DESTINED [SLOW UPDATES]

Chapter Eight 'REJECTION'

Supernatural History was definitely my favorite subject.

"We are going to discuss the history behind the conception of a new breed of Fae. Hope you have all started on the assignment, it will amount to a certain percentage on your final grade."

I was in awe of Master Arad.
When he opened his mouth, I was taken back in time and I loved everything he had to say. I wrote notes like a mad woman, I didn't want to miss anything. I was definitely intrigued when it came to Supernatural History.

When the class was finished, I was really gutted-look at that, I had found my calling

The whole day was pretty boring after that. I was definitely having a hard time in Attack and Defense but I knew I had to put my everything in it at being the best at all that this school had to offer so I had higher chances at survival.

I sighed in ecstasy. I had accidentally found my spot, my very own private cave. It was a cave near the beach with rocks all over and one tiny cave hidden among the rocks. I had taken a walk with the intention of writing my homework at the beach but apparently I wasn't the only one who had that idea so I continued to walk until I accidentally came across the cave by accident.
I loved it.

I read and wrote my homework before it got too dark.

"What are you doing here?" A very husky voice asked and the thrill I got from it sent chills up my spine. I wanted to hear more of it.

I looked up and made eye contact with my possible soulmate and my half sister's boyfriend. A part of me wanted to answer that question yet another was annoyed, I didn't owe him anything. Not after his treatment of me.

"It's none of your business why I'm here." I snapped.

"I'm Kellan by the way. What's your name?" Kellan ignored my snappy voice and continued playing nice but I did not trust anything that came out of his mouth. He was being nice because he obviously had an agenda and I wasn't going to play that game with him.

"What do you want? I don't want to talk to you." I answered with every intention of ignoring him.

"I want to propose to my girlfriend but how does one do something like that? Should I go the cliché route-dinner then kneel on a bended knee and ask her or go another route..."

What?
My possible soulmate was confiding in me on how to ask my sister for her hand in marriage. What was this nonsense?

"Why are you telling me this?" I asked coldly.

If my tone could have frozen a person, Kellan would be a block of ice right now. He came to my newly discovered spot to ruin my day and worse, ruin my spot. What was this?

"When I touched you, I felt something. A bond. I don't want it. So...I just want you to know that I'm happy with her-you mean nothing to me. Fate or whatever this is, I don't believe in it." Kellan said so softly yet with a determined look on his face.

He truly was determined to choose my sister over me.
I truly had hoped for a second that he would want me. He was meant to be mine after all.

"So let me get this straight-you think we have a bond and you came here to tell me that you won't give me a chance? Am I getting this right?" I questioned.

What was going on with my life seriously!? Couldn't anything ever go my way.

So he was rejecting me before he even got the chance to know me, to learn that just maybe I was worth loving. How could he do that? A soulmate of mine wouldn't do me like that, maybe he wasn't worth me, not the other way around. I was grateful that he wasn't rude about his rejection, I guess the fact that he did this privately made this easier for him to resist being a total cow to me.
I guess it was only fair that I be thankful for a few things in my life.

"I'm sorry if I have hurt you-"
My very loud and inappropriate laugh cut him right off. I was not going to give this guy the satisfaction of thinking he hurt me. No way.
"I'm actually engaged Kellan, so relax, am not hurt. So...are we done here?"

What did I just say? Ofcourse I was hurt and I despised my betrothed. What was I doing?

'You are standing your ground Alyssa, not making one stupid, foolish, ignorant, self absorbed and judgemental fool determine my worth. He can go to hell for all I care.'
My conscience answered vehemently and I totally agreed with that, I was going to add another person in my list so they could hurt me, I didn't need a soulmate-I was the damn vessel.

"You are e-engaged?" He stammered.

I collected my books and book bag. I was playing this game with this guy. If he thought he could come here and make me feel less then he had another thing coming. I wasn't going to allow him to walk all over me with his talk as if he was better than me.

"Yes-so?" I raised my eyebrows arrogantly.

"I thought..." I immediately cut him off.

"Listen-we are done, you have said your piece-now let me say mine. You are seriously not worthy of me so am glad you took the highway. It is a bit sad you replaced me before you even gave yourself the chance to know me-then again, you would have been a failure-a weakness that I clearly can do without.
Then again, this bond you were talking about, I didn't feel it, I don't know you, only met you yesterday and already you are way ahead of yourself thinking that I want you and care about a fellow student's love life, you need to get a life. Idiot!" I added idiot just to see how red his face could get.

His shocked face would have been entertaining if my heart wasn't aching. I guess my new hideout just became my worst place. He was mine...the Creator made him my protector and he just flushed that down the drain for my sister. Why would he do that? How did they even meet? How could he give me up. I was created for him and he was created for me; and he easily threw that away like it meant nothing. How could he do that? If I was not mistaken, soulmates were a gift, and here was Kellan throwing that gift right back at the Creator. No wonder he left, these far were ungrateful.

I had denied being his soulmate because if he wasn't with me then he was against me. I never thought that my own soulmate would be someone I couldn't trust. It saddened me.
We were supposed to be a team but he clearly wanted someone that wasn't me.

I wasn't going to forgive this, if this is the path he chose then he deserved absolutely nothing from me.

I wasn't going to think about him or even acknowledge his existence from now on. I was going to learn to stand on my own two feet, meet an ordinary yet boring guy who wasn't going to make me feel tingles down my spine or goosebumps all over my body or butterflies in my tummy because that made me believe in fairytales when they clearly didn't exist.

1. Is this the end of Alyssa and Kellan's relationship before it even begins?
2. Why wouldn't he choose his soulmate? What is he thinking?
