The Failed Rejection
Chapter 1

It was graduation day! She was so excited and proud of herself. Four years of hard work finally paid off. she graduated c*m Lade and accepted to several top medical schools in America. Penelope hadn’t decided which one she was going to pick. However, was thinking about staying as close to Lili and Callum as possible. She snapped back into reality and she heard her name.

“Penelope Braxton. c*m Lade.” As she walked up to the stage she heard her sister cheer her on. She stood her place next to the department head, and took her picture as she was handed the fake diploma. The real one would be mailed in a couple of weeks. She quickly used her werewolf abilities and found them. There they were; the two most important people in her life.

Penelope had almost skipped graduation, but Lili had refused to let her. Lili told her, you are the first in our family to graduate college and you are walking that stage.

They listened for another hour to speaks and other people walk the stage. Then finally they all rose and were told to change their tassels to the opposite side, indicating they graduated.

Penelope wished that her parents were here to see her graduate, but after she choose to visit Lili instead of seeing dad released from the cells they haven’t talked to her. Penelope sighed, she didn’t even want to think about Olivia. Penelope knew she shouldn’t miss her, but she did. Olivia, despite what she did was still her sister. Penelope only wished she could have told her goodbye before she was put to death. Penelope quickly put those thoughts aside as she walked out of the auditorium, it was a happy day.

There was a sea of bodies on the lawn of the university auditorium. Penelope was looking for her sister and nephew when all of a sudden there he was. Noah Logan, her mate. He had to be the most attractive man she had every seen, but it could have been since they hadn’t seen each other for almost a year.

Penelope had tried to give him a chance, they went on a few dates, but she couldn’t let him go past first base. Anytime they tried to get intimate Penelope pushed him away, she would just have flashbacks of that day she met him. Balls deep in the pack sl*t. Finally one day it came to a blow up.

Flashback begins

Penelope and Noah have been kissing heavily for several minute when suddenly his hand goes to her breast. Penelope tries to brushes it away, but he brings it right back. Penelope pulls away from him.

“Noah, stop I’m not ready for anything more.” Noah is obviously frustrated,

“Why the hell not? We’ve been playing this dance for several months now. Why can’t we go any further. I don’t mean s*x I just mean something more than PG.” Penelope let out a deep breath and said,

“Cause anytime you touch me I can’t stop seeing you with her. I don’t know what it is, but it’s just like this flash that pops in my head and just makes me stop.”

“I’ve been over this I’m sorry, I wish I could change it, but I can’t, why can’t you just get past this?” Noah said, his voice raising with every word. Penelope finally blew up,

“Because it was supposed to be magical! We were supposed to lock eyes from across the room and fall into each other’s arms. You weren’t supposed to have your d**k in some slut!” Noah let out a long sigh,

“You just need to move past this, what do we need to do to move past this?” Penelope took a deep breath,

“I don’t know, what you do if you were in my position? You know, if you caught me f*****g some hot young doctor in the storage closet?” He let out a growl.

“I’d kill him.” Penelope let out a low laugh.

“See there, you’d kill him. It’s perfectly acceptable for you to kill him, but as a woman I just have to accept it and move on with our relationship.”

“I don’t know what to do Penelope, I’ve apologized, I’ve bought you flowers, gifts. I’ve waited, I’ve not pushed you. But my wolf is going nuts in my head, all he wants to do is mark you, but I know I would loose you if I did that.”

“Just give me some time.” Noah stood up furious,

“Time! All I’ve been giving you is time!”

“I’m sorry Noah, I can’t change the way I feel.” Noah left furious. Penelope knew it wasn’t good they left things that way, and she was right. It wasn’t but an hour later when she felt the betrayal pains.

Penelope was in too much pain to be furious. The betrayal pains lasted hours, and she had to call Jackson to take her to the pack infirmary. She was beyond pissed when the staff gave her pitying looks. When the morphine kicked in she decided she would get a little payback.

The next night she called up Nick, one of the few men she had slept with and asked if she could come over. He readily agreed as he hadn’t found a mate either. She relieved some of the mate tension the same way her mate did. When they were done she thanked Nick and checked her phone. Penelope had over twenty missed calls and texts. She ignored the text messages and decided to call him.

“Hey there mate, something wrong?” She asked in a fake sweet voice.

“You b***h! Who were you screwing.”

“Oh honey, that’s none of your business, I didn’t ask you who you were screwing now did I? All is fair in love and mates.” Penelope said twisting the old saying and then hung up.

Flashback over

Penelope hadn’t talked to Noah since that day. She also hasn’t felt the betrayal pains since that one time either. Penelope walked up to Noah.

“Congratulations graduate,” Noah said with a smile on his face. He acted like everything was perfectly fine between the two of them.

“Thanks, how did you know?” She asked.

“Your sister told me,” Penelope laughed and looked around for her.

“She’s waiting for me to talk to you first, I know you have plans with her and Callum. But I was hoping I could come by later. Just to talk.”

“I don’t know, Noah.” Penelope said uncertain. While she was back in his presence she did feel the mate bond doing it’s magic.

“It’s important.” Penelope nodded her head in agreement,

“All right.” Penelope ran over to her sister.

“Why did you do that?” She asked picking up Callum. That boy got bigger every day. She didn’t think she would be able to hold him much longer.

“You know why Penne. You guys need to figure out your issues.” That got her dander up.

“What you mean like you and Nathan? Or how about you and Killian?” Nathan’s mate miraculously came back from the dead a few weeks ago and Lili left when Nathan let her stay in the pack house.”

“My situation has only been a few weeks, not years like yours.”

“Killian?”

“Killian rejected me and we had no contact since then. I had no idea he wanted anything to do with me.”

“So what are you going to do about it?” Lili let out a laugh, “I don’t know know.” Penelope let out a sigh,

“Welcome to the club, sister.”
