Rejected By The Neglected

Ch 3-Resolve

 Skye's POV

I ran and I never looked back.  

 My heart was pounding against my chest as it threatened to break free, I could faintly hear his low growl behind me as the doors slammed shut. I ran straight for the woods feeling my chest twist and ache the further I got from my mate. I needed to get as far away from him as I could, who knew what he would do and with my lack of training he could easily take me down.

I just rejected Cameron Deans.

I repeated it in my head over and over in disbelief. I slowed down when I thought I was far enough and leaned against the bark of a tree to catch my breath. I sank to the ground wrapping my hands around my knees pulling them close, something wet dripped off my face so I wiped at it. I was crying. I never thought I’d be crying over rejecting Cameron but here I was, crying over a boy I hadn’t cared about in years.

I could feel our bond that we created in those few seconds unravelling painfully, it was unnatural to reject your mate. I could only imagine what it felt like for Cameron, usually the person that gets rejected feels more pain than the other. A part of me wanted to smirk, he deserved that rejection, and one ounce of humiliation wasn’t as bad as my life time of it. I’m sure he would bounce right back. However the other half of me didn’t want to see him upset or in any form of pain, mostly my wolf side as she growled at me for thinking such things about our mate.

My wolf was whining at the back of my head, hurt at what I’d done. I intentionally upset our mate and that goes against what mates are to each other.  She didn’t seem to understand that his wolf might have wanted us but his human side didn’t and it was that side of him that forced me to reject him before he could do that to us.

I could feel his wolf she said he wanted us!

Then why did he reject us? I retorted if I hadn’t done it first then he would have. I don’t need any more crap hanging over me. Besides do you think you would feel better if he was the one to do it. 

She went silent and retreated to the back of my mind closing our connection.

I scolded myself for caring, all he ever did was leave me and allow the abuse to continue. Just because we were bound together for a brief period doesn't mean my feelings had to change completely.

There were going to be repercussions as soon as I got back to the pack house, he was going to be alpha and I had a feeling that as soon as Alpha Kent stepped down my life was going to be much worse than it was. My plan was to avoid him at all costs as I’ve always done but now that I was on his radar again I don’t think it would be possible. 

Slowly and reluctantly I pushed myself off the floor and trudged back to the pack house. I would get my car later once I know for sure that everyone left the school grounds. There was no doubt that everyone will give me hell, especially Kylie. I could feel a scowl begin to form on my face at the thought of her. 

I approached the pack house timidly, vigilant for signs of life. I could tell there were at least five people in the house and opted for going around the back. I slipped in the back door proud that I went undetected and up the stairs. However I wasn’t anticipating bumping into the Alpha himself.

I hadn’t heard him coming, distracted by my thoughts as I reached the landing. I could imagine what I looked like to him, grass stains on my clothing, my eyes red and blotchy from the crying and not to mention my red nose.

“Skye.” Alpha Kent said frowning, his arms folded as he studied my face.

I shifted uncomfortably under his scrutiny and looked at my shuffling feet.
