My Mate Rejected Me

Chapter 2

Tiffany

"Tif, do you want to throw a birthday party? Oh, I'll invite all your friends!" Said Mom in the kitchen, excited.

I thought for a moment before answering her.

"Mom, I don't want a birthday party. You don't even know my friends because I have no friends.. I want to be alone today. Okay?"

It was true. I had no friends whatsoever. It hurt to know that mostly everyone else had friends that they could talk to everyday. Did they even know how it hurt to be alone? To have no one by your side?

She gasped, walking towards me and giving me a hug. I hugged her back softly and whimpered, trying to fight back the tears that were aching to escape these eyes of mine.

"Don't say things like that, dear. I'm here. I'm your friend, honey. Okay?" She comforted me.

I nodded my head and managed to crack a small smile on my face.

"Mom.. I-I'm gonna be late for school," I sniffed and wiped away the few tears that managed to escape. She let go of me and nodded her head.

"I love you, Tiffany Anne Gate," she whispered out my full name.

I smiled and kissed her on the cheek. Meanwhile, my brother walked past us and opened the front door, motioning for me to go. I was confused. My brother was a complete jerk so why was he telling me to go first? I walked over to him and looked at him, confused.

"You're dumb. It's your birthday I got to do something nice," he said, rolling his eyes. I gave a small smile and walked out of the house, getting ready to jog to school.

"Come," said Chase.

I quickly turned around and saw Chase standing next to the opened passenger door of his car.

"What? I'm gonna be late," I silently said.

"Get in my car, fatty," he walked over to me and dragged me into his car. If Chase wasn't my brother, I would call this kidnapping.

Once I got comfortable in his car, I leaned my head onto my hand and stared out the window while Chase started the engine.

"Thank you, Chase," I said truthfully.

"You know.. You're actually beautiful, Tiffany. I don't know why so many people hate you in school. Sometimes, I want to help you but I'm afraid," Chase blurted.

My heart sank deep into my chest just hearing him say that. Was he joking or was he actually telling the truth? I couldn't tell.

"I'm telling the truth," he said, even though I could hear a different tone in his voice.

After a few moments of silence, I said, "I get it. I.. I can endure the pain. You don't have to h-help me." I started tearing up. I tried to stop the tears from coming but they wouldn't stop. "No, I don't get it! You're suppose to be the big brother that helps the little sister! You're suppose to be the one that helps me! I have no one and you're the only one, Chase. So why? Why me?" I cried and cried without even caring how horrible I was right now. I quickly washed my tears away and cleaned my nose with a tissue.

"I'm sorry, Tiffany," he stopped the car in front of the school parking lot and turned off the engine,"Happy birthday."

Chase handed me a little box that was wrapped in silver wrapping paper. I took it from him and opened it, revealing a beautiful gold necklace with a shiny white moon in the middle and little stars hanging on the necklace.

"Chase, thank you so much!" I squealed. I turned to him and saw a beautiful smile planted on his handsome face.

"I'm glad you like it. Now, lets go to school! You owe me. I got you to school early and bought you that necklace," he joked. I chuckled and punched his arm lightly then placed the necklace back into the little box carefully.

As I walked into the school entrance with my brother by my side, a hard object was thrown onto my head for what seemed like the 100th time. I looked up and saw Nick's friends laughing, except Nick wasn't there.

"Hey, faggots, leave her alone," my brother demanded.

"She's the faggot!" They threw another object on me and ran away.

"You okay, Tiffany?" said Chase. He looked at me, concerned.

"Yeah.. Dad told me to be strong. You can go now," I smiled weakly and hugged him. When I let go of him, he patted my head and ran up the stairs.

Alone again, I walked up the stairs when I suddenly smelt fresh green grass, mint, and vanilla.

'Go find our mate, Tiffany!' said my wolf.

Mate!? My mate was here?

She was jumping with excitement and howled. I followed the delicious scent and looked across the hallway. Nick? He looked at me too and rolled his eyes. Nick was my mate!

'Mate!' said my wolf.

I walked towards him and stopped when he started coming towards me. When he got close, he grabbed my arm and dragged me to a corner where there was no one around. He pushed me into the wall and put his hands next to my head, trapping me. I felt tingles spread throughout my whole body. My knees felt weak just looking into his green eyes. I moved closer to him, wanting to kiss him everywhere but he moved his head back and looked at me, disgusted. My heart dropped and I leaned back into the wall.

Nick bent down and whispered into my ear, "I, Nick Jay Royal, reject Tiffany Anne Gate, as my mate."

My heart felt like it had been stabbed. I could feel tears coming but I held my head up high and showed him that I was a strong girl. I leaned into him then whispered into his ear and said, "I, I Tiffany Anne Gate, will make Nick Jay Royal, regret his damn decision." I backed away and saw a smirk planted on his cute face which only made me angrier.

"And what if I don't regret this?" He asked as if he was interested.

I managed to do a small smirk despite being completely broken inside, and looked into his bright green eyes, "Trust me, you asshole, you will regret this."

I wasn't sure if he would actually regret this. What made me think he would regret rejecting me?

He laughed and moved in closer to me. His face was just a few inches away from mine. I felt like I was on fire just being this close to him. I could smell the green grass, mint, and vanilla surrounding me. He came in closer then shook his head and backed away.

"Listen, Tiffany, I won't," he whispered and walked away. I wanted him back, I wanted him badly, but he didn't want me. My heart felt like it was being brutally punched in the same place.

'Mate...' my wolf quietly whimpered.

'Our mate doesn't want us.. It's okay, we'll get through this,' I lied to her, and mainly, to myself. I was rejected without a single hesitation of words. Rejected without a care. Rejected..
