My Rejected Mate

chapter 11

"My room," I said pointing to the door.

"What?"

"My room, this is it," I said and opened the door.

He took one look inside,and then looked back at me in confusion,"Darling, this is a closet".

"Actually, it used to be the shoe closet,"I said in a smart-ass tone.He didn't take too kindly to that .

"You lived in this tiny thing for eight years?",He asked , and I just nodded.

"Layra, gather your belonging and come to the fourth floor".

"Why?"

"Because you will be staying with me in my guestroom until we leave in two days".

"Raven, I'm not allowed on the fourth floor unless it's to clean",I told him.

"Well, those rules no longer apply to you.Now,please do as I say.The fourth floor, take a left, and it's the last room on the right".

With that , he walked away and went upstairs.I gathered what little clothing and personal items I had and went upstairs to the fourth floor, I took my time and eventually made it to the fourth floor.

This was where all Alphas and Lunas stayed, including Kade. It just so happened that Kade's room was down the same hallway and was the last room on the left, right across from Raven's guest room.

As I make my way down the hall, careful to not drop any of my personal effects, I get to Raven's guest room and I realize that my arms are full.

I am about to kick the door with my foot when I hear a very unpleasant voice.

"Layra, what are you doing here?"

I spew a lot of undignified words in my head before I turn.

(Raven's P.O.V.)

I was still in shock over the tiny room that Layra had stayed all those while,it was space not fit for any living thing, especially not my Layra. The room showed just how inhumane the members of this pack were.

After about ten minutes, I felt that Layra was taking too long,so I got up to go get her, but then I picked up the faint scent of chamomile tea outside my door.

She was right outside, I was about to open the door for her when I heard someone.

"Layra, what are you doing here?"

"Ugh, what do you want, Kade?"

Why won't this damn pack leave my mate alone. Were they all deaf or just plain stupid ?

"That's Alpha Kade to you".

"You're not my Alpha,"She scoffes.

"I'm still an Alpha!"

"Leave me alone,Kade, I'm sick of you and your family f*****g up my life", Layra tells him.

"Come On Layra! Why are you doing this to me !?" he whined.

Really?What kind of weak Alpha whines?

"I'm not doing anything! I'm trying to move on with my life!", Layra proclaimed.

"You are mine, Layra!".

I had just about enough of his s**t.

I opened the door and stared Kade right in the eyes.

"GET.AWAY.FROM.MY.MATE!,"I expressed each word with great detail so even someone as slow as Kade would understand.

"Darling, go inside,"I tell Layra.

"Layra is my mate! The moon goddess gave her to me first!",Kade said loudly as if to challenge me.

"Alpha Kade from what I have gathered, you rejected her, and she accepted that rejection, which means,she is no longer yours", I grit my teeth, Jack wants to rip this guy to shreds, and I'm about five seconds away from letting him.

"And I also understand that she had to reveal her true identity to you in order to make the acceptance, so, either you actually have feelings for her , which are no longer relevant now that I'm in the picture, or you only want her for her Alpha blood".

"How do you know that she's.."

"She told me her name, her full name.Her father and my father were friends before your pack slaughtered her pack".

"Raven", Layra called my name softly and gently grabbed my wrist.

"Please, just come inside. He's not worth it".

"Layra, please, come back to me",Kade begged her.

"F**k you,Kade",She spat.

"Let's get one thing straight, even if you hadn't rejected me,I would have rejected you anyway. I want nothing to do with you or this pack. I told you that from the moment I accepted your rejection.I never want to be tied to you or this pack in any way, shape, or form. You can lie to yourself and to me all you want, but nothing will change the fact that I despise you. I always have, and I always will".

"Well, there you have it, Alpha Kade, Layra has made her decision. Now if you will excuse us, I need to have some bonding time with my Luna," I shoved him back, and quickly slammed the door in his face, locking it.

I let out a short and irritated sigh and turned around to face Layra.

"I'm sorry about that," she said .

"Why are you apologizing?You did nothing wrong".

"I should have been quicker about coming up here".

"Hey, you have nothing to apologize for," I said.

As I held her,I immediately noticed the difference in our heights and sighed in admiration of how well she fit into my body.

"Damn, I just realized you're really tiny. What are you , 5'2 ? 5'3 ?"

"I don't know to be quite honest, I've never had my height checked".

"Ok, well, I'm 6'4, and you barely come up to the middle of my chest",I said standing up straight and putting my hand at the top of her head to line it up.

"That's at least a foot difference".

"So, the tallest I could be is 5'4?"

"Yeah," I look down at her, and saw nothing but perfection .

Her hair was a sleek and shiny black, those almond eyes,her face was the size of my fist, her body was near perfection, although a little too skinny, probably from malnutrition, overall, Layra was damn near perfect for me .

"You're staring again," she said to me.

"Sorry, I was taking all of you in.I'm trying to commit you to memory...".

Raven trailed off when he realized how creepy he was getting.
