Rafe POV...
Waking up cuddled to my mates was the most wonderful feeling ever, and the memories of what happened last night was equally amazing. That was what made the decision I was about to make the hardest one ever. Getting out of bed, My phone ringing non stop and I did not want to wake my peaceful mates. I got up from the mess of arms and legs that are tangled up with mine, put on a robe, and went into the kitchen to answer the call. It was my beta calling
"hello?"
"Hello alpha, we have a problem."
"What's wrong, what happened?"
There was a pause on the line and that got me worried. It usually means there is trouble and I hate trouble especially when I'm happy.
"Ethan is here, he says he won't leave until he sees you and he is claiming you are his husband."
What the actual fuck, what the hell is Ethan doing on my pack lands again. I thought I was done with him for good. I should have killed him when I had the chance.
"I'll be there in a few hours with my mates. Its time I finish off Ethan." I growled into the phone. I cut the call as Jake walked into the kitchen. I'm sure he must have heard me or part of the conversation, I honestly don't mind because I don't intend on keeping secrets from either of them.
He looked at me with an expectant look as if he would not need to ask, and I would just tell him.
"Ethan is back, I need to leave for the pack but I'm not leaving here without you"
Jake looked shocked at first but that was quickly wiped from his face as a look of euphoria took over his features. I guess he was also happy to leave with me.
"Great I will start packing. We need to talk about Will though, I know what he did hurt you"
Jake gave me a look of sympathy. I looked down I mean I can't lie, what Will did has cut me deep. The fact that he couldn't wait for me to come back shows me the little faith he has in our mating and our bond. It was so easy for him to just move on and marry another, and that makes me wonder if he won't cheat on me again or leave me when things get rough. I know after last night I shouldn't be thinking of such bit I can't help it. There is a part of me that so angry I could reject him on the spot.
Sensing my distress Jake gave me a hug from behind and settled his neck in the junction between my neck and shoulder. He didn't say anything as he just gave me comfort, it became peaceful any head as all the negative thoughts seeped out and I was at peace in the arms of my mate.
"Reject me"
We were startled out of our state as Will stood in the doorway to the kitchen looking at me with a blank look.
"My full name is William Xavier Fouler, I can't reject you as you already marked me but you can reject me."
His eyes were still devoid of any emotions, there was nothing in there not even a flicker of hurt. Is this what he wanted and if so why did he let last night happen? I don't get it.
"Do you want me to reject you Will?"
"Yes I do"
The conviction in his voice pierced me deeper than any spear could have. The pain going through me was unimaginable, somehow it was worse than the first time they both rejected me. My mate does not want me and that made me shudder. Jake held me tighter and I could feel his anger towards our mate for hurting me. I squeezed his arms as some sort of comfort but I knew that it would not work.
"Oh and Jackson Xavier Fouler I William Xavier Fouler reject you as my mate and life partner."
Jake howled and balled over in pain as he crumbled to the floor. Endless tears were flowing out of my eyes as I saw my mate in pain, why was he doing this, can't he see that he is hurting us. I looked in Wills eyes and there was no hint of emotion, what changed from last night, what made him like this.
"Why are you doing this. Can't you see that you are hurting us Will?"
"Just reject me will ya?"
I don't get it even Ares cannot connect to his wolf. He literally closed us off and he still feels nothing. I looked at Jake and he nodded that I should. I have to take care of him now and if Will wants out then I'll give him out.
"Fine. I Raphael Apollo Hernandez reject you William Xavier Fouler as mate and life partner. There now leave!"
My voice boomed and still Will looked unnerved as if I did not just reject him. He did not even flinch, not even a flicker in eyes to show that he has been hurt. He looked like person who is bored out of his mind.
Maybe it is truly over for us. He turned to leave and I invent down and gathered Jake in my arms. I know how hard it is to be rejected I've been thought it and all I can do I be there for Jake. My emotions can take a back seat for now.
Once Jake collected himself I took him to his pack house to get the rest of his things so we can leave for my pack. His father was also just as shocked at Will's actions but he was nowhere to be found so Jake said his goodbyes and we were headed to my pack to start our life anew. Even if it is one person short.
"I'm happy that I have you Jake and I promise to take care of you. We will fight for Will, he can't get rid of us that easily!"
I said as I looked at the road ahead.
"No Rafe. Let him be, if he wants us he has to fight for us. Its so easy for him to let go then we should do the same and let go. We have each other and that's all we need."
I looked at Jake and we smiled at each other. This was our promise to one another. We will get through this somehow and we have each other so we will survive, now all we need to focus on is the persistent pain in the neck that is Ethan.
