One mate and a Rejection

Chapter 18

PART 1 Chapter 18 — 01

The first thing I did this morning was quickly get out of bedwash my face,and put on some proper

clothes.

I was at the hospital by about seven am,hoping this would be a quick visit.

Jasmine saw me in the waiting room,’ You coming to see Jared?"

“Yeah,"

I answered,stepping around her.

She grabbed my arm,’ It's one person at a time."

She stepped around me and headed to his room.

Frustrated,I sat on the slippery hospital chairs,feeling every single second that passed by as if it were

minutes.

Finally,after about half an hour,a doctor approached me.

“Are you here to visit..."

he paused to glance at his clipboard,"

Jared?"

"Yes, I stood up,’ is everything okay?"

"Everything's fine,but it's past 7.

You can go see him."

"Yes,but Jasmine is with him. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

It's one person at a time,so I'm waiting for her to come back—"

"It's not one person at a time.

His whole family is there with him.

He's better now."

“So I'm allowed to go in?"

“Of course."

Jasmine had lied to me.

I definitely hated her, that's okay.

I think I'll be leaving.

But are you sure he's fine?"

“Better than ever,"

the doctor smiled.

I nodded,well aware that I was running late for school,"

thank you."

I walked away,but not before peeking into Jared's room.

He was lying on his hospital bed,clutching Jasmine’s hand while he talked to his family.

His skin had returned to its normal color and it sucked badly knowing it was because of his mate.

I felt relaxed to know that he's all better and walked away towards the exit.

In my car! noticed the visible bruises and scratches on my face from the side view mirror.

I sighed,silently cursing Amanda and her witch— like nails.

The rest of the school day went by agonizingly slow and I couldn't help but notice that Blade wasn't

there.

I wondered just how much trouble he must be in with our pack.

Jared's fatherour alpha will probably meet with him,maybe even kick him out of the territory.

I was shocked at the displeasure that shot through my chest.

I couldn't possibly care about Blade.

We were enemies,I should feel disgusted with him.

Especially after what he did to Jared.

Lisa and Jack had questioned my bruised face and I hesitated before Vlied.

l assured them it was merely an accident.

I had been driving and banged my head against the window.

It wasn't a complete lie because the scratch from when that really did happen was still there.

I was looking forward to being home and just laying on my comfy bed.

After school,but when I peeked through the window and saw Jason and Amanda,I headed the other

way.

lreached the forest in a couple of seconds,stripping as I walked.

I leaped into the air,savoring the great feeling of my flesh furring and my senses improving.

Iran within the trees letting my legs be my guide.

I sped past trees,and tiny forest animals.

I caught sight of everything visible with my new eyes.

I was introduced to many different odors.

Some as pleasing as the scent of the pretty roses that grew between the shrubs and some as

disgusting as the manure that the animals laid.

I ended up at the cliff.sniffing loudly and calling for my mate,but after a while I realized he wasn't there.

Dropping to the ground,I tried to dispose of my disappointment but it was impossible.

I can't expect him to be there for me whenever I need it,that's unrealistic.

Then I thought of John and Lisa,who were always there for each other.

I began to run again,my rapid paws scraping upon the edge of the surface.

After about fifteen meters,I lost the cliff and found myself deep within the wet trees again.

I ran and ran until I saw a house that I remembered from a while ago.

I had been broken with no one to turn to,and collapsed onto the ground.

Deep within my vision, had seen a big,blurry wooden house.

Iran towards it at full speed,somehow avoiding making contact with every single tree.

When I reached the house, wondered what brought me here.

Why did I feel pulled in here? All of the sudden a lucky figure stepped out from the balcony.

I waited until they stepped out of the shadow and into the rain of sun.

Blade.

l almost laughed to myself.

Who else could it be!? I should have remembered this house from the party he threw.

But I had entered from the front,with no idea of how the back looked like.

He glanced down at me,immediately catching sight of where I stood and just stared.

His golden eyes shun even from a distance and I feared he assumed I was a rouge or an intruder.

But somehow I couldn't look away.

I stared back,wondering where I've seen those eyes before.

Blade broke eye contact first when he looked to his side quickly.

Another figure stepped out.

Slim and curvy with long blond hair.

She was wearing nothing but a bathrobe.

"Oh my goodness!"

she screamed,her bright blue eyes wide and staring down at me; is that a wolf?”
