Silent Wolf

Unexpected Pt 1

As days turned into weeks a month had passed and as much as I hated to admit it, we had all grown use to having Patrick around, and as much as I'm sure he'd hate to admit it, he had grown pretty friendly with us.

Turns out Patrick (to no ones surprise) basically became instantly popular when he reconnected with an old childhood friend, Jon Bishop. Jon is your all American goody two shoes, star basketball player, hasn't found a mate yet so limits his encounters with females, he's super handsome and every girl without a mate loves him.

So by extension when Patrick was seen with him every girl began fawning over him.

But unlike Jon, Patrick does have a mate...what's worse, he's giving into the various girls advances.

"Can I talk to you?" I asked as I approached Patrick and Jon.

"Hey Elise." Jon sounded kindly.

I smiled at him, "hey Jon...would you mind if I took Patrick for a moment."

He shrugged "go right ahead."

Patrick rolled his eyes and pulled himself away from a girl who was draped around him pathetically.

I grabbed his arm and literally pulled him away from everyone. We were now standing in front of the school, people could see us but no one could hear us.

"What the hell are you doing?" I asked.

He chuckled a little, "what the hell are you talking about now Elise?"

"You know damn well what I'm talking about!"

He gave me a blank stare and I growled a little "you have a fucking mate and you're just letting sluts throw themselves at you, what's worse is you're not even bothering to turn down their advances like a good mate."

At this he growled, his much more menacing than mine, "you don't know shit Elise, and I told you not to bring it up."

" All I know is Mariah is one of my best friends who's going through a lot of shit and she deserves a better mate than you!" I bite out.

He looked like he wanted to punch something but instead he closed his eyes and mumbled "we aren't mates anymore."

"That's impossible Patrick."

"We both know that isn't true." He countered.

"I know she turned you down but that doesn't mean she rejected you."

"No...but I rejected her."

It was completely unexpected and I was genuinely shocked, I didn't know what to say and for once he explained without prompting.

"The night I found you and Vance I had to explain everything to her, she's smart so she was piecing everything together anyways...but when I told her the truth and that we were mates she genuinely freaked out, said she couldn't do this and that she had to leave right before she finished off with 'I don't need you' you don't know how fucked up it is as a male Were to hear your mate say they don't need you...like my sole purpose as a Were is to protect her and be there for her and she was turning me down"

"Patrick-"

"It hurt and I made a decision that night, no one, not even my own mate would ever hurt me again...so I rejected her, she was already gone by then and yeah it sucked and I've been depressed but she a human so I knew she wouldn't feel it as bad as I did."

"You don't know shit!" I echoed his words angrily, "I was the one who had to see her night after night for a week straight basically drink herself into an alcohol induced slumber to forget about you, she loves you and news flash she actually wants to be here and possibly be with you but her moms really sick so she had to go to her brother's place in Cali...you fucked up Westbrook, and sadly...this isn't something you can just undo."
