My Second Chance

Chapter2

Where would you go?, you have nobody Amanda. I stood still not saying a word, not moving.

Thinking that was all he had to say, I walk towards the door ready to leave, “walk out that door and it's over”, Zack said.

Paying him no mind I walk out the door, not looking back, but what Zack said next struck me.

“I, Zack Reynolds, reject you, Amanda Lane, as my mate”.

My steps froze, silenced by overwhelming pain and heartache. My tears fell like rain, I was in pain, so much pain. “How could he do this to me”, the pain of rejection consumed me, threatening to drown my spirit.

“Have you gone mad Zack?, rejecting me? Is that your new way of trying to control me?”, I ask him as I fall to the floor slowly, enduring the pain of rejection.

I look up to see a smirk on his face, there was no remorse, all I saw was the face of a man, who seems to think he has done nothing wrong.

If he thinks I am going to fold like I always do, he is horribly mistaken, “ I, Amanda Lane, accept your rejection”

The moment I finished my sentence, Zack fell to his knees, his body trembling slightly. He looked at me with a face, that could not believe what was happening. He was shocked.

On his knees, he growled and moaned in pain, trying to bear the pain of rejection. Gasping for air like he didn't have enough, i pitied him for a second.

Just a second.

Throughout the history of werewolves, mates hardly reject each other, but when they do, the pain is said to be excruciating.

I needed to leave the room, I too was dealing with my own share of pain.

I gathered my self up and left the room, the pain blurred my vision and my thoughts.

Disoriented, walking through the halls, I bump into someone, I mumble a sorry and walk past. The person seems to have said something, but I couldn't catch it.

Finally getting to my room, I close the door and fall to the floor, my hand on my chest as I try to gasp for air. At that very moment, it seemed like the oxygen around me was not enough, and with that I pass out.

NEXT DAY

It's morning, the early risers chirping, morning sun beams peeking through my window, birds about their morning ritual looking all cheerful. Well I was the tad opposite.

My day was not going well, and if one could see me they could tell right away.

I was lacking energy both physically and spiritually. I could hear my wolf moaning, clearly drained.

Trying to piece myself together, I hear a knock on my door. I ignore it the first and the second time but the person keeps knocking.

Irritated, I get up to open the door. Standing in front of me was the last person I wanted to see, Zack.

“What do you want?” I ask Zack, looking at him with an irritated expression.

“My office in ten minutes” Zack walks off without saying another word.

“That's it? My office ten minutes, really??” I ask him, he stops for a second and walks off the next.

what was I expecting, it's not like he would've come to my room to beg me to stay. I tried not to think of it and got ready.

Did the usual morning routine, wore my clothes and looked in the mirror for a once over. Looking at myself in the mirror, I looked pretty basic. Wearing a long denim skirt and a white blouse, brown boots, my hair styled in a messy bun.

Checking myself out, I said to myself, “ I think I look alright”. I grab my bag and head to Zacks office.

I wonder why he wants to me to come to his office, to talk? Did he have a change of heart? Still wondering why Zack would wants me to come to his office, I bump into someone. I mumble a sorry and turn to see who it was.

Audrey Mane, what a way to start my morning, “ughh, it's you”. I said, rolling my eyes. I don't think I am ready for anything that has Audrey on it, ignoring her I turn to leave.

Audrey looks at me with a scrunched up face and says, “gotten snappy I see, rejection must look good on you”

I stop in my tracks, and turn to look at her. She smirks, obviously happy she got my attention.

“what? surprised I know you just got rejected, It doesn't matter how I know, what matters is that, nothing connects you and Zack now, absolutely nothing”.

She walk up to me, this time only a few inches away from my face, “The next step, is watching you leave Amanda”, she says.

My face cracks up a smile, I guess It's my time to talk. I move closer, this time just breaths away “ I don't think I should expect much from a wolf, that barks more than it bites”

“Excuse me?” she asks

“C'mon Audrey, do you think you make the perfect Luna? Just because you have a pack and an alphas daughter, it still doesn't make you the ideal candidate to be a Luna”.

“So you think I can't do it?” Audrey obviously angry at the moment, asks

“oh Audrey, I know you can't do it, let's see how far stolen efforts can get you”, I reply

She was speechless, and I loved it. Taking in her expression, and feeling satisfied, I turn to leave. I didn't want to stay there for another second.

Walking and not looking back, she pulls me by my hair, “ahhh, what are you doing Audrey, let me go!!” I scream, trying to get away from Audrey.

“Why should I, you need to be put in your place”, she says and pulls harder. If she pulls any harder I might go bald. Tears were welling up in my eyes, “she's strong”, I thought.

“Let go of me you witch!!” I scream again, trying to get away from her grasp. She stops for a second, “she seems to have come to her sen__”, my thoughts were cut short when I felt a kick from behind, sending me flying.

“Did she really have to kick me”, thinking to myself as I groan in pain.

I opened my eyes and the next thing I see, is Audrey with her nails out, coming at me with full force. There was no time to react, I put my hands up, protecting my face, bracing my face for the pain.

Waiting there for the pain, I didn't feel anything, all I could hear for a moment was a still silence. I opened my eyes slightly to see what happened. Looking up, I saw Audrey whimpering silently and a hand gripping Audrey's neck.

I turned my head to take a look at my savior, it was Zack, my eyes wide from shock, “he saved me??”

“Don't act so shocked, get up” Zack says, looking down at me. I get up and straighten my clothes.

“We will talk about this later”, Zack tells Audrey and pushes her aside. He takes my hand and drags me to his office.
