Rejected for Her

Rejected For Her: 2

Chapter 2: Talk

-----------------------------

I followed him down the hall and we stopped at an empty classroom. Instead of a happy feeling, I felt something terrible was going to happen. He led me inside then closed and locked the door.

"Matt, what are we doing in here?" I whispered, still vaguely aware of my bad feeling.

"I don't want you." He stated simply, as if that whole sentence didn't tear his heart out.

"What do you mean 'you don't want me'?" I said using air quotes.

"I mean I don't want you. I have a girlfriend and she's perfect. Not one ounce of extra body fat on her anywhere. Beautiful, plump, pink lips that taste like cherries. No one compares to her." Every word he said was like a knife to my heart. I couldn't stand it and he didn't stop there.

"The curves on her body are outstanding. She is everything you aren't and could never be. You can try but you will fail at getting me to love you. You are not my mate and I, Matthew Williams, Beta of the Red Moon pack, reject you, Kayla James as my mate." He finished speaking and I felt like I couldn't breathe. I felt like I was drowning in my own pain. Like someone had cut me open and left me there to be eaten by wild animals. My wolf was howling in agony and my face was contorted with pain. But then it all disappeared. In place of the pain, I felt numbness. I blinked up at him, studied him. His eyes held relief. Perhaps he was relieved he didn't have to deal with me anymore.

"I, Kayla James, accept your rejection." I responded monotonously. I proceeded to walk out of the room and to my next class. My classes flew by with me not at all paying attention. I skipped lunch and took a walk around my school's campus. As soon as school ended, I nonchalantly made my way to my locker.

"Hey! Hey Kayla! Siiiissss!" I heard my sister yelling and slowly turned to face her.

"Yes?" I spoke dryly. She looked confused at my tone of voice but decided to forget it.

"Soooo, Matt is having a party tonight and I was wondering if you wanted to come!" The mention of Matt's name sparked pain in my heart. I winced but my sister took that as disinterest in a party.

"Oh come on, pleeaassee? I know it's not your scene but I'd love to have you there. We never hang out anymore." She pouted. I thought about it. It's just a party. Maybe I won't even run into...him. Maybe I'll even meet someone else.

"Okay, sure." I responded.

"Really?" Eliza shrieked.

"Yeah." I whispered. My sister squealed and hugged me. I patted her back awkwardly. I wasn't exactly in the mood to hug the person my mate rejected me for. 

Eliza released me and started talking about the details of the party while I took some books from my locker.

"Hey Eliza," I interrupted, "Why don't you just text me the info? I gotta go and I'm sure M-Matt is looking for you." I struggled to get his name out and she noticed. She looked at me weirdly but before she could question me, Satan came around the corner and called her away. She waved goodbye to me and I watched as she ran up to him and kissed him. I felt the pain of a Mate's Rejection rearing its ugly head but before I could feel too much, it disappeared again, leaving me numb.

Two hours later I was dressed in a rich purple, skin tight dress. It has slits right under my breasts on the sides and a criss-cross neckline. I checked myself out in my mirror. I had already done my hair and makeup and now I felt like a new person. I threw on a pair of silver platform stilettos and grabbed my car keys. I typed the address my sister had sent me into my gps. Unlike many other werewolf communities, ours did not have a Pack House. We just created our own werewolf neighborhoods that was run by the mayor who was our Alpha. It was a nice system and it worked well.

I arrived at a lavish cabin, deep in the woods, about 20 minutes later. I sat in the car for a bit, watching the teen wolves talking with each other outside or partying hard inside. I flipped down my visor mirror and fluffed up my hair and reapplied my lipstick before I got out of my car and walked inside. The music was blaring and it was hard to see with all the flashing lights.

I spotted Eliza sitting in a beanbag chair, cuddled up to Matt. I scowled internally. I walked up to them, pushing through too many dancing, grinding, sweaty wolves.

"KAYLA! YOU MADE IT!" Screamed my sister over the music. I just nodded. She got up and squeezed me before whispering loudly in my ear.

"I didn't think you'd actually come." I chuckled and whispered back.

"Well, I needed a change in scenery." My face went blank after that sentence. My voice sounded deeper than it usually was. I shook my head, that's impossible. It's probably just the music messing with my hearing. My sister pulled me down with her as she sat down. I would've been fine with that if it wasn't for the fact that I ended up half in her lap and half in Matt's. I scowled at him and got up, ignoring the sparks that spread across my skin. I stalked my way across the room into the kitchen. I spied some alcoholic drinks that usually I would steer clear from. But seeing as how I was rejected today and I haven't felt my wolf since then, I decided that I needed one. I poured drink, after drink down my throat until I was entirely smashed. Only the Moon Goddess knows what type of trouble I'll get into tonight.

I woke up the next morning with my panties on the doorknob, a sore feeling in my crotch area, and an insane headache. The sun was shining in my eyes and I knew I looked a mess. I got up slowly and looked at the other body in the bed. I gasped when I saw long hair and curvy frame.

"WHAT THE-"
