Rejected Mate
Chapter Twelve: Dont back talk me, Mister!

Erikas pov

I hear a loud banging on the door, which wakes me up immediately. Iunwrap myself from palms arms and open the door to see a fumingalpha.

"you slept with him" he spits out with venom making me roll my eyes."yes, we slept, in the same bed but it isn't any of your business anyway.You are not my mate and never will be, we share a room, and that is it.You are the one who decided I couldn't bloody leave until my stupidwolf came back, which I will tell you now she won't. You need a luna ofthis pack, and I am so sorry that for once I was happy." I scream makingpalm sit up in the bed looking confused at all the commotion going on."wait for one second; you guys ain't mates? And what do you meanyour wolf is gone and won't come back” palm questions with worrylaced with every word.

"not my fault you drove your mate to reject you, yes I need a luna, and Ican't do that with you here, so you're wolf needs to come back" hescreams, by now I know the whole pack is listening in on this fight; theyalready hate it enough that I share a room with there alpha and to hearone of our fights won't make that any better.

"you were rejected? Who was your mate?" palm questions again.

"not now palm” I hiss before turning back to Hazyn. I feel bad forsnapping at Palm, but right now my biggest worry is the stupid alpha infront of me.

"I couldn't help him rejecting me you asshole; you don't even know thestory on what happened. I saved Bens sister not signed up for a babysitter and be stuck in a pack yet again. I never asked to be A true wereor to survive. If you had just let me die or let me go, you could have thelife you always wanted. My wolf won't come back. Think about it stupidboy Ashley got her wolf back with her mate around, a few doses ofwolves vain and your wolf can fight out of it, Ashley and I were injectedevery night. I missed one dose the whole time I was there. Ashley cameback and had a mate who was by her side the whole time, so her wolfcame back. That is also why she still isn't injured, she didn't get cut withsilver nor did she get beaten and electrocuted every day, I wear somuch makeup to cover the scars and burns that will never heal nor willmy wolf. So don't backtalk me, mister, when you don't know anything” Iscream before slamming the door on his face. I know the pack heardfrom the gasps at my words, but I don't care anymore.

I slide my back down the door and just cry.

"Erika bear, who was your mate?" Palm questions making me gulp."Matthew" I sigh I hear him growl before he shoves me out of the wayand slams his way out of the room.

"Palm wait if you kill him ill be in pain like I was before I brought himout of his coma" I speak with tears rushing down my face, I rush afterhim to try and stop him from making a huge mistake.

"no Erika, I could never hurt you, but after everything they did, he did,you are just going to sit here and not be angry. You are a firey girl whohas been through so much how are you not mad" he questions I don'tknow where everyone is, but at this point, I don't care.

"because I may act tough, but on the inside, I am broken. After the day,you left, everything went terrible. I was fourteen when you left in thethree years until he rejected me I was raped, abused, hurt, whippedeverything under the sun. Summer, my wolf, even told his wolf beforehe even found out we were mates to stop the abuse, but his wolfordered him to rape me breaking my wolf and me. If you walk out thatdoor Palm, don't come back” I state making him freeze.

"my mate is in trouble Erika, I have to leave, and I wasn't going to comeback because my mate and I are moving to be with a pack in Rome, Iwanted to see you yesterday to make sure you were okay and saygoodbye, I know you are not okay, but I still have to say goodbye" hestates before leaving the house. I fall to the ground and just cry noteven caring if I get stepped on by anymore, this isnt how I wanted mylife to go and maybe after everything I should just end it and get out ofeveryone's way.

Hazyn POV (i promise to stop changing pov so often)

"you are a dick" I hear Ben yell slamming his way into my office.

"she cried her self to sleep in the fucking hallway because Palm left, sheadmitted all of that in front of the pack and even what her stupid mateand his friends did to her" he slams his fist onto my table.

"no she didn't, none of that came out of her mouth" I state making himroll his eyes.

"it did, but you locked yourself in your office, she was raped, abused,hurt, whipped everything under the sun even her mates’ wolf wantedhim to do it. You want a mate and a luna sure but what you said wasuncalled for" Ben cries out in anger.

"your mate will be ashamed of you if she replaces out" he adds, makingme close my eyes

"shes dead, she died after we met. I need a luna, but it will neverhappen because my mate is dead" I scream.

"The door is open stupid” Ben comments making me realize straightaway that I just admitted my mate died to the whole pack now they willknow I am not worthy of being alpha and my rights will be taken away."I am going back to Ashley" Ben states before leaving my office. I followafter him to see Erika asleep on the floor. She looks so innocent whenshe is asleep. I pick her up carefully and lay her in her bed.

"I am so sorry Erika; I should have realized she was gone because ofyour stupid mate, I lashed out" I speak softly before kissing herforehead. She is my soft spot, and that scares me.
