The rejection.

I could hear Mia's voice calling out a far but everything had faded. I felt everyone's eyes on us still. They might have also noticed.

While he boldly called me his mate all I could blatter out was "Jack?"

I didn't feel the same way I was hoping to feel about my mate. Something was off setting about it a little bit. Ohh now I remember. I was worried of him rejecting and humiliating me in front of everyone. For long he had proved to have no liking for my inability to shift. He always hated me as much as () her perfect girlfriend. It would be stupid of me to not expect rejection from him. Couldn't the Moon Goddess grace me with anyone else other than him?

For a moment we just stood there looking at each other. Maybe wondering how wonderful would it be if he humiliated me in front of everyone.

It was when he said " I'm sorry Kamila I have to reject you." That I lost it. Yes I was thinking it could happen but I never wanted it to happen. I just wanted to be happy with my mate, was that too much to ask? I didn't choose to be wolfless. Why was I being punished for it? Tears start rolling down my eyes since my own fears proven to be true. I felt like I had nothing to live for in this world. That I could just vanish this moment and time. "I Jack Anderson reject you Kamila Sky as my..." I never wanted to hear him finish that sentence. I just barreled out of the party crying. I just felt I could scream with all of my might. I was broken like never before. They were right when they say being rejected by your mate is the worst feeling. I couldn't see where I was running too. My breath felt shallow from running and crying. Feeling like the earth could open up and swallow me whole right now. I was truly devistated.

"Kia! Kia Stop!" Someone blocked my way. I tried to break free but they were normally stronger than me. I was weak already. So weak.

"Mia just let me go. I just don't want to be here anymore." I cried.

" I know you are hurting but Kia you have to be strong. You can't let them burn you down like this." She said. I was hurting yes but they were not burning me down. I was already ashes ready to be thrown away.

"Leave me alone Mia. Just let me go someplace far. I.. I..." I felt my breath caught up in my throat. I couldn't speak neither breathe. I was having a panic attack for the first time. I felt intense pain on my chest making it even harder to breathe. I was quickly losing ground.

"Kia are you okay?" Mia asked worriedly but I couldn't answer. I was losing my self. The world swirling around like crazy. Before I knew it, it all went dark.

Finally my eyes opened in a familiar space. I spotted someone sitting besides me.

"Kiara my little angel. How are you feeling?" My worried mother asked.

" Dead." I replied. I was telling the truth. Everything inside of me felt dead.

" Don't say that Kiara." My mother brushed the side of my face.

" It's true mom. My mate rejected me. He rejected me in front of everyone." I reminded her. I could still remember every little detail vividly from last night. " I should have known better than to go to the stupid party." I responded. Maybe if I hadn't my mate wouldn't have rejected me. I wouldn't be feeling so torn right now.

"Kiara hear me out. This will pass in a few days. It's not the worst thing to be rejected. There are some worse things out there. You just have to accept it and the Moon Goddess will grace you with a better mate." She told me. I wanted to agree with her but it felt hard. How could there be worst things with this feeling like the worst that could ever happen to a werewolf.

" What if I don't get a better mate? How can I even heal from this? How can I heal from rejection?" I asked.

" Don't stress yourself about things out of your control. We'll get through this together. I'm here for you. Just get a well deserved break and forget that stupid boy because soon enough he will regret ever rejecting you." She encouraged giving me a soft kiss.

"Are you going to kill him?" A part of me felt like it right now. I didn't want to ever lay my eyes in him ever again. The only solution was if either one of us dies. I didn't care who, I just wanted to never make contact with him ever again.

" Just sleep my little angel. I'll wake you up when lunch is ready." She told me tucking me in. She left the room and all the unwanted thoughts came flooding back. I couldn't sleep, all I could think of was rejection. This definitely is the worst I have ever felt in my life. Tired of tossing in my bed back and forth I got up and went to the bathroom. I filled the bath with warm water and set inside. I was having a hard time to rest the urge to slit my wrists and let my self die. Seems no matter what I do, I couldn't forget.

Finally I got out and wore a sports bra with some shorts and went downstairs. I found my father sitting on the couch watching TV. When he saw me he looked worried. I have never seen him so worried before.

" Hey dad." I sat besides him. He only responded with a tight hug. I didn't resist, it felt really needed at the moment. Breathing his earthy cologne and being in his warmness the best place to be. I don't know how long I stayed in his embrace fighting the urge to bursts out crying.

"It's going to be okay my baby." He finally spoke after a very long moment. I hope so too. I really hope it's going to be fine. I can't continue like this all my life. All I could remember was laying in his arms and I might have fallen asleep again.
