Revenge Of A Rejected Mate

Chapter Two

Dahila’s POV

An hour ago…

BEEP.

I hit the button on my alarm. I wasn’t asleep anyway. I haven't been able to sleep all night. My anxiety is through the roof about today. It's finally the day I get to find my mate and Goddess. I am so excited. I hope he is a good guy. I don't really care about looks, I just want him to be kind and sweet. If he treats me the way I deserve, then I am going to be happy with him.

I just finished curling the last piece of my golden-brown hair into waves. I decided to look nice for my mate today. I am wearing a light blue sundress with white daisies on it, my favorite white heeled wedge shoes, a gold bracelet my mom gave me as a gift and some gold moon earrings. My hair is down,and I even put on a light layer of makeup. I usually just wear a shirt and yoga pants with my hair in a ponytail or messy bun so today is a lot different. I decided my mate deserves my best.

BEEP.

My second alarm rings telling me I need to get out of the house, or I am going to be late. I run down the stairs, kiss my parents good morning, grab a banana, and then start rushing towards the front

door.

"Wait! Happy Birthday Sweetheart," my dad yells.

"Happy Birthday Sweetie. I can’t believe my baby is all grown up already," mom says with tears in her eyes.

I rush back over to the table where they are sitting, eating breakfast together.

"Thank you guys so much. I love you both and I would love to sit and eat but I am going to be late for school so I will see you guys tonight for the party."

I practically run out my front door and walk all the way to school with a smile on my face and a pep in my step. I know I am already going to be late for class but honestly, I don't care today.

Nothing can ruin my good mood. I walk in the front door of the school and am immediately assaulted by the most amazing smell. It smells like spicy cologne and pine trees and I just know it's my mate's scent and I need to find him. I start to follow the smell only to be yanked by my wrist into an empty chemistry classroom.

I know it's my mate who grabbed me because I could feel the lighting tingles in my wrist when our skin touched. I turn all the way towards him and look up into the eyes of my mate and I am blindsided.

There must be a mistake, or a joke being played on me. There is NO WAY Daryl the asshole is my fated mate. Judging by the scowl on his face, he isn't too happy about this either. He takes a deep sniff of the air and his eyes flash silver. Yup, his wolf knows I am his fated mate.

"No." That's all he says. One word. That's it.

"No?" I ask.

He goes to grab my arms but thinks twice about it.

The more we touch, the deeper the bond gets.

"NO! I am not going to have a mate who is a worthless waste of f*****g space and can’t even defend herself. I am the future Alpha of this pack. I can’t have a Luna who doesnt even have a f*****g wolf. I also want someone who isn't ugly as s**t and has nice t**s and an ass, which you obviously don't have either. I need someone who can protect and serve the pack and that is NOT you," Daryl sneers in disgust.

I know what is coming next. I can see he has made his decision. You aren't supposed to reject your fated mate, but it does sometimes happen. All the stories I have heard say that the pain is excruciating.

"I, Daryl Valdemar, future Alpha of the Dark shadow Pack reject you, Dahila Clifford, as my mate and future Luna," he says with no emotions.

Suddenly, a fire starts burning across my chest, spreading throughout my entire body. I hold back my screams long enough to say "I, Dahila Clifford, of the Dark shadow Pack accept your rejection, Daryl Valdemar."

I finally drop down onto my knees and start screaming but I'm not the only one. He’s clutching his chest while on his knees. If the pain wasn't that bad, I would laugh at the fact that I finally brought this childish man to his knees.

But I can't focus on anything else except the pain shooting through my body. Daryl recovers a lot faster than I do because I dont have my wolf and can't heal as fast. I am still screaming so he says to his friends, that I didn't even notice we're here, "Shut her up before someone comes in here to see what's going on. I don't want anyone else to know I had to be fated to this b***h even if I did reject her."

Scottie stuffs some kind of cloth in my mouth and it muffles my screams but I'm growing weak from all of the pain and the screaming, so I just lay there on the cold tiled floor.

He looks at his friends and starts getting frantic.

"I won't be able to get a second chance mate if I just reject her. It doesn't work that way. Oh goddess, I can't be stuck alone my entire life. I'm going to need a Luna."

"What do you want to do?" Scottie asks him.

"We can take her to the pack border, kill her and say we have no idea what happened to her. We can set her over the border and either the rogues or another pack will take care of her body," Daryl says way too calmly.

Almost like he has had this planned for a while. It honestly wouldn't shock me if he had since he has hated me for a long time.

I am just laying on the floor while they plot out my murder, but I can't force my body to get up and move. I am too weak right now. Goddess, do I wish I had my wolf right now. I am going to die today because some deranged man wants a different mate.

Arden backs up with wide eyes on Daryl

"ARE YOU INSANE?" He screams at him.

"I may have watched you make fun of her and stuff like that, but I am NOT helping you kill her because you don't want her as your mate." Arden shakes his head in disgust at him but Daryl just smirks at him.

"Either you help us, or I will tell my dad about the money you stole a few months back to pay for your little gambling problem."

I guess that got Arden’s attention because he just shut his mouth and stood still.

One minute, I'm on the ground and the next, I was slung over Scottie shoulder like a sack of potatoes. My body is weak from the pain of the rejection so I can't even attempt to fight them. I just hang there as the boys leave out of the side door of the building and head into the forest.
