Rejection

Chapter Seven

** Malachy **

I have waited for four years to find out who my mate was, four years! I should have been happy that I finally found her, and that she'd been so perfect in every way; her long blond hair that honestly was on the brink of being honey, her big blue eyes, her body- how it curved in ways that would leave men stumbling over their tongues. But, I wasn't. She had held on to that male beside her like he was a life line and it not only pissed me of, but it had pissed Ash, my wolf off so much that I had to turn and leave before o killed the pretty boy right then and there.

"Malac what's got your balls twisted?" I turned to my best friend who would be my Beta, Danny.

"I found my mate." I muttered. And instantly Danny took a seat beside me slapping my shoulder.

"Congrats! Our new Luna! Wow." He breathed, then I watched him frown, "what's wrong?"

I shook my head, "when I seen her she was holding hands with another guy." I admitted, Danny knew I had saved myself for my mate. And he knew how this would affect me.

Danny breathed deeply, "I see. Maybe he's a friend?"

I shrugged, "he wasn't looking at her like a friend."

Danny was about to speak when a couple females walked in and we listened to them talk, "oh my gosh! Did you see him? He's so fresken hot!" One girl gushed, fanning herself dramatically. "I know! That Hazel is also gorgeous! They make such a great couple! Even though I wish it were me."

I tensed, Ash roared in my head. Mine!!

I felt Danny's hand on my shoulder, "Malac. Calm down man." I shrugged off Danny's hand and stood up. I had to confront her, figure out what was going on. I walked out of the house, and rounded the corner. I didn't expect to bump into her, but I did. I looked down at her, not caring for her apology even though her voice washed over me like molten lava. "Follow me," I didn't wait for her reply but turned and began to walk towards the forest for privacy. When we were far enough in, I turned to her and just stated a fact. "Your my mate." I couldn't help but feel the disappointment build up at the outcome. Four years- kept repeating in my head. I could hear Ash trying to calm me even though he was just as confused as I was, just as upset.

"Is there something wrong with that?" Her angelic voice said, calmly but I could detect a bit of confusion which made me even angrier.

I scoffed, "well when my mate has another male and is teasing the rest of the men here yes it's a problem."

I watched as she looked at me shocked, but the confusion still clouded her eyes. "What?"

"The man standing beside you, holding your hand when my father introduced us." I said, trying my hardest to conceal the anger I felt.

Her sudden laughed bounced around my ears, almost melting me but I stood firm. "Sage? He's my friend, has been since child hood." She said, almost sounding relieved.

I laughed myself, wondering if she really thought I was that stupid. "I'm not stupid. The way he looks at you, there is no way your simply friends."

Hazel's eyes sparked with anger, and honestly against the already bright blue that they were. I couldn't help but feel myself become turned on at how they slightly darkened. Ash was growling low, more like purring in my mind. "He is a friend. He doesn't look at me any certain way. And I don't know what your talking about when you accuse me of teasing. What does that even mean?"

I felt all the blood rush to my face, as my anger heightened. I was sure she could see my anger, but she didn't seem afraid of me. "I won't be taken for a fool. I don't know why you and pretty boy came to this pack but I have a few guesses. You would rather have have someone who isn't your mate, I know she-wolves like you. Sluts, whores there are many names for women like you." I said harshly, and seen the unconcealed pain in her beautiful eyes. But I refused to feel bad for saying it.

Stop Malachy! You- we need to calm down! To think rationally. Ash said, trying to turn me away from the thoughts, and the decision I've made.

She blinked several times, "w-what?"

"I have seen women before use men like this, and I won't be one of them. I won't be a fool who thinks that a mate can't cheat on them. I never expected my mate to be the same as those kind of women." I finished with disgust.

When she didn't even try to defend herself, it strengthened my decision. " I'm just going to get this over with. I, Malachy Saxon the next Alpha of Black Moon-"

I heard her whimper,"please don't." But I tuned her out, I couldn't let the mate bond stop me. I didn't want to be used, my mother was just like her. Like father, like son- I thought with disgust.

"Pack reject you, Hazel as my mate and Luna." I finished, and watched as she tried to fight off the pain. I didn't want to feel sorry, but I did. I felt just a moments regret before I disappeared. I didn't want to be around her. I didn't want her to try and rope me into being with her. Women like her didn't change, and I wasn't going to let her be Luna of the pack if she was nothing but a slut.

Danny ran up to me, and gave me a questioning stare. I shrugged, trying to act normal but in honesty after the rejection Ash had been quiet. And I just didn't- feel right. "I rejected her. I wasn't going to mate myself to a slut."

Danny sighed. "Malachy not everyone is like her you know. Did you ask her about that sage guy?"

I nodded, "of course I did. But she told me he was just a friend. Then again, I remember the times I would walk in on my mother with another male and she'd assure me he was just a friend too." I shook my head in disgust at the memory. I was just thankful that my father had kicked her out of the pack, and that Claire had come into his life. She should have been his mate to begin with, and I wished that she was my biological mother but in every other way she was my mother. And I loved her like she was.

Danny shook his head, "I think you should have given it more time before you did something like that." I could see the disapproval in Danny's eyes and felt my anger spike. He had seen what I went through with that woman, and he wanted me to mate with someone like her? Danny must have seen it because he held his hands up, "I'm just saying Malac. Really, think about it. You just met her today, your emotional and not thinking clearly. Your basing everything off of your- that woman." He corrected, wisely. "I don't know man."

I listened to his words and looked back to the forest, should I have waited? But then, day by day the bond would get stronger. I don't know how my dad had did it when it came to breaking his bond with that woman but I didn't know if I was strong enough. I'd never admit it, but I was scared of being trapped with someone like 'her.' "Too late now." I muttered and walked back into the pack house. I couldn't help but think about everything Danny had said to me. Was I basing everything off of what my supposed mother did? Yes. I knew I was but it was so hard not too. I growled in irritation.
