No! No! No! No!
This cannot be happening. I can't find my mate now. I'm leaving today. I won't see him for a year. And
what if he rejects me? I can't be here for that, I just can't.
After my wolf had said the actual word, I mentally started panicking. I kept thinking of so many different
scenarios and none of them ended well. My hands began to sweat and I started hyperventilating.
My wolf on the other hand was howling for joy, calling out to her mate over and over again. I knew that
she wanted me to go follow the scent, and by the way it kept growing stronger, I knew that he'd be here
any minute now. I didn't stick around to find out who I was destined to be with, I shoved my chair back
and ran out the back door of the class.
I wasn't ready for this. I didn't want a mate.
My wolf kept howling out to her mate, growling at me for running away, but I didn't care. I wouldn't and
couldn't face him. All I could think about is how disapointed he might be after he finds out I'm his mate.
I know that I'm probably overreacting but it can't be helped. I've just gotten use to the fact that I'm a
disappointment to others.
As these thoughts crossed my mind, I ran to my safe haven. The only place where I could sit and think,
calming my heart and thoughts down.
The library.
My main reason for heading there was cause of the second person in this school that brought me joy.
Chloe. Chloe was the only other person in this school that actually treated me like an actual human
being. If a person really thought about it, we were kind of the same. Though she was so much more
beautiful. I knew that she didn't have class at the moment, so she would be in there. Unlike me, Chloe
was very shy around people, except for Dylan and me.
Upon entering the library I immediately spotted her. She sat in the far back corner, sitting on the
ground, reading her favourite book, 'To Kill a Mockingbird'. I've never personally read it, but she does
recommended it.
Chloe is very beautiful, with her long blonde hair and amazing body. Something that was very different
between us. She still wore her glasses, but wouldn't need it when she turns sixteen soon. It saddens
me when I think that I won't be here for my two best friends' birthdays.
Making my way over to her, I sat down. She closed her book and looked over at me in confusion.
"What happened? You never show up this early." She says seriously but still with a soft smile. I sigh
and lean my head against the book shelf, causing her smile to fall and a look of concern to wash over
her face.
"I found my mate." I whisper while playing with my fingers. I know how Chloe felt about mates. She's
always wanted one, so I'm sure that she'll be angry at me for being so ridiculous.
"Thats amazing Sky! Who is he?" She yells, but immediately goes quiet when the librarian shush's her.
"I don't know. I didn't stick around to find out." I say nervously and flinch when I see her smile fall.
Instead of a frown, like I thought she'd pull, she gives me a look of sympathy.
"Why wouldn't you want to know who he is? Is it cause you're moving?" She asks, placing her hand on
my shoulder and giving it a gentle squeeze.
"Yes and no. No cause, what if he rejects me Chloe? No one in this school would want to be my mate,
what says that he'll be any different?" I ramble on, before groaning and putting my face in my hands.
Just then I heard my phone beep, indicating a new message. I sighed and pulled my phone out,
scrolling to the message. I looked at the name and saw that it was Cole.
'Hey Sky, Mom and Dad said that we're leaving early. So we're outside. Hurry up. Time to go.'
Looking at that message, relief immediately flooded me. Now I wouldn't have to worry about running
into him today. Turning to Chloe, I explained the message. She pulled me into her embrace and wished
me luck. I left the library then made my way to find Dylan. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Finding Dylan was easy. I saw him in his class and he saw me. He asked to excuse himself then came
out. I told him that I'm leaving now, to which he pulled me into his embrace. I smiled as he hugged me
tightly, telling me how much he'll miss me. I pulled away before saying goodbye and walking away from
him. I rushed to my locker, getting all the things I needed.
Then I smelt him.
Just as I was about to close my locker his scent filled my nose. I was going to make a run for it but was
to late when I was pinned against the row of lockers. I hissed at the pain but ignored it when I felt the
sparks run through my body. I didn't want to look up, knowing the identity of my mate. My body defied
me and did, and shock was the only thing I felt when I looked into the eyes of my mate.
Soon-to-be Alpha Kyle Black.
"Are you kidding me?! Why did you have to be my mate?! Of all people, it's you!" Every word he spat
hurt, I couldn't deny it. I knew where this was all going and it came.
"I, Kyle Black, reject you, Skylar Maine, as my mate." He sneered in my face. Then my phone began to
vibrate. I knew that it was my brothers, which made me nervous. No one should make them wait. I
knew if I kept them waiting, that they would come in here and search for me. So I tried pushing him off
and said the first thing that came to mind.
"I don't care! Now let go of me!" I knew that he was taken back by my outburst and for a slipt second I
thought I saw pain pass through his eyes, but it was immediately gone. Instead he glared at me, and
shoved me again.
"How don't you care?! I just rejected you! How aren't you upset?!" He yelled, beginning to crush my
shoulder with the amount of pressure he's putting on it.
"Let go of me! I knew that you'd most likely reject me! Now let me go, I'll see you in a year!" I yelled
before shoving him off of me. I can't explain where all of this confidence was coming from. I've just had
enough of him. All of his tormenting, his words, his actions, and now this. I snapped.
I was completely shocked that I could shove an Alpha off of me, though I probably just caught him off
guard. I started to walk away but yelped when he grabbed my wrist and pulled me back. I glared up at
his confused face.
"What do you mean you'll see me in a year?" He asks, worry clear on his face. Why would he be
worried? It's not like he would care about me?
"Go ask you Dad. Now let go!" Saying that to him, made him release his grip on my wrist slightly. He
was obviously distracted and I made use of that. I pulled away from him and left him there. I pushed the
front doors open and saw my brothers' car.
I was finally free. I could finally leave this hell in my life, leaving behind the person who made it hell. But
I wasn't completely happy.
Climbing into their car, they asked questions on why I was so silent, but I didn't answer. I could only
focus on the pain my wolf and I were going through with this rejection. I knew it was coming, but I never
knew it hurt so much. I couldn't let them see the pain though. I refused.
I tried speaking to her, but all she could do was whimper in pain. I promised her that I'd never let
someone hurt us like this again. Reaching home was quick and before I knew it, we were on our way to
our new home.
