Rejected; Stalked by Second Mate

I miss her

Dylan POV

Enjoy and remember every second of what just happened.

I squeezed my eyes shut and took a deep breath.

Goddess, I miss her.

I was sent away from training today, all because I could't focus. I am the Beta of the pack, and a new wolf was able to knock me down.

I was lying in bed, hugging the pillow she cried on that night. I kept thinking about her.

Her hazel eyes shining with adoration whenever she looks at me.

Her fresh, forest-y scent.

Her stark black short hairs that always land in her face, and frustrate her.

Her true smile that she only ever showed me, and no one else.

The melodious sound of her laughter that used to fill my room.

The way my t-shirts swallowed up her body, but at the same time, were barely long enough to cover what it should.

The way we moved as one being in other's arms.

The way our bodies fit together like a puzzle.

The way our lips and tongues danced to the same beat.

Yep, that was definitely my favorite moment with her. But now I can never have any moments like those ever again.

Even now, a week after the rejection, my heart still ached with each beat. I was barely able to get any sleep, and I was lucky enough to sleep, it wasn't peaceful. I'd have nightmares of that night. Over and over again. The look of utter shock, then complete disappointment that overshadowed not only her eyes, but her entire face, still devastates me.

"I'm so sorry, Rev." I said more to myself than anyone else.

I took a shaky breath, and then I let it out.

I let it all out.

I let the tears roll, as I hugged the pillow tighter, wishing it was Revenna.

I was overjoyed when I realized she was my mate, but at the same time I was frightened. I was scared to bloody death, because I knew what I had to do. And I hated it.

I wished there was a way I could take it all back.

I would have led her up to my room, and marked her then and there. I would have made her mine, and spent every day showering her with the love she deserved.

I would have...

I should have...

I should have led her up to my room, and marked her. I should have made her mine, and I should have spent every day protecting her from anyone or anything that even dared harm her.

Regret is always too late.

I eventually stopped crying and just sat upright with the pillow in my arms, staring out of the window at the dark night sky.

"Gray, I'm sorry for taking your mate away from you," I whisper to my wolf.

*She's your mate too. You hurt all 4 of us. Me, you, Rev and Freya." I shut my eyes for a moment. I forgot how close Gray and Freya were. They were just like Rev and I. Since they first woke up, Revenna found a way for them to communicate with each other. Whenever we shifted, they always ran together, although Freya was quite competitive.

"I have literally made the biggest mistake of my entire life. Nothing could ever beat this."

I wonder if she's alright.

The last I saw she shifted, and tore her favorite shirt, before she ran off to her secret spot. I knew exactly where she was going, but I wasn't able to get my body to move that day. I just stayed in my room and sulked.

Her car was gone, so I thought she had gone to visit her mom, but she never stayed so long.

I really hurt her, and Aunt Becca might just kill me for it.

Just as I was getting lost in more memories, my phone rang on the bedside table. The only reason I got up was to chuck the damned thing out the window, until I saw the caller ID.

Aunt Becca.

I blinked a few times and gulped. This can't be good.

I slid my finger over the screen and pressed the device to my ear.

"He.. hello?"

"Hello Dylan." Came her voice over the line. I shut my eyes to try and keep more tears at bay. She and Revenna sounded so much alike.

"Aunt B, I really am so.."

"It's okay, I didn't call to scold you or anything." She cut me off before I could apologize for hurting her daughter. For hurting the one person in this world I ever truly loved.

"What's wrong?" Her voice sounded strained.

"Would you be able to meet me somewhere? Preferably in the human town where I'm staying?" Oh, Goddess, this can;t be good.

"Aunt Becca, what happened? What's wrong?"

"Dyllie, calm down please. I just want to talk to you away from all wolves. And I would like to see you as well, because you sound dreadful."

Well, she wasn't far off.

We made plans to meet in a few days at her home in town. I decided to browse some guest houses close by, and take a week off from everything around here.

I found a nice guest house, just on the borders of the town, away from the hustle and bustle, but still close by, and made a booking. I'm leaving tomorrow, and really need to start packing. Alpha Caleb can get along perfectly fine without me, as he made so very clear throughout the week.

I threw a bunch of clothes on my bed, as I picked stuff out for the week. I made sure to gather all I needed from the bathroom, and stuffed everything into a duffel bag.

I tried to lay down and get some sleep again, but after talking to Aunt Becca, I felt anxious and restless.

I might as well hit the road, because I am not sleeping for the next few nights until I talk to her.

I decided to just shoot Alpha Caleb a text, spinning some story about relatives, and going away for a week.

He is going to have my head on a silver platter, but I didn't care.

I grabbed my duffel bag, and Revenna's teary pillow, and hit the road.
