Rejected

5: Where I Tell My True Mate My Life Story

Chapter 5 : Where I Tell My True Mate My Life Story

"So, what brought you to Minneapolis other than the Rarke? What's your story?"

We are currently seated in the plane and are in the air, when Elaine asked me about my story. I stiffened, but I knew that I'll have to tell him sometime about how I was treated at home and rejected by Randall. Elaine noticed that I had stiffened at his question so he quickly added, "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. I won't force you to. Like I said back at home, take your time."

I ease up a little at his words and shake my head. He deserves to know, he is my mate after all. "I want to tell you. You deserve to know," I smile sadly and begin to talk.

"I'm from the Furies, sister of the future Alpha. After dad died, my brother left for training and the Beta was left in charge of the pack and he made the whole pack turn against me and forced them to abuse me. They weren't even forced anymore." He growled and his eyes turned pitch black when I stated that I was abused but instead of comforting him with words, I placed my hand on his which slightly calmed him down.

"I had only one friend, Travis. He is one of the Beta's sons, the oldest. But a day before my birthday, Travis was commanded to betray my trust and leave me alone. The next day I found my mate," That must have hit a nerve because Adrian pulled me closer to him and buried his face in my neck and growls lowly, "Mine."

"I know baby, I'm yours. All yours." I pulled away and pecked his lips.

"Should I continue?" I ask him and he answers with a stiff nod. "He rejected me-" He interrupts me, "What an idiot. Is your wolf still hurting from the loss of her first mate?" I smile at him.

"No, because he isn't my true mate, El. You are." He grinned happily, "I'm so lucky to have you as my mate, Crimson. I love you." He looked slightly nervous after he said that.

"I love you too, baby." I said it back to him, making his nervousness disappear. He cupped my cheeks, and kissed me passionately. I pulled away from the kiss first and he frowned, "El, we're on a plane. We can't just make out anytime and anywhere." He pouted and turned away from me, and I pecked his pouted lips.

I rest my head on his shoulder as he twirled my hair in his fingers.

"Tell me more about this guy who rejected you."

"Well his name is Randall and he was supposed to be the future Beta of the Furies but I know my brother won't let him take that position because he isn't fit and because I told him not to make Randall his Beta. He was making out with the pack's slut when I found out he was my mate."

"Did you accept his rejection?"

"Yeah, I did. I didn't want to suffer for his mistakes."

"You are actually here because of his life's biggest mistake. He rejected you, and here you are."

"No, we aren't giving him any credit. I was going to leave the pack anyways. And of course, I'm here also because of the Rarke."

"I'm just happy you're here with me, baby."

"I am too, Ellie. Can we sleep now? I'm tired."

"Of course, baby."
