The Rejected

"Your neck is gonna bruise and the cuts in your neck will possibly scar but besides that you should be fine." Taylor smiled at me sympathetically.

"Why does everyone here hate me..." I mumbled and held my face in my hands. 

"Not everyone here hates you.." Lira mumbled looking at me. She had heard what happened and came to check on me. 

"Ever since I had been here I have been attacked by every female who likes Damon. What did I do to deserve this..?" I started to cry at the memories of the first time I was attacked. Vetra ran to me and slapped me while I was training with Damon.

"Ya but you have the strongest alpha in this area on your side." Nora smiled and rubbed my back. "Along with your friends."

I sniffled and nodded as I removed my hands from my face and looked up at everyone around me. Nora was right. Though a few girls wanted to rip my cuts out I had Damon and all my friends on my side. 

The door opened and my heart pounded afraid of seeing Vetra again but I lucked out when I saw it was jus Sarah. "Sage!" Sarah ran to me and wrapped her arms around me as her mate emerged from the door way and looked at me with pity.

I hated all the sympathy I was getting along with pity and whatever else. It made me feel weaker then I already was.

Echo made her way to Sarah and played with her hair. "Baby i'm gonna get started on dinner anything you would like?"

Sarah sat up straight and looked up at Echo. "Just whatever your having." Echo smiled and nodded before looking at me.

"Anything for you Sage." I looked at her a bit confused before at Sarah who nodded for me to answer her.

"um sure whatever your making." Echo smiled and nodded walking out the door.

"You don't have to worry about me getting jealous Sage. You're one of my best friends. I would never hurt you. Plus your straighter then a arrow." Sarah chuckled and I smiled a bit.

A few minuets later and Damon walked in with his head hanging low. "I'd like to talk to Sage alone please." Everyone nodded and stepped out leaving the room empty besides him and I.

Damon lifted his head and then I could finally see the tears streaming down his face. Frowning I opened my arms for him and he got on his knees on the floor and wrapped his arms around my waist as he rested between my legs. I watched his body heave up and down as sobs escaped his lips. This must be hurting his wolf. Like grabbing a knife and stabbing it into his heart hurting.

"I can't take the pain away Sage. Please help make it stop." He sobbed breaking my heart more as I gripped the back of his shirt. I felt tears of my own start to slip out as I looked down at him.

"I wish I could Damon. I really wish I could." I sniffed and he looked up at me. His eyes caught mine before he jumped up grabbing my head and planting his lips on mine.
