Mate?

Chapter 23: 'Family Reunion' Part l

Rachel POV

So both Rafael and Mason have been a bit distant. Every time I try to talk to Rafael he just yells at me and walks away. With Mason, well he just looks like he's daydreaming or something. I don't even know right now. I'm getting so frustrated, I've already quite school. So I can't go to collage.

So I'm just going to go talk to Adam maybe he'll know what's wrong with Rafael. I mean they are mates. Maybe they just got in an argument. I bet that's just it. Rafael was probably being to stubborn or something. Yeah that's just it....I hope.

Adam's POV

I'm pacing around in my room not knowing what to do. I can't stop thinking about how broken Rafael looked when I rejected him. My wolf keeps nagging me about it.

Why wouldn't I be nagging about it? You just broke my fucking mate's heart! I'm sorry if I'm not bursting with joy but your a monster. Remember the way he looked on his knees, BEGGING you to let him talk? But nooo you had to go ahead and break his poor heart.

Okay just shut up I already feel guilty, don't need to make it worse. I loved him. I thought he cared about me. I thought he would protect me. I thought he would stay with me. I-I-I thought I could... Trust him.

But I can't. He lied to me. He was just using me. He was-.

Then the door bell rang. I stopped pacing and went to open the door. Hoping it wasn't Rafael.

It wasn't it was just Rachel, but I think that's just as bad.

"Hey Rachel." I gave her a small tight smile. She frowned but gave me her beautiful genuine smile.

"Hey Adam. Is it okay if I come in?"

I nodded and sidestepped so she could come inside. "Lovely place you have here." Is she stalling?

"Okay Rachel drop the act I know your here about Rafael, so just say what you want to say."

"Okay?... Um did you to get in a fight or something? Because he is in a really pissy mood. He won't talk he won't eat. I'm starting to get worried about him. Then only time he comes out of his room is like to go to patrols or something. He looks like... well crap."

My chest tightened when she said that about Rafael. But why would he be like this? He was going to reject me anyways so, he shouldn't be like this. Right?

"Um no we haven't gotten into a fight... Well not necessarily. I guess it could be counted as one I'm not sure." I frowned was it a fight? Well we didn't yell I just well rejected him.

She studied me closely and raised an eyebrow. " So why exactly did you 'fight'?"

I gulped, she's probably going to kill me. But here goes nothing. Well not nothing more like here goes my life.

"WellIMightOfRejectedHim." I said really fast.

"Slower. And I want to know every last detail."

I nodded and played with my sleeves.

After about 15 minutes of explaining I told her everything. From meeting Andrew to now. I sighed when I was done and looked up at her. She didn't seem shocked she seemed... Scared?
