Rejected Mate or Jake?

"Taylor, wake up" Jake cooed.

*poke* "Its the big day Taylor." *poke* I opened my right eye to see a smirking Jake hovering over me. Before you ask, no Jake an me are not together. He's simply my best friend. However I cant lie he is very attractive. He has dark brown hair that falls around his face , his eyes are blue and green specked, his skin is slightly tan from all of our traveling, and oh his body is fine and slightly tatted.

"Not that I'm not flattered by your drooling over me, but its time to go" he stuck his tongue out then started laughing. Which I gladly took to my advantage an flipped him over to now I'm hovering over him. "Now who's the one drooling" I smirked then licked his cheek.

Yes I understand people think its weird but hey I'm a unique kinda girl. I'm 17 years young and my blood line runs all the way back to the original and strongest packs. The " Lunar Knights "an the "Blood Moon Warriors" My great great great grandparents I guess you could call them rebels. They had hidden their love because they were born into rival packs. So my blood line is one of the most rare and strongest blood line of the werewolves to exist. The Moon Goddess was obviously in my families favor.

"Ok ok I surrender how could anyone not melt at your love." Jake teased with a wink. I giggled and helped him up. "Our flight is about to leave. Lets go!!" he threw me over his shoulder an ran into the plane. Now yes I am very aware I fell asleep at the airport and PDA blah blah. But I don't care, aha I love it.

We sat in out seats as the attendants took our bags. Jake grabbed my hand now being serious "Are you nervous?" he asked with soft eyes.

Now let me tell you where my story began.

***FLASHBACK***

It was my 16th birthday and it was going to be the first day I shifted. I was super stoked. Not many kids from packs at my school knew about my blood line. I mean I'm sure some knew what I was from my scent. Humans and werewolves don't have the same scents obviously, I mean we don't even have the same DNA.

Also to be honest my appearance was not the best. I was more of the nerd nobody liked and bullied. I had been in this town for 2 weeks with my family. Only because my brother almost exposed us. So we had to live in the smallest town ever surrounded by a whole bunch of woods. My older brother Josh on the other hand hit it off with the 'populars' fast. Me and Josh were really close outside of school but agreed to not tell people were related at school. It just made things easier.

I had braces, a ugly brown hair color(in my opinion), and acne that spread in blotches. Also my chubbieness didn't help either. My insecurities screamed but nothing could ruin my day.

At least that's what I thought.

I ran down stairs an was greeted by happy birthdays and kisses from my parents. I hoped in Joshes car he was only a year older. Of course he teased me over my excitement but I didn't care. I was going to shift today!!!

I was on my way over to my lockers when I got a whiff of a mouth watering scent. I started to panic It was way to early for this! I mean don't get me wrong I was excited but I was young!!! I knew what was happening that honey brown sugar scent . . . it was coming from my MATE.

I looked around over all the loud teenagers. When the bell wrung. The hallways cleared out and I decided to take my time putting my thing away.

Till I was interrupted by a growl. I could smell the scent growing stronger. But brushed it off. Then I was grabbed out of nowhwere from behind and turned. I could feel sparks flying through my arms till I was pushed away.

"You've got to be joking! You?!" I looked up to see Blake aka school bad boy aka Alpha of 'Midnight battle crys' yelling at me. "Lets Just get this over with. You are obviously not worthy, I mean just look at yourself. . . I Blake Edwards, Reject you as my mate." he spit out.

At that moment I felt my heart shatter into a million pieces. I couldn't breath I felt like my lungs had just caved in. . . I felt BROKEN. . .So close to letting out a whimper.

Then I quickly covered it with anger rushing over me. I didn't care how much I've been bullied or the way I look. Your mate is supposed to love you!! The next thing I did shocked both of us.

"Good!! Your the one who is not worthy. I wouldn't ever think of you as my MATE!! I deserve a real Alfa not a mutt!!!" I growled back "I Taylor , accept your rejection." then I walked away leaving him with his jaw dropped. Once I was out of sight I ran into the woods feeling anger rush through me.

My bones started to brake one by one till I was laying on the ground in wolf form. My coat was burgundy and short. It was beautiful. Oh an my size due to my blood line I was HUGE and not in a bad way. Letting out the whimper I held in. I ran to my home packing up and getting ready to leave. I had Left a not saying I would come back when I'm ready to talk about what happened. Then took off.

***END OF FLASH BACK***

I Soon met Jake when running. He was a lone wolf. I told him my story an he immediately invited me to stay with him. He helped me recover. He comforted me when I was broken. Even with the way I looked. He truly cared about me.

My acne cleared up soon after my first shift. Also all my curves filled in, in all the right places. Jake also was my new personal trainer. Boy did he whip me into shape.

Me and him decided it was best to get away so we traveled. All over the over. I dyed my hair a Dark Red Burgundy. An boy I guess you could say puberty beat the leaving shit out of me. I got hot!! Oh and tan. And hey I sure waited long enough.

Of course me Jake grew closer than close. Maybe a little to close. . .

You see werewolves tend to ummm. . .well . . . go through heat. And we couldn't help it my hormones screamed at him. An I was full of lust for him. I mean Have You Seen Him?? So he helped me with my uhmm needs and I helped him with his.

Like wild animals. Aha but we never let that effect out our friendship. So I guess you could say it turned out good. I mean really good. And so what, at least I lost my v-card to someone that actually cared.

"Nope, I'm just peachy love" I finally answered him. Its been a couple weeks over a year and I was ready to go home. Even better my best friend is coming with me.
