Rejected Mate

Chapter 24:Dance pt2

((Please watch to get a visual ))

"Ladies and Gentlemen may I have you're attention please."

As the host of the masquerade ball spoke me and the girls went to the back to get ready and so did the men.

Why am I nervous. Is it because he is gonna dance also or is that I haven't seen him and my nerves have settled and it's finally hitting me that he is here

He's my mate. He's the father of my children. I hate him but I love him at the same time.

"Shit . Shit . Shit . Shit . Shit . Shit ."

I just kept repeating until the girls came over and calmed me down

"Hey what's wrong . Are you nervous about dancing in front of everyone? Or is it about Tristen cause I can tell the host that he's not able to participate in the dance? "

I just shook my head I couldn't be a bitch it's not like I wasn't gonna see him after I danced

"UuUhhhhh"

"It's ok just shaking off my nerves. they are about to call our names and they already called the boys. So let's go "

And that's how it went...

From me having a mini anxiety attack to me going down a very long hallway

Waiting for the nice host to call my name

And once He did

I walked to my spot where I'm supposed to dance.

However, my partner was a volunteer. Yes, a volunteer. A person I didn't know

Nevertheless, let me tell you I did not expect to be standing in front or might I say dancing in front of him.

then also didn't expect to Waltz into his arms that quick. But  just like that all that anxiety I had 10 minutes ago just vanished.

For some reason, I didn't want to get out of his arms. I can't explain it.

Everything that happened from the past just came back and I didn't want to let go. But at the same time, I didn't know how he felt.

so I continued to dance. Yes, I continued to dance. But as we danced and danced around the ballroom it had to end. I just felt my anxiety come back once again.

I had to get away from him. I had to get out of this room but there were too many people. 

"Braelyn? "

I must have spaced out because he called my name and I just shut him out and began to walk away.

But blocking him out and walking away didn't help because he followed me and yelled out my name

"BRAELYN! ......wait."

He ran after me yelling my name. Loud as hell. But in the end, he sounds like a weak little boy. A boy who just got caught red-handed doing something bad.

"What do you want?"

He was speechless.

Didn't have anything to say

So I continued

"Look the dance is over I need to change. If you don't have anything to tell me then I'm leaving. "

"I'm sorry!"

"You've said that already too many times. Sorry is not gonna work on me. Listen to my words right now. I have forgiven you but I have not forgotten the things you have done over the years. Try and comprehend that ."

As I said those words I left right then and there. With him speechless again

---------------30 minutes later------------

Telling him I forgave him was a big deal for me but to tell him that I still have not forgotten what he's done over the years

It pains my heart knowing that he had to know I was alive even his wolf but his wolf was disgusted with him so I understood

It's time for the revealing of your mate by taking off your mask and walking around playing prey and hunter

"Hey, Braelyn you almost ready."

I just nod and looked into the mirror.

If I don't do this and test him. My chances are slim if he...if he doesn't come and find me then I won't give him a second chance

"BRAELYN!"

"I'm coming."

One last check

let me tell you that I look good in red.

I also look good in black too.
