Broken Bonds : The Rejected

A N A L I S E

          

It has been whole week since I have gone to school. Only people I have been seeing are mom, Mike and Sophie, my best friend and when I told her about what I was going to do, she was excited, telling me that he deserved it.

I look in the mirror and smirk at myself. I am wearing skinny black jeans with sleeveless white shirt on me and white sneakers. My blonde hair is down in perfect waves. I put some make up on me and run down to meet Sophia talking to mother.

"Girl, I thought you would never come back." She says and turns, just to look at me shocked. "Someone is smoking hot!" She declares and smiles at me approvingly. "I bet he won't be able to take eyes off of you." She says and smirks.

"Be careful." Mom warns us with light smile playing on her lips. "Even though he rejected you, werewolves are very possessive, especially Alphas and he will be too jealous." Mom says and winks at me I smile and follow Sophia out inside her car.

She looks at me with wide eyes, still worrying about me. I look back at her and smile, knowing that she is only worried because she cares about me. I give her tightest smile and she nods, pulling the car from the driveway and towards out school.

"Are you sure, you are ready?" She asks me one more time to make sure that I am okay. I nod, but say nothing. I am too worried and I don't really trust my voice. "Don't worry, okay? You are better than him or Sam. You can pull it, I believe in you." She smiles at me and looks at the road.

"I know." I assure her and chuckle. "I am just nervous. I haven't seen him... since rejection." I mutter and look down at my hands. "I don't know, how I am going to handle it."

"Don't worry." She smiles at me and parks the car. We go out of the car and I breath in nervously. "You will be fine. Now, show him how much you don't care about him and show whole school who is the queen." She tells me and I nod smiling at her.

The second I step inside the school, everyone's eyes are on me. People are whispering and pointing at me, but I pay no attention to any of them. I put my head high and start walking in the corridor as if I own this place.

I pass Luke, Mike and Nick with small smile adoring my lips. I greet Nick and smile at Mike, but only give cold glare at him. I can hear Mike's voice, excuse himself and I hear his footsteps as he approaches me.

"You okay?" He asks me and I nod. "You look good, by the way."

"Oh, thanks." I say and chuckle. "I know." I say again and he laughs a little. "by the way, did you find your mate?" I ask him and look around the hallway. Everyone is looking at us, and they don't even hide it. Rude.

"Not yet." He sighs and smiles. "But I am sure I will find her soon. I can feel it." His smile is large and pure and I feel a little envious for his future mate. She will be so happy and lucky. "What about you and your attitude?" He asks me and as I take my books from the locker, we start going to the first class. Which is English and we, both along with Luke and Nick have it. Sadly, Sophie doesn't have it, thus I am there alone in the battlefield.

"Nothing." I mutter and shrug my shoulders. "I just can't cry about him all day, can I?" I ask and smirk. "And I have learned to live with it. It isn't the end of the world. I still will be able to get pregnant and marry a human." I say with another shrug and he looks at me surprised. "Don't worry about it. It hurts, but it is manageable." I assure him and go inside the classroom. "You sit with me?" I ask confused as he puts books next to mine.

"Yeah." He nods and sits comfortably. After us come Luke and Nick, both of them surprised to see us together, but say nothing. Luke isn't taking his eyes off from us and his jaw is clenched, his teeth gritted and from the bond we still have, I can feel his anger rising.

They sit in front of us and Nick immediately turns to us, his eyes studying me slowly. He looks at Luke, but says nothing, then looks back at me and stares. I give him one of the sweetest smiles, which he returns.

"You are beautiful." He blurts out suddenly and blushes, which causes me to laugh and Luke to growl possessively. "Chill bro." Nick says and shakes his head, leaning towards me. "He is really jealous." He informs me and smiles. Luke growls again and Nick leans backwards, smirking at me. I return the smirk and shake my head.

"So, Mike." I turn back at my friend, ignoring the two males in front of me, one looking at me amused, while other is looking at me as if he is going to kill me. "Who do you think she will be?" I start asking and bugging him to death. "You have to see affection towards your mate before actually understanding that she is your mate." I say while something hits me. "You have to have even the slightest interest towards her as it is in the nature of wolf..." I mumble in lower voice and smirk, while looking at Luke.

"When did you like me?" I ask him straight forward and he starts choking on his saliva. "Because people are going to be mated, they are feeling slight attraction towards their future mate, it not may be something special or big just enough for a second. But it is always there." I say and look at his colorless eyes and smirk.

"I..." He sighs and shakes his head. "Back when we were little." I nod and turn back to Mike, but Luke interrupts me with a slight touch, which is enough for sparks to ignite inside of me. I look scared at him and his eyes bore inside of me. "What about you?" He asks me in soft voice.

"Before..." I choke on my words and take hand away from him. My eyes turn stony cold and I look at him again. "Before we entered high school." I swiftly lie to him and turn back to Mike, ignoring him altogether.

"It was harsh." Mike informs me as soon as lesson is over and we are going side by side in the hallway. "He was hurt, I could see it in his eyes."

"Who cares?" I ask him and look at him confused. "His rejection was painful, he can take this much." I spat out and rush towards Sophie, who is waiting by the lockers. I immediately grab her hand and take her to the bathroom. When I lock the doors and make sure we are alone I start sobbing.

Tears start pouring down my face, messing my whole make-up. Sophie rushes to me, hugging me tightly and patting my back. We miss the next lesson and just sit in the bathroom, she is calming me down, while I am crying.

We missed lesson after that as well and now it is nearly lunch time. she helps me to make me presentable. I thank her and we go towards cafeteria, which is already full of people.

Don't worry, you are doing fine. Just think about your food and how much pain this jerk caused you. You have to be strong for yourself.

Sylvia? You're here? I thought you went back sleeping. I don't think... I am not ready. I... I still feel so attracted to him and his touch... I was lingering his hand on top of mine... I can't do this...

Analise... Don't be like that. I trust you and I know you can do it. You are the strongest person I have ever encountered. Mostly people are going insane after rejection, but here you are standing all high and mighty.

I thank her for encouraging me and take my food. Whole cafeteria is looking at me as if I am some kind of alien they have never seen before. I and Sophia sit at our usual table, talking and giggling over nothing. She is trying to cheer me up and I know how hard she tries.

"Lisa..." She calls me suddenly, her face changing in every way. "I... I can feel him." She tells me suddenly, her eyes horrified and happy at the same time. "He is here!" She shouts and hugs me tightly. I smile back at her and watch her as she starts walking in the crowd. On the other side another boy is moving, rushing to meet his mate. And then they stop in front of each other, they eyes locked and full of love.

Sophie is boring deep into Mike's eyes with love and care and first time in whole week I am truly happy for both of my friends.
