One mate and a Rejection

Chapter 9

PART 1 Chapter 9

Blade's Pov

It was hard enough,trying to blend in with the night and and remain invisible to your mate who was just

across the street,on a date with some other guy,then they had to go to some children's park too.

It was agonizing,witnessing the laughter of my mate being caused by someone who's not me.

I wanted to rip his throat out.

He looked at her as if she was the prettiest woman he's ever laid eyes on and she so easily laughed

back,unaware that nobody's that good,and everybody has secrets. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Little does she know how big his secret is.

I followed them as they drove back to her house,making sure to remain out of sight and blend in the

dark shade of my wolf with the night.

They made a sudden turn and I wondered if it was an accident.

But I caught sight of Emerald exiting the car and decided to follow her some more.

She walked towards the forest,;nowhere near her house despite the late hour,careless to the doors that

lay unopened.

I followed until she stopped at a clearing,looking around,trying to catch sight of anything familiar.

Confusion dug into my gut,wondering why she's come here of all the places.

I watched as Emerald brought her phone up to her face,not missing her panicked expression.

I wondered when was her birthday.

Emerald's Pov

11:58 I ripped my eyes away from the flashing numbers on the screen and focused on stifling the panic

that has risen beneath visibility.

Two more minutes and I would have already had my mate.

Two more minutes and Jared would be here with me,kissing me comfortingly and whispering calming

words into my ears I shut my eyes and fell to my knees,hugging myself and awaiting the shift that

threatened my life.

Would I survive tonight? I thought of the stances I'd get in.

On my knees,dad had said, it will ease the pain.

I thought of if I didn't survive.

How would mom and dad feel? What about Jason,Lisa and john? What about Jared? Will he feel as if

he's responsible? Will he feel guilty? I felt a wave of shameful satisfaction.

Why would I want him to hurt? Maybe as revenge for hurting me? I pushed away suffocating thoughts

and pictured myself alive after this.

A fully shifted werewolf,independent and forever non— mated.

I didn't know why I couldn't picture myself finding out my mate.

I guess it was because I couldn't picture myself without Jared,let alone anyone else.

I sigh and await the pain that would surely arrive,and then I felt a sudden movement inside my body.

It didn't hurt,the opposite actually.

It felt as if a sore muscle had just popped.

I sighed in relief.

Maybe the pain wouldn't be as bad as I thought.

I felt the blood rushing to my face as a blood curdling scream made its way out of my mouth.

I gripped my waist,dropping my phone in the process where it sat on the muddy ground flashing the

numbers 12:04.

The bones inside my body began to circle and shift directions and I struggled to get on my knees.

My arms seemed to have stopped working and my right leg was set in a twisted angle.

Tears burned my eyes and blurred my vision as I tried to keep my screaming under control.

I couldn't move! Everything inside my body had stopped obeying me and was now doing its own thing.

My shoulders rolled back, letting out a sicking popping sound that made me flinch.

I felt a shadow approach and begged that it wasn't human but I couldn't turn around to see who.

I felt my nails and teeth extend as I sat frozen.

I felt a hand—or rather paws that gripped my paralyzed waist and turned my over.

They brought my legs up and fixed them both so that I lau on my hands and knees.

The pain slightly eased and I felt the shift speeding up.

My elbow cracked and bent but I didn't see it,! couldn't.

My hearing and sensing was improving and I was suddenly aware of everything around me,especially

the unidentified stranger that had gratefully helped me.

Despite my shut eyes,my vision showed fire.

I saw cracking and burning,much like the pain.

I let out another scream as my back cracked and twisted.

I had the sudden urge to be set free.

I wanted to run around the whole forest and feel freedom as it rushed to sooth my tension and ease my

worry.

I wanted to be loved.

I wanted something that wasn't quite there,yet I yearned for it.

I craved for it like an addictive drug that I haven't yet taken.

I felt my whole body release into the wolf I've been waiting for since I was born,feeling a lot like a

ripped bandage.

I let out a growl and blinked to regain my improved vision to catch sight of my beautiful hazel color.

My eyes shifted to the person that had helped me and I saw that it was actually a wolf.

A gorgeous black wolf that made my fresh knees week.

Confused,I nudged him with my nose and almost fell as the contact sank in.

My eyes searched his own as I begged reality that it wouldn't be true.

Mate.

The word was sparkled,highlighted and capitalized in my mind,making it impossible to ignore.

While my wolf wanted nothing more than to cherish the word,my human side wanted to cry out loud for

the betrayal I felt.

I felt as if I was cheating Jared.

Anger flooded my veins for my thoughts of him.

I shouldn't feel like that,not when I have finally found my mate.

I found myself wanting to touch him more,to discover just what he can make me feel.

I let my nose trail the slope of his neck as a sign of affection.

I wondered who this person was,and just how handsome he must be.

Blades Pov

The gut tearing feeling had dropped on me as soon as she released into her wolf.

My breath suddenly was held captive at my throat as I watched the most beautiful thing in my life

unleash.

She was a mouth watering hazel color with the structure of a proud,independent female.

Much like an alpha,she stood high on all her fours with her chin up in the air,taking in her surroundings.

Her eyes shifted to where my black wolf stood,jaw opened and no doubt looking like a complete fool.

She nudged me with her nose,making me weak with the fire that flashed through my body.

I could tell she was confused and I wanted nothing more than to capture her in my arms and spill

everything.

A moment later she must have discovered we were mates because she ran her nose down the slope of

my neck, affectionately.

My wolf purred and growled at the tease,wanting nothing more than to lay my lips upon hers and make

magic.

I responded back immediately,as a person would to breathing.

My tongue stuck out and licked her beautiful face as a sign of lust.

She rubbed her nose against me,her eyes saying one thing.

Shift.
