Facing His Reject

Four

How could the Cole I used to so desperately have loved become so insensitive to my feelings.

One moment he's trying to tell me he doesn't love me. That our bond was just a big fat mistake.

Another he's trying to beat the crap out of my date that also just happens to be Sol. Future Alpha of this pack. I wonder if he has an ulterior motive. But I know it's more then likely just Cole being a jerk. But he loves her.

He never will love me as anything more than his bestfriend. And I'm not sure I even want that anymore.

"Come on Cara. You don't need him. Cheer up. If anything you just need to accept his rejection. That way your bond will dissipate. You won't feel the anguish you're feeling right this moment. Remember, he isn't worth it." Sol smiled at me.

Right now, Sol was being a true friend. And I really appreciated his effors at becoming my shining white night, however I really just wish to be alone right now.

My mind was drawing up a blank at the moment. What should I do next? I could always leave, but I can't stand the thought of my mother and Fathers sad faces as they realize their baby girl left them over an infatuation with some snob. But that's just it, this snob is supposed to love me. Mates were aligned in the stars, supposed to be together forever. After all, he was my mate. My eternal love that is burning lowly right now even long after he rejected me for another.

"Thanks, Sol. You're a true friend you know?" That was the best response I could get at.

Sol seemed interested in my answer, his eyes danced with humor.

"Is that all you see me as Miss Thompson?" He questioned me. The banter was catching on.

"Why, Worried?" I quizzed him. The smiles on my face here lately didn't quite reach my eyes.

"Why of course." He responded. We both laughed loudly at the sky, our humor getting the best of us.

OF us.

Hmm... I want there to be an us. I want there to be me and him and happy memories that I'll get to replay. My first kiss, a date, some cheesy romance movies and a drive in. I want to be happy.

I can't have that with Cole. I stood up, instantly the mood turned sour.

"I, Cara Thompson, Accept Cole Jefferson's rejection of me as his mate."

The words were quiet, a low murmur in my throat. The wind caught them and tugged them away, along with my worry and pain.

I smiled shakily in relief, gone was me and Cole. I had just turned over a new leaf.

You have no control over me now Cole Jefferson.

Now we could finally let these awkward days ebb into the sweet abyss of numb teenage memories. Perhaps, one day I'll laugh and make jokes about what a mistake the bond had been as well. Until then, I will carry on indefinitely without a glance in Cole freaking Jefferson's way.

He was a childish, inconsiderate imbecile. And we were nothing more than bystanders in the cruel way fate had paired us.

And I wish it to stay that way.

The happiness of freedom hit me like a truck. I laughed and giggled. I grabbed Sol's arm and pulled him up. We danced around for minutes. Enjoying one another's company. Shielded from the harsh ways of the world.

Slowly our laughter faded, leaving us staring into each others eyes. His were an opaque blue, glowing orbs in the shadow of the evening shadows. I hadn't realised how close we were until my nose ever so slightly brushed against his.

And then it hit me.

He was my escape. Call me selfish, but he made the pain go away. And maybe I could use our newfound relationship against Cole. Give him a taste of his own medicine. I shook that thought away. Because no matter how appealing the idea was, I simply would not entertain such cruel and unorthodox ideas. If I were to be with Sol, I would be with him because I wanted to be with him. Cole would never influence or sway my thought demands any longer than he already had.

I slowly leaned forward and our lips brushed together. We stayed still a moment, before our lips began to move together in absolute sync. His lips were soft, only slightly chapped. They tasted brilliant, of sweet rain drops and dew. He groaned softly, pulling away for breathe. His forehead rested against mine in certain bliss. Our breathes mingled, rising in the beautiful winter air.

Unknown P.O.V

I watched them from the shadows. Uncomfortably might I add. I looked away in disgust. She had her filthy lips on an Alpha. Disgusting vermin like her should not touch those of royalty. Such a disgrace to the family.

Although, this might work for better or worse. Our plan had fit together nicely, very nicely indeed.

And I had more than a few ideas of scenarios where her and the young alphas infidelity to their mates could work well into it.

They had no idea what they had done. I stepped away about fifty yards from where they were before shifting and running out of hearing range. I shifted back before linking my partner.

'Did it work?'

'Definitely.'
