One mate and a Rejection

Chapter 16

PART 1 Chapter 16 — 03

I stood up,finally aware of everything that I've done.

l attacked Jared without explanation towards why I was doing it.

I looked down at him,bruised and crumbed beneath me in a bloody mess.

I looked for Emerald.

I urged for her to calm me down again,and take me out of this reality.

But instead she lay by Jared's side yelling at students nearby to call for help.

She caressed his cheek,tears running down her face like broken crystals.

Even Jasmine,Jared's mate didn't look as crushed as Emerald and at that moment I realized just how

much she loves him.

There were already so many reasons why I can't be with her,and it hurt me like never before.

But this,knowing that I was and always will never be enough,even for my own mate,it crushed me.

I glanced down at the mess that I've caused beneath me one more time,before fleeing the

scene,hoping that the pieces of my broken heart didn't scatter around me.

Emerald's pov I choked on my sobs every now and then,glancing towards the left side of the hospital

for a doctor.

What the hell was taking so long! Jared's a werewolf,son of an alpha.

He should have already healed.

Blade is stronger,I realized, because he's Alpha and having someone in a position like his beat you,it

would have killed any normal human or werewolf.

I sat,slipping on the plastic hospital chairs,watching the stuff in front of me that they dared called food.

I thought of everything that's happened and wondered why Blade had attacked Jared.

This would cause more drama and loathing between our two packs,maybe even a war.

I sigh,my head falling to my hands.

I honestly didn't know what I was doing when I went to calm Blade down.

It was suddenly the only thing to do in my mind.

In the room of chaos! felt directly involved and as if I was the only one able to control Blade.

It was almost a natural reaction as I became influenced by his actions.

It was like my voice had been controlled by someone else.

Perhaps my wolf.

And as much as I wanted to hate Blade for what he did to Jared,I couldn't.

I convinced myself it was because he saved my life.

A middle aged doctor came into my view,and I raced to him,beating everyone,including Jasmine and

Jared's parents.

“How is he?"

I tried to speak clearly and sanely.

The doctor took a step back,uncomfortable with how I've ambushed him.

He fingered his binder,’ Don't worry,Jared will be fine,his wolf is upset but he's beginning to heal.

All he needs is someone who can help stir his inner wolf—"

“I'll go,"

I snapped before anyone else could.

Jasmine stepped forward,glaring daggers at me,’ I'm his mate,! should go."

The doctor,noticing the tense atmosphere muttered, Everybody come,we will see who will stir Jared's

wolf."

We reached Jared's room,my heart swelling at the sight of him bruised and broken.

The doctor touched Jared's mother's shoulder,’ Go touch his arm.’ "Why; I asked.

He sighs,’ whoever stirs Jared's wolf the most stays with him."

She did as she had been told while the doctor watched the monitor.

Everybody took a turn and when it was my tum, was sure I'd stir his wolf the most.

I clutched to his arm,practically gasping with anxiety.

Please be okay, prayed.

"Next; said the doctor.

"Did I stir his wolf"

I asked.

“You'll know at the end"

Jasmine stepped forward and placed her lips gently upon Jared's.

The monitor began to beep wildly.

The doctor stood up and ushered everyone out of the room.

Everyone but Jasmine.

I watched as he shut the door in my face,peeking through the little window,as Jasmine touched Jared's

arm and almost immediately his face brightened.

Just then,my heart broke all over again.

I headed home an hour later,after they told me I wouldn't be able to see Jared until the morning.

I sat on my couch,in front of the blank TV,wondering where the hell my parents went.

About half and half an hour of staring into nothingness,I heard the door knock.

"Come in!"

I called out,hoping it was my mom.

But much to my distaste, Amanda walked in,holding a box labeled Jason's stuff.

"Hey kiddo,"

she put the box down and went to pinch my cheek but I moved my head away,"

Don't touch me."

She let out a fake laugh,"

You're so cute."

“You're like a year older than me,don't treat me like I'm a kid."

“Aw," Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

she looked down at me,"

Sorry kido."

“Why are you here?”
