“I’ll see you guys in second.” I said to Lela and Seth, they had it done so that there schedules were exactly the same. They nodded ther heads and walked away holding hands. I sighed and turned around heading towards my locker. When I reached my locker I dialed the combination and it up getting my math book out because I have math first. I was just about to close my locker when I felt a presence behind me and judging by hour crazy my wolf was going it was Xander.
I slowly shut my locker and turned around to come face to face with my mate himself. He was statuling only a few inches away from me and if I was to move we would be touching.
“What do you want?” I asked bluntly. Xander smirked evilly at me and reached his hand up. He placed his hand on my cheek and sparks exploded wherever he touched. He stroked my cheek gently and I sighed closing my eyes. I leaned into his touch and I felt my wolf sigh in happiness. The moment was short lived thought because Xander whispered in my ear.
“We can’t be together.” He said quietly. My eyes snapped open and I took a step away from him. I looked up at his face to see that he was being completely serious. I felt tears come to my eyes but I pushed them away.
“So your rejecting me?” I asked quietly looking at the ground. Xander snorted causing my head to snap up.
“No.” He replied. I furrowed my eye brows and gave him a puzzled look.
“What do you mean? You just said we can’t be together.” I stated. He rolled his eyes at me and took a step forward.
“We can’t be together but I’m not rejecting you.” Xander said. I felt happiness rush into me when he said he wasn’t rejecting me but then confusion What does he mean we can’t be together.
“Then why can’t we be together?” I asked confused. Xander put his hands on my face and leaned in real close to me, his lips were just about to touch mine but he stopped at the last moment and uttered words that hurt my heart.
“Because I don’t want to be with you.” He said then stepped away from me with a smirk on his face. I felt my heart sink and this time I couldn’t hold back the single tear that slid down my cheek. I didn’t utter a single word as Xander waked away from me, I only watched with pain my heart as he did. My own mate didn’t want to be with me.
“Alright what’s wrong with you?” Lela asked as I sat down at our lunch table. Her and Seth were sitting on the other side of the table and I barely lifted my head when she asked. I shrugged my shoulders and started to pick at my lunch.
I heard Lela sigh from across the table and she reached across the table taking my hands in hers. I looked up at her and saw that he was looking at me
intently.
“What’s wrong?” She repeated. I broke eye contact with her and gently pulled my hands away.
“Nothing.” I spoke quietly. It’s not that I didn’t trust Lela, I mean I love her like a sister but its just to painful to talk about at the moment. I looked back
it out of me all day and its starting to get old. down at my plate and I heard Lela snort. She had been trying
to b
“Sure as hell doesn’t look like nothing.” She muttered sarcastically. I snapped my head up and I felt my eyes flash to my wolfs for a few seconds.
“Look just drop it Lela, I don’t want to talk about it.” I said and I couldn’t help it I lost control and let all of my alpha power slip threw. I saw Lela and Seth flinch and now there heads in submission and at least eight other people from my pack did the same even thought it wasn’t directed at them.
I immediately felt bad for using my alpha voice and I slowly took Lela’s hand.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to do that. I just got angry, I promise I’ll tell you I just can’t talk about it right now.” I spoke softly. Lela raised her head and I saw the hurt in her eyes.
“It’s okay I understand, I shouldn’t have kept asking.” She murmured. I shook my head at her and looked her in the eye.
“No you were just being a good friend, I shouldn’t have snapped.” I stated. She nodded her head but I could tell she was still a bit hurt. I sighed and let go of her hand looking back down at my food.
“He basically rejected me.” I whispered out but I knew she heard me because a loud gasp left her and Seth’s mouths. I looked up and saw that Lei had a horrified look on her face and Seth looked plain out pissed.
Chapter 18
“What do you mean?” She asked shocked. I sighed and told them everything that happened and by the time I was done Seth had a murder
his face.
