Mated Redemption

Rejection

Cassie

    Of all things that Id thought finding my mate would be this was not one of them. Id experienced a mating bond with not only the most popular guy in the school, who was in fact a beta, but also with the one guy here that openly expressed how much he despised omegas. It was very clear he'd felt it too and hated the idea of it according to how he reacted. My wolf called for and craved to be near him again but I refused to follow him, feeling the ache deep in my soul as I made my way to class. 

    I hardly spoke the whole day, drifting through classes in a haze because I was so caught up in the idea of what had just happened. By the time it was time to head home I already felt exhausted from it all. The school was nearly empty when I finally worked up the strength to get up from my seat and leave the classroom. Hardly glancing at the nearly empty hallway I headed to my locker to collect my books. , Almost immediately after I opened it though it was slammed shut, causing me to jump back to avoid from being hit by the door. I turned towards the person who had been the cause of it prepared to give them an earful, but stopped in my tracks as the person came into view. Yet again my whole body strung tight and called for him. 

    "Um hi" I said weakly as I looked up at him. He wasn't too much taller, only holding about 4 inches on me, but he was definitely handsome. He had high cheekbones and a chiseled jaw, always wore his jet black hair slicked back and styled, and possessed a pair of gorgeous emerald eyes. How fate had decided he was her mate she didn't know, but definitely wasn't about to argue against it.

    "Don't hi me" he said with a hint of a growl behind his tone "I'm not here to sweep you off your feet and carry you into the sunset. I don't really give two shits about what my wolf has to say in this mater. You are not my mate and you will never be my mate. As far as I'm concerned I found my mate a long time ago when Jessica came into my life. To even think that I could be mated to a worthless omega like yourself I laughable."

    "How can you say that? I know your wolf reacts to mine as mine does to yours. It was evident this morning when you looked at me. The moon has mated us to one another. How can you willingly choose someone else?" I asked desperately, already feeling tears building in my eyes. 

    "It's easy honestly. My wolf doesn't call to you it knows how inferior you are" he stats contradicting his previous statement "Go ahead and tell people otherwise if you'd like, no one will believe you. Plus it will all be solidified at graduation when I very publicly claim Jessica, And break what ever ties my wolf may have to your own." 

    I was shocked and broken by his words. I wanted to throw up but refused to give him any more satisfaction that the tears slipping down my cheeks. His words had torn me in two and he acted as though he didn't even care. "How can you be so cruel? I didn't expect much from you, but disowning our mating was not one of them."

    "It's pathetic that you expected any differently" he chuckled shaking his head. "All I have to say further  about it is don't make me have to mark her sooner, because trust me I will and I'll enjoy every second of it" He growled before turning and walking away.

    Of all the things I'd expected to come from today this was not one of them. I'd effectively been cast to the side by my mate the same day I'd found him and he hadn't been bothered by it at all. My heart was shattered and my wolf cried equally as hard as I did on my way home. I felt empty and like I couldn't breathe by the time I'd got to the door and forced my self to go inside. Taking a deep breath I opened the door and stepped inside.

    "Oh you're home! We've been wait forever to hear about your day sweetie, tell us all about it!" My mom chirped as she walked into the living room to greet me, hoaxing another sob from my chest. "Oh no baby, what's wrong? You didn't find your soul mate did you? we tried to warn you-."

    "No mom I definitely found him" I sobbed.

    "Then what's the matter shouldn't you be happy" she asked wrapping her arms around me.

    "How can I be happy when the only words he spoke to me was to tell me he was rejecting me and willingly choosing another?" I cried into the crook of her neck, the tears spilling at full force once again.

    "Oh god sweetie. he must just be confused and scared. Some boys just frighten at the feeling of a mate bonding. I mean your dad avoided me for two whole days after we first felt our bond" she tried to console me rubbing small circles on my back.

    "That's not it at all mom. My mate is Axle Vanderbilt and he's well known for hating omegas. He very clearly stated that I was a disappointment and that he would not be accepting me and was even going to go as far as marking Jessica as his mate at graduation" I sobbed so loud that I nearly muffled my sentences.

    "Oh baby I'm so sorry. I'm so so sorry. I cant even imagine what you're going through. How can someone be so cruel" she practically sobbed along with me.

    "What's why all the crying going on in here? I can hardly focus" Her dad said jokingly as he finally made his was into the room as well, his face falling into a scowl when I looked up at him. "What happened? Who did this to you?"

    "It's her mate... he rejected her and is planning on claiming another girl as his mate" she explained to him not wanting to make me have to repeat it yet again.

    "Who is this boy" My dad roared in anger, like the true beta he was. I should of known with my mom and dads relationship that I too would be mated to a beta, though who would of thought fate would be so cruel. "I wanna have a long hard talk with him."

    "There's no point in it dad. It's Axle Vanderbilt, no one's gonna make him do something he doesn't want to do." I whimper as I rub the back of my hand across my nose.

    "No but the alpha maybe not us but the alpha sure as hell will" He growled.

    "No dad he won't... his dad's mot just the principle but also the right hand man of our Alpha" I sighed defeatedly as I pulled away from mom. "I just feel broken and alone."

    "Trust me sweetie we'll have this all straightened out by this time tomorrow. I'm gonna call a meeting with Stanley and we're gonna go plead your case. I know Omega and Beta matings are rare but that doesn't mean He can just reject you for being a beta" He stated and we all knew once dad set his mind to something nothing would change his decision.

    "Whatever you say dad. For now though I just want to rest." I say as i peck them both on the cheek and head towards my room. "I love you."

    "We love you too" The said sadly as the watched me leave.
