I Reject You

Chapter 11

Ashler's POV

Finally I've got a chance to spend some time alone with my mate even if she doesn't feel the same way about this meeting.

I really have no idea how she can't notice this, but I am sure that we are perfect for each other. Fuck, what is wrong with her?!

I am trying hard not to get too attached to her because I know it'll hurt me in the end. She'll be happy with Andrew but I'll be left all alone.

I know that once Hannah denies to be the pack's Luna, Britney is not going to back down. The worst part is that I'll have no reason anymore to avoid her.

I need a mate to be the pack's Luna and help me run the pack. She is the worst choice though, I can't let her damage the pack.

Also, I have been going out of my way to prove her that I'm the perfect mate for her, not Andrew. But none of it seems to be working because she's still determined for this deal to get over so that we can part ways.

But for me, it wasn't just a deal. It was a way to buy some time for me and my mate.

I don't even know how I'm going to live after she has rejected me.

I have never been like this. I was unsocial, a workaholic and in a habit of getting everything I desire. I've never had to chase anyone or anything before she came into my life.

But this girl has changed me already. I can see it. Lily and the other pack members can see it as well.

Just yesterday I asked Maria about her daughter and she seemed too surprised, but happy. I even played baseball for a while with some kids outside the pack house. I've never interacted this much (or even a little) with them since the past 20 years as I've done this past week.

This is a nice change though, I don't want to get back to my old self. I used to just work, thinking of it as a distraction from girls and shit.

'Don't lose hope. You still have time to prove yourself.' It was my wolf.

'No. It's too late. Just some more hours and then I'll be out of the picture.' I sighed sadly.

I don't have any idea how, but I can feel my emotions surfacing more than ever before. I guess Hannah has managed to break down my walls without even trying.

I am happier around her. I am myself.

'How can you call yourself her mate when you're giving up without even fighting for her.' My wolf scowled at me.

I didn't like the idea of my wolf questioning my feelings for her.

But deep inside I knew that he was right. I shouldn't give up already.

She's my mate. She belongs to me first than any other male.

I can still feel the taste of her lips on mine. I wanted to take her right then, right there but that probably wouldn't have worked in my favor. She'd hate me even more than she already does.

She's my destined mate. She's worth fighting for.

I know she's not happy whenever I'm hurting. I can see it, no matter how hard she tries to hide it. She is an amazing person by heart and I want her heart to belong to me.

Only me.

I know she's still pure. There is no claiming mark on Hannah's neck. This means that she and Andrew haven't mated yet.

A wave of relief washed over me.

But even if they would've mated, I'd still be ready to accept her.
