Jane's POV
Nicholas, who was soon to be the alpha of our pack was my mate. To say I was surprised would be an understatement. My wolf went crazy, howling as she couldn't control herself. I proceeded to speak but was cut off by him
"Let's go somewhere more private,” he broke the silence and my wolf was excited just by him talking.
“I wonder how his touch would feel like.” My wolf purred in my head and I shook my head not believing what I was hearing. She needed to chill out, but I couldn't help but imagine what it’d feel like too.
I followed after Nicholas as he led us to a more private section of the house. The music at this side of the house wasn’t as intrusive so we’d be able to talk without much interruptions.
My body jolted as I was shaken from my thoughts. His voice echoing from the other side of the room as he peered out of the window.
"I can't believe you’re my mate.” His voice was rough and filled with so much disappointment which made me scoff.
"Excuse me? That's kind of rude. What do you mean by that?”
"You are an Omega, Jane. A nobody. What use would you be to me and the pack? I need a strong Luna, someone who can fight by my side. Someone who can be in charge when I'm gone and not just some burden." Nicholas never once looked at me as he stated coldly.
His words however made my heart ache. My wolf was also very furious about this.
"How dare he say such words?! And here I was, already head over heels for him. If he wasn’t our mate, I would have torn him apart. He really hurt my feelings.” My wolf whimpered.
"You can train me, show me how to fight. Make me stronger, Nicholas—please.” I begged with both my palms together. I knew I sounded desperate but I couldn’t care less.
"I'm afraid I can't do that. I have far more important things to do and worry about. I'll see you around, Jane.”
With that he left me with my thoughts. He didn't fully reject me yet so he might probably change his mind. But I couldn’t help but let doubt cloud my mind.
I checked my appearance with a nearby mirror and made my way back to the party. I wasn’t really in the mood but it would be wrong to leave guests hanging so I steeled my resolve and kept a smile on my face.
Anne and a few our friends spotted me as I fully went down the stairs and they approached me with furrowed eyebrows.
"Where have you been?” Anna asked as she grabbed my hand.
"Oh, no where. I was just overwhelmed by everything and needed a breather.
"C’mere." She pulled me into a tight hug and kissed my cheek.
"You’re better now, I assume?” Her hands were still on my shoulders as she pulled back from our embrace.
"Yes, I am. Thank you, Anne, you truly are the best.” I grinned at her, although it was slightly forced I couldn’t bring myself to tell her what just went down, not yet.
The party finally came to an end, I personally thanked everyone for coming and it was exhausting. I let out a big sigh I didn't realize I was holding as the last person left.
"Are you sure you're good? You seem and look lost, talk to me.” Anna had been watching me since I came down. I was grateful but she was hovering and hovering made me anxious.
I replied her "It's actually nothing"
"Do not even lie to me right now I've known you since like forever so I know when something is wrong, start spilling she said
After a while of contemplating, I finally decided to speak
"I found my mate"
She squeals in excitement, why are you gloomy about it you should be happy she added
"He rejected me"
"He what who does he think he is I'm going to kill that son of a b***h" she said
"You can't its Nick.
"Nick?
"As in Nick soon to be alpha?” "Yes, that nick."
"I'm so sorry Jane." She spoke
"Why are you sorry, it's not your fault, this just shows I'll always be seen as a nobody I mean who gets rejected by their mate. I sat down not knowing when a tear drop escaped from my eye, with that I became a sobbing mess.
Anne, stayed with me in silence comforting me as each tear escaped my eyes
"You are much more important than you think, you are not a nobody if Nick can't see that then it's his lost"
"I know you are only trying to make me happy; I will never be worthy.
"OH Jane, please don't say this."
I didn't bother listening to what she had to say, I was too weak and broken to respond. I made my way to the room telling her I needed some space, I eventually cried myself to sleep
As if getting rejected in reality wasn't enough, I saw him in my dreams. My own self-loathing haunted me. I was struggling and my wolf was also all over the place which wasn't helping at all. I finally got to sleep a little, but it felt like I just closed my eyes and the sun also decided to wake up. I forced myself to get out of bed, the events of last night still playing in my head leaving me weak.
I made my way to the bathroom dragging my feet, to say I looked a mess was an understatement, I splashed water on my face, looking at myself in the mirror, my eyes were all puffed up from me crying through out the night, I made my way to the shower cleaning myself up, I still had to go to school staying home would only make me feel worse.
I stepped out of the room and everyone stared at me fearing to break the silence, I guess Anne already told her parents what happened
I finally spoke up breaking the silence.
"Good morning"
Anne's parent finally spoke, "Hey darling we are really sorry about what happened"
I managed to let out a weak smile
"Thank you".
"You know you could skip if you wanted to today" Anne spoke up
"That won't be necessary"
I explained why I didn't want to stay home, thankfully they respected my decision
Anne and I made our way to school, on getting there I was greeted by a few people who came for the party, it was also weird how this particular set of people bullied me for a very long time, till one day Anne stepped in, with the corner of my eye I spot Nicolas. I approached him before he could run away.
"We need to talk; we didn't finish our discussion yesterday you just stormed off.
"I don't think we have anything to talk about. I don't want you I hereby reject you as my mate.
