Not Rejected Just Unwanted

So much for my happy ending

Once I went into the school I smelled the most amazing scent I could have ever imagined. My first instinct was to follow it, so I did. I followed the scent all the was to the other side of the school, thank god I go to school early. I turned one last corner and I saw him, Elijah Woods next in line to be the beta of our pack. I continued forward with caution because I didn't want to bump into him and make him angry.

He was saying goodbye to his girlfriend of 3 years Rose Bell, she was gorgeous with her long blonde hair and vibrant green eyes. Everyone in school thought they were mates, but no one knew for sure because neither one of them would confirm or deny it. Whenever anyone asked they would just respond how much they loved each other.
After I got closer to them the smell became so strong I thought I would choke on it, so I stopped to look around to see where it was coming from. I guess I was so distracted that I didn't realize Elijah was backing up until we had collided. I closed my eyes waiting for the impact of the cold tile, when suddenly a warm strong hand caught me. I let out a gasp as sparked erupted against my skin.
After the person who saved me helped me steady my feet I hesitantly opened my eyes. My breath got stuck in my throat as my gaze was met by a pair of beautiful brown orbs. I don't know who I thought my mate could be, but I certainly didn't even consider Elijah Woods to be my mate. Another thing I didn't expect was the look of pity that shown in his eyes. He let out a sigh before dropping his hand from me to run it through his sandy brown hair.
"We need to talk." He said motioning for me to follow him.
I nodded and silently followed while keeping my head down. I knew why he pitied me, hell I'd pity me too if I were him. It didn't take long until we were once again outside. He took us away from any questioning eyes and ears before turning towards me once more.
"What's your name?" He asked after a few moments.
"Raine, Raine Andrews." I answered with my head still focused on my feet.
He let out another sigh. A sigh full of pity towards me. " Please look at me Raine"
So I did, I looked at him preparing for what he was gonna say. He took in my features for a few moments. Almost as if he was trying to predict how I would react to what he was gonna say. I should have known that my one wish would get twisted. I should have expected this to happen when I found him. But for some reason, some stupid reason I hoped I'd finally be happy.
"I'm sorry Raine. I know that since we're mates we should be together, but-"
i didn't let him finish "But you're in love with Rose. You want to be with her, I understand."
He stepped forward and made an attempt to place what he thought would be a comforting hand on my should. But I took a step back, and hurt washed over his face before being replaced by pity once more.
" I'm sorry, I really am." He said again.
I took a deep breath before responding "Don't be, it's okay. I understand, you've loved her for 3 years now."
He let out another sigh before nodding. I let out a little disappointed laugh.
" You don't want me. Don't worry, I get it." I said tears threatening to escape.
He went to say something but I again interrupted him "Can you just do me a favor?" I asked as a single tear rolled down my cheek. He went to wipe it away, but decided against it.
"Sure... what is it?" He asked taking a step back.
" Don't reject me until tomorrow, please?"
"wh-"
"Thank you. I shouldn't keep from your class, excuse me." I said walking away from him and feeling any hope I had about getting a happy ending being shattered.
