Rejected, My Jaded Love
Episode 65

We leave our house a little after 6, I didn’t want to be around Asher anymore as he kept trying to talk to me and I didn’t want to hear it. I just wanted to leave and just be away from him, so under the guise of not wanting to be late getting there and take the chance of us being caught by them, we go and get in Mason’s truck. I sit in the front between Mason and Tyler. Braxton, Travis, and Tate were in the backseat. There was total silence in the truck until we got parked across the street and two businesses up from the convenience store that they were supposed to be meeting at. Mason backs us into the parking space, so we can just pull smoothly out when we need to leave. We have the truck sunshade sitting in my lap, that I am going to unfold and put up when they pass us, so they won’t see us sitting here. We were on the end closer to our rental house so they will have to drive past us, for her to show them where we were staying. I see Asher pull across the street from us, and stare at me across the street. I can tell he is upset, but I just don’t care. Maybe he can take that stupid slut back after she betrays me to Eric and Kyle. She may not have known exactly what they were planning on doing to me, but I also know that she doesn’t care, all she cares about was getting Asher back and becoming Luna of the Stone Moon pack.

“I told dad about what Eric was planning and we will take care of that pack after we get a plan together. Dad has already contacted the council, and we have enough proof to go to war with them at this time. You won’t have to worry about Eric or Kyle too much longer Jade. Maybe Calvin can help us come up with a good plan on how and where to attack, so we can get this over with quickly. I believe what Calvin said and trust him” Tyler speaks first.

“Bree is packing my stuff right now for me. I am planning on leaving in the morning to go to Dark Moon” I tell them all.

“I figured as much as you loaded up my truck with everyone except Asher. Not that I mind or have a problem with it. It seemed like he was refusing to believe that Ashley could do that to you when everyone else in the room knew that she had. I was thinking that you were done when you said it. After you refused to speak to him, I knew I was right. I can’t argue his point as he is wrong, I don’t know what he is thinking at all”. Mason tells me.

“Dixon do you and Braxton want to ride your bikes back to Stone Moon, or do you want me to take them to Dark moon with me, for you to pick up when you come to visit?” I asked them.

“I will ride mine back, it will keep me from having to ride back to Stone Moon with Asher”. Dixon says to me.

“Me too, I don’t want to ride with him on the way back home either. When he figures out that you are gone Jade, he is going to lose his s**t” Braxton tells me.

“I can’t really believe that Braxton, we all heard the same thing come from his own lips that he couldn’t believe that Ashley would have done what Calvin said she did. But he had a really detailed story for it not to be true. As a matter of fact, I will have Nicole message him to meet us at 5 am to follow us back to Dark Moon. I believed what he said. This is just like when he took her side about what happened at school with Brittany, and he believed I was the one in the wrong well before he even knew me. I mean, he Alpha Commanded her to stop coming after him and me, and she did this the NEXT day. Obviously, she isn’t scared to piss him off, or completely disobey the command, and I know why now, because he is wrapped around her finger, and will always take her side over mine. I need to distance myself from him as he had already wormed himself into my heart and then proceeded to step on it to make sure he didn’t miss a spot.” I realize I am now crying and the whole back seat is low growling. Tyler pulls me over to him and gives me a side hug as Asher watches from across the street and narrows his eyes. I know he wants to get out and come over to us, but it is coming close to the time frame between 630 to 645 pm when they are supposed to meet so we all look over to the convenience store to watch for Eric’s SUV or Ashley’s car.

About 5 minutes later at 631 pm, we see Ashley pull up, park, and head into the store. She comes back out about 5 minutes later with a drink in her hand and goes to sit on the bench in front of the store. At 642 pm, we see Eric’s SUV pull up at a pump and start filling up his gas tank, while Kyle runs in to use the restroom and get some drinks. I guess they were planning on staying out there for a while, watching my house and I thank the Goddess for sending Calvin to let me know. I shudder in my seat just thinking of what they were planning on doing to me and can’t prevent the low whimper that came from my throat. I feel my brother Tate and then Dixon both reach up to me from the back seat and each grabs my shoulder from the side that they were sitting on like they were trying to give me strength through the shoulder squeeze.

“We have you, Jade, they will NEVER get their hands on you. We will be going to war with their pack very soon and finishing this, so you won’t have to worry about them ever again”. Tyler tells me and reaches over to grab my hand and give it a squeeze.

I look across the street at Asher and see that he is watching the store and is watching Ashley as she gets up from the bench and walks over and gets into the back seat of Eric’s SUV. I keep staring at him and wait until he looks across the street to me, and I have no response for him, I just keep looking at his handsome face. I almost wish I could tell him I am leaving in the morning, and that we are done, but I know if I did do that, he would try to stop me. I just don’t want to be around him right now. I feel like he would take her side over mine, in everything, and that thought makes me so sad. I need some separation so I can make better choices, because when I see him, my heart and my wolf just want him, no matter how much he hurts us. I have to take a stand, it is going to be tough, but I have done it before. I am tough and I will get past this too.

I lean my head back onto the seatback behind me and look at the roof of the truck and wonder again, why Goddess? Why? Why couldn’t I have been paired with Mason, or Travis, they were both attractive guys, who already loved me and would have protected me. I know that they both probably have mates out there somewhere, but I just can’t figure out what I have done in my life, to have resulted in me going through what I have been through. I feel unlovable.

I look back over at Eric’s SUV. Kyle was now in the passenger seat turned around talking to Ashley, and Eric had gone into the store a few minutes ago. I guess they all went to the bathroom to be able to hang out for the next couple of hours. Eric comes out and gets in the SUV and starts it up. Looking up into his rearview mirror, I guess he is talking to Ashley to know which way they need to drive. I go ahead and unfold the sunshield to spread across the front of the truck. The guys watch Eric pull past us on the road and head off towards our rental house. They never even looked in our direction. I lower the screen and fold it back up and send Nicole a message to send Calvin a text to be at our house at 5 in the morning and to be ready to hit the road at that time, as we will not be stopping. I also told her that he could leave and come to our house tonight if he wanted to, when Eric and Kyle came back to their hotel room tonight, and just leave his stuff behind in their hotel room so they wouldn’t know that he is leaving. That it was his choice. I also told her to make sure that he deleted all the messages from his phone after he reads her message. I figured that Eric and Kyle would be leaving after they confirmed that I was staying in that house, and that would give him 20 minutes to pack and get out before they came back to their hotel.
