My Mate

1667 Words
It's been three weeks since I told Dillan we needed to focus on this relationship. He's ignored and ghosted me ever since. I get dressed and head out to my truck. I need to buy real groceries. I'm almost out of the ones I had before. I hop in and start heading into town. I decide to drive past the hardware store. He isn't there today… I sigh…  I get home late. My house shows no signs of visitors. I head upstairs and throw on some Jean's and head out to the fire starting. Rosie, Walter, Alice, and zach are all there to greet me,      "Still nothing?" Walter asks I nod no. He sighs.       "I think I'm going to reject him," I sigh.  He puts his arm around my shoulders and smiles a bit to try to help me feel better. I head over to my friends and try to enjoy my night. It's hard. My fox is bugging me about dillan. Finally I go to Walter about it.      "I don't know why, but my fox won't stop bugging me…" I tell him. We head away from the group,      "Is it dillan?" He asks      "I-I don't know, all I know is she's crying," I tell him He starts to get angry and I see him begin to shift. He uses his alpha command on me to shift as well and I run. I follow him as best as I can until he stops at someone's house. He shifts us back and grabs a shift back and we get dressed quickly.       "He's in here," he knocks on the door and I hide far far away. I don't even want to see dillan.  The girl from the bonfire that night opens the door in skimpy lingerie,      "Why hello alpha. How are you?" She flirts      "I'm guessing dillan is here?" He growls      "You just interrupted, we were just getting started," she smirks. And my heart breaks.       "You two should be starting nothing," Walter growls and suddenly she is afraid of her alpha.  Dillan comes to the door. Shirt messed up. Hair messed up.       I sigh and wipe the tear falling down my cheek, "I, fawn, reject dillan…" I start      "No, fawn is here I know it," he says to Walter. Walter blocks him from leaving her house.      "Dillan you are showing signs that you will never be a worthy alpha. Someone that could cheat on their mate like this and leave them wondering for a month, is not worth having as a leader," I hear him finish.       "She invited me in!" He protests       "And you should have the goddamn brains to say no!" Walter yells at dillan. I've never seen him more angry.       "I want to talk to fawn," dillan says  I get up and sprint home. I was hiding to begin with so I know he doesn't see me run. I wipe tears off my face every few seconds until I trip over a tree root. I let out a small cry. I force myself up when I sense dillan on his way. Before I know it I'm at my front porch and up the stairs inside the house. I slam the door and sink to the floor. I lift up my pant leg… I'm bleeding. I think I broke my ankle. I start sobbing uncontrollably at the sight of it. I pass out not long from the pain. In my groggy state I can hear pounding on my door. I try to answer hoping it's Walter, and my hand tries to reach for the handle, but I fall unconscious. I wake up in a doctor's bed. Where am I and who is with me? All these questions start flooding my mind. I decided to breath. I have to.  A doctor walks in. A nice older looking man in his 40's. He smiles his friendly warm smile.       "Fawn how are you feeling?" He asks      "Confused," I admit. He smiles and nods      "I'm doctor Williams and you broke your leg. You had 4 fractures all the way up your hip. Did you walk or run on it?" He asks I nod yes      "That's why it was so bad," he nods "it should only take a few days to heal if you've shifted recently," he adds I am a bit surprised      "Shifted aren't you a normal doctor?" I ask      "Well yes, but I'm a fox and I come out here from time to time when I'm needed to help, so no one is discovered in a real hospital," he explains. I nod        "Then, yes I have shifted," I answered his question. He smiles and hands me a prescription bottle.        "For the pain, and if things get worse then call me," he says "otherwise stay off your leg for a few hours, then try not to fully walk for a few days and it should heal rather quickly. And I'll be honest it might take a bit longer or less time. I'm not sure exactly, for you're the last full blooded female. I've heard of you, but never thought I'd meet you," he admits I smile then remember I was alone when I passed out… who brought me…       "Did anyone come with me, you know, when they brought me here?" I ask       "Your aunt has visited once I'm guessing before she left for work, alpha came by to see if you were alright, but dillan brought you in. He was extremely worried," he says       "I don't know why, he doesn't even act like my mate… the night this happened he was with someone else," I sigh He looks concerned for me and gives me a note with his number.       "I am also a therapist. If you need me, call," he says before heading out.  I look around the room. No flowers… no cards. Nothing. I must not have been here long. I look down at my bottle of pills. It reads twice a day until out. There's a knock at my door and I feel uneasy. I didn't answer at first. The person on the other side knocks again.       "Who is it?" I hesitantly ask      "Can I come in?" Dillan sighs      "No," I'm harsh with my words. It's silent for a moment.        "About wendy…" he adds. So that's her name.       "I don't want to hear it," I cut him off. I then remember that I was going to reject him, but I had to leave before I could actually do it. It's almost like he knew what I was doing… his fox might've felt my rejection.        "I just want to talk," he says       "You've had more than enough time, now please. Go away," I call out then hide under the covers of the bed. I start crying. And I can tell he isn't leaving. He sits against the door. I know because I can see his shadow under the crack of the door. After a bit I pick up my phone. Alice texted me, she's going to stay with Zach at the main lodge. Walter texted me a get well soon picture. And there are 12 missed calls from dillan. And a text that says 'if you don't answer I'm breaking the door down'. That's when I noticed the huge bruise on my forehead. It looks like a straight line going right across.      "What the f**k is this?!" I shout       "It's alright! I can explain!" Dillan shouts through the door, "can I come in?" He asks again       "Hell no!!!!" I scream at him. The door opens and the doctor runs in and I can see dillan in the doorway.      "I forgot to mention that…. It's alright, it's just a bruise. Calm down," dr. Willams speaks softly.      "You broke the door down didn't you?!" I scream at dillan, "I was trying to answer it and passed out asshole!"       "I'm sorry! I didn't actually break it down. I just tried to open it and I was upset and I didnt know you went unconscious by the door!"  I have to calm down, it's getting so heated in here both of us are going to change. And I shouldn't. Not injured anyways.      "Should he leave?" The doctor asks, more concerned for me than anything.       I sigh. As much as I want to say yes, "no, we need to talk," I add "I was going to reject him so we have a few things to discuss,"  Dillan looks almost afraid of those words. It now hits me, I have the power. I get to decide if we are mates or not And it scares him.       "R-reject me?" He takes a step in the room and the doctor closes it behind him when he leaves.       "Yes. I was going to the other night," I admit      "I want to explain. I never planned on going to Wendys," I cut him off      "But you did,"  It's quiet.       "Nothing happened," he adds      "Only because of Walter interrupting," I growl "Walter would be a better mate than you," i stab His eyes are pained. I know what I'm saying hurts.      "I'm sorry," he sighs "I'm not good enough for you," he looks down.       "Every time I think we can start getting to know each other you do this. And you were the one carving my name as a kid and getting all intense with me, and all of it just vanished. You stopped." I tell him "why lead me on if you're going to act like this. Also why be jealous of Walter being around? You're thinking of someone else right now I'll bet," I sigh     "Yes, I want to throw Wendy off of a cliff," he mumbles.     "Then why keep getting involved with her?" I ask "and don't lie to me,"      "She thought she was my mate before. every time I go to tell her we aren't, or that I don't want her around, he throws herself at me," he tells me     "Then you should be smart enough to leave," I'm still angry and harsh with my words     "You sound like Walter," he mumbles.      "Then maybe we are right, and have a point, and I don't want to see you until you figure that out, plus I'm kinda mad at you for this," I point at my head, "I won't reject you," he smiles at my words "yet," I add. His smile fades a bit,      "Well I have to go to work, but I do want to talk with you later," he says.      "After work," I say He nods and leaves.
