My Rejected Mate

chapter 10

" Layra ,Kade has come to realize what a mistake he made. He..."

"Oh, I get it," I said cutting him off and sitting back up.

"Kade told you , didn't he ? He told you that I'm an Alpha by blood".

I should have known that Sylvester had an ulterior motive for coming to see me , and scolding Darla.I mean? How obvious was it that things like this don't happen normally?

"You think that scolding Darla in front me would get you on my good graces ? Ha! Don't hold your breath, Sylvester. You're only here because you want me to reconsider Kade as my mate. Too bad because that I will never happen,"I spat.

"You think you have a choice," he growled.

"I do have a choice, especially now that I am of age. I don't have to answer to you anymore ! I know the law , and like Jacob said this morning , as a non-member of this pack, neither you nor Kade have any legal hold on me".

"Layra, you had better think long and hard about the decision you have made".

"Or what?! Are you going to kill me like you did my pack!?! Go ahead and try ! I'd love to see you even attempt to kill me ! I'm an Alpha by blood, which means, you can't kill me!"

I spat back in his face. A little pissed at the rubbish.

"Layra, you are really testing my patience ! ".

"What's new? I test your patience all the time. The only reason why you haven't hit me yet is that you want me to take Kade back , well , f**k that! And f**k you!",And with those final words, he lost his temper and growled in my face.

He lifted his hand to hit me, but Jacob stopped him .

"Sylvester, I believe you have overstayed your welcome".

"Get your hands off me, Beta!".

"This isn't over,Layra!".

"Yeah, keep telling yourself that," I sneer at him.

He growls again and leaves. After a minute or two,Jacob finally says something to me, "Layra, that mouth of yours could make a pirate blush".

And I can't help but chuckle a bit.

"It's a bad habit, I know. I just can't seem to turn on my filter when it comes to this pack, I hate all of them, especially Sylvester and his family".

"I get it, they're pricks, and they just want you for your bloodline".

"I knew Kade wouldn't able to keep it a secret for long. He's completely unable to do anything for himself. Always has to turn to daddy for support. His range of authority is just as short as his d**k,"Layra stated.

"PFFT! HAHAHA!",Jacob bursted out laughing. I couldn't help but laugh with him .

"What's so funny?",I heard Raven ask as he came through the door.

"Dude,our Luna is witty, and it's awesome,"Jacob replied.

Raven smiled, but as fast it formed, it faded when he saw I was holding my wrist.

"What happened to your wrist!?",he said coming to the bed and looking at it.

"I fell off the bed,"I half lied.

"Layra, you are my mate , I can tell when you are lying".

"It's my fault, I went to take a quick piss, and Darla had come in".

"I TOLD YOU TO WATCH HER LIKE A HAWK!!" Raven roared.

"Stop, Raven! Don't be mad at him. You can't fault him for having a bladder the size of a pea. When you got to go , you got to go".

"Dammit, Layra".

I just smiled sweetly at him, and he immediately hung his head in defeat.

It appears that I can get him to give in to me pretty quickly,That might come in handy someday, I am definitely making mental notes..hehe.

"Let me get the doctor to look at your wrist," he grumbled and left again.

I looked over at Jacob, who was glaring at me .

"What?"

"My bladder is not the size of a peanut . I hadn't peed in over 12 hours,you know?".

"Would you have rather run twenty miles every day for the next calendar year?"

He sobered up immediately.

"Thank you".

When the doctor came back, it turned out it was a small sprain in my wrist and nothing more.He wrapped it up for me and said it would take at least another 48 hours to heal.

When I was finally released,Raven escorted me outside of the packhouse so I could get some sunlight. This was probably the first time I had actually been outside when it was still daylight, and it was bright and hot, but it felt nice .

The rays of the afternoon fall sun felt so good on my skin.We walked over to a small bench in the garden, and just sat there. I took in the sunlight, just like the doctor ordered. Thirty minutes, the doctor had said.That wasn't going to be an issue. This felt nice,very,very,nice.

As we were just sitting there taking in the sun, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I sensed different flowers, animal life, and the refreshing scent of fresh rain. I opened my eyes and realized it was coming from Raven.

Goddess , his scent was so invigorating, it just gave me life.Kade's scent wasn't as enticing, I mean, it was enticing enough for me to go find him, but that was about it. Once I realized it was his scent, that was it.

"Darling, are you okay?",Raven asked.

"Hm?"

"You seem to be deep in thought , are you okay?"

"I'm fine," I smiled.

"This is the first time in many years that I've felt the sunrays warming my skin. I love it".

"Well, I'm sorry to ruin your zen moment, but it's been about thirty minutes, we should head back in so you can rest some more. We should also get you something to eat",I nodded, and we headed back in.

As we made it through the front door,a lot of people started to look at us, and not just pack members of Crimson moon, but even the other visiting Alphas, Betas, and their pack members. Some people smiled, some glared, and some just blankly stared.

We went to the staircase , but instead of going up, I went to my room.

"Layra,where are you going ?", Raven asked.
