Brian took over for me. Her mate. My mate.

Mate. This sent Scarlet into hysterics. I pressed my lips together keeping quiet.

Idiot.

Jerk.

Butt head.

Man whore.

Handsome.

Cute.

I shook my head getting rid of my thoughts. He is not handsome or cute..... Ok maybe a little....or a lot.......

I had to focus on something else. I pulled up at 7-11 and we all got out of the car.
