Alpha's Rejection

Chapter 17

Evelyn's POV

Heading to my room and gathering all my vital belongings, I took once last glance at the room. It looked as plain and unused as it was when I first walked in. It's just been a day or two and I've grown attached to this place and people I got pleasure to meet.

As I directed my way down the stairs I heard Paise call my name. Paise... how can I ever forget her? Especially when now, I know about Emily - being my only sister... growing attached to Paise will just make it thousand times worst to leave her.

She came up to me throwing me a confused expression.

"Eve... where are you going?" she asked oh so innocently. My heart melted at the innocence and pureness held in her voice. I was about to answer her when Cole took the hold of the bags from my hand, intruding me.

"She's leaving Paise.." he monotonously replied. I noticed how her eyes went wide as those words processed through her little head before tears began to form in her beautiful eyes.

"Paise... I-" I started however, couldn't really finish.

"No! don't go please... me and Coley only had you as our close friend..." she stated, holding on to my leg. I gently lifted her up in my arms making my way down the stairs. With Cole hot on our tail.

"Eve has to go Paisey... my mate is here to take me..." I sadly whispered caressing her cheek.

"Mate..?" she asked whipping a few tears that stained her soft cheeks.

I gave her a slight smile.

"Yes... mate... mate is referred to as soul mate.. who you're destined to be with no matter what... by the moon goddess.." her little eyes widen at this.

"Do I have a mate?" she questioned curiously with evoke. A genuine laugh escaped my throat.

"Yes... we all do, but you'll find yours once you turn sixteen or seventeen for some.." I stated truthfully.

"Okiii then, but I'll miss you and please please pleaseeeeee call me everyday Eveee....will you?" She pleaded with hopeful eyes.

"Yes princess, I will" with that I put her down kissing her cheek in process aware of eyes staring at us in awe. However, things didn't really furnish well due to Cole's unexpected behaviour towards me in front of Shane.

Yes, Shane stood there beside Xander, staring at me with pride and affection flashing through his eyes. As our eyes vision connected, I felt my wolf going crazy and purring with amazement of finally being close to our mate.

I slowly offered to carry my own bag, but Cole wouldn't bulge. This caused me to stare into his electrifying blue eyes which held strong depth of emotion. The most obvious and significant one was sadness, which sort of reflected my sentiment too. However, our eye contact attained us a loud growl from Shane defining possessiveness by vocalizing his sentiments.

In moment of seconds, I was pulled away from Cole including my bags. I felt sparks as electricity accelerate through my body. That's what made it obvious that I was pulled away by no other than Shane.

"Mine" he growled possessively. Cole's eyes changed a shade darker when his jaw clenched tight. The action didn't go unnoticed by me. But I don't get it... why is he behaving like such? I thought he was the one suggesting me to grant another chance to Shane in order to prove himself worthy of being my mate. So then why? and Shane going all possessive got my wolf's animalistic mode on forgetting our instincts.

'Well good luck to myself' I muffled extremely low so only I could hear. however, all I would think is...

Good luck Shane. You once rejected me, now you'll pay for it.
