Janes POV
I heard what he said, and for some reasons time stopped and I was frozen, my head started spinning around, I couldn’t see clear.
"You can't just reject me like that," I managed to say, my voice quivering with a mix of sadness and anger"
Nicholas sighed, his expression hardening. "Look, Jane, I didn't ask for you to be my mate. It's a burden, and I have responsibilities to the pack. I can't afford distractions, especially from someone like you."
"Someone like me?" I repeated, my voice barely above a whisper. "What do you mean by that?"
Nicholas crossed his arms, his eyes cold holding no emotions in them. "You're an Omega, Jane. You're weak, vulnerable. You wouldn't last a day in the pack without me, and I can't have that kind of liability holding me back."
I felt like I'd been slapped. The words stung, and my wolf growled in anger, but I refused to back down. "That's not true," I said, my voice steady but on the inside I was trembling . "I may not be a strong fighter, but I have other skills, other strengths. And I would never be a liability to you or the pack."
Nicholas snorted. "What skills could you possibly have that would make a difference?"
I took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart. "I'm smart, Nicholas. I'm resourceful. And I'm loyal. I would do anything to help you and the pack, even if it means putting myself in harm's way."
Nicholas raised an eyebrow and scoffed "It's not enough, Jane. I need someone who can fight by my side, not cower behind me."
I felt a tear roll down my cheek, but I refused to let him see me cry. "You're making a mistake, Nicholas," I said, my tears threatened to fail me but I won’t cry in front of him, he isn’t worth a single shed. "You're judging me based on what you think I am, not what I can be. And that's not fair."
“I’ve made my decision so deal with it.” I stood in the hallway looking, I tried moving but couldn’t, I broke down crying I didn’t care if people could see me I was already too broken to care. Anna and my other friends heard what happened as they were trying to comfort me. I collapsed against the wall, my body shaking with sobs. I couldn't bear the thought of staying in that school, in that town, where everyone knew my shame. I pushed myself up, ignoring the concerned voices of Anna and my other friends. I didn't want their pity or their comfort. I just wanted to escape.
I stumbled through the hallway, blinded by tears. I didn't know where I was going, but I knew I had to get out of there. I burst through the front doors of the school and ran across the parking lot, not stopping until I reached my car.
I drove home on autopilot, my mind numb. I packed a bag, grabbing my clothes. I didn't know where I was going, but I knew I had to leave.
As I drove away from town,I was leaving behind the pain and the shame
