My Mate.....Rejected Me [New Version]

9. Lucas

I was left speechless to say the least. Because this is not what I had ever expected to hear. Especially from him of all people. I mean anyone who has been bullied would be left confused and speechless if they were in my shoes. So believe me when I say that I'm dumbfounded by Caleb's apology when he showed up at the pack house this morning and the first thing he said was that he was sorry for everything that he's down to me since I arrived here with Princeton while pregnant with Bella.

"I know you don't believe me but I'm truly sorry for everything that I did and for asking my friends to participate as well. I shouldn't have judged you and it was wrong of me to categorize you on the same table as those power hungry rogues that have been terrorizing the pack for years," he said as he scratched the back of his neck with an apologetic look on his face but I was having a hard time believing him though. I mean what caused him to even come here and apologize now of all times?

"Why are you apologizing now?" I asked with a raised brow and arms crossed, "you had plenty of chances to apologize when you first started bullying me but you never did so why now?"

"I know I should've apologized sooner but I was an idiot and still immature but I suppose being away from here and from you for the past 5 months and then coming back only to have a rogue attack and you saving my stupid ass made me open my eyes and realize that you're not the same as those rogues" he replied as he rubbed his neck and I blinked

"So you're only apologizing because I saved your ass?" I replied and he shook his head

"No, of course not. I was stupid for treating you the way I did without knowing you. I categorized you with those power hungry rogues without really knowing that you were much a victim of them as any other wolf" he stated making me narrow my eyes, "look I know I fucked up and I'm really sorry for everything I put you through since you arrived here with your son"

"How do I know you won't change your mind tomorrow morning or the next or so on and so forth?" I quizzed

"I won't, and if I do you have every right to do whatever you want and I won't stop you or anyone for that matter. You don't have to forgive me right now but I hope that you do one day" he said before he excused himself and walked out of the kitchen and joined the rest of the pack and friends in the yard.

"Do you believe him?"a voice asked startling me and I swirled around to face Mama who raised a brow and I sighed shaking my head

"I'm not sure. I mean he's got a long ways to go to prove himself that he's actually sorry," I replied and he hummed

"We'll just have to keep an eye on him and his friends for now to see if he's truly sorry for what he and his friends have done to you in the past" he pointed out and I couldn't agree more with him

"I know,"

And look out we did.

Caleb has actually been proving himself a lot in the past couple of weeks since his return from Arizona and he has even stopped one of his football buddies from punching me a few days ago when he returned to school with Erick and Damon.

"Don't even think about it, Gonzalo" Caleb had warmed as he found said teen pinning me against a wall right after English class. I knew he hated and blamed me for getting Caleb and his two other teammates in trouble and sent away in the eve of their first football game resulting in them losing the game 18-35. I mean how the hell is that my fault? It wouldn't have made a difference if Caleb, Erick and Damon were here because our football team sucks. You'd think with having one of the best coaches in town that they'd at least tie but nope. They are literally the worst. The only reason we're one of the top best schools with the best teams is due to the soccer, baseball, tennis and lacrosse teams.
