Rejecting Your Rejection
Farewell Mate

"Before you go, was there something I could've said to make yourheartbeat better?" Lewis Capaldi

Everyone was expected to be at dinner tonight.

Dante has finally won over the territory he's been dreaming of. Heshould be overjoyed and party all day yet there was something missingand he knew at the time what he was missing. He was missing her sobadly, his mate.

Seeing her smile with Kiev gave him another perspective. He doesn'thave to be selfish.

He stood by the pack door when he saw her enter from the safe house,with Kyle and a bubbly Cora behind her. The ones in the neutralterritory have come to his pack for registration or resignation

Dante's eyes were focused on Daniella who was wearing simple blackjeans with a plain oversized red shirt. Even if she is wearing thosesimple clothes Dante replaces it hard not to run at her.

They were getting near to him Daniella slowly falls behind Kyle andCora who both went straight into the pack house when they pass him."Hey," he said hi to her and Daniella just nod her head and try to walkout again.

Dante's hands were around her arm "can we talk" he whispers. "For?""Please just hear me out" she stood there thinking then finally agree inthe end.

They move to his office to talk Daniella sat opposite him while he halfsit on the edge of his desk facing her.

"I know I've said this a lot of times but I wanted to say it. I don't carehow many times you hear it from me-"

Dante almost didn't finish his sentence as his own tear betray him. Hegot down on his knees, taking her hands into his.

"I am really sorry Dani for everything”

She didn't speak she just sat there looking back at him, she wasexpecting him to say more but he didn't.

There were a lot of things they need to talk about but Daniella couldn'tbring herself to do it so she pushes away his hands’ tears slipping fromher eyes.

"I don't understand you Dante" she wipes off her tears and he just staysthere on his knees. "That's the only thing I've been hearing from you forthese past months, sorry, sorry, sorry... I am sick and tired of hearingthat from you"

"don't just say I haven't tried Dani" she shook her head indisappointment.

"Have you Dante? I mean is that all you have to say... I didn't need tohear your sorry... What you just have to expect me to do with your sorrywhen you haven't asked for my forgiveness yet" she sobs up.

Dante move to her "have you noticed why I never ask for yourforgiveness.”

She walks passes him "nope, and I don't care anymore. Save it for yourchosen mate and future pup"

he grabbed her arm not too tight to hurt her "because it's unforgivableand I have no excuse for it just so you know I won't ever ask for achance again Dani," his voice in a whisper.

She felt him try to breathe behind her, he turns her around gazing intoher eyes filled with regrets

"because I just realized now, after today I finally realized that nothingcould change. It won't change anything, it won't change me rejectingyou five years ago. It won't even change the fact that I lost youcompletely to someone else and even if I try I know you."

She felt his pain and at the same time, she felt hurt that he won't evenfight for her, for them again as he did months ago anymore. She wasgoing to give him a yes answer if he was going to ask for the chancetoday. All he needed was a little push yet here he is letting her gocompletely.

Gathering up all her courage and pushing away any other thoughts sheheld his gaze "Fine" and walk away.

He stood there feeling numb not fighting for her to earn a secondchance is cowardice but when he saw happiness in her when she's withKiev who would want to take that away and remind her of the past.

He doesn't want to inflict another pain on her, rejecting her was amistake not only he made but also other wolves out there. Letting hergo meaning he truly loves her even though it kills him slowly at least itwould mend with his decision in the past.

Dante stays rooted in his office slowly he broke down sobbing over theloss of his Mate. He felt his heart rip out of his chest wishing he couldhave made things better for her. Dante stays there weeping in his officebeating on his broken heart.

He went to see her already in the car with Cameron to go back home,after calming himself and his wolf. Who literally blames Dante for losingtheir Mate.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Jem stood beside him watching his Alpha with concerns. His beta knewwhat his Alpha gone through and what he's been trying to do for thepast months.

"I think you should forget about her, let her go. You! my friend, havealready paid for it. You've done enough if she doesn't see it then it's herloss," he finally said what has been occupying his mind lately.

"Actually I just did" he turns and walks back towards the packhouse.When night comes everyone came to dinner but he has never seen heraround that night

"She left," he heard one of the warriors from her new pack murmur tohis other fellow friend

"Yeah, she left with the crazy maniac. I don't know why she chose himout of all the boys out there. I mean Alpha was interested in her eventhough they aren't mates”

They whisper in low voices and once they saw him standing near them,he couldn't hear them any longer, as they now mind links instead ofconversing out loud.

Jem again came and stood in front of his friend "you wanna go out?"he asks "yeah that would be great.”

At the same time on the rogues’ King territory, he was smashing thingsin his office over their loss. Cringing in disappointment and murderousthought filling his mind once he heard the news of her gone with Kiev.“The bastard has betrayed him over again, he growls for Zane who gotthere immediately

"replace them" he growls

"Alpha Kiev is moving to Aaron's territory while she, we don't knowwhere she went. She's not with him"

The alpha King was satisfied by this piece of information that suddenlyhe calms down for a bit smiling to himself.

"Perfect, now we have to watch until we know for sure. We still mobilizebut as for now we rest until then."
