Love me or Forget me

"Why are you ashamed of me?!" I yell as tears stream down my face.

He stops looking out the balcony and turns his attention towards me, his glare as cold as ice, sending shivers down my spine. I will not be weak in front of him.

"Why am I ashamed of you? Tayla, your an Omega! How will other packs think if they find out that the second largest pack's Alpha has a Omega as a mate?! Embarrassed Tayla! They would think my pack is weak! That we have a weak Luna!"

I wipe my tears angrily and walk up to him, leaving space between us so his touch doesn't distract me.

"Ashton, your the only one who thinks that! The pack doesn't think of me as an embarrassment, neither do other packs! I've gotten along with everyone! My dad was a tracker! I'm not weak! There's a reason that the Moon Goddess put me as your mate." Weeping I put my hands up to his face grabbing both sides.

He looks sad and regretful at the same time. He grabs my hands and lets them fall. I look to the ground ashamed.

"You can't get over the fact I'm part Omega can you?"

He stays silent. I know my answer just by his actions.

I slowly back away and laugh a sad laugh. "Why don't you just reject me then?" He looks to the ground then looks up at me. His eyes are glassy, and the look in his eyes was regretful and saddened.

"Because if I reject you, I'll be weak and unable to care for my pack. " He begins to walk away, but before he could, I spoke up. "You can either love me the way a mate should or forget me, and I'll leave, I'll run away, no rejection. Just heartbreak."

He nods and walks off. That sure felt like rejection. I fall to the ground and let the sobs rack my body. I thought mates were supposed to love and cherish their mates, I thought that they would keep them safe and be the only person that makes them feel loved. I thought my mate would take me away from all my bullying back home, what have I done to deserve this?
