One mate and a Rejection

Chapter 37

PART 1 Chapter 37 — 03

We both nodded and headed for the door.

I tried to walk faster than him,as an attempt to avoid him but that was almost impossible with how fast

he walked.

“Emerald,” he spoke up.

But I ignored him and walked even faster.

"Emerald,come on,let me talk.” I replied with silence.

“You're going the wrong way,the elevators are to the right hallway.” I blushed angrily and headed the

other way.

“If you're trying to out walk me it won't work,you're like 5 feet tall” "Five feet,six inches actually,” I

snapped and kept walking.

“Finallya response.” We tumed a corner and headed for the elevator,” I'm sorry about last night.” “What

part of last night?"

I asked.

“When I told you I didn't like you,! didn't mean it like that.” "Really? Because you've been sending me

mixed messages for weeks! Why did you kiss me then?"

He shrugged,” Got caught up in the moment?” We walked into the empty elevator and pressed the

number one button.

“That's what they all say.” “It's the truth” I turned to face him; How could you kiss me and then go sleep

with some— some slut!"

"That's none of your business! I just wanted to apologize for kissing you but you seemed to love it!” “Of

course I loved it! What kind of person in their right mind wouldn't have loved it!” He chuckled

sarcastically,’ I'm so flattered.” “Why did you kiss me? Give me a real answer.” "I already told you! I got

caught up in the moment!” I finally realized what he was doing.

He was trying to come up with as many excuses as possible just so he won't have to admit we're

mates.

lalmost forgot that he didn't know that I knew.

The elevator opened and I stepped out,” I'm not stupid Blade,I know the truth.” He ran behind me,a

panicked lock crossing his features,’ What do you mean?"

“What do you think I mean?"

I headed into room 23.

“I don't know,that's why I'm asking you.” I opened my bag and threw his shirt at him.

He caught it with both hands and looked at me shocked,” Where did you find this?"

"By the cliff.you know,where we usually meet at night?” “I don't know what you mean,” he said.

"Don't pull that crap with me!” I picked up two boxes of test tubes.

He sighed.” How did you find out?” "I followed you and saw you shift.” "Then you understand

everything,even why I kissed you?” I nodded,” Yes,I do,but I don't understand how you're able to sleep

with other people.” I stormed out of the room and towards the elevators again.

“l’ll only slept with Tracy to get you out of my mind!” “Hope it worked,” I muttered.

He gripped my arm,sending the boxes falling to the ground.

We were chest to chest now so I felt his minty breath on my face when he said’ Well it didn't.” l almost

lost my voice again but I knew I couldn't let him make me so weak.

I took a deep breath and muttered,” The first or second time?” "Both times!” he snapped, and I didn't

even sleep with Tracy the first time! I tried,but you kept popping up in my mind like a freaking addiction!

Last night, was disgusted with myself but I tried to forget you! I had to forget you! But I couldn't! I knew

you were an enemy so it was wrong! I couldn't be a traitor to my pack like my father was to yours!” I

picked up the boxes from the ground hoping the test tubes weren't broken and began to walk again.

"So you're just gonna ignore me now?"

“I'm gonna do what you wanted me to do,I'm gonna get out of your life.” “You don't get it,even if you

tried it won't work.” I didn't answer.

“You know,even if you weren't an enemy,we still couldn't be together.

My mom died when I was eight.

I don't even know what she looks like.

My dad forced me to become alpha a couple of years later and left.

When I turned eighteen and shifted alone,almost dying in process,I knew I couldn't rely on people

anymore.

Especially my mate who didn't even bother to show up.” I stopped walking and shut my eyes,” I didn't ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

know.” “of course you didn'tyou never bothered to consider for a second that maybe Jared isn't your

mate and somewhere out there is your real mate,on the verge of dying because of you.” "What are you

saying? That I wasted all my time on someone who ended up not even being my mate? I already know

that!"

“You think you have it so bad,” he laughed sarcastically,’ I heard the doctor talking to you,he said that

soon we will both not be able to shift,and that we will both be on the verge of dying.

Well'd rather be that than be stupid enough to rely on you.” With that,he grabbed one of the boxes of

test tubes and headed to science,using the stairs while I used the elevators.
