Sh'lera 2: Revenge of the Rejected

23: Mended Mates

Sh'lera's POV

The ceremony was about to begin and I was in the front lobby with Adam and the others. I was dying on the inside, my wolf was moaning in pain. Really I wanted to run into the bathroom and scream, another side of me wanted to claw at my insides and bleed to death, I wanted to swallow coals. 

What I couldn't figure out how guilty I was feeling when he seemed to never feel the guilt. Looking over at him he seemed calm as hell, and I was a mess on the inside.

Once I saw Roxy and Daniel disappear in the crowd I walked next to Adam. I didn't feel him stiffened next to me when he held out his arm. I looped my arm around him and felt the strength within his single arm and thought it was those arms hugging me close in bed. 

I was going to die,

After the ceremony, everyone went to the reception. I told the girls I would show up later but I had to take a breather, really I was meeting Mason. I walked only a few blocks and it was nothing in high heels. I been took off my dress and was wearing a tight black dress, it was below the knee and had sleeves to my elbows. 

My hair was flying in the wind and I was wearing my jewelry from the wedding, I was just wearing this under the bridesmaid dress of mine. No I wasn't the maid of honor, she never asked me and come to think about it she never had one. 

Odd, 

"Mason," I called out when I saw him leaning over a balcony over looking a town below. He turns and smiles, "Wow you look great, oh and good work at the wedding. No one died," He jokes. 

I found myself laughing standing next to him and leaning against the railing. "So I slept with Adam," I confessed and as soon as I blurted it out oddly enough I didn't feel awkward saying it to Mason. And what was even more weird was the fact the only person I was looking forward to telling was Mason. 

"This morning or just now?" He smirks and I smack his arm, laughing at his reaction. "No silly! This morning, I haven't told anyone." 

"I know," 

"What do you mean?" I questioned confused at how he knew that information. He looks over at me and has a serious look on his face. Oh damn we were about to get serious. 

"When you were walking down that aisle you looked a mess, I mean un-stable. A part of me wanted to save you and give you a drink, another side of me wanted to piss you off to a point you would explode and kill someone. But that's just me, I knew you were acting funny through out the day. 

Bottom line I knew you were hiding something, I knew you were going to tell him. I feel we reached a point in our relationship to say I know you still pretty well. We were friends, best friends for that matter." 

Damn was I that predictable when it comes to Mason? "So what's with you and Adam?" 

"Oh the sex was great," 

"Of course," He answered, 

"The talking," I groaned, 

"Pain in the ass," He suggested removing his jacket and placing it on the railing, I nodded agreeing with him. "It's like he doesn't learn," I slowly place my head on Mason's shoulder and inhale the air, 

"Well you guys are going to be okay," He finally says putting his arm around my waist. "I don't think so," I whispered, 

"How come?" 

Once I explain the whole Belle thing with Roxy. Then explaining the dreams, and the tension and then explaining how I left Adam and the ring, I was in a desperate state of a drink. 

"Damn we need to get you a drink," He said taking my hand and we set off to walk back to the hotel where the reception was being held. "I hate weddings," I groaned holding on to Mason's arm. 

"No you hate this wedding," He chuckles and I hit his arm and he laughs, "Not funny Mason," 

We entered the building and saw it was still loud and hype, I was going to hurl. Mason led us inside and we slipped through the crowds and I saw the girls dancing and making a scene, I saw Adam alone drinking. I didn't want him to find me or Mason, so I covered our scents. 

We got our drinks and found a small table in the dark, some more time passed and some drinks passed through our systems. I was slurring words while Mason was laughing at everything, 

My human side might've been drunk off the moon but my wolf side was well alert and keeping me in check at times. "So why didn't we ever have a wedding like this?" I slurred towards Mason who was looking down his glass. "I got the toy!-Oh well ummm let me look it up..." He trailed off fumbling with his phone. 

Once he managed to put it on the table gave me that look, "What am I doing again?" 

"Why didn't we get married, like kiss and shit." I burped and laughed so hard I began to cry, and Mason was silent. I guess he was seriously thinking about it. "I hurt you," 

"Yea but I'm all better, I got drink and money-oh the kids and the girls. I'm fine," My eyes were falling slightly and everything was beginning to get blurry. "Sh'lera," 

I turned towards Mason who was looking more sober now, looking at him this way made me think if it was awkward talking about Adam like we were at the balcony or that fact we were talking about us getting married and whatever I said. 

This whole thing felt like it should've been odd and weird but it wasn't. I felt 16 again having fun in the sun with Mason, racing in the forest with him when we were kids. He was stilling staring at me with a serious face and it was getting odd now. 

For a second I thought it was looking behind me, when I turned around and saw no one alarming. I turned back to Mason who was still in the same position. "Mason why are you staring at me?" 

"Here," He whispers, "What-"

He presses his lips against mine, we move in sync for like 2 seconds before he leaves my lips. It has now been tested, the bond between us has indeed faded it was no longer there. The kiss had no spark, feeling, anything. It wasn't a horrible kiss I just felt nothing, I didn't reject it or accept it. 

But it made one thing clear, "Clear your mind doesn't it?" Mason smirks and I smile back at him and hug him tightly. "Thank you Mason," I kiss his check and leave him to go back upstairs. 

It was clear now, I needed to be with Adam. He was indeed the one for me, and Mason finally had moved on and now I didn't have the guilt deep within, he told me and my soul I was good and healed my heart and wolf of a wound only he could fix. 

I looked back and waved back at Mason who nodded and disappeared into he party, I knew now we were good. Best friends for life,
